The Bishop and his Deacons

This is the first in a series of articles about deacons in the church. In order to avoid any confusion at the outset, deacon as described herein is about the Order of Deacons as so structured in the so-called catholic churches. Catholic churches are those whose ordained orders of ministry follow that of the apostles – those who claim to be in the apostolic tradition or apostolic succession: generally speaking, Roman Catholic; Eastern Orthodox; and Anglican.

The three orders of ordained ministry are Bishops (over-seers); Presbyters (priests); and Deacons (servants). Historically the church ordains a candidate to the diaconate; six months later, or more, that “transitional” deacon is ordained into the presbyterate or the priesthood. Bishops are elected or appointed variously according to the canons and constitutions of their particular tradition. In the Roman Catholic Church, for example, it is the Pope who appoints bishops. The Eastern Orthodox and Anglican traditions have differing methods of election within their own structures. But they all have deacons.

This series of articles proposes to articulate the relationship between the bishop and his deacons. In order to understand this special relationship and the many ministries it produces, it is necessary to document the genesis of the Order of Deacons and the nature of structured ministry.

In Acts 6:1-6 we are told:

Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. ² And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. ³ Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. ⁴ But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” ⁵ And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. ⁶ These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them.

Many biblical scholars identify this passage in the Acts of the Apostles as the creation and identification of the first deacons in the early church. The charge for deacon ministry, as we read, differed from that of the apostles. The church’s expanding ministries, not only the preaching but the acting out of the Gospel, are represented in the appointment of these seven deacons. The original apostles are considered the church’s first bishops.

Stephen, the first Christian martyr, was a deacon.

Paul in his greeting to the church in Philippi wrote:  Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,

To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons … (Philippians 1:3). Note that Paul, an apostle, refers to himself and Timothy both as servants.

After first listing qualifications for overseers, qualifications for deacons in the early church were then spelled out by Paul: ⁸ Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. ⁹ They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. ¹⁰ And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. ¹¹ Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. ¹² Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. ¹³ For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 3:8-13).

This first article is intended to show that the Order of Deacons existed in the early church and by way of analysis any organization – including the organized church – is a social entity composed of real human beings. The church’s fundamental nature is social and organic. In order to exist as a life of its own the church must therefore be ordered (Barnett: The Diaconate – A Full and Equal Order, 1979, 1995). In order to work out its calling, the church must be ordered. Chaos in the church is not an option.

The fundamental character of the church is service – service to God and service within God’s creation. Therefore the ordered structure of the church – lay, deacon, presbyter, bishop – is diaconally constituted. All members of the church – lay or ordained – minister in service.

A Faux Taxonomy Economy

A Faux Taxonomy Economy

Sticks and stones hurt or kill,

One transitory; one ending.

For good? No, but for ill,

Enlightenment hubris placed nature pending.

Orientation rests on an ever-shifting surface

With no rock and no stable ground

In support of its changing purpose.

It has no basis, nothing in nature sound.

Nothing in nature is beyond the “he and she.”

Yet a propaganda of Inclination

Purports to be

The gravel of Orientation.

There is no gay, there is no straight,

Neither occurs in nature.

The faux categories in debate,

Have categorized persons with incorrect nomenclature.

If gay is right,

Then straight must be wrong.

If so, which opposite holds the insight

To make it the superior and the strong?

Late 19^th century science was enlightened

Such that it re-categorized an act into a person,

Necessitating the creation of its opposite,

Causing humanity to worsen.

Without any thought the bifurcation was accepted

By billions who bought into deal,

Even though natural law rested

On male and female as the demonstrable real.

Taking more than a century to develop,

Both confusion and fear eventually took control

Leaving critical thinking unprotected and enveloped

By a subtle hysteria of the whole.

 Enlightenment science dealt humanity the harsh edict

Creating confusion through its false and ungrounded authority.

It created a sodomite out of sodomy

And gave Orientation priority.

No one is either gay or straight,

No Orientation occurs in human life.

