St. George’s to Auction Signed Book of Common Prayer Dear Friends, St. George’s Episcopal School in New Orleans is auctioning a very special Book of Common Prayer at its 25th Annual Soiree and Auction on February 23. This new 1662 edition was signed by the Most Reverend Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, during his recent trip to New Orleans, and by the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, the Most Reverend Katharine Jefferts Schori. It is also signed by the Right Reverend Charles Jenkins, 10th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana. Bishop Jenkins ob- tained the book and acquired the sig- natures for donation to St. George’s School Parents Group. The old and well-loved prayer book of the Church of England, has been in use since the 16th century. In this revised 1662 version, it has become one of the classic texts of the English language, its prayers and expres- sions making English what it is today. Cambridge’s new editions of the book have been freshly typeset for the 21st century, using a modern digital type- face to provide a clear printing image and greater readability. Nevertheless the format and page layout of this [photo by Angela Kellum] book follow its predecessor (originally produced in the early 20th century) The Book of Common Prayer signed by the Most Rev’d Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop page for page.

    THE Retirement Issue [IVING CHURCH. - . ~· cz;~ ~E EXTRAORDINAR Y VISION. ~ ision that was to become Vicar's Landing ~ ::.:Oated from a statement made in a sermon given by The Reverend Dr. James H. Cooper, then Rector of Christ Episcopal Church, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. On Pentecost Sunday, 1982, The Rev. Cooper suggested that retired residents of Ponte Vedra Beach had no community in the area where they could live in security, dignity and have the resort lifestyle to which they had become accustomed . That vision has now been realized as evidenced by the growth of Vicar'sLanding and more recently, Glenmoor in World Golf Village near St. Augustine, FL. Both Glenmoor and Vicar's Landing are setting new standards for what life care can be. The elegant residences, both apartments and homes, are nestled on spacious landscaped grounds in lovely resort settings. Each campus was designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. With all the amenities, activities and services, the pleasures and privileges of retirement at its very best are evident every day. Because of the vision of 1982, you can experience this lifestyle now.

Bishop Jenkins has provided tremendous leadership for our diocese — particularly in the wake of a series of devastating hurricanes. He has also been active in the national church and the House of Bishops. He is widely loved and respected in our diocese among both clergy and laity — he will be sorely missed. Our diocese has been through trying times. We have been washed away by the floods, and blown away by hurricane force winds. We have been on the Jericho Road, dependent on help from the generous Samaritan.

  • The Anglican Communion and the Globalization of Dissent Dissertation Written by Dr
    Episcopal Dissidents, African Allies: The Anglican Communion and the Globalization of Dissent Dissertation written by Dr. Miranda K. Hassett [email protected] For the Department of Anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill May 2004 Please do not cite in print without author’s consent. A revised and shortened version of this text is under contract for publication with Princeton University Press. Reproduced online through http://anglicanhistory.org, January 2006. 1 Abstract In recent years, conservative dissidents within the Episcopal Church in the United States have felt alienated by the Episcopal Church’s liberal policies, especially acceptance of homosexuality. In response, these Episcopal dissidents have increasingly sought and received help and support from Anglican bishops in the global South (Africa, Asia, and Latin America). In this dissertation, the development and dynamics of these transnational Anglican alliances are examined anthropologically, on the basis of ethnographic research with Anglican communities involved in such relationships in Uganda and the United States. These relationships are often explained, by both supporters and critics, through narratives of increased global conflict between liberal Northern Christianity and conservative Southern Christianity (with which conservative Northerners are said to have a natural affinity). This work questions such narratives, first, by presenting the situations, concerns, and motives of the Northern and Southern Anglicans involved and calling into question assumptions
