AIDS Walk New York is a 10 kilometer fundraising walkathon now in its 17th Year. AIDS Walk New York is the world's largest AIDS fundraising event. Join your congregation, as we walk as a team.

"QUESTIONING FAITH: CONFESSIONS OF A SEMINARIAN" is the dramatic quest of filmmaker Macky Alston, a minister-in-training and hospital chaplain, who is thrown into a crisis of faith when a close friend and fellow student dies of AIDS. Over the course of the film, Alston encounters an extraordinary group of people who are struggling with experiences that challenge their beliefs - from Muslims to Southern Baptists, from atheists to Buddhists to Orthodox Jews. Together, their stories provide a compelling portrait of people grappling with life at its most challenging, and how we can support each other in times of crisis across the divides of difference.

This is a very popular event from last year - our own poets and writers group "The Wild Angels" will have a reading of their work on Sunday, June 16 from 1:30 - 3:30pm in St. Saviour's Chapel. For more info, visit their web page at Wild Angels

Together we will pray the Joyful mysteries of the rosary. The Joyful mysteries begin with the announcement of the birth of Christ to his presentation at the temple. If you have never said the rosary before you are welcome to join us. We will have rosaries for your use if you do not have your own. The saying of the rosary is a contemplative act. We pray slowly and with intent that our prayers rise up as incense. It is a wonderful meditative experience in this time of stress and uncertainty. We open our hearts to the greater mystery and together join together in a community of prayer. For more information, please contact Sandy Schubert 212-642-5042 or msmostrev@aol.com

Rosary rota: We would like to schedule the Rosary on an ongoing basis. The same people are not able to do it every month and sometimes it is nice to pray and not lead.

It doesn't usually take more then an hour and it is a wonderful and rewarding experience to lead others in prayer.

Raquel Granda, Director of Cathedral Community Cares, reports that "My staff, shelter residents, etc. will be meeting at the shelter at 10:00am and then head to the subway to get to City Hall for the Rally. I have some signs for folks to carry too! Although I was wondering if congregation members were coming they may want to carry the Congregation banner as well. I also want to encourage folks who can’t come with us, but work downtown, to stop by during their lunch time. We also have postcards we will be distributing or folks can pick up some up from us that can be mailed to the mayor about this issue."

The Congregation of St. Saviour notes with enthusiasm the upcoming Enthronement on February 27th of the Most Rev. Dr. Rowan Williams as the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury. The position of Archbishop of Canterbury is one of the instruments of unity in the Anglican Communion, and he acts as a focal point for our 90 million members worldwide.

The event will take place at Canterbury Cathedral, where the first Archbishop, St. Augustine, took office in the year 597. The ceremony should begin at 10am EST, and will be broadcast by the BBC, or for a web cast, go to www.anglicancommunion.org/

Dr. Williams is no stranger to us, and he was in New York visiting our Diocese on September 11th, 2001. He will next be in New York in April, as part of a Conference on Benedictine Spirituality in the Contemporary World, to be held at Trinity Wall Street. For more info on the conference, please call 1-800-457-0244.

To learn more about the new Archbishop, read an interview of him by the Daily Telegraph at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2003/02/12/nbish112.xml

In many traditions, Lent is a time for cleaning in preparation for Easter and spring. First your soul, then your kitchen, then the rest of the house is cleansed and purified of the past year’s accumulations. In this way everything is made ready to approach the season of salvation and rebirth.

This year this festive event will again be a fund-raiser, however all proceeds will be for the Congregation of St. Saviour. There will be a suggested donation of $10. We anticipate a great turnout. Again this year we will dance to the music provided by C.J. Everett and his Dixieland trio, and for the first time ever, a special presentation by the Jazzy Randolph Dancers Inc., a vibrant group of senior dancers full of rhythm and vitality-not to be missed. So come and enjoy the party. All are welcome. ~~Bill McCadden, Chair of Events Committee

In response to the threat of war, different religious communities will be gathering to pray outside the UN every day during the month of March. Episcopal Day is Friday, March 7: the first Friday in Lent. Accordingly (both liturgically and politically), we will be chanting the Great Litany in solemn procession. Please come join us for what is bound to be a powerful and moving act of public prayer. Reverend Earl Kooperkamp, the event's organizer, has requested that we all come dressed in our "Sunday best," so do wear any and all vestments, cassocks, surplices, choir robes, suits, dresses, hats, or Fabulous Outfits that you might otherwise don on a Sunday. The Lenten color is purple, for those who care to be liturgically co-ordinated. Please contact Mary-Jane Rubenstein at mvr2002@columbia.edu with any questions.

