All in St. Anne’s TIMES March 2012 From the Rector … Last Sunday, we were all asked to think about those situa- tions in our lives that might call for reconciliation. Reconciliation is a big task and one that is not so easy to engage. It is intensely person and, when entered into fully, can make us extremely vulner- able. It is also not to be done in isolation. Even the tricky notion of being reconciled to ourselves cannot be done by ourselves alone. While different stages and situations require more interpersonal involvement, one that, at least at the beginning, requires no inter- personal interaction is that of our self-exploration. At its core, reconciliation begins within. I heard a preacher say recently that, “Free people, free eople.”1 In other words, she was saying that those of us who are free—or at least well on their way — are the ones that are concerned with using our freedom to free others. By extension, reconciled people reconcile. Our recon- ciliation begins from within. At this point, you might be wondering as to the point of all this reconciliation talk is coming. One reason is that it is the sea- son of Lent. In the Ash Wednesday Liturgy, the epistle reading, taken from Second Corinthians, begins, “We entreat you, on behalf 1 Heard in a sermon preached by Bishop Yvette Flunder on Tuesday, February 28, at Wake Forest Divinity School.

Please bring new or gently used coats to place on the altar to be given to those who need them. Lenten Tray Historically, we at St. Anne’s do not have flowers in front of the altar during Lent. Lent is a season of penitence, preparation and contemplation of Jesus’ path to the cross. It is a time to reflect on our own journeys in faith along with Jesus’ journey to crucifixion and resurrection. This year, we will have a tray in front of the altar. The contents of this tray will change and develop over the weeks reflect- ing the them of Journey. The journey we are on examin- ing ourselves and our lives from chaos to clarity in God. The Liturgy Committee hopes that the Lenten Tray will be an aid to your reflection and preparation throughout Lent. Vestry Viewpoints … Since my ambition is to be a humorist, I wanted to write something funny, of course, about being on the Vestry, but that was before I heard Lawrence’s Lenten sermon on Sunday. Since he asked us to be quiet for a long minute, I was able to become a more serious person. In that guise, I offer you my thoughts, such as they are. If you can count money, keep up with the church keep, lock the multiple doors after services, remember to come to meetings, and not fidget, you know more about serving on the Vestry that I did. However, after attending a Vestry Retreat at the Saint Francis Springs Prayer Center in nearby Stoneville, which was quiet and comforting and fun, and two monthly meetings, which were well- organized and fair and informative, I am learning to be a more thoughtful and tolerant person. People of St. Anne's are kind and generous and help one another. I am being mentored by other Vestry members in ways I don’t even know. A friend (not on the Vestry) did suggest that I might give up my relentless barrage of questions as a Lenten sacri- fice, and I am in that mode. You may have noticed? It has made me a more spiritual person (and a better friend) because I am able to hear other voices. Being on the Vestry is doing that for me. If I have had any “mountain top” experiences, as Lawrence asked us to re- member, they have been at St. Anne’s. I can’t say that serving on the Vestry will be one because I still like to ask and answer my own questions (you may have noticed) and I look to the mountain top to be surprised by joy, a phrase I borrowed from the poet Wordsworth. I have felt moments of great joy at St. Anne’s. After the last Vestry meeting I was tired but satisfied that the Vestry had done good work discussing the upcoming Revitalization Plan and other