A Reflection There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3.28 NRSV In that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all! Colossians 3.11 NRSV We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. United States: Declaration of Independence 1776 Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

Reader
A reading from the Book of Isaiah.
Reader Allll
Thus says the Lord: Maintain justice, and do what is right, for soon my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed. And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants, all who keep the sabbath, and do not profane it, and hold fast my covenant—these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. Thus says the Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, I will gather others to them besides those already gathered. Isaiah 56:1, 6-8 The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
PSALM
A cantor sings the antiphon first; all repeat it thereafter.
May God be merciful to us and bless us, show us the light of his countenance and come to us. Let your ways be known upon earth, your saving health among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you. Antiphon
HIGH MASS | 9
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide all the nations upon earth. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you. Antiphon The earth has brought forth her increase; may God, our own God, give us his blessing. May God give us his blessing, and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe of him. Antiphon Psalm 67 EPISTLE READING Reader
A reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans.
Reader Allll
I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. Just as you were once disobedient to God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience, so they have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. For God has imprisoned all in disobedience so that he may be merciful to all. Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32 The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
ALLELUIA
A cantor begins the Alleluia; all repeat it thereafter. Alleluia. O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our
salvation. Alleluia. Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving: let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise. Alleluia. Venite, exsultemus (Mode V)

The Lord be with you. And with thy spirit. The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. Glory be to thee, O Lord.
Deacon Allll
Jesus left that place and went away to the district of Tyre and Sidon. Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came out and started shouting, ‘Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is tormented by a demon.’ But he did not answer her at all. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, ‘Send her away, for she keeps shouting after us.’ He answered, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’ But she came and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, help me.’ He answered, ‘It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.’ She said, ‘Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.’ Then Jesus answered her, ‘Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.’ And her daughter was healed instantly. Matthew 15:21-28 The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ.

Let us humbly confess our sins to almighty God.
All
Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things and judge of all people: We acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness, Which we from time to time most grievously have committed, By thought, word, and deed, Against thy divine majesty. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings. Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, Forgive us all that is past; And grant that we may ever hereafter Serve and please thee In newness of life, To the honour and glory of thy name; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Celebrant
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath promised forgiveness of sins to all them that with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto him: have mercy upon you; + pardon and deliver you from all your sins; confirm and strengthen you in all goodness; and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

HYMN

O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, A second Adam to the fight And to the rescue came. O wisest love! that flesh and blood, Which did in Adam fail, Should strive afresh against the foe, Should strive and should prevail; And that a higher gift than grace Should flesh and blood refine, God's presence and his very self, And essence all-divine.
HIGH MASS | 15
O generous love! that he who smote In Man for man the foe, The double agony in Man For man should undergo; And in the garden secretly, And on the cross on high, Should teach his brethren, and inspire To suffer and to die. Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise, In all his words most wonderful, Most sure in all his ways.

PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Celebrant
Kneel
All glory be to thee, O Lord our God, who didst make us in thine own image; and, of thy tender mercy, didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to take our nature upon him, and to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption. He made there a full and perfect sacrifice for the whole world; and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious death and sacrifice, until his coming again; who, in the same night that he was betrayed, took bread; and, when he had given thanks to thee, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take, eat, this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” + Likewise, after supper, he took the cup; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you; for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you and for many, for the remission of sins: Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me.” + Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, we thy people do celebrate and make, with these thy holy gifts which we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Son hath commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion and precious death, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension; and looking for his coming again with power and great glory.

And we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father, to hear us, and, with thy Word and Holy Spirit, to bless and sanctify these gifts of bread and wine, that they may be unto us the body and blood of thy dearly-beloved Son Jesus Christ. We praise thee, we bless thee, we thank thee and we pray to thee, Lord our God. And we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, whereby we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies. Grant, we beseech thee, that all who partake of this holy communion may worthily receive the most precious body and blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, and be filled with thy grace + and heavenly benediction; and also that we and all thy whole Church may be made one body with him, that he may dwell in us, and we in him; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord; By whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honour and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end.

The Thurible NOTES FROM THE CLERGY “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5.16-18 NRSV At the beginning of August I was fortunate enough to be able to spend a Monday to Friday on retreat on the Sunshine Coast. It was in a beautiful setting, despite the descent of the smoke from the dreadful wildfires in the Interior: a former Orthodox monastery built on a wooded slope overlooking Howe Sound. Main meals were provided by and shared with my generous hosts; after dinner I walked with them and their dogs down to the shore before we said Compline together. The rest of the time I spent in silence, for once disciplined in switching off the email and the phone. There was space to pray Morning and Evening Prayer reflectively; to read – a novel, Julian Barnes’ The Noise of Time, and a spirituality book, Ronald Rolheiser’s The Holy Longing, each recommended to me by a member of St. James’ and both worthwhile; to walk up to a lookout (ringing a bell first to ward off the neighbourhood bear and cougar!); and, above all, to be still, to wait upon God.
I am thankful to God and my hosts for a restful and restorative time, and for many graces received. It is remarkable, however, how quickly general busy-ness has taken over on my return, even in August. I am reminded even more how essential, and how difficult, it is to find a regular time each day to be still and open to God. The routine of Morning and Evening Prayer, together with the Mass, gives a framework to the day, but it is so easy for that necessary time of focused stillness to be crowded out by cares and concerns, or interrupted by seemingly more urgent demands. It is that need of selfdiscipline again! I know there are many in St. James’ who do find time to be still and to pray, for whose prayers and example I am grateful. I would be interested to hear from any who would value coming together for a shared time of silent prayer, initially perhaps once a month. One possible time would be 4 pm on a Sunday afternoon, concluding with Evening Prayer at 5 pm.

CHORAL SCHOLARSHIPS A long-standing tradition of Anglican churches is the rôle of Choral Scholar – a university student who receives a scholarship in exchange for singing in the choir. The programme adds voices to our choir, improving the tone, and balance – and also offers students a marvellous opportunity to gain experience singing some of the finest choral works and learning a wide range of church music. Additionally, the benefits of this programme continue throughout the year, as also over the summer months the music ministry is supported by our Choral Scholars. Based on the success over the past year, the Trustees have agreed to support the Choral Scholarship programme for another season starting in September in a fund-matching model. A number of generous donations have already been received from individual parishioners, and we are in need of some additional help. If you appreciate music, please consider supporting the Choral Scholarship programme. You can use the donation envelope from the pew and write 2435 Music Scholarship on the envelope. Or, go to www.stjames.bc.ca/donate to give online and specify 2435 Music Scholarship as the purpose of your donation.