The Children's Abbey will start it's Fall Season on Sunday September 7th at 11am.!

Children's Abbey is not merely a "Sunday School" but a full-fledged Christian community for children (age 3-12) and their families. The program provides a traditional Christian education, with an emphasis on the Jewish roots of Christianity as well as respect for all faith traditions. Many children are from interfaith and non-traditional. families. Francesca, along with the volunteer teaching staff, have committed to maintaining a safe space in which all may feel thoroughly welcome! Volunteers are needed and welcomed.

Each Sunday begins with a Worship Service and the ringing of the Abbey Bell, allowing the children to enter into a sacred space. There is hymn-singing, a candle-lighting ritual and prayers (formal and spontaneous!) After prayers, a Bible story is read, followed by a creative response utilizing the visual arts, writing, music, dance, drama or a service project. Free play, conversation and fellowship over the snack table foster the friendships that make Children's Abbey a genuine community and not merely a "class." Children join the adult congregation for Communion and are free to sit with their parents or remain in the special, reserved Children's Abbey seats with their teachers. Francesca may be reached by email at FMFortunato@aol.com

We look forward to seeing you!!

Maundy Thursday Eucharist

Following the Maundy Thursday Liturgy the Cathedral's fourteen Altars will be stripped and washed. This practice dates from the 7th century and began for the utilitarian purpose of cleaning and washing the church in preparation for Easter. But the stark, bare church reflected so clearly the fitting tone of the occasion that the stripping became a ceremony in its own right. The Altar represents the body of Christ and in washing it we prepare for Our Lord's death and burial in the tomb. If you would like to participate please come to the Chapel of St Saviour at the conclusion of the service.

Last year's National Night Out campaign involved citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials from over 10,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide. In all, over 34 million people participated in NNO 2003. NATIONAL NIGHT OUT is designed to:

EPISCOPAL CHARITIES EVENT

You are invited, as a Member of the Congregation, to participate in these two events on Tuesday, August 31st.

• "Let Justice Roll" Service 7-8.30pm
• "Ring of Hope" 8.30-9.30pm - Congregation particularly needed (see last paragraph)

Service at Riverside Church - Rev. Canon Storm Swain participating for the Cathedral and Congregation.

The National Council of Churches and the Center for Community Change are co-sponsoring these public events with national, state and local partner organizations to keep the issue of ending poverty front and center in this presidential election year. Participants are seeking commitments from local, state and national public officials and delegates to the Republican and Democratic National Conventions that they will work to shape public policies to meet the needs of people living in poverty and, ultimately, to end poverty.  Other such events have been held all around the country including during the DNC in Boston.  LetJusticeRoll@ncccusa.org

On Tuesday August the 31st, a non partisan interfaith service at New York City's The Riverside Church and "Ring of Hope" human chain will show that people of faith are deeply concerned about poverty and social justice issues.

The 7 p.m. service - to be broadcast live by WBAI-FM radio - and 8.30p.m- 9.30p.m. human chain (with flashlights) are the latest in a multi-city campaign to press the presidential candidates, convention delegates and voters to address the needs of the nation's poor, sick, unemployed and disenfranchised.  Sponsors include the "Let Justice Roll: Faith and Community Voices Against Poverty" campaign of the National Council of Churches USA and Center for Community Change, The Riverside Church's Mobilization 2004, in collaboration with dozens of partners nationwide.  The Rev. Dr. James A. Forbes, Jr., Senior Minister of The Riverside Church (pictured, below), who also will speak at the August 31 service. Archdeacon Michael Kendall will be taking part of behalf of the Episcopal Diocese of New York and Canon Storm Swain on behalf of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

 

The heart of this service is A Statement of Vision that has been formed by listening to groups of poverty stricken individuals and families around the country over the last 18 months.  http://www.ncccusa.org/letjusticeroll/visionstatement.html

 

An integral part of the celebration will be the Ring of Hope, in which New Yorkers and visitors to New York will surround the island of Manhattan in a circle of light to raise the prophetic justice principles and give voice to peace and social justice.

