3 The Calendar George Fox ( ) The commemoration of George Fox, founder of the Society of Friends, the Quakers, is on January 13 th, close to the Sunday when we celebrate the Baptism of Jesus. They are both celebrations of the work of the Holy Spirit. George Fox was born into a weaver s home in Leicestershire at a time when plurality of emerging religious expression and experience cloaked hard political dynamics that led to civil war. Fox was apprenticed to a cobbler, for his parents saw his future in trade, but his vocation led him elsewhere. He felt acute spiritual unease and left home in 1643 to wander the country, often at night, seeking truth and meaning. At age 18 he heard a voice, he later called an Inner Light, telling him to follow Christ. The experience was accompanied by a physical shaking, which was sometimes repeated before other, later, revelations. Though solitary, he was not alone, for thousands found the principal denominations unsatisfactory. Guided by the Inner Light, he found himself moved to preach widely and clearly on biblical principles and society, but always in response to God, not drawing on an extensive education. His key vision came in late May 1652, when he was moved to climb Pendle Hill, in the Lancashire fells, and was granted a vision of multitudes who would follow in his way, and on June 9 th & 13 th his preaching to over 1000 people is thought of as the birth of Quakerism. Shortly afterwards he founded the Society of Friends. He preached against an established church (which he view as corruptible), and took on both episcopalians and others during Cromwell s Commonwealth. As a result he was sent to jail eight times and beaten up on innumerable occasions. He preached an Early Church vision, of Christians who would help each other, conduct themselves with honesty and integrity, and never resort to violence. Quakers expected persecution. His message, and the example of many followers, spread like wildfire, so that at the end of his life, which included two years in America (Pennsylvania was originally a Quaker colony), one tenth of the population of England were Friends. Two years before he died, the Act of Toleration was passed, giving Protestants freedom of expression. His clear example of openness to the Holy Spirit, and his itinerant way of life, are quite different from the materialism that pervades our Society.

He found Philip and said to him, "Follow me." Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth." Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, "Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!" Nathanael asked him, "Where did you get to know me?" Jesus answered, "I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you." Nathanael replied, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" Jesus answered, "Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these." And he said to him, "Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man." (John 1:43-51) The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ. (BCP) Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. (BAS) 4 9 9

5 A Reading from the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are beneficial. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be dominated by anything. "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food," and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is meant not for fornication but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that whoever is united to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For it is said, "The two shall be one flesh." But anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Shun fornication! Every sin that a person commits is outside the body; but the fornicator sins against the body itself. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body. (1 Corinthians 6:12-20) 8 Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God.

February 1 7:00 p.m. Choral Evensong for Candelmas Please plan to attend this service marking the Presentation of Christ in the Temple. Evensong (Evening Prayer) is the evening service of the Anglican Church. It was compiled for the Book of Common Prayer from the offices of Vespers and Compile by Archbishop Cranmer. The service is composed of bible readings, prayers, hymns, and canticles. The latter have been set to music since the 16th century, and are foundational elements of the Anglican choral tradition, being sung daily in cathedrals and chapels around the world. The Magnificat is Mary's humble response to God's message delivered to her by the angel Gabriel at the Annunciation. It has been part of the church's evening office since the 6th century. The Nunc dimittis is Simeon's response to meeting the Messiah, even as a baby. He prepares for the evening light, for the end of each day, and, eventually for the end of our lives.

6 A Reading from the First Book of Samuel Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord under Eli. The word of the Lord was rare in those days; visions were not widespread. At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his room; the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. Then the Lord called, "Samuel! Samuel!" and he said, "Here I am!" and ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call; lie down again." So he went and lay down. The Lord called again, "Samuel!" Samuel got up and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call, my son; lie down again." Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. The Lord called Samuel again, a third time. And he got up and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy. Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you shall say, 'Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place. Now the Lord came and stood there, calling as before, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening." (1 Samuel 3:1-10) Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God. Psalm 139:1-5, Lord, you have searched me out and known me; you know my sitting down and my rising up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You trace my journeys and my resting places and are acquainted with all my ways. Indeed, there is not a word on my lips, but you, O Lord, know it altogether. You press upon me behind and before and lay your hand upon me. Refrain. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain to it. For you yourself created my inmost parts; you knit me together in my mother s womb. I will thank you because I am marvellously made; your works are wonderful, and I know it well. Refrain. My body was not hidden from you, while I was being made in secret and woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld my limbs, yet unfinished in the womb; all of them were written in your book; they were fashioned day by day, when as yet there was none of them. Refrain. How deep I find your thoughts, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I were to count them, they would be more in number than the sand; to count them all, my life span would need to be like yours. Refrain. 6 7
