Application PDF The Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the City and Precincts of Baltimore d/b/a Lovely Lane United Methodist Church Improved Access to Historic Lovely Lane United Methodist Church Request: $99,115.00 Baltimore National Total Match: $99,115.00 Baltimore City PROJECT TITLE: Improved Access to Historic Lovely Lane United Methodist Church PROJECT SUMMARY: The overall project involves a series of discrete restorative and adaptive use components to transform underused space in the 19th century church building into a 21st century facility for increased non- sectarian use. The components identified for the overall project come from the 2019 final report of a Building Needs Assessment (BNA) Study financed in part by a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. (See Attachments for copy of BNA Final Report). The grant project scope of work would focus on a single component among those identified in the BNA Study Final Report: construction of street front access ramp to the church for improved access for all building users and visitors regardless of mobility status. This component carries an approximate $220,000 cost estimate, less than 10% of the overall project cost of $2.6 million. This request for $99,115 in MHAA capital grant funding (and related matching funds) seeks to obtain adequate funding to fully complete this discrete component of the overall project. Other private and public funding sources are committed and/or being sought to leverage the completion of other project components. The ramp will be built on the north side of the church to access the building's north door, be 30 feet long, ADA-compliant, provide access from St. Paul Street on which the front of the church is located and preserve the historic elements of the exterior design. That historic design was the work of famed architect Stanford White to reflect the Romanesque style of churches in England and was built with granite blocks quarried from Port Deposit, Maryland. In October 2019, the church received a "notice to proceed" certificate from Baltimore City's Commission on Historic and Architectural Preservation (C.H.A.P.) based on the ramp design plans' consistency with the historic fabric of the 1884 building's exterior and ADA standards. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Project Description Lovely Lane United Methodist Church (UMC), a historic house of worship located in a Baltimore National Heritage Area (BNHA) designated area, is seeking $99,115 to complete the development of a street front access ramp to the 1884 church. This funding is part of a two phase $2.6 million bricks and mortar multi-component project beginning in 2020. The project's goal is to restore and rehabilitate the aging and architecturally complex 19th century structure to increase heritage tourism, improve visitor The Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the City and Precincts of Baltimore d/b/a Lovely Lane United Methodist Church - Improved Access to Historic Lovely Lane United Methodist Church - Page 1 3/10/2020 1 Application PDF The Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the City and Precincts of Baltimore d/b/a Lovely Lane United Methodist Church Improved Access to Historic Lovely Lane United Methodist Church Request: $99,115.00 Baltimore National Total Match: $99,115.00 Baltimore City experience, and build capacity for use of the building's underutilized space by residents, youth and artists from the surrounding Baltimore community Will any aspects of the project cause ground disturbance (utility lines, footings, underpinnings, grading, signage installation, etc.)? No ground disturbance anticipated Do any aspects of the project have potential to disturb lead paint, asbestos, oil tanks, or other hazardous materials? No How will completing the project accomplish the goals and objectives your organization? The overriding goals of Lovely Lane are to restore and rehabilitate the building consistent with its architectural uniqueness for more diverse uses in order to serve the community and Baltimore City at large as an artistic, educational, recreational and civic venue and to insure that the historic structure is preserved for the future so that even more visitors from across the state, nation and world can come to appreciate its heritage status. Creation of a handicapped accessible ramp will promote and support the increased usage of the structure that the overall project will create. We firmly believe that the envisioned project will permit our organization to operate more sustainably with its successful focus to "preserve" the building's local, state and federal historic register status while at the time to "inspire" greater numbers of building users and visitors alike to better appreciate Lovely Lane's unique heritage status and rehabilitated capacity as a community gathering place. How will completing this project accomplish the goals and objectives of your heritage area? The site of the project, Lovely Lane Church, is recognized by Baltimore National Heritage Area's 2013 Comprehensive Management Plan as a heritage resource both as a religious institution and because of its unique and historic architecture. (See BHNA CMP at 2-10, 2-11). Completion of the access ramp will accomplish the goals and objectives of BNHA in several ways. First, it will foster use of and visitation to a heritage religious institution that "contribute [s] ... to play[ing a] major role in growth and rebirth of the neighborhood" it serves. (BNHA CMP at 2-11). Hosting a greater number of community meetings and events will help assure the building's continued role as an anchor to the community. Hence, the project will accomplish the goal of BNHA to assist The Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the City and Precincts of Baltimore d/b/a Lovely Lane United Methodist Church - Improved Access to Historic Lovely Lane United Methodist Church - Page 2 3/10/2020 2 Application PDF The Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the City and Precincts of Baltimore d/b/a Lovely Lane United Methodist Church Improved Access to Historic Lovely Lane United Methodist Church Request: $99,115.00 Baltimore National Total Match: $99,115.00 Baltimore City neighborhoods in improving quality of life and becoming more visitor ready. (BHHA CMP, Goal 4, at 5-7 ). Second, updating the Church to encourage diversified uses and more visitors also will help sustain operations of the Church and thus its "visual presence" that contributes to the "richness of the urban fabric" of Baltimore. (BNHA, CMP at 2-10) Lovely Lane's iconic tower is a symbol of the Old Goucher neighborhood and a prominent part of the midtown Baltimore skyline. This project will help to assure that the architectural treasure designed by Stanford White can be appreciated by all and by future generations. Third, creation of easier accessibility will fulfill the BNHA objective of "improving the experience of visitors" to heritage sites. (CMP, Objective 3.3, at 5-6). DELIVERABLES: What will be the results of this project? What tangible and intangible deliverables do you anticipate? The primary tangible deliverable will be a 30 foot long ADA-compliant handicapped accessibility ramp with a switchback landing to access the north door of the church building street front facade. This ramp will include a fixed foot access stair for visitors seeking to enter the north facade door to the ground floor gymnasium. The intangible deliverables within the first 3 years post ramp completion include an anticipated minimum 30-50% increase of new visitors and building users annually (2019 base year = 1,485 visitors, 745 building users) to tour the heritage site, attend performing arts and cultural events, and participate in other civic and educational programs hosted by the church. This increase in building users and heritage tourists provides a direct opportunity to contribute to an initiative supported by significant public investment: the contiguous state-designated Station North Arts & Entertainment District (SNA&E). This increase in visitors and building users provides additional foot traffic and marketing opportunities to promote attendance at events, activities and commercial enterprises located in the adjacent SNA&E district. The construction of the ramp will eliminate the current need for mobility-challenged visitors to enter the building from the grade level rear of the church, winding through hallways to an elevator to reach area The Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the City and Precincts of Baltimore d/b/a Lovely Lane United Methodist Church - Improved Access to Historic Lovely Lane United Methodist Church - Page 3 3/10/2020 3 Application PDF The Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the City and Precincts of Baltimore d/b/a Lovely Lane United Methodist Church Improved Access to Historic Lovely Lane United Methodist Church Request: $99,115.00 Baltimore National Total Match: $99,115.00 Baltimore City of interest in the church. Hence, a significant intangible result of the ramp is to greatly enhance visitors' experience of an architectural treasure. How will ongoing maintenance costs be paid for in future years (if applicable)? A restricted endowment account (Restoration Savings Fund) has been set aside for maintenance of building capital expenditures (See Restoration Savings Account statement under Attachments tab). Planned giving life insurance contracts owned by the church and estimated to carry $450,000 in death benefits are expected to replenish current reserves over next 15-25 years. The operating

