Attendant material (weekday propers for Advent, Christmas, Lent, and the Easter Season, and the six-week and two-year Eucharistic lectionaries) may be found in Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2006 and in Weekday Eucharistic Propers, both available from Church Publishing Incorporated.

Church Publishing 19 East 34th Street New York, NY 10016 www.churchpublishing.org Typeset by Linda Brooks ISBN-13: 978-1-64065-234-7 (pbk.) ISBN-13: 978-1-64065-235-4 (ebook) iv A Note from the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music In 2015, following the 78th General Convention, the Standing Commission on Liturgy Music was asked to “receive and evaluate requests for consideration of individuals or groups to be included in the Calendar of the Church year and make recommendations thereon to the General Convention for acceptance or rejection.” This mandate from General Convention followed the provision for trial use, during previous triennia, of the volume Holy Women, Holy Men. The SCLM prepared a new volume, A Great Cloud of Witnesses, which was intended as a replacement for Holy Women, Holy Men. This new text was designed to reflect a broader inclusion of individuals in the Calendar. However, the 78th General Convention declined to authorize A Great Cloud of Witnesses, directing instead that the resource only be “made available” to the Church. What is the difference between a text being made available and being authorized? Lesser Feasts and Fasts was authorized for use throughout the Church in 1979. Subsequently, additional commemorations were approved by several General Conventions for trial use and then given a second reading for full inclusion in the Calendar. These commemorations then become a part of the Calendar of the Church Year. This action constitutes the volume being authorized for use; it has canonical standing and may be used throughout the Episcopal Church. However, if a text is made available, by action of General Convention, it has no official authorization for use, and may not necessarily be given canonical authority. We recognize that this distinction may be confusing to the Church. v During the last triennium, to provide a less ambiguous canonical authority for the Calendar, and to fulfill the mandate of General Convention, the SCLM worked at a revision of the Calendar. As with A Great Cloud of Witnesses, we hoped that this Calendar would reflect the diversity of the Church. We understood that this work was critical; our diversity as a Church is one of our great strengths. Welcoming commemorations of those who look like, talk like, and live like us in our diversity gives new ways of hearing the Gospel, and new ways for us to speak Gospel in the world. Remembering a more diverse company of saints gives us new stories by which to live, new ways to understand the world around us, and new ministries to take up in the world. The result is this volume: Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018. This volume, along with the commemorations and feasts of our Lord in the Book of Common Prayer, comprise the authorized Calendar given to the Church for use in the current triennium, from the end of the 79th General Convention through the 80th General Convention in 2021. It includes all of the commemorations from Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2006. As with previous editions of Lesser Feasts and Fasts, this volume is “for optional use throughout the church.” These commemorations may be used at weekday Eucharistic celebrations, at the Daily Office, or for private devotion, though the lectionary readings for each commemoration are intended to be used at the Eucharist, and not the Daily Office. In this volume, the following typographic conventions are used to distinguish certain dates. All feasts of our Lord and major feasts are titled in CAPITAL letters; commemorations from the 2006 edition of Lesser Feasts and Fasts are in capital/lowercase letters; commemorations for trial use are in [square brackets]; names changed because of monastic vocation are in (rounded brackets). This volume is an interim step; the 79th General Convention instructed the SCLM to “provide the 80th General Convention with a clear and unambiguous plan for a singular Calendar of Lesser Feasts and Fasts.” We look forward to fulfilling this mandate. —Paul Fromberg, Chair, SCLM vi Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response. vii viii The Calendar of the Church Year 1 2 The Calendar of the Church Year The Church Year consists of two cycles of feasts and holy days: one is dependent upon the movable date of the Sunday of the Resurrection or Easter Day; the other, upon the fixed date of December 25, the Feast of our Lord’s Nativity or Christmas Day. Easter Day is always the first Sunday after the full moon that falls on or after March 21. It cannot occur before March 22 or after April 25. The sequence of all Sundays of the Church Year depends upon the date of Easter Day. But the Sundays of Advent are always the four Sundays before Christmas Day, whether it occurs on a Sunday or a weekday. The date of Easter also determines the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday, and the feast of the Ascension on a Thursday forty days after Easter Day. 1. Principal Feasts The Principal Feasts observed in this Church are the following: Easter Day All Saints’ Day, November 1 Ascension Day Christmas Day, December 25 The Day of Pentecost The Epiphany, January 6 Trinity Sunday These feasts take precedence of any other day or observance. All Saints’ Day may always be observed on the Sunday following November 1, in addition to its observance on the fixed date. Calendar 3 2. Sundays All Sundays of the year are feasts of our Lord Jesus Christ. In addition to the dated days listed above, only the following feasts, appointed on fixed days, take precedence of a Sunday: The Holy Name The Presentation The Transfiguration The feast of the Dedication of a Church, and the feast of its patron or title, may be observed on, or be transferred to, a Sunday, except in the seasons of Advent, Lent, and Easter. All other Feasts of our Lord, and all other Major Feasts appointed on fixed days in the Calendar, when they occur on a Sunday, are normally transferred to the first convenient open day within the week. When desired, however, the Collect, Preface, and one or more of the Lessons appointed for the Feast may be substituted for those of the Sunday, but not from the Last Sunday after Pentecost through the First Sunday after the Epiphany, or from the Last Sunday after the Epiphany through Trinity Sunday. With the express permission of the bishop, and for urgent and sufficient reason, some other special occasion may be observed on a Sunday. 3. Holy Days The following Holy Days are regularly observed throughout the year. Unless otherwise ordered in the preceding rules concerning Sundays, they have precedence over all other days of commemoration or of special observance: Other Feasts of our Lord The Holy Name Saint John the Baptist The Presentation The Transfiguration The Annunciation Holy Cross Day The Visitation 4 Calendar Other Major Feasts All feasts of Apostles Saint Mary the Virgin All feasts of Evangelists Saint Michael and All Angels Saint Stephen Saint James of Jerusalem The Holy Innocents Independence Day Saint Joseph Thanksgiving Day Saint Mary Magdalene Fasts Ash Wednesday Good Friday Feasts appointed on fixed days in the Calendar are not observed on the days of Holy Week or of Easter Week.

