Episcopal official listens to concerns of Lodians

An Episcopal official appointed to reassure parishioners in Lodi and other communities that all is well in the San Joaquin Diocese talked to 25 leaders from St. John's Episcopal Church on Monday about what could be a tumultuous reorganization of the diocese.

The Rev. Canon Bob Moore, a retired priest from Olympia, Wash., began a diocese-wide "listening tour" with a meeting in Lodi. He went to San Andreas later on Monday and will spend the week talking to parishioners south to Bakersfield who want to remain within the American Episcopal Church.

The diocese is in a major state of transition, now that the diocese has chosen to part ways with the Episcopal Church USA over gay rights and women's issues.

The diocese voted in December to leave Episcopal Church USA over the church's appointment of V. Eugene Robinson, an openly gay priest, as bishop of the New Hampshire Diocese in 2003. San Joaquin Bishop John-David Schofield maintains that homosexuality is a sin and, therefore, ordaining a gay man a priest or appointing one as bishop violates scripture.

St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Galt is not affected by the turmoil. Galt is in the Sacramento Diocese, which hasn't considered leaving the Episcopal Church.

St. John's parishioners maintain that they want to remain in Episcopal Church USA rather than follow most of the San Joaquin Diocese's parishes to the conservative Southern Cone of the Anglican Communion, based in South America. Episcopal Church USA is also a branch of the Anglican Communion, which is derived from the Church of England.

Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, who holds the top position in Episcopal Church USA, took the first step this month in deposing Schofield as bishop by suspending him from his priestly duties. However, he is allowed to continue with administrative functions. The Episcopal House of Bishops will vote on whether to completely depose Schofield the week of March 7.

Age: 70.
Ordained: 1979.
Priest: Shared priesthood with wife Bavi E. Rivera in the small Marin County community of Ross; co-rector with wife in Salinas; worked for the El Camino Real Diocese in Monterey; priest in Lafayette; interim priest in Richmond.
Previous career: Aerospcace industry at Lockheed in Sunnyvale.
Retired: May 2004, when his wife was named co-bishop for diocese in Olympia, Wash.

Dec. 1, 2006: Convention delegates take initial vote to secede from Episcopal Church USA.
Dec. 8, 2007: Convention delegates vote to leave Episcopal Church USA, and joins the Southern Cone of the more conservative Southern Cone of South America. Both organizations are affiliated with the Anglican church.
Jan. 2, 2008: Thirty-four bishops throughout the world sign a statement supporting conservative San Joaquin Diocese Bishop John-David Schofield and his efforts to leave Episcopal Church USA.
Jan. 11, 2008: Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori of Episcopal Church USA rules that Schofield has abandoned his position as San Joaquin Diocese bishop and orders him to cease ordaining priests.
Jan. 26, 2008: Remain Episcopal, a group of parishioners who want to remain in the American Episcopal Church, will gather for Holy Eucharist, music and discussion of organizational and legal issues concerning the diocese.
March 13, 2008: House of Bishops meeting will take place in Texas, when a vote will be taken on whether to declare the bishop's seat vacant in the San Joaquin Diocese. Then remaining diocese members would have a new convention and elect a replacement standing committee. An assisting bishop would be appointed until the diocese selects a new bishop.

Episcopalians from the San Joaquin Diocese who don't want to defect from Episcopal Church USA will gather from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at The Church of the Saviour in Hanford.
The gathering will feature a Holy Eucharist, music and a discussion of political issues within the diocese. Participants will include:
• The Rev. Canon Bob Moore, appointed by Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori to provide a "pastoral presence" for parishioners who want to remain in the American Episcopal Church.
• Bonnie Anderson, president of the House of Deputies, a group of four priests or deacons and four lay people from each diocese. Her function is similar to that of the speaker of the house in Congress.
• Michael O. Glass, a San Rafael lawyer and Episcopalian who specializes in canon and real estate law. He has been retained by St. John's.
• Charles Ramsden and Holly McAlpen, Church Insurance Agency Corp. Ramsden was a priest for 30 years, and McAlpen was a missionary or 20 years with the Diocese of California, based in the Bay Area.

Meanwhile, St. John's parishioners raised some major issues in their meeting Monday with Moore. One is how the transition of power would affect the parish's ability to select a new priest, Moore said. Father Rick Matters left St. John's in May to take over a church in Carmel. Father Basil Parker-Matthews is filling in on an interim basis until a new priest is hired.

Another issue, Moore said, is the question of who owns the St. John's building and the land it sits on — the parish, the diocese or the Southern Cone of the Anglican Church.

The third major topic was how parishioners can reach out to people who were hurt by the diocese seceding from Episcopal Church USA, Moore said.

