Washington. The space is more accessible for clients, staff, and volunteers and will enable us to care for up to 500 more people each year. • Despite the disruption in service due to the move, we provided 13,875 therapy sessions, about the same number as in 2006. In addition, the client fee stayed at the 2006 level of $44 per session. • As part of our quality tracking processes, we performed a Client Satisfaction Survey. Results were consistent with previous surveys and showed 80% of clients are Extremely Satisfied and 14% are Very Satisfied with the services they receive. 100% would recommend Cathedral Counseling Center to a friend or family member.

  • A Message from the Rector the Rev. Marisa Thompson
    Pentecost-Ordinary Time 2019 A Message from the Rector The Rev. Marisa Thompson On May 19, 2018, Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, made an international splash at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with his sermon, The Power of Love. His message to the betrothed couple, those present at Windsor Castle, and all who would come to hear or read the sermon, was just as his title indicates: there is great power in love and relying on it as a foundation is who we are called to be as beloved people of God. This message is meant to be more than just a platitude but rather a way of life. Yet while it may seem simple, to truly embrace the way of love means to engage deeply and intentionally in creating transformative relationships and real change. It is not just about inviting different people or strangers to sit at the same table; rather, it is about being an active revolutionary against an unjust and unchristian culture. It is about knowing love as a commitment in addition to a sentiment. There are many good, faithful people who recognize a call to service and know that the world can be a better place, yet we, myself included, hesitate to take on deep change. I believe that people who want to grow in their faith want to do more than just blindly go to church each Sunday. They want to understand their power and help those who have less. Yet to do so means taking a big risk.

    INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST St. Mary’s Oratory FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING Introit: Apocalypse 5: 12 & 1: 6. The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor. To Him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Ps. 71, 1. Give to the King Thy judgment, O God: and to the King’s Son Thy justice. V. Glory be. The Lamb. Collect: Almighty and eternal God, Who hast wished to restore all things through Thy beloved Son, the King of the universe, graciously grant that all the families of nations, Sunday, separated by the wound of sin, may be subjected to His most gentle rule. Who with Thee October 25, liveth. 2020 Epistle: Colossians 1: 12-20. Brethren, we give thanks to God the Father, Who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from to the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins; Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature; for in Him were all things created in Sunday, heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, November 1, or powers: all things were created by Him and in Him. And He is before all, and by Him all 2020 things consist. And He is the head of the body, the Church, Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He may hold the primacy: because in Him, it hath well pleased the Father, that all fullness should dwell; and through Him to reconcile all things unto Himself, making peace through the blood of His cross, both as to the things that are on earth, and the things that are in heaven, in Christ Jesus Our Lord.

  • Camp All Saints
    FOR RELEASE March 18, 2016 MANAGING THE FLOOD WATERS Summer Camp as Christian Education at Camp All Saints Pottsboro, Texas | The Episcopal Church BY Jacob Sorenson A BRIEF PORTRAIT completed as part of Research through Princeton Theological Seminary Funded by the Lilly Endowment, Inc. RECOMMENDED CITATION: Sorenson, Jacob, “Managing the Flood Waters: The Summer Camp Experience at Camp All Saints,” The Confirmation Project, Princeton Theological Seminary, March 18, 2016. http://theconfirmationproject.com/gallery/allsaints ABOUT THIS REPORT ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to a national survey, researchers from The Confirmation Project visited congregations, using the research method of Portraiture to understand how confirmation and equivalent practices are practiced in congregations. Portraiture is a method of inquiry that shares some of the features of other qualitative research methods, such as ethnography, case study, and narrative, but it is distinctive in its blending of aesthetics and empiricism in an effort to capture the complexity, dynamics, and subtlety of human experience and organizational life. Portraiture first came to prominence in the works of Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot. This Portrait is one from a gallery that can be found at www.theconfirmationproject.com/gallery.

