  • Same-Sex Marriage and Anglican Theology: a View from the Traditionalists
    ATR/93:1 Same-Sex Marriage and Anglican Theology: A View from the Traditionalists John E. Goldingay, Grant R. LeMarquand, George R. Sumner, Daniel A. Westberg* Part 1 The Social and Ecclesiastical Context Modern Western societies in North America and Europe are in- creasingly moving toward the acceptance of same-sex relationships. At first people were challenged to accept lesbian and gay partnerships on a political and legal level; but recently and more problematically, Christians are being asked to accept a redefinition of the institution of marriage itself. No longer is marriage to be regarded essentially as a bond between one man and one woman, but as a sexual relationship in which two men or two women may also be committed to each other. They ought to be recognized to have the corresponding rights of sup- port, parenting, adopting, inheriting, divorcing, and the other privi- leges and obligations that spouses in a marriage expect. We recognize that a remarkable shift in public opinion has oc- curred in the last thirty years or so in the aftermath of the so-called sexual revolution. Several European countries, including traditionally Catholic societies such as Spain, as well as a number of American states have either passed legislation to allow same-sex marriage, or have had their courts rule that restricting marriage to heterosexuals is unjust. It is not at all surprising that many Christians who live in areas where these social developments have progressed furthest should * John E. Goldingay is the David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament at the School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California.

You are welcome to unmute yourself when you are invited to offer your intercessions, then remember to mute it again when you have completed your prayer. We will always read the Gospel appointed for the day so that we can read and meditate on Jesus' words and teaching. MORNING PRAYER FROM THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER April 2, 2020 The Fifth Thursday in Lent JAMES LLOYD BRECK, Priest, Educator, and Missionary, 1876 Opening Sentence The Officiant says Lent Jesus said,” If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” Mark 8:34 Confession of Sin BCP 79 Officiant Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. A period of silence is kept. All say together Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. The Bishop says Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life.

  • 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.

The keynote speaker was the Rev’d Laurel Johnston, Stewardship Officer for the Episcopal Church. She spoke about understanding stewardship in its widest and most fundamental sense as simply “about being grateful, responsible stewards of the gifts we receive from God.” This perspective was not new to me; nor—I hazard to say—to the other members of our parish who were there.

Please share your vision: The structures of the ACNA and the Diocese of Pittsburgh should be organized to support and guide the work of discipleship. Ideally, these structures will continue to provide governance and increasing opportunities for learning and collaboration. Over the last eleven years, the work that was officially begun in Bedford in 2009 has blossomed, as relationships between dioceses, provinces, and other ministry partners have developed and grown. The focus of reaching a world that is broken and in pain with the love of Christ is as urgent as it has ever been. While I am a relatively new member of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, I have watched closely over the years as this diocese took a brave stand for our faith. It was the stand we were taking in Illinois, and from those early days to now, I have prayed and rooted for Pittsburgh. When I was asked to accept a nomination for Standing Committee, I did so gladly, grateful for the possibility of serving the diocese that has been an inspiration to me and so many.
