  • The Eardley and Travers Family
    CHAPTER FIVE THE EARDLEY AND TRAVERS FAMILY So far there has been no obvious connection with St Tudy. Let us focus on the Rector of St. Tudy that Julia Harrietta Cannan wrote to in 1921 (1), The Reverend Henry Edwin Eardley. Ancestry.Com. (29b) shows a Henry Edwin Eardley born Oct/Nov/Dec 1857 in Derby. Recorded in the 1861 census there is Henry E. Eardley, son of Edwin and Emma.He was born in 1858, in Litchurch, Derbyshire (29). At the age of 13 in 1871 he was still at Litchurch (29a). In 1881(29b&29bi) there was a student, Henry E. Eardley born 1858, attending the Theological College at St Mary’sIslington. The Crockford’sentry for Mr. Eardley tells us that in 1881 Reverend Eardley was Ordained and he took up work as Curate at Swanage from 1881 to 1884 (29ei). On February 20th he married Julia Mina Travers who was the daughter of the Rector of Swanage, the Reverend Robert Duncan Travers (30). Reverend Eardley was then a Private Chaplain from 1884 to 1887 (29ei). From 1886 to1891 he was Assoc. Sec. C.M.S. Committee, York (29ei). There is a census record of him visiting Wallingfen, Derbyshire during 1891 (29d). At the same time his wife Julia Mina was visiting Micklegate, York with Charlotte Mary Travers her sister and Violet Dorothy Eardley her daughter. The 1901 census (29di) shows Henry E. Eardley as residing as ‘head’of family at the St. John’sVicarage, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. It looks therefore as if he was the vicar of St.

    ATR/90:2 Theological Education for the Anglican Communion: The Promises and Challenges of TEAC J. Eileen Scully* Archbishop Rowan Williams has spoken often and strongly of the high priority theological education ought to have in the Anglican Communion. The assignment of such a place within a province’s set of priorities finds its meaning in its very concrete local commit- ments, engagement with local contexts, the setting of standards, and the provision of resources. Setting such a priority for the life of the Anglican Communion as a whole means including and extending particular provincial concerns into the international forum. With that extension come the particular challenges inherent in any Commu- nion-wide discussion. Within and across our diversities, do we have common language, meaning, and vision about what theological edu- cation is, or about Anglican ways of doing ministry, mission, and the- ological education? The vehicle set up to begin the Communion-level work on theo- logical education is the Primates’ Working Party Theological Educa- tion for the Anglican Communion (TEAC). TEAC is one particular initiative, begun in and responsible to the meeting of Primates, around which has grown a Theological Studies department within the Communion office, committed beyond the work of TEAC to sharing information and developing extensive web-based resources. Records of the origins and program content of TEAC are readily available on * Eileen Scully is Coordinator for Ministry and Worship for the Anglican Church of Canada. She has lectured in systematic and historical theology at St. Jerome’s Col- lege, Wilfrid Laurier University, and the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary in Waterloo, Ontario, and at Huron College in London, Ontario.

  • Anic Newsletter
    ANiC Newsletter 6 October 2008 News shorts – ANiC and AEN And then there were 21… In the past eight days, the Anglican Network in Canada (ANiC) has grown from 18 parishes to 21. The congregations of St George’s (Ottawa) and the Church of St Peter (Hamilton) both voted with overwhelming majorities on Sunday, October 5 to come under the episcopal oversight of Bishop Don and under the Primatial authority of Archbishop Greg. At St George’s the vote was 130 in favour and 27 opposed, while at St Peter’s, 42 voted in favour and one was opposed. The two congregations reached their decisions with remarkable unity of spirit. Even at St George’s where a number of the members did not favour the decision, the meeting was marked by civility, love and a commitment to continued worship together. See the news release … Learn more about St George’s and St Peter’s . Diocese tries to discredit St Aidan’s unanimous vote Immediately following St Aidan’s unanimous vote on September 28, the diocese began to question the legitimacy of the vote. The Rt Rev Robert Bennett, of the Huron Diocese, is reported to have said he was "concerned that they [St Aidan’s] may have not used due diligence to make sure the whole membership was invited" to the meeting. In fact, the turnout for the meeting was higher than at past vestries, and while some eligible vestry members were unable to attend due to other commitments, many have since indicated their solid support in writing. (The Canons of the Diocese of Huron do not allow for proxy votes.) ANiC welcomes more clergy On Sunday, Bishop Don ordained two deacons – Jess Cantelon and Ronda Nychka.

