Page Two THE PARISH AS ONE BODY “If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? But as it is, God placed the parts, each one of them, in the body as he intended… The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I do not need you,’ nor again the head to the feet, ‘I do not need you.’ Indeed, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are all the more necessary . Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it. “ (1 Cor. 12:17-25) The Seven Essen!al Elements of Parish Life constantly interrelate, each nurturing and suppor!ng the other with the communal celebra!on of Sunday Eucharist at the center.

  • What Is a Capuchin Friar? What Do They Do? Who Are They?
    what is a capuchin friar? what do they do? who are they? an introduction to the Exactly 257 years ago before anyone knew Capuchin Friars about capuchin monkeys (so named in 1758), there were Capuchin friars. It was more than 400 years after Capuchin friars came into existence in 1528 that anyone tasted a cup of cappuccino (first served in 1948). As for friar’s, no, they aren’t fryers, but some of them do prefer theirs fried, rather than baked or grilled. The ‘hood’? It’s all in the name. The brotherhood is found in all kinds of neighbourhoods, hoods and all. Even if you have known Capuchin friars for a long time, it wouldn’t be surprising if you found them somewhat mysterious. The Catholic Church has many religious Orders and communities of men. So what makes Capuchins different? Aren’t they Franciscans? And how are they different from Diocesan priests? It can all be confusing even for those well versed in Catholic life. Maybe you can recognize a Capuchin because of the curious, medieval clothing he wears, but you might wonder what makes him tick on the inside. Come to think about it, why do they wear that robe? And you might ask why anyone would want to be a Capuchin friar in this day and age? Is there a point to a bunch of men living together? Why don’t they get married like other people? And then there’s the money thing? Like everyone else they need it, but they take a vow of poverty.

The friars do formulate similar plans, but their roles vary significantly. I contrast their approaches using Michel Foucault’s definition of pastoral power, with Friar Lawrence as an overly manipulative friar controlling the lovers in spiritual matters, and Friar Francis as a humble military friar returning from the Wars of Religion to share his authority with others.

  • Episcopal Church Style Guide
    Episcopal Church Style Guide The official name of the church is The Episcopal Church. When writing about the Episcopal Church, please follow these guidelines: * In the first reference, the full name of the church is preferred: The Episcopal Church. * When referring to church members, the term “Episcopalians” is preferred. We elect a Presiding Bishop, who is our chief pastor and primate of the church. Chosen by the House of Bishops from one of its members, the Presiding Bishop serves for nine years, or until normal retirement age, if that occurs first. In formal usage, he or she is known as “The Most Reverend”,” usually abbreviated to “The Most Rev.” His or her first name (or preferred forename) is always used, together with an initial if applicable (e.g., “The Most Rev. John A. Smith”, or “The Most Rev. A. John Smith”). All other bishops should be addressed as above, but using the form “The Rt. Rev.” Priests and deacons are referred to as “The Rev.” Our church is organized into dioceses, and there is at least one diocese in each state. However, some states have two or more dioceses. For example, we have a Diocese of New Jersey, but in the northern part of the state there is a Diocese of Newark. Likewise, there is a Diocese of Texas, but there are several other dioceses in that state. The Bishop with jurisdiction of a diocese is usually known as the “diocesan bishop”, and is sometimes known as the “Ordinary.” He or she may have other bishops to assist, who are referred to as “bishops suffragan” and are elected in the same way that bishops are, by representatives of the members of the diocese.

  • Deacon Dennis Formation Forum “God, Come to My Assistance, Lord, Make Haste to Help Me.” My Favorite Prayer, Right from the Liturgy of the Hours
    Archdiocese of Atlanta 2401 Lake Park Drive Smyrna, GA 30080 404-920-7325 Summer 2021 404.920.7326 F My Dear Brothers, As we prepare to celebrate the July 4th holiday it seems to me that this is an excellent time to think back on all the ways that the world has changed since the last time we were able to gather for all of the traditions so associated with Independence Day. Just the idea of being in person with family and friends is a sea change. Gathering for cookouts and fireworks will be a great joy. We are blessed to live in a country with the many freedoms that we sometimes take for granted. One of our greatest gifts is religious liberty. It is not lost on me that having spent nearly a year and a half in so much isolation due to the pandemic, the fact that we can come together and worship, praising God in our communities is no small thing. Receiving the news from the Archbishop that we will once again host the Eucharistic Congress on June 17-18, 2022, the 25th Archdiocesan Congress, has been a real cause for celebration. Y’all will be hearing more from me on that soon! As we begin this Summer, my prayer is that all of you and your families will be safe. I pray that you will have time to gather with others to catch up and rekindle relationships that may have been strained with the stresses of the last many months. I imagine that many of you, like me and mine, will be heading to the beach or mountains for some rest and relaxation.

