Hello Everyone. Here are the prayers from the presentation by the Reverend Alvaro Araica:
O DIO che hai fatto d'un sol sangue tutte le nazioni degli uomini per abitar sulla faccia della terra, e che hai mandato il tuo benedetto Figliuolo a predicar loro la pace ai vicini ed ai lontani, concedi, te ne preghiamo, che tutti da per ogni dove ti cerchino e ti trovino. Adducili, o Signore, nella tua greggia, aggiungi i gentili alla tua eredita. Ed ancora ti preghiamo che tosto si compia il numero dei tuoi eletti, e d'affrettare il tuo eterno regno per lo stesso Gesu Cristo nostro Signore. Amen.
Omnipotente Dios, tu enviaste a tu Hijo Jesucristo a reconciliar al mundo contigo: Te alabamos y te bendecimos por los que has enviado en el poder del Espiritu a predicar el Evangelio a todas las naciones.
Te damos gracias porque en todas partes del mundo se ha reunido una comunidad de amor por medio de sus oraciones y labores, y porque en todo lugar tus siervos invocan tu santo Nombre. Oh Senor, tuyo es el reino, el poder y la gloria por siempre jamas. Amen.
Omnipotens Deus, qui Filium tuum Iesum Christum misisti ut tibi mundum reconciliet: Laudamus et benedicimus te propter illos a te missos in virtute Spiritus ad Evangelium praedicandum ad omnes gentes. Tibi gratias agimus quoniam in omnibus partibus orbis terrarum societas caritatis per orationes eorum laboresque congregata est, et in omni loco famuli tui nomen tuum invocant; quia tuum est regnum, et potestas, et gloria in saecula. Amen.
Almighty God, you sent your Son Jesus Christ to reconcile the world to yourself: We praise and bless you for those whom you have sent in the power of the Spirit to preach the Gospel to all nations. We thank you that in all parts of the earth a community of love has been gathered together by their prayers and labors, and that in every place your servants call upon your Name; for the kingdom and the power and the glory are yours for ever. Amen.
My apologies for the absence of accents. I could not figure out how to change the font on this site.

I'm impressed with a lot of things in Bosch's book and glad to be reading it . In the Matthew section, his idea that this Gospel is held together by the notion of mission to Jews and Gentiles accords well with his idea of the historical situation, and his idea that Christians find their true identity when involved in mission, communicating to others and committing themselves to liberation and salvation, is compelling. I don't yet see clearly what it means for me and my own church, but I sense that the direction is the right one to be thinking about.
This is the weblog site for Seabury's History 668: Mission in the Anglican Communion, a bibilical, historical, and theological study of mission in the Anglican Communion with attention to Anglican missionary movements, shifting paradigms in our understanding of mission - particularly within ECUSA, and the challenge to the Chirstian mission today in a pluralistic and multi-cultural society.
