The Angelus
Monthly Publication of the Church of Our Saviour
Dear friends of the Church of Our Saviour,
On September 11, 2016, we will host
our third annual parish ministry fair. We’ll
gather in Pettway Hall between the morning
services. Each guild will be represented and
you will have the opportunity to learn about
the various ministries active in our shared
life. Fifteen years after horrific events transpired in our nation, and ninety-two years
after our founding as a parish, we will gather
to proclaim the power of the God who led
slaves through the Red Sea and raised Jesus
Christ from the dead. I hope that you will
take this opportunity to consider how you
might continue to exercise your gifts for the
building up of the Church. As a processional
banner in a London parish church recently
reminded me, everything that we do at the
Church of Our Saviour we seek to do “for
God and for the Church.”
Through service to the community and
the world, service at the Altar, or administrative labor, we offer ourselves in love so that
all who share in our common life might come
to trust in the everlasting generosity and
goodness of the Holy Trinity. I hope you will
plan to be present at the fair and that you
would take seriously the gifts you have to
offer just now in our common life. We are at
September 2016
an exciting time in the life of our parish, and each
of you— animated by the Holy Spirit—is taking
responsibility for an authentic and gracious
Christian witness in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood.
Beginning September 18, 2016, we will
resume Christian education for children and
adults. We are happy to say that our children will
be moving upstairs in Garrison Hall, as the class
has outgrown their room downstairs. We will
continue offering Our Saviour’s “edition” of
Godly Play, which has been very effective in capturing the sacramental imagination of our children. Adult education will still meet in the
Library and this fall we will be familiarizing ourselves with the stories of several Saints. Bishop
Barron has produced a new DVD series that will
be released at the beginning of September just in
time for our class (here is a link to preview:
http://pivotalplayers.wordonfire.org/). We will
plan to watch roughly twenty minutes each session, followed by discussion. When we complete
this study we will look at a new book by Bishop
Rowan Williams called Being Christian: Baptism, Bible, Eucharist, and Prayer. I hope that
you will consider joining us between the Sunday
services each week throughout the year.
As the school year settles in and the summer presses on, let us strive to be a welcoming
and hospitable church that continues offering reverent and traditional worship, sacramental spirituality, and an unwavering commitment to serve
those in need. Our mission is to grow in the
knowledge and love of the Lord and to be a place
where all people can discover the peace of God
which passes all understanding. Through our
prayer and common worship, through our commitments to the parish, and by the grace of God,
let us press on with steadfast faith.
Under the mercy,
Father Zachary Thompson+

Events During September
The Feast Days are major feasts listed in our Book of Common Prayer.
Parish Luncheon
Will Not be Held in September
Our regular First Sunday meal will NOT be
held in the month of September.
Holy Cross Day
September 14, 2016
Holy Cross Day is a day for recognizing the
cross as a sign of Christ’s victory and triumph
over death and as a reminder that we share in that
victory. “And when I am lifted up, I will draw all
men unto me.” (John 12:32)
Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus
Christ was lifted high upon the cross that he
might draw the whole world unto himself; mercifully grant that we, who glory in the mystery of
our redemption, may have grace to take up our
cross and follow him; who liveth and reigneth
with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God in glory
everlasting. Amen. (BCP 1979)
Saint Matthew
September 21, 2016
Saint Matthew was one of the original
twelve disciples of Jesus. Before Jesus called him
he was a tax collector. He is traditionally considered to be the author of the gospel that bears his
name and to have died a martyr.
We thank thee, heavenly Father, for the witness
of thine apostle and evangelist Matthew to the
Gospel of thy Son our Savior; and we pray that,
after his example, we may with ready wills and
hearts obey the calling of our Lord to follow him;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and
reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and for ever. Amen. (BCP 1979)
Parish Ministry Fair
It’s coming up on that time of year again!
Summer is ending and school will quickly be
starting back up. On Sunday, September 11,
2016, the Church of Our Saviour will be holding
their third annual Parish Ministry Fair between
the services. This is the time when the guilds
have an opportunity to let fellow parishioners
know what they are about, how they operate and
why someone would want to join their group.
