The Holy Eucharist the Seventh Sunday of Easter: the Sunday After Ascension Day and Anglican Communion Sunday The Holy Eucharist The Seventh Sunday of Easter: The Sunday after Ascension Day and Anglican Communion Sunday May 13, 2018 11:15 am Washington National Cathedral Anglican Communion Sunday Today, Washington National Cathedral celebrates being part of the Anglican Communion, one of the world’s largest and most diverse Christian communities. While the word “Anglican” originates in ecclesia anglicana, a medieval Latin phrase dating to at least 1246 a.d. and meaning the “English Church,” the tradition has been adopted around the world over the past two centuries. The Communion is a global family with over 500 cultures and ways of looking at the world. Eighty-five million people in over 165 countries call themselves Anglicans, and between them they speak more than 2,000 languages. The Communion is spread across 39 autonomous churches, which are all in communion/reciprocal relationship with the Archbishop of Canterbury, currently The Most Reverend Justin Welby, who is the Communion’s spiritual head. We welcome as our guest preacher today, The Very Reverend Dr. Robert Willis, Dean of Canterbury Cathedral, the Mother Church of the Communion. Washington National Cathedral and Canterbury Cathedral have a long history and warm relationship. One special connection is the Cathedral’s Canterbury Pulpit. Before construction on the pulpit began, Bishop Henry Yates Satterlee, the first Bishop of Washington, acquired from the Archbishop of Canterbury stone that had been part of the Bell Harry Tower of Canterbury Cathedral, which had recently undergone repair. The pulpit was carved from the stone in England and depicts the history of English translations of the Bible. Each of the three paneled sections depicts an illustrious church leader: the Venerable Bede (672/673-735), Stephen Langton (1150- 1228), and William Tyndale. The center panel depicts Langton, the Archbishop of Canterbury, handing the Magna Carta to King John for his signature. The Canterbury Pulpit is a symbol of the continuing prophetic voice of the Gospel and an ever-present reminder of the ties that bind our two cathedral communities. The Cathedral also joins with the Presiding Bishop, the Most Reverend Michael B. Curry, in supporting the worldwide Anglican Communion in Thy Kingdom Come, a campaign initiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury calling for prayer by individuals, congregations, and families. Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray between Ascension Day (May 10) and Pentecost (May 20) for more people to come to know Jesus.

Grant that enriched by our diversity, the Communion may become a beacon of truth and compassion with deeds of justice and mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. The people are seated. the first reading Acts 1:15-17, 21-26 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (together the crowd numbered about one hundred and twenty people) and said, “Friends, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through David foretold concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus — for he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry. So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us — one of these must become a witness with us to his resurrection.” So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias. Then they prayed and said, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. psalm 1 chant: Thomas Attwood Walmisley (1814-1856) The choir introduces the antiphon, then all repeat.

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, They are like trees planted by streams of water, but the way of the wicked is doomed. bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither; everything they do shall prosper. All repeat the antiphon. 5 the second reading 1 John 5:9-13 If we receive human testimony, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has testified to his Son. Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony in their hearts. Those who do not believe in God have made him a liar by not believing in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son. And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Now they know that everything you have given me is from you; for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours. All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them. And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves. I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one.

    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 93 ) SOME SEVENTEENTH CENTURY LETTERS AND P E T I T I O N S EROM T H E M U N I M E N T S O F T H E DEAN A N D C H A P T E R O E C A N T E R B U R Y . EDITED BY 0. EVELEIGH WOODRUFF, M.A. INTRODUCTION THE thirty-two letters and petitions which, by the courtesy of the Dean and Chapter, I have been permitted to trans- cribe, and now to offer to the Kent Archasological Society for pubhcation, were written—with the exception of three or four—in the seventeenth century, on the eve of the troublous times which culminated in the overthrow of Church and King, or in the years immediately fohowing the restoration of the monarchy when deans and chapters, once more in possession of their churches, and estates, were reviving the worship and customs which had been for many years in abeyance. One letter, however, is of earher date than the seventeenth century and three are later. Thus number one is from the pen of Dr. Nicholas Wotton, the first dean of the New Eoundation. Wotton, who was much employed in affairs of state, did not spend much time at Canterbury. His letter, which is dated from London, February 11th, 1564-5, is addressed to his brethren the prebendaries of Canterbury, and its purport is to inform them that Sir Thomas Gresham has offered to build, at his own proper cost and charges, a new Royal Exchange in the city of London.

  • Canon Treasurer
    Canon Treasurer 1 PROFILE OF CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL St Augustine, the first Archbishop of Canterbury, arrived on the coast of Kent as a missionary to England in 597 AD. He came from Rome, sent by Pope Gregory the Great. It is said that Gregory had been struck by the beauty of Angle slaves he saw for sale in the city market and dispatched Augustine and some monks to convert them to Christianity. Augustine was given a church at Canterbury (St Martin’s, after St Martin of Tours, still standing today) by the local King, Ethelbert whose Queen, Bertha, a French Princess, was already a Christian. This building had been a place of worship during the Roman occupation of Britain and is the oldest church in England still in use. Augustine had been consecrated a bishop in France and was later made an archbishop by the Pope. He established his seat within the Roman city walls (the word cathedral is derived from the Latin word for a chair ‘cathedra’, which is itself taken from the Greek ‘kathedra’ meaning seat.) and built the first Cathedral there, becoming the first Archbishop of Canterbury. Since that time, there has been a community around the Cathedral offering daily prayer to God; this community is arguably the oldest organisation in the English speaking world. The present Archbishop, The Most Revd Justin Welby, is 105th in the line of succession from Augustine. Augustine’s original building lies beneath the floor of the nave– it was extensively rebuilt and enlarged by the Saxons, and the Cathedral was rebuilt completely by the Normans in 1070 following a major fire.

  • How Anglicans Tipped the Brexit Vote Page 1 of 2
    LSE Brexit: How Anglicans tipped the Brexit vote Page 1 of 2 How Anglicans tipped the Brexit vote Two-thirds of Anglicans voted for Brexit, a much higher proportion than in the country as a whole. Greg Smith (William Temple Foundation) and Linda Woodhead (Lancaster University) look at the reasons for the disparity and note the divergence between the beliefs of UK evangelicals – including the Archbishop of Canterbury – and ‘normal’ Anglicans. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has been busy again attacking the markets and calling for more welfare. His views are at variance with those of ordinary Anglicans, two-thirds of whom think that welfare spending is too high. Research we have just published reveals an equally significant ‘values gap’ when it comes to the EU. ‘In the run up to the referendum of 2016 Welby was against Brexit but in the vote Anglicans strongly supported it. Our exit poll of 3,242 UK adults, commissioned by Linda Woodhead immediately after the referendum, shows that exactly two-thirds (66%) of the Anglicans in England who cast a vote, voted to leave the EU. That’s higher than for England as a whole, where just over half of voters (53%) chose Leave. Stained glass at St Mary’s Church, Godmanchester. Photo: Steve Day via a CC-BY-NC-SA 2.0 licence Anglicans are more enthusiastically pro-Brexit than affiliates of other major religions. In England, 55% of Catholics voted Leave, 45% Remain. Amongst other non-Christian faiths – though sample sizes are small – the tendency was to favour Remain over Leave.
