The cheery sacred music — all too rare in a medium rife with staid and service does begin when the service ends.

Crowder, Content Editor Saint Aidan, Bishop and Confessor 31 August, A.D. 2015 The Crozier The Right Rev’d D. Francis Lerow, Bishop Ordinary Missions and Decisions, Planning and Money For many of our parishes, renewal tends to be an ongoing affair. We think very hard about our home parish. All of us want our church to have impact on the community and our community to have greater access to worship and the Traditional Anglican way. We depend on our vestries to drive the wagon that ensures that proper planning and resources are available to support the annual plan established at the Annual Parish Meetings. The problem with planning is that it quickly can lose the interest of the members of the parish. It is easy to fall back into our old ways, thinking that the Sunday Worship Service is all we need to bring them to Christ and eventually membership in the Church. Or if we have a young electrifying priest that will lead the way all will be well. It would be nice if it was that easy. But, we all know it is not. So what does it take? What kind of investment of time and resources does it take to really make things happen? What will cause the kind of renewal for which we all hope and pray? The business metric used to determine the effort and cost to sell a particular item of merchandise, as a rule of thumb, is to measure how many times their product gets the attention of a potential buyer.

  • Understanding the Parts of the Mass
    Understanding the Parts of the Mass EXPLANING EACH PART OF THE MASS BY FR. FRANCIS J. HOFFMAN, JCD I know you’ll learn something new about the Mass and I hope that it helps to deepen your faith. Please feel free to share these lessons with your friends and family, and Be assured of my prayers. 1 HOLY WATER As you enter the Church, look for the Holy Water font near the entrance. It is a pious custom to dip your right hand in the font and bless yourself with the Holy Water as you quietly say, “In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” This little ritual reminds us of our baptism – that’s why the font is near the door of the Church, because we ‘entered the Church through baptism.’ At the same time, this gesture is also a sacramental and can absolve us of our venial sins. It helps remind us that we have just entered into a sacred place for a sacred time. GENUFLECTION “At the name of Jesus, every knee must bow.” That’s what St. Paul wrote years ago. And so, as the priest and ministers approach the altar they make a genuflection to honor the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist in the tabernacle. If the tabernacle is not in the center of the sanctuary, then the priest bows to the altar and the crucifix as a sign of reverence. When the faithful enter the Church, and before they enter their pew, it is praiseworthy for them to make a genuflection to the tabernacle.

  • Credo for Free and Responsible Communication in a Democratic
    Credo for Free and Responsible Communication in a Democratic Society 2017 Review Committee: Mary Stuckey (Chair), Mike Sproule, and Kathie Turner Current Credo (Adopted by the Speech Association of America in 1963; Reaffirmed by the Legislative Assembly passing the report and recommendations of the Taskforce on the Public Policy Platform in 2011) Recognizing the essential place of free and responsible communication in a democratic society, and recognizing the distinction between the freedoms our legal system should respect and the responsibilities our educational system should cultivate, we members of the National Communication Association1 endorse the following statement of principles: WE BELIEVE that freedom of speech and assembly must hold a central position among America’s constitutional principles, and we express our determined support for the right of peaceful expression by any communicative means available. WE SUPPORT the proposition that a free society can absorb with equanimity speech which exceeds the boundaries of generally accepted beliefs and mores; that much good and little harm can ensue if we err on the side of freedom, whereas much harm and little good may follow if we err on the side of suppression. WE CRITICIZE as misguided those who believe that the justice of their cause confers license to interfere physically and coercively with speech of others, and we condemn intimidation, whether by powerful majorities or strident minorities, which attempts to restrict free expression. WE ACCEPT the responsibility of cultivating by precepts and example, in our classrooms and in our communities, enlightened uses of communication; of developing in our students a respect for precision and accuracy in communication, and for reasoning based upon evidence and a judicious discrimination among values.

  • “The Great Thanksgiving,” Which Remind Us of What God Did for Us in Jesus
    The words we say in preparation are often called “The Great Thanksgiving,” which remind us of what God did for us in Jesus. It begins with a call and response called the “Sursum Corda” from the Latin words for “Lift up your hearts.” It is an ancient part of the liturgy since the very early centuries of the Church, and a remnant of an early Jewish call to worship. These words remind us that when we observe communion, we are to be thankful and joyful. The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise. The next section is spoken by the clergy and is called “The Proper Preface.” It has optional words that connect to the particular day or season of the church year. We will notice that by the time this communion liturgy is over, it will have covered all three parts of the Trinity. This first section focuses on God the Father: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. The congregation then recites “The Sanctus,” from the Latin word for “Holy.” It comes from two Scripture texts: 1) Isaiah’s vision of heaven in Isaiah 6:3: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory,” and 2) Matthew 21:9, in which Jesus enters Jerusalem and the people shout, “Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” These words remind us that through communion, we enter a holy experience with Jesus.

  • The Nicene Creed
    THE NICENE CREED "Our profession of faith begins with God, for God is the First and the Last, the beginning and the end of everything. The Credo begins with God the Father, for the Father is the first divine person of the Most Holy Trinity; our Creed begins with the creation of heaven and earth, for creation is the beginning and the foundation of all God's works." (Catechism of the Catholic Church #198) Catholic belief is succinctly expressed in the profession of faith or credo called the Nicene Creed: THE NICENE CREED I believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, of all that is visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven; (bow during next two lines) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became man. For our sake, He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and His kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
