Bishop's E-pistle for July 8, 2008

Bishop Smith's E-pistle for July 8 The Rt. Rev. Kirk S. Smith Bishop of Arizona This will be the last regular E-pistle before Laura and I leave for England on Thursday. For those of you who might suffer withdrawal from these weekly musings, there is good news--you can now get one every day beginning July 12 until August 3! Continued at: http://azdiocese.org/dfc/newsdetail_2/388 Blogging from Lambeth Conference Want to travel to Lambeth with the Bishop and Laura Smith? They will be traveling to the Lambeth Conference in Canterbury, England from July 10 to Aug. 4. You can do so electronically by checking in frequently to the special website www.lambethdaily.blogspot.com. Here Bishop Smith will post daily impressions (and some pictures we hope) of the conference. Look for the first entries beginning July 11th. American Girl club to start   Greta Huls Communication's Officer PHOENIX - Please join St. Stephen's, Phoenix as they form an American Girl Club for people of all ages. The first organizational meeting on Saturday, July 12 will begin with a potluck breakfast before they go to see the new American Girl G-rated movie "Kit Kittredge" (www.kitkittredge.com) at a local theater. Proposed activities include reading, cooking, field trips, an overnight lock-in, doll first aid, customized dolls, and guest speakers. We hope to meet every 1-3 months, depending on the interest. Attendees do not need to have an American Girl (www.americangirl.com) doll to attend, just an interest in history and a willingness to join in the fun. Please contact Greta at either 480-946-7861 or ghuls@amug.org or St. Stephen's at 602-840-0437.   On the Net: http://azdiocese.org/events/79 Historic stained glass in peril Greta Huls Communications Officer   TOMBSTONE - The historic stained glass windows of St. Paul's are in peril.  Built in 1882, St. Paul's is the oldest Protestant church building in the state still standing on its original site and used for its original purpose and the first Episcopal church west of the Mississippi still serving people of all faiths in its original building. It is a registered National Historic Landmark and one of its builders, The Rev. Endicott Peabody was added by Bishop Smith to the diocesan liturgical calendar last year  (azdiocese.azdiocese.org/dfc/newsdetail_2/207). More than 400 faithful from around the diocese attended St. Paul's 125th anniversary last year (azdiocese.azdiocese.org/dfc/newsdetail_2/186) and can attest that the facility is still in excellent condition and lovingly cared for by the growing congregation. However, their stained glass windows are in dire need of restoration. Stained glass windows have a normal life expectancy of 75 to 100 years. Theirs are 125 years old and are starting to buckle. Complete restoration (re-leading) will save their windows for another 75 to 100 years. Cost of restoration and protection against accidental damage and/or vandalism is $92,000, well beyond their normal capabilities. They believe it is their task to preserve  this beautiful house of God for future generations. Contributions can be mailed either to St. Paul's Episcopal Church, P.O.

Bishop's E-pistle for July 1, 2008

Bishop Smith's E-pistle for July 1 The Rt. Rev. Kirk S.

So far the flood waters are responsible for the deaths of five people, the displacement of 38,000 others and have inflicted up to $1 billion in damage to Iowa's agricultural sector. The damage to infrastructure is severe. Across eastern Iowa, the flooding rivers have washed out railroad lines, halted barge traffic on the Mississippi River and closed major roadways. Twenty-four counties have been declared disaster areas to date. More rain is expected in the region and officials fear that flood waters will breech 27 levees along the Mississippi River in Iowa and Missouri later this week. Working with its partner the Episcopal Diocese of Iowa, ERD is providing emergency assistance to people who have been displaced from their homes. Families will be given temporary shelter and provided with food, clothing, first aid and other basic necessities.

A Final Thought The rhetoric from the recent GAFCON conference of ultra-conservative Anglicans in Jerusalem was about what was to be expected. Although the group did not go so far as to formally separate themselves from the rest of the Anglican Communion, they vowed to make life miserable for those who don't agree with them by continuing to interfere in the internal affairs of other provinces. You can read their statements, and well as the response of the Archbishop of Canterbury at www.episcopalcafe.com. The statement from our own Presiding Bishop sums up the situation succinctly: "Much of the Anglican world must be lamenting the latest emission from GAFCON. Anglicanism has always been broader than some find comfortable. This statement does not represent the end of Anglicanism, merely another chapter in a centuries-old struggle for dominance by those who consider themselves the only true believers. Anglicans will continue to worship God in their churches, serve the hungry and needy in their communities, and build missional relationships with others across the globe, despite the desire of a few leaders to narrow the influence of the gospel. We look forward to the opportunities of the Lambeth Conference for constructive conversation, inspired prayer, and relational encounters. "It remains to be seen how these latest actions will affect the gathering at Lambeth. My guess is, not much, since most of the participants have already announced that they are boycotting that gathering. How sad it is that when Africa is imploding under the stress of poverty, hunger, political corruption and HIV/Aids, so many of its bishops can find nothing better to do than to attack the doctrinal purity of the relatively tiny American and Canadian Episcopal Churches." +Kirk  To the best of my knowledge, every single church, mission, and preaching station within the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona now has (at least) a very basic website.

Bishop's E-pistle for June 24, 2008

Bishop Smith's E-pistle for June 24 The Rt. Rev. Kirk S. Smith Bishop of Arizona This past week we had an experience of how dangerous it can be to cross into that murky area which separates church and state. Unbeknownst to the Vestry and leadership of one of our parishes, a video was filmed in the parish sanctuary. The video appeared on the internet and is a pointed attack on a political party. The video included "special thanks" to the church in its credits. This was not an appropriate use of church property.

Mulvey, previously Rector at Episcopal Church of the Ascension in Seattle, Wash., will celebrate her first services at St. Anthony on June 28 at 5 p.m. and June 29 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. A reception to welcome Mulvey and her family will follow each service.

The Native Ministries Program Group has supported Dory and his family through fund raising at last fall's convention and through help during our holiday food drive. Dory had a bone marrow transplant last Christmas and went into remission for a few months. However, the leukemia has returned, and he is once again receiving treatment at the cancer center at the University Medical Center in Tucson. This illness has caused a great physical, emotional and financial strain on Dory and his family.

A Final Thought The second part of The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life was released yesterday and it has some startling implications about our religious thinking, especially about the idea that there is only one way to heaven. Many pastors report that their most frequently asked question is, "Will people who are not Christians get to heaven?"  For most Americans (7 out of 10) the answer is "yes."  Here are all the details as reported by Time: +Kirk    "Americans of every religious stripe are considerably more tolerant of the beliefs of others than most of us might have assumed, according to a new poll released Monday. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life last year surveyed 35,000 American, and found that 70% of respondents agreed with the statement "Many religions can lead to eternal life." Even more remarkable was the fact that 57% of Evangelical Christians were willing to accept that theirs might not be the only path to salvation, since most Christians historically have embraced the words of Jesus, in the Gospel of John, that "no one comes to the Father except through me." Even as mainline churches had become more tolerant, the exclusivity of Christianity's path to heaven has long been one of the Evangelicals' fundamental tenets. The new poll suggests a major shift, at least in the pews."