Plan now to stay after the 8:30 am service or
come early for the 11:00 am one. If you have
time and talents to offer the parish, this is the
chance to find out where your efforts can best be
put to work.

St. Michael and All Angels
September 29, 2016
O everlasting God, who hast ordained and constituted the ministries of angels and men in a
wonderful order; Mercifully grant that, as thy
holy angels always serve and worship thee in
heaven, so by thy appointment they may help and
defend us on earth; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and thy
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
(BCP 1979)

Saint of the Month
Saint Michael and All Angels
By Berkeley Strobel
September 29 is the Feast Day for Saint
Michael and All Angels.
The idea of angels seems foreign to our era.
Popular art presents innocent children or willowy
females with wings, while angels in film also
usually bear little resemblance to the real thing.
The word “angel” is quite old. The Persians
called the messengers of their king, the imperial
couriers, “angaros.” Sanskrit refers to “angiras,”
meaning luminous, divine persons. Our understanding of angels combines these two.
Both the Canon of Scripture and apocryphal works of the Old Testament mention angels.
Saint Michael appears in the early folklore of the
Jews as a great warrior and captain of warriors,
the great protector of the Jews. In one story,
Michael and Satan are contending over the body
of Moses, who had violated the Law by the murder of an Egyptian overseer. Satan does not get
his way. Michael does not struggle with Satan.
He simply rebukes him. In the story of Lot, the
two strangers, whom the male residents of Sodom demand to be given to them, are angels, who
appear at first as ordinary men.
John, in Revelation, speaks of war in
heaven; Michael and his angels contending with
Satan and his rebellious angels, casting them out.
Our Lord confirms this event, when he said, “I
watched Satan fall like lightening from heaven.”
It is primarily in their role as messengers
that we see angels in the New Testament. An
angel appeared to Zechariah in the solitary precincts of the inner Temple, where Zechariah was,
by ritual, to be alone, offering the sacrifice of
incense. The angel bore the message that Zechariah’s aged wife was to bear a son, John the
Baptist. Angels appeared in all their glory to
announce to the shepherds that Our Lord had
been born.
An angel appeared to Mary to tell her she
would bear the Saviour. Joseph had several
dreams in which an angel appeared, first assuring
him that the Infant that Mary bore was not by a
human father, but was God’s Messiah. In a sec-
Page 4
ond dream an angel told Joseph to take his
family and flee the murder planned by Herod,
and in a third dream an angel told him Herod
was dead, and it was safe to return to his homeland. Angels appeared at the tomb on Easter
morning, to tell certain women that something
completely unknown had happened.
The angels are central participants in the
revelation of God to Mankind. Man could not
have “figured it out” alone. No man can see
God, or understand God by his own efforts.
God can only be known to us by revealing
Himself.
Our Lord tells us that when the earth
ends, it will be the angels who gather up the
righteous, and bind the evil ones. When Our
Lord comes again, He will be accompanied by
all the angels. In the last days, the angels will
finally and completely proclaim Him.
Angels were involved in events such as
freeing Peter and Paul from imprisonment, rolling the stone away from the tomb on Easter,
and striking down Herod when he accepted the
proclamation that he was a god. An angel told
Peter that the Jewish laws concerning diet and
association with Gentiles need not apply to followers of the Way. Matthew says each of us
has an angel who continuously prays for us.
Our Lord says that in the next life, we shall be
able to see the angels as they actually are.
Angels comfort and strengthen us in our
struggles, as they did Our Lord, but it is up to
us to do the physical, worldly things to defeat
evil. In Greek plays, and in many a novel, there
appears what the Greeks called deus ex
machina, the god of the machine, the sudden
intervention of some outside force to set things
aright. Do not expect angels to be like that.