It is sin, that human-carrying freight

When left un-repented increases our strife.

The sticks and stones of gay and straight

Have corrupted many lives through battles.

Had it not been for that concept Orientation,

Minds and lives would not have been so rattled.

Christ forgives all who earnestly repent,

He sees no Orientation.

Christ sees only the human person

Needing salvation into His nation.

O Am Aros

O Am Aros

I claim that I shall always sing

Praises to You.

But many times my singing rings

Much differently, as You know I do.

My mind, however, knows Your crystal fountain,

And my heart drinks from its healing flow.

When at times I cannot climb earth’s rugged mountain

Life seems as slippery as on fresh-fallen snow.

But when I tread the verge of my own sinful river,

With confession and repentance at my side,

And an abundance of forgiveness in my God-filled quiver,

My anxious fears subside.

Songs of praises! Songs of Praises!

I will ever sing to Thee,

I will ever sing to Thee.

O, am aros! O, am aros!

Yn Ei gariad ddyddiau f'oes.

ACNA Archbishop and The Russian Orthodox Church

ACNA ARCHBISHOP AND THE RUSSIAN CHURCH

“I have desired to see a restoration of Christian fellowship between the separated portions of Apostolic Christianity. It would be a great benefit to Christ and the extension of Christ's Kingdom if the Eastern Orthodox Churches and the Western ones, the Latin and the Anglican, could cease their warfare and work harmoniously together. Nor should we of the Anglican Communion withhold our sympathy from those sectarian bodies that have gone out from us, but pray that the breaches may be healed.”

Charles Chapman Grafton, the second bishop of the (ECUSA now TEC) Diocese of Fond du Lac (Wisconsin), made this statement in 1903.

The Most Reverend Foley Beach, the senior bishop or primate of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), has become a world traveler since his election to that office in 2014. His Christian witness no doubt is his strategic driver but building relationships undergirds his tactics. One of those relationships under construction is his highly visible engagement with the Russian Orthodox Church. Does this budding relationship matter in the grand scheme of things?

Adherents of biblical orthodoxy whether Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican or Protestant, should want to work together to be seen by the world (secular and religious) in a shared Christian witness. In this regard relationship talks with the Russian Orthodox Church are not a waste of time, though perhaps ecclesial relationship discussions run secondary to initial or primary and personal witness to Christ. Leaders of the Church Militant should never shy from efforts at church unity. Talks with the Russian Church, however, are not new.

Before there was an ACNA, Bishop Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh (who would become the first Archbishop of the ACNA province) wrote to the Moscow-based Russian Church Metropolitan Kirill in 2006 in response to an initiative by the Metropolitan. At that time other leaders within Episcopal Church dioceses sought alternative provincial oversight (APO) outside the Episcopal Church. In retrospect some will say that this was the beginning of the Anglican Realignment.

The 2003 consecration of the bishop of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church, an avowed and active homosexual man, created problems for orthodox Episcopalians. That 2003 event prompted APO discussions not only with the Russian Church but with Anglican provinces in South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. The point noted here is that historically Russian Church leaders have always been willing to talk substantively with orthodox American Anglicans.

In 1867 the Russian government sold Alaska to the United States of America. As a result most residents of Alaska returned to Russia. Those who remained were approximately 12,000 Russian Orthodox Christians in nine parishes. As a missionary diocese of the Russian Church, its headquarters or episcopal seat eventually was moved from Alaska to San Francisco.

In 1898 a young, 33 year old bishop named Tikhon Bellavin, arrived from Moscow. Tikhon had the vision to expand the Russian missionary diocese into an American Church and he formed new dioceses not only of Russian ethnicity, but Arab, Serbian, Greek and Romanian. Shortly after Tikhon’s arrival in America be was befriended by Charles Chapman Grafton, the Episcopal Church bishop of Fond du Lac.

