Liverpool Cathedral Offers Compass Rose

Members Radical HospitalityBy Norris Battin

While my travels to England over the years have taken me to mancathedrals through the country, this was just my third visit to an English

cathedral with the Compass Rose Society wed been to Canterbury

Cathedral or a board meeting several years ago and to Salisbury

Cathedral on a previous study visit. At each o these magnifcent placewe learned a great deal about the cathedrals, about Anglicanism, abou

The Church o England and its liturgy and about English history. Ou

visit to Liverpool Cathedral and the Diocese o Liverpool continue

to expand this knowledge.

Liverpool Cathedral, or example, is the largest Anglican Cathedra

the largest cathedral in England and the fth largest cathedral in the

world. It is a modern edifce. Designed in the Gothic style by the architec

Sir Giles Gilbert Scott with its oundation stone laid in 1904 by King

Edward VII, its third and fnal phase was completed in 1978.

DEAR FRIENDS,

As I write this, the change

o seasons in Eastern Canada

is slowly underway as we

celebrate our Canadian

Thanksgiving (second Monday

in October) with summer-like

temperatures and brilliant

all colours.

This years Annual General Meeting (September

21st & 22nd) o the Compass Rose Society in London,

England flled me with deep thanks or my brothers

and sisters within our beloved Anglican Commu-

nion. I also give thanks or the ministry o the sta

at Andrews House the ofces o the AnglicanCommunion.

I think is it is air to say that more can always be

learned about our Anglican Communion which

the Compass Rose Society supports. This year, our

meetings oered a deeper look into the lie o our

worldwide church.

Here are a few thumbnail sketches

of what we learned:

Around the globe, gender-based violence

plagues our world and our church. In keeping

with the Five Marks o Mission, we listened to

the Reverend Terrie Robinson clearly articulating

these issues and sharing the work that is being

done around the world to eradicate this blight.

Ms. Sally Keeble spoke about the Anglican Alli-

ance initiative an eort frst proposed at the

Lambeth Conerence. The Anglican Alliance

communicates and raises major issues in the areas

Whats really striking about it is that rom the dramatic bridge

near the west entrance to the reredos there is only open space.

Theres not a column to be seen down an enormous open nave

with its two transepts and Central Space, a ceiling 175 eet

above it (at its apex) and a 331 oot central tower topping it

o: ride two lits up to the bell chamber 14 bells reside there;

the heaviest and highest peal bells in the world then walk 108

steps to the top o the tower and a magnicent view.But as it turned out, this spectacular cathedral was but one

part o a broadly educational and spiritual visit to the Diocese

o Liverpool.

Lynne Butt, the travel manager or the Anglican Communion

Oce in London who along with Clare Kerrigan on the Cathedral

sta looked ater our arrangements fawlessly, described the

scope o our visit well:

Liverpool was

an excellent visit.

I assumed that as a

study visit we would

be hearing a lot romboth sides about the

relationship between

Anglicans and the

Roman Catholic Church

in the diocese. Relation-

ships are obviously very

cordial, as our welcome

dinner with Dean Justin

Welby was held in the

Roman Catholic cathe-

dral [the Metropolitan

Cathedral o Christ theKing]! We also attended

mass there.

But it turned out to

be more o a mission

visit, as our visits were

to various community projects in the diocese schools, childrens

centre with parenting classes, a hal-way house or women

prisoners, and a community centre oering art classes and we

met some truly inspiring people (mostly women!) who were doing

so much with virtually no unding at all.

Liverpool has some o the most deprived boroughs in the whole

o Europe, a mix o unemployment, drugs, lack o educational

attainment, alcohol and underage pregnancies the works.

The basic theme o our visit was regeneration, and the city

centre and waterront are very impressive, but its hard to see

how it will continue to the very poor areas with all the government

cuts they are experiencing.

We came to Liverpool Cathedral at a transition point in its

lie. Dean Welby has been appointed Bishop o Durham and

was in the midst o taking his leave as he assumes his new post

at the end o November. Nevertheless, he was most gracious

and generous with his time as he introduced us to the history o

Liverpool and the Cathedral, accompanied us to several stops on

our program, led an Evensong or our group and, with his wie

Caroline, hosted us at a nal dinner in the cathedrals on-site

reectory, Couture.

A presentation by Mike Eastwood, Diocesan Secretary, Diocese

o Liverpool and Director o Operations o the Cathedral, taugh

us about the mission o the Diocese o Liverpool and how the

activities o its Cathedral in are integrated into that mission.