We know of angels as messengers and
heralds, but angels are also warriors, contending cosmically with evil. We do not see and
cannot in this life know, how many times and
in what ways the angels have protected us
against evil. But the fact that we are to some
degree protected does not remove from us the
obligation to fight evil ourselves. To make war
with evil on earth is a part of God’s will for us,
just as cosmically fighting evil is a part of
THE ANGELUS
September 2016
God’s will for the angels. Angels rebuke, but do
not expel.
Our Lord said, on this subject, “Did you
not know, that if I asked the Father, He would
send twelve legions of angels to defend me?” But
Our Lord did not do so. Not yet.
We are a composite being, both animal and
spirit combined in one creature. Angels do not
have bodies as we know them. Normally angels
do not take on physical appearance or characteristics. If then an angel is speaking to me, spirit to
spirit-animal, how can I tell what kind he is?
Does this “angel,” this creature I cannot see, this
voice, owe allegiance to God, or has he thrown
in with Satan? There is only one way that I know
of to judge, and that is by measuring, judging,
what we are told against what God has shown us
in Scripture, and in the Tradition of the Church.
This must be applied to any thought, any impulse, any idea we may have, whatever the
source. We must judge by God’s measure, not
ours. Perhaps this is what Paul meant when he
said we would judge angels.
If an angel of God takes on a physical appearance, it is because God has some special reason. But we have no power in the matter. Both
good and evil angels obey their sovereign. Both
Our Lord and Paul warn that false and evil creatures are able to seem as righteous. But we have
a means, the Word of Our Lord, by which to
judge.
The appearances of God’s angels seem to
congregate around great heavenly events. If you
do not live near a railroad, it is doubtful you will
ever see a train going past your house. We can’t
make an angel appear. Angels, both good and
evil, do as their sovereign bids.
As for seeing angels themselves, are we
ready for that? If tomorrow we do happen to see
great legions of angels in all their glory, we
already know what is coming next. Our Lord has
already told us what that means. We aren’t ready
for that? It is part of our job to get ready. For
when it happens, in a moment, “in the twinkling
of an eye,” God’s Holy Angels, in all their glory,
will be among us.
Blessed Michael and All Angels, pray for us.

Saint Michael’s Bannock
Saint Michael’s feast day is celebrated
on September 29 as a sort of harvest festival.
In gaelic countries there is a tradition of eating
a “bannock” or griddle cake on his feast day.
This bannock seems to be made from whatever grains are plentiful; thus Scottish recipes
are made from rye, barley and oat flour and
this recipe, based on an Irish (via Canada) tradition, uses wheat flour. It is baked in the oven
rather than on top of the stove, but is quite
tasty, nevertheless.
Saint Michael’s Bannock
3 cups plain, all-purpose, bleached flour
1 tsp salt
2 tablespoons baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar (if you use fruit add an
additional ½ cup sugar)
1 ¼ cup water, divided
½ cup melted butter
½ - 1 cup raisins, cranberries, currents, blueberries, etc (optional)







Butter an iron skillet generously. Pre-heat
oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter. (I find
the microwave does a good job of this.)
Stir flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar
together in a large bowl until thoroughly
mixed.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in ½ cup water. Do not mix.
Then pour in the melted butter and at least
½ cup of the remaining water. Stir.
The resulting batter should be very sticky.
Add the rest of the water if you need to,
which you probably will. Do not over mix.
Knead with floured hands in the bowl ten
times. Do not add extra flour.
Spread the batter in the skillet and bake for
40 – 45 minutes.
NOTE: If you do add fruit like raisins or cranberries, after it is finished baking, brush the
top with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon or cardamom sugar.

John Merbecke
By Dr. Daniel Pyle
In September we change the musical settings of the Ordinary of the Mass. Since the Sunday after Trinity we have been singing the Kyrie,
the Gloria, the Sanctus, and the Agnus Dei in a
musical setting by Franz Schubert which was
adapted for Rite I by myself. For the remaining
three months of Ordinary Time — the long, green
season of Sundays after Pentecost (green, because that it is the color of vestments and liturgical furnishings for this season) — we will sing
the first, the original, Anglican service music,
created in 1550 by John Merbecke at the request
of Archbishop Thomas Cranmer.