church matters. But it was on Sunday when I passed the Peace to a visitor and felt deeply connected that I thought our 40 days in the wilder- ness might be a mountain top experience. Taking my turn on the vestry has made me aware that I don’t have to have all the answers. I’m prepared to believe that God listens to me, and to each of you. That’s what being on the Vestry will do for you, with God’s help and Lawrence’s call. When we are allowed to move about the sanctuary again in happy pursuit of the Peace, I hope to hug you with all my heart. - Emily Herring Wilson 3 From the Rector … (Continued from Page 1) of Christ, be reconciled to God.” (5:20b). The Church often talks about salvation, but what is the point of our salvation if not our rec- onciliation with God? Jesus makes the way for our full reconciliation, with God and with each other and within ourselves through his life, death and resurrection. We understand our recon- ciliation, just as God’s love, to be a gift that is to be given away. Another reason is that I participated in the Institute for Dis- mantling Racism’s two-and-a-half day training last week. As we heard the history presented and were reminded of the depth of the systemic racism within our society and institutions, I couldn’t help but think dismantling racism is reconciliation work. At its core, anti- racism work, while seeking to change the way in which our society views people of different races and reduce the historic disadvantages that people of color face, is the work of reconciliation. This difficult work must begin within ourselves and then spread out to our work. I believe many of you know this already and that many of you have and will continue to work for justice, but what I don’t think any of us fully grasp is how our own, personal work of reconciliation ties in with the larger work and how significant and vital that is. I believe that this parish is uniquely positioned to do the internal work that can only strengthen our work in the world. This is the place, because of our history and our keen awareness of the social inequities that plague our society. I also believe that St. Anne’s is the place to do this work be- cause of the courage demonstrated over the years and because we are a church that believes in peacemaking. To be reconciled is to be at peace. This is not a peace that is simply the absence of war and vio- lence, but a peace that makes violence unnecessary. A reconciled and reconciling community is one that fiercely defends everyone’s right to be heard, treats everyone’s opinions as precious, dutifully and in- tentionally makes a space at the table for all who come, and does not rush to judgment in anything. A reconciled and reconciling commu- nity is one that expects to be disappointed, but works hard not to be bitter; is one where the people are honest when they are hurt and feel mistreated; is one in which there is clear and open communication; and when one of us falls short of the ideal, they are lovingly pointed back toward our purpose for being — to draw all people to Christ and live the reconciling message of the gospel. (Continued on Page 4 From the Rector … (Continued from Page 4) This article began with a reminder about the request to look for those places within our own lives that are in need of some recon- ciliation work. Reconciliation can be difficult, but it need not be grandiose. We continue our work of reconciliation in small, some- times daily, acts of reconciliation: excusing a mistake, making amends for a harsh word, repent of an oversight, acknowledging an overreaction, offering an olive branch in a conflict of wills. We cannot forget that some of the most intense and necessary work is needed within ourselves. Being reconciled to who we really are — positive and negative — put us solidly on the path that leads to a greater sense of and ability to engage in the work of own reconcilia- tion.

