  • DD, State Chairman and Council Reports
    WASHINGTON STATE COUNCIL VIRTUAL CONVENTION CHAIRMEN & COUNCIL REPORTS 118TH STATE CONVENTION MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR THOMAS WILLIAMS, STATE ADVOCATE MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR My Brothers, Wow, what a year! It reminds me of the opening line of Charles Dickens’ novel “A Tale of Two Cities” - - it was the best of times, it was the worst of times . Certainly, it takes some pondering on how it could have been the best of times, right? I do think that this pandemic time has reminded us of how important God, Church, family and health are to us. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and we sure missed out on a lot of things. I hope that we all have a renewed sense of what is truly important to us and will take that into the post pandemic world. Membership numbers? Clearly, that falls squarely into the worst of times. We have really struggled this year as the pandemic restrictions took away many of our most productive ways of recruiting new members. Without in person programs and personal contact, recruiting new members has become much more difficult. With two months left in the fraternal year, we have recruited 255 new members, less than half of our membership goals. We are positive for Net Membership with 44 net members, a little less than 20% of goals. Most of our new members have joined through online membership, which is a blessing. I am starting to see signs that things are loosening up, I was able to man a membership table at the Iron Sharpens Iron Conference held at St. Brendan in Bothell, the first time in more than a year that I was able to attend such an event in person.

  • Tradition and the Traditions of African American Catholicism
    Theological Studies 61 (2000) TRADITION AND THE TRADITIONS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CATHOLICISM M. SHAWN COPELAND [The author takes as her point of departure Black Catholic appro- priation of the Tradition in the anticipatroy theological reflection of the Black Catholic Congress held in 1893. She then interprets the retrieval of African cultural retensions through the lens of popular religion. In her final section she identifies the Black Catholic subject of Tradition.] O SPEAK ABOUT TRADITION and the traditions of African American T Catholicism is not without contention.1 Almost from the beginning, indeed, even now, the faith praxis of African American Catholics has been met with arrogance and suspicion. These reactions stem chiefly from the notion that African American Christianity is restricted to, if not identical with, a certain form of Protestantism. This misconception has been ab- sorbed not only into our religious, cultural, and social commonsense, but has been formalized in scholarship, that is, in the prevailing American religious and social historiography. On the one hand, authoritative voices among Catholic historians, sociologists, and theologians treat the notion of the immigrant church as the primary interpretative paradigm for Catholic M. SHAWN COPELAND is associate professor of theology at Marquete University, Milwaukee. She obtained her Ph.D. in systematic theology at Boston College. Her areas of specialization include theological and philosophical anthropology, political theology, and theological method. Among her recent publications are “Body, Rep- resentation, and Black Religious Discourse,” in Postcolonialism, Feminism, and Religious Discourse (Routledge, 2000), and a study on Letty Russell in Liberating Eschatology, ed. Margaret Farley and Serene Jones (Westminster/Knox, 1999).

Before we move on to that, remember the day of your marriage is one of the most important days and occasion of your life. Make it the best, make it personal and above all make it meaningful. Remember, you will be uttering the words of the sacrament to your beloved in front of God and His community with his Minister the priest or deacon with you. So, once you address the following procedural matters, begin a time prayer together. And if you are not in the habit of being at mass at the weekends, kindly start to do so.

  • A Tour of Saint James the Greater Church
    A Tour of Saint James the Greater Church Exterior of the church On the Hubble Road façade is a stucco relief of the Resurrection. On the east façade (facing the office building) is a figure of Saint James the Greater. Above the west entrance hang two of the three bells from the 1849 church. They still ring for Mass and to signal the time of day. The third bell, the smallest, was lost sometime in the 1960s or early 1970s. Main entrance The lower west vestibule gives access to the church and the church hall. The doors on the right lead to the steps into the church. On the left is the elevator to the church. A major feature of the stairwell is the stone tablet from the old church on Cheviot Road. It reads, in German: Roman Catholic Saint James Church Erected Renovated A.D. 1849 A.D. 1868 Next to it is a print of a painting of the 1849 church. The original oil painting hangs in the parish office. It is attributed to Father Francis J. Pabisch who was pastor at Saint James from 1851 to 1856. At the landing of the stairs there is a picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of all the Americas. On the opposite wall are the bronze plaques commemorating the consecration of the present church on November 7, 1980 by Archbishop Joseph L. Bernardin and the completion of the renovation on May 11, 2013. Upper west vestibule The major focus of this area is the wood carved statue of the Risen Christ.

It was most successful. The accommodation and main centre were typical 1960s college space and served us well even INDUSTRIAL though the lecture room struggled to accommodate the numbers. The village was a delight – the ARCHAEOLOGY gardens of Cannington Court (now part of the college) were open to us and there were no less than five pubs to explore. The Conference Dinner was outside the capacity of the College so to Taunton Race NEWS 191 Course we went (regrettably not on a race night) and were served an excellent meal and at which the Winter 2019 AIA prizes were handed out (see page 19). The organization was faultless, well planned and well executed by members of the Somerset Industrial Archaeological Society led by Peter Daniel and Steve Miles. Steve established a precedent by Honorary President Prof Marilyn Palmer MBE bringing along his tribe in support – and support they did. Peter was also responsible for editing and leading the team that produced a revised version of the Somerset Gazetteer. Honorary Vice Presidents As usual John McGuiness had done a superb job as Conference Secretary and Steve Miles had Prof Angus Buchanan, Sir Neil Cossons OBE, Prof John Hume handled the bookings impeccably.
