We have great groups for you to be a part of. Please come and meet us by the sound desk this morning ... Cath, family worker :-) Our10am service commences with this hymn 1. God is love: let heaven adore him; Welcome on 29th April God is love: let earth rejoice; let creation sing before him, 2018 th and exalt him with one voice. 5 Sunday of a!ter He who laid the earth’s foundation, "e #$tapu "uarima o te he who spread the heavens above, Aranga he who breathes through all creation, he is love, eternal Love. 2. God is love: and love enfoldeth, all the world in one embrace; with unfailing grasp he holdeth, every child of every race. And when human hearts are breaking, under sorrow’s iron rod, then they find that self-same aching, deep within the heart of God. 3. God is love: and though with blindness, sin afflicts the human soul, God’s eternal loving-kindness, 8am hymns guides and heals and makes us whole. Offertory: Bread of heaven, on thee we feed Pg 4 Sin and death and hell shall never, Recessional: Lord, enthroned o’er us final triumph gain; in heavenly splendour – pg 8 God is love, so love forever, o’er the universe must reign. Priest I runga i te Ingoa o te Atua, te Matua, te Tama me te Wairua Tapu. Amine. (In the name of God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.) Liturgist Nau Mai - Haere Mai — Welcome! My brothers and sisters in Christ — The Lord be with you as we gather around His table in worship. Welcome to our Interim Cathedral in the Peace Hall Page 1 Liturgist Our Gospel reminds us of God’s calling on us to bear fruit; to be fully who God has created us to be; to delight in the life that God has given us and created us for; to be life giving to others. So we respond with worship. Alleluia! Christ is Risen! All He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia! Priest Christ our Host is present with us. We are called by your Spirit. Drink gladly from this True Vine, for you will never drink in vain. Here the poorest can eat and be satisfied, and all seekers shall praise the Lord with joy in our hearts forever! The Confession and Absolution / Te Hohou-i-te-rongo Please sit / E noho Liturgist Jesus said: “I am the vine, you are the branches.” Yet we confess that all is not well with the way we live. All Please forgive us, we have been the ones to introduce disease into the vine, preferring its contamination to the vigour of health. Forgive us for neglecting to draw deeply on the sap of Life, for our tendency to wander instead of growing on the framework you provide, for being content, and sometimes even proud of, a few sparse or undersized fruits, for the apathy which lets us to go through some seasons without bearing any fruit. Lord God, our vine-grower, have mercy on us. Liturgist Christ, the true vine, have mercy upon us. All Lord, have mercy upon us. Priest May almighty God, who sent his Son into the world to save sinners, bring you his pardon and peace, now and for ever. Amen The Gloria is said, as a cry of thanksgiving to God. Please Stand / E tū All Glory to God in the highest, and peace to God’s people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. A mem%er of the Community of the Cros! of Nail! Page 2 Liturgist Kia mau te rongo o te Karaiti ki o tatou ngakau. The peace of Christ rule in our hearts. All The word of Christ dwell in us richly. The Collect – Gathering Prayer – is said together / Hei konei te inoi o te rä All Gracious God, you call us your own and love us beyond measure; in the rising of your Son we are made a resurrection people, free us from the old ways, make us faithful disciples, so that we can share with others what you have freely given to us, who are created, redeemed and empowered through our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen Please be seated for the Readings / Nga Karaipiture – E noho Reader A reading from the Acts of the Apostles, (Chapter 8:26-40) Then an angel of the Lord said to Philip, ‘Get up and go towards the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.’ (This is a wilderness road.) So he got up and went. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury. He had come to Jerusalem to worship and was returning home; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah. Then the Spirit said to Philip, ‘Go over to this chariot and join it.’ So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. He asked, ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ He replied, ‘How can I, unless someone guides me?’ And he invited Philip to get in and sit beside him. Now the passage of the scripture that he was reading was this: ‘Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and like a lamb silent before its shearer, so he does not open his mouth. In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth.’ The eunuch asked Philip, ‘About whom, may I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?’ Then Philip began to speak, and starting with this scripture, he proclaimed to him the good news about Jesus. As they were going along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, ‘Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?’ He commanded the chariot to stop, and both of them, Philip and the eunuch, went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he was passing through the region, he proclaimed the good news to all the towns until he came to Caesarea. Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church. All Thanks be to God. Welcome to our Interim Cathedral in the Peace Hall Page ' Reader A reading from the first letter of John, (Chapter 3:16-24) We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another. How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help? Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness before God; and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commandments and do what pleases him. And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. All who obey his command- ments abide in him, and he abides in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit that he has given us. Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church. All Thanks be to God. At 10am we sing the Gradual Hymn in preparation for the Gospel 1. Bread of heav’n, on thee we feed, for Thy flesh is meat indeed; ever may our souls be fed, with this true and living bread; day by day with strength supplied, through the life of him who died. 2. Vine of Heav’n, thy blood supplies, this blest cup of sacrifice; Lord, thy wounds our healing give, to thy cross we look and live: Jesus, may we ever be, grafted, rooted, built in thee. Please stand and turn to face the Gospel and the Cross... / Ka tū te katoa Reader Hear the Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to St John, (Chapter 15:1-8) All Praise and Glory to God. ‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-grower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me.

