Scottish Episcopal Institute Journal Scottish Episcopal Institute Journal Winter 2020 — Volume 4.4 A quarterly journal for debate on current issues in the Anglican Communion and beyond Scottish Episcopal Institute Journal Volume 4.4 — Winter 2020 — ISSN 2399-8989 EDITORIAL The Winter 2020 issue of the Scottish Episcopal Institute Journal is rich and varied. In addition to an article by John N. Collins, an international scholar of the diaconate, there are six articles on the vocational diaconate by authors linked to the Scottish Episcopal Church: John Reuben Davies, Norma Higgott, Stephen Mark Holmes, Harriet Johnston, Richard Tiplady and Anne Tomlinson; the Scottish Episcopal Institute Annual Lecture 2020 by the missiologist Cathy Ross entitled ‘Mission and Formation in a Time of Lament and Hope: Reflections after COVID-19’; a response to the Doctrine Committee’s ‘Theology of Authority in the Ministry of the Church’ (Grosvenor Essay no. 13) by John Hind; an article about pilgrimage and running by Mark Calder; an informal reflection on ministerial practice by Gregor Duncan; and, finally, five book reviews. This Winter issue marks four years for the Journal, with sixteen issues having come online since Spring 2017. Thanks are due to those whose contributions over these last four years have made the Journal a significant source of theological reflection in Scotland and the Anglican Communion, especially Nicholas Taylor and Alistair Mason, who both stand down from membership on the Editorial Board at the end of this calendar year. As we approach the Fourth Sunday of Advent, our Prime Minister and First Minister have both announced renewed restrictions in light of a new strain of the Covid-19 virus. The Collect for Advent IV is a particularly apt prayer at this time insofar as it asks the Good God to ‘speedily help and deliver us’. O Lord, raise up (we pray thee) thy power, and come among us, and with great might succour us; that whereas, through our sins and wickedness, we are sore let and hindered in running the race that is set before us, thy bountiful grace and mercy may speedily help and deliver us; through the satisfaction of thy Son our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost be honour and glory, world without end. Amen. (Scottish Book of Common Prayer) ARTICLES ‘Yet here am I among you like the waiter’ (Luke 22. 27) JOHN N. COLLINS 9 What is a Deacon?

Collins Yarra Theological Union (Australia) Deacons are all familiar with the Lord’s saying in the Gospel according to Luke, ‘I am among you as one who serves.’ For this reflection I have drawn on the slightly different translation in the New English Bible of 1961, ‘Yet here am I among you like the servant,’ but I have changed the word ‘servant’ to ‘waiter’. The New English Bible is not much used these days, but at this point I think it hit the mark. I changed ‘servant’ to ‘waiter’, however, because I want to emphasize the focus Luke maintains throughout this scene. That focus is ever so sharply on a group of people at the closing stage of an important and formal meal. And I like very much the way the New English Bible captures the shock value in what Jesus says. ‘Yet here am I among you like […]’ Obviously, he is about to tip the scales, to say something unexpected, something challenging whose import is critical for his confused companions. When, by contrast, we turn to our contemporary version, ‘but I am among you as one who serves’, the table scene tends to slip from view and we easily begin to consider a broader scenario where Jesus is reminding us of all kinds of serving that he has engaged himself in and now sends us out too. The earliest English translators had no inclinations in this direction. They kept the attention very much on the meal. Both John Wyclif (1380) and William Tyndale (1526) have Jesus and his disciples sitting ‘at meat’ — in 1611 the Authorized Version retained this — and the two figures Jesus introduces into the scene are ‘he that sittith at the mete’ and ‘he that mynystrith’, that is the table attendant or waiter. Jesus then turns things around with — as Wyclif put it — ‘I am in the middle of you as he that mynystrith.’ In taking up Jesus’s saying for a reflection, we will keep the same table scene in view. Luke’s Passover Helping us here is the way Luke has structured what we call the Last Supper, although the word ‘supper’ is something of a distraction. This antique word ‘supper’ speaks of an evening meal but, as the dictionary describes it, a ‘light and informal’ one, which is not at all what Luke aims to present. Like Mark and Matthew, Luke is particular about establishing the character of the meal as a Passover. Disciples are sent into Jerusalem to make the preparations. Of the Passover itself, however, with its lamb, unleavened bread and bitter 10 SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL INSTITUTE JOURNAL herbs, we hear virtually nothing, but that is of little matter as we hear the emotive expression of Jesus’s ‘earnest’ desire ‘to eat this Passover’ with his disciples before he suffers (Luke 22. 15). With the mention of the suffering — a salient feature of Jesus’s earlier warnings during their long journey up to Jerusalem (Luke 9. 22 and 44; 13. 33–34;18. 31–33) — a looming tragedy at once sets its frame around the whole of the proceedings. Even as these conclude Jesus identifies himself as the Suffering Servant of the later Isaiah; he is to be ‘reckoned with transgressors’ (Luke 22.

The following from the Episcopal Church in Connecticut. The installation of a new dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Hartford, in February provided the occasion to reaffirm and advance a 231-year relationship between the Episcopal Church in Connecticut and the Episcopal Church in Scotland that began with the consecration of Connecticut’s first bishop, Samuel Seabury, in Aberdeen in 1784. The Very Rev. Dr. Emsley Nimmo, Dean of the Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney, and the Very Rev. Dr. Isaac Poobalan, Provost and Rector of St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Aberdeen, attended the installation and seating of the Very Rev. Miguelina Howell as 10th Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, From left: Hartford, on February 18, 2016.

Robert Canon Belt was installed as an honorary Gillies, Bishop of the Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney. In a subsequent sermon, canon of St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Dean Nimmo spoke of how the unity of our dioceses - as spelled out in the Aberdeen in 2014. Concordate signed by the bishops in 1784 - is a bond of union in the Eucharist. “At the time of Seabury’s consecration, there was a concordat signed … declaring that we were to be in a “bond of union” with one another,” he said.

Over recent years the Diocese, especially through its charges and people, has made progress in working in partnership with others, in its development of being church for the North East and in its approach to specialist and newer forms of both mission and ministry. We believe that this provides a springboard for real developments for Christianity in the North East under the leadership of a new Bishop.