Merbecke’s place in the history of Anglican
music is anomalous. His musical setting of the
Communion Service from the Book of Common
Prayer is in our time widely known and sung, but
in his own time was scarcely sung at all. Furthermore, the modern rediscovery of his service
music was the work of the Oxford Movement and
therefore closely associated with the AngloCatholic wing of the Church of England, but he
was himself more sympathetic with the Protestant
side of Anglicanism, coming very close to losing
his life over it.
Merbecke (whose name was also spelled
“Marbeck” — which gives us an important clue
to its pronunciation) spent almost all his professional life as a musician at Saint George’s Chapel
in Windsor Castle, first as a boy-chorister, then
as an organist and lay-clerk (one of the “singing
men” in the choir), and finally as the Master of
the Choristers. In fact, he may have been born in
Windsor, although we do not know that for sure,
nor even when he was born, or died. The best
estimate is that he was born in or around 1505;
and since his successor at Saint George’s Chapel
was appointed in 1585, it seems likely that he
died in that year. But in his long life he served
four Tudor monarchs: Henry VIII, Edward VI,
Mary I, and Elizabeth I.
He was greatly talented, not only as a musician, but also as a scholar and theologian. Even
as a young man he was strongly influenced by the
humanism of the Renaissance. He began work
Page 6
compiling a Concordance of the English Bible,
which was substantially complete by 1543.
Unfortunately, in that year he and three others
were arrested for heresy, on the basis of possessing a copy of a letter written by John Calvin,
and his Concordance was confiscated and
destroyed. Fortunately for him, however, the
Bishop of London, Stephen Gardiner, interceded
with the King on Merbecke’s behalf, and he was
allowed to return to his position at Saint George’s
(his three co-defendants were executed).
Merbecke’s arrest may seem strange to us,
since it took place after Henry VIII’s break with
the Roman Church was finalized by the Acts of
Supremacy of 1534. However, these Acts
changed very little of the worship in English
churches, which was still conducted in Latin by
priests in elaborate vestments, celebrating a
liturgy that was entirely Catholic even if no
longer Roman. Subsequent acts of Parliament
made it a criminal offense to deny that the Mass
was a sacrifice, that the bread and wine were
completely changed into the Body and Blood
(i.e., transubstantiation), or for any person other
than nobility or ordained priests to read a Bible.
Henry’s reformation was in essence a political
one only.
It was for Henry’s successor, Edward VI,
who became king in 1547, to bring the Reformation into English parishes. It was Edward (or
rather his uncle, Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, who acted as regent during Edward’s
minority), who commissioned Archbishop Cranmer to create the first English Book of Common
Prayer, which was promulgated in 1549. Cranmer, in spite of the Protestant character of his liturgy, believed that the worship services should
be sung, and so he invited Merbecke to create or
adapt a new style of plainchant for English congregations to use with their new English Book of
Common Prayer. The result was the publication
in 1550 of Merbecke’s The Booke of Common
Praier Noted (the word “noted” referring to
musical notation, that is, “set to notes”). The
chant melodies that Merbecke created for the new
English liturgies are still in use today, almost 500
years later.
Cranmer’s goal, and Merbecke’s as well,
THE ANGELUS
September 2016
was to create musical settings of the liturgy that
could be sung by all congregants, not just by
professional musicians. The most important
characteristic for both archbishop and organist
was “for every syllable a note.” One can see this
principle at work by comparing two musical versions of “Lord, have mercy upon us” from our
own hymnal. Merbecke’s version (S-90, which
we will begin singing on Sunday, September 11)
does indeed have one note for each syllable. The
setting by Healey Willan (S-91, well known to
us all, dating from 1928) is mostly syllabic, with
a very few instances of two or three notes to one
syllable. But at the opposite extreme is the Missa
marialis (S-92, which we also sing, on Marian
feasts and during the Epiphany season), which is
an adaptation in English of a Medieval plainchant Mass: on the first syllable “Lord” there are
eight notes to be sung, and in the final statement
of “Lord, have mercy upon us” there are no less
than 35 notes for the single syllable “Lord”! All
of Merbecke’s settings for the 1549 BCP fulfill
the principle of “for every syllable a note.”