  • The Dean and the Deanery
    7 DIOCESE OF EAST ANGLIA Diocesan policy on THE DEANERY AND THE ROLE OF THE DEAN THE DEANERY How is the universal Catholic Church structured? The whole people of God is a communion of dioceses, each entrusted to the pastoral leadership and care of a bishop. The diocese is then ‘divided into distinct parts or parishes’ (Code of Canon Law, 374.1). Each parish is by nature an integral part of the diocese. What then is a deanery? ‘To foster pastoral care by means of common action, several neighbouring parishes can be joined together in special groupings, such as deaneries’ (Code of Canon Law, 374.2). Each deanery is led by a Dean appointed by the bishop to act in his name. In a scattered diocese such as ours, with many small parishes, working together in deaneries can be very fruitful, not only for the mutual support and care of the clergy, but also for pastoral and spiritual collaboration at local level. In each deanery, there are to be regular meetings of the clergy, priests and deacons, diocesan and religious, of that grouping of parishes. All are expected to attend such meetings and participate as fully as possible in deanery life and work. In each deanery, there are to be regular meetings of lay representatives of each parish with all the clergy of the deanery, so as to facilitate active participation by lay people in local pastoral action and decision-making. The following norms for the role of the Dean came into effect from 21 November 2003. THE ROLE OF THE DEAN 1.

  • The Life of St. Bartholomew
    The Life of St. Bartholomew BARTHOLOMEW, a Galilean, was one of the twelve apostles. His name is most probably not a given name, but a family name. He is listed among the twelve apostles in the three synoptic gospels: Matthew, Mark and Luke. He also appears as one of the witnesses of the Ascension (Acts 1:4, 12, 13). He is generally supposed to be the same person as Nathanael. In the synoptic gospels, Philip and Bartholomew are always mentioned together, while Nathanael is never mentioned; in the gospel of John, on the other hand, Philip and Nathanael are similarly mentioned together, but nothing is said of Bartholomew. Also in John, Nathanael is introduced as a friend of Philip. Eusebius of Caesarea's Ecclesiastical History states that after the Ascension, Bartholomew went on a missionary tour to India, which Jacobus de Voragine, Archbishop of Genoa wrote in 1275, “is the end of the world.” According to legend, he lived in a temple of the idol, Astaroth, and healed people in Jesus' name of all manner of illnesses which the local priests were only able to “make better for a while.” When the sick then went to another temple for healing, they were told that when Bartholomew, the apostle of God, entered the temple, the idol was “bound with chains of fire” which prevented it from acting. Legend says that the devil reported to his followers, “if ye find him, ye pray him that he come not hither, that his angels do not to me as they have done to my fellow.” According to de Voragine, Bartholomew wore the same white coat and white mantle for twenty-six years and “his clothes never waxed old [nor] foul.” He was reported to pray a hundred times by day and a hundred times by night.