  • John of Monte Corvino: Report from China 1305
    John of Monte Corvino: Report from China 1305 John of Monte Corvino (1247-1328) was a Franciscan priest and the first archbishop of Cambalec (present-day Beijing) in 1307. He crossed central Asia during a rare interval of peace when that region was controlled by the Mongol Khans. Despite disappointment at the Mongols' reception of their early embassies to the Great Khan and his lieutenants, popes and kings in the West did not abandon hope of converting the Mongols to Roman Christianity and allying with them against Islam. On their part, various Mongol khans continued to flirt with the idea of joining with European Christian powers against a common Muslim foe. In 1287 Arghun, il-khan of Persia (r. 1284-1291), a nephew and subordinate of the Great Khan, Kubilai (r. 1260-1294), sent a Nestorian Christian monk, Rabban (Master) Sauma (ca. 1230-1294) to the West, bearing letters for the pope, the kings of France and England, and the emperor of Constantinople, in which the Mongol prince offered to become a Christian in return for an alliance against a common enemy, the Muslim Mamluks of Egypt. The Mamluks had rolled back a Mongol invasion of Syria- Palestine with a decisive victory at 'Ayn Jalut in 1260, and they were on the threshold of capturing the last of the crusader strongholds in that same region. Arghun died before he or anyone else could act on the proposal, and in 1295 his successor embraced Islam, thereby ending any hope of a Mongol-European crusade in the Holy Land. Arghun's overtures, however, set in motion a remarkable adventure for one European missionary.

  • ABOUT the DIACONATE WHAT IS a DEACON? a Deacon Is One of Three Distinct Orders of Ordained Ministers (Bishops, Priests, Deacons) in the Episcopal Church
    ABOUT THE DIACONATE WHAT IS A DEACON? A deacon is one of three distinct orders of ordained ministers (bishops, priests, deacons) in the Episcopal Church. Within the Anglican Communion, an individual becomes a deacon by being ordained by a bishop after having completed a course of study and formation. This is in contrast to other traditions that use the title for lay persons elected to responsible governing positions in their churches. THE CHARGE TO A DEACON AT ORDINATION God now calls you to a special ministry of servanthood directly under your bishop. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are to serve all people, particularly the poor, the weak, the sick, and the lonely. As a deacon in the Church, you are to study the Holy Scriptures, to seek nourishment from them, and to model your life upon them. You are to make Christ and his redemptive love known, by word and example, to those among whom you live, and work, and worship. You are to interpret to the Church the needs, concerns, and hopes of the world. You are to assist the bishop and priests in public worship and in the ministration of God's Word and Sacraments, and you are to carry out other duties assigned to you from time to time. At all times, your life and teaching are to show Christ's people that in serving the helpless they are serving Christ himself. From The Book of Common Prayer, page 543 WHAT IS THE MINISTRY OF A DEACON? The word deacon derives from the Greek word Diakonos meaning servant or minister and the biblical concept of Diakonia is commonly defined as service, particularly to the poor, sick, and oppressed.

  • The Ordination of Women in the Early Middle Ages
    Theological Studies 61 (2000) THE ORDINATION OF WOMEN IN THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES GARY MACY [The author analyzes a number of references to the ordination of women in the early Middle Ages in light of the meaning given to ordination at that time and in the context of the ministries of early medieval women. The changing definition of ordination in the twelfth century is then assessed in view of contemporary shifts in the understanding of the sacraments. Finally, a brief commentary is presented on the historical and theological significance of this ma- terial.] N HER PROVOCATIVE WORK, The Lady was a Bishop, Joan Morris argued I that the great mitered abbesses of the Middle Ages were treated as equivalent to bishops. In partial support of her contention, she quoted a capitulum from the Mozarabic Liber ordinum that reads “Ordo ad ordin- andam abbatissam.”1 Despite this intriguing find, there seems to have been no further research into the ordination of women in the early Middle Ages. A survey of early medieval documents demonstrates, however, how wide- spread was the use of the terms ordinatio, ordinare, and ordo in regard to the commissioning of women’s ministries during that era. The terms are used not only to describe the installation of abbesses, as Morris noted, but also in regard to deaconesses and to holy women, that is, virgins, widows, GARY MACY is professor in the department of theology and religious studies at the University of San Diego, California. He received his Ph.D. in 1978 from the University of Cambridge. Besides a history of the Eucharist entitled The Banquet’s Wisdom: A Short History of the Theologies of the Lord’s Supper (Paulist, 1992), he recently published Treasures from the Storehouse: Essays on the Medieval Eucharist (Liturgical, 1999).

  • The Deacon: Icon of Jesus Christ the Servant Pastoral Letter
    THE DEACON: ICON OF JESUS CHRIST THE SERVANT PASTORAL LETTER OF THE BISHOP OF MARQUETTE MOST REVEREND ALEXANDER K. SAMPLE TO THE PRIESTS, DEACONS, AND FAITHFUL OF THE DIOCESE PREFACE The restoration of the diaconate as a permanent ministry in the Latin Church following the Second Vatican Council is seen as “a great and visible sign of the working of the Holy Spirit.”1 Over the years much has been written about the essential identity, role and ministry of the permanent deacon in the life of the Church. There is no doubt that the restoration of the permanent diaconate has been a source of tremendous grace and blessings for the Church. Alongside such blessings, however, there have been some misunderstandings and misinterpretations of the essential identity of the permanent deacon that have led to some confusion regarding his ministerial role in the life and mission of the Church. The Diocese of Marquette has certainly been the grateful beneficiary of the restoration of this ministry since the ordination of our first permanent deacon in 1981. Since that time this local Church has been richly blessed by the witness and sacrifices of the fine men who have received ordination as permanent deacons. We give thanks to God for them and their ministry. Our diocese, however, has not been spared some of the same misunderstandings, misinterpretations and confusion that have been evident in the universal Church. To help study and address some of these important issues surrounding the life and ministry of the permanent deacon in the Diocese of Marquette, a Diaconate Study Committee was formed in January of 2008 to lay out a vision for the future direction of the permanent diaconate in the Diocese of Marquette.