    March 21, 2021 Sermon

    Kerry Mansir March 21, 2021 Christ Church Gardiner Lent 5 In the parish news a couple of weeks ago, I shared the story of the Philadelphia 11 in honor of Women’s History Month. The Philadelphia 11 are the women who, in July of 1974, were ordained to the priesthood at Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia. This was remarkable because just a year before, at the General Convention of the Episcopal Church, women had been denied ordination to the priesthood. And nothing had changed regarding women’s ordination in that year. But these eleven women, and others like them, were tired of waiting. They had tried the legislative routes within the church, but they were weary of being put off so that the Church could continue to “study the matter.” Choosing to be ordained without the blessing of General Convention carried great risk in that the women could be deposed, in other words, permanently barred from the priesthood in the future, and possibly any role in the Church at all. Their ordination was an historic moment in the Church. Knowing the story of these women is important to understanding our church history. But as one of you pointed out to me, the press release from July 31, 1974 that I shared in the parish newsletter failed to name any but two of these women. The news release did name the three male retired or resigned Bishops who performed the ordination, the male Harvard professor who preached the sermon, and several of the male Bishops who opposed the ordinations, including the Presiding Bishop at that time.

    TRANSGRESSIVE TRADITIONS: ROMAN CATHOLIC WOMENPRIESTS AND THE PROBLEM OF WOMEN’S ORDINATION Jill Marie Peterfeso A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Laurie Maffly-Kipp Julie Byrne Todd Ochoa Tony Perucci Randall Styers Thomas A. Tweed ©2012 Jill Marie Peterfeso ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JILL MARIE PETERFESO: Transgressive Traditions: Roman Catholic Womenpriests and the Problem of Women’s Ordination (Under the direction of Laurie Maffly-Kipp) Although the Roman Catholic Church bars women from ordained priesthood, since 2002 a movement called Roman Catholic Womenpriests (RCWP) claims to have ordained approximately 120 women as deacons, priests, and bishops in Europe, North America, and Latin America. Because the women deliberately break Canon Law—and specifically c. 1024, which reads, “Only a baptized man can validly receive sacred ordination”—RCWP acknowledges that its ordinations are illegal, but the group claims nonetheless to perform valid ordinations because they stand in the traditional line of apostolic succession. They retain the modifier “Roman” to signal their lineage within Roman Catholic tradition, yet RCWP’s stated goal is not simply to insert women into the existing Church structures, but rather to “re-imagine, re-structure, and re-shape the priesthood and therefore the church.” This dissertation investigates the

    Midwestern Journal of Theology 8.1 (Fall 2009): 84-95 the Cross: New Religions, New Theologies and the Only Difference in a Pluralistic Society

    Midwestern Journal of Theology 8.1 (Fall 2009): 84-95 The Cross: New Religions, New Theologies and the Only Difference in a Pluralistic Society Viola Larson Board Member Voices of Orthodox Women and Theology Matters Sacramento, California Abstract Viola Larson points to the trend in religious movements, Christian and otherwise, of viewing Christ’s sacrifice as simply an example of suffering for others. The article proceeds to outline the need for the doctrine of atonement and illustrates how this doctrine keeps Christianity orthodox. Larson demonstrates the doctrine of atonement from Scripture and engages several views on atonement from history. Ultimately, Larson contends that without a proper doctrine of the atonement of Christ on the cross, evil is allowed to run rampant in any religion, including Christianity. 1 Recently, in her address to the 2002 Covenant Conference,106F Anna Case- Winters, Professor of Theology at McCormick Theological Seminary, suggests that for our atonement, “‘The incarnation’ would be enough!” She also advocates for the theological position of Abelard, the medieval scholastic who held a position of atonement referred to as moral 2 influence or example.107F That is, the death of Christ on the cross becomes an example of the willingness to suffer for others and for that reason Jesus Christ is followed and loved. Other proponents of this view of the cross and salvation were Socinus, a sixteenth century theologian who 3 also denied the Trinity108F , and Friedrich Schleiermacher the father of nineteenth century liberal theology. Pelagius is seen as an early anticipation of this view, since he believed humanity capable of living up 1 The Covenant Network is an independent group within the Presbyterian Church USA whose members advocate for the ordination of homosexuals and for Progressive Theology.

    The Word – November 2017

    St. Alban’s Episcopal Church he word November 2017 Volume 16, Issue 9 From the Rector October 2017 Volume 16, Issue 8 In last month’s newsletter I posed the question, “are you going to church, or are you the Church?” I followed that question with the statement that “Church isn’t a place, it’s people.” That statement became very real to me as I attended a workshop on church growth (Invite -Welcome -Connect) in October. I was accompanied by your Senior Warden Linda Cummings and parishioners Debbie Rosse and Kate Wettstein . The workshop facilitator challenged us to look at our current methods of inviting others to church, making them feel welcome and then making them feel “connected” – part of the church. At the workshop, the Invite -Welcome -Connect facilitator shared an anecdote with us. During a break at a workshop she was leading, one attendee from a smaller church came up to her and confided that she “really didn’t want her church to grow” because she liked her church just the way it is. We all have differing levels of comfort with change, and change in our church can be very difficult for some. But churches should never be content to just exist. Churches must be thriving, active in the community, and raising up disciples to share the Good News. But that will never happen if the invitation and the welcome are taken care of by a committee. We are all responsible for inviting and welcoming to church people hungry for the Good News of God’s love.

