The Calendar Sts Crispin and Crispinian (d. c.285) This day is called the Feast of Crispian. He that outlives this day and comes safe home Will stand a-tiptoe when this day is named And rouse him at the name of Crispian Henry V, IV, iii, So flows the middle of King Harry s inspirational speech before Agincourt, a battle fought on October 25 th, 1415, in which we few, we happy few, we band of brothers overcame a vastly larger French army. Crispin and Crispinian were probably Roman brothers, perhaps twins, who came to Gaul in a group of missionaries led by St. Denys fleeing the persecution of Diocletian. They may have settled in Soissons, northern France, supporting themselves as shoemakers, but certainly their preaching of the Good News was so well received that they were killed by the Governor of Soissons when the Emperor Maximillian visited the province. It is not clear if they died in Soissons, or just that their relics were taken there. There is a further tradition that they spent time in Kent, living at Faversham, and certainly their feast day was commemorated in the older English church calendars, including the 1662 BCP. It is probably this connection that prompted Shakespeare to mention these saints six times in King Harry s speech. October 25 th is also the anniversary of the Charge of the Light Brigade, one of the more spectacular of military failures, at the Battle of Balaclava in Perhaps prompted by a family feud between two of the British commanders, the cavalry were (mis-)sent down a gauntlet (Cannon to the right of them/cannon to the left of them/cannon in front of them) to take a Russian position. Tennyson s poem glorified the obedience of the unit and made the soldiers heroes. About forty years later Kipling published The Last of the Light Brigade, a response to the desperate situation of elderly veterans from the Crimean War, neglected by their country. Sadly, some today will still recognize his message. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. Tennyson, The Charge of the Light Brigade Submitted by Chris Burn 2 11

3 The Gospel 10 The Holy Gospel is written in the eighteenth chapter of the Gospel according to Saint Luke beginning at the 1st verse. (BCP) Glory be to thee, O Lord. (BCP) The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. (BAS) Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ. (BAS) Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, 'Grant me justice against my opponent.' For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, 'Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming.'" And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" ( Luke 18:1-8) The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ. (BCP) Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. (BAS) Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost October 20, :30 a. m.

All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficieint, equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you: proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favourable or unfavourable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching. For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths. As for you, always be sober, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, carry out your ministry fully. (2 Timothy 3:14-4:5) Hear what the spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God. 9

PSALM 119:97-104 Refrain: The words of the Lord are sweeter than honey. Oh, how I love your law! all the day long it is in my mind.

5 PSALM 119: Refrain: The words of the Lord are sweeter than honey. Oh, how I love your law! all the day long it is in my mind. Your commandment has made me wiser than my enemies, and it is always with me. Refrain. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your decrees are my study. I am wiser than the elders, because I observe your commandments. Refrain. I restrain my feet from every evil way, that I may keep your word. I do not shrink from your judgements, because you yourself have taught me. Refrain. How sweet are your words to my taste! they are sweeter than honey to my mouth. Through your commandments I gain understanding; therefore I hate every lying way. Refrain. Stewardship Corner The GIFT (Growing in Faith Together) & 150th Anniversary Committee has continued to meet, and now has a new name: St. Bart s 150th Anniversary/GIFT Continuation & Stewardship Committee. Our goal is to advance the spiritual and pastoral work of the parish, and to focus on stewardship. Reporting to Corporation, our role is to provide leadership in assessing the stewardship needs of the parish, and to encourage those with appropriate gifts to be involved as needed. There will be regular stewardship events and programs, and ongoing communication about the financial needs of the parish. As we come together as a parish each September, we all need to think about our regular weekly givings. At the present time at St. Bart s, regular givings are not meeting our 2013 approved budget, and we hope you will all give prayerful consideration to the needs of the parish. Our new organ, renovated and leveled floor and very green lawn give us a lot to celebrate! As we go forward into the fall we give thanks for all our blessings and the fellowship of this dynamic parish.

Mark Your Calendars! Oct. 29, 7:30 p.m. Multi-Media Presentation at St Bart s Margaret Tudor The English Rose of the Scottish Court When we think of Anglo-Scottish relations in the medieval period, images of antagonism often come to mind - stories of Braveheart and border wars tend to dominate our imagination. However, as the life of Margaret Tudor reveals, the bonds between Scotland and England were at times more cordial and complex. The daughter of Henry VII and the sister of Henry VIII, Margaret's marriage to James IV of Scotland in 1503 signalled a period of detente between the two kingdoms. The Tudor-Stewart union coincided with a flourishing of Scottish culture both within the court and in the kingdom at large - and, of course, would eventually lead to a Scot assuming the English throne a century later. In this presentation, Scotticist Dr. Chelsea Honeyman will use words, images and music to illuminate the story of Margaret in Scotland. Afterwards, join us for a Tudor-themed reception for food, drink and chat! Tickets: $25 Students $10. Available after services today or at the office during the week. Nov. 1, 7:30 pm Linden House Players Evening for St Bart s Lloyd George Knew My Father Venue: The Elmwood Theatre 261 Buena Vista Road, Rockcliffe What is so funny about an elderly woman trying to manipulate the media to protest a highway going through the front garden of her ancient house? Lloyd George Knew My Father, written in 1972 by British playwright William Douglas-Home, is a bitter-sweet comedy about the gallantry of protest; it is also a touching elegy on marriage, old age and stoicism. Tickets: $25. Please see Janet Uren after services today or call her at Tickets are also available at the church office during the week. November 6 6:00 p.m. Dinner at the Edinburgh! We are delighted to extend an invitation from the Edinburgh Residence to parishioners, to attend a complimentary dinner on Nov. 6 at 6:00 p.m. Space is limited. Please call the church office if you wish to attend. November 7 & 8 at 7:30 p.m. Concerts at St Bart s On Thursday Nov. 7, the Austrian star pianist, Cornelia Herrmann, youngest ever winner of the International J.S. Bach competition, presents a recital of J.S. Bach & W.A. Mozart. On Friday, Nov. 8., Ms. Herrmann accompanies the superb lyric tenor Christoph Genz, in Robert Schumann s Dichterliebe, 'The Poet's Love'. Tickets at the office. 6 A Reading from the Book of Jeremiah The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of humans and the seed of animals. And just as I have watched over them to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring evil, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says the Lord. In those days they shall no longer say: "The parents have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge." But all shall die for their own sins; the teeth of everyone who eats sour grapes shall be set on edge. The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt - a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, says the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, "Know the Lord," for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more. (Jeremiah 31:27-34) Hear what the spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God. 7
