  • MORNING PRAYER Thursday April 2
    ! Welcome to Morning Prayer with the people of the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont. A few notes about today's service. Please leave your microphone on mute during the responsory portions of the service. 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.

  • 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.

  • Anglo-Catholicism in Antebellum North Carolina: Levi Silliman Ives and the Society of the Holy Cross
    Anglo-Catholicism in Antebellum North Carolina: Levi Silliman Ives and the Society of the Holy Cross By Lewis Wright He has instituted at Valle Crucis a monastic order . composed of persons bound to him by a vow of celibacy, poverty and obedience. He has given to the members, as their peculiar dress, a black cassock extending from the throat to the ankle. He allows to be placed on the altar a pyx, in which are reserved the remaining consecrated elements after a communion . there is used at Valle Crucis in a little manual of devotions . prayers to the Virgin Mary and the Saints. He has announced to two of his clergy an intention to send a “penitentiary” through the parishes in the Diocese to receive the confessions of the people.1 THESE CRITICISMS of the Rt. Rev. Levi Silliman Ives (1797-1867), bishop of North Carolina, were made in 1849 by George Edmond Badger, a prominent layman, lawyer and United States senator from Raleigh, North Carolina. Several accounts have been written of the life of Bishop Ives, a cradle Presbyterian who converted to the Episcopal Church. Ives served as the second bishop of North Carolina (1831-1852) and spent the last fifteen years of his life as a Roman Catholic layman (1852-1867).2 These accounts have included few details of the Society of the Holy Cross and of the bishop’s beloved mission-monastery outpost in the wilderness of the North Carolina mountains, which he called Valle Crucis Abbey.3 On an evening in late October or early November, 1847, at St.

  • NEWS RELEASE for IMMEDIATE RELEASE Nashotah House
    June 13-14, 2019 NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For More Information Contact: Lisa Swan Director of Marketing & Communications Nashotah House Theological Seminary Office: 262-646-6509 [email protected] The Rev. Dr. Greg Peters Nashotah House Appoints Dr. Greg Peters as Servants of Christ Research Professor of Monastic Studies and Chair to its First Annual International Conference June 13-14, 2019 NASHOTAH, WISCONSIN, (December 13, 2018) Nashotah House is excited to announce its first annual international conference, the James Lloyd Breck Conference on Monastism and the Church. This year’s conference theme, "The Monastic Call of Every Christian,” will explore the idea that the foundation of all forms of religious life, consecrated or lay, is the sacrament of baptism. Held at Nashotah House, the conference will provide an intimate forum to investigate this reality and its implications for the life and ministry of all Christians. The annual Breck Conference on Monasticism and the Church and appointment of Dr. Peters is made possible by a generous endowment granted to Nashotah House in 2017, extending the legacy of The St. Benedict Servants of Christ into perpetuity for the advancement of the Religious Life, especially within Anglicanism. "My hope is to continue Nashotah House's longstanding commitment to take seriously personal holiness and service in the Church. Monasticism has a lot to teach the twenty-first century and through the newly endowed Breck Conference we will be able to investigate monastic history for the express purpose of recovering its riches for today's church. To do this at Nashotah House reinforces the school's commitment to the Christian tradition and to the 'real preparation' of ecclesial ministers,” shared Peters.

Con- vinced that ‘evangelizing the West’ was going to take clergy with roots there, he first orga- nized a seminary and college in St Louis, Missouri, on 15 October 1838, which would close on 1 April 1845.2 At about the same time he made his first official visit to Wisconsin, in 1838, and saw potential for both a mission and a school.
