1 Homosexuality & the Contemporary Anglican Communion: the Windsor
Homosexuality & the Contemporary Anglican Communion: The Windsor Report © Charleston C. K. Wang I. Mandate and Scope The Windsor Report of the Lambeth Commission on Communion was issued under the auspices of the Most Reverend Dr. Robin Eames, Archbishop of Armagh and Commission Chair in October 2004. In response to the mandate given by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Windsor touches upon the “legal and theological implications flowing from the decisions of the Episcopal Church USA (ECUSA) to appoint a priest in a committed same sex relationship as one of its bishops, and of the Diocese of New Westminster [of the Anglican Church of Canada] to authorize services for use in connection with same sex unions.”1 Of even greater importance, perhaps, Windsor addresses “specifically … the canonical understandings of communion, impaired and broken communion, and the ways in which provinces of the Anglican Communion2 may relate to one another in situations where the ecclesiastical authorities of one province feel unable to maintain the fullness of communion with another part of the Anglican Communion.”3 Windsor is intended to be viewed as recommendations to the Primates 1 Windsor Report of the Lambeth Commission on Communion, The Anglican Communion Office, London, UK (October 2004) at p8.

The Institution and Welcoming of the Reverend Hugh Bowron As Vicar of the Parish of St
The Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. The Institution and Welcoming of The Reverend Hugh Bowron as Vicar of the Parish of St. Peter’s, Caversham by The Right Reverend Kelvin Wright Bishop of Dunedin On the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple. The Church of St Peter, Caversham, Thursday, February 2, 2012, 7pm. Processional Hymn: Of the Father's heart begotten, Ere the world from chaos rose, He is Alpha, from that Fountain All that is and has been flows; He is Omega, of all things, Yet to come the distant Close, Evermore and evermore for ever. By His word was all created He commanded and 'twas done; Earth and sky and boundless ocean, Universe of three in one, All that sees the moon's soft radiance, All that breathes beneath the sun, Evermore and evermore. He assumed this mortal body, Frail and feeble, doomed to die, That the race from dust created, Might not perish utterly, Which the dreadful Law had sentenced In the depths of hell to lie, Evermore and evermore. O how blest that wondrous birthday, When the Maid the curse retrieved, Brought to birth mankind's salvation By the Holy Ghost conceived, And the Babe, the world's Redeemer In her loving arms received, Evermore and evermore. Sing, ye heights of heaven, his praises; Angels and Archangels, sing! Wheresoe’er ye be, ye faithful, Let your joyous anthems ring, Every tongue his name confessing, Countless voices answering, Evermore and evermore. Words: Corde Natus - Prudentius (trans. R.F. Davis) Music: Divinum mysterium (arr. -
Diocesan Prayer Cycle
DIOCESAN CYCLE OF PRAYER February-March 2020 USING THIS CYCLE OF PRAYER This edition of the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer follows the same general form as its predecessor. It follows a simple monthly cycle. On each day parishes and other ministry units in the Diocese are listed, together with a range of diocesan and national church bodies. Reference is made to pastorates of Tikanga Maori and parochial districts of the Diocese of Polynesia located within the geographical area of the Diocese. Note, however, that these do not come within the jurisdiction of the Diocese but are included as a symbol of partnership. Clergy with a permission to officiate and widows of clergy are listed in alphabetical sequence throughout the course of the monthly cycle. An obvious weakness in any scheme of intercession is that it soon becomes out of date. For this reason, this issue of the Cycle of Prayer appears on the Diocesan website and will be updated bi- monthly, with the date of revision appearing on the front page. Please direct any inquiries to the Editor of the Cycle of Prayer at the Bishop’s Office, P.O. Box 37- 242, Parnell 1151, Auckland or email [email protected] 2 A SCHEME OF INTERCESSION Every day In the morning: The day and its tasks; the world and its needs; the Church and her life In the evening: Peace; individuals and their needs Sunday The universal Church Bishops, synods and all who lead the Church The leaders of the nations The natural world and the resources of the earth All who are in any kind of need Monday The media and -

THE ROCK Anglican Parish of Caversham Saint Peter, June 2016—Trinity—Ordinary Time Dunedin, New Zealand Episcopal Election By The Vicar ishop Kelvin has announced that he will retire at Easter next year, in April 2017. The B election to succeed him will have some unusual features to it. The ? challenge is that the Bishopric estate is short of $50,000 a year to fund a full time Bishop. In the recent past the shortfall was found by raiding various nest eggs but now all the jam jars are empty. The Diocesan Council has had 2005 to come up with various suggestions as 1989 2010 PHOTO: INFORMATION SERVICES 2017 PHOTO: WWW.TEARA.GOVT.NZ PHOTO: UNKNOWN SOURCE. to how the shortfall might be found.

Women Bishops in the Anglican Communion
Women bishops in the Anglican Communion Religion Media Centre Collaboration House, 77-79 Charlotte Street, London W1T 4LP | [email protected] Charity registration number: 1169562 It is 30 years since the first woman was appointed a bishop in the Anglican Communion. How have they fared since? The Anglican Communion is the third-largest grouping of Christians in the world with about 85 million members. It is made up of 40 autonomous provinces, twelve of which have consecrated women as bishops. Several others have made provision for women to become bishops but have yet to elect or appoint any. The question of whether it is permissible for women to enter holy orders as deacons, priests and bishops has been fiercely contested within the Anglican Communion’s recent history. Deacons are the initial order of clergy, able to officiate at marriages and funerals but not to preside at Holy Communion. In churches that ordain women as priests the diaconate (office of deacon) is usually a stepping stone to priesthood. The role of a bishop is to be a “shepherd,” an authoritative teacher with pastoral oversight over a diocese. Most Anglican provinces choose their bishops by election. Because the Church of England is established in law, bishops are appointed by the Crown after consultation within the Church. The first woman to become a bishop in the Anglican Communion was Barbara Harris who was consecrated the suffragan Bishop of Massachusetts in the Episcopal Church in America in February 1989. A suffragan bishop serves as an assistant to a diocesan bishop. The Episcopal Church in America was also the first Anglican church to elect a woman, Katharine Jefferts Schori, as its presiding bishop (or primate) in 2006. -