    GORHAM BUILDING, 390 Fifth Avenue, Aka 386-390 Fifth Avenue and 2-6 West 36Th Street, Manhattan

    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 15, 1998, Designation List 300 LP-2027 GORHAM BUILDING, 390 Fifth Avenue, aka 386-390 Fifth Avenue and 2-6 West 36th Street, Manhattan. Built 1904-1906; architect Stanford White of McKim, Mead and White. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 837, Lot 48. On September 15, 1998, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Gorham Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Seven witnesses representing Manhattan Community Board 5, the Murray Hill Association, the New York Landmarks Conservancy, the Beaux Arts Alliance, the Society for the Architecture of the City, the Municipal Art Society, and the Historic Districts Council spoke in favor of designation. The owner of the building submitted a letter asking that the hearing be adjourned to another date. The hearing was closed with the proviso that it could be reopened at a later date if the owner wished to testify. The owner subsequently declined to do so. There were no speakers in opposition to this designation. The Commission also has received a letter in support of the designation from a local resident. Summary This elegant commercial building, constructed in 1904-05 for the Gorham Manufacturing Company, contained its wholesale and retail showrooms, offices, and workshops. Designed by Stanford White of the prominent architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White, the eight-story building is an adaptation of an early Florentine Renaissance sty le palazzo incorporating a two-story arcade, a four-story mid-section, and a two-story loggia.

