  • A Short History of ECMN the Last Three Bishops of the Episcopal
    A Short History of ECMN The history of the ECMN begins in the early 1800’s in the wilderness and is tied to the Dakota and Ojibwe nations. Our first bishop, The Rt. Rev. Henry B. Whipple, had a 42 year-tenure and was known as a strong advocate for indigenous peoples through conflicted and troubled times. Minnesota became a state in 1858, and we have since had eight bishops and changed our name from the Diocese of Minnesota to t he Episcopal Church in Minnesota (ECMN) to signify a new identity as a network of faith communities. In the mid-to-late 1800s, three schools, including a seminary, were founded, as was the Sheltering Arms Foundation for homeless children. We ordained our first woman priest in 1974. To better serve remote areas, a lay-clergy Team Ministry model was adopted in the 1940s and continues today in urban areas as well. Our history includes multiple forms of outreach, including support for youth through camps, retreats, and mission trips. For more go to https://episcopalmn.org/a-brief-history-of-ecmn. The Last Three Bishops of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota Robert Marshall Anderson was consecrated the seventh bishop of Minnesota in 1978 and served until 1993. Among his many accomplishments, the Episcopal House of Prayer was designed and built at the invitation of the Benedictine Monks from St. John’s University on the University campus in Collegeville, Minnesota. This spirit-filled facility for meetings and spiritual retreats is still in use today. At the time of his death in 2011, then-Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said of Bishop Anderson that he “was a leader in developing effective responses to sexual misconduct," and "was a tireless advocate for Native Americans throughout his ministry.” James Louis Jelinek was consecrated the eighth Bishop of Minnesota in 1993 at the Abbey Church at St.

  • Cathedral Building in America: a Missionary Cathedral in Utah by the Very Reverend Gary Kriss, D.D
    Cathedral Building in America: A Missionary Cathedral in Utah By the Very Reverend Gary Kriss, D.D. I “THERE IS NO fixed type yet of the American cathedral.”1 Bishop Daniel S. Tuttle’s comment in 1906 remains true today as an assessment of the progress of the cathedral movement in the Episcopal Church. In organization, mission, and architecture, American cathedrals represent a kaleidoscope of styles quite unlike the settled cathedral system which is found in England. It may fairly be said that, in the development of the Episcopal Church, cathedrals were an afterthought. The first cathedrals appear on the scene in the early 1860s, more than two hundred fifty years after Anglicans established their first parish on American soil. So far removed from the experience of English cathedral life, it is remarkable that cathedrals emerged at all—unless it might be suggested that by the very nature of episcopacy, cathedrals are integral to it. “I think no Episcopate complete that has not a center, the cathedral, as well as a circumference, the Diocese.”2 The year was 1869. William Croswell Doane, first Bishop of Albany, New York, was setting forth his vision for his Diocese. Just two years earlier, Bishop Tuttle had set out from his parish in Morris, New York, (which, coincidentally, was in that section of New York State which became part of the new Diocese of Albany in 1868) to begin his work as Missionary Bishop of Montana with Idaho and Utah. In 1869, Bishop Tuttle established his permanent home in Salt Lake City, and within two years, quite without any conscious purpose or design on his part, he had a cathedral.

Minnesota Bounties On Dakota Men During The .SU .-Dakota War Abstract The .SU .-Dakota War was one of the formative events in Minnesota history, and despite the passage of time, it still stirs up powerful emotions among descendants of the Dakota and white settlers who experienced this tragedy. Hundreds of people lost their lives in just over a month of fighting in 1862. By the time the year was over, thirty-eight Dakota men had been hanged in the largest mass execution in United States history. Not long afterwards, the United States abrogated its treaties with the Dakota, confiscated their reservations along the Minnesota River, and forced most of the Dakota to remove westward. While dozens of books and articles have been written about these events, scholars have largely ignored an important legal development that occurred in Minnesota during the following summer. The inneM sota Adjutant General, at the direction of Minnesota Governors Alexander Ramsey and Henry Swift, issued a series of orders offering rewards for the killing of Dakota men found within the State.

  • First Sunday After Pentecost Sunday, June 11, 2017 the Collect: Almighty and Everlasting God, You Have Given to Us Your Servants
    First Sunday after Pentecost Sunday, June 11, 2017 The Collect: Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Old Testament: Genesis 1:1-2:4a read from the New Revised Standard Version Bible Anglicised In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. And God said, ‘Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.’ So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. And God said, ‘Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.’ And it was so.

