Silver Jubilee Celebration: Service
Sept. 19, 2009. A service at historic St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia, recognizes the end of a pastoral relationship between the Rt. Rev. Peter James Lee and the Diocese of Virginia.
Bishop Lee came to the Diocese from Chapel Hill, N.C. in 1984. Prior to becoming ordained, Bishop Lee was a U.S. Army intelligence officer and a reporter and copy editor in Memphis, Tenn., Pensacola, Fla. and Richmond, Va. He attended Duke Law School before entering Virginia Theological Seminary. Bishop Lee served at St. Johns Cathedral in Jacksonville, Fla., St. Johns Church at Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C. and the Chapel of the Cross in Chapel Hill. He has held numerous leadership roles in the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion, including his role as newly elected chair of the Church Pension Group and as chair of Friends of Canterbury Cathedral in the United States.
Bishop Lees 25 years of ministry have been marked by a gracious wisdom and an ability to help build the Churchs broad and welcoming center, said the Rt. Rev. Shannon S. Johnston, bishop coadjutor of Virginia. This is evident in the strength of our churches, our conference and retreat centers, the diocesan schools, and our clergy, who are marked by their diversity, both in their theological and liturgical dispositions, as well as in the breadth of their range of age and talents.
Bishop Lee will not retire but, beginning October 1, will continue his ministry in the Episcopal Church as interim dean of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, the largest Episcopal cathedral on the West Coast. He and his wife, Kristy, will move to San Francisco in the coming weeks. Bishop Johnston will succeed Bishop Lee and become the 13th bishop of Virginia on October 1.
Celebration of Love
One of the things I love the most about being an Episcopalian is the deep sense of inclusivity I have felt since joining the church. Warm, welcoming and sincere, I have been in awe of the stunning ease with which stereotypes have been shattered for me time and time again. Our congregation is nothing if not diverse, being comprised of all ages, races, sexes and identities. And we all accept one another as children of God and even as chosen family members. But until very recently, a large component of our parish family was being denied certain rights that others of us take for granted.
Arizona had denied marriage rights to same-sex couples until October 17 of 2014. That day, a federal judge struck down Arizona's ban on gay marriage and cleared the way for legally recognized same-sex unions in the state. Several of our parishioners and even some of our clergy members, were finally able to wed. Our deacon Jefferson Bailey, married his partner Richard Steen on December 4, our outgoing treasurer Anne Bowen married her partner Chris Bondante on Dec 6, and on January 10 of this year, St. Andrew’s former rector Bob Williams married his partner Rick Baglione. All three couples have been together for over twenty years and are wonderful demonstrations of the love that is so fundamental to our faith.
This past February, on the day after Valentine’s Day, we held our first Celebration of Love” to honor the fact that everyone could now stand side-by-side in the bonds of marriage. Along with a dozen or so couples, I renewed my vows to my wonderful husband, and it felt so amazing to witness the outpouring of love from other couples, gay or straight, newly wed as well as those who had been together forever. After mass, we all celebrated with cake and champagne. Someone even wore her wedding dress! It truly was a triumphant occasion and victorious moment for marriage equality.

MUSIC:
Christmas Time Is Here is a popular Christmas song written by Lee Mendelson and Vince Guaraldi for the 1965 TV special A Charlie Brown Christmas, one of the very first animated Christmas specials produced for network TV in the United States. Since the song became a hit, two versions were included on the album A Charlie Brown Christmas: an instrumental version by the Vince Guaraldi Trio and a vocal version as sung by the choir of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in San Rafael, California
A Charlie Brown Christmas is the fifth studio album by American jazz group the Vince Guaraldi Trio. The album was released in December 1965 in the United States by Fantasy Records. It is the soundtrack to the CBS Christmas television special of the same name. Guaraldi was contacted by television producer Lee Mendelson several years prior to compose music for a documentary on the comic strip Peanuts and its creator, Charles M. Schulz. Although the special went unaired, these selections were released in 1964 as Jazz Impressions of A Boy Named Charlie Brown. Coca-Cola commissioned a Christmas special based on Peanuts in 1965 and Guaraldi returned to score the special.

St Johns History - 25 years of Making a Difference
St. John’s was founded by The Rev. Canon Ernest D. Sillers, affectionately known by all as Fr. Ern. When the doors opened on September 19, 1988, 270 Preschool through Eight Grade students arrived for their first day of school. A motorhome parked on the curb housed a temporary school office, while classes were held in modular classrooms powered by a gas generator. From these modest beginnings, St. John’s has grown to more than 550 students and gained a reputation for producing students who “do good and do well.” St. John’s is proud of the many accomplishments of the more than 2,000 alumni that have gone on to pursue incredible accomplishments.

Home as a Synonym for Hatred: Lessons Learned from Charlottesville
On August 11-12, every ilk of the alt white, Klansmen, fascists, white supremacists, invaded the small, progressive, college city of Charlottesville, VA and the University of Virginia. The name has become synonymous with racial strife. University, city, and county leaders from the Charlottesville area share and assess the situation on the ground - what happened and why? How did the alt-white pull it off? How can your institutions and localities prevent these sieges of hatred?
