Prayer Book Studies Prayer Book Studies . ,') ---/ : --' t '. 'j IX \) THE CALENDAR THE STANDING LITURGICAL COMMISSION OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE CHURCH PENSION FUND NEW YORK 1957 Copyright, 1957, by THE CHURCH PENSION FUND - Preface The last revision of our Prayer Book was brought to a rather abrupt conclusion in 1928. Consideration of it had preoccupied the time of General Convention ever since 1913. Everyone was weary of the long and ponderous legislative process, and de­ sired to make the new Prayer Book available as soon as possible for the use of the Church. But the work of revision, which sometimes has seemed diffi­ cult to start, in this case proved hard to stop. The years of de­ bate had aroused widespread interest in the whole subject; and the mind of the Church was more receptive of suggestions for revision when the work was brought to an end than when it began. Moreover, the revision was actually closed to new ac­ tion in 1925, in order that it might receive final adoption in 1928: so that it was not possible to give the consideration to a number of very desirable features in the English and Scottish revisions, which appeared simultaneously with our own. It was further realized that there were some rough edges in what had been done, as well as an unsatisfied demand for still further alterations. The problems of defects in detail were met by continuing the Revision Commission, and giving it rather large 'editorial' powers (subject only to review by General Convention) to correct obvious errors in the text as adopted, in the publication of the new Prayer Book. Then, to deal with the constructive proposals for other changes which continued to be brought up in every General Convention, the Revision Commission was reconstituted as a Standing Liturgical Commission. To this body all matters concerning the Prayer Book were to be re­ ferred, for preservation in permanent files, and for continuing consideration, until such time as the accumulated matter was sufficient in amount and importance to justify proposing an­ other Revision. The number of such referrals by General Convention, of Memorials from Dioceses, and of suggestions made directly to III Preface the Commission from all regions and schools and parties in the Church, has now reached such a total that it is evident that there is a widespread and insistent demand for a general re­ vision of the Prayer Book. The Standing Liturgical Commission is not, however, pro­ posing any immediate revision. On the contrary, we believe that there ought to be a period of study and discussion, to ac­ quai:nt the Church at large with the principles and issues in­ volved, in order that the eventual action may be taken intelli­ gently, and if possible without consuming so much of the time of our supreme legislative synod. Accordingly, the General Convention of 1949 signalized the Fourth Centennial Year of the First Book of Common Prayer in English by authorizing the Liturgical Commission to publish its findings, in the form of a series of Prayer Book Studies. It must be emphasized that the liturgical forms presented in these Studies are not - and under our Constitution, cannot be - sanctioned for public use. They are submitted for free discus­ sion. The Commission will be grateful for copies or articles, resolutions, and direct comment, for its consideration, that the mind of the Church may be fully known to the body charged with reporting it. In this undertaking, we have endeavored to be objective and impartial. It is not possible to avoid every matter which may be thought by some to be controversial. Ideas which seem to be constructively valuable will be brought to the attention of the Church, without too much regard as to whether they may ultimately be judged to be expedient. We cannot undertake to eliminate every proposal to which anyone might conceivably object: to do so would be to admit that any constructive prog­ ress is impossible. What we can do is to be alert not to alter the present balance of expressed or implied doctrine of the Church; We can seek to counterbalance every proposal which might seem to favor some one party of opinion by some other change in the opposite direction. The goal we have constantly had in mind- however imperfectly we may have succeeded iv Preface in attaining it - is the shaping of a future Prayer Book which every party might embrace with the well-founded conviction that therein its own position had been strengthened, its witness enhanced, and its devotions enriched. The objective we have pursued is the same as that expressed by the Commission for the Revision of 1892: "Resolved, That this Committee, in all its suggestions and acts, be guided by those principles of liturgical construction and ritual use which have guided the compilation and amendments of the Book of Common Prayer, and have made it what it is." • • • THE STANDING LITURGICAL COMMISSION GOODRICH R.

