Leaflet (Bulletin) for Holy Eucharist, November 16, 2008 The Twenty-Seventh Sunday After Pentecost the holy eucharist rite two november 16, 2008 at eleven fifteen am The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter & Saint Paul in the City & Episcopal Diocese of Washington the season after pentecost During the season after Pentecost, we meet Jesus during his earthly ministry. We learn of Jesus’ teachings and Jesus’ call to us. We use this time to learn more about the Messiah so that we can serve and love each other as Jesus did. The season after Pentecost is the longest season of the Church year, stretching from the end of Easter to the beginning of Advent. It stands between two periods of exciting activity: between the joyous celebration of Christ’s resurrection and the beginning of the Church year (Advent) in which we begin again to anticipate Christ’s birth. The season after Pentecost is a season of growth and refreshment. The vestments worn by clergy are green, suggesting growth and renewal. It is appropriate that Pentecost spans the agricultural season–just as crops mature during the summer months with the help of sunlight, soil, and rain, so we grow in relation to Christ as we recount Jesus’ words and teachings.

THE WORD OF GOD The people are seated for the reading and the psalm. the lesson 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11 Concerning the times and the seasons, brothers and sisters, you do not need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. When they say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them, as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and there will be no escape! But you, beloved, are not in darkness, for that day to surprise you like a thief; for you are all children of light and children of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness. So then let us not fall asleep as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober; for those who sleep sleep at night, and those who are drunk get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. For God has destined us not for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing. Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. psalm 123 chant: Dupuis The choir sings the antiphon, then all repeat. The choir sings the verses. To you I lift up my eyes, to you enthroned in the heavens. As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, and the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, until he show us his mercy. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy, for we have had more than enough of contempt, Too much of the scorn of the indolent rich, and of the derision of the proud. All sing.

Teach me, my God and King Carlisle 5 the gospel Matthew 25:14–30 Presider The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. People Glory to you, Lord Christ. Jesus said, “For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. The one who had received the five talents went off at once and traded with them, and made five more talents. In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents. But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ But his master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents. For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. As for this worthless slave, throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’” Gospeller The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ. The people are seated at the invitation of the preacher. the sermon Dean Lloyd A brief period of silence is observed for reflection on the sermon. The people stand for the Creed. the nicene creed Said by all. We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.O n the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

  • Leaflet (Bulletin) for Festival Holy Eucharist on Easter Day, April 4, 2010
    The Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ Easter Day The Cathedral Church of St. Peter & St. Paul in the City & Episcopal Diocese of Washington Happy Easter and welcome to Washington National Cathedral! We gather this morning to celebrate the deepest, most important truth we know—that in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God has entered into our world to bring hope, healing, and new life. Jesus embodied God’s unstoppable love so completely that he became a threat to nearly everyone around him, and he was hung on a cross for refusing to compromise or set limits on that love. Today the church proclaims that death was not the last word for him, that God raised him to new life, and in doing that has opened the possibility of healing and hope for everyone. Easter promises that, as with the first disciples, we too can know this risen Lord and can find our lives being filled with his life. So our celebration tonight is not simply about an event long ago, but about how the miracle of resurrection can take place in us. We are delighted you are here for this service as we make the journey from the darkness of Good Friday to the first in-breaking of Easter. If you are a visitor, we hope you will come back often as we explore what this Easter faith can do for us and for our world. May you discover this Easter joy for yourself through this season and throughout the year. 8 am The Right Reverend John Bryson Chane, presider The Reverend Canon Carol L.

