Dear Parishioners, Further to my writings on the use of Incense in the liturgy, some more information, thoughts and reflections: Holy Trinity Kew has been in possession of a thurible, boat and stand since at least 1994 and has used incense at various occasions over the last twenty years including Holy Week at Maundy Thursday Services, Evensongs, Funerals, some weekday services and special Sunday occasions.

Incense is made from various aromatic resins and gums taken from trees and other plants. In church it is normally burned in a censer or thurible. Because it is difficult to burn on its own, and to create the perfumed smoke, it is burned on charcoal. Most of Christianity uses, or has used, incense in worship.

The Church of England used incense throughout its history, until the mid 1600s, when its use diminished along with other practices, though it continued to be used in worship in various places and in particular Ely Cathedral and York Minster and in the Great 36 ft Paschal Candle at Salisbury Cathedral. However since the mid 19th century its use has spread and increased with the growth of the Anglican Communion.

In the Anglican Church our liturgy, practices and rubrics come from authoritative and/or authorised sources, such as the Book of Common Prayer 1662 and 1928, English Missal 1912, A Prayer Book For Australia 1995, An Australian Prayer Book 1978, Lent Holy Week and Easter 1984, Anglican Services Book 1980 and Common Worship 2000 to name a few. Other denominations and congregations may choose to devise liturgies based on local circumstances and what suits them and can be entirely different to a neighbouring similar congregation. However because we are a part of the Anglican Church of Australia and the Anglican Communion congregations do not make up add/ omit to liturgies to suit themselves. The Tradition in Western and Eastern Churches, which includes us, the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches, but also Churches like the Lutheran Church matters of liturgy are determined and decided by the appropriate ecclesiastical authority. In the Melbourne Diocese that means that the ordering and execution of that liturgy is the sole responsibility of the Vicar within the approval guidelines of the Archbishop of Melbourne.

Liturgy is the formal public worship of the Church – its work. The Liturgy of the Church is made up of the liturgy of the Christian community, and should be the best that we can possibly offer to God. So the best sounds, the best images, the best movements and the best smells are a part of that worship. Christian worship flows out of our love of God and our desire to express that love. As such we should worship Him with “all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, and 2

with all our strength” (Mark 12:30-31). Good liturgy is designed to engage and stimulate just such a response in us, by exciting the senses and feeding our imagination. The use of incense enables even fuller participation in the liturgy by stimulating the sense of smell. It also provides colour, movement and sound as the thurible is swung and its chain ‘chinks’.

Symbols in liturgy help to point our minds in the direction of invisible realities, and speak to us in a language often richer than words alone. As a symbol, incense is exceptionally rich in associations. Of its many possible associations, two are particularly worthy of mention.

In the Gospel of Matthew (2:11) we read of the Magi bringing Frankincense (a particular type of incense) as a gift to the Christ child. The words of that wellloved Christmas carol “We three kings” comes to mind: ‘Frankincense to offer have I; Incense owns a Deity nigh; Prayer and praising, voices raising, Worshipping God on high.’ Also that beautiful popular hymn we sing quoting Psalm 96:9: ‘O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim; With gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness, Kneel and adore Him: the Lord is His name!’ Incense is a sign of our belief in the Real Presence of Christ, the Son of God. What was good enough for the Wise Men is surely good enough for us!

In the Book of Revelation, the burning of incense is depicted by John the Divine to be an important part of the worship of heaven. In chapter 5:8 we read of “golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the Saints” This whole book of the New Testament is full of symbolism. Many commentators believe that John the Divine, the writer of the book, was strongly influenced by the worship, or liturgy, of his own church. When we burn incense we remind ourselves that our prayers, like the incense, ascend to the throne of God and mingle with the prayers of the saints in heaven.

St Paul writing in his first letter to the Corinthians (2:15-16) we read: “For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to the one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?” In the Eucharist we join our offering with that of Christ himself on the cross, as he offers himself to the Father on our behalf. The burning of incense in the Eucharist reminds us that Christ's sacrifice is real, and just as effective for us who are alive today as it was when he died on the cross.

Yours In Christ, Fr Robert 3

Hymn: Sing praise to the Lord! TiS 96

1. Sing praise to the Lord! praise him in the height; rejoice in his word, you angels of light; all heaven adore him by whom you were made, and worship before him in brightness arrayed.

3. Sing praise to the Lord, all things that give sound; each jubilant chord re-echo around; loud organs, his glory tell forth in deep tone, and sweet harp, the story of what he has done.

2. Sing praise to the Lord! praise him upon earth, in tuneful accord sing praise for new birth; praise him who has brought you his grace from above, praise him who has taught you to sing of his love.

4. Sing praise to the Lord! thanksgiving and song to him be outpoured all ages along; for love in creation, for heaven restored, for grace of salvation, sing praise to the Lord!

Henry Williams Baker 1821–77 alt. based on Psalm 148 and Psalm 150

Invocation: Blessed be God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Blessed be God's kingdom, now and for ever.

Greeting: The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

Sentence: Jesus said, ‘It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.’ John 6.63 Prayer of Preparation: As we gather as God's people let us pray together: Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Summary of the Commandments: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ Jesus said: ‘This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbour as yourself.’

Kyrie eleison

The Confession Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, confident in God's forgiveness.

Merciful God, our maker and our judge, we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, and in what we have failed to do: we have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves; we repent, and are sorry for all our sins.

Father, forgive us.