    Deacons of Manitoba Newsletter Volume 1 Issue 8 February 2021 Words from The Archbishops A day to honour grandparents and the elderly Dear Deacons and families, We are now comfortably in Lent. No, I retract that, Lent is not a time to be comfortable, it is a time for the soul to stir and new growth to occur. Only a few weeks ago, Pope Francis celebrated the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple. In his homily he made mention of Simeon and Anna who were present that day when Mary and Joseph brought the child into the Temple. These two old and wise individuals who prophesized about the Christ Child, inspired Pope Francis to say: “…the Holy Spirit even today stirs up thoughts and words of wisdom in the elderly”. The Holy Father was reflecting on the preciousness of our elders and how they preserve the cultural roots of people and link the different generations. Pope Francis has often referred to his relationship with his grandmother and how important she was in his own Christian and priestly formation. At the World day for the Meeting of Families a few years ago in Philadelphia, I heard the Pope speak very powerfully about respecting and valuing our grandparents and all older people. With this thought in mind, it is not difficult to understand why Pope Francis would dedicate a special day to honor grandparents and the elderly. He chose, in fact, the fourth Sunday in July every year to do this. It is an opportune choice as this Sunday falls close to the Feast Day of Sts.

    Blessing-Of-Holy-Oils-From-USCCB

    From the USCCB Newsletter Volume LV January-February 2019 Chants for Blessing of the Holy Oils and Parish Reception of the Holy Oils As reported in the November-December 2018 Newsletter, The Order of Blessing the Oil of Catechumens and of the Sick and of Consecrating the Chrism will be implemented on Ash Wednesday, March 6, 2019, and thus be used at the Chrism Mass from this year forward. To aid bishops, pastoral musicians, and others, the Secretariat of Divine Worship has posted free PDF downloads of the chant settings found in the ritual book, along with basic catechesis on the rite. (The PDF of the hymn O Redemptor might be especially useful for inclusion in worship aids.) The webpage is found at USCCB.org/holyoils. The ritual edition itself will be sold exclusively by USCCB Communications and be released in early March 2019. After the holy oils are blessed at the Chrism Mass, they are distributed to the parishes of the diocese. According to the Roman Missal, “[t]he reception of the Holy Oils may take place in individual parishes either before the celebration of the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper or at another time that seems more appropriate” (Chrism Mass, no. 15). This rubric does not specify how a “reception of the Holy Oils” would take place. The Church, therefore, permits pastors some latitude in determining the best way for it to be carried out in their parishes, should they wish to do so. A simple ceremony that is sober yet joyful, consistent with the style of the Roman liturgy, and emphasizing the grace of the sacraments and unity with the bishop, would seem to be the most appropriate way to receive the oils in a parish.

Director: Kevin W. Irwin, S.T.D. The Missa Chrismatis (“Chrism Mass”), the annual ritual Mass that celebrates the blessing of the sacramental oils ordinarily held on Holy Thursday morning, was revised in accordance with the decrees of Vatican II and promulgated by the authority of Pope Paul VI and inserted in the newly promulgated Missale Romanum in 1970. Also revised, in tandem with the Missa Chrismatis, is the Ordo Benedicendi Oleum Catechumenorum et Infirmorum et Conficiendi Chrisma (Ordo), and promulgated editio typica on December 3, 1970. Based upon the scholarly consensus of liturgical theologians that liturgical events are acts of theology, this study seeks to delineate the liturgical theology of the Missa Chrismatis by applying the method of liturgical theology proposed by Kevin Irwin in Context and Text. A critical study of the prayers, both ancient and new, for the consecration of Chrism and the blessing of the oils of the sick and of catechumens reveals rich theological data. In general it can be said that the fundamental theological principle of the Missa Chrismatis is initiatory and consecratory. The study delves into the history of the chrismal liturgy from its earliest foundations as a Mass in the Gelasianum Vetus, including the chrismal consecration and blessing of the oils during the missa in cena domini, recorded in the Hadrianum, Ordines Romani, and Pontificales Romani of the Middle Ages, through the reforms of 1955-56, 1965 and, finally, 1970.

