The setting used for this service is the Spatzenmesse KV 220 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-91). 2 The Gathering At the entry of the choir and clergy all sing the Introit hymn Fill thou my life, O Lord my God, in every part with praise, that my whole being may proclaim thy being and thy ways. Not for the lip of praise alone, nor e’en the praising heart I ask, but for a life made up of praise in every part: Praise in the common things of life, its goings out and in; praise in each duty and each deed, however small and mean. Fill every part of me with praise: let all my being speak of thee, and of thy love, O Lord, poor though I be and weak. So shalt thou, Lord, receive from me the praise and glory due; and so shall I begin on earth the song for ever new. So shall each fear, each fret, each care, be turnèd into song; and every winding of the way the echo shall prolong. So shall no part of day or night unblest or common be, but all my life, in every step, be fellowship with thee. Words: Horatius Bonar (1808-1889) Tune: Richmond 3 GREETING President We meet in the name of Jesus Christ, who died and was raised to the glory of God the Father. Grace and mercy be with you.

Look with compassion on your children in their loss; give to troubled hearts the light of hope, and strengthen in us the gift of faith, in Jesus Christ our Lord. All Amen. PRAYERS OF PENITENCE President As children of a loving heavenly Father, let us ask his forgiveness, for he is gentle and full of compassion.

All Amen. Sit The Liturgy of the Word FIRST READING read by Patricia Routledge CBE A reading from the prophet Isaiah Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, ‘My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God’? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. (40.27-31) At the end the reader says This is the word of the Lord All Thanks be to God. 6 Remain seated as the Choir sings PSALM 85 Lord, thou art become gracious unto thy land : thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob. Thou hast forgiven the offence of thy people : and covered all their sins. Thou hast taken away all thy displeasure : and turned thyself from thy wrathful indignation. Turn us then, O God our Saviour : and let thine anger cease from us. Wilt thou be displeased at us for ever : and wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from one generation to another? Wilt thou not turn again, and quicken us : that thy people may rejoice in thee? Shew us thy mercy, O Lord : and grant us thy salvation. I will hearken what the Lord God will say concerning me : for he shall speak peace unto his people, and to his saints, that they turn not again. For his salvation is nigh them that fear him : that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth are met together : righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall flourish out of the earth : and righteousness hath looked down from heaven. Yea, the Lord shall shew loving-kindness : and our land shall give her increase. Righteousness shall go before him : and he shall direct his going in the way. SECOND READING read by Major-General Martin White CB CBE JP, HM Lord Lieutenant of the Isle of Wight A reading from the second letter of Timothy In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you: proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favourable or unfavourable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching. For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths. As for you, always be sober, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, carry out your ministry fully. As for me, I am already being poured out as a libation, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the 7 good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing. (4.1-8) At the end the reader says This is the word of the Lord All Thanks be to God. All stand to sing King of glory, King of peace, I will love thee; And that love may never cease, I will move thee. Thou hast granted my request, Thou hast heard me; Thou didst note my working breast, Thou hast spared me. Wherefore with my utmost art I will sing thee; And the cream of all my heart I will bring thee. Though my sins against me cried, Thou didst clear me; And alone, when they replied, Thou didst hear me.

  • Sergei Bulgakov and the Search for the Ecumenical Future
    The Hour is Coming, and is Now Come: Sergei Bulgakov and the Search for the Ecumenical Future by Scott Allan Sharman A Thesis submitted to the Faculty the University of St. Michael’s College and the Theological Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College © Copyright by Scott Sharman 2014 The Hour is Coming, and is Now Come: Sergei Bulgakov and the Search for the Ecumenical Future Scott Sharman Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of St. Michael’s College 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation draws upon the lived and written ecclesiology of Sergei Nikolaevich Bulgakov (1871-1944) in order to make theological and methodological contributions to the current debates surrounding the future of the Christian ecumenical movement. Part I lays the groundwork for the subsequent chapters. It begins with a brief introduction to Bulgakov’s personal history and context, as well as an identification of the most relevant primary and secondary sources on the topics of Church and ecumenism. This is followed by a short survey of the origins and significant highlights of the ecumenical movement in the twentieth century, and an identification of certain challenges which have emerged in the latter part of the century. Part II represents the heart of the study. It sets out to engage in an in-depth examination of the key features of Bulgakov’s ecumenical thought and career. Initial attention is given to both the personal and intellectual influences which shaped Bulgakov’s vision of Christian unity.

  • The Louth Herald
    The Louth Herald The magazine of the Team Parish of Louth 60p JUNE 2014 A celebratery walk of about 2 miles, from Westminster Abbey where we had gathered, to St. Paul's Cathedral, led by a band, on a warm, sunny afternoon began this momentous day of thankgiving and happiness. On reaching the Ca- thedral, all the "1994 Ordinands", retired to the Crypt to robe in albs and white stoles. We then met the Archbishop, Justin Welby, for photographs. As we stood on the steps we were a wall of white. The Archbishop greeted us and chat- ted informally.Photographs over, we were ushered through the three entrences into the Cathedral. I was aware of a kind of roaring noise and unrealistically thought it was a lawn mower, then as it increased, I thought it was an areoplane. On stepping inside the relative darkness after the bright sunshine , I was momentarily blinded but the noise had now reached a crescendo. As I regained my sight, I realized the whole enormous congregation was standing and applauding us. Tears sprang into my eyes. It was overwhelming and the first time that it dawned on me that we were re- garded as pioneers. It was a strangely lonely and emotional walk up the aisle to my seat. I am told the applause lasted about 25 minutes. Twenty years ago at my ordination in Lincoln Cathedral, I had thought that then was the pinacle of our struggle to be accepted on equal terms, but Saturday, 3rd. of May, at St. Paul's was a final aknowledgement.

  • In January 1991 Gordon Sleight Was Still the Vicar of Crosby with Joanna Anderson As Curate
    In January 1991 Gordon Sleight was still the Vicar of Crosby with Joanna Anderson as Curate. The Youth & Community Worker was Mick Maskell with Pat Newcombe as his assistant. The Parish Clerk was Janice Brader and the Church Wardens were Barbara Scott and Norman Jackson. Tim Savage was PCC Secretary and Steve Barker was PCC Treasurer. Lesley Sleight, the Parish Magazine Editor, recorded that 1991 would see some changes in the magazine as a new team would be taking over during the next few months. Subscriptions remained the same at 15p. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity was marked with a series of services in the Town Centre Parishes between 18-25 January. The Speaker for the Lent United Services and discussions, scheduled for February and March, would be the Right Reverend David Tustin, the Bishop of Grimsby. Pat Newcombe wrote that the St George’s Credit Union, which was set up during the summer of 1989 with 30 members, now had funds of £2,000, and it should become registered this year. To join this Credit Union a member had to live within the Parish of Crosby or be connected with the work of the Church or Community Department. All members had a say in how the Credit Union operates. A Credit Union was useful for many reasons; it kept local money in the local area. Loans were made from the savings pool and repayments allowed this money to be re-loaned and so on. No one was exploited and interest rates are set by law and are the same for all members.