Strengthen us to love and obey you in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Absolution (Celebrant) Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to him in faith: pardon you and set you free from all your sins, strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer of the Day Everliving God, by whose Spirit the whole body of the Church is governed and sanctified: hear the prayers we offer for all your faithful people, that in the ministry to which you have called them each may serve you in holiness and truth; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV) First Reading: 1 Kings 8.22-30, 41-43 22 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands to heaven. 23 He said, ‘O Lord , God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and steadfast love for your servants who walk before you with all their heart, 24 the covenant that you kept for your servant my father David as you declared to him; you promised with your mouth and have this day fulfilled with your hand. 25 Therefore, O Lord , God of Israel, keep for your servant my father David that which you promised him, saying, “There shall never fail you a successor before me to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children look to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.” 26 Therefore, O God of Israel, let your word be confirmed, which you promised to your servant my father David. 27 ‘But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Even heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you, much less this house that I have built! 28 Have regard to your servant’s prayer and his plea, O Lord my God, heeding the cry and the prayer that your servant prays to you today; 29 that your eyes may be open night and day towards this house, the place of which you said, “My name shall be there”, that you may heed the prayer that your servant prays towards this place. 30 Hear the plea of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray towards this place; O hear in heaven your dwelling-place; heed and forgive. 41 ‘Likewise when a foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, comes from a distant land because of your name 42 —for they shall hear of 8

your great name, your mighty hand, and your outstretched arm—when a foreigner comes and prays towards this house, 43 then hear in heaven your dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and so that they may know that your name has been invoked on this house that I have built.

Response: Hear the word of the Lord, THANKS BE TO GOD

Psalm: 84 – Congregation to sing with choir

How lovely | is your | dwelling-place: O | Lord | God of | hosts!

2 My soul has a desire and longing to enter the | courts· of the | Lord: my heart and my flesh re|joice· in the | living | God. 1

The sparrow has found her a home, and the swallow a nest where she may | lay her | young: even your altar, O Lord of | hosts my | King· and my | God. 4 Blessèd are those who | dwell in· your | house: they will | always· be | praising | you.

3

Blessèd are those whose | strength· is in | you: in whose | heart· are the | highways· to | Zion; 6 Who going through the valley of dryness, find there a spring from | which to | drink: till the autumn | rain shall | clothe it· with | blessings.

5

They go from | strength to | strength: they appear every one of them, before the | God of | gods in | Zion.

8 O Lord God of hosts | hear my | prayer: give | ear O | God of | Jacob.

7

9

Behold O God | him who· reigns | over us: and look upon the | face of | you’re a|nointed.

10 One day in your courts is | better· than a | thousand: I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than | dwell· in the | tents of· un|godliness.

9

For the Lord God is a light and a shield, the Lord gives | favour· and | honour: and no good thing will he withhold from | those who | walk in | innocence.

12 O Lord | God of | hosts: blessèd are those who | put their | trust in | you.

11

Glory be to the Father, and | to the | Son: and | to the | Holy | Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now and | ever | shall be: world without | end. | A|men.

Second Reading: Ephesians 6.10-20 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. 15 As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. 16 With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of 10

God. 18 Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints. 19 Pray also for me, so that when I speak, a message may be given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it boldly, as I must speak.

Response: Hear the word of the Lord, THANKS BE TO GOD Gradual Hymn: As pants the hart for cooling streams TiS 25

1. As pants the hart for cooling streams in parched and barren ways, so longs my soul for you, O God, and your refreshing grace.

3. God of my strength, my tears have been by day and night my food; the mockers taunt continually and say: ‘Where is your God?’

2. For you my God, the living God, my thirsting soul will pine: O when shall I behold your face, your majesty divine?

4. Why restless, why cast down, my soul?

Hope still, and you shall sing the praise of him who is your God, your health’s eternal spring.

Nahum Tate 1652–1715 and Nicholas Brady 1659–1726 alt.

WE STAND FOR THE READING OF THE HOLY GOSPEL AS A SIGN OF RESPECT AS WE GREET OUR LORD WHO IS PRESENT IN HIS HOLY WORD. ALLELUIA – Sung by ALL

The Lord be with you AND ALSO WITH YOU The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Saint John chapter 6 beginning at the 56th verse.

Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live for ever.’ 59 He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum. 60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, ‘This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?’ 61 But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, ‘Does this offend you? 62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? 63 It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But among you there are some who do not believe.’ For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe, and who was the one that would betray him. 65 And he said, ‘For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted by the Father.’ 66 Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. 67 So Jesus asked the twelve, ‘Do you also wish to go away?’ 68 Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.’ Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord, 56

SERMON - (copy of sermon available at back of church and on web)

The Nicene Creed Let us together affirm the faith of the Church.

We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

3. Firm as his throne his promise stands, and he can well secure what I’ve committed to his hands till the decisive hour.

4. Then will he own my humble name before his Father’s face, and in the new Jerusalem appoint my soul a place.

Trinity College Theological School Inaugural Archbishop’s Dinner Wednesday 26 August 2015 6:30 pm, Trinity College Dining Hall Faith in our Future Fund Trinity College Theological School provides theological training for candidates for ordination and lay ministers. It follows the tradition of the Anglo-Catholic theology. The College has recently transformed into a full teaching college under the umbrella of the University of Divinity. At present there is an urgent need to support and strengthen the resources of the School so it continues to effectively teach and minister to ordination candidates and other theological students.

Trinity is making a concerted effort this year to increase support for its theological programs. The College Board has committed an additional $100,000 a year for the next three years, to see the new and expanded staffing arrangements bedded-down, and the Advancement Office is marshalling its significant resources to substantially increase support for the School.

This Dinner is a key element in this strategy. The Archbishop has added his name to the Dinner and is individually inviting people to attend.

The dinner is a unique opportunity to contribute to the future development of our Diocese. Trinity needs to flourish if the rich and generous style of Anglicanism that has characterised Melbourne is to be maintained into the future.

There are a number of parishes that are supporting this effort to sustain the Theological School.

Please fill in form at the back of church if you wish to attend.
