three things I pray:

To see thee more clearly,

Love thee more dearly,

            _____________________Psalm 133:1,4 

  

Oh, how good and plea-sant 

it is when bro-

thers and sisters live together in unity. It is like the dew that falls upon the hills… 

*James DeKoven, 

    1831-1879

American born priest & professor 

of ecclesiastical history at Nashota 

House,an Epsicoapl Semianry in 

Wisconsin . Because of what we 

used to call his “high church” 

leanings consent was not given

 consent to his becoming  bishop 

of Wisconsin in 1874 and of Illinois 

in 1875.  At the General Convention

 in 1874, he said “You may take 

away from us, if you will, every 

external ceremony; you may

take away altars…lights and

incense and vestments; … and we will sub-

mit to you. But gentleman,* … to adore 

Christ’s Person in the his Sacrament… 

is the inalienable right of and privilege of every Christian and Catholic heart. How 

we do it, the way we do it, the ceremonies with which we do it, are utterly, utterly in-different. The things itself is what we 

plead for.” which I love because it embodies the Anglican ideal: in essentials, unity, in non-essentials, diversity and 

in all things, charity, which takes us full circle back to the verse. God does good work. *and "gentlemen" it was! Women were  not allowed to be seated  as delegated until 1970, almost 100 years later!  1970 my friends!!

The           vote           in the House of Bishops was a una-nimous yes and the lay House of Delegates had only one no vote.                 

(Imagine that guy’s reception at home that night!)
