6 THE LIVING CHURCH · NOVEMBER 9, 2008 PrayerBook Custodian Talks About History of Revisions The first Book of Common Prayer appeared seemingly out of nowhere in the spring of 1549 and faced signifi­ cant resistance at times, even riots, a fate not unknown to a number of its successors, said the Rev. Canon Greg Howe, custodian of the Standard Book of Common Prayer. Canon Howe gave the keynote address, "Prayer Book Revision: The Untold Stories," during a workshop Oct. 18 at Trinity Cathedral, Omaha, Neb. The process of revising the prayer book proved so traumatic within the Church of England that it has defeated several attempts to revise the version approved in 1662, although most English churches now use Common Worship for services. Bringing together artifacts from the Tom Jeffries/Trinity Cathedral photo cathedral collection, personal items Participants in a workshop on the prayer book, held at Trinity Cathedral in Omaha, Neb., Oct. 18, view artifacts on loan from the Archives of The Episcopal Church. owned by Canon Howe and prayer books on loan from the Archives of Church and the Church of Brazil are tion approves a new prayer book, many The Episcopal Church, the cathedral the only two provinces with prayer years usually elapse before the commit­ workshop began with a historical dis­ book custodians.

EcumenicalStep Forward While it received little notice from the secular media, the recent synod of Roman Catholic bishops at the Vatican included a remarkable event that may have major implications ecumenically. Bartholomew I, ecumenical patriarch of the Eastern Orthodox Church, addressed the bishops gathered in the Sistine Chapel after being invited by Pope Benedict XVI. The appearance of the patriarch does not indicate, of course, that the 1,000-year division of the great churches of the East and West is about to end, but it was, to use his own words, a "historic event in itself." Pope Benedict is known to be committed to ecumenical endeavors, so the invitation to Bartholomew might not seem unusual. Yet the patriarch called it "a gesture full of meaning and significance." He said it was "a manifestation of the work of the Holy Spirit leading our churches to a closer and deeper relationship with each other, an important step toward the restoration of our full communion." The extraordinary event was watched from afar by Angli­ cans, who have had significant ecumenical progress with both churches, albeit somewhat limited in recent years. Like most ecumenical relationships, important differences remain between the world's two largest churches. Nevertheless, the appearance of the patriarch represents a small step in the right direction. HonoringVeterans In our country's observance of Veterans Day this week, we recognize those who have served our country honorably in the military, both living and dead, in battle and in times of peace. Among those we honor are the chaplains who preach, teach and offer support to those in the armed services with whom they serve, in our own country and around the world. Episcopal chaplains today serve with active duty, Reserve, National Guard, and Civil Air Patrol personnel. Wherever they work, they are called to build a community of faith, offering sacramental ministry based on the Book of Common Prayer. They also provide pastoral care and counsel to all people, regardless of faith, often far from home and in the most diffi­ cult circumstances. While the work of these chaplains is much needed, so is the support that our congregations provide to military personnel and their families. Episcopal churches near military installa­ tions provide a spiritual home for many active-duty personnel and their loved ones. And no matter where a church is located, chances are good that a parish member, or the child or grand­ child of a member, is serving in harm's way. Through regular communication, innovative outreach, and above all through prayer, parishes can help ease their burden and be reminders of God's grace. We join in offering all veterans our gratitude for their service and sacrifice. Let us also honor those who minister with mili­ tary families, and prayerfully consider opportunities to share in that ministry ourselves.
