    1857: the Mission to Furnish Means for Episcopal Seminarians

    1857: The Mission to Furnish Means for Episcopal Seminarians “The more things change the more they stay the same” might well serve as the appropriate motto for the Society for the Increase of the Ministry as it marks the 150th anniversary of its founding. SIM currently has set a course for the 21st century that requires unprecedented change in its organization and structure in order to remain faithful to its original and same purpose set forth at its founding in 1857: “The object of this corporation shall be to furnish means for the education of candidates for holy orders in the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States.” “The Episcopal Church’s membership stood at about 400,000 in 1857 and would experience significant growth in numbers and geographical dispersion in the latter 19th century.” The need for dedicated, trained and educated ordained leaders of the Church in 2007 remains the same as in 1857, but the circumstances have changed dramatically. The United States during the term of President James Buchanan was heading for the country’s greatest crisis that would erupt into a bloody and fractious war in 1860. The frontier still beckoned settlers to fill the vast spaces that would be defended by Native Americans for several more decades. The Civil War would unleash a new wave of economic development and industrialization and the country would soon be tied together in a new way with the trans-continental railroad. Millions of immigrants would flock to our shores.A nation of 32 million has grown to the 300 million of 2006.

    James Theodore Holly (1829 - 1911)

    February 24, 2013 Bulletin St Stephen’s Episcopal Church Celebrates Black History Month 2013 James Theodore Holly (1829 - 1911) The Right Reverend James Theodore Holly was born in Washington, D.C. on October 3, 1829. He would become the first African-American Bishop in the Episcopal Church and serve as Bishop of Haiti from 1874 until his death in 1911. James Theodore Holly was descended from freed slaves as well as slave-owners. His great- great-grandfather was a Scotsman who freed several of his slaves in 1772, including his son (who would later become Bishop Holly’s great-grandfather). James was well-educated in both public and private schools as well as by tutors. As a youth in Washington, DC and Brooklyn, Holly connected with Frederick Douglas and other prominent abolitionists. Although Holly was baptized and raised in the Roman Catholic Church, but due to a dispute over the ordination of black clergy, he left the Roman Catholic Church and joined the Episcopal Church in 1851 (at age 21). He married Charlotte Holly and they moved to Windsor, Canada, where a young Holly helped former slave Henry Bibb, edit his newspaper, Voice of the Fugitive. In 1856 Holly was ordained a priest in New Haven, Connecticut. That same year he co-founded the Protestant Episcopal Society for Promoting the Extension of the Church Among Colored People, which challenged the Church to take a position at General Convention against slavery. Holly served as rector at St Luke’s Church in New Haven, Connecticut until 1861. Work in Haiti Even as he continued his religious activities, Reverend Holly was increasingly drawn toward emigration, believing that African Americans had no future in the United States.

Refugee in New England James C.

This ageless town father (permanent Fire Chief, Rescue Squad captain, trash collector, and problem-solver) — whose grandfather once owned the rugged ocean-side pasture land which developers now sell for over a hundred thousand per acre — shook his grizzled head in disbelief. "Jesus," he said, "and I thought you folks were natives by now." Natives. I stood there silent for a while after he pulled away in his pickup, gazing into the pines and listening to the distant surf. Natives. The word, the accolade, slowly sank into me. That made us Truro people, Outer Cape people rooted in the first place the Pil- grims had tried going ashore.

    Ian T. Douglas: Our Job Is Not to Keep the Church in Business

    MISSIONS & EVANGELISM Ian T. Douglas: Our job is not to keep the church in business Image courtesy of Episcopal Church in Connecticut The Episcopal bishop of Connecticut says his role is prodding, challenging, inviting and encouraging the faithful to ask the question, “What is God up to in the neighborhood?” TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2018 As bishop of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut, the Rt. Rev. Ian T. Douglas takes seriously his administrative duties. But, he says, he also enjoys “throwing all things up in the air, causing chaos, inviting imagination and encouraging folk, particularly by virtue of their baptism.” Specifically, he points to efforts, at both the diocesan and the parish level, to send Christians out into the world, open to the work of the Spirit. “How do we join in that faithfully, and what does it mean to be a disciple, a follower of Jesus today, who is sent into the world as an apostle to join God in God’s mission?” he said. Douglas, who was elected bishop in 2009, serves approximately 168 parishes and faith communities in the state of Connecticut. Prior to that, he was the Angus Dun Professor of Mission and World Christianity at Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He earned an M.Div. from Harvard Divinity School and a Ph.D. in missiology from Boston University. Douglas spoke with Faith & Leadership while at Duke for the 2018 Convocation & Pastors’ School. The following is an edited transcript. Q: As a missiologist and a theologian, how do you understand the mission of God in the world? You’re beginning at the right place, because I think too often particularly those of us in church leadership begin with, “What is the mission of the church?” rather than, “What is the mission of God?” Speaking as a Christian, understanding that the mission of God comes from the narrative given to us in Scripture, that God out of God’s love created the universe and all creation, and it was good, as Scripture tells us.
