  • 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.

I can only imagine what went through their minds when their oldest son told them he was going to study history for a living. Despite this impractical decision, they have been extremely supportive, both emotionally and at times, financially. Aimee Griffith was present in my life for most of my graduate school career. She was frequently the emotional crutch I leaned upon when I studied for my comprehensive exams and when I faced the daunting task of writing the first words of this dissertation.

  • Chapter 19: Relationships with Cultural Communities Native Americans
    Chapter 19: Relationships with Cultural Communities Native Americans As described in chapter 1, at the end of the Third Seminole War in 1858, some 100 to 150 Indians remained in South Florida. The U.S. signed no peace treaty with the remaining Seminoles and merely suffered them to remain in the area without accord- ing them any reservation land. For some decades, the Seminoles were able to range relatively freely in South Florida.875 They typically established temporary camps on hammocks, moving seasonally to the pinelands to hunt and deeper into the Everglades to fish and take birds for plumes and alligators for hides. Mostly they plied their cy- press canoes on the lakes, rivers, and sloughs, as well as the canals made by prehistoric Indians. In addition to the food they got from hunting and fishing, the Indians raised hogs, corn, pumpkins, sugar cane, and other crops. In the winter and early spring, groups of Seminoles brought alligator hides, plumes, and pelts to trading posts at Fort Myers, Everglades City, Chokoloskee, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Bill Brown’s store. Brown’s store was for a time located at the site of present-day Immokalee and later at Boat Landing, 30 miles to the southeast in the Big Cypress Swamp. The Seminoles largely avoided any other contact with whites, seeking to maintain their traditional lives on land that no one else wanted.
