St. Paul’s front doors open upon the cenotaph. On days like Nov. 11, the Grand Parade is Halifax’s busiest public space. This year, well more than a thousand people packed into the square to hear memorials of the dead, 100 years after World War I ended. As solemn poems and prayers were read at 11 a.m. by city dignitaries, veterans, and youth, can- nons on Citadel Hill (about a quarter- mile away) loudly saluted the hour of armistice. They also heard of death, of sacrifice, of post-traumatic stress dis- order, and of loss — but they did not hear, as St. Paul’s rector told the church before the ceremony, glorification of war. That is not a part of the Remem- brance Day program. “This is a day of remembrance. Let us give thanks for those who offered their lives in the hope that their sacri- fice in a short war would create a long peace,” the Rev.

  • Divine Glory
    Divine Glory Welcome We are so happy you are with us. Please add your voice and heart to the prayers. Help others find a place near you, and greet the person next to you as we prepare to worship together. Please stand and sit as you are able. Children welcome! Nursery care for infants and toddlers 3 and under in the blue room downstairs. Godly Play for children 4 to 12 is in the raspberry room. For pastoral concerns, please contact Susan McEvoy (754-7079). To make changes or additions to the prayer list or to put an announcement in the bulletin contact Diana Anderson (754-2113). Our Service Today is March 3, the Last Sunday after the Epiphany. Our gospel is the story of Jesus’ transfiguration. It is a story richly woven with themes and symbols drawn from Israel’s past and its hopes for the future. Moses and Elijah represent the law and the prophets; while Jesus is praying, divine glory is reflected in his human person. Today is also our Companion Links Sunday. This year we are taking part in a fresh expressions-influenced liturgy from the Diocese of Leicester, England called “Campfire Communion.” In 2015 the Bishop of each of the five Links Dioceses discerned that one Sunday a year would be dedicated to experiencing a typical worship service from one of our dioceses each year. The Diocese of Wyoming is privileged to be linked with the Diocese of Leicester; the Trichy-Tanjore Diocese, Church of South India; Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania; and the Diocese of Kiteto, Tanzania.

  • "Lambeth 1998
    Lambeth 1998 - the Death of Anglicanism? Mark Burkill The outcome of the 1998 Lambeth Conference was probably beyond the best expectations of Evangelicals. We are so used to depressing, vague statements emerging from the higher reaches of our denomination that the determinedly biblical nature of some key resolutions is a considerable shock and a cause for much rejoicing. In the months since the Conference many reports and commentaries have been made in the church press and at other meetings. Already there are signs of attempts to sideline and ignore what was said there. Naturally the Lambeth resolutions have no binding force on individual provinces like the Church of England, but their moral force can be used to sound the trumpet of the gospel and biblical morality. Yet in working to make Lambeth 1998 a milestone for biblical Christianity we should not make unwarranted assumptions about the future shape of the Anglican Communion based on a distorted view of the past. In that danger lies the point of this article. The title 'Lambeth 1998- the Death of Anglicanism' may sound unduly pessimistic in the light of the resolutions that came out of the Conference, yet it should not be seen in that way. The title has been carefully phrased. It is not prophesying the death of the gospel nor is it prophesying the death of the Church of England. What it may be prophesying is the death of what is called 'Anglicanism'. And that, when we understand it properly, could be a very welcome development. We may begin by outlining the development of this phenomenon called 'Anglicanism', and along with it the story of the origins of the Lambeth Conference.
