Revised Wednesday 18 December 2019 Preface on Behalf of the College of Bishops MARK STRANGE Bishop of Moray, Ross & Caithness and Primus The life of the Church, as the worshipping community of all the baptized, has the Eucharist at its heart. The people of God meet Christ, above all, in the Eucharist. Through the liturgy of the Eucharist we truly become the body of Christ, are fed by him in Word and Sacrament, and are sent out into the world to proclaim the good news of his kingdom. The liturgy therefore leads and impels us in mission. For this reason, liturgical formation and liturgical renewal are foundations for mission and growth; a formation and renewal that draws on perhaps the most rich and flexible tradition of sacramental worship in the Anglican Communion. At the centre of this tradition is the Scottish Liturgy (in its three current forms). The Church must constantly be attentive to the Liturgy and the manner and forms in which it is celebrated. The College of Bishops therefore commends the process of scholarship, consultation, and discussion, of which this special issue of the Scottish Episcopal Institute Journal forms a part, as the Liturgy Committee seeks to implement the mandate of the Faith and Order Board to present suggestions for the renewal of the Scottish Liturgy. Foreword by the Convener of the Liturgy Committee JOHN REUBEN DAVIES Research Fellow in History in the School of Humanities of the University of Glasgow Convener, Liturgy Committee of the Faith and Order Board By the celebration of the Eucharist we anticipate the life of the kingdom, and in the Eucharist, we receive Christ as the one who has ‘the words of eternal life’ (John 6. 68), and who is indeed ‘the bread of life’ (John 6. 48). Growth is a sign of life, and renewal is the means by which growth comes about. The Church can, in one sense, only be renewed through its liturgy, since it is through the liturgy – and through Baptism and Eucharist most precisely, as the sacraments of the Paschal mystery – that the Church is made and exists. And the reason the Church exists is as a herald for salvation. As the Primus reminds us in his Preface, it is for this very reason that the liturgy ‘leads and impels us in mission’. The recognition that liturgical formation and liturgical renewal must be ‘the foundations for mission and growth’, centred on the celebration of the Eucharist, is therefore behind the commission delivered by the Faith and Order Board, to the Liturgy Committee, to begin the work of study and review of the Scottish Liturgy so that the Eucharistic worship offered throughout the Scottish Episcopal Church can allow us all the more truly to stand at the centre of the world, like Christ, and bless God. And so that we can receive the world from God and offer it to God. For the purpose of all Christians is to become the true ‘liturgists of Jesus Christ’ (cf. Romans 15. 16). The community of love and faith, which is the Church, is also a community full of hope and new life focused on sacrificial love and thanksgiving. And this kind of sacrificial love and thanksgiving is demonstrated at the heart of our liturgical life in the Eucharist. Only with the Eucharist, therefore, as the liturgy of word and sacrament at the heart of our lives, can we know who we are and be known for who we are. Only with the Eucharist as the heart of the life of the Church can the love of God reach beyond the act of worship and into the everyday life of the world. For the liturgy shows us how to see the world, and how to live in the world, and is therefore ‘for the life of the world’ (John 6. 51). At the start of the process of study and review, the Liturgy Committee now offers this conversation about some of the principles of liturgical revision and renewal. Other ways of continuing and broadening the SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL INSTITUTE JOURNAL 7 conversation are also envisaged – workshops and study days, regional consultations and local discussions – but we begin here by setting out various ideas based on a range of scholarship and practical knowledge. This issue of the SEI Journal offers a collection of studies mainly by members of the Liturgy Committee. We have nevertheless also invited several contributions from specialists outside the Committee. The articles do not represent any settled opinion of the Liturgy Committee but rather the considered thoughts of the individual contributors at the outset of this journey. Neither have all the issues that need to be discussed been included here. We therefore aim to produce further collections of studies, covering themes such as communication, movement, culture, children, dementia, immobility, and inclusion; seasonal provision; and the Eucharist as the setting for other sacramental acts. One question that we are especially aware of is the case for theological diversity in the provision for Eucharistic Prayers; and we hope that scholars from an evangelical position will be able to respond to our invitation to address the questions which have so often been raised within congregations, the Faith and Order Board, and the General Synod. In the meantime, the following collection is presented to the Church – and the Scottish Episcopal Church in particular – as a starting point for discussion. Towards Renewal of the Scottish Liturgy: Some Principles NICHOLAS TAYLOR Rector, St Aidan’s Church (Clarkston) Member, Doctrine Committee and Member, Liturgy Committee of the Faith and Order Board Liturgy is an act of the Church, not of the officiating minister, nor even of the gathered congregation, but of the Church catholic, ‘at all times and in all places’. Nevertheless, for reasons of historical accident as well as of cultural mutation or theological principle, Christian worship has evolved in different ways in different contexts and gives expression to the faith as understood and experienced, within a dynamic tradition, by a particular community in a particular place. Worship is therefore local as well as global, and the ordering of our worship requires that the catholic and the contextual both be expressed. What is true of liturgy in general is pre-eminently true of the Eucharist, commemorating as it does the once-and-for-all death and resurrection of Christ. As the Body of Christ constitutes one Church, expresses one faith, and administers one Baptism, so too it celebrates the one Eucharist.

