Catherine Roskam REPORT TO THE 76TH GENERAL CONVENTION 185 Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music RESPONSES TO RESOLUTIONS RESOLUTION D047 POST-ABORTION HEALING SERVICE Resolved, That the 74th General Convention direct the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music to develop liturgies supplemental to “Burial of a Child” (Enriching Our Worship 2) that respond to the pastoral needs of women and men who have experienced miscarriage, abortion, or other trauma in the childbearing or childbirth process, for presentation to and consideration by the 75th General Convention. In responding to this Resolution, the SCLM has recognized the pastoral and long-overdue need for liturgies and prayers that minister to people suffering from reproductive loss and grief. The SCLM established a Reproductive Loss Subcommittee which gathered a group of ten liturgists from around the country at a meeting in Collegeville, Minnesota, in April 2005. At that meeting the liturgists prayed, sang, spent time in silence and reflection, told our stories and named the pastoral needs to which these liturgies must speak and minister. The meeting produced a draft text that articulated these needs and models of liturgies and prayers. In July 2005 the document was given to a writer who crafted original prayers and liturgies building upon the working group’s document. In September 2005 the drafts of these prayers and liturgies were widely circulated to stakeholders (leadership in National Organization of Episcopalians for Life (NOEL), Episcopal Women’s Caucus, Hospital Chaplaincy network, Missioners for Ethnic Congregational Development, the full SCLM and selected individuals). Following the 75th General Convention, the draft of prayers and liturgies, along with formal reviews from the previous triennium, were sent to a new writer for edits and rewrites. Over the course of the triennium the document enjoyed four cycles of revision. In late summer 2008, a final draft was circulated for review to: five bishops, members of the Episcopal Hospital Chaplaincy network, Anglicans for Life (formerly NOEL), the Standing Commission on Domestic Mission and Evangelism, the Executive Council Committee on the Status of Women and several individual stakeholders and liturgists. As articulated in the manuscript’s introduction, this body of work provides pastoral support to those experiencing the grief, hope, uncertainty and loss that may surround childbearing and childbirth. It is designed to provide flexibility so that pastors and liturgists may create occasions of prayer and opportunities for worship to meet the particular and specific needs of the individuals seeking such resources. As a supplement to the 1979 Book of Common Prayer rites of Thanksgiving for the Birth or Adoption of a Child, Reconciliation of a Penitent, and Ministration to the Sick, this collection of materials is presented for approval as Enriching Our Worship 5. RESOLUTIONS RESOLUTION A088 ENRICHING OUR WORSHIP 5 1 Resolved, the House of _____ concurring, That the 76th General Convention receives Rachel's Tears, Hannah's Hopes 2 (found on page 205 of this Blue Book Report) as the response of the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music to 3 Resolution D047, Post-Abortion Healing Services, of the 74th General Convention; and be it further 4 5 Resolved, That this 76th General Convention authorize the use of Rachel’s Tears, Hannah’s Hopes to be added to the 6 Enriching Our Worship series for the 2010-2012 triennium, under the direction of the diocesan bishop or 7 ecclesiastical authority. ENRICHING OUR WORSHIP – DAILY PRAYER MEETINGS April 2007, Oviedo, FL; January 9-11, 2008, Berkeley, CA; May 12- 15, 2008, Seattle, WA SCLM members: Ernesto Medina, Devon Anderson, Clay Morris Consultants: Mark Bozutti-Jones, Rebecca Clark, Paul Joo, Lizette Larson-Miller, Julia McCray-Goldsmith, Elizabeth Muñoz, Cristina Smith , Carol Wade, Julia Wakelee-Lynch, Louis Weil. REPORT TO THE 76TH GENERAL CONVENTION 186 Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music The SCLM was directed by the 75th General Convention in Resolution A069 to develop liturgical material for inclusion in the Enriching Our Worship series. The Commission was also directed to develop these materials innovatively drawing on and reflecting our church’s liturgical, cultural, racial, generational, gender and ethnic diversity. Recognizing that our current daily offices are based on a monastic model of prayer, the SCLM decided to focus its work on the daily offices in order to develop cathedral-style ways of prayer. The nine liturgists who gathered at the first meeting in Florida in April 2007 prayed, listened, sang and discerned together over a period of five days. Out of this came the basic shape of the project heading forward from that point, as well as a clear sense that the project would require more time than initially anticipated. It was clear the scope of the project would be much larger than we had first thought. The basic outline reclaims the practice of praying the hours. Daily Prayer allows for prayer at eight specific times of the day: Daylight Start of Day Mid Morning Noon Mid Afternoon Evening End of Day Late Night In addition to prayers being written for these specific times of the day, sets of prayers are being written for the liturgical seasons of the church year. They are identified as follows: Advent Christmas Epiphany Lent Eastertide Ordinary Time (Two tracks are being developed for Ordinary Time: “Rest” and “Grow”) The Rev. Julia Wakelee-Lynch was asked to serve as first round editor/consultant for the project, and a second meeting with three additional consultants was held at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, CA, in January 2008. At that gathering, a rough draft for the season of Lent was developed, which was then tested out in a wide variety of settings in parishes, small groups and by individuals. The response was very positive. In May 2008, six consultants gathered in Seattle, WA, to assess feedback from the initial draft and begin work on a broader draft which would provide sets of prayers for each season of the church year, adaptable for corporate, small group and personal use. This draft is still in progress, as well as a scholarly introduction, which will provide a broader context for the work, and an end section with notes and appendix of prayer resources. Our plan is as follows: 1. Complete the whole set of prayers in 2009 and send to a liturgical proof editor; 2. Present to the first full meeting of the SCLM in the new triennium; 3. When the collection is acceptable, send the prayers out for informal trial use in the remainder of the triennium; and 4. Report in full to the 77th General Convention. REPORT TO THE 76TH GENERAL CONVENTION 187 Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music RESOLUTION A089 DAILY PRAYER 1 Resolved, the House of _____ concurring, That the 76th General Convention direct the Standing Commission on 2 Liturgy and Music to complete the work on Daily Prayer and report back to the 77th General Convention; and be 3 it further 4 5 Resolved, That the 76th General Convention direct the Joint Standing Committee on Program, Budget and Finance 6 to consider a budget allocation of $15,000 for implementation of this Resolution.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.

