Rector's Corner

May 27, 2010
Commemoration of the First Book of Common Prayer, 1549



Dear Friends in Christ,

The Commemoration of the First Book of Common Prayer feast is an oddity.  It commemorates no person, no event in the life of Christ or the Trinity, and it is a moveable but not a transferable feast.  Rather it celebrates the first use of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) on Pentecost, June 9, 15491 during the brief reign of King Edward the 6th, Henry the 8th’s only son. 

It was a work long in process and prepared by a commission of bishops and priests.  But its and the BCP, 1552, primary author and editor, was Thomas Cranmer, the Archbishop of Canterbury.  Educated at Jesus College at Cambridge University he was a biblical scholar and a theologian.  A chance meeting with King Henry the 8th led to Cranmer being the “ambassador” of Henry’s annulment to Catherine of Aragon to universities in England, Germany and Rome.  While he did not obtain Henry’s annulment, he did meet his wife, the daughter of the Lutheran reformer and brought her back with him to England.  Cranmer was appointed by the Pope Archbishop of Canterbury in 1533.  His first act was to declare Henry’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon null and void and to validate Henry’s marriage to Anne Boleyn.  Needless to say both of these actions led to Cranmer’s and Henry’s and eventually all of England’s excommunication from Rome.

So what did Tudor England use for worship between 1533 and 1549?  That depended on who one was and where one lived.  King Henry thought of himself as an English Catholic and continued to attend Latin masses with some changes in liturgy.  (For example, Henry removed the Feast of Thomas a Becket because Becket had challenged the authority of Henry the 2nd and all references to Rome, had English Bibles placed in all churches, and seized the land and coffers of all religious orders.)  The further one was from London, the more likely that either: 1) worship after 1533 didn’t seem to change; or 2) worship was in English and unfamiliar. 

Cranmer used the medieval Sarum Rite (Salisbury), early Greek liturgies, some Gallican (French) rites, the German forms prepared by Martin Luther and a “reformed” Latin liturgy of the Archbishop of Cologne to craft the first BCP.  How Cranmer crafted the BCP was remarkable for its time: it was in the vernacular, English; it simplified the liturgies of the medieval church; and it was a prayer book for both clergy and lay.  From this first Book of Common Prayer, 1549 have come all the other editions and revisions of the BCP throughout the entire Anglican Communion.

Happy Book of Common Prayer Birthday!


Faithfully yours,

 

The Rev. Christine J. Day
Rector

1  Because the Feast of Pentecost trumps lesser feasts and because the date of Pentecost varies each year, the Commemoration of the First Book of Common Prayer is celebrated on a weekday after Pentecost, before Trinity Sunday.






College Love Box Update 

Thanks to all for your generous response to the College Love Box ministry. This Spring, 9 boxes were sent out to college students facing finals, and they were all chock-full of goodies, thanks to you! Truly, we sent out love in the name of Christ and All Saints Episcopal Church. As the Bible says in  Ecclesiastes 11:1, " Cast your bread out upon the waters, and it will return to you after many days."   Check out the bulletin board in the narthex to see the thank you notes from the students.   Thanks again, Lonna Pierce







Who’s Who While Mother Chris Is Away
and Other Office Notes


In All Saints’ 2010 Operating Budget there is no funding for “supply priests” to cover while the Rector is away.  (Nor is there funding for a “supply organist” while our organist is away or on vacation.)  Thanks to the generosity of the Very Rev. John Martinichio, District Dean and Rector, who has volunteered to celebrate Holy Eucharist on two Saturdays, there will be Eucharists twice during the month of June: June 5th and June 19th at
5 PM.  On all other Saturdays or Sundays in June either Evening Prayer or Morning Prayer will be said.  Also during June there will be no weekday Eucharists on Wednesday at 10 AM.  During June if there is a pastoral emergency please call the office, Monday-Friday 9 AM – 4 PM, or Wardens Judy Horton and Tom Johnson.  Confused?  Here’s a chart to keep track of who’s who:

Saturday, June 5th at 5 PM

The Very Rev. John Martinichio, celebrant
Sunday, June 6th at 10 AM

Gary Zurn, Officiant
Saturday, June 12th at 5 PM

Office Notes
✎New Rosters for June, July, August and September are now available for pick-up by the front entrance.  Please remember that if you are unable to serve as assigned to assist the clergy, you should find a replacement and then notify the office via phone [797-3354] or email [allsaintsjcny@aol.com] of the change. 