SMITH SPENCER ERVIN, Secretary JOHN W . ASHTON • Died, April 27, 1957 The Commission has been at work on this report since 1945. Throughout its preparation, the sub-committee responsible for the Calendar Study has consisted of Dr. Shepherd, Dr. Jones, and the Reverend Morton C. Stone. The Commission grate­ fully records that Dr. Jones' invaluable assistance in preparing materials for this Study continued with unabated energy and interest until his untimely death on April 27, 1957. He had been v Preface able to read and give his approval to most of the manuscript of this Study. A companion Study to this volume will follow in due time, with proposals for the propers of the minor Holy Days - Col­ lects, Epistles and Gospels. Only those entries in the present proposed Calendar that are printed in italics will be provided with a full set of propers; the other Black Letter commemora­ tions will have only a memorial Collect. In view of the length of the two Studies, it has seemed best to publish them as sepa­ rate volumes. MASSEY H. SHEPHERD, JR. When this Study was in final stages of proof, the Commis­ sion received the Report of a Commission appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, preliminary to the Lambeth Con­ ference of 1958, entitled The Commemoration of Saints and Heroes of the Faith in the Anglican Communion (London: S.P.c.K., 1957). The Commission regrets that it was not avail­ able in time for its study and use in the preparation of this book. But we commend it to the readers of this Study as a val­ uable supplement of comment and illustration upon the subject of Calendar revision.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • The Use of Metonymic Principles in Presentation of Battle Scenes In
    Kostyantyn Gulyy 1 THE LINGUOPOETIC USE OF THE METONYMIC PRINCIPLE IN THE PRESENTATION OF BATTLE SCENES IN BEOWULF 1. Introduction The aspectual and thematic diversity of existing research works on Beowulf is well-known. This paper presents yet another distinctive trait of the poem’s text. In Anglo-American scholarly literature, the area to which this research work belongs is generally known as poetic diction . The essence of this research area, however, is arguably better represented by the term lingu- opoetics used in Central and Eastern European works. Linguopoetics can be loosely defined as the features of the language of a literary work that reflect the world outlook and the aesthetic-philosophical conceptions and artistic vision pertaining to a particular author, a literary school or even a whole lit- erary epoch. A stricter definition still continues to be a task of theoreticians. The current state of fundamental research in the field is still rather at the phase described by Akhmanova and Zadornova decades ago: “Linguopoetics 1 Kostyantyn Gulyy specialises in linguistic approaches to literary poetics: historical and comparative aspects. Kazimierz Wielki University, Bydgoszcz, Poland; email: [email protected]. Linguistics Applied vol. 4 (2011), pp. 94-108 Kostyantyn Gulyy, The linguopoetic use of the metonymic principle in the presentation of battle scenes in “Beowulf” The linguopoetic use of the metonymic principle... as a separate linguistic discipline still presents a tangle of different strains whose natural relationship is often obscured by the variety of materials and incompatibility of approaches” (Akhmanova and Zadornova 1977: 250). The specific purpose of this study is to analyze the metonymic principle underly- ing the verbal presentation of a number of battle scenes in Beowulf .

Today, having a clear faith based on the Creed of the Church is often labeled as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, that is, letting oneself be “tossed here and there, carried about by every wind of doctrine”, seems the only attitude that can cope with modern times. We are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one’s own ego and desires.

