The Sunday after All Saints’ Day with the Welcoming of the New Dean Choral Eucharist • Sunday 7 November 2010 • 11 am
Welcome to Grace Cathedral Grace Cathedral is home to a community where the best of Episcopal tradition courageously embraces innovation and open-minded conversation, where inclusion is expected and people of all faiths are welcomed, where beliefs are put into action and where people are encouraged to seek God and progress on their own spiritual journeys. The cathedral itself, a renowned San Francisco landmark, serves as a magnet, where diverse people gather to worship, celebrate, seek solace, converse and learn. vvv Grace Cathedral is the seat of the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of California, and the chief missionary church of this diocese. One hundred years ago, the ministry of the Bishop of California included the entire state. Now the diocese under our bishop’s care consists of the greater San Francisco Bay area, including Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo Counties, and the cities of Los Altos and part of Palo Alto in Santa Clara County. It is the privilege of the cathedral to host great civic, ecumenical, and interfaith events that gather people from the city and diocese and beyond.
Welcoming our New Dean The service of the Renewal of Ministry and the Welcoming of a New Dean is celebrated in two moments of this liturgical day— the Sunday after All Saints’ Day, which honors our communion with saints past, present and to come. Saturday’s Evensong and Sunday’s Holy Eucharist each proclaim and delight in aspects of our common life of prayer and service. Our new Dean both leads and accompanies us on our common journey of transformation and service. While the office of Dean has many administrative responsibilities, we welcome the Very Rev. Dr. Jane Shaw first and foremost as priest, pastor, proclaimer and healer—tasks and charisms we all partake in as members of the Body of Christ. Special elements in the two services highlight our shared service to God, to one another and to the wider community. The Dean’s newly-commissioned cope is given to the glory of God through the generosity of Paul and Valerie Crane Dorfman. Music for this Morning’s Service The setting of the Ordinary is by Jean Langlais, famed blind organist of Sainte Clotilde in Paris from 1945-1988. His musical language is similar to that of Olivier Messiaen and one of its more distinctive features is the dissonant and insistent Dona Nobis Pacem (not surprising given it was written in the war ravaged city.) The Amy Beach anthem, Let This Mind Be in You, is a warm Brahmsian setting of the text from Philipians. It is fitting not only because it was written by the first American female composer to garner international recognition, but also because she lived in San Francisco (on Alamo Square) for a short period of time around the 1913 Panama-Pacific International Exposition.

Renewal of Baptismal Vows
The new Dean is presented with the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church by Dr. Bonnie Anderson, President of the House of Deputies of the Episcopal Church, and Christopher Hayes, Chancellor of the Episcopal Diocese of California.
Jane, the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church represent the opportunities for ministry Grace Cathedral shares with the whole church. Join us in our calling to transform the world beginning with ourselves.
Dean
Amen. Let us work joyfully with the Diocese of California and Episcopal Church in serving the community and world in Christ’s name.
Bishop
All
Jane; people of Grace Cathedral: in Holy Baptism we received full adoption through God’s grace and full empowerment for ministry through the Holy Spirit. Will you work together as partners in the mission of the Church, to reconcile all people to God through Christ? We will, with God’s help.
The water of baptism signifies our eternal covenant with God. In it we are buried with Christ in his death. By it we share in his resurrection. Through it we are reborn by the Holy Spirit. Therefore in joyful obedience to Christ, we bring into his fellowship those who come to him in faith, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. We pray you, O God, sanctify this water by the power of your Holy Spirit, that all who in baptism are cleansed from sin and born again may continue for ever in the risen life of Jesus Christ our Savior.
Let us renew the solemn promises and vows of Holy Baptism, by which we renounce Satan and all his works, and promise to serve God faithfully in God’s holy Catholic Church.
Dean
The Bishop leads the renewal of baptismal vows.
Bishop
Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and renew your commitment to Jesus Christ?
People
I do.
Bishop
Do you believe in God the Father?
People
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
Bishop
Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
People
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

Bishop
Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?

Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord? I will, with God’s help. Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ? I will, with God’s help. Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? I will, with God’s help. Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being? I will, with God’s help. May Almighty God, who has given us a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, bestowed upon us the forgiveness of sins, and called us to ministry in Jesus Christ, keep us in eternal life by his grace; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The new Dean is presented with a lighted candle by children in the Godly Play Sunday school community.
Jane, the lighted candles we receive at Baptism remind us of Christ the Light guiding us on our faith journey. Join us in our shared pilgrimage to the fullness of our new life in Christ.

The Prayers of the People
The new Dean is presented with a symbol of prayer.
Jane, with this icon as inspiration and gateway, we offer our prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings to God.
Amen. In the Spirit of God, who searches the heart and knows our deepest needs, let us pray for the Church, the world, and all who yearn for the healing power of Christ’s presence.
Dean
The deacon leads the prayers;
After each petition
Lord, hear our prayer.
The Bishop adds a concluding collect. The new Dean is presented with a flask of oil for healing.
Jane, with prayer, companionship and laying-on of hands we bring the reconciling presence of Christ to those who seek healing. Join us in this ministry by calling us to repentance, and assuring us of God’s forgiveness and love.
Amen. Live without fear: your Creator has made you holy, loves you eternally, and reconciles you to one another.

Anthem

Amy Beach
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus; who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore, God also hath highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (text from Philippians 2:5ff)
The people stand as representatives of the congregation bring the people’s offerings of bread, wine, and money to be placed on the Altar. (cf. Book of Common Prayer, p. 361) The new Dean is presented with the people’s offerings of bread and the wine.
Jane, when we share the bread and the cup, we proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. Join us at God’s table to offer and bless our gifts of bread and wine.
Amen. Together, let us keep the feast.
Dean
The Bishop receives the money offerings and says:
We offer thanksgiving to God for the ministries represented by these symbols, and ask God’s grace to live ever more fully into the commitments we have made in Baptism.
Amen.

Letter of Institution of a Minister The Very Rev. Dr. Jane Shaw, Presbyter of the Church of God, you have been called to work together with your Bishop and fellow-Presbyters as a pastor, priest, and teacher, and to take your share in the councils of the Church. Now, in accordance with the Canons and the cathedral statutes, you have been selected to serve God at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, California. This letter is a sign that you are fully empowered and authorized to exercise this ministry, accepting its privileges and responsibilities as a priest of this Diocese, in communion with your Bishop. Having committed yourself to this work, do not forget the trust of those who have chosen you. Care alike for young and old, strong and weak, rich and poor. By your words, and in your life, proclaim the Gospel. Love and serve Christ’s people. Nourish them, and strengthen them to glorify God in this life and in the life to come. May the Lord, who has given you the will to do these things, give you the grace and power to perform them. Given under my hand and seal, in the city of San Francisco, on November 6 ninth year of my consecration.

Symbols Unique to this Service This service includes the offering of symbolic gifts that represent various aspects of the ministry we share at Grace Cathedral.
The Lectionary The lectionary is the book of Bible readings selected for reading in public worship. The Episcopal Church employs a three-year cycle of Sunday readings, corresponding very closely to the Revised Common Lectionary now in use by most mainline Christian bodies. The Constitution and Canons The Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church guide the church’s ministry and administrative life. They provide for good order and a common understanding when addressing issues which the church faces locally and globally regarding worship, property, ministries within the church, and the ongoing renewal of the church’s life through its governance structures. The Light Illumination is an ancient metaphor for the new life in Christ given in baptism. Newly-baptized persons are given a candle lighted from the Paschal (Easter) candle. Our children in the Godly Play program of Christian inquiry use objects and symbols in their story-telling and learning. The candles they carry from the font are part of their engagement with the mystery of their––and our––baptism. The Icon An icon is used in prayer, not as the focal endpoint of prayer but rather as a lens through which we glimpse the divine. Sacred images serve to enliven the heart and mind, making us ready to encounter the Holy One in words, longings, and “sighs too deep for words.” Romans 8:26 The Oil “Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up and ... sins will be forgiven.” James 5:14-15 The Bread and Wine “What lies on the Lord’s table are not merely nature’s gifts––but nature’s gifts as transformed by human hands. As a human commodity, food is never simply ‘natural’.... It is always tangled in a web of work and worry, affections and emotions” Nathan Mitchell, “Eucharist as Sacrament of Initiation” [Forum Essays, no. 2], LTP Publications, 1994, p. 54.
The Money Offerings “[Since the second century], the loaf and the cup of communion were sent to those who could not be with the assembly … by the hands of table-servers or deacons. A collection was always made for the poor. Such a collection of food and money belongs essentially to the Christian meal and is one source of our continued practice of taking a collection on Sunday” Gordon W. Lathrop, Central Things: Worship in Word and Sacrament, Augsburg Fortress, 2005, p. 50.

