This NOTEBOOK page gets restored to the web. Thanks be to God!
*** 2000.10.14 ***
* Bp. David Strong of Seattle, Washington ordains Deacon Robert
Withrow to the priesthood in Tacoma, Washington.
*** 2000.10.12 ***
Leland Lannoye reposts the entire collection of defamatory lies
and half-truths from CJ3's web site onto his own. What a truly
evil man Lannoye is!
*** 2000.09.27 ***
CJ3 and Victor Prentice try *again* to shut down this lawful web site,
and manage to temporarily get 4 pages blocked (notebook.html,
articles.html, people_jkl.html, etc.). Shame on you two!
CJ3's registration for both "CEC" and "Continuing Episcopal Church" have
been denied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office according to a
published report by noted copyright attorney Dr. John Berryhill of
Philadelphia. This official decision vindicates all those autocephalous-
movement churches who have been harrassed by CJ3 on the pretext of this
"issue".
*** 2000.09.21 ***
* Bp. Christopher Reynolds, OSBM, 48, of New York City, passed away. It
has been reported that his cremains will be placed in the
Columbarium of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine where he had been
artist in residence for many years.
*** 2000.09.13 ***
This web site went back on the air (again).
***2000.09.03***
* Holy Trinity Community Church, a 24-year old independent-movement
parish in Dallas, Texas, with its own building (mortgage long since paid
off) held its last liturgy. Many of the pastors over the years --
including interim co-pastors Fran and Tony Begonja -- were present.
*** 2000.08.24 ? ***
* CJ3 went on a binge posting malicious postings to Fr. Harvey Beagle's
ind-catholic mailing list as well as defaming dozens of independent-
movement clergy.
*** 2000.08.17 ***
Fran and I travelled to New Jersey and I presided at her nephew's wedding
Mass. More than a hundred folks attended.
*** 2000.06.22 ***
This web site went back off the air (again).
*** 2000.06.15 ***
This web site went preliminarily back on the air.
* Bp. Christopher Reynolds, of New York City, is in poor health, but has
announced plans to consecrate Fr. Robert Newman later this month in New
York City.
*** 2000.06.09 - 2000.06.11
Had been in the Bay Area, California, all week attending a class for my
secular work. Decided to visit folks over the weekend. On Friday I got
to visit both with my publisher, and with Roman Catholic pastoral
theologian and fellow author, Joseph Stallings, in San Jose. Turns out
that Joe Stallings was partly familiar with the independent-movement and
personally knows both Dr. Vredenburgh and Bp. Jack.
* On Saturday I briefly visited Bp. Donald Weeks in Oakland. I was
impressed with his ministry: he and his fellow labourers run a men's
shelter in Oakland. Their building also has both a chapel and quarters
for Bp. Weeks and other staffers.
* Pentecost Sunday was a double-header of grace. I started the day by
concelebrating the Divine Liturgy at St. Mary of Magdala Pro-Cathedral/
MTOCOI in Fresno with Bp. Veron Ashe and his priests and deacons.
Awesome liturgy -- fine example of what can be done to integrate
liturgical worship with use of the charismata in a multi-cultural
pastoral environment. (Heavy on the incense.) Beautiful worship space.
We did lunch afterwards at Macaroni Grill; they like to party, too. I
then drove from Fresno to Santa Cruz and was able to visit for a bit with
Dr. "Papa Joe" and Virginia Vrendenburgh in Santa Cruz. I had heard a lot
about them over the years and was finally able to meet them in person.
*** 2000.06.04 ***
Rev. Fran and I flew to Seattle to hang out for the weekend with Bp.
David Strong (Diocese of the Holy Cross/MTOCOI, formerly the ACCA). On
Saturday, Bp. Strong ordained Bob W. of Tacoma to the transitional
diaconate; Bob's ministry is pastoring St. Aelred's faith community in
Tacoma. On Sunday we all concelebrated the Divine Liturgy at Bp. David's
community, Holy Cross, in Seattle.
* During the weekend we also got to watch professionally produced videos
of two charismatic-liturgical "convergence" liturgies celebrated at Imago
Dei in Denver. In one, Bp. Veron Ashe of Fresno, preached and presided.
In the other, Bp. Strong preached and co-presided.
* On Sunday, we got to briefly visit at Seattle U. with Deacon Lyn Goetz
of the CEEC. The three us of had attended together the two-year ICM
"Formation for Healing Ministry" program in the Seattle area.
* Meanwhile, back in Dallas, the board of Holy Trinity formally named
Rev. Fran and I interim co-pastors.
*** 2000.05.07 ***
A double header of grace: attended both the Roman first holy communion of
one of my nephews in New Jersey, and fully initiated (baptism,
chrismation, first eucharist) my newborn twin nephews, also in New
Jersey.
*** 2000.04.20 ? ***
For the second year in a row, I preside at a Holy Thursday celebration of
the Lord's Pesach (Messianic Seder) at Holy Trinity. Folks learned lots
about the origin of the Eucharist and the Church.
*** 2000.02.06 ***
This web site became temporarily unavailable due to malicious
interference from the independent-movement's baddest apple, CJ3.
*** 2000.01.28 ? ***
* Seminarian Scott Wilson of Tuscon, Arizona files civil suit against CJ3
for malicious libel and interference in the operation of a lawful church
website.
*** 1999.12.16 ? ***
Got to hang out at "the corner" and do street ministry one evening in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my Roman buddies, Frs. Mike Sullivan and Bob
Wheelock of Franciscan Peacemakers. How they wish we were back in
Wisconsin so Rev. Fran could labor with them again!
*** 1999.12.10 ? ***
Rev. Fran and I journeyed to Springfield, Mass. to concelebrate in the
consecration of Bp. David Billings. Bp. Dominic Biltcliffe presided and
served as primary consecrator. Bp. David Strong of Seattle served as one
of the co-consecrators. Bps. Richard Cardarelli and Bp. Richard Roy,
OSJD, attended.
*** 1999.11.23 ? ***
I concelebrated with Bp. Ray Kelly and Fr. Tony Santore at CACINA's Holy
Trinity Pro-Cathedral parish in Reston, Virginia. It's nice to see an
autocephalous-movement liturgy with 60+ folks in attendance.
*** 1999.09 - 2000.01 ***
* CJ3 attacks the lawful web sites of several independent-movement
jurisdictions, including the Charismatic Episcopal Church and the
Antiochian Catholic Church of America.