When the Diocese of Fond du Lac elected its bishop coadjutor in 1900, Grafton invited not only the Russian bishop of Alaska and America, but a bishop of the Polish National Catholic Church to participate in the service of consecration. After the service a picture was taken of all the bishops attending the consecration. The gathering depicts American Episcopal bishops donning copes and mitres, a high church or Anglo-Catholic image highly irregular to most low-church Episcopalians. The picture so appalled evangelical Episcopalians it was subsequently referred to as the “Fond du Lac Circus.” The reaction to the picture is interesting, but not the point.

The point is that Episcopal Bishop Grafton and Russian Orthodox Bishop Tikhon were engaged in and worked together on visible Christian unity. Dialogues between the two churches took hold over the next century but came to a sudden halt in 2003 when the Russian Orthodox Church withdrew from their official dialogue with the Episcopal Church.

Given the long-term willingness of the Russian Orthodox Church to remain in dialogue with Anglicans in North America – orthodox Anglicans in particular – it is evident that Archbishop Foley Beach will continue with a Russian-North American dialogue.

Feed Me Till I Want No More

Feed Me Till I Want No More

Solomon’s words in Scripture

Are strong and powerful in truth.

Sometimes reading it seems like a routine fixture

Until its content unfolds in sleuth.

Proclaiming a wife more precious than jewels

The reader John was a head-turner,

When his sacred reading schooled

His head into his heart, impassioned as a fiery burner.

Many times Scripture infects with stealth,

When unsuspecting readers have no clue

That an approaching truth in spiritual health

Assumes control of what we do.

Praise the Lord for the WORD,

Praise the Lord for His Scriptural readers!

Lord, may your Book never be blurred,

And for our hearts, always be our feeder.

Pathways to Union with Jesus, a new book

Pre-announcement for new book release from Archdeacon Books

Pathways to Union with Jesus

William Wilson, an assisting bishop in the Anglican Diocese of the South of the Anglican Church in North America, has written this book about our day-to-day spiritual life and its necessary disciplines.

The book details practical exercises that believers should use and how “not to overdo it.”

Release date is the first week in November, 2015

An excerpt

With regard to gifts of ministry, the rule for discernment is simple: Listen to the church. Ministry gifts are powers to serve the community of faith given by the Spirit to the individual to build up the church. These gifts will be recognized and encouraged by the church. The church will tell you if you have the gift of teaching, or song, or administration, or liturgical leadership, or spiritual counseling, or healing prayer, etc. There is no need to trumpet your gifts of ministry. The gifts the Spirit gives speak for themselves.

Even if – as sometimes happens – the church fails to recognize and utilize your gifts of ministry, do not become resentful. Accept the humiliation. So doing you will advance in likeness to Christ, whose gifts of ministry the leaders of His people did not recognize. God will open other doors of ministry for you when your church group fails to receive your gifts.

Today’s Elusive Bagel

Today’s Elusive Bagel

It was mid-morning, shall we say?

When an urge for a plain, toasted bagel

Took on me its sway

As I walked away from my work table.

Into my wheels I drove as if star struck

By a compelling logic

To the closest Starbucks

For a tall java and my bagel-eating project.

“But no,” said the barista

“We’re out of bagels today.”

So back on the 150 I drove eastward,

Heading for the next long-locks Siren on the way.

Upon positioning into a parking space

I was suddenly be-mused

By the store's remodeling at a leisurely pace.

It being closed, I descended into the blues.

One more chance as mid-morning about to close,

Into the Mall trotted I to the caffeinated stand,

An aromatic arabica brew filled my nose,

But there, too, no bagels were on hand.

“Why not,” said I to the polite young server?

“You’re the third store with bagels unoccupied.”

“Didn’t you know,” said the smiling, customer-oriented worker,

“The batches of bagels were compromised?”

Now what to do?

It’s approaching time for lunch.

With so many minutes and miles that I blew,

I’ll go to Panera’s and call it brunch.

Topsy Turvy

Topsy Turvy

It seems our political life

Is out of control.

All this fight and strife

Is getting old.

Is there calm ahead,

Or must we continue to tarry?