The Emmaus Icon The vivid story of two disciples’ encounter with the risen Christ on the road to Emmaus is found in chapter 24 of Luke’s Gospel. However, icons of this very familiar story are rare. The original of this icon is by Sister Marie-Paul and is especially unusual in that one of the disciples depicted is female. There is excellent scriptural and traditional evidence for identifying the unnamed disciple as a woman. The story only names one of the two disciples: Clopas or Cleopas (Luke 24: 18). Elsewhere, a woman named Mary (often “the other Mary,” distinguishing her from Mary the mother of Jesus or Mary Magdalene) is named as the wife of Clopas (John 19: 25). Still elsewhere, this Mary is identified as the mother of the Apostles James the Less and Joses (Mark 15: 40). So the most likely companion for Clopas on the road to Emmaus would be his wife Mary, who had been a witness to the Crucifixion and to the empty tomb (Mark 16: 1). When a story is told in iconography, it is quite common to have multiple scenes within the same image. Here, we see Jesus and the two disciples walking on the left, and the same individuals seated around the evening table at Emmaus on the right. The overall background and border of the icon is covered with gold leaf. Gold is used in icons to represent the divine light of God’s revelation, chosen because of its value, freedom from tarnish, and its metallic ability to enrich and transform light in a manner so different from pigment. The words written at the top of the icon are an unusual translation of Luke 24: 32. Jesus is dressed in classic ancient Greek robes, a tunic of red, symbolic of His humanity and His blood sacrificed for us, covered by a robe of dark blue, symbolic of the heavenly mystery of His divinity. On his right sleeve is a band of mixed red and gold threads, an ancient Byzantine symbol of royalty and signifying Christ’s role as King of the Universe. Jesus’ head is surrounded by a gold halo inscribed with a cross and the Greek letters omega, omicron, and nu. They spell “ho on,” Greek for “Who Am,” the name of God used in Exodus 3: 14. The halo is used in iconography to indicate sanctity, and only Christ’s is inscribed with a cross. On the left, Jesus holds a scroll, symbolizing the Word of God which he is communicating to the disciples. On the right, he breaks the bread as he prepares to share it with them. By the time that Luke wrote his Gospel sometime between 63 and 80 ad, the liturgy of the Eucharist was well developed and this story has an obvious parallel with it—an explanation of scripture followed by the Eucharistic meal. The disciple’s eyes were opened to the reality of the risen Christ with the breaking of the bread (Luke 24:35). Sr. Marie-Paul Farran, O.S.B. The iconographer is Sister Marie-Paul, born in Egypt of Palestinian and Italian descent. She writes icons in the Byzantine style, following faithfully the ancient patterns and colors. The other nuns in her community help with the less exacting parts of the work, preparing wood panels and applying gold leaf. Sister Marie-Paul’s icons may be found in churches and individual collections all over the world. For those who read French and would like more information about Sister Marie-Paul and her community, visit www.icones.ch

Bonnie Anderson, d.d. Bonnie Anderson is President of the Episcopal Church’s House of Deputies (the older of the two Houses of General Convention, the governing body of The Episcopal Church.) She is known in the Church as a champion for the ministry of the laity, an advocate for marginalized people, a preacher, and a skilled community organizer. Prior to her election as President of the House of Deputies (HOD) in 2006 and re-election in 2009, Anderson served as Vice President of the HOD; Chair of the Joint Standing Committee on Program, Budget and Finance; and as an Executive Council member. In her home Diocese of Michigan, she has held many positions including Canon to the Ordinary, President of the Standing Committee, and Chair of Constitution and Canons. Anderson is an author and preacher, an adjunct lecturer at the University of Michigan. She has been awarded honorary Doctor of Divinity degrees from the Episcopal Divinity School and the University of the South, Sewanee, and honorary Doctor of Canon Law degrees from Seabury-Western Theological Seminary and General Theological Seminary. Anderson often reminds the Church “there are 2 million ministers in the Episcopal Church and many are still waiting to use their gifts actively to help bring about the Kingdom of God. Let’s get going.”