Tremel n 1848 the slave-turned-abolitionist Frederick Douglass wrote in Ithe National Anti-Slavery Standard newspaper that Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, “more than any other [city] in our land, holds the destiny of our people.”1 Yet Douglass was also one of the biggest critics of the city’s treatment of its black citizens. He penned a censure in 1862: “There is not perhaps anywhere to be found a city in which prejudice against color is more rampant than Philadelphia.”2 There were a number of other critics. On March 4, 1863, the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, commented after race riots in Detroit, “Even here, in the city of Philadelphia, in many places it is almost impossible for a respectable colored per- son to walk the streets without being assaulted.”3 To be sure, Philadelphia’s early residents showed some mod- erate sympathy with black citizens, especially through the Pennsylvania Abolition Society, but as the nineteenth century progressed, Philadelphia witnessed increased racial tension and a number of riots.

    SAINTS a special edition looking at the rich historyAlive! of All Saints Brookline Volume 21, Number 4 Fall 2019 1 Rector’s Reflection Have you seen the Hereford stone? When our church building was under construction, Daniel Dulaney Addison, our first rector, visited Hereford, England, where he was given a stone from the original Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Ethelbert, built in the 11th century. It was placed in the outer wall of the Resting Chapel, where it remains. It’s a remarkable and tangible reminder of the incredible long story we are a part of: the story of God’s never-failing love. A story that continues to be lived out across the globe. As I live and work in this community, I am constantly humbled and amazed by the works of faith undertaken by this community, both now and in the past. I am heartened by the rock-solid faith of women and men throughout time who live mostly ordinary lives of joy and tragedy, of faith and struggle; who, in all kinds of circumstances, gather together to break bread, share the cup, and move forward in hope. As we pause this year to look back with gratitude at our first 125 years, and imagine with hope what our next 125 might be, I give thanks for all that has brought us safely thus far, and for you who are even now writing the next chapter of the story. May we be found to be as durable, and as faithful as our Hereford stone. In peace, Richard+ From the Editor Marianne Evett In 1894, a group of 24 Episcopalians began meeting to worship at the Beaconsfield Casino in northwest Brookline and petitioned Bishop Lawrence to start a church.

    Re-Imagining: Relishing Eve's Rebellion

    STATEMENT DW050 Re-Imagining: Relishing Eve’s Rebellion “Sometimes when you ask God for help, God sends a heretic.” These words, shared by presenter Delores Williams, may well have summarized the sentiments of many participants at a Re-imagining Revival conference held in St. Paul, Minnesota, April 16 – 19, 1998. Williams, professor of theology and culture at New York’s Union Theological Seminary, and other participants in this radical spiritual feminist movement assert they are seeking to salvage what they can from a corrupt, woman- oppressing, patriarchal Christian tradition. While not all would welcome the label “heretic,” one could purchase a T- shirt on site that proclaimed its wearer a “heretic in good company” with others who have challenged predominant paradigms of faith, such as Jesus of Nazareth, Martin Luther, Meister Eckhart, and Matthew Fox. The event was organized by the Re-Imagining Community, which emerged in 1993 with its first controversial conference, called to mark the midpoint in the World Council of Churches’ Ecumenical Decade: Churches in Solidarity with Women. The incorporated, nonprofit organization operates out of offices in Minneapolis, sponsors annual gatherings and “faith labs” for theological exploration, and periodically publishes a newsletter. Organizers counted 850 women and 50 men present this year, with participants coming from 42 U.S. states, three Canadian provinces, Germany, Uruguay, South Korea, Switzerland, Sweden, Kenya, and South Africa. All mainline denominations were represented, as were the Church of the Brethren, the Church of Sweden, the Metropolitan Community Church, the Ugandan Episcopal Church, and the United Church of Canada. Also attending were Mennonites, Quakers, Unitarians, Moravians, Roman Catholics, and at least one Sufi.
