Dear Parishioners, A Syrophoenician woman puts Jesus on the spot by pleading for his mercy on her daughter who was afflicted with an evil spirit. At first Jesus seemed to pay no attention to her, and this made his disciples feel awkward. Jesus does this to test the woman to awaken faith in her. What did Jesus mean by the expression "throwing bread to the dogs"? The Jews often spoke of the Gentiles as "unclean dogs" since the Gentiles were excluded from God's covenant and favour with Israel. For the Greeks the "dog" was a symbol of dishonour and was used to describe a shameless and audacious woman. Jesus, I am sure spoke with a smile rather than with an insult because this woman immediately responds with great wit, faith and trust - “even the dogs eat the crumbs”. Jesus praises a Gentile woman for her faith and for her love. She made the suffering of her child her own and she was willing to suffer rejection in order to obtain healing for her loved one. Jesus demonstrated both the beauty and goodness of God in his actions. When Jesus approaches a man who is both deaf and a stutterer, Jesus shows his awareness for this man's predicament. Jesus takes him aside privately, not doubt to remove him from embarrassment with a noisy crowd of onlookers. Jesus then puts his fingers into the deaf man's ears and he touches the man's tongue with his own spittle to physically identify with this man's infirmity and to awaken faith in him. The people's response to this miracle witnesses to Jesus' great concern for others: “He has done all things well.” No problem or burden was too much for Jesus' careful consideration. Yours In Christ, Fr Robert

Hymn: Glorious things of you are spoken TiS 446
1. Glorious things of you are spoken, Zion, city of our God: he whose word cannot be broken formed you for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake your sure repose? With salvation’s walls surrounded, you may smile at all your foes.
3. Blest inhabitants of Zion, washed in their Redeemer’s blood: Jesus, whom their souls rely on, makes them kings and priests to God. For his love his people raises over self to reign as kings, and as priests, his solemn praises each for a thank-offering brings.
2. See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply your sons and daughters and all fear of want remove: who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage — grace, which like the Lord the giver never fails from age to age.
4. Saviour, since of Zion’s city I, through grace, a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name: fading are the worldlings’ pleasures, all their boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion’s children know. John Newton 1725–1807 alt. Music by permission Oxford University Press
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. 4
Sentence: So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. James 2.13 Prayer of Preparation: As we gather as God's people let us pray together: God of love and peace, you know what we think and feel. Touch our hearts that our thoughts and actions may be good so that we may love you and honour you, through Jesus 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. God of mercy and grace, we have sometimes thought wrong things, and done wrong things and we have not always loved each other as we should. We are sorry. Forgive us and help us to love and obey you, 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.

Gloria

Prayer of the Day Almighty and everlasting God, increase our faith, hope, and love, and, that we may receive all you promise, make us love what you command; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD First Reading: Proverbs 22.1-2, 8-9, 22-23 22 If you have to choose between a good reputation and great wealth, choose a good reputation. 2 The rich and the poor have this in common: the LORD made them both. 8 If you plant the seeds of injustice, disaster will spring up, and your oppression of others will end. 9 Be generous and share your food with the poor. You will be blessed for it. 22 Don't take advantage of the poor just because you can; don't take advantage of those who stand helpless in court. 23 The LORD will argue their case for them and threaten the life of anyone who threatens theirs. Response: Hear the word of the Lord, THANKS BE TO GOD

Second Reading: James 2.1-10, 14-17 2 1-7 Don’t ever attempt, my brothers, to combine snobbery with faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ! Suppose one man comes into your meeting well-dressed and with a gold ring on his finger, and another man, obviously poor, arrives in shabby clothes. If you pay special attention to the well-dressed man by saying, “Please sit here—it’s an excellent seat”, and say to the poor man, “You stand over there, please, or if you must sit, sit on the floor”, doesn’t that prove that you are making class-distinctions in your mind, and setting yourselves up to assess a man’s quality?—a very bad thing. For do notice, my brothers, that God chose poor men, whose only wealth was their faith, and made them heirs to the kingdom promised to those who love him. And if you behave as I have suggested, it is the poor man that you are insulting. Look around you. Isn’t it the rich who are always trying to “boss” you, isn’t it the rich who drag you into litigation? Isn’t it usually the rich who blaspheme the glorious name by which you are known? 8-10 If you obey the royal law, expressed by the scripture, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself’, all is well. But once you allow any invidious distinctions to creep in, you are sinning, you have broken God’s Law. Remember that a man who keeps the whole Law but for a single exception is none the less a law-breaker. 14-17 Now what use is it, my brothers, for a man to say he “has faith” if his actions do not correspond with it? Could that sort of faith save anyone’s soul? If a fellow man or woman has no clothes to wear and nothing to eat, and one of you say, “Good luck to you I hope you’ll keep warm and find enough to eat”, and yet give them nothing to meet their physical needs, what on earth is the good of that? Yet that is exactly what a bare faith without a corresponding life is like—useless and dead. Response: Hear the word of the Lord, THANKS BE TO GOD