  • Ecclesiastical Circumscriptions and Their Relationship with the Diocesan Bishop

    Ecclesiastical Circumscriptions and Their Relationship with the Diocesan Bishop

    CANON 294 ECCLESIASTICAL CIRCUMSCRIPTIONS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DIOCESAN BISHOP What is the relationship of the faithful in personal ecclesiastical circumscriptions to the local diocesan bishop? OPINION The Apostolic See, in the Annual General Statistical Questionnaire, asks diocesan bishops the number of priests in the ecclesiastical circumscription of the diocese, their country of origin and whether they are diocesan or religious. The fact that the diocesan bishop is answering these questions indicates the close relationship between himself and any personal Ecclesiastical Circumscription. Canons 215 and 216 of the 1917 Code required that ecclesiastical circumscriptions be territorial within a diocese and an apostolic indult was needed, for example, to establish personal parishes for an ethnic group of the faithful. After World War II, Pope Pius XII provided for the pastoral care of refugees and migrants in his apostolic constitution Exsul Familia in 1952. Chaplains for migrants were granted special faculties to facilitate pastoral care without receiving the power of jurisdiction or governance. The Second Vatican Council admitted personal criteria in ecclesiastical organisation. The decree Christus Dominus 11 held that the essential element of a particular Church is personal, being a “portion of the people of God”. Personal factors are crucial to determine the communitarian aspect of the makeup of a community. After Vatican II, the Code of Canon Law needed revision. The Synod of Bishops in 1967 approved the principles to guide the revision of the code. The eighth principle stated: “The principle of territoriality in the exercise of ecclesiastical government is to be revised somewhat, for contemporary apostolic factors seem to recommend personal jurisdictional units.

Today, having a clear faith based on the Creed of the Church is often labeled as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, that is, letting oneself be “tossed here and there, carried about by every wind of doctrine”, seems the only attitude that can cope with modern times. We are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one’s own ego and desires. JOSEPH RATZINGER, homily given in the Basilica of Saint Peter on April 18, 2005 All activity must be preceded by an intense life of prayer, contemplation, seeking and listening to God’s will.

Boston College School of Theology & Ministry Introduction Metanoiete. From the very first word of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of Mark reform and renewal have been an essential feature of Christian life and thought – just as they were critical to the message of the prophets of ancient Israel. The preaching of the Gospel presumes at least some openness to change, to acting differently and to thinking about things differently. This process has been repeated over and over again over the centuries. This insight forms the backbone of Gerhard Ladner’s classic work The Idea of Reform, where renovatio and reformatio are constants throughout Christian history.1 All of the great reform movements in the past twenty centuries have been in response to both changing cultural and societal circumstances (like the adaptation of Christianity north of the Alps) and the failure of Christians individually and communally to live up to the demands of the Gospel.

  • The Catholic Mass[1]

    The Catholic Mass[1]

    The Catholic Mass God wants you to encounter Him In the Church's liturgy the divine blessing is fully revealed and communicated. The Father is acknowledged and adored as the source and the end of all the blessings of creation and salvation. In his Word who became incarnate, died, and rose for us, he fills us with his blessings. Through his Word, he pours into our hearts the Gift that contains all gifts, the Holy Spirit. Catechism of the Catholic Church 1082 "Seated at the right hand of the Father" and pouring out the Holy Spirit on his Body which is the Church, Christ now acts through the sacraments he instituted to communicate his grace. The sacraments are perceptible signs (words and actions) accessible to our human nature. By the action of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit they make present efficaciously the grace that they signify. Catechism of the Catholic Church 1084 In the liturgy of the New Covenant every liturgical action, especially the celebration of the Eucharist and the sacraments, is an encounter between Christ and the Church. The liturgical assembly derives its unity from the "communion of the Holy Spirit" who gathers the children of God into the one Body of Christ. This assembly transcends racial, cultural, social - indeed, all human affinities. Catechism of the Catholic Church 1097 Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. It is Him that is being proclaimed at Mass. He is present whether or not the lector knows how to pronounce the words, or is speaking clearly or is dynamic.

Vann has been appointed the Ecclesiastical Delegate for the Pastoral Provision in the United States by Holy See, Washington, D.C. Cardinal Donald Wuerl announced Tuesday during the Fall meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic of Bishops in Baltimore. Bishop Vann is succeeding Newark Archbishop John J. Myers who has been the delegate since 2003. Bishop Vann assumes the office of delegate immediately. As the Ecclesiastical Delegate for the Pastoral Provision, Bishop Vann will be the Holy See’s delegate assisting former Anglican ministers who have been received into the Catholic Church and who wish to be ordained as Catholic priests. The Pastoral Provision has been in effect in the United States since 1980. This appointment is made by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Among the duties of the Ecclesiastical Delegate is to ensure the former Anglican ministers in formation receive thorough theological, spiritual and pastoral preparation for ordained ministry in the Catholic Church. Once formation is completed, the former Anglican minister becomes eligible to petition for Sacred Orders, which leads to the diaconate and priesthood. The Pastoral Provision is under the jurisdiction of the Holy See’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. As the Congregation’s delegate, Bishop Vann is responsible for the on-going work and application of the Pastoral Provision in United States.