Merbecke also took the vastly important step of
creating a rhythm for this music that closely
matches the pattern of stressed and unstressed
syllables of English prose. This makes him a significant composer of English songs, the predecessor of Tallis and Byrd, Purcell and Handel,
Vaughan Williams and Britten, even (if you will)
Lennon and McCartney.
As important a milestone as The Booke of
Common Praier Noted is in the evolution of English music, it was only used for three years. This
is because the 1549 BCP was superseded by the
second Book of Common Prayer in 1552 (also
Cranmer’s work, but more Protestant in character than that of 1549), which rendered Merbecke’s musical settings obsolete. He might have
been asked to revise his book, but in 1553 Edward VI died and was succeeded by his oldest
sister Mary I. She restored the English church to
union with Rome, and eliminated the Englishlanguage liturgies in favor of Latin. Merbecke’s
book was of little use during her reign. When
Elizabeth I came to the throne in 1558, the English church was again made independent of
Rome, and the language of worship was English
September 2016
again (for the most part — some collegiate
churches and chapels, particularly Elizabeth’s
own Chapel Royal, were still permitted to use
Latin). A third BCP was instituted in 1559, and a
fourth after the Stuart Restoration in 1662. That
last book is still the official Book of Common
Prayer in the United Kingdom.
But Merbecke’s music for the liturgies of
the Anglican church remained little more than a
historical footnote until the Oxford Movement
started in 1833. One of the objectives of the
founders of Anglo-Catholicism was to restore the
sung (i.e., chanted) liturgy, a thing that had disappeared almost entirely from the Church of England. They discovered one of the dozen or so surviving copies of Merbecke’s book, and found in it
a complete chant-setting of the Anglican liturgies
ready to hand. In the second half of the 19th century multiple versions of it appeared in print, with
harmonized accompaniment by the foremost English organists of the time. A version of it can be
found online at http://justus.anglican.org/
resources/bcp/Merbecke/Merbecke.pdf. And it
has continued in use since then, right up to the
present, up to this very month, at the Church of
Our Saviour.

Volunteers Needed
Delivery persons for our outreach program
to the Church of the Common Ground are
needed! Each week COOS volunteers make and
deliver sandwiches to the parishioners at the
Church of the Common Ground.
Delivery involves picking up the sandwiches from the COOS kitchen on Wednesday afternoon and delivering them to the Common
Ground priest in Woodruff Park at 2:30 pm, for
their 3:00 pm Bible study. Delivery persons are
always welcome to join the Bible study, but this
is not required – dropping off is fine if time
doesn’t permit! Most volunteers deliver about
once a month, but the schedule is flexible. And
“training” in the form of a delivery with an experienced volunteer) is available. Please contact
Eric Strange at [email protected] if you
can help with this outreach program!

Stewardship Letter
By Brian Mullaney
Having settled into the start of a new school
year, fall, and the latter part of Ordinary Time, it
is time to renew our focus on stewardship.
(Please don’t stop reading!)
When we speak of “stewardship” in the
context of the church, it often connotes “a yearly
pledge of time, talent, and money, based upon
programmatic budgetary needs to run an institution and its laudatory programs.” But this, the
Reverend Dr. John H. Westerhoff teaches us, “is
not an acceptable understanding of stewardship…. As stewards of God, we are invited to
join in God’s actions, God’s mission in the
world. We are, remember, Christ’s body, God’s
sacrament, so that Christ can be present through
us in human life and history. It is for this sacramental purpose that God calls us into the church.