  • Simone Weil: an Anthology
    PENGUIN � CLASSICS SIMONE WElL : AN AN THOL OGY SIMONE WElL (1909-1 943) is one of the most important thinkers of the modern period. The distinctive feature of her work is the indissoluble link she makes between the theory and practice of both politics and religion and her translation of thought into action . A brilliant philosopher and mathematician, her life rep­ resents a quest for justice and balance in both the academic and the practical spheres. A scholar of deep and wide erudition, she became during the thirties an inspired teacher and activist. So as to experience physical labour at first hand, she spent almost two years as a car factory worker soon after the Front Populaire and later became a fighterin the Spanish Civil War. When her home city of Paris was occupied, she joined the Resistance in the South of France and became for a time an agricultural labourer before acceding to her parents' wish to escape Nazi persecution of the Jews by fleeing to New York. Leaving America, she joined the Free French in London where, frustrated by the exclusively intellectual nature of the work delegated to her, and weakened by a number of physical and emotional factors, she contracted tuberculosis and died in a Kentish sanatorium at the age of thirty-four. The bulk of her voluminous oeuvre was published posthumously. SIAN MILES was born and brought up in the bi-cultural atmos­ phere of Wales and educated there and in France where she has lived for many years. She has taught at a number of universities worldwide, including Tufts University, Massachusetts, Dakar University, Senegal and York University, Toronto.

  • ROMAN EMPERORS in POPULAR JARGON: SEARCHING for CONTEMPORARY NICKNAMES (1)1 by CHRISTER BRUUN
    ROMAN EMPERORS IN POPULAR JARGON: SEARCHING FOR CONTEMPORARY NICKNAMES (1)1 By CHRISTER BRUUN Popular culture and opposite views of the emperor How was the reigning Emperor regarded by his subjects, above all by the common people? As is well known, genuine popular sentiments and feelings in antiquity are not easy to uncover. This is why I shall start with a quote from a recent work by Tessa Watt on English 16th-century 'popular culture': "There are undoubtedly certain sources which can bring us closer to ordinary people as cultural 'creators' rather than as creative 'consumers'. Historians are paying increasing attention to records of slanderous rhymes, skimmingtons and other ritualized protests of festivities which show people using established symbols in a resourceful way.,,2 The ancient historian cannot use the same kind of sources, for instance large numbers of cheap prints, as the early modern historian can. 3 But we should try to identify related forms of 'popular culture'. The question of the Roman Emperor's popularity might appear to be a moot one in some people's view. Someone could argue that in a highly 1 TIlls study contains a reworking of only part of my presentation at the workshop in Rome. For reasons of space, only Part (I) of the material can be presented and discussed here, while Part (IT) (' Imperial Nicknames in the Histaria Augusta') and Part (III) (,Late-antique Imperial Nicknames') will be published separately. These two chapters contain issues different from those discussed here, which makes it feasible to create the di vision. The nicknames in the Histaria Augusta are largely literary inventions (but that work does contain fragments from Marius Maximus' imperial biographies, see now AR.

  • Gendered Networks and Communicability in Medieval
    GENDERED NETWORKS AND COMMUNICABILITY IN MEDIEVAL HISTORICAL NARRATIVES APREPRINT S D Prado, S R Dahmen A L C Bazzan, Instituto de F´ısica Instituto de Informatica´ Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Porto Alegre, 91501-970, Brazil Porto Alegre, 91501-970, Brazil M MacCarron J Hillner Department of Digital Humanities Department of History University College Cork University of Sheffield Cork, T12 YN60, Ireland Sheffield, S3 7RA, UK February 5, 2020 ABSTRACT One of the defining representations of women from medieval times is in the role of peaceweaver, that is, a woman was expected to ’weave’ peace between warring men. The underlying assumption in scholarship on this topic is that female mediation lessens male violence. This stance can however be questioned since it may be the result of gender-based peace and diplomacy models that relegate women’s roles to that of conduits between men. By analysing the concept of communicability and relevance of certain nodes in complex networks we show how our sources afford women more complex and nuanced social roles. As a case study we consider a historical narrative, namely Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People, which is a history of Britain from the first to eighth centuries AD and was immensely popular all over Europe in the Middle Ages. Keywords Gendered Networks · Communicability · Node Relevance · Medieval History 1 Introduction In the last few years we have witnessed an explosion in the use of networks as a quantitative tool with which one may analyse and quantify interpersonal relationships in human societies [1, 2].