The Diocese see its mission as: To see a sustainable, led andtransorming Christian presence in every community to enable

all people to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God.

The Dean characterizes the Cathedral as a sae place to do risky

things in Christs service.

Mary Donovan reported, I was impressed by the way in

which the Diocese had analyzed the basic social and economic

problems conronting

the clergy, developed

the Bishops Growth

Agenda and then

translated that agenda

into specic goals oeach congregation. Ob

viously a great deal o

thought has gone into

helping clergy dea

with the problems they

conront.

Ater this brieng

we were well prepared

to visit local parishes

and the institutions in

the Diocese. (Recall tha

a parish in the Churcho England reers to a

geographic area and

that the clergy in the

parish support the

schools and socia

agencies within it as well as the congregations in the parishes

The Diocese o Liverpool and the Cathedral are strongly

ocused on ministry in the local community.)

A subsequent tour o the city with Ken Pye, a mos

knowledgeable local historian, helped us understand the citys

past, its current ongoing renaissance and the challenges that

the Diocese aces. Mary Donovan provided an insightu

summary o our visit to city and its suburbs:

This trip had such a powerul eect on me because it orced

me to conront the diiculty o adjusting to lie in a post

industrial age. All around us were the remnants o the industry

and commerce that had made Liverpool a great city: the extensive

dock system, the huge tobacco and sugar warehouses standing

empty and literally unusable today, the elaborate collection o

locks within the harbor, even the Cathedral itsel, a monument

to a system o pomp and ceremony that is largely gone out o

peoples lives today.

The work o importing and distributing goods continues

Cathedral views

but it is accomplished largely by mechanized systems. The huge

number o teamsters who had ormerly moved those goods are

simply not needed today. All the people we talked to told us

unemployment is the biggest problem they deal with. Unem-

ployment and all its eects apathy, lethargy, alcoholism, amily

brutality, and poor health were so pervasive, both in Liverpool

itsel and in the outlying village o Wigan. And no one could

really see ways to put people back to work.

I came away with a tremendous admiration or the people

we met in the various schools and social agencies who were so

ercely dedicated to instilling hope in clients who had so ew

reasons or hope. I was impressed with the imagination and

energy with which programs were designed.

The St. Francis o Assisi School (editors note: a joint activity

o the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches in Liverpool), or

example, painted their hallway walls with scenes rom St. Francis

Canticle to the Sun to emphasize the schools ocus on ecology.

The art center in Wigan (a Liverpool suburb that we

visited) actually hired a local grati artist to embellish its outer

walls to make the place more inviting to the toughs o the

neighborhood.

Since the people o St. James in the City hadnt yet ound

the unding to restore the roo o the deserted church building

they were reviving, they simply erected a tent inside and held

services there.

I was also impressed by the obvious spirit o cooperation

between the Anglican and the Roman Catholic authorities their

joint support o various community centers and schools we

visited and the evident working relationship between the two

cathedrals. I was intrigued by the amount o church-statecooperation in the educational system church schools unded

by the state in a way that would never be allowed in the United

States and religious classes in the secular schools.

But at the end o the trip, the overwhelming question in my

mind was why cant we gure out a massive way to put people

back to work? We can send a rocket to the moon, why cant we

regenerate our inner cities?

Our visit ended with a spectacular twenty minute son et

lumireshow inside the Cathedral ollowing our arewell dinner

with clergy representing other aiths in the Liverpool religious

community and the Cathedral sta and diocesan clergy who hadbeen so generous with their time during our stay.

As the Cathedral organist played an ever growing crescendo

o classic pieces on the massive 9,765 pipe Willis organ, the lights

fashed brightly around us in the deepest recesses o the building

gradually bringing us rom total darkness to brightest light.

This amiliar Christian metaphor sent us home thinking about

the renaissance we had seen taking place in the city o Liverpool

and with its people, praying mightily that it would continue and

most thankul to all those who made our visit so memorable.

Annual Meeting Speakers HighlightAnglican Communions International Mission

By The Reverend Terry Noble

Members o the Compass Rose Society gathered onSeptember 21st and 22nd at St. Andrews House and Lambeth

Palace in London or the 2011 Annual General Meeting. A widerange o speakers addressed topics that reminded members o

the interconnectedness o the worldwide Anglican Communion.

Bishop Suheil Dawani o the Diocese o Jerusalem was the

guest speaker or this years AGM. In introducing Bishop Suheil,

Society President Bishop Philip Poole expressed how thrilled he

was to have the Bishop o Jerusalem present, ollowing an incident

in 2009 when visa issues prevented Bishop Suheil rom attending.

