It is carried into the body of the congregation to remind us that we are now the bearers of Christ’s message to the world.

Any children present may leave for Children’s Church at this point. They will return during the Peace (p.10). An acclamation is sung. It usually begins Alleluia! The Lord be with you.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Byzantine Liturgy and the Primary Chronicle A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures by Sean Delaine Griffin 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Byzantine Liturgy and the Primary Chronicle by Sean Delaine Griffin Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Gail Lenhoff, Chair The monastic chroniclers of medieval Rus’ lived in a liturgical world. Morning, evening and night they prayed the “divine services” of the Byzantine Church, and this study is the first to examine how these rituals shaped the way they wrote and compiled the Povest’ vremennykh let (Primary Chronicle, ca. 12th century), the earliest surviving East Slavic historical record. My principal argument is that several foundational accounts of East Slavic history—including the tales of the baptism of Princess Ol’ga and her burial, Prince Vladimir’s conversion, the mass baptism of Rus’, and the martyrdom of Princes Boris and Gleb—have their source in the feasts of the liturgical year. The liturgy of the Eastern Church proclaimed a distinctively Byzantine myth of Christian origins: a sacred narrative about the conversion of the Roman Empire, the glorification of the emperor Constantine and empress Helen, and the victory of Christianity over paganism. In the decades following the conversion of Rus’, the chroniclers in Kiev learned these narratives from the church services and patterned their own tales of Christianization after them. The ii result was a myth of Christian origins for Rus’—a myth promulgated even today by the Russian Orthodox Church—that reproduced the myth of Christian origins for the Eastern Roman Empire articulated in the Byzantine rite.

    Византийский временник, т. 55 G. R Majeska NOTES ON THE SKEUOPHYLAKION OF ST. SOPHIA* The removal of the accumulated material that, in modern times, has filled the lower level of the round Byzantine structure at the northeast corner of the Church of St. Sophia in Istanbul1 should reanimate discussion of the uses of that building during the Byzantine era and allow sur- mises and assumptions to be checked against the physical evidence. Although the still impressive older theoretical studies of what is generally recognized as the σκβυοφυλάκιον, or treasury, of the Great Church remain fundamental to any understanding of the building's architecture, his- tory and use2, in recent years considerable light has been thrown on the nature of this building by scholars considering its liturgical role. The monographic studies of Thomas Mathews and Robert Taft leave no doubt that, at least in the pre-iconoclastic period, and quite possibly also later, this building was not only used to store liturgical vessels and church plate but also served as the starting point of the "Great Entrance," the procession that brought the eucharistic elements to the high altar of St. Sophia during the Divine liturgy. Indeed, it has become clear that it was in the skeuophylakion of the Great Church that the bread and wine for the liturgy were prepared in a rite that came to be called the προσκομηδή, or liturgy of preparation3. Although how late the tradition of perfor- ming the liturgy of preparation in the skeuopkylakion continued is unclear, as late as A.D. 1200 a Russian traveler still describes the building as the "πρόθβσις" (малый олтарь) that is, the place where the eucharistic elements are prepared4.

    BETHESDA EPISCOPAL CHURCH Washington Street near Broadway Saratoga Springs, New York THE SOLEMNITY OF SAINT MARY THE VIRGIN 14 AUGUST 2016 FAREWELL, DEACON SWEENEY In the autumn of 2014, The Reverend Peter H. Sweeney was assigned by our Diocesan, Bishop Love, to serve officially as Deacon of Bethesda Church. Although he has been here just under two years, his impact upon parish life has been more than noticeable. Of particular distinction has been his ministry to our youth, including mission engagements locally and beyond, and his outreach to Episcopalians at the Wesley Home. Together with his wife, Stacey, and his younger daughter, Claire, the Sweeneys' energy and smiles have touched each of us. Today concludes Deacon Peter's ministry among us. Please join us for a reception in his honor ,immediately following the Solemn Eucharist, at the Empire Room at the former Van Dam Hotel. Soon after the festivities, the Sweeney Family will depart for their new home in the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Please keep them in your prayers. You may also con- tinue your friendship with each of them at the following address: The Sweeney Family 410 Brandywine Road Irwin, PA 15642 With grateful hearts, we bid the Sweeney's Godspeed! Please switch off all cellular telephones, and other electronic devices before the Liturgy begins.

Edited by Philip James Secker. Revised 3/17/19. 40 pages. Editor's Note: Arthur Carl Piepkorn's classic monograph The Conduct of the Service is primarily about the rubrics of the Service, but contains a great deal of information about what is in Piepkorn's 1962 classic monograph The Architectural Requirements of the Lutheran Cultus (which is in 3-Step Plan Article #7 The Full 3-step Plan). "Cultus" is a Latin loan word that refers to adiaphora, that is, things that are neither commanded nor forbidden by God such as architecture, altars, banners, baptismal fonts, candles, holy communion vessels and rails, hymnals, musical instruments, offering plates, pews, unleavened holy communion wafers, vestments, etc. So both monographs should be used together. The following book is now available as a computer searchable CD that can be searched for additional information on what is in those two monographs: The Sacred Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions, edited and introduced by Philip J.

Another goal is that people who work their way through this material will be able to begin to participate meaningfully in the ministry and prayer life of the church. The Inquirers’ Class is not a Bible study. However, the main biblical truths of the faith are the focus of the class. The Inquirers’ Class gives the foundation and framework for our practice of the faith.

The usual Syriac word for the Eucharistic Liturgy is either qurobo , meaning "approach" or qurbono , "oblation" or "sacrifice." The Holy Fathers of the Syrian Church often refer to the Liturgy as the rozé qadeeshé (the Holy Mysteries), signifying the profound mystery of the bread and wine, identified with our human nature, becoming the Body and Blood of our Lord in a manner not comprehensible to the external human senses. The Liturgy itself consists of two basic parts, the Order of Offering and the Anaphora proper. The Order of Offering is composed of the Liturgy of Preparation and the Liturgy of the Word and concludes with the Creed. The Anaphora opens with the Prayer of the Kiss of Peace, directed to God the Father, and includes the Blessing of the Bread and Wine, the Anamnesis, Invocation of the Holy Spirit, the six Prayers of Intercession, the Prayer of Fraction and Commixture, the Lord's Prayer, the Great Elevation, the Communion, Prayer of Thanksgiving, Dismissal of the Faithful and the Post Communion Prayers. The consecratory portion of the Holy Liturgy begins with the Blessing of the Bread and Wine and is completed by the Epiclesis.