The Imperial Russian Revision Lists of the 18th and 19th Century JOSEPH B. EVERETT* Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA One of the most important resources for social and family historians researching in the former Russian Empire are the revision lists, a series of ten enumerations of the population conducted between 1719 and 1858. Listing the members of each household among taxable classes of people across the Russian Empire, the revisions lists are useful for studying historical population demographics and reconstructing family relationships. An awareness of these records and where to access them can be useful for Slavic librarians to facilitate the research of Russian historians and genealogists. This article provides an overview of the history and content of the revision lists with a survey of available collections online and offline. KEYWORDS: Russian Empire, revision lists, census, social history, genealogy, family history, demographics, archives, microfilming, digitization, online databases The Imperial Russian revision lists will be familiar to those acquainted with Nikolai Gogol’s 1842 satirical novel Dead Souls.

  • John Vardill: a Loyalist's Progress
    JOHN VARDILL: A LOYALIST'S PROGRESS by STEVEN GRAHAM WIGELY .A., University of California at Irvine, 1971 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of History We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May, 1975 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of History The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of a loyalist of the American Revolution named John .Vardill. A native of New York who went to England in 1774, he was an Anglican clergyman, a pamphlet• eer, a professor at King's College (New York), and a spy for the British. The purpose of the thesis is: 1. to tell his story, and 2. to argue that his loyalism was a perfectly rea• sonable consequence of his environment and experiences. The text begins with an Introduction (Chapter I) which places Vardill in colonial and English society, and justifies studying one who was neither among the very powerful nor the very weak. It then proceeds to a consideration of the circum• stances and substance of his claim for compensation from the , British government after the war (Chapter II).

A small group of faithful people had been organized in their labours for the ST. JAM ES' EPISCOPAL CHURCH Kingdom of Christ in Greeneville since 1842, but it was only through occa­ sional visiting priests that they had received the Services and Blessings of the Church during those six years. G·R EENE VILL E TENNESSEE The exact month and day that the building of the church commenced is not known, but it is certain that it was either during late 1848 or early 1849. The contract copied in the appendix of this booklet between the 1850 • 1950 builder and the first vestry was dated December 11, 1849, but this was an "Article to finish Episcopal Church." No reference is made therein to indicate when the building had been started nor how much it lacked being completed at that time. We are certain that the work was completed during the first half.