Bishop Suheil stated that all people in the region are exhausted

by the political and economic stagnation around them. He

described Christians in the region as having an important voice

o moderation. The Diocese o Jerusalem, although small, runs

thirty institutions that orm an important part o the educational

and medical inrastructure in the region. In response to a question

rom the foor asking how the Society could help, he appealed

or members to assist in the undraising or an echo-cardiogram

instrument or their diabetes clinic, which will cost $150,000.

The Reverend Terrie Robinson rom the Anglican Communion

Oce spoke to members on the subject o gender-based

violence. She described such violence as the most pervasive

and yet least recognized orm o human rights abuse. She

oered a theological ramework or addressing the issue, including

both the idea o human beings having been made in the image

o God (Genesis 1:27) and the baptismal theology o us allbeing one in Christ (Galatians 3:27). Members were encouraged

to visit the website www.wewillspeakout.org which is sponsored

by the Anglican Communion and others who are working on

this issue.

Pauline and Neil Maxwell o Aurora, Ontario presented a

summary o the Societys April 2011 Communion Visit to Brazil.

In his address to the members, Bishop Philip Poole also addressed

the Brazil trip. He spoke o how Society members can pray the

Anglican Cycle o Prayer with purpose because o having visited

many dierent parts o the Communion. Bishop Poole described

how he had received a letter ater the trip where it was reveale

that one community had been reluctant to host guests becaus

they elt their church building was in poor repair. However, atethe trip they expressed that the visit had shown them that they

as well as those in other communities, are not alone in the

aith, but are part o a worldwide amily.

Bob Biehl, Society treasurer, provided his report with new

o revenues increasing and expenditures decreasing in 2010 a

compared to 2009. The 2011 year-to-date gures also showe

improvement. He noted that the cumulative givings o the Socie

now total over US$7 Million.

Secretary General Kenneth Kearon touched on a number o

his experiences and the activities o his oce over the past yea

He told o presiding at a Eucharist in Harare, where a bishop quiet

slipped into a back pew during the service. The bishop had bee

warned not to proceed to the conrmation service he was t

preside at in a dierent location because police had broken u

the service and were waiting to arrest him. Canon Kearon als

spoke about the many dierent dialogues and conversation

taking place with other denominations. He explained that th

Anglican Communion no longer has ormal dialogues wit

Lutherans and Methodists because no signicant theologica

dierences remain.

Sally Keeble, Anglican Communion Oce Director or th

Anglican Alliance, explained its work. It is not a unding agenc

and it does not run development programs. Its three mandateare development, relie and advocacy, but its approach is one o

grassroots capacity building, acilitating and coordinating. As a

example, she outlined a situation where the Alliance went int

Pakistan ollowing the 2010 foods and assessed the impact. Th

resulting report allowed unding agencies to ocus their eorts i

order to make the best use o the available unds. The Allianc

also supported the Archbishop o Burundi recently in making

presentation to a parliamentary select committee in the UK,

response to deep cuts to oreign aid to his country.

Recently, a CRS member who has, over several years,

sponsored a medical center in Kateri, in the diocese of Kaduna

www.anglicandiocesekaduna.com in northern Nigeria, received

this note and accompanying pictures from Bishop Josiah Idowu-

Fearon:

Dear ____,

Love from Kaduna Medical Centre in Kateri. We

commenced our free two-week medical services last week

and by yesterday, we had attended to 4,000 patients to the

glory of the Lord. In these pictures, you will have an idea

of both the patients and the medical personnel. A team led

by Canon Tom Furrer from Hartford, CT of medical staff is

working with volunteers from Kaduna, Abuja and Jos.

Pray for us as what you helped us to begin continues

to reach out with the love of Christ to thousands.Love from Comfort my wife and all the people of

Kaduna diocese.

Josiah

This clinic began with a donation at the Societys annua

meeting in 2000 where Bishop Josiah spoke and articulated the

needs of his diocese, and the sponsor has supported the main-

tenance of the clinic through the years. CRS offers unique

opportunities such as this to directly support the work of the

Anglican Communion.

MEMBER GIFT S CAN HAVE LASTING EFFECTS

at St. Andrews House and moved to Lambeth Palace for dinner

and worship as guests of Archbishop and Mrs. Williams. The

question and answer session saw Dr. Williams addressing

a wide range of topics including the royal wedding, his

retirement and the nature of church leadership in a post-

modern world.

