Blessing of Oils: This year there will be three locations for the Blessing of Oils on Maundy Thursday, March 20 (at varying times). Please note the specific information as it relates to each location:

a) All Saints’ Windsor The service will be at 12:00 noon and will be a service of Blessing of Oils and Renewal of Clergy Vows.

Celebrant: Bishop Jack Peck; Homilist: The Rev. Deacon Liz Chaplin:

Who should attend: Clergy and lay representatives, especially those who offer particular support for the church's ministry of reconciliation, healing and pastoral care, those who administer the reserved sacrament, or those wishing to receive the ministry of healing through the laying on of hands and anointing with oil. The Ministry of Healing: The St. Luke's Group of All Saints’ will join us for this service and lunch. This parish ministry serves people who may need special assistance in attending services of worship (and thereby often cannot attend regular services of worship), and those who desire to receive the ministry of healing. The ministry of healing through the laying on of hands and anointing of oil will be offered at this service for those who desire, in conjunction with the time of communion, to be administered at the side chapel. We encourage you to invite people from your parish to attend and participate that may be interested and who may benefit. Once again, RSVP for lunch would be helpful. Special arrangements will be made to accommodate parking for this service at the Casino Parking Garage across the street from All Saints' on the north east corner of McDougall and University Ave. If need be passengers can be dropped off at the church on University Ave. by the Civic Square Park before proceeding to the parking garage. There is additional parking around the church and just to the south of Windsor City Hall and across from the arena on McDougall but space is sometimes at a premium during the weekday in these locations. For those that require it, All Saints' Church is fully wheel chair accessible and access to the church is on a level grade from two entrances adjacent to the Parish Hall. There is a lavatory that is accessible as well adjacent to the sanctuary.

If you are unable to attend the service and wish to have Oils set aside for your church please contact our Rector, Canon Kim Van Allen, and this will be accommodated. (kim.vanallen@sympatico.ca).

Preparation for the Blessing of Oils: You may bring either clean empty vessels that we will fill or vessels that are already filled with oil stock (prefer the latter especially if you want a significant quantity of oil); marked with the name of the parish and marked for either chrism (baptism) or unction (healing.) As you arrive in the sanctuary, please place the vessels on the clearly marked tables for each purpose, either chrism or unction, at the chancel crossing in front of the altar. You may retrieve your own vessels after the service. Empty vessels will be filled and retrieved after the service.

Lunch is provided for those who can stay. (A donation will be requested) Please RSVP by either e-mail or phone to All Saints so that we have sufficient food! E-mail: allsaints1@bellnet.ca; PH: 519-253-8001.

4. From the office of Dr. Ramona Lumpkin, Principal:I’m delighted to announce the appointment of the Reverend Dr. William Danaher, Jr., as the next Dean of the Faculty of Theology at Huron University College, effective July 1, 2008. Dr. Danaher was awarded the A.B. degree in history from Brown University, the M.Div. (cum laude) from the Protestant Episcopal Seminary in Virginia, and the M.A., M.Phil., and PhD (Religious Ethics) from Yale (2002). Ordained an Episcopal priest in the Diocese of Connecticut in 1996, he served as curate in Grace Church, New York City, assisted at Christ Church, New Haven, and was assistant chaplain at the Episcopal Church at Yale from 1994-1997. While at The University of the South, he assisted at All Saints’ Chapel and served other local parishes. Dr. Danaher has held the positions of Assistant Professor and Associate Professor in the School of Theology, University of the South, in Sewanee, Tennessee. He is currently Associate Professor of Christian Ethics and Moral Theology in the John Henry Hobart Chair at The General Theological Seminary in New York. Dr. Danaher’s first book, The Trinitarian Ethics of Jonathan Edwards, was published by Westminster/John Knox Press in 2004. Published essays and articles include: “‘Laces Just Right’: Frank Griswold and the Ethics of Reconciliation” in I have Called You Friends: Reflections on Reconciliation in Honor of Frank Griswold (Cowley Publications, 2006); “Renewing the Anglican Moral Vision: What Called to Common Mission Offers Anglican Moral Theology” (Anglican Theological Review, winter 2005); “The Politics of Repentance” (Sewanee Magazine, July 2004); and “Pacifism, Just War, and the Limits of Ethics” (Journal of Lutheran Ethics, April 2003). In 2004, Dr. Danaher became a member in residence at the Center of Theological Inquiry (CTI) located in Princeton, New Jersey, which is affiliated with Princeton Theological Seminary. The purpose of CTI is to provide a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment for scholars working in the field of religion. Also in 2004, he received the John Hines Preaching Award, a national award given by Virginia Theological Seminary that recognizes sermons grounded in Scripture and focused on issues of social justice. With the support of a grant from the Seminary Council on Mission (SCOM), in 2006 Dr. Danaher led an inter-racial group of seminarians from Sewanee on a trip to South Africa to expand their understanding of reconciliation and restorative justice through the work of the church in that country. We look forward to having Dr. Danaher join the faculty of Huron University College and assume a role of leadership within the Faculty of Theology.

Please pray for all who are in transition at this time.
