Sunday, July 20 THE TENTH
SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
It's the Tenth
Sunday after Pentecost and all are welcome. In some churches the
Feast of Saint
John Coltrane IS
observed Thursday, July 17th. St.
John's African Orthodox Church in
San Francisco regards John Coltrane as its "patron saint."
While this Day does not fall within the Episcopal Church Year
calendar as a festival to be observed, the African Orthodox Church
honors Saint John Coltrane. The African Orthodox Church owes its
Episcopate and Apostolic Authority to the Syrian Church of Antioch
where the disciples were first called Christians. St. Peter and St.
Barnabas resided in Antioch before setting out on their great
missionary journeys, and St. Peter was the first Bishop there. Saint
John's music provided a form of ecstasy or catharsis transcending the
limitations, dreariness, and desperation of ordinary existence. John
Coltrane entered into eternal rest July 17th 1967 forty One years ago. On
the Episcopal calendar July 17th
is set apart for Blessed
William White, Bishop of
Pennsylvania, 1836, his close association with Absolom Jones is a
matter of Black church history. Also Today July
20th the Episcopal
Church Year calendar sets this day apart to honor four women among
them; Sojourner Truth
known as "the Miriam of the Latter
Exodus" and Harriet Ross
Tubman known as "the
Moses of her People."