    Bronx Community College University Heights Campus

    Bronx Community College University Heights Campus The University Heights Campus of Bronx Community College, a 19th century gem, is the first community college campus to be named a national historic landmark. Announcing the designation on Oct. 17, 2012, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar called the original buildings “a nationally significant example of Beaux-Arts architecture in the United States, and among the most important works by Stanford White, partner in McKim, Mead & White, the preeminent American architectural firm at the turn of the 20th century.” The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission first designated the buildings a landmark in 1966. The City University of New York bought the University Heights Campus from New York University in 1973 as a new home for Bronx Community College. In 1979, the buildings joined the National Register of Historic Places. In 2012, CUNY completed Stanford White’s quadrangle – first conceived in 1892 – with the architecturally harmonious and technologically advanced North Hall and Library, designed by Robert A.M. Stern. What follows comes from the college’s National Historic Landmark application. It was written by Easton Architects, a consultant to Bronx Community College on historic preservation. The University Heights Campus is a tour-de-force of Beaux-Arts influenced American Renaissance architecture. Stanford White of the renowned firm of McKim, Mead & White designed the campus for New York University in a bucolic setting on a bluff in the Bronx overlooking the Harlem River. NYU’s desire for a more spacious and architecturally unified campus followed important design trends for academic institutions of higher learning at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 26, 2012, Designation List 457 LP-2518 BOWERY BANK OF NEW YORK BUILDING, 124 Bowery (aka 124-126 Bowery, 230 Grand Street), Manhattan Built: 1900-02; architect(s): York & Sawyer Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 470, Lot 64 On May 15, 2012, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Bowery Bank of New York Building and the proposed designation of the Landmark Site (Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Four people testified in favor of designation, including representatives of City Councilmember Margaret Chin, the Bowery Alliance of Neighbors, the Historic Districts Council, and the Metropolitan Chapter of the Victorian Society in American. The Commission has also received a letter from the owner in opposition to designation. Summary Completed in 1902, the Bowery Bank of New York is the earliest surviving building by the architectural firm of York & Sawyer in New York City. Located at the northwest corner of the Bowery and Grand Street, it is flanked on both sides by the former Bowery Savings Bank, a designated Landmark that was constructed during the years when both York and Sawyer were employed by the building’s architect, McKim Mead & White. While the neighboring facades are distinguished by massive pediments and Corinthian columns that suggest an ancient Roman temple, the straightforward monumentality of the Bowery Bank expressed its function as a modern place of work. The New York Daily Tribune praised the building when it opened, saying it “ranks with the best of our modern New York banks.” Edward P.

    Ministry of the Word, Preaching & the Permanent

    Item III-C MINISTRY OF THE WORD, PREACHING & THE PERMANENT DEACON [Promulgated by Cardinal Rigali on September 22, 2006] I. PRINCIPLES & NORMS The purpose of this document is to offer principles and norms concerning the deacon and the important ministry of the word which he exercises in the Church. This documents also lists conditions required for a deacon to exercise the faculty to preach in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and it treats the frequency of a deacon’s preaching. Speaking of deacons and the three munera proper to their ministry, the Second Vatican Council states: “For strengthened by sacramental grace, in communion with the bishops and his group of priests, they serve the people of God in the ministry of the liturgy, of the word, and of charity” (Lumen Gentium, 29). It then adds: “It is the duty of the deacon, to the extent that he has been authorized by competent authority...to read the sacred Scripture to the faithful....” (ibid.) Canon 757 explains how both priests and deacons exercise the ministry of the word: “It is proper for presbyters, who are co-workers of the bishops, to proclaim the gospel of God; this duty binds especially pastors and others to whom the care of souls is entrusted with respect to the people committed to them. It is also for deacons to serve the people of God in the ministry of the word in communion with the bishop and his presbyterium.” Canon 764 points out that priests and deacons “possess the faculty of preaching everywhere; this faculty is to be exercised with at least the presumed consent of