Moore couldn't offer an answer to the property rights question since he isn't a lawyer, but he said that St. John's search for a new priest won't be a problem because it's a year and a half to two-year process to hire a new priest. By then, Moore said, the transition issues should be clear.

However, St. John's has lost applicants from priests who won't consider a position in Lodi because of the inner turmoil within the diocese, said Andee Zetterbaum, an active St. John's parishioner.

"I thought it was very comforting," said Deb Shook, vestry clerk at St. John's. "It brought us a better understanding of what's going on. We're not fearful."

Patsy Gorczyca, a St. John's parishioner, noted how St. John's is a church where people of dissenting opinions on theology and social issues can worship together.

"We love one another. We respect each other," Gorczyca said. "We love each other as Jesus would have us love one another."

Moore learned from his meeting with parishioners on Monday that St. John's members respect one another's differences.

"That is the Episcopal church that I know," Moore said. "There is no demand that you believe one way or the other."

Moore's tour will conclude on Friday. The following day, representatives of parishes that want to remain in Episcopal Church USA will gather for a day-long session in Hanford to celebrate a Eucharist and discuss legal issues.

If it is a huge group I can angle it for best viewing. It also tilts up and down, so if you love laying on the floor in front of the fireplace watching tv, tilt it down. AND I can swivel it against the wall and tuck it away when we have none tv events. Take care. "

" the complete circle...

if ONE person can provide ONE scripture in the entirety of the bible, you can effectively wipe the overwhelming biblical evidence against homosexual sex of any kind, clear off the validation chart.

just one that shows it's ok, stops that arguement dead in it's tracks.

one thing is for sure about holding a position based around God, and not someones "opinion", NO ONE can conjure up an opinion based on conjecture, thier HAS to be evidence to support it, otherwise you have no right to complain that they are 1,000's of relgions, but who is right?

evidence reveals what IS right "

real facts wrote on Jan 29, 2008 11:58 PM:

" coming full circle on the excuse of the "it's not relevant anymore, because it was old covenant"....COMPLETELY far removed from the reaches of the levitical law excuse, as being that homosexual sex is somehow tied only to the levitical law, because hey, it was in the book of leviticus, right>

then a person is going to have to explain the story in the 19th chapter of the book of judges that condemns a homosexual act

leviticus was written around 1400 b.c.

judges was written around 1000 b.c
some 400 years AFTER the levitical laws

1st corinthians chapter 6 was written around a.d. 56 "

" i have to define sexual immorality tonight, because leonard would never come clean about his definition of it. he ran away from it, and i had to keep him on the hook about it. anyway....

the definition of biblical sexual immorality is ANY sexual act, done outside the marital committment between a man and a woman.

the whole chapter of leviticus 18 contains ALL the sexual deviancy, EXCEPT marital sex between a male and female.

the consistent verbage of that truth is found start to finish, cover to cover.

Christ echoed leviticus, and so did paul

not one inference APPROVING homosexual sex "

" just like from the very begining...you try and re-define what Gods laws are, moral or spiritual, and turn this into a situation on YOU dictating to God what is "righteous". you only fool yourself, and dig yourself a dark spiritual "hole"

no one stands before God on his day, on thier own definition of righteousness.

you will either have adjusted to HIS definition of it, or sought to distance yourself FROM it. on that day, there is no middle ground, especially considering NO ONE is without excuse.."knowledge wise".

Jesus Christ defined righteousness once and for all. his words on anything ARE authority "

EVERYONE has backed away from it, after me challenging them to come forward with thier supposed "knowledge" of it. NO ONE would do it.

today is the day. NO ONE can use that excuse again, that the "new covenant" excluded homosexual sex from Gods moral lawbook.

homosexual sex is condemned in every passage that references it.

it never high fives it "

God created the law, and it's all encompassing no way any man could live up to it edicts, so that NO MAN could stand before God and say "move over. there's two of us now".

Jesus Christ is the ONLY person who could fulfill that law, via his perfect sacrifice. he did, and rendered it ineffective.

Jesus Christ mentioned that moral law is still law "

real facts wrote on Jan 29, 2008 10:53 PM:

" the basic old covenant; when adam and eve disobeyed God, it opened the door FOR sin to enter the human race. everyone post adam and eve makes the same mistake. to deal once and for all about the arrogance of man thinking he could ever be fully righteous before God based on his own works, God said "ok, now i will pile on more things that you can't possibly keep up with", effectively rendering man into an impossible situation...NO MAN could ever keep the full law. ceremonial laws served that purpose.

moral laws NEVER changed. "

thats simple. you follow the laws to thier conclusion that God demonstrated are those laws which CONTINUE to fulfill his design for man. ceremonial laws are just that, "ceremonial". those laws had one purpose...for God to use them against man to make him guilty of his own self righteousness. they served thier purpose then, they have NO bearing now.

moral laws are something that never changed in Gods plan for man "
