The Central Deanery welcomes you to the 52nd Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho. This year’s theme is Episcopalians on the Way. The convention will be held at the Burley Inn and Convention Center. Convention dates are November 8-10, 2019. The convention packet and registration information are available online at www.episcopalidaho.org/events/diocesan-convention.html All clergy, wardens, and delegates will need to print and bring them to their Deanery Pre-Convention meeting. They will not be provided at registration. Our convention mission project will benefit Gilbert’s Pantry, the emergency relief food and hygiene supply for students at the College of Southern Idaho. According to a Harvard University study, up to half of the nation’s college students go without meals. Research shows that the problem transcends geography as well as the divides between community colleges and four-year colleges, private and public, elite and non- elite. At community colleges like CSI, students tend to be older and more likely to be supporting other family members, extending the struggle beyond the student. Gilbert’s Pantry is part of the Office of Student Affairs at CSI, and the students’ requests for assistance are kept private. Enclosed is a flyer that lists the non- perishable food items and personal toiletries we will be collecting. We ask that you provide this information to your parishes. Please bring a banner and stand from your parish. At the service on Sunday morning, all the congregational banners will be processed in. Be sure you have appointed someone to carry the banner and stand who is physically able. Enclosed is information about room rates, delegate checklist, and for those who will not be attending the convention meetings check out the Southern Idaho Tourism website! https://visitsouthidaho.com/top-10-things-to-do-in-burley/ This list will get you started with some great things to do. We look forward to seeing you in Burley!

Jay Sidebotham to help us renew our collective and personal strengths as learning and praying disciples of Jesus Christ. A reinvigoration of our study of Holy Scripture and our personal and community prayer life, as Presiding Bishop Curry told us at the 2017 Diocesan Convention, are the foundational disciplines needed for followers of Jesus. Clearly, these practices could help us identify and articulate our core beliefs in order to enter the public sphere with conviction and confidence. Unless we can speak more authentically as members of the Jesus Movement, we will remain intimidated, and thereby absent, from public discourse on important civic and social justice issues. With Fr. Jay’s experience in the renewal of congregational spirituality as a pathway toward vitality of witness and mission, I invite us to open ourselves up to a deeper experience of the Scriptures of Jesus of Nazareth as well as a recommitment to a regular practice of prayer. Bishop Brian The Rev. Jay Sidebotham The Rev. Jay Sidebotham is the Director of RenewalWorks. He also now serves as associate rector at St. James’ Parish in Wilmington, NC. Sidebotham comes to this work out of his experience as rector of Church of the Holy Spirit in Lake Forest, IL, where he led the congregation through a period of sustained focus on spiritual growth and renewal. Before coming to Church of the Holy Spirit, he served at St. Bart’s, New York City; St. Columba’s, Washington, DC; St. Luke’s, Durham, NC; and St. Martin’s, Providence, RI. He is well known for his cartoons about church life and his animation work on the television series Schoolhouse Rock!

    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

Course Year JS TSM,SH SS TSM, SH Optional/Mandatory Optional Semester(s) MT Contact hour per week 2 contact hours/week; total 22 hours Private study (hours per week) 100 hours Lecturer(s) Justin Doherty ECTs 10 ECTs Aims This module surveys Chekhov’s writing in both short-story and dramatic forms. While some texts from Chekhov’s early period will be included, the focus will be on works from the later 1880s, 1890s and early 1900s. Attention will be given to the social and historical circumstances which form the background to Chekhov’s writings, as well as to major influences on Chekhov’s writing, notably Tolstoy. In examining Chekhov’s major plays, we will also look closely at Chekhov’s involvement with the Moscow Arts Theatre and theatre director and actor Konstantin Stanislavsky. Set texts will include: 1. Short stories ‘Rural’ narratives: ‘Steppe’, ‘Peasants’, ‘In the Ravine’ Psychological stories: ‘Ward No 6’, ‘The Black Monk’, ‘The Bishop’, ‘A Boring Story’ Stories of gentry life: ‘House with a Mezzanine’, ‘The Duel’, ‘Ariadna’ Provincial stories: ‘My Life’, ‘Ionych’, ‘Anna on the Neck’, ‘The Man in a Case’ Late ‘optimistic’ stories: ‘The Lady with the Dog’, ‘The Bride’ 2. Plays The Seagull Uncle Vanya Three Sisters The Cherry Orchard Note on editions: for the stories, I recommend the Everyman edition, The Chekhov Omnibus: Selected Stories, tr.

  • Divine Compassion in the Short Stories of Anton Chekhov
    Ecclesial Existence, Divine Compassion And Human Healing In The Short Stories of Anton Chekhov Presented at Divine Compassion and Women of the Church: Theological Perspectives conference at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology on June 21, 2014 I. Introduction For some of you, the title of this presentation may seem more than a bit off topic. Nevertheless, I have chosen to share with you three short stories by Anton Chekhov for two reasons. First, many of the stories of Chekhov reveal divine compassion in the unfolding of the delicate, complex and intimate relationships of persons. Second, given the stories I will be sharing, virtually every character within every relationship expresses its unique mode of existence – to borrow a phrase many will readily associate with Saint Maximus The Confessor (τρόπος ύπάρξεως) - that explicitly or implicitly draws attention to the Church’s own mode of existence. With care and sensitivity Chekhov unveils aspects of the lives of men, women and the Church that make his stories relevant to the topic of divine compassion and the healing of the person. II. Chekhov’s Characters And The Orthodox Church Through Chekhov’s characters the reader encounters a writer who neither rejects the Scriptures nor turns from the teachings of the Orthodox Church. His stories often show more than a casual or superficial interest in the liturgical calendar through which the Church and its ethos impacts the lives and relationships of the characters. The feasts of the Incarnation and Resurrection together with the cycles of fasting and feasting as well as the quoting and paraphrasing of Scripture and hagiographies provide the context in which his characters uniquely reveal their relationships to God, neighbor and themselves.