“We are to live our lives in the interest of fulfilling God’s will. And the more we have been
given, the more will be expected of us. We need
not, for example, feel guilty for having abundant
food, so long as the energy and joy we receive
from it are devoted to the needs and happiness of
the hungry. ‘Bless this food to our use and us to
your service, while keeping us ever mindful of
the needs of others,’ we pray.
“All that we are and have – our lives, intelligence, imagination, sensibilities, abilities,
potential for growth and inheritance – are gifts
from God, given to us to be developed and used
for the benefit of all God’s children. Stewardship
begins with a recognition that God is a generous
giver and that we are called upon to be a grateful,
responsive, and responsible people. In the words
of Saint Peter: ‘Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with what-
Page 8
ever gift each of you has received…. Whoever
serves must do so with the strength that God
supplies, so that God may be glorified in all
things through Jesus Christ. To him belong the
glory and the power forever and ever.
Amen.’ (NRSV, I Peter 4:10-11)” (Westerhoff,
John H. Grateful and Generous Hearts. New
York: Morehouse Publishing, 1997. 27-29.
Print.)
The theme this year, as provided by the
Episcopal Network for Stewardship, is “Living
Generously.” Psalm 112 (Beatus vir.) speaks eloquently about this theme, defining generous living as being gracious, merciful, and righteous:
“Light rises in the darkness for the upright; the
Lord is gracious, merciful, and righteous. It is
well with the man who deals generously and
lends, who conducts his affairs with justice.”
(RSV, 4-5)
Generous living is much more than what
we do with our money. We are called to be kind
to one another and to all living things. We are
called to deal with each other honestly and
humbly.
“This year’s stewardship theme is a strong
call to action to each of us as followers of
Jesus,”,says TENS Executive Director Rick Felton. “He showed us the way to live generously:
by welcoming the outcast, by overturning the
tables of the money changers in the temple, by
dining with the poor and healing the sick, by
teaching, by forgiving, and by ultimately giving
his life so that all might have life abundant.”
It is a fact that in our parish many people
already give generously in many ways to further
the ministry and mission of Our Saviour –
through gifts of time, talent, and treasure. In
September, we focus intentionally on our time
THE ANGELUS
September 2016
and talent, given to support the ministries – both
internal and external – of this parish.
An updated Parish Ministry Brochure will
be mailed to all households later this month and
will be available on the literature table at the back
of the church thereafter. In the brochure, you will
again find a brief description of the work of each
guild or committee, along with the contact information for its leader. Please use this brochure to
learn more about the ministries of this parish and
as an aid in prayer for the good work each guild
does.
Our annual Parish Ministry Fair will be in
Pettway Hall between the morning services
(about 9:45 to 10:45 am) on Sunday, September
11. There, you will find all of our parish guilds
and ministries presented, and the leaders or Vestry representatives available to answer questions
about the work each does. This is an opportunity
for you to explore the various ministries of this
parish.
If you are already active in a ministry:
many thanks for the work that you do. You lead
us in singing, prepare the sanctuary for mass, and
serve the priest. You ensure that our visitors are
welcomed and everyone offered hospitality. You
help to maintain our buildings and grounds. You
help us to communicate with each other. You
also ensure that we reach beyond ourselves to
show Christ’s love to those in need of food,
clothing, and other aid. The parish greatly appreciates your ministry and encourages you in continuing this good work.
If you are not involved or can find additional time to engage a new ministry: please consider
this an invitation to explore the many options
available. Is there something that you’ve always
wanted to try but haven’t yet done so? Can you
do it now? The more we give of our time, talent,
and treasure, the more God is able to transform
our offerings to build His Kingdom.
“Turn to the first chapter of the Acts of the
Apostles; there you find Christ laying down the
lines upon which the Church is to work.
“Now you, my brothers and sisters, are the
eyes through which Christ’s compassion is to
look out upon this world, and yours are the lips
September 2016
through which His love is to speak; yours are the
hands with which He is to bless men, and yours
the feet with which He is to go about doing good
– through His Church, which is His
body.” (Pearse, Mark Guy. “Missionary Notes.”
Evangelical Christendom, February 1888, 46.
