We are glad you are here! Welcome!

We welcome our Presiding Bishop, the Most Rev’d Michael Curry, who is visiting our diocese for the frst time as Presiding Bishop. We welcome special guests from other Episcopal Dioceses, other Christian Churches, and other faith traditions. We welcome family and friends of Bishop Santosh Marray from around the world. And we welcome the faithful from the Diocese of Easton who have gathered to welcome their new bishop.

On this joyous occasion, please refrain from using fash photography during the service. Also, please turn off all electronic devices.

Seating for those with limited mobility is available. Please see an usher for assistance. Restrooms and a frst aid station are available in the lobby.

All are invited to a reception on the lawn following the service.

This liturgy was designed with the hopes of celebrating the fullest expression of who we are as the Diocese of Easton: some of us are Anglo-catholic, others are more Evangelical; some of us love classic Anglican hymnody, and some of us love the contemporary melodies of the modern Church. Some of us worship in English, and some of us worship in Spanish. This liturgy is a celebration of the God who has taken the many parts that make up this diocese and unifed them to serve as the Body of Christ on the Eastern Shore. We are especially grateful for the Hispanic presence in our diocese. In order to create a more inclusive and hospitable liturgy, parts of the service will be offered in Spanish.

A WORD ABOUT COMMUNION As a safeguard for those with gluten sensitivities, all communion wafers are gluten free in order to insure that the chalices do not become contaminated by gluten.

Two chalices will be available with non-alcoholic wine: the chalice on the far right on the lower level, and the chalice on the far right on the upper level. Please ask an usher to seat you in a seat near that communion station should you desire to communicate from the non-alcoholic chalice. The chalice on the left side of the Bishop or Priest serving the Body of Christ in those stations will be flled with wine.

We wish to thank all who have helped to make this liturgy possible, especially the staff of the Presiding Bishop’s Offce, the staff of Bishop Santosh’s offce - both in Alabama and here in Easton, the Transition Committee, the Standing Committee, the members of the joint choir, and all who are participating in the liturgy in various ways: numerous faithful clergy, the laity of our diocese and other friends who have contributed their time and gifts.

1 SAINT TERESA OF AVILA

Today the Church remembers the life and witness of St. Teresa of Avila, Discalced Carmelite, reformer and Doctor of the Church. Teresa was born in Avila, Spain. In her childhood she was fascinated by the lives of the Saints, especially the martyrs. When Teresa was 14, her mother died. Her father did his best to raise her but she was a diffcult teenager. Her worried father placed her in a Augustinian convent to be educated but illness ended her studies.

Teresa, having been infuenced by one of the Augustinian nuns, decided to enter the religious life. She chose the Convent of the Incarnation, a Carmelite convent in Avila, because she felt it was less strict than the Augustinians. Soon after her profession she became ill and went to stay with her family who could provide for her needs better than the convent where there were 180 nuns. When she returned, her Carmelite life of prayer deepened and her many mystical experiences began.

Teresa spent more than twenty years as a nun of the Convent of the Incarnation. She became convinced that a small group, no more than 13, could live a life following the Way of Life, given to the fathers of Carmel in the 13th century. Four women wanted to try such a life and St. Josephs was founded under Teresa’s guidance. Six months later she was allowed to join them. During the next 20 years she founded 17 more communities of nuns and several for men. This was the Carmelite reform.

Teresa taught that communities must remain small as it’s members must be “best friends,” that prayer was “spending time with the One who loves us.” She emphasized humility, love, and detachment as the way to union with the will of God.

At the request of her Confessor, Teresa wrote her autobiography. Later she wrote Way of Perfection at the request of her nuns. Her last book was The Interior Castle. Her many letters and books show her to be a practical organizer, a writer of native genius, a warm devoted friend, and above all a lover of and the beloved of God.

During Communion, we will sing a Taize chant which contains the words of one of her most well known prayers: Nada te turbe, nada te espante; quien a Dios tiene nada le falta. Sólo Dios basta. Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you, everything passes away, but God remains.

THE EPISCOPAL CARMEL OF ST. TERESA

The Monastery of the Episcopal Carmel of St. Teresa, located in Rising Sun, Maryland, is a contemplative community for women in the Episcopal Church rooted in the Carmelite charism, founded by Sister Teresa Irene, the Prioress of the community. The Carmel is comprised of nuns who feel called to live lives set apart in quiet and solitude, completely devoted to prayer, and oblates who feel called to embrace the Carmelite ideals, as taught by St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross, in their lives lived in the world. We are grateful for their ministry of prayer and their presence among us in this diocese.