  • A Brief History of the Split in the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh and St
    A Brief History of the split in the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh and St. David’s Church Between 2008 and 2012 there were a number of changes at St. David’s that are significant to the history of the congregation. There are many in our surrounding community who have seen the sign out front change from “Episcopal” to “Anglican” to “Church of the Redeemer at St. David’s” back to “Episcopal.” This has certainly had a negative effect on the life of St. David’s as few are interested in their church being filled with conflict or uncertainty. This brief history is intended to communicate clearly the changes that have happened in the five years following the schism in the Diocese (and the larger Episcopal Church). Many have asked, “What is going on over at St. David’s?” and this is an answer to that question. In the Fall of 2008, the then Episcopal Bishop of Pittsburgh, Robert Duncan, led a group who left the Episcopal Church. Since the leader of the movement was our bishop, many in the diocese followed him out of the Episcopal Church. The following year they created a new independent denomination called the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). This is a misleading name as the Episcopal Church is the only recognized member of the worldwide Anglican Communion within the United States. The Rector and Vestry of St. David’s Episcopal Church made an attempt to leave the Episcopal Church as a part of this split. This is when the sign in front of the church changed to read “St.

  • Mission and Ministry: Responding to Schism and Economic Downturn
    ATR/92:4 Mission and Ministry: Responding to Schism and Economic Downturn Louis B. Hays* In the summer of 2007 I accepted a call to serve as rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania (a close-in suburb of Pittsburgh). Like many Episcopalians, I was well aware of the storm of schism sweeping through the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Like most Episcopalians, I was totally unaware that we were also about to be hit by an economic tsunami. Fortunately, St. Paul’s has weathered the theological and financial storms that have buffeted our region. Our goal, however, is to thrive, not just survive. This article explores the impact of the schism (minimal, thanks be to God) and the eco- nomic downturn (more significant) on this parish, the steps being taken to move forward into a bright future, and the theological im- perative for doing so. Background St. Paul’s was founded in 1836 near downtown Pittsburgh. In the 1920s it abandoned its original site to move to the suburbs. Our cur- rent location is marked by our cornerstone dated 1930. After strug- gling financially during the Depression years, the situation improved during World War II, and during the 1950s and 1960s St. Paul’s was one of the fastest growing Episcopal churches in the country. In more recent times, the high water mark for the size of St. Paul’s was 1999, when average Sunday attendance (ASA) was just over 400. During the next seven years there would be a steady decline to ASA of 290. The 27 percent slide between 1999 and 2006 served as a wake-up call for the parish leadership.

    SPRING TERM 2021 Course Syllabus Department: Pastoral Prayer Book: Introduction to Anglican Worship PT 641 Credit Hours: 3 Mondays/8:30 am – Noon [Chapel attendance is expected to enable class discussion] Instructor Archbishop Robert Duncan Thistle Hill, Donegal, PA 15628 412-475-0900 [email protected] or [email protected] Course Description This course challenges students to prepare and lead worship in the living Prayer Book Tradition of North American Anglicanism. Pastoral, biblical, theological, liturgical, aesthetic and missional coherence are all lenses through which students will be encouraged to examine their efforts. The Book of Common Prayer 2019 and The Book of Common Prayer 1979 will be primary texts, evaluated with reference to each other, to earlier (especially to the Book of Common Prayer 1662 of the Church of England) and to contemporary (global) Anglican prayer books, and to wider Christian practice. The shape, rationale and logic of each service in the Prayer Book will be considered in a “hands on” style. For those students expecting to serve in non-Anglican worship settings there will be opportunity to assess substantial differences and also possibilities of convergence as each prepares and leads worship. Course Goals, Objectives, Outcomes Goals: - To learn to plan biblically and theologically sound, pastorally and missionally effective, aesthetically delivered and liturgically coherent worship according to the Book of Common Prayer, for a broad range of circumstances. - To understand the rubrical and textual choices available for leading worship and to make use of worship resources (hymns, songs, illustrations) thoughtfully and artfully. - To grasp the value of “admirable simplicity” in Prayer Book worship.