  • Protestant Missions in the Northwest
    PROTESTANT MISSIONS IN THE NORTHWEST, BY REV. STEPHEN R. RIGGS, D. D. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. The writer of this paper has gathered the facts in regard to the Mission of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, among the Ojibwas, from the Missionary Herald mainly, having received some suggestions from Mrs. Leon- ard H. Wheeler. The materials for the history of the American Board's work among the Sioux have been within my own knowledge. For the short account of the Swiss Mission I am indebted, mainly, to Rev. S. W. Pond. Dr. Alfred Brunson, in the "Western Pioneer," and Judge Gale's "Upper Missis- sippi," have furnished the materials for the Methodist Episcopal Mission among the Sioux and Ojibwas. For the account of the work of the American Missionary Association among the Ojibwas, I am indebted to Dr. Strieby and Mr. S. G. Wright. And lastly, I am quite obliged to Bishop H. B. Whipple for the communications of Rev. E. S. Peake and himself. This brief history of the Missions of the Protes- tant Episcopal Church among the Ojibwas and Sioux, is mainly in the form which they furnished. S. R. RIGGS. BELOIT, Wis., May, 1880. If the question be asked, why, in the first settlement of this country, Protestant Missions were not pushed westward among the Aborigines, as Catholic Missions were, the answer is two- fold. First. The pilgrims of New England came for the purpose of making homes, with freedom to worship God, for themselves and their 118 MINNESOTA HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS. children. Trading with the Indians appears to have been an after-thought, and efforts to convert them to the reli- gion of Christ were left to be made by individuals, as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), 12(b)(7), 12(h)(2), and 19.

The Diocese believes that the briefs filed by the various Defendant groupings establish that the First Amended Complaint as against the Diocese and all Defendants should be dismissed with prejudice.

    French Africans in Ojibwe Country: Negotiating Marriage, Identity and Race, 1780-1890 by Mattie Marie Harper A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Thomas Biolsi, Chair Professor Beth Piatote Professor Brian DeLay Fall 2012 Abstract French Africans in Ojibwe Country: Negotiating Marriage, Identity and Race, 1780-1890 by Mattie Marie Harper Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Thomas Biolsi, Chair This project explores changing constructions of identity for African Americans and Native Americans in the Western Great Lakes region from 1780-1890. I focus on the Bonga family, whose lineage in the region begins with the French-speaking African slaves Jean and Marie Jeanne Bonga. Their descendants intermarried with Ojibwe Indians, worked in the fur trade, participated in treaty negotiations between the Ojibwe and the U.S. government, and struggled to preserve Ojibwe autonomy in the face of assimilation policies. French Africans in Ojibwe Country analyzes how the Bongas’ racial identities changed over four generations. Enmeshed in a network of Ojibwe kin ties, yet differentiated from their Ojibwe kin by their status as a family of mixed-ancestry fur traders, the Bongas gained political and social influence in both Indian and white circles. In addition to their social and legal status as Indians, at various times the labels “white,” “negro,” “half- breed,” and “mulatto” were also applied to them.

  • Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the Diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902
    Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican clergy in the Diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902 The ‘Reformed Catholic Church of Hawai’i’ began with the consecration of the first bishop of Honolulu, Thomas Nettleship STALEY in 1861. In 1872 the diocese became the Anglican church of Hawai’i, under his successor Alfred WILLIS the second bishop of Honolulu. On WILLIS’s resignation in 1902, the see became a missionary district within the Episcopal Church of the United States of America, and in 1969 the diocese of Hawai'i. This biographical directory lists over 50 clergy who passed through Honolulu in the first forty years of Anglican church life. Few priests were in the diocese of Honolulu more than a year or two. Many biographies reveal visionary hopes and bitter disappointments. Several lives are shadowy to the point of invisibility. At the end of the sections in the biographies, bracketed numbers indicate the sources of preceding information. The Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the South Pacific (which includes some 1,650 priests) may be found on the Kinder library website, in Auckland New Zealand. These bracketed numbers are there given bibliographical substance in a document accompanying the biographical directory. The compiler points out that this directory has been researched and compiled without funding. I am very grateful to the hundreds of correspondents and agencies who have voluntarily assisted me on this work since the early 1990s. The compiler welcomes corrections and additions sent to [email protected]. Such will be incorporated in the master-copy held in Wellington New Zealand, and in due course in the online version of this directory with Project Canterbury.