A Reading from the Prophet Isaiah

The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners; to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to provide for those who mourn in Zion — to give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit. They will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, to display his glory. They shall build up the ancient ruins, they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. Strangers shall stand and feed your focks, foreigners shall till your land and dress your vines; but you shall be called priests of the Lord, you shall be named ministers of our God; you shall enjoy the wealth of the nations, and in their riches you shall glory. Because their shame was double, and dishonour was proclaimed as their lot, therefore they shall possess a double portion; everlasting joy shall be theirs. For I the Lord love justice, I hate robbery and wrongdoing; I will faithfully give them their recompense, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

El Espíritu del Señor omnipotente está sobre mí, por cuanto me ha ungido para anunciar buenas nuevas a los pobres. Me ha enviado a sanar los corazones heridos, a proclamar liberación a los cautivos y libertad a los prisioneros, a pregonar el año del favor del y el día de la venganza de nuestro Dios, a consolar a todos los que están de duelo, y a confortar a los dolientes de Sión. Me ha enviado a darles una corona en vez de cenizas, aceite de alegría en vez de luto, traje de festa en vez de espíritu de desaliento. Serán llamados robles de justicia, plantío del Señor, para mostrar su gloria. Reconstruirán las ruinas antiguas, y restaurarán los escombros de antaño; repararán las ciudades en ruinas, y los escombros de muchas generaciones. Gente extraña pastoreará los rebaños de ustedes, y sus campos y viñedos serán labrados por un pueblo extranjero. Pero a ustedes los llamarán «sacerdotes del Señor»; les dirán «ministros de nuestro Dios». Se alimentarán de las riquezas de las naciones, y se jactarán de los tesoros de ellas. En vez de su vergüenza, mi pueblo recibirá doble porción;

19 The recognition and investiture of a Bishop diocesan en vez de deshonra, se regocijará en su herencia; y así en su tierra recibirá doble herencia, y su alegría será eterna. «Yo, el Señor, amo la justicia, pero odio el robo y la iniquidad. En mi fdelidad los recompensaré y haré con ellos un pacto eterno.

The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God. Psalm 37:3-6, 32-33

Remain seated to sing 3 Put your trust in the LORD and do good; * dwell in the land and feed on its riches. 4 Take delight in the LORD, * and he shall give you your heart’s de-sire. 5 Commit your way to the LORD and put your trust in him, * and he will bring it to pass. 6 He will make your righteousness as clear as the light * and your just dealing as the noonday. 32 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, * and their tongue speaks what is right. 33 The law of their God is in their heart, * and their footsteps shall not falter.

A Reading from the Letter to the Ephesians 3:14-21 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be flled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Word of the Lord

People Thanks be to God.

Por esta razón me arrodillo delante del Padre, de quien recibe nombre toda familia en el cielo y en la tierra. Le pido que, por medio del Espíritu y con el poder que procede de sus gloriosas riquezas, los fortalezca a ustedes en lo íntimo de su ser, para que por fe Cristo habite en sus corazones. Y pido que, arraigados y cimentados en amor, puedan comprender, junto con todos los santos, cuán ancho y largo, alto y profundo es el amor de Cristo; en fn, que conozcan ese amor que sobrepasa nuestro conocimiento, para que sean llenos de la plenitud de Dios. Al que puede hacer muchísimo más que todo lo que podamos imaginarnos o pedir, por el poder que obra efcazmente en nosotros, ¡a él sea la gloria en la iglesia y en Cristo Jesús por todas las generaciones, por los siglos de los siglos!

john 15: 9-17

As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.

Así como el Padre me ha amado a mí, también yo los he amado a ustedes. Permanezcan en mi amor. Si obedecen mis mandamientos, permanecerán en mi amor, así como yo he obedecido los mandamientos de mi Padre y permanezco en su amor. Les he dicho esto para que tengan mi alegría y así su alegría sea completa. Y éste es mi mandamiento: que se amen los unos a los otros, como yo los he amado. Nadie tiene amor más grande que el dar la vida por sus amigos. Ustedes son mis amigos si hacen lo que yo les mando. Ya no los llamo siervos, porque el siervo no está al tanto de lo que hace su amo; los he llamado amigos, porque todo lo que a mi Padre le oí decir se lo he dado a conocer a ustedes. No me escogieron ustedes a mí, sino que yo los escogí a ustedes y los comisioné para que vayan y den fruto, un fruto que perdure. Así el Padre les dará todo lo que le pidan en mi nombre. Éste es mi mandamiento: que se amen los unos a los otros.

The Examination

All now sit, except for the bishop-elect who stands facing the examining bishops.

The Presiding Bishop addresses the bishop-elect.

