<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At the recent
Synod of the Society, with prayerful consideration, the Missionary Society of
St. John the Evangelist (MSJ) joyfully affirmed and requested the Rt. Rev. Juan
Alberto Morales, OSB to become the MSJ Bishop Protector. Bishop Morales has accepted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Bishop Morales is
Bishop of the Diocese of Quincy in the Anglican Church in North
America (ACNA). In 1985 he founded St. Benedict's Abbey in Puerto Rico and was
its first Abbot. In 1996 St. Benedict's Abbey moved to Bartonville, IL.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We are all missionaries, and Bp. Morales is
constantly reminding laity and clergy alike of that shared role. For Bp.
Morales, making disciples is an imperative, not just a nice statement. Bishop
Morales’ missioner attitude is the ideal fit for the work being done within the
MSJ. We are blessed that Bishop Morales has agreed to serve in this capacity.</span></div>

<br />
Christ the King Anglican Church, Liberty, KY hosted the Missionary Society of St. John the Evangelist Synod: October 15-18, 2014.<br />
<br />
God was present and visible not only in the beautiful Fall colors of the season, but in the Holy Spirit's guidance in all that was addressed. <br />
<br />
Through and with His Spirit much was accomplished: worship, prayer, Holy Eucharist, testimony, hearing of vows made, revision of Canons and Rule of Life, affirmation of our new Father General (Fr. Bob Lemmon, MSJ), naming of our MSJ Bishop Protector, encouragement and sweet, sweet fellowship.<br />
<br />
Much more to follow on this historic gathering in the days to come. Please stay tuned ........... <br />

<div class="post-header">
</div>
As a boy growing up in an evangelical denomination, my favorite services
were the missionary services. We had them periodically. You would
know it was for real, because at the back of the church there would be a
table set up with a fantastic display of ornaments and artifacts from
the "mission" field. The missionary would be sporting some unusual
clothing typical of the people group he was serving. There would be a
slide projector set up in the nave, with some men working desperately to
get the screen set up and the projector focused, working out all the
technical difficulties before the service was to start. The service
would begin normally then the pastor would turn the service over to the
missionary. If he was a particularly gifted story teller, which most
were, I would sit enraptured for the duration. Story after story would
be told, of the harsh living conditions, the dangers from bandits or
thugs, the culinary tastes of the people group. The stories would be
enhanced by the slides showing real scenery, real people, beautiful
people, pitiful people, and of course children- lots of children. One
missionary I remember actually had mastered the use of a blow gun and
stuck a dart into a wicker basket as a demonstration. The service would
always close with a special offering taken up and prayer cards. I
would leave the service, wishing God would call me to be a missionary.
You could imagine my disappointment when He called me to be a pastor.
Just a "plain <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ol</span>' pastor."<br />
<br />
Was I in for a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">surprise</span>.
What I did not realize then as I do now, that the United States has
become a mission field, and difficult one at that. Missionary is not a
term that should be limited to foreign missionaries. What makes a
missionary, is not where he/she is called to serve, but rather the
heart, the spirit in which that service is rendered. What is the
difference between a Foreign missionary and a domestic missionary? That
the domestic missionary gets to enjoy to comforts and luxuries of
staying in the United States? Not hardly. The main difference is just
what I related in the story above. I have yet to get invited to a
church to share about the work God is doing in Casey County Kentucky. I
could bring in slides. I could have a display "native" artifacts, tell
good stories about the unique customs and culinary tastes of the people
I serve, but it would not have the same effect. It's all too normal,
too close to home. You see the real difference between home and foreign
missions, is not what we do, or even why we do it. It's not the amount
of sacrifice. It's not the cost, or the difficulty of the task. The
real difference is how the work is perceived by the world around us and
sometimes even the church at large.<br />
<br />
As "domestic missionaries" we
must not get discouraged by this. Instead let us with full resolve
press on in the obscure little corner of the field where God has sent
us. Know that the work that you are doing will probably not make the
press, and you probably will not be invited to some larger affluent
church to tell your story. That's OK though, because you don't really
have time for it anyway. Remember a true missionary is characterized by
selfless ambition to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those who
have not yet heard. It doesn't matter if anyone notices. For our
sake, it is probably better that way, lest we become puffed up with
pride, or start playing to the crowd for more applause. Instead
remember whom it is that you serve. Be faithful in the field you are
working in. And if by chance someone does notice, remember that you
are only doing what is your duty.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Feast of the Epiphany of Our
Lord Jesus Christ is one of the oldest Christian feasts. <i>Epiphany</i> comes
from a Greek verb meaning "to reveal," and all of the various events
celebrated by the Feast of the Epiphany are revelations of Christ to man. </span><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Epiphany came to mark the end of
Christmastide—the Twelve Days of Christmas, which began with the
revelation of Christ to Israel in His Birth and ended with the revelation of
Christ to the Gentiles at Epiphany.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">The Diocese of the Holy Cross has always intended to be a part of the golden thread that keeps traditional Anglicans together and at the table. We pledge that we will never compromise on the ‘three legged’ stool of our Anglican inheritance: Orthodox Liturgy, Catholic Order and New Covenant morality. We are ever mindful of the prophecy that we shall ‘build the old waste places…raise up the foundations of many generations, and be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in.’ We revere the memory and invoke the blessing of our ancestors who grace the history of our Movement: the saints of the British Isles, the Non-Jurors, the Caroline Divines and the men and women of the Oxford Movement, all of whom inspire us to fight the good fight. We work and pray for an honorable and godly way forward that will reveal the essential unity of the Church, such that Anglicans will have a distinct and vital place. We desire that the Bride of Christ, breathing harmoniously with the lungs of both East and West, speaking in a powerful and Spirit-filled voice, led by apostolically-minded men of conviction and sustained by the sacramental life, is once again triumphantly evangelical about the Gospel and radically charitable about non-essentials. No Surrender, No Desertion.”</span></span></div>

Hope Anglican Church (Oscoda, MI) has completed an entire redo of the interior of their sanctuary and nave; painting walls, ceiling and all trim.<br />
<br />
The new look is significantly brighter and lighter than it was previously. Fr. Tom and Fr. Jeff want to thank the parishoners of Hope for their patience during this process. It was a difficuly chore having to break down all scaffolds and ladders every Saturday to prepare for Sunday's Holy Eucharist. Now we are back to pews instead of chairs.<br />
<br />
Stations of the Cross and all other paraments will be re-hung this week.</div>

The work began during the hot and humid days of summer, with a promise, a desire to conduct the first worship service in the Old Church on Christmas Eve at Christ's Mass. With only 10 days to go, the promise is being kept. Invitations have been sent out. Descendants of members from long ago have been invited to share in a community celebration of Jesus birth. The altar, absent from its place for almost a decade, has been returned, as well as the octagonal pulpit and communion rail. O Come All Ye Faithful, Joyful And Triumphant. Hope Anglican Church, the oldest church building in the county, is open again.<br />

Built by immigrants during the lumbering days of the 1880, The Swedish Lutheran Church survived the great fire, the only church and one of only a handful of structures in town to do so. Closed as an active Lutheran parish over 6 years ago, the old church was re-born as the home of the Emmanuel Mission Church, which took the name Hope Anglican Church to honor the building's history and to honor the faithful people of God of long ago.<br />
