Jesus, a prolific spiritual healer who cast out many demons in the name of the Kingdom of God, was not without his detractors either. His healings on the Sabbath were some of the primary evidence used against him leading up to his crucifixion. Even his disciples did not always understand his methods and could not perform exorcisms at times (Mk. 9:14-29). Thus, it is unsurprising that at different times in the last 2000 years, the use of the Rite has ebbed and flowed—almost reaching a fever-pitch at times, while sinking into obscurity at others. In the Episcopal tradition, exorcisms as an active ministry of the modern church can be feared, ignored, or scoffed at. Some of the disuse of the Rites of Exorcism are rightly due to the fact that we understand much more about the mental and physical health of humans than we did in ancient times. What many used to attribute to demonic forces can now be more widely understood as mental illness. Thus, many Episcopalians do not even know that there are provisions for exorcisms in our tradition: They assume those ritual acts of spiritual healing fall into the “primitive” past, when people did not have an understanding of mental illness. Even today, Native Americans suffer from a similar stereotype, viewed condescendingly as “savage,” with their spiritual healing practices dismissed. This pattern is especially true in the Anglican/Episcopal tradition, which has followed a similar journey as the Roman Catholic liturgical tradition, as well as the Protestant Enlightenment and the Charismatic Renewal Movement. One might expect that our current culture, saturated by enlightenment thinking, with its emphasis on all things rational and empirically proven data, would be poised to abandon it altogether. Yet, the data show that the desire for exorcisms and the belief in spiritual phenomena, including evil possession, is rising. This article will examine some of the reasons exorcisms have been repressed in the past and the lessons we should use to shape our current use of the rite of exorcisms. Pulling from the authors own research (including interviews with several Episcopal Exorcists and traditional Ojibwe healers) and experience as an Episcopal Priest and member of The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa, this paper explores trauma informed and Native American models for spiritual healing as examples of how the church might use exorcisms in its current cultural milieu.","PeriodicalId":8051,"journal":{"name":"Anglican theological review","volume":"34 30","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141800616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is the relationship between theology and law as understood in the Episcopal Church/Anglicanism.

I contend that the discourse on abortion (within the Church, and the body politic) would benefit from a more comprehensive understanding of the law.

The second is between people such as myself, an Episcopalian lay leader in my church and supporter of a person’s right to choose an abortion, and the original followers of Jesus, who employed a ministry of action based around embracing all humanity in a drive to create a more equitable world and physically show love and acceptance to those struggling under secular domination and oppression.","PeriodicalId":8051,"journal":{"name":"Anglican theological review","volume":" 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141370958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the cohesive forces has been the Inter Anglican Liturgical Consultation, IALC, which has now been meeting for almost fifty years. This article looks at the operation of the IALC using network and visualization theory, a growing approach to Anglican Communion studies. What is the history of this network and its place in the communion? Who comes to the meetings and from which provinces? Has there been a discernible impact? These are some of the questions discussed along with the question of representation. The IALC appears to have been more influential than it might seem at first sight and there are discernible fingerprints in the liturgical texts of the communion.","PeriodicalId":8051,"journal":{"name":"Anglican theological review","volume":"32 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141112149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
