    Canticle Sung at 10 am. Henry Aldritch (1647-1710) Hymn 26 Sung at 6 pm. O gracious Light (Conditor alme siderum) 2 v Canticle season after pentecost at Trinity Church Boston Welcome to the season after Pentecost at Trinity Church We are so glad you are here to pray with us today. This booklet will be your guide for Sunday worship here through the summer. We are now in the longest liturgical season of the year: the time of the formation of the church. Having walked and prayed and sung—through the Advent of Jesus, the Epiphany manifestations of God in Christ, the penitential pilgrimage of preparation in Lent, the intensity of the Passion in Holy Week, and the joyous season of the mystery of the resurrection in Eastertide—we come now to the time where we, the Lord’s people, are learning to be the body of Christ. At Trinity, we mark the liturgical seasons with predictable variations. For the summer, the congregation and summer choirs will speak the psalms and sing the Sanctus, Lord’s Prayer, and Agnus Dei (which can be found on the back cover) together. And always, please sing the hymns with courage! You’ll find the psalms on the scripture insert, handed out each Sunday. The hymns are found in the blue Hymnal. Please stand and sing for all hymns. The prayer for the Eucharist is found in the Book of Common Prayer. The order of service and music selections for each Sunday may be found on the page for the day. This booklet is designed to be reused each week.

    22nd Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Prayer Breakfast The San Francisco Interfaith Council Celebrating 30 Years of Interfaith Collaboration in San Francisco Tuesday, November 26, 2019 7:00 am – 9:00 am Hotel Kabuki, San Francisco Honoring Rita R. Semel with the San Francisco Interfaith Council’s Lifetime Achievement Award Welcome to the 22nd Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Prayer Breakfast The San Francisco Interfaith Council welcomes you to the 22nd Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Prayer Breakfast. The Council exists to serve and give voice to our City’s 800 congregations, their respective judicatories, and the faith-based social service agencies that provide the safety net for San Francisco’s most vulnerable residents. The Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Prayer Breakfast is our major event of the year, when representatives of the faith community, civic leaders and residents come together to give thanks for the gifts bestowed on our City and to pray for the well being of all of our residents. Each year at this breakfast, we shine the spotlight on the important contributions the religious community makes to the life of San Francisco. This year we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC). A little known fact is that the SFIC was born as a result of the Loma Prieta earthquake. Just a year earlier, at the behest of Mayor Art Agnos, religious leaders responded to the burgeoning homeless crisis by initiating the Interfaith Winter Shelter, which just commenced its 31st year of feeding and sheltering 60-100 homeless people from November 24th through the end of March. Those same religious leaders were invited to a meeting at Calvary Presbyterian Church in the aftermath of the Loma Prieta earthquake to assist the humanitarian aid organization, Church World Service, in distributing vital funds to the most vulnerable residents displaced by the earthquake.

Y\5$ In History by James Harvey Mitchell, Jr. San Francisco, California May, 2016 Copyright by James Harvey Mitchell, Jr. 2016 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read The Gargoyles of San Francisco: Medievalist Architecture in Northern California 1900-1940 by James Harvey Mitchell, Jr., and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in History at San Francisco State University. <2 . d. rbel Rodriguez, lessor of History Philip Dreyfus Professor of History THE GARGOYLES OF SAN FRANCISCO: MEDIEVALIST ARCHITECTURE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA 1900-1940 James Harvey Mitchell, Jr. San Francisco, California 2016 After the fire and earthquake of 1906, the reconstruction of San Francisco initiated a profusion of neo-Gothic churches, public buildings and residential architecture. This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.

    LONG NOTES GEORGE WINSTON LINUS AND LUCY – THE MUSIC OF VINCE GUARALDI – VOL. 1: George Winston on Vince Guaraldi (Vince’s name is pronounced “Gurr-al-dee”, beginning with a hard “G) “Vince Guaraldi once said that he wanted to write standards, not just hits, and that he did,” says George Winston. “His music is very much a part of the fabric of American culture, but not many people know the man behind the music, and it is unusual for someone’s music to be better known than their name (some other composers who have also been in this situation are Allen Toussaint, Randy Newman (in the early and mid 1960s), Joni Mitchell (in the mid 1960s), Leonard Cohen (in the mid-1960s), Laura Nyro, Percy Mayfield, Otis Blackwell, and Wendy Waldman). If I play Linus & Lucy and other Vince Guaraldi Peanuts pieces for most kids they will usually say right away, ‘That’s Charlie Brown music’. Vince’s soundtracks for the first 16 of the Peanuts animations from the 1960s & 1970s continue to delight millions of people around the world, and many of his albums remain in print. I like to help make the connection for people that Vince Guaraldi was a great jazz pianist, and that he was the composer of the soundtracks for the first 16 of the Peanuts animation, as well as of many other great jazz pieces. Vince’s best known standards are Cast Your Fate to the Wind, Linus and Lucy, Christmas Time is Here, as well as Skating, and Christmas is Coming. A lot of Vince’s music is seasonal, and it reminds me very much of my upbringing in Montana.

  • Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship
    Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship Letter Voluntati obsequens to bishops, accompanying the booklet Jubilate Deo, 14 April 1974 Pope Paul VI has expressed often, and even recently, the wish that the faithful of all countries be able to sing at least a few Gregorian chants in Latin (for example, the Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei)1 In compliance, this Congregation has prepared the enclosed booklet Jubilate Deo, which provides a short collection of such Gregorian chants. I have the honour and office of sending you a copy of this booklet as a gift from the Pope himself. I also take this occasion to commend to your own pastoral concerns this new measure intended to ensure the carrying out of the prescription of Vatican Council II: ‘Steps should be taken enabling the faithful to say or to sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass belonging to them.’2 Whenever the faithful pray together as a community, they show at once the complex diversity of a people gathered ‘from every tribe, language, and nation’ and their unity in faith and charity. The diversity stands out in the many languages lawfully used in the liturgy and in the song settings suited to those languages. The languages and songs convey the religious spirit of each particular people, along with the identical teachings of faith; the different types of music correspond to the culture and traditions of each people. The unity of faith, on the other hand, stands out in a marked manner through the use of Latin and Gregorian chant.