Members of the Congregation of St. Saviour are invited at 8.30pm to form the Ring of Hope along Broadway between 108th & 113th Streets.  We will need a good number of Congregation members to form this part of the Ring.  Let us listen to the poor and speak out with them.  Please RSVP to pastor@stjohndivine.org  Bring a flashlight, bring a friend.

Healing at the Cathedral - a workshop by Rev. Dr. Anne Brewer

The healing ministry is part of the Christian tradition which began with Jesus. Healing was an integral part of Jesus’ ministry, one of the ways that the Kingdom of God was made manifest. The Early Church also practiced healing prayer as it continued Jesus’ ministry after his resurrection and ascension. In the 20th century, Anglicans, as well as many other Christians, have rediscovered healing prayer, and it is practiced in a variety of churches, including the Cathedral.

The Cathedral has an active healing group which offers prayers for healing in St. James’s Chapel during the 11:00 service on Sundays.

The healing group is also sponsoring a series of workshops on Christian healing prayer over the coming year. These workshops will explore different aspects of healing prayer as well as offering time for reflection, worship, and the opportunity to participate in a healing service.

These first workshop, “Healing and the Body” will take place on November 13 in the Common Room of the Cathedral School from 9am-1pm. The Rev. Dr. Anne Brewer, priest and physician, will lead the workshop.

Third Session: Our Anglican Liturgy - Understanding the significance of our beautiful rites and prayers. Led by the Rev. Tom Miller, canon for liturgy and the arts.

Help make it happen.

Print out this web coupon for $1 off admission to the show.

Help us put on this very classy, very popular Congregation fund-raiser which brings thousands of shoppers to the Cathedral grounds and raises money for the Congregation and the Cathedral. We need congregation members to work the weekend of the show. What about setting aside a few hours on December 3, 4 or 5 to sell tickets, work in the cafe or be a “booth sitter?” (Booth sitters relieve exhibitors who are working alone and need a bathroom break.) Ruth Mueller-Maerki is our volunteer coordinator this year (and for several years!). Let her know when you will be available. Working the crafts fair is a great way to get to know other members of the Congregation while supporting your spiritual home. Contact Ruth at Ruth@Mueller-Maerki.com Another important way to help is simply to come to the show and bring as many friends as possible. Entry fee with discount card is $5.00. All congregation members will receive a card in the mail.

Faith on Film this Thursday Dec. 9th!

1967's A Time for Burning sheds history and hope for bridging racial tension.

This Thursday December 9th, Auburn Media's Faith on Film series will screen the award-winning documentary A Time for Burning. Filmed in 1966, a time of heightened black and white racial tensions in the United States, this program chronicles the debate, decision, and action by the white, middle-class congregation of the Augustana Lutheran Church in Omaha, NE, that attempted to bridge the barrier between themselves and the black community of the city. Executive Producer Bob Lee will be on hand for an update to this extraordinary story and to answer questions about the film.

Faith on Film is a FREE monthly film series showcasing extraordinary documentaries by independent filmmakers focusing on religious life and experience. This interactive screening series will include discussion with filmmakers and religious leaders on the subjects explored in the featured award-winning films.

A Time for Burning will be screened at Auburn Theological Seminary at 7pm in the Stewart Room. Auburn is located on the campus of Union Theological Seminary at 3041 Broadway. This free screening is open to the general public and will feature post-film discussion.

The sacred arts offer a tangible, meditative entry into a deep spiritual practice. Each step taken in the process of creating a work of sacred art- the materials, preparation and technique- offers the creator a deep and meaningful reflection of his or her spiritual growth, representing the delving of the spirit into action. Through copying in the manner of an apprentice, our ego is removed from the expectation of “beautiful art”. This leaves us free to allow God to work through us.

This work is about the process, the journey, not the end result, which is in God’s hands. Artistic “talent” or background is not necessary. Everyone is welcome!

This 2 day workshop offers an opportunity to explore a meditative form of prayer through the making of sacred art. Using the language and tradition of Christian art forms such as icons and medieval manuscripts, participants will create a small illuminated painting on a wood panel to take home. Panels will be gilded and painted with 22k gold leaf and handmade egg tempera paint, using spiritual deepening as the guiding force. The cost for the 2 days, including materials, is $60.