✎Summer Savoyards will continue their week night  rehearsals for their July production of Ruddigore  which will take place at the Anderson Center on the BU Campus, July 8-11. With the exception of Memorial Day, expect to see our parking lot full of cars Monday through Friday from 6 to 10 PM  

✎Greeting newcomers and guests is an important ministry.  June, July and August  are often the time when those who have moved into our community are church shopping before school starts.  This is a very important time to show our community how welcoming and friendly we are.  If you see newcomers, please introduce yourself and hand them a welcome pack!

✎During this June, July and August  Mother Chris, Bobbie, Laura and Gene will also take vacation time........so if you are planning to come to the church during normally scheduled office hours call ahead to make sure someone is here.  We do not post vacations in bulletins and calendars for building security purposes.  It is also important that if you have a parishioner emergency and need clergy that you phone one of the contact numbers provided on our bulletins and back cover of this newsletter. 

✎Our bills and financial obligations do not take a vacation.  Please remember to keep your pledge current.  Those assigned envelopes will note that our envelopes are mailable!  You only need to seal and affix postage and place it in the mail.  The Post Office will do the rest.






Deacon…Transitional Deacon…what’s the Difference? 
 
 
If one had attended the Rev. Richard Schaal’s ordination to the deaconate on May 8th at Christ Church, one might wonder why it is the Rev. Richard Schaal and the Rev. Dcn. Dorothy Pierce?  It’s not a form of gender discrimination.  Rather it signifies the difference between a transitional deacon (the Rev. Richard Schaal) and a vocational deacon (the Rev. Dcn Dorothy Pierce).  So what is the difference?  The ordination liturgy looks the same—it is!

In the Episcopal Church there are three orders of ordained ministry: bishop, priest and deacon.  At this time, the last General Convention in 2009 defeated a motion to change it; there is no direct ordination to either priest or bishop.  Rather these ordained orders are cumulative and not successive.  If one discerns a call to the priesthood, one must be ordained a transitional deacon first before being ordained a priest.  Likewise one must be ordained a priest first before being ordained a bishop.  This means that priests transition from deacons to priests.  Therefore before one becomes a priest, one is a transitional deacon for six months to a year.  Because transitional deacons will eventually be ordained priests, the correct designation is the Rev. X, the same as it is for priests.  Those who discern calls to be a deacon are only ordained just once, are called a vocational or a permanent deacon and are properly designated as the Rev. Dcn. X.

Whether one is a transitional deacon or a vocational deacon, the ordination vows are the same:
Bishop    My brother/sister, do you believe that you are truly called by God and his Church to the life and work of a deacon?

Answer    I believe I am so called.


Bishop    Do you now in the presence of the Church commit yourself to this trust and responsibility?
Answer    I do.

Bishop    Will you be guided by the pastoral direction and leadership of your bishop?
Answer    I will.

Bishop    Will you be faithful in prayer, and in the reading and study of the Holy Scriptures?
Answer    I will.

Bishop    Will you look for Christ in all others, being ready to help and serve those in need?
Answer    I will.

Bishop    Will you do your best to pattern your life [and that of your family, or household, or community] in accordance with the teachings of Christ, so that you may be a wholesome example to all people?
Answer    I will.

Bishop    Will you in all things seek not your glory but the glory of the Lord Christ?
Answer    I will.

