The Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ6 August 2017

11 a.m. Choral Eucharist

“Transfiguration” by contemporary artist Lewis Bowman.

• If you are new to Grace Cathedral, please introduce yourself and fill out a welcome card so we can be in touch with you. We’re glad you’re here!

• Join us for coffee and conversation across the plaza in the Chapter House Library after the 8:30 a.m. service or in the Dining Room after the 11 a.m. service.

Welcome to this sacred house of prayer for all people. Those who built this place and care for it love tradition and feel passionate about engaging with what is new. If you look closely you will find images of scientists, reformers, Jewish rabbis and Roman Catholic popes, political leaders, saints, and even an astronaut.We invite you to be part of this joyful community even if your visit is short. You might ask yourself two questions: “What do I need to receive? What do I have to give?” We would be delighted to hear about your explorations. May God bless you on your journey!

– The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral

about today’s readingsExodus 34:29-35; Luke 9:28-36; 2 Peter 1:13-21

Reading texts can be found at the end of the service leaflet.

The Transfiguration as a feast day was first observed by the desert monks of the ancient Christian East and later embraced by the West. Here in the Western Christian tradition, with our reminders of human weakness and the need for redemption, we welcome this Eastern Christian emphasis on affirming the reality of transfiguration and divinization of all that is human, which cannot stay hidden even in the face of evil and death. Our life need not be spent only tiptoeing through a minefield, careful to avoid evil. What if it were a search for hidden radiance, glimpses of the divine, hidden gifts of grace, hidden chances for transformation and renewal?

We also celebrate the Transfiguration on the last Sunday after the Epiphany, with the real possibility of glory established before the Lenten journey to Easter. It occurs about forty days before Good Friday, when the glory of the Crucified One shines even from the cross. Similarly, today’s celebration comes forty days before September 14, the Feast of the Holy Cross. This balance is appropriately observed at the spring and autumnal equinoxes, with the balancing of daytime and nighttime.

Worldly powers cannot tolerate this possibility of transfigurative light shining through our humanity. The Roman occupying power and their collaborators killed Jesus. On this day in 1945, the United States dropped the first atomic bombs ever used on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Still today, from the halls of power, tens of thousands around the globe are bombed and shelled, or left to die from starvation and curable diseases.

The Transfiguration mystery upholds our call to radiant transformation into God-like-ness, even in the face of a culture of death.

This reflection was written by The Rev. Mark E. Stanger, Canon for Formation.

All Amen.

The Nicene Creed The people stand.

All We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven:

by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Prayers of the People

After each petition Lord, hear our prayer. The presider adds a concluding collect.

The Peace

Presider The peace of Christ be always with you. All And also with you. All may greet each other in the name of Christ.

Anthem Larry King

Choir Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain where they could be alone. There in their presence he was transfigured, his face shone as the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them. A bright cloud covered them with a shadow, and from the cloud there came a voice which said: "This is my Son, the chosen one: listen to him." -The Gospels

The people stand as representatives of the congregation bring the people’s offerings of bread, wine, and money to be placed on the Altar.

Invitation to Communion

The presider invites the people to come forward for Communion. All who seek God and are drawn to Christ are welcome at God’s table.

Gluten-free Communion wafers are available at the north altar rail; please ask the Communion minister. For a variety of reasons, it is our custom to consume the Bread and sip the Wine directly from the cup.

You are invited to guide the cup with your hands. If you choose not to receive either the Bread or the Wine, simply cross your arms over your chest and respond “A men” when it is presented.

Ministers are available for shared prayer for healing in the Chapel of Grace on the south (street) side of the Cathedral.

Agnus Dei Bairstow

Choir Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: grant us peace.

Motet Sung in Latin. Thomas Tallis

Choir O Light of light, by love inclined, Jesu, Redeemer of mankind, with loving kindness deign to hear from suppliant voices praise and prayer. Thou who to raise our souls from hell didst deign in fleshly form to dwell, vouchsafe us, when our race is run, in thy fair Body to be one. Office hymn for Lauds on the Feast of the Transfiguration

Postcommunion Prayer After all have received Communion, the people stand.

Presider Let us pray. All Dear God, you come to us as gift—as a vulnerable child,

a peace-making teacher, a crucified trouble-maker. Thank you for this beleaguered and beautiful planet,

for the gift of communion with all creation.

The Readings

Exodus 34:29-35

Moses came down from Mount Sinai. As he came down from the mountain with the two tablets of

the covenant in his hand, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face was shining, and they were afraid to come near him. But Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke with them. Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face; but whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he would take the veil off, until he came out; and when he came out, and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, the Israelites would see the face of Moses, that the skin of his face was shining; and Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

2 Peter 1:13-21

I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to refresh your memory, since I know that my death will come

soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things. For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the

Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven, while we were with him on the holy mountain. So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by human will, but men and women moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

Luke 9:28-36

Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And while he was

praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him. They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but since they had stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said. While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud. Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!” When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in those days told no one any of the things they had seen.

Grace Cathedral is both our home and a treasure. To keep it beautiful requires maintenance and renovation. Here is more information on two projects that are underway.

Restoring the north-facing Quire windows: Our stained glass windows are one of our most renowned treasures. We began a program of restoring them in 2015, after a very generous and unassuming member of our community left us resources specifically for the maintenance of the cathedral. The South and North Transcept windows have been beautifully restored and now it is the turn of the north-facing windows in the Quire. The interior scaffolding will be removed around August 10. When it is gone, you

will see “placeholder” amber glass in the five North Quire windows for the next year while our stained glass windows are restored off-site. The exterior scaffolding will remain in place, wrapped, until August of 2018; that is when the restored stained glass will be re-installed. While the exterior scaffolding is not eye-pleasing, keeping it in place, rather than taking it down now and re-erecting it in a year, is a huge cost-savings that represents conscientious stewardship of the gracious bequest for cathedral maintenance.

AIDS Memorial Interfaith Chapel: The AIDS Chapel is closed and will reopen in early fall. Keith Haring’s triptych altarpiece, “The Life of Christ” (1990), is now located in the niche inside the Ghiberti doors for viewing during the closure. Stay tuned for more information on our AIDS Quilts exhibit this fall and rededication of our chapel on World AIDS Day, December 1.
