Page 2 THE ROYAL CROSS

FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Three years ago, I began this series of letters with a story about the light- a story about a candle Jesus had given me to hold, to maintain and to use— a story about the light of Christ. Today I wish to end my tenure on thesame note, but I want to talk about our candles — yours and mine, and the R;-,.way God is using us for the Church and the World.

God prepared me for many years to be your president. More importantly, 1once I accepted the responsibility. He guided and sustained me every step I." -.V'SL A vof the way. There was never any question what I was to do. There was never f.!-'any question what we were to do. We were to pray mightily for the Church jfy'"/*

God has given me another vision that continues that initial story. In it j v?I was taken upon a star and allowed to see the world from afar. At first all ij*-"'''I could see was darkness. Then I began to see a flicker of light here and there—finally I saw that all over the world there were candles radiating individually H|||Band in small clusters. The light from each candle cast a glow on others aroundit, and I could even evidence where one candle was lighting others. On

In the past few years, I begun to see what this part of the story is allabout. There is a lot of darkness surrounding us in the world and some of Elizabeth A. Hartit is growing heavy. Stress breeds stress — loneliness breeds loneliness —violence breeds violence. But I have had the opportunity to observe many candles. I have seen what clusters of candlescan do. I have visited chapters and dioceses where the candles bum brightly.

As an Order, we have been called to use our candles to pray for the Church and for the World. We are prayingespecially for the House of Bishops and for the Presiding Bishop and his staff. We are praying for our parishes andfor our clergy. We are praying for our cities and for our governments.

As an Order, we are trying to keep our candles shining brightly, especially using prayer to cast a light over others.More importantly we are asking others to join us in this endeavor. We are joining ranks with the Anglican Fellowshipof Prayer to make sure that the chapel at General Convention is filled with prayers under-girding the proceedings ofthose meetings. I hope you are asking your parishes to join us in a Prayer Vigil during the same time.

I don't think we truly fathom what that chorus of prayer can actually do. We tend to down play the effects ofhaving thousands of people interceding at the same time. Yet as our joumey continues, God is continually asking usto use our Rule of Life to intercede for the Church and for the World, showing us how we can use our clusters ofcandles to dispel the darkness.

I sometimes ask myself in moments of doubt, "Are these prayers working? Are the Church and the World in abetter place?" God answers me—through the knowledge that I know the end of the story, Satan has been defeated throughthe death and resurrection of Jesus Christ! From everlasting, we are just watching the defiant dying moments of thedarkness and the coming of a world into total Light.

I ask of you — in this day of pain and confusion in the Church — are we now being called to prepare ourselvesto be bearers of the Light of Christ? We are given that light through the grace of God, but we have to work to keepit burning brightly through study, through loving others, through being a servant, and through prayer. One of the thingsthat the National Council has begun to realize is that we have a study on being a member of the Chder of the Daughtersof the King, but we have no intentional study on what it means to a Christian. In order to keep our candles shiningbrightly, we have decided to rectify that omission by developing a study based on the Baptismal Covenant. We canuse it for ourselves and we can use it for others who want to study their faith. As an Order, we are concemed withspiritual information. Each of us is on a joumey. I hope that this study will enhance that joumey — in fact the preliminarytitle is "A Joumey Into Maturity."

In August, I will be ending one chapter in my joumey, but I will be beginning another. The Order will also bebeginning a new chapter with a new president. I know that God is guiding us in that transition. I also know that wemust continue to keep our candles burning brightly and that we must intensify our prayers for the Church and the World.As Daughters of the King, let us be beacons of light directed toward the Heavenly Kingdom. Thanks be to God. Amen.

LETTER FROM OUR CHAPLAI

"Praying Our Way to Indianapolis"

'^°P® Cross will be in your hands priorI . " to the beginning of The General Convention. In so noting, I bid your prayers forI i , j I f i Convention, the Church and the world. Such a bidding and request for yourI, ft k t I Jij intercession derives from three concerns.I - First, while the purpose and process of General Convention can be describedmk-i / in a variety of ways, theologically the Convention is a council of the Church gathered

• in prayer to discern God's will through the leading of the Holy Spirit. This theologicalI til J\ ̂ ̂ fact is sometimes overlooked given the myriad issues, resolutions and activities thatUj FA ' y characterize this triennial gathering of the Church. I ask you to pray for those who

i'jMJ ill i take such council that they might be open and present to one another through prayer,- ' worship, Bible study and the various plenary sessions of both the House of Deputies

^ I ill I& « and Bishops.Bishop Anderson ^ request brings me to a second and related concern. Please pray that the

evolving new format for General Convention, with its emphasis on prayer, small groupBible study and a more focused agenda, might lead to a new conciliar caring resulting in decisions that reflect the mindof Christ. The plaimers of this Convention are hopeful that we might do "less better." There is a further expectationthat framing our time together through prayer and an openness to God's revelation in Scripture will result in decisionsand direction for ministry that are faithful, principled and compassionate.

This second request serves to introduce a third concern. Many in the Church are concerned that this GeneralConvention will bring with it dissension and fragmentation owing to the various controversial issues that are beforethe Church and our society particularly those relating to human sexuality. Please pray that the two foregoing concernsmight lead the Convention as a prayerful council of the Church away from rancor and division to reconciliation andunity. Pray that the participants of this Convention might become an exemplary model of the Church as a communityof moral and theological discourse and dialogue.