  • 1 Homosexuality & the Contemporary Anglican Communion: the Windsor
    Homosexuality & the Contemporary Anglican Communion: The Windsor Report © Charleston C. K. Wang I. Mandate and Scope The Windsor Report of the Lambeth Commission on Communion was issued under the auspices of the Most Reverend Dr. Robin Eames, Archbishop of Armagh and Commission Chair in October 2004. In response to the mandate given by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Windsor touches upon the “legal and theological implications flowing from the decisions of the Episcopal Church USA (ECUSA) to appoint a priest in a committed same sex relationship as one of its bishops, and of the Diocese of New Westminster [of the Anglican Church of Canada] to authorize services for use in connection with same sex unions.”1 Of even greater importance, perhaps, Windsor addresses “specifically … the canonical understandings of communion, impaired and broken communion, and the ways in which provinces of the Anglican Communion2 may relate to one another in situations where the ecclesiastical authorities of one province feel unable to maintain the fullness of communion with another part of the Anglican Communion.”3 Windsor is intended to be viewed as recommendations to the Primates 1 Windsor Report of the Lambeth Commission on Communion, The Anglican Communion Office, London, UK (October 2004) at p8.

    The Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. The Institution and Welcoming of The Reverend Hugh Bowron as Vicar of the Parish of St. Peter’s, Caversham by The Right Reverend Kelvin Wright Bishop of Dunedin On the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple. The Church of St Peter, Caversham, Thursday, February 2, 2012, 7pm. Processional Hymn: Of the Father's heart begotten, Ere the world from chaos rose, He is Alpha, from that Fountain All that is and has been flows; He is Omega, of all things, Yet to come the distant Close, Evermore and evermore for ever. By His word was all created He commanded and 'twas done; Earth and sky and boundless ocean, Universe of three in one, All that sees the moon's soft radiance, All that breathes beneath the sun, Evermore and evermore. He assumed this mortal body, Frail and feeble, doomed to die, That the race from dust created, Might not perish utterly, Which the dreadful Law had sentenced In the depths of hell to lie, Evermore and evermore. O how blest that wondrous birthday, When the Maid the curse retrieved, Brought to birth mankind's salvation By the Holy Ghost conceived, And the Babe, the world's Redeemer In her loving arms received, Evermore and evermore. Sing, ye heights of heaven, his praises; Angels and Archangels, sing! Wheresoe’er ye be, ye faithful, Let your joyous anthems ring, Every tongue his name confessing, Countless voices answering, Evermore and evermore. Words: Corde Natus - Prudentius (trans. R.F. Davis) Music: Divinum mysterium (arr.

  • Diocesan Prayer Cycle
    DIOCESAN CYCLE OF PRAYER February-March 2020 USING THIS CYCLE OF PRAYER This edition of the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer follows the same general form as its predecessor. It follows a simple monthly cycle. On each day parishes and other ministry units in the Diocese are listed, together with a range of diocesan and national church bodies. Reference is made to pastorates of Tikanga Maori and parochial districts of the Diocese of Polynesia located within the geographical area of the Diocese. Note, however, that these do not come within the jurisdiction of the Diocese but are included as a symbol of partnership. Clergy with a permission to officiate and widows of clergy are listed in alphabetical sequence throughout the course of the monthly cycle. An obvious weakness in any scheme of intercession is that it soon becomes out of date. For this reason, this issue of the Cycle of Prayer appears on the Diocesan website and will be updated bi- monthly, with the date of revision appearing on the front page. Please direct any inquiries to the Editor of the Cycle of Prayer at the Bishop’s Office, P.O. Box 37- 242, Parnell 1151, Auckland or email [email protected] 2 A SCHEME OF INTERCESSION Every day In the morning: The day and its tasks; the world and its needs; the Church and her life In the evening: Peace; individuals and their needs Sunday The universal Church Bishops, synods and all who lead the Church The leaders of the nations The natural world and the resources of the earth All who are in any kind of need Monday The media and

The B election to succeed him will have some unusual features to it. The ? challenge is that the Bishopric estate is short of $50,000 a year to fund a full time Bishop. In the recent past the shortfall was found by raiding various nest eggs but now all the jam jars are empty.

  • Women Bishops in the Anglican Communion
    Women bishops in the Anglican Communion Religion Media Centre Collaboration House, 77-79 Charlotte Street, London W1T 4LP | [email protected] Charity registration number: 1169562 It is 30 years since the first woman was appointed a bishop in the Anglican Communion. How have they fared since? The Anglican Communion is the third-largest grouping of Christians in the world with about 85 million members. It is made up of 40 autonomous provinces, twelve of which have consecrated women as bishops. Several others have made provision for women to become bishops but have yet to elect or appoint any. The question of whether it is permissible for women to enter holy orders as deacons, priests and bishops has been fiercely contested within the Anglican Communion’s recent history. Deacons are the initial order of clergy, able to officiate at marriages and funerals but not to preside at Holy Communion. In churches that ordain women as priests the diaconate (office of deacon) is usually a stepping stone to priesthood. The role of a bishop is to be a “shepherd,” an authoritative teacher with pastoral oversight over a diocese. Most Anglican provinces choose their bishops by election. Because the Church of England is established in law, bishops are appointed by the Crown after consultation within the Church. The first woman to become a bishop in the Anglican Communion was Barbara Harris who was consecrated the suffragan Bishop of Massachusetts in the Episcopal Church in America in February 1989. A suffragan bishop serves as an assistant to a diocesan bishop. The Episcopal Church in America was also the first Anglican church to elect a woman, Katharine Jefferts Schori, as its presiding bishop (or primate) in 2006.
