  • Algoma Anglican
    ALGOMA ANGLICAN THEMay NEWSPAPER 2017 OFOfficial THE DIOCESE Voice of OF the ALGOMA Diocese • The of Official Algoma Voice – ofA the section Diocese of Algomathe Anglican • A SECTION Journal OF THE - ANGLICANCelebrating JOURNAL 60 years • DECEMBERVol. 60 – No. 2020 5 The first issue ... The Algoma Anglican enters your home for the first time today and we hope you will invite it back again, every month, for a long time to come. The idea of a monthly paper for Anglicans in the Diocese of Al- goma originated with His Grace Archbishop W. L. Wright, who felt such a publication would do much to unite the common interests of all the people in our far-flung diocese. Algoma covers such a wide territory that to date many of us in one part of the diocese have had little or no opportunity to learn about the activities and progress of our fellow churchmen in other sections. It is hoped, therefore, that the Algoma Anglican will rectify this situation, that it will keep us all informed of what is going on in all parts of the diocese, and, perhaps more importantly, help us to know each other better and more deeply understand each other’s problems and hopes. The success of the Algoma Anglican will depend, of course, on the support it receives from our people throughout the diocese. Circulation will develop if the paper has readership value, and readership value will develop if every parish in the diocese reports fully on its activities. In this connection we would like to suggest that each parish appoint a correspondent who would be respon- sible for reporting to the Algoma Anglican every month.

    Dean of Ontario and Rector for St. George’s Cathedral, Kingston, Ontario The Bishop of Ontario is seeking to appoint the Dean of Ontario and Rector for St. George’s Cathedral in Kingston, Ontario. Founded in 1792, St. George’s is the oldest institution in Kingston and the oldest Anglican parish in Ontario. It is significant for its association with the development of the Anglican Church in Ontario, and has played a role in the religious lives of many Kingstonians. St. George’s is located in the historic heart of the City of Kingston—the largest regional centre in eastern Ontario between and Toronto and Ottawa. The city is home to almost 124,000 permanent residents as well as a significant number of students who attend Queen’s University, The Royal Military College and St. Lawrence College. These three educational institutions are significant sources of employment along with Canadian Forces Base Kingston and the cities health care institutions. A centre of recreational and cultural activities, Kingston draws many tourists each year with about 5000 of these visiting St. George’s Cathedral. The City is also a major centre for fresh water sailing, has a significant art gallery at Queen’s University, many smaller galleries, over twenty museums, several active theatrical companies, and many choirs and instrumental groups, including a very good symphony orchestra. St. George’s seeks to be one of the great cathedrals in the Anglican Church of Canada and a welcoming and influential parish church in the Diocese of Ontario. It is committed to providing a high standard of inspiration, pastoral care and hospitality; to fostering social justice; to providing emergency relief to the poor; to pursuing interfaith relationships; and to offering services to the wider Kingston community through social and outreach programs and participation in the arts.

  • Page an Anglican – Lutheran Cycle of Prayer July – September
    An Anglican – Lutheran Cycle of Prayer July – September 2019 Introduction The Joint Anglican-Lutheran Commission has designed this cycle for use in Canadian Anglican and Lutheran congregations and communities in Sunday liturgies throughout the year. For each Sunday, there are intentions for specific dioceses/synods/groups in both The Anglican Church of Canada and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada. One of the characteristics of the Christian community throughout the ages has been our commitment to pray for the whole world but especially for our Christian sisters and brothers in churches closely linked to our own. Anglicans and Lutherans in Canada are accustomed to praying for the Anglican Communion and the Lutheran World Federation, so it is appropriate for us to pray for our immediate Anglican and Lutheran neighbours. Prayer cycles can be overwhelming and ‘crowded’ pieces of liturgies. Care needs to be exercised in setting a context – we are intentionally, as churches in ‘full communion’, holding each other in prayer – some words of explanation may be needed to set this cycle of prayer in context. In using this Cycle of Prayer, congregations may wish to pray regularly by name. 7 July 2019 DIOCESAN Bishop Chris and Tracy Harper Diocese of Saskatoon Delegates to the 42nd Session of General Synod to be held July 10- 16 in Vancouver: Bishop Chris Harper, The Very Rev. Scott Pittendrigh, The Ven. Ken Watts, Ms. Ruth Skinner, Mr. Chris Wood and Ms. Alexa Wallace, At the meeting of the General Synod this July, clergy and lay people will elect a new Primate.

  • Charge of the Parish L . . a a Sample of Anglican Record Keeping
    "One Parchment Book at the 99, Charge of the Parish l . a A Sample of Anglican Record Keeping by SHIRLEY SPRAGGE It would be tempting to suggest that the keeping of the basic records of the work of the Ecclesia Anglicans -the registers of baptisms, marriages and burials performed by the clergy wasdevised by the church in its spiritual wisdom. The origin of record keeping on a national scale, however, is to be found in an injunction of Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII's Chancellor, in 15381. Although the keeping of registers was already a custom of some parish priests, what prompted Cromwell's action was the incredible tangle of marriage laws and prohibitions of marriage within degrees, not only of blood relationships, but also of spiritual relationships based on baptismal sponsors. Marriage meant transfer of property, property meant taxes; nullification of a marriage within a prohibited degree meant divorce: the ramifications were endless, and the able administrator Cromwell wanted to straighten out the situation. In 1603, the canons (laws) of the now firmly established national Church of England stated: Canon 70 In every church and chapel within this realm shall be provided one parchment book at the charge of the parish, wherein shall be written the day and year of every christening, wedding, and burial . and for the safe keeping of the said book, the churchwardens, at the charge of the parish, shall provide a secure coffer. Parochial record keeping was therefore a well-established tradition which accompanied the Anglican Church to the New World. The fact that record keeping was based on a geographical unit, the parish, and then consolidated within a diocese, a region administered by a bishop, was both a strength and a weakness.