While one is a deacon, whether transitional or vocational, one is to bring the world to the church and the church to the world.  The main focus for both deaconates is outreach.  However, because a transitional deacon will be eventually ordained a priest, a transitional deacon also spends time learning priest-craft and pastoral care under a priest mentor.

Exactly how this difference between vocational and transitional deacons is played out varies from diocese to diocese.  In most dioceses both deaconates usually proclaim the Gospel and “set the table” at services of Holy Eucharist.  In most dioceses transitional deacons spend more time in church and vocational deacons spend more time outside the church.  But many types of duties or tasks for deacons are designated as appropriate for either vocational or transitional by the bishop of the diocese.  In the Diocese of Central New York while both types of deacons may preach at a service only transitional deacons may officiate at Morning or Evening Prayer.

More questions?  Talk to the Rev. Dcn Dorothy Pierce or the Rev. Richard Schaal while they are at All Saints’ this summer.

 F.I.S.H  (Fellowship in Sickness/Health) Meets and Plans……

On May 22nd at 3:30 PM seven people gathered and brain-stormed about All Saints’ newest “in-reach” ministry to All Saints’ “Super” members (age 70+): the Rev. Christine Day, the Rev. H. Arthur Doersam, Eileen Patch, Linda Barkman, Cyndy Macarak, Ardis Rogers, Roberta Szwalla, and Sue Mahon.  It was decided to start a telephone tree that would first poll all “Super” members and invite them 1) be part of twice a month telephone tree for “phone fellowship”; 2) if the home bound “Super” members would like to come to the June BBQ or receive a BBQ dinner at home; and 3) if there was some other way that the F.I.S.H. committee could be helpful.

Another project of F.I.S.H. is to deliver Christmas flowers when caroling and to deliver Easter Flowers to shut-ins and to provide “Crisis Casseroles” when “Super” members come home from the hospital, etc.  On Saturday, September 11th, at 11:30 AM, F.I.S.H. plans a special “Grandparents’ Day” Lunch and service to bring “Super” members together for fellowship and worship—both those who are homebound and those who are not.  Want to be part of F.I.S.H.?  Talk to Vestry Members and co-chairs: Barbara Freed, Lauren Kiley, or Roberta Szwalla.

$$$ and Sense - April 2010

For the second year in a row, All Saints’ 2010 budget is a “faith-based” budget—based on faith: faith that All Saints’ will receive what it needs for its ministry.  In the secular world, this would have been called a “deficit” budget: a deficit of $1,310.  At All Saints’ it is a budget based upon the known resources, expected expenses and faith that with “God all things are possible” (Mt. 19:26)—including an extra $1,000 to 10,000 or so! 

In 2010 a monthly income of $13,650 will be needed to balance the expenses.  As this update of All Saints’ finances is prepared before the end of the month, this report will reflect the status as April 30, 2010

Questions?  Ask Treasurer Don Thorpe, a Warden or a Vestry member.
** For the months of January-March, the church’s NYSEG bills were much more than what was budgeted. Nancy Elwood looked into this for the Vestry and found that 1) the church and rectory were no longer on a “budget” plan; 2) the new suppliers were slightly more expensive than the “old” suppliers and 3) that the kilowatts and cubit units of energy used were in-line with January-March 2009.  Therefore it was decided at the April Vestry meeting to change back to the “old” suppliers and in October change to a budgeted plan again for 2011.  In other words, if we keep un-budgeted in 2010, we should just about be on budget for utilities because we will have very low gas usage in the warmer months.
 

*So far only fundraising has been the Spring Bon-Ton Community Day Coupon Book; Chicken BBQs will be in May, June and October.  Cabaret and Johnson City Field Days are scheduled for September.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for a Successful 1st Chicken BBQ —
Let’s Do it Again on June 19th!    