My brother, the people have chosen you and have affrmed their trust in you by acclaiming your election. A bishop in God’s holy Church is called to be one with the apostles in proclaiming Christ’s resurrection and interpreting the Gospel, and to testify to Christ’s sovereignty as Lord of lords and King of kings. You are called to guard the faith, unity, and discipline of the Church; to celebrate and to provide for the administration of the sacraments of the New Covenant; to ordain priests and deacons and to join in ordaining bishops; and to be in all things a faithful pastor and wholesome example for the entire fock of Christ. With your fellow bishops you will share in the leadership of the Church throughout the world. Your heritage is the faith of patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and those of every generation who have looked to God in hope. Your joy will be to follow him who came, not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many. I ask you now to reaffrm the promises made when you were ordained a Bishop.

The following questions are then addressed to the bishop by other bishops

Bishop Will you accept this call and fulfll this trust in obedience to Christ? Answer I will obey Christ, and will serve in his name.

Bishop Will you be faithful in prayer, and in the study of Holy Scripture, that you may have the mind of Christ? Answer I will, for he is my help.

Bishop Will you boldly proclaim and interpret the Gospel of Christ, enlightening the minds and stirring up the conscience of your people? Answer I will, in the power of the Spirit.

Bishop As a chief priest and pastor, will you encourage and support all baptized people in their gifts and ministries, nourish them from the riches of God’s grace, pray for them without ceasing, and celebrate with them the sacraments of our redemption? Answer I will, in the name of Christ, the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls.

25 The recognition and investiture of a Bishop diocesan

Bishop Will you guard the faith, unity, and discipline of the Church? Answer I will, for the love of God.

Bishop Will you share with your fellow bishops in the government of the whole Church; will you sustain your fellow presbyters and take counsel with them; will you guide and strengthen the deacons and all others who minister in the Church?

Answer I will, by the grace given me.

Bishop Will you be merciful to all, show compassion to the poor and strangers, and defend those who have no helper? Answer I will, for the sake of Christ Jesus.

All stand. The Presiding Bishop then says Santosh, through these promises you have committed yourself to God, to serve his Church in the offce of bishop of Easton, We therefore call upon you, chosen to be a guardian of the Church’s faith, to lead us in confessing that faith.

In honor of our ecumenical relationships, we recite the Creed in the form in which it was recited by the undivided Church.

Bishop-elect We believe in one God.

Then all say together We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation

26 The recognition and investiture of a Bishop diocesan

he came down from heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucifed under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorifed. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Investiture

All stand to sing as the bishop kneels before the altar.

A period of silence follows, the people still standing.

In all things may he present before you the acceptable offering of a pure, and gentle, and holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and power and glory in the Church, now and for ever. The People in a loud voice respond Amen.

The Presiding Bishop anoints the crown of the Bishop’s head and says May God, who anointed the Christ with the Holy Spirit at his baptism, anoint and empower you to bring good news to the poor, to proclaim release of captives, to set free those who are oppressed and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. Amen.

The Presiding Bishop now stands and says My brother, you have been recognized as a bishop of the Church and as bishop of this Diocese. Now I, Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop, and with the consent of those who have chosen you, do recognize you, Santosh Marray, as Bishop of Easton, with all the temporal and spiritual rights and responsibilities that pertain to that offce; in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Bishop is presented with the vestments, the Vesters say, Santosh, receive these vestments, the garments of humility. May our Lord Jesus Christ, who said, “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light,” give you grace so to help others to bear the burdens of this life, that your ministry may be a sign to all people of the generosity and gentleness of the kingdom that is to come. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

29 The recognition and investiture of a Bishop diocesan

The Bishop is presented with a Pectoral Cross as the Vesters say, Santosh, receive this pectoral cross, the sign of our salvation. May Christ give you grace to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow him, that you may meet him when he comes in glory. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The ring is placed on the Bishop’s fnger as the Vesters say, Santosh, receive this ring, the sign of your fdelity. With faith and love protect and defend God’s people. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The Bishop is presented with the Pastoral Staff by The Rt. Rev. Henry Nutt Parsley, with the following words, Santosh, receive this staff, the symbol of your pastoral ministry. May you always be on the move, keeping watch over the whole fock of which the Holy Spirit has anointed you a shepherd. Encourage the faithful, restore the lost, care for all, and build up the Body of Christ. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Then the Presiding Bishop presents the Bible, saying, Santosh, receive the Holy Scriptures. Feed the fock of Christ committed to your charge, guard and defend them in his truth, and be a faithful steward of his holy Word and Sacraments.

The Presiding Bishop presents to the People their Bishop and his family members. The Clergy and People offer their acclamation and applause. Bells are rung and trumpets sound. the peace Bishop The Peace of the Lord be always with you. People And also with you

Then the celebrant continues

We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made fesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”

After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”

33 The recognition and investiture of a Bishop diocesan

Therefore, according to his command, O Father,

Celebrant and People We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;

The Celebrant continues And we offer our sacrifce of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine. We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifce, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctifed by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with the Ever-Blessed Virgin Mary, Peter, Paul, Barnabas, Teresa and all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the frstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation. By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN.