Gradual Hymn: Judge eternal, throned in splendour NEH 490
Judge eternal, throned in splendour, Lord of lords and King of kings, with thy living fire of judgement purge this realm of bitter things; solace all its wide dominion with the healing of thy wings. Still the weary folk are pining for the hour that brings release, and the city's crowded clangour cries aloud for sin to cease; and the homesteads and the woodlands plead in silence for their peace. Crown, O God, thine own endeavour; cleave our darkness with thy sword; feed faithless and the hungry with the richness of thy word; cleanse the body of this nation through the glory of the Lord.
11
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 Mark chapter 7 beginning at the 24th verse.
24-27 Then
he got up and left that place and went off to the neighbourhood of Tyre. There he went into a house and wanted no one to know where he was. But it proved impossible to remain hidden. For no sooner had he got there, than a woman who had heard about him, and who had a daughter possessed by an evil spirit, arrived and prostrated herself before him. She was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she asked him to drive the evil spirit out of her daughter. Jesus said to her, “You must let the children have all they want first. It is not right, you know, to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.” 28 But she replied, “Yes, Lord, I know, but even the dogs under the table eat what the children leave.” 29 “If you can answer like that,” Jesus said to her, “you can go home! The evil spirit has left your daughter.” 30 And she went back home and found the child lying quietly on her bed, and the evil spirit gone. 31-34 Once more Jesus left the neighbourhood of Tyre and passed through Sidon towards the Lake of Galilee, and crossed the Ten Towns territory. They brought to him a man who was deaf and unable to speak intelligibly, and they implored him to put his hand upon him. Jesus took him away from the crowd by himself. He put his fingers in the man’s ears 12
and touched his tongue with his own saliva. Then, looking up to Heaven, he gave a deep sigh and said to him in Aramaic, “Open!” 35-37 And his ears were opened and immediately whatever had tied his tongue came loose and he spoke quite plainly. Jesus gave instructions that they should tell no one about this happening, but the more he told them, the more they broadcast the news. People were absolutely amazed, and kept saying, “How wonderful he has done everything! He even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.” Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord,

Offertory Hymn: Light’s abode, celestial Salem NEH 401
1. Light's abode, celestial Salem, Vision dear whence peace doth spring, Brighter than the heart can fancy, Mansion of the highest King; O, how glorious are the praises Which of thee the Prophets sing.
4. O how glorious and resplendent, Fragile body, shalt thou be, When endued with so much beauty, Full of health, and strong, and free, Full of vigour, full of pleasure That shall last eternally! 5. Now with gladness, now with courage, Bear the burden on thee laid, That hereafter these thy labours May with endless gifts be paid, And in everlasting glory Thou with joy may'st be arrayed.
2. There for ever and for ever Alleluia is outpoured; For unending, for unbroken Is the feast-day of the Lord; All is pure and all is holy That within thy walls is stored. 3. There no cloud nor passing vapour Dims the brightness of the air; Endless noon-day, glorious noon-day, From the Sun of suns is there; There no night brings rest from labour, There unknown are toil and care.
6. Laud and honour to the Father, Laud and honour to the Son, Laud and honour to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One, One in love, and One in splendour, While unending ages run.

Baptised Christians who receive Holy Communion in their own church are invited to share communion with us.

Or you may choose to receive the bread only as Holy Communion in one kind.

Final Hymn: And did those feet in ancient time NEH 488 And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountain green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land.

9.4 Parish Governance Act 2014. Dear Parishioners be advised of the change of eligibility rules for membership of the Parish Electoral Roll as of the 1st July 2014 as determined by the Melbourne Diocesan Synod: Without limiting other grounds on which a person may be taken to have regularly and habitually attended public worship in a worship centre in a parish, for the purposes of this section a person who has attended public worship at a worship centre 12 times in the preceding 12 months and three times in the preceding three months is considered to have regularly and habitually attended public worship at that worship centre. When the Parish Electoral Roll Committee meets in November the above criteria will have to be applied without fear or favour. In plain English if you have not attended a public worship service 12 times during the year and 3 times in the preceding months of the Annual Meeting in late November your name will have to be deleted from the Parish Electoral Roll and you will not be eligible to vote or speak unless invited at the Annual Meeting. Vicar and Parish Wardens

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 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’. 24
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 well-loved 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
