  • WELCOME to the CATHEDRAL of ALL
    BETHESDA EPISCOPAL CHURCH Washington Street near Broadway Saratoga Springs, New York 12866 THE FEAST OF SAINT POLYCARP, BISHOP & MARTYR 23 FEBRUARY 2019 11:00A.M. Preface to the Ordination Rites The Holy Scriptures and ancient Christian writers make it clear that from the apostles’ time, there have been different ministries within the Church. In particular, since the time of the New Testament, three distinct orders of ordained ministers have been characteristic of Christ’s holy catholic Church. First, there is the order of bishops who carry on the apostolic work of leading, supervising, and uniting the Church. Secondly, associated with them are the presbyters, or ordained elders, in subsequent times generally known as priests. Together with the bishops, they take part in the governance of the Church, in the carrying out of its missionary and pastoral work, and in the preaching of the Word of God and administering his holy Sacraments. Thirdly, there are deacons who assist bishops and priests in all of this work. It is also a special responsibility of deacons to minister in Christ’s name to the poor, the sick, the suffering, and the helpless. The persons who are chosen and recognized by the Church as being called by God to the ordained ministry are admitted to these sacred orders by solemn prayer and the laying on of episcopal hands. It has been, and is, the intention and purpose of this Church to maintain and continue these three orders; and for this purpose these services of ordination and consecration are appointed. No persons are allowed to exercise the offices of bishop, priest, or deacon in this Church unless they are so ordained, or have already received such ordination with the laying on of hands by bishops who are themselves duly qualified to confer Holy Orders.

  • View the ANZAC Day 2021 Order of Service
    Westminster Abbey A Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving to mark ANZAC Day Sunday 25th April 2021 Noon Crete, 1941. A happy meeting of troops of the Australian Imperial Forces and the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces on the island. 2021 marks the 80th anniversary of the Greece and Crete Campaigns of WW2. Image supplied by the Australian War Memorial. HISTORICAL NOTE This year marks the 106th anniversary of the landings on the Gallipoli Peninsula on 25th April 1915. The Gallipoli campaign exacted a heavy toll on both sides. Some 50,000 Allied troops from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, France, Newfoundland, and India lost their lives. Including those wounded or evacuated for sickness, the total number of Allied casualties numbered around 250,000. The Turkish forces lost over 86,000 in addition to those wounded. Australian and New Zealand forces fought for the first time under a united command as the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, or, more famously, the ANZACs. Casualties at Gallipoli amounted to almost 9,000 Australians killed and in excess of 19,000 wounded. For New Zealand, near to 3,000 lost their lives and over 5,000 were wounded. These figures do not include those who died as a result of mental trauma in the years following. In both countries, ANZAC Day, 25th April, not only commemorates those first landings at Gallipoli, but also all the Australians and New Zealanders who have served their countries in time of conflict, and especially those who have given their lives in that service. After a year in which we have borne hardships of a very different kind from the sufferings which the ANZACs endured—the shocking effects of the worst global pandemic in a century—we take, as the theme for ANZAC Day 2021, “Remembrance.

He discovered who her parents were and, after obtaining their permission, he arranged sittings to make preliminary sketches of this young lady. Mr. Attwood was one of the most sought-after sculptors in Carrara marble, which comes from Tuscany in Italy; and so he chose a block of marble which was just the right size, and began to create his Madonna.

  • Q Meissen Commission Meeting September 2009 – Report
    Standing Committee – Report 2010 APPENDIX Q MEISSEN COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 2009 REPORT A meeting of the Meissen Commission was held at Whalley Abbey, Diocese of Blackburn, from 17th-21st September, 2009, chaired by the Bishop of Croydon, the Rt Rev Nick Baines. The Commission is a joint Church of England and German Protestant Church (Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland, EKD) body, but has an observer representing the three Celtic Anglican Churches. It is my privilege to fulfil this role for the current five-year period. The Meissen Commission exchanges information about developments in the two Churches and promotes co-operation, mutual understanding and partnerships. Some of the issues covered at the Whalley Abbey meeting will be highlighted here. The years 2008 to 2017 are being observed in the EKD as a Luther Decade, leading to the 500th anniversary of the Luther’s posting of his theses on the church door in Wittenberg. Each year is being devoted to a different Reformation theme. This programme presents an opportunity for the EKD to assert itself and highlight its witness in a growingly secular German society. Allied to this is a current reform process in the EKD, in which the Church is seeking to re-structure in the light of a decline in active Church membership. Part of this process is the intention to amalgamate ‘Landeskirchen’ (regional Churches), reducing the total number from 23 to between 8 to 12. A new three-fold focus on mission, preaching and liturgy is a fundamental part of the reform process as the EKD seeks renewal. The EKD brings together Lutheran, Reformed and United (Lutheran/Reformed) regional Churches in a national Church.

It is the Last Post of this life and the Reveille of the next. Death is the end of our present life, it is the parting from loved ones; it is the setting out into the unknown.We overcome death by accepting it as the will of a loving God, by finding Him in it. Death, like birth, is only a transformation, another birth. When we die we shall change our state, that is all. And in faith in God, it is as easy and natural as going to sleep here and waking up there. Journal of a Soul Pope John XXIII (1881-1963) We thank Thee, Lord, who by Thy Spirit doth our faith restore. When we with worldly things commune and prayerless close our door; We lose our precious gift divine to worship and adore; Then Thou, O Saviour, fill our hearts to love Thee evermore. Amen. May Christ give to you at this time His Peace in your Soul His Presence in your Heart His Power in your Life. Lord, Help me to live this day quietly, easily; to lean on Thy great strength trustfully, respectfully; to await the unfolding of Thy will patiently, serenely; to meet others peacefully, joyously; to face tomorrow confidently, courageously.