During his homily at Evensong, Dr. Williams stated seeing

and bearing witness is at the heart of what the Compass

Rose Society does in reference to how members visit

fellow Anglicans in other parts of the world. Evensong was

accompanied by the solemn offering of tea as a symbol of

peace by Dr. Genshitsu Sen of the Japanese Imperial Court.

The international nature of the Anglican Communion

and the ministry of the Compass Rose Society within it was

brought home repeatedly throughout these meetings. Members

returned home to their parishes once again with examples

of how being members of a worldwide Communion leaves us

all better equipped to contribute to Gods mission for Gods

church in Gods world.

Sponsoring A Parish CanH E L P U S G R O W

Several years ago, Saint Pauls church in Cleveland

Heights, Ohio, an institutional member of the Society,

was considering ways to expand its membership

commitment. The rector, Alan Gates, invited CRS board

member Bob Foltz to attend a vestry meeting to discuss

the possibility of additional individual memberships and

perhaps form a chapter or two.

At that meeting, a vestry member recalled that the

parish had a relationship with the Diocese of False Bay

in South Africa, and suggested that Saint Pauls buy a

membership for the Diocese. They have been members

ever since.

Could your parish (diocese or even you) sponsor

a membership for a companion relationship you have

established?

Notes From ASIAPAC

For Compass Rose members who have met The Most ReverendDr. Paul Kwong, (who is also a Compass Rose Society member),

Primate and Archbishop o Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui, you

would agree that he has quite a commanding presence. But what

you may not know is that not only is he remarkably approach-

able, he also has an adorable sense o humor. When he saw

me with his book, Identity in Community: Toward a Theological

Agenda or the Hong Kong SAR, he immediately said, My book

is a great read, and without missing a beat, he continued, or

people who have trouble sleeping.

The truth, however, is that Identity in Community will keep

readers awake. It is a heavy and important book one that Church

Divinity School o the Pacic (Berkeley, Caliornia) Proessor

Emeritus o Ministry Development, The Reverend Dr. John L. Kater

describes as a very pastoral [and] a very Anglican book. It is

also erudite addressing directly, honestly and thoroughly, or the

rst time, the issues o what is described as the contesting

identities o the people o Hong Kong; but yet, it is, like its

author, so very accessibly eloquent to laymen like me.

Identity in Community is divided into three parts. In the rst

part, Archbishop Kwong describes how the peoples sense o

unease, conficts and divisions, anxiety and ear had been shaped

by critical events o the last 25 years. The city and its people have

lived through decolonization without independence, and theirstruggles in dealing with their complex and evolving identity

issues. The depth and breadth o the research is remarkable and

speaks volumes o the importance the subject matter holds or the

archbishop. In its oreword, he writes, the question o identity

is an authentic and viable item on the agenda or theological

relection [and its] pursuit should result in the empowerment

o Hong Kong people.

Part 2 o the book deals with the Christian communitys

struggle with the citys ate and documents the Churchs

Response to the Contest Identity, covering the changing relation-

ship the Church has with the colonial, Special Administrative

Area (ater the handover) and the Chinese government. I

oers tremendous insight into how the Christian community had

evolved rom a collaborative one in British Hong Kong, to a

concerned one during the transition period and a politicizedone ater the citys return to Mainland China in 1997. It not only

provides a narrative to the history o the Churchs experience

in the citys most tumultuous times in recent history, it also

explains how the crisis in the peoples identity also greatly

aected the Churchs. The Archbishop not only proves how relevan

the peoples issues are to the Church, and vice versa; but he also

conrms the belie that both the people and the Church must

come to terms with their identity issues in order to move orward

Hong Kongs crisis in identity is a subject oten spoken o, but

not properly addressed. As a local political commentator, I can

attest to that. These issues are part o the public psyche and every

day lie, but yet, as Ive written many times in my columns

ethnic, political, social, and economic conficts continue to ester

and exacerbate the problem because while these issues o identity

are oten mentioned, serious examination or in any way properly

addressing them are swept under the carpet. It is rereshing, and

also illuminating to see the Archbishop putting this subject ron

and center.

But the real treat is the third and last part o this book, where

Archbishop Kwong takes readers on his theological refective

journey, inviting readers to listen in on contemporary voice

that provide resources or the search o an authentic contextua

theology. In the theological roundtable, readers are invited toeavesdrop on our contemporary theological approaches rom

Asia, Latin America and the West, with him and Croatian theo

logian Miroslav Vol moderating the dialogue. The real twist

and Im sure readers will be surprised occurs at the end o this

section, where the Archbishop throws in a curve ball and intro

duces math into the equation!

Not only does the Archbishop make the discussion o dicul

and complex issues interesting, he makes his case or hope

convincingly through mathematical theory that unity in diversity

is possible.

The Archbishops concludes by calling Christians, especiallythe Anglican community to, because we are equipped via our

traditions and our overlapping cultural and religious identities

empower people to embrace rather than to exclude dierences

and otherness. He oers also the Hong Kong experience as a

resource not an answer or others in the Anglican community

For those o us in Hong Kong who have ollowed Archbishop

Kwongs Christmas addresses o recent years, we oten wonde

where the Archbishop got his prophetic git rom. He warned

the city o NIMBY (not in my backyard) attitudes long beore i

became part o the public discourse and he called or moderation

o advocacy, relie and development. The result will be more

eective Anglican Communion eorts, larger capacity

to minister, and a stronger synchronized emergency relie

ministry.

Mr. Stephen Lyon led a workshop on the Bible in the Lie

o the Church, a Communion eort to help Anglicans

understand how our sacred scriptures are used, interpreted,

and how we seek to live our lives being inormed by it.

The Secretary General gave us insight into the current state o

the Anglican Covenant as decision reports rom across various

Communion Provinces have begun to flter back to the Anglican

Communion Ofce. In his annual report, the Reverend

Canon Kenneth Kearon also reminded us o the role o the

Communion in matters o Faith, Unity and Order, particularly

in dialogues with other Christian and aith communities.

These conversations are vital in gaining deeper insight and

understanding, as well as building trusted relationships.

We heard rom members who traveled on a mission trip to

Brazil to the Dioceses o Rio de Janeiro and Amazon. What

was experienced there was not only o amazing and aithul

ministry, but also o the vital importance o connections

made between people visiting rom one part o the Anglican

world, to people in another part. The result was the sense o

solidarity and the eeling o being part o a greater Anglican

whole, especially or those previously eeling isolated. The

importance o these Communion visits cannot be overstated

and are a vital part o our work.

The Right Reverend Suheil Dawani, Bishop o Jerusalemspoke o the ministry o his Diocese that extends across a

number o countries (Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, and Libya)

in the Middle East and o the eorts in health, education and

advocacy. It was deeply disturbing to learn o the diminishing

number o Christians who remain in the land o the Holy One.

In his annual talk, Archbishop Rowan Williams spoke to us o his

recent visit to Central Arica and the great eorts that church

has made in dealing with poverty, violence and emerging

economies. It is impressive to realize that wherever our

church is ound around the globe, a dierence in peoples

lives is being made all in the name o our Lord Jesus Christ!

We also learned about the Archbishop o Canterburys (now

completed) visit to Zimbabwe and how its church has aced

enormous challenges there.

Originating rom the United States, Hong Kong, Ireland,

England and Canada, those attending the Annual General

Meeting were treated to a very moving sacred Tea Ceremo-

ny. Held in the Archbishops Lambeth Palace Chapel, the

Urasenke Grand Tea Master XV, Dr. Genshitsu Sen oered

this Tea Ceremony as a symbol o peace and reconciliation.

There is much to be thankul or in our Anglican Communion.

I am very grateul or the Anglican Cycle o Prayer that allows me

to pray daily or specifc areas in our International Church. From

my involvement within the Compass Rose Society, I am also

thankul or the people Ive met and or their ministries, allowing

me to pray with understanding or this expression o Christianity.

Thank you or your fnancial support o the Compass Rose

Society especially in these challenging, economic times. Your

gits help support the ministry o the Archbishop o Canterbury

throughout the Anglican Communion. Your gits also help to

make a dierence in our churchs ability to help others. Please

take the time to visit our website and view all the work you help

to make possible.

Finally, please rest assured that as soon as the dates or next

years Annual General Meeting and Communion Visit have been

set by Lambeth Palace, we will communicate this inormation

to you. I encourage you to attend the annual meetings o the

Compass Rose Society as well as attending the dinner with

Archbishop and Mrs. Williams. Equip yoursel with a deeper

understanding o our worldwide church. Join in visiting a part o

the Communion. We have so much to be thankul or.

Yours in Christ,

Bishop Philip PoolePresident, Compass Rose Society

Message from our President continued from page 1

months beore political violence became Hong Kongs most recent problem. Now I know that it is

his acute observation, astute awareness, and compassion or the peoples plights, and the years o his

work in studying the underlying problems o exclusionary and contesting identities that have made him

insightul and the work o the Church very relevant and necessary.

Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui continues to ace new challenges, and, it is my hope that I can share

these experiences with you in the coming issues oThe Communicator.