What seems like an endless thread

Of bickering is becoming more difficult to carry.

An energetic new face

Could bring hope out of hiding.

Not from the right in this case,

From the left, his time he’s a-Biden.

Love Present and Future

  

Not one of us knows our future,

But actually we do,

From our Maker there will be no suture,

When toward His Son we pursue.

All that He made is through love,

All that we have is His gift.

In all our denials we shove

Aside His love and we drift.

Heaven and earth crossed in nexus

When Mary delivered her child

To a sinful world, He perplexed us,

For all His strength He was meek and mild.

Enlightenment, modernity, and reason,

Make claim as superior to all.

Self-contained and a finite different season,

At the Renewal they will fall.

Principalities, dominions, and thrones

Claim powers for their region.

For all their murderous groans

Are infected, they are Legion.

Good and evil each lives,

And not simply as differences of opinion.

Good is what God gives,

Evil is Satan, sin’s minion.

Use your gift of reason

Not to resist your Creator,

But to avoid your eternal treason,

And accept the love of your Diaconal Waiter.

'Twas the Day Before Monday

'Twas the Day Before Monday

‘Twas the day before Monday

And all through the nave,

My nose it was a-stirring

I think, of rotten eggs.

Up from my knee bench,

I jumped from my pew,

Ran to the vestibule

To verify what I knew.

A brief talk with the warden

With no time to spare,

He said the rotten eggs I smell

Is natural gas in the air.

He dashed toward the altar

Told the preacher to “take heed”

And “evacuate this congregation

With great speed!”

“But first,” said the preacher,

“There is something to say,

Before we exit,

I think I must pray.”

The warden so astonished

At what he just heard,

Looked at the preacher,

And asked, “Seriously?”

Throw Caution Not to the Wind

Throw Caution Not to the Wind

Recall the end of World War One?

When reparations therein demanded

On a nation with resources none,

Creating a Weimar empty handed?

What happens naturally in any situation,

When in years of strong arm controls

Or, when the people’s House institution

As if a tree, cease sourcing itself from their rich soil?

Three branches of the established tree once equal,

And the most populate the most weak,

Tossed about by the other two as if a needle

Not by wind, but bi-polar power on it wreaked.

Triune inequality makes for dangerous a void,

One branch not using its roots

And leaving a fertile ground once enjoyed.

That ground, like a volcano, erupts with new fruits.

With this situation anything seems better than nothing,

With progressive measures to quell,

The grand old pretenders only bluffing

When feigning to stamp out the progressive spell.

The void, that vacuum, opens a new door,

For a different voice on the stump.

Elated, the people see a new boy,

To the old boys they think he will trump.

Be cautious of the lessons from Weimar,

Salvation pretenders and their solution.

What might look like a shining high star,

Could actually burn the entire tree as substitution.

What's Love Got To Do With It?

What's Love Got To Do With It?

With tongue in cheek I saw a probate judge today,

To find out how much I should pay,

To tie knots with all those I love,

Smacked I, as it was, by a multiplicity of legalized turtle doves.

The fabulous five had decreed

Nuptials valid through love only, indeed.

Marriage in sacred tradition officially driven to doom,

Just like tortured babies in their mother’s womb.

So, is it my turn to knot my many new loves?

Legally protecting my cats and dogs, even my gloves,

Because love, not children, declared now the basis

To marry anyone or anything in this new social stasis.

What does it matter how many I may marry?

My spouse could be either female or male.

Why should I delay, linger, or tarry?

When I foresee a rising polygamous scale.

This kind of love stops not with another human being,

Its legality allows for different sorts of spouses.

It’s not too difficult seeing

That this new definition of marriage lives in many houses.

With word usage, definitions, and traditions rendered useless,

This new era forms a terror unthinkable before.

The high court has jumped its intended purpose,

By lowering ordered society to the floor.

No social balance, nor even its pretension.

Society’s fabric deliberately eroded

Through a progressively-forced intention

By five justices, a new order they encoded.

  

Our Cultural Mess

The article linked to below is brief and well-articulated. It is about the decline of western Christian culture and the rise of the hierarchical secular state.

Our Cultural Mess

A Sacramental Yearning that Millennials Are Craving

I have placed a link below to a blog that I find quite interesting and revealing. It is about young people and their shift from "PowerPoint" churches to sacramental- and liturgically-centered churches.

Institute on Religion & Democracy's Blog

Watch for Signs

Watch for Signs

“In 18 months I’m turning over the keys.”

A legitimate successor to him might not qualify.

Perhaps the chief thinks himself free

The Constitutional succession mandate to mollify.

What is his mind’s detection?

What really is he thinking?

Should he think the “wrong” person win election,

An executive order for his continuance could be his linking.

The signs of the times require watching,

For progressive power never wants to relinquish

Its ubiquitous control without botching

Individual freedoms to extinguish.

One day later a third-term he muses

To foreign masses who don’t care.

Patting himself on the back he chooses

Another constitutional brush he might dare.

Be on guard and prepare, you domestic "subjects."

Your freedoms already usurped.

Ruled six years by ideological sects,

Washington, Jefferson, and Henry silenced by left-loud chirps.

Which branch of the tree is now most reviled?

Nine split needing only five?

Their “subjects” they ignore, with law they beguile,

Or the impotent house and one hundred incapable to revive?

There was a countdown

In the “Seven Days in May.”

James Mattoon Scott forced to mount down.

For the twenty January days in 2017, a new order could be in play.

There’s Nothing Wrong with “Me”

There’s Nothing Wrong with “Me”

There’s really nothing wrong with “me.”

And frankly it’s just sad

The way some people leave “me” out

As if I’m wrong or bad.

Instead they use my cousin, “I”

Where he does not belong.

He’s simply not objective case. My

Goodness, that’s just wrong.

“Please contact Jane or I today”

Is said by more than some.

They’d never say, “Please contact I.”

They’d know that that sounds dumb.

There is one truth we all should face,

One truth we all should see:

For compounds in objective case

There’s nothing wrong with “me”!

This poem was composed by English Professor and novelist J.N. Sullivan.

Theologia Ecclesia Corruptionem

Theologia Ecclesia Corruptionem

They met in a hot summer’s fortnight

Beneath the Wasatch peak

Constructing a self-serving foresight

Enlightened solely by political thought and speak.

Tossed the tradition of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,

Not to mention that of David and Jesus,

Their new religion now makeup

To them “An easier gospel to please us.”

As was to the ecclesia in Galatia,

But not astonished at their post-modern desertion,

Worshiping not Him but Crustacea,

A new gospel is the zeitgeist’s insertion.

Stunned at your turning to a new gospel,

Incomprehensible that you walked from Grace,

Not that there is another ark in the hostel,

Like Marcion your faith a vacuous space.

From whom do you seek approval

And why is your denial so fervent?

The richness of faith your intended removal,

It is man, not Christ, you are servant.

The High Horse

The High Horse

Berating those who disagree,

With perceived self-insight

Of the highest degree,

Loathes he any opposition with all might.

When speaking to followers of the way,

He chastises their beliefs, of course,

Keeping criticism of the prophet at bay,

While seated regally on his own high horse.

“Detruncations and any violence you should expect.

Your crusades a despicable volition.

It is pass time for that sect

To play out its true core and mission.”

Only with inner municipiorum he sees

Identity with those the majority he thinks oppresses.

But to prophet he prays on his knees,

At the way he explicitly down dresses.

When other varia are killed or suffer,

When national protectors downed,

Ignores them he, creating a buffer,

Not to tilt his anointed crown.

Redefining lone lupus triumphs,

While hugging the mater proditionem,

Showing contempt for traditional roots, he trumps

The nation's heart and soul with ad hominem.

“I am the new way of thinking,

My purpose to cleanse the nation.

Purging history, and it linking

To radical and complete transformation.”
