MAY CROWNING 2026

FROM THE PASTOR
Fr Kris’ weekly message (which is in the bulletin here) starts with:

Ever since I returned to the Diocese from a year of “advanced study” in my early years as a priest, it’s become my custom at Pentecost to revisit a prayer offered at the World Council of Churches back in 1968 – by Patriarch Ignatius/. Each year, there’s something different that strikes me— but every year, I’m reminded that, with the Holy Spirit in our lives, everything is different; everything is, I would say, better…

“Without the Holy Spirit God is distant, Christ is merely an historical figure, the Gospel is a dead letter, the Church is just an organization, authority is domination, mission is propaganda, liturgy is nostalgia, and the work of Christians slave labour. But with the Holy Spirit, Christ is risen and present, the Gospel is a living force, the Church is a communion in the life of the Trinity, authority is a service that sets people free, mission is Pentecost, the Liturgy is memory and anticipation, and the labour of Christians is divinized.” -Patriarch Ignatius, 1968 World Council of Churches

This year, in light of so many of the public “discussions” revolving around who has what authority, it seems that the whole world could use a reminder from the Patriarch on what authority and governance really entail. (See the bulletin for more).

********************
The Chosen is an artistic portrayal of the life of Jesus and the Apostles. As “The Passion of the Christ”, the creators of this series attempt to show how things might have been if we had been there … using the art of cinematography. It is worth watching, but with the idea that not all of the words, actions, or ideas presented are known to be true. Consider it like looking at a work of art attempting to portray the parable of The Prodigal Son. As we watch “The Chosen,” we turn to prayer and the Gospels for “the truth” but realize the lives of those portrayed must have been amazing! Here is a video where Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie attempt to describe the series and faith and their relationship:
