Our Lady Of Walsingham, Our Lady's Dowry
Our Lady of Walsingham is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated by Roman Catholics and Anglicans associated with the Marian apparitions to Richeldis de Faverches, a pious English noblewoman, in 1061 in the village of Walsingham in Norfolk, England. Lady Richeldis had a building structure named The Holy House built in Walsingham which later became a shrine and place of pilgrimage.
In passing on his guardianship of the Holy House, Richeldis's son Geoffrey left instructions for the building of a priory in Walsingham. The priory passed into the care of the Canons Regular sometime between 1146 and 1174.
Pope Pius XII granted a canonical coronation to the Roman Catholic image via the papal nuncio, Bishop Gerald O'Hara, on 15 August 1954 with a gold crown funded by her female devotees, now venerated in the Basilica of Our Lady of Walsingham.
According to the reputed Marian apparition to Lady Richeldis, the Blessed Virgin Mary fetched her soul from England to Nazareth during a religious ecstasy to show the house where the Holy Family once lived and was then tasked to build an imitation of the home in which the Annunciation of Archangel Gabriel occurred. The building structure came to be known as the Holy House, and later became both a shrine and the focus of pilgrimage to Walsingham. The wooden image was carved in Oberammergau, Germany, and was once associated with the Virgin of Mercy under the venerated Marian title of Our Lady of Ransom, sometimes locally worded as Our Lady of the Dowry. The popularity of the Marian cult gradually localized the place of devotion as Our Lady of Walsingham.
After nearly four hundred years the 20th century saw the restoration of pilgrimage to Walsingham as a regular feature of Christian life in the British Isles and beyond. There are both Roman Catholic and Anglican shrines in Walsingham.
In 1340, the Slipper Chapel was built at Houghton St Giles, a mile outside Walsingham. This was the final station chapel on the way to Walsingham. It was here that pilgrims would remove their shoes to walk the final Holy Mile to the shrine barefoot.
In 1896, Charlotte Pearson Boyd purchased the 14th-century Slipper Chapel, which had seen centuries of secular use, and set about its restoration.[10] The statue of the Mother and Child was carved at Oberammergau and based on the design of the original statue - a design found on the medieval seal of Walsingham Priory.
In 1897, Pope Leo XIII re-established the restored 14th-century Slipper Chapel as a Roman Catholic shrine, now the centre of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham.[11] The Holy House had been rebuilt at the Church of the Annunciation at King's Lynn (Walsingham was part of this Roman Catholic parish in 1897).
There is frequently an ecumenical dimension to pilgrimages to Walsingham, with many pilgrims arriving at the Slipper Chapel and then walking to the Holy House at the Anglican shrine. Student Cross is the longest continuous walking pilgrimage in Britain to Walsingham which takes place over Holy Week and Easter.
In the United States the National Shrine to Our Lady of Walsingham for the Episcopal Church is located in Grace Church, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and for the Catholic Church at Saint Bede's Church, Williamsburg, Virginia. Our Lady of Walsingham is remembered by Roman Catholics on 24 September and by Anglicans on 15 October. The personal ordinariate established for former Anglicans in England and Wales is named for of Our Lady of Walsingham. The cathedral of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter in Houston, Texas, is named for Our Lady of Walsingham. A Western Rite Antiochian Orthodox parish named for Our Lady of Walsingham is in Mesquite, Texas.
In addition, some people are invested into the Scapular of Our Lady of Walsingham while the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham is named in her honor.
Jimmie Stringer Memorial Service, Part 2, Oct. 24, 2015
This is part two of the first of two services that were held in memory of Jimmie Stringer. This service was held at Alaskan Memorial Park in the Valley at 2PM, Saturday, October 24, 2015.
A worship service was held on October 25, at ll AM with Sage Thomas of Mosquito Lake leading. This service can be viewed separately.
On Thursday, October 15, 2015, a very good man left us and went to heaven.
Jimmy Wallace Stringer was born in Glen Rose, Texas, on January 11, 1946. His dad, William Wallis Stringer, was a pastor of small churches in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Wyoming. His mother, Flois Marie Flanary Stringer, taught elementary students in
public school and was a gifted musician.
His parents died on the same day this past November and Jimmie officiated at their funeral. Jimmie has one sister, Shirley Ruth Stringer Hipkins, who lives with her husband Mike in Burleson, Texas.
Living as a teenager in Fort Worth, Texas, Jimmie graduated from Paschal High School, where he was the marching band drum major and won honors as a trumpet player. In 1964 he started classes at Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas. The following summer he met Pat Teague on the steps of the college library and proposed in October. They married on April 9, 1966, and three weeks later he received his draft notice. Trained as a medic, he served his country at Fort Polk, Louisiana. Following discharge, he attended Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, on the GI bill and earned his Bachelor of Music Education degree in 1972.
By this time, the family included a daughter Stephanie (Stacie) and a son Scott. A new band program was in the works at the school in Frankston, Texas, and Jimmie was hired for the job. He drew out plans for a band hall, ordered instruments and music, designed uniforms, recruited and taught beginner and students on all instruments, and put a marching band on the football field the following year. Awards followed and in 1976 he was offered a job with a larger band program in Post, Texas.