                 
Thanks to all you worked, contributed, just ate and helped to make All Saints’ 1st Church BBQ a roaring success!  We had 320 chicken halves to sell and by the earliest time ever, 1:20 PM, we were sold-out.  Our gross income was $2,100.  We sold 170 full dinners and 150 half chickens.  Thanks to Joyanne Kasmarcik for chairing the 1st BBQ.  Thanks to Dave and Judy Horton who ordered, purchased all food supplies and made the coleslaw and baked beans for all dinners.  Thanks to Rick and Bonnie Hrebin who made All Saints’ “secret marinade” for the chicken.  Thanks to those setting-up the pit who included Rick Hrebin, Matt Labosky, Scott Cramer, Paul Donnelly, and Bob McCurry.  Thanks to our dedicated “pit crew” including Matt Labosky, Bob Steber, Scott Cramer, Paul Donnelly, Philip Rea.  Thanks to the Lee Grabowski and the other Chicken Cleaners—we couldn’t do this without you!  Thanks to Roberta Szwalla and Mother Chris for filling up all those dinner boxes with coleslaw and baked beans.  Special thanks to all who made baked goods and added to the BBQ’s profit margin with tasty treats including Lucy Grabowski, Nancy Grabowski, Nancy Kiley, Mother Chris, Corrine Rea, Debbie Thorpe, Betty McCurry and Jane Chomyszak.  Thanks to all those who sold tickets and manned the bake sale including Corrine Rea, Lucy Grabowski. Nancy Grabowski. Coral Grabowski.  Thanks to Nancy Kiley, Debbie and Don Thorpe, Patti and Paul Donnelly, Dallas and Nancy Elwood, Austin and Bob Steber for helping with the clean-up!  Well done all!

Let’s do it again—on June 19th!  Chicken Barbeques with full dinner available have traditionally been the mainstay of All Saints’ fundraising efforts.  This year All Saints’ must raise $ 9,500 by fundraising.  Any amount raised over will be applied to estimated faith income (operating deficit) of $ 1,309.64.  Full Chicken Dinners at $7.50 and ½ Chickens  at $4 will be sold along with baked goods.  Sign-up in the Narthex to volunteer for various activities:  set-up, pit-crew, kitchen crew, chicken cleaning, ticket sales, and clean-up.  The goal is to have an “All Saints’ Chicken” in every home in Johnson City this Fathers’ Day weekend!  Need more information, see Rick Hrebin or Bonnie Hrebin.







A Stewardship Guide by Linda Barkman


I  was  scared  at  the  idea  of  writing  this  article.  I'm  not  very articulate.  It's hard to put my thoughts into words.  But then I started thinking of Church and all the new little ones we have now.   It made me think of a long, long, long  time ago when I was in Sunday School.  

We had our own little church service.  All the classes would get together and sing songs and have a story.  We all had little church envelops and would take turns passing the collection plate.  We also had a birthday bank we would put money in for our birthdays and we would say a little birthday prayer.

I also remember in the big church ( as we all called it ). If there was no Sunday school, I would put my envelope in the collection plate  and it would make me feel  like a grown up.  It was there that I learned that giving in church was a part of it.  Although I didn't know what it was for, it made me feel apart of it.  Now that our membership is starting to grow let’s remember we are all teachers to our little ones. Not only teaching them about giving in their little envelops, but in showing them we give of ourselves.     







Parish Picnic and Eucharist on
Sunday, July 11th at 10 AM at Highland Park!


Put Sunday, July 11th on your calendar for the Parish Picnic and Eucharist at 10 AM at Highland Park, Endwell, NY.  Everyone enjoyed this site last year and attendance was higher, so the Vestry decided to schedule the picnic there again.  So on that Sunday there will be no 10 AM service at the church.  Instead all are invited to gather at Picnic Shelter #1 at Highland Park, off Hooper Road in Endwell, for a rustic celebration of Holy Eucharist and parish picnic.  Bring a dish to pass and beverages.  All Saints’ will provide the hotdogs and hamburgers.  Highland Park has a carousel and many recreational opportunities.  Sign-up in the narthex.
