Most of you have probably heard that I have announced my retirement from 302/368-8774 active ministry as of July 1. Big decision. But one Cara www.newark-umc.org Lee and I embrace with joy. [email protected] My retirement means a change in the pastoral leadership here at NUMC. This is along with Rev. George Tigh’s Lay Leaders: decision that it is time for him to step away from his staff Stacey Altemus, Karen DeMonte, position (see his letter on page 3). Danny Fisher, Richard Gaines With both George and me transitioning out of our roles at STAFF NUMC, some may be wondering if this is too much change at once. I assure you it is not. Instead, I ask you Senior Pastor to look and see what God is doing in our midst. John B. Rev. Dr. David M. Palmer ext. 214 Cobb, Jr.* says: “God’s work is always creative and always transformative; and that wherever creative Pastor of Congregational Care Rev. George Ayer Tigh ext. 212 transformation is occurring, God is there.“ There is creative transformation happening right now at Campus Pastor Newark UMC. God is here! This is also the Easter Rev. Mary K. Haggard ext. 216 message. Assistant Campus Pastor But, not only is God here, God is at work even when it Rev. Ward Mesick looks like death has won. Keep an eye out for signs of God’s transformative work. Celebrate God’s creativity.

In 2008, in my 40th year of pastoral ministry, the debilitating effects of Parkinson’s Disease had become evident to the degree that I was unable to provide full-time pastoral ministry. I applied, and was subsequently approved, for disability leave. In May of that year, my wife Cheryl and I moved from Pennsylvania to Newark. I expected the search for a church home would require that I kick quite a few tires. That is, I expected a long process of thoughtful inquiry and evaluation would precede the selection of a new church home. Newark UMC was just the second church on my list. To my surprise and delight, I knew on my first visit that my search had ended. A heritage of community service, a lovely, well-maintained, and yet not ostentatious sanctuary, uplifting music, an unapologetic affirmation of inclusiveness, and perhaps most appealing, a pastor who gave evidence that he was committed to life-long learning and to the joyous work of converting the large bills of his vigorous study into currency the one who sat in the pew could understand and use constructively in his/her own faith journey. A preacher has been defined as one who would walk a mile to preach a sermon, but wouldn’t cross a street to hear one. The description does not fit me. Not that I ever walked to Sunday worship, but on a few occasions I did ride my bicycle the 4 or so miles from our house to church. Dr. Palmer is most surely worth the effort. Once, the church was holding a Ministry Sunday. Booths were set up in Heritage Hall providing explanatory brochures and exhibiting pictures aimed at inducing those present to consider a stint serving in one volunteer capacity or another. One booth apparently knew I was in the building. More than brochures and photos, this booth displayed a large plate of rich chocolatey brownies. I reached for one. I did not know that the plate was attached to Carol Thompson’s hand. Carol is quicker than me. She informed me, however, that I would be awarded a brownie if I would simply volunteer to make hospital calls as needed each Wednesday. I think I at least understood how Esau felt when his brother Jacob withheld a bowl of porridge until Esau conceded to Jacob the family birthright. I am grateful to report that my visits were well-received. So much so, that when it became expedient to redefine the Assistant Pastor’s job description into a part-time position, the offer was extended to me and I was delighted and honored to accept it. I regret to say that an assortment of personal health concerns combined with the pending arrival of my 70th birthday in March persuade me that it is time for me to step away from my staff IN THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH THE LIFE OF IN THE position on the ministry team. Although I served in that capacity for less than three years, I will treasure the memories of my tenure. During that time, a number of you have had to pass through deep waters. You trusted me to accompany you, and your affirmation of my endeavors to provide pastoral support mean more to me than I am able to express. I have requested of Dr. Palmer and Dick Haberkost (SPRC Chairman) to designate Sunday, April 3rd as my last day on staff. I am not departing from Newark UMC, but I will have to throttle back on the time and energy I expend. I expect to remain engaged at some level in volunteer service to the congregation. Perhaps we’ll see each other in Heritage Hall some Sunday; maybe we can share a brownie. Peace and love, George Tigh 3 Pedals, Pipes & Pizza: March 12 The Delaware Chapter of the American Guild of Organists will be sponsoring Pedals, Pipes & Pizza, a Discover the Organ event for children and youth.

  • Claire Stewart THESIS FINAL 131120
    The impact of the introduction of girl choristers at Salisbury and its influence on other British Anglican cathedral choirs Claire Elizabeth Stewart University of London PhD November 2020 'I, Claire Elizabeth Stewart confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis.' Claire E Stewart, November 2020 1 To the Choristers, Adult Singers and Organist at Sandringham who show great commitment every week in rehearsals and services. You enrich my life and bring me joy in all our musical offerings together. 2 Claire E Stewart, November 2020 Abstract Abstract The aim of this thesis has been to examine the effects that the introduction of girl choristers has had on the all-male tradition that hitherto characterised the Anglican cathedral choir. Arguably, the future of any tradition relies on the success of the present generation for its survival and continuity. That should not imply that the tradition remains identical as in past generations, but rather that a tradition should be able to respond and, if necessary, embrace new ideas. The thesis provides an historical context for the widely reported and seemingly ground-breaking initiative at Salisbury Cathedral in the early 1990s. Through the analysis of contemporary texts, related literature, interviews, a small-scale survey and three illustrative in-depth case studies (Salisbury, Lincoln and Lichfield), the thesis reviews the background to this choral development and explores the immediate and subsequent impact across the sector. The initiative at Salisbury was not (and in some instances is still not) without controversy and so opportunity is taken in the text to rehearse examples of these conflicting views by drawing on contemporary commentary, in part by using the lens of Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT).

Though some studies exist that discuss the physiological differences between boy and girl choristers and perceptions of their sounds, no study examines the structure of the choirs themselves. Significant changes had to be made to the music departments, personnel, and cultural ideas of cathedral music to make way for a separate line of choristers parallel to the traditional line of boy trebles and lay clerks.