There God began a new work in Jimmie's life. The band trophies lost their appeal as he became more involved in First Baptist Church where a revival was in progress. He was part of a mission team to St. Kitts and Pat led a team of girls to Santa Elena, Mexico. In 1979 the family was part of a commissioning service conducted by Billy Graham at the Astrodome in Houston when the first Southern Baptist Mission Service Corps volunteers were sent out all over the world. Churches and individuals in West Texas agreed to support the Stringers with prayer as they moved on Juneau, Alaska, for what was thought to be a two-year ministry.
Another daughter, Sarah Suzanna, was born in 1980 and lived only 26 days. A son, Jesse, joined the family in 1983. God has blessed us with five beautiful granddaughters: Chloe Madison Varner, Olivia Claire Varner, Gracie Camille Varner, Ashlie Marie Stringer, and Elane Stringer.
Over the years mission trips have been made to sites in Mexico, Texas, Alaska, and Washington. However, Jimmie lived a life on mission 24/7,whether that was driving a tour bus, helping customers at the soap shop, counseling summer employees, getting the mail or taking a walk on Twin Lakes.
Jimmie served God as pastor of First Baptist Church from 1980 to 1986 and again from 1994 to the present. He pastored Oak Ridge Baptist Church in Hudson Oak, Texas from 1987 to 1994. It was a great joy to Jimmie to pray. He prayed about everything. Through prayer he was able to preach the Word of God and lead. A very good man has left us for a little while.

Subways Are for Sleeping / Only Johnny Knows / Colloquy 2: A Dissertation on Love
Subways Are for Sleeping is a musical with a book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and music by Jule Styne. The original Broadway production played in 1961-62.
The musical was inspired by an article about subway homelessness in the March 1956 issue of Harper's and a subsequent 1957 book based on it, both by Edmund G. Love, who slept on subway trains throughout the 1950s and encountered many unique individuals. With the profits from his book, Love then embarked on a bizarre hobby: over the course of several years, he ate dinner at every restaurant listed in the Manhattan yellow pages directory, visiting them in alphabetical order.
After two previews, the Broadway production, directed and choreographed by Michael Kidd, opened on December 27, 1961 at the St. James Theatre, where it ran for 205 performances. The cast included Orson Bean, Sydney Chaplin, Carol Lawrence, Gordon Connell, Grayson Hall, and Green's wife Phyllis Newman (whose costume, consisting solely of a towel, was probably Freddy Wittop's easiest design in his distinguished career), with newcomers Michael Bennett and Valerie Harper in the chorus.
Subways Are for Sleeping opened to mostly negative reviews. The show already was hampered by a lack of publicity, since the New York City Transit Authority refused to post advertisements on the city's buses and in subway trains and stations for fear they would be perceived as officially sanctioning the right of vagrants to use these facilities as overnight accommodations. Producer David Merrick and press agent Harvey Sabinson decided to invite individuals with the same names as prominent theatre critics (such as Walter Kerr, Richard Watts, Jr. and Howard Taubman) to see the show and afterwards used their favorable comments in print ads. Thanks to photographs of the seven critics accompanying their blurbs (the well-known real Richard Watts was not African American), the ad was discovered to be a deception by a copy editor. It was pulled from most newspapers, but not before running in an early edition of the New York Herald Tribune. However, the clever publicity stunt allowed the musical to continue to run and it eventually turned a small profit.
Newman won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical, and nominations went to Bean for Best Featured Actor and Kidd's choreography.
Suspense: I Won't Take a Minute / The Argyle Album / Double Entry
The program's heyday was in the early 1950s, when radio actor, producer and director Elliott Lewis took over (still during the Wilcox/Autolite run). Here the material reached new levels of sophistication. The writing was taut, and the casting, which had always been a strong point of the series (featuring such film stars as Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Ronald Colman, Marlene Dietrich, Eve McVeagh, Lena Horne, and Cary Grant), took an unexpected turn when Lewis expanded the repertory to include many of radio's famous drama and comedy stars — often playing against type — such as Jack Benny. Jim and Marian Jordan of Fibber McGee and Molly were heard in the episode, Backseat Driver, which originally aired February 3, 1949.
The highest production values enhanced Suspense, and many of the shows retain their power to grip and entertain. At the time he took over Suspense, Lewis was familiar to radio fans for playing Frankie Remley, the wastrel guitar-playing sidekick to Phil Harris in The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show. On the May 10, 1951 Suspense, Lewis reversed the roles with Death on My Hands: A bandleader (Harris) is horrified when an autograph-seeking fan accidentally shoots herself and dies in his hotel room, and a vocalist (Faye) tries to help him as the townfolk call for vigilante justice against him.
With the rise of television and the departures of Lewis and Autolite, subsequent producers (Antony Ellis, William N. Robson and others) struggled to maintain the series despite shrinking budgets, the availability of fewer name actors, and listenership decline. To save money, the program frequently used scripts first broadcast by another noteworthy CBS anthology, Escape. In addition to these tales of exotic adventure, Suspense expanded its repertoire to include more science fiction and supernatural content. By the end of its run, the series was remaking scripts from the long-canceled program The Mysterious Traveler. A time travel tale like Robert Arthur's The Man Who Went Back to Save Lincoln or a thriller about a death ray-wielding mad scientist would alternate with more run-of-the-mill crime dramas.
