On October 25, 2019, I toured Rikkyo University. Rikkyo is a highly regarded, private University with over 20,000 students. It has been identified as a “Top Global University in Japan” and approximately 10% of the student body comes from overseas. Over the course of four or so hours, the Rev.

It was all there. This son of a farmer from Richmond, VA, who studied at VTS made the long and treacherous journey to China and then on to Japan. There I looked at the will of Bishop Williams; the textbook he used at Virginia Seminary; and the description of the vision he had for education in Japan. Bishop Williams had created one of the first universities in Japan; as a result of his work over Almighty and everlasting God, 20,000 students are being educated annually. The president of Rikkyo, Professor Yangchoon Kwak, noted that, as we thank you for your servant VTS celebrates 200 years in 2023, Rikkyo will celebrate 150 years in 2024.

Of course we know from Scripture that the world would not receive Him. Though there were stars in the East, Wise Men bearing gifts and all of heaven looking down upon us, the world turned its back as if this was just any child born into the world. But here we have it “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” Wow! God was born into the world in the flesh. That is just like you and me. He comes with a heart, ten fingers and ten toes and even hair. He was born into the cold night of Winter with no heater to keep Him warm, only a loving mother with some swaddling clothes. As I think about it I am amazed of how much He was like us, and yet comes to us with the fullness of grace and truth. I suspect grace means He comes in the “uncreated energy of God.” That is a forceful, never-ending compassion and love that redeems the soul. His truth is that which assures us that He will live up to His promises.

People: And also with you. Let us pray. After a period of silence, the Minister then says the following Collects. Gracious God, we commend to your loving care all who suffer, especially those who come here seeking your healing grace for themselves and for others. Give them patience and hope in their distress; strengthen and uphold them in mind and body; and grant, by your intervention, that all your people may be made whole according to your desire, through Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen O God, who in your providence called Channing Moore Williams to the ministry of this church and gave him the gifts and the perseverance to preach the Gospel in new lands: Inspire us, by his example and prayers, to commit our talents to your service, confident that you uphold those whom you call; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Nathaniel Makoto Uematsu Primate and Chairperson of the General Synod The 61st (Regular) General Synod of the Nippon Sei Ko Kai(NSKK) was held from 27th to 29th May 2014 at Ushigome Sei Ko Kai, St. Barnabas’ Church in the Tokyo Diocese. In the opening speech of the General Synod, I recollected the last two-year period of the General Synod, and took up some important points which the NSKK has confronted. I have made a review of our current activities as well as our standpoints. In the following, I am going to mention several resolutions which were considered during the present General Synod. (1) Three years and two months have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake. The NSKK’s “Let’s Walk Together!” project finished its original two-year working period last May (in August in the Kamaishi Area). This means that the original activities have been more or less completed. The present General Synod was the first one held after completion of the project, at which many relevant reports were presented and the whole results were reassessed. I must mention that during the period since the earthquake, the NSKK has “walked together” with the victims, praying, supporting or working in union with them. This is an event that deserves special mention in the history of the NSKK.

  • The Enneagram and Its Implications
    Organizational Perspectives on Stained Glass Ceilings for Female Bishops in the Anglican Communion: A Case Study of the Church of England Judy Rois University of Toronto and the Anglican Foundation of Canada Daphne Rixon Saint Mary’s University Alex Faseruk Memorial University of Newfoundland The purpose of this study is to document how glass ceilings, known in an ecclesiastical setting as stained glass ceilings, are being encountered by female clergy within the Anglican Communion. The study applies the stained glass ceiling approach developed by Cotter et al. (2001) to examine the organizational structures and ordination practices in not only the Anglican Communion but various other Christian denominations. The study provides an in depth examination of the history of female ordination within the Church of England through the application of managerial paradigms as the focal point of this research. INTRODUCTION In the article, “Women Bishops: Enough Waiting,” from the October 19, 2012 edition of Church Times, the Most Rev. Dr. Rowan Williams, then Archbishop of Canterbury, urged the Church of England in its upcoming General Synod scheduled for November 2012 to support legislation that would allow the English Church to ordain women as bishops (Williams, 2012). Williams had been concerned about the Church of England’s inability to pass resolutions that would allow these ordinations. As the spiritual head of the Anglican Communion of approximately 77 million people worldwide, Williams had witnessed the ordination of women to the sacred offices of bishop, priest and deacon in many parts of the communion. Ordinations allowed women in the church to overcome glass ceilings in certain ministries, but also led to controversy and divisiveness in other parts of the church, although the Anglican Communion has expended significant resources in both monetary terms and opportunity costs to deal with the ordination of women to sacred offices, specifically as female bishops.

    In the Morning Wednesday, September 2, 2020 Martyrs of New Guinea, 1942 Welcome Opening prayer 31. For Schools and Colleges O Eternal God, bless all schools, colleges, and universities [and help them to provide healthy, safe spaces for students, teachers, administrators, essential school staff and all who work in our schools ]. We pray the education offered in its various forms will create lively centers for healthy choices, sound learning, new discovery, and the pursuit of wisdom; and grant that those who teach and those who learn may find you to be the source of all truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (BCP modified by +LJA) Dwelling in the Word Luke 12:4-12 (NRSV) Jesus said, “I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that can do nothing more. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God’s sight. But even the hairs of your head are all counted. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows. And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God; but whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God. And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