  • All Persons Equally Deserve the Ability to Pursue Their Dreams and Contribute to Their Communities and Families with Liberty, Dignity, and Freedom.” January 12, 2015
    “All persons equally deserve the ability to pursue their dreams and contribute to their communities and families with liberty, dignity, and freedom.” January 12, 2015 Over one hundred Episcopal Church bishops have joined Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori in welcoming President Obama’s decision to offer relief from deportation to millions of undocumented community members and to reform certain harmful immigration enforcement policies. “I give thanks for President Obama’s announcement that nearly five million undocumented immigrants will soon be eligible for relief from the threat of deportation,” the letter states. In the statement, the Presiding Bishop and the bishops call upon the 114th Congress and the Obama Administration to work together to implement the executive orders quickly, fairly, and inclusively, and ask that Congress and the Administration continue to work together in pursuit of just and permanent solutions to our nation’s broken immigration system. The statement and the signatories follow: Together with families and communities across the United States, I give thanks for President Obama’s announcement that nearly five million undocumented immigrants will soon be eligible for relief from the threat of deportation. Too many families have lived for too long continually worried about parents being separated from children, wage-earners and caregivers from those who depend on them, and unable to participate fully in their communities and the nation’s economy. Permanent and comprehensive reform of our broken immigration system through congressional action is still urgently needed, but the President’s action is a constructive step toward a system that honors the dignity and intrinsic value of every human being.

  • The Case of Yale University by Martha C. Highsmith Founded in 1701
    VOLUME 2, ISSUE 3 JULY 2005 Instituting Change in the Spiritual Make-up of a University: The Case of Yale University By Martha C. Highsmith Founded in 1701, Yale University’s origins are steeped in religion. The original Charter, an important governing document to this day, identifies Yale as a place where youth “might be fitted for Publick (sic) employment both in Church & Civil State.” The founders – a group of local congregational ministers – could not have foreseen the evolution of their “collegiate school” from a small parochial institution to a large university with global reach. And while they envisioned a continuing and central role for religion, they certainly could not have imagined the rich diversity of religious expression found on campus as Yale enters its fourth century. Two years ago, the President and Officers of the University decided that Yale should assess its religious life initiatives for the purpose of creating the most vibrant programs of spiritual formation available in higher education. We invited a distinguished group of clergy, chaplains, and educators from a variety of backgrounds, representing Christian, Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim traditions. (see note 1 below) This Committee was asked to create a new vision for how Yale could more ambitiously support the full range of religious beliefs on campus. In addition, we also sought a plan for strengthening Christian worship life on campus. The Committee took up these initial questions with dedication, thoroughness, and creativity. Through this process, the Committee’s recommendations focused on three major areas: (1) religious ministry to students from a variety of faiths; (2) worship at Yale; and (3) Yale’s Chaplaincy program.

  • Episcopal Community in Prince George's County Says Faith Journey
    Episcopal community in Prince George’s County says faith journey led to Catholic Church BLADENSBURG – In the fall of 2009, Pope Benedict XVI issued an apostolic constitution called “Anglicanorum coetibus” to provide a means for entire Anglican parishes or groups to become Catholic while retaining some of their Anglican heritage and liturgical practice. That document “opened up a door that had previously been closed,” said the Rev. Mark Lewis, rector of St. Luke Episcopal Parish in Bladensburg. At that same time, he had been studying a book on Catholicism and Anglicanism. After a long period of discernment, the Maryland congregation announced June 6 that it would seek entry into the Catholic Church. “I’m thrilled and tremendously humbled to take this journey with my people at St. Luke, and humbled that I could become a priest of the Roman Catholic Church,” Rev. Lewis said in an interview with the Catholic Standard, newspaper of the Washington Archdiocese. Ordained as an Episcopal priest in 2001, he has been rector of St. Luke since 2006 and hopes to begin the process to be ordained a Catholic priest. Members of St. Luke will begin formal preparation to be received into the Catholic Church, likely later this year. Patrick Delaney, a junior warden with the congregation, joined the rector in the interview, and said the community’s taking that step reflected “the presence of the Holy Spirit at work.” Prayer and study, not any controversies, led the congregation toward unity with the Catholic Church, Rev. Lewis said, when asked whether Episcopal doctrine on the priesthood or sexual issues had precipitated the move.