  • © 2013 Yi-Ling Lin
    © 2013 Yi-ling Lin CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT IN MISSIONARY CHINA: AMERICAN MISSIONARY NOVELS 1880-1930 BY YI-LING LIN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral committee: Professor Waïl S. Hassan, Chair Professor Emeritus Leon Chai, Director of Research Professor Emeritus Michael Palencia-Roth Associate Professor Robert Tierney Associate Professor Gar y G. Xu Associate Professor Rania Huntington, University of Wisconsin at Madison Abstract From a comparative standpoint, the American Protestant missionary enterprise in China was built on a paradox in cross-cultural encounters. In order to convert the Chinese—whose religion they rejected—American missionaries adopted strategies of assimilation (e.g. learning Chinese and associating with the Chinese) to facilitate their work. My dissertation explores how American Protestant missionaries negotiated the rejection-assimilation paradox involved in their missionary work and forged a cultural identification with China in their English novels set in China between the late Qing and 1930. I argue that the missionaries’ novelistic expression of that identification was influenced by many factors: their targeted audience, their motives, their work, and their perceptions of the missionary enterprise, cultural difference, and their own missionary identity. Hence, missionary novels may not necessarily be about conversion, the missionaries’ primary objective but one that suggests their resistance to Chinese culture, or at least its religion. Instead, the missionary novels I study culminate in a non-conversion theme that problematizes the possibility of cultural assimilation and identification over ineradicable racial and cultural differences.

    In the Morning Wednesday, June 2, 2021 Blandina and Her Companions, the Martyrs of Lyons, 177 Welcome Opening Prayer Almighty God, who gave such courage and endurance to Blandina and her companions that by their deaths many hearts were turned to you; Grant that we, in accordance with their example, may also gladly endure all that is required of us as we witness to you in our own day; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Dwelling in the Word: Psalm 126 1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, * then were we like those who dream. 2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, * and our tongue with shouts of joy. 3 Then they said among the nations, * "The Lord has done great things for them." 4 The Lord has done great things for us, * and we are glad indeed. 5 Restore our fortunes, O Lord, * like the watercourses of the Negev. 6 Those who sowed with tears * will reap with songs of joy. 7 Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, * will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves. As you hear the passage being read, what word or phrase is God calling you to notice? As you hear the passage read a second time, what might God be calling you to try on at this time?

  • I. the Easter Vigil II. Holy Days of Obligation III. Special Celebrations for Dioceses and Parishes IV
    Liturgical Calendar Notes I. The Easter Vigil II. Holy Days of Obligation III. Special Celebrations for Dioceses and Parishes IV. Rogation Day Prayer Service The Easter Vigil The first Mass of Easter, the Easter Vigil, falls between nightfall of Holy Saturday and daybreak of Easter Sunday. The General Norms for the Liturgical Year and the Calendar, no 21, states: The Easter Vigil, during the holy night when Christ rose from the dead, ranks as the “mother of all vigils.” Keeping watch, the Church awaits Christ’s resurrection and celebrates it in the sacraments. Accordingly, the entire celebration of this vigil should take place at night, that is, it should either begin after nightfall or end before the dawn of Sunday. Individual parishes can check the following website to determine nightfall in their area: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.html On this website, nightfall is listed as “End civil twilight.” Liturgical Calendar Notes 1 Holy Days of Obligation On December 13, 1991 the members of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops of the United States of American made the following general decree concerning holy days of obligation for Latin rite Catholics: In addition to Sunday, the days to be observed as holy days of obligation in the Latin Rite dioceses of the United States of America, in conformity with canon 1246, are as follows: January 1, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Thursday of the Sixth Week of Easter, the solemnity of the Ascension (observed on the 7th Sunday of Easter in Kentucky Dioceses) August 15, the solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary November 1, the solemnity of All Saints December 8, the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception December 25, the solemnity of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ Whenever January 1, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, or August 15, the solemnity of the Assumption, or November 1, the solemnity of All Saints, falls on a Saturday or on a Monday, the precept to attend Mass is abrogated.