From the Dean Dear friends, Thank you to the trustees, staff and congregation of Grace Cathedral, to our Bishop, Marc Handley Andrus, and to everyone in the Diocese of California for your heartfelt welcome — and for all you have done that we might, as a community, arrive at this day. The outpouring of love I have received from you has been extraordinary, and I am deeply grateful. It is a privilege and an honor to be called as the eighth Dean, and I pray and hope that I will serve you faithfully and well. Thank you as well to all our visitors — old friends and new, from far away and close by. It is a great pleasure to welcome you here at Grace Cathedral, and we hope you will come back often to this house of prayer for all people. Your presence is a blessing.
The Very Rev. Dr. Jane Shaw Dean
From the Dean Emeritus My dear friends, Alleluia! What a joy and privilege to welcome Dr. Jane Shaw as the eighth dean of Grace Cathedral! I am sorry I cannot be with you on this important and significant moment in the cathedral’s life. Because of understandable and inevitable schedule changes, I find I have to be out of town. I am, however, grateful for the opportunity to put in writing my enthusiasm for the appointment of and my admiration and affection for Jane. The Bishop and Search Committee worked hard and for many hours to bring a thoughtful process to fruition. It seems to me that Jane is the right person at the right time for this next stage of the cathedral’s remarkable life — a priest of probing intelligence and deep spiritual wisdom. What a wonderful new beginning! Please be assured of my love, prayers and support now, and in the months and years ahead.
Alan Jones, Dean Emeritus P. S. As you would expect from my being Dean for so many years: please give generously to the New Beginnings campaign in support of the cathedral’s mission and ministry! It touches lives in ways that cannot be numbered. 18
Support New Beginnings: The Campaign to Empower the New Dean For 100 years Grace Cathedral has been the Cathedral of the City and the broader Bay Area. In joy and sorrow, through good times and bad, we have been a place to celebrate or grieve. Through prayer, civil conversation and service, members of this cathedral have helped to enrich and transform the greater community. In her second letter to the congregation, the Very Rev. Dr. Jane Shaw wrote, “Grace has many distinctive hallmarks and strengths… a thoughtful and thinking faith; the role of Grace as a cathedral for the city and Bay Area; a commitment to social justice and outreach; and the importance of music and our liturgical traditions… I believe that together we will forge a vision for Grace Cathedral in the coming years, building on its existing strengths. I will seek to work collaboratively with you, and will always encourage you to bring your ideas, experience and energy to Grace’s worship and work.” Together we believe that Grace Cathedral can be an agent of change in the Bay Area and beyond. Our hope and our goal is that Dr. Shaw will have the greatest opportunity to begin her tenure from a position of strength. We are eager to see the impact of her leadership and want to speed and support her work as much as possible. The Board of Trustees launched a campaign to ensure adequate funding as the new Dean begins her ministry. The goal is to raise an additional $500,000 in gifts and pledges by June 30, 2011. To set the tone, every member of the Board of Trustees has committed to the campaign. Your support of Grace Cathedral’s New Beginnings campaign will be greatly appreciated. Please give as generously as you can. You will help the cathedral be a beacon of light that casts its faith and warmth onto San Francisco. Our efforts will be the tangible evidence of our dedication to the mission and ministry of Grace as well as our welcome and support for our new Dean. New Beginnings Commitment forms and envelopes can be found in the pew racks or on the tables at the back of the cathedral. You can mail your gift to: New Beginnings, Grace Cathedral, 1100 California, San Francisco, CA 94108. For further information, please contact Richard W. Felton, Interim Director of Development, (415) 749-6313 or rickf@gracecathedral.org.