    a l l s a i n t s b h m . o r g S e p t e m b e r 3 , 2 0 2 0 PThAe RISHIONER A publication from All Saints Episcopal Church Reclaim Church at Home by The Rev. Mary Bea Sullivan Jesus’ earliest followers gathered in homes to proclaim the good news of his salvation, share stories of his life, break bread, and bolster one another in the faith. We find examples of house church gatherings in Acts 12 and 16, Romans 16, Colossians 4, and the book of Philemon. These first followers of The Way met in homes because it could be dangerous for them to openly proclaim their faith, and they were not recognized as a state-sanctioned religion therefore unable to own property.[1] We might conjure notions of meals in middle class homes such as we know, but that was not the case. There was no middle class. Most people lived in small, cramped, multi-story apartments.[2] In one instance, we learn of Eutychus falling asleep and out the window, while Paul preached well into the night (Acts 19:9). This probably happened in one of those tiny apartments. What was it like in those early house churches? There must have been some element of fear and excitement. Disagreements were plenty. We know the Word of God spread from house to house—fueled by the flames of Pentecost and the love and grace of Jesus Christ. We owe a great debt to those early worshippers, because they paved the way for us today.

  • Film Trailers That Pass the Bechdel Test!
    MEDIA RELEASE Monday 29 February New release – film trailers that pass the Bechdel test! To celebrate the Oscars, the Sydney Opera House’s All About Women festival, which returns on Sunday 6 March, has released three trailers for blockbusters you won’t be seeing this summer – films that would pass the Bechdel test. Click here to see the trailers. The Bechdel test – named for American cartoonist Alison Bechdel – judges just how much Hollywood values female characters by applying simple criteria: does the film feature at least two women, who talk to each other about something other than a man? The All About Women trailers – for a fictional rom-com, thriller and horror film – star Australian actors Celeste Barber (How To Behave, All Saints) and Adele Vuko (Activewear, Skit Box) and feature lesbians who don’t turn for the straight man, a woman who is allowed to focus on her career, and a man in a supporting role.. Written and directed by Florence Noble (who collaborated with Bondi Hipster’s Nick Boshier on the Emmy Award- winning comedy #7DaysLater and Meanwhile, On Earth), the series was produced by Michelle Hardy (#7DaysLater, Back Seat Drivers) for Sydney creative collective Paper Moose. The project was inspired – and blessed - by Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner’s popular Lenny Letter, in which Brooklyn-based writer Kira Garcia published a series of “Realistic Female Driven Film Treatments” that would definitely pass the Bechdel test. Sydney Opera House Head of International Development and co-curator of All About Women Danielle Harvey says: “We continue to create online content that responds to the themes and issues that our live events At the Sydney Opera House, explore.

  • Saints Alive Fall 2019 Special 125Th Anniversary Issue
    SAINTS a special edition looking at the rich historyAlive! of All Saints Brookline Volume 21, Number 4 Fall 2019 1 Rector’s Reflection Have you seen the Hereford stone? When our church building was under construction, Daniel Dulaney Addison, our first rector, visited Hereford, England, where he was given a stone from the original Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Ethelbert, built in the 11th century. It was placed in the outer wall of the Resting Chapel, where it remains. It’s a remarkable and tangible reminder of the incredible long story we are a part of: the story of God’s never-failing love. A story that continues to be lived out across the globe. As I live and work in this community, I am constantly humbled and amazed by the works of faith undertaken by this community, both now and in the past. I am heartened by the rock-solid faith of women and men throughout time who live mostly ordinary lives of joy and tragedy, of faith and struggle; who, in all kinds of circumstances, gather together to break bread, share the cup, and move forward in hope. As we pause this year to look back with gratitude at our first 125 years, and imagine with hope what our next 125 might be, I give thanks for all that has brought us safely thus far, and for you who are even now writing the next chapter of the story. May we be found to be as durable, and as faithful as our Hereford stone. In peace, Richard+ From the Editor Marianne Evett In 1894, a group of 24 Episcopalians began meeting to worship at the Beaconsfield Casino in northwest Brookline and petitioned Bishop Lawrence to start a church.