I also ask for your presence and prayers at our triennial retreat and meeting at the Season's Lodge at Nashville,Indiana, August 19-24.1 bid your thanksgiving for the strong leadership and direction of the Order and the significantgrowth that we have experienced during the past triennium. Pray that our commitment to prayer and service will growand be a blessing in the next triennium. On this note and in this spirit, I conclude with a personal expression of gratitudefor each and every Daughter.

It has been my distinct pleasure and honor to serve as your chaplain for the past three years. Both in prayer andministry, I have received far more than I have given. Your focused and faithful ministry of prayer and service havemade an important difference in my ministry and in the mission of the larger Church. May God Bless You on yourcontinuing joumey.

TRIENNIAL NATIONAL RETREAT PRAYER

Father, here we are in your presence,giving You the praise and glory thatbelong to You only.

We ask that You pour out your blessingon the Triennial National Retreat

Christ, Jesus, speak to us, that ourmind, body and spirit may berefreshed, renewed and strengthenedto do Your will.

Your Daughters are gatheringof the Order of the Daughters of the King, to listen, learn and be loved by You.

As we quiet our minds, we listen for Lord, what would you have us do?the still, quiet voice of the Holy Spirit.

SUMMER 1994 ISSUE Page?

The May 1931 issue of The Roval Cross included an article which was written by Mrs. Margaret J. Franklin, founderand first president of the Daughters of the King. This article is being reprinted to tell in Mrs. Franklin's words aboutthe formation of the Alpha Chapter as an extension of a Bible Class whose purpose was "to stimulate its membersto greater activity and more earnest zeal for Christ and the Church." As history tells us, this leads to the very rapidformation of the Order of the Daughters of the King.

ORIGIN OF ALPHA CHAPTER AND ITS RELATION TO THE ORDER

By Mrs. Margaret J. Franklin, Ascension, 1894

Having so frequently been asked of late, what relation Alpha Chapter has home to the Order, and of the origin of the Order,1 ho-e give an outline of its history, the first part of which was published in the "Proceedings of the First Council."

One of the senior Bible classes for young ladies in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, New York City, had for its class name,"Daughters of the King." Desirous of stimulating its members to greater activity and more eamest zeal for Christ and the Church,their teacher called a meeting fen* the purpose of arousing their sympathy and interest, and to urge their cooperation as a class insome defined work and object for the parish. The result of the meeting was so encouraging and the spirit of enthusiasm so eamestfor greater activi^, that having obtained the rector's consent to their forming an association, a committee was appointed to selecta badge and motto, to be worn by the members as a sign of their membership and Christian obligations. After mature deliberationthe committee reported, and the badge and mottoes so well known to you all were selected.

At first the Daughters exerted their efforts for the extension of their own Bible class, and in orda* to render the Sunday schoolmore attractive to new comers, they secured, through united effort, a new Sunday school library. Members of the Sunday schoolwore oicouraged to say the Church Catechism, letter perfect, and in regular succession the Collects for the entire Church year. Thiswas done in order to stimulate attendance and to familiarize all with the Prayer Book.

So, quietly, for more than two years, the Daughters' influence was exited and soon became recognized in the parish. Thenfrom other classes and other fields came the request to wear the badge and join their efforts.

At this time the Rev. Mr. Kenyon was called to the parish, and it was decided aft^ consultation with him, to establish theOrdor on a pomanrat basis, and the Constitution and prayo-s as first issued by us, were then formulated and the name "Alpha Chapter"selected. Alpha Chapter, according to Article V of the Constitution then adopted, was to act in a two-fold capacity: (1) as a parochialchapter; (2) as the acting Council until fifty chapters should be formed.

As a parochial chapter, it had one set of officers; as the acting Council, it had another complete set. It also kept two distinctsets of minutes and accounts. Thus equipped. Alpha Chapter started forth on its mission for the extension of Christ's Kingdom,though their numbers were few and their resources were limited.

As a parochial chapter, it seemed so hard at first to carry out faithfully their rule of service, but by degrees what seemedalmost an impossibility at first, we realized after all meant simply "a single effort-an act or word-done with the sincere purposeto bring some woman nearer the Church." Realizing this, house to house visitations were made; cards were distributed inviting othersto the Church services; a pew was reserved in the church, to which young women were especially asked; the Girls' Friendly wasestablished; and these together with the Thanksgiving dinners to the poor and the distribution of gifts at Christmas to the differenthospitals, constituted the acts by which we tried to be true to the object of the Order and our mle of service.

Our growth was not apparent until 1889, when we were joined by six chapters. The work up to this time was bome solelyby Alpha Chapter through its monthly dues, upon which members were also dependent for their gifts as a parochial chapter.

In August of 1891, the fifty chapters required by the Constitution were formed but it being mid-summer, it was deemed bestnot to call the Council until Octobo*, as many were away on their summ^ rest. The first Council was convoied on November 5,1891, at St. Bartholomew's Church, New York City, at which time Alpha Chapter laid down its work as acting Council, havingissued over eigfiQr charters.

Such as its history. As I glance back today on this Feast of the Ascension which commemorates also the time when my littleband started forth with untrained and unskilled ̂ gers to plant the seeds for our Father's Kingdom, it is with a heart full of gratitudeand thankfulness to Him who has permitted your efforts "For His Sake" to be blessed so abundantly.

RETREATS AND ASSEMBLIES

Diocese of Southeast Florida

Annual Retreat

March, 1994The diocese of Southeast Florida held its annual retreat at Duncan Conference Center, Delray Beach, in March. TTie

theme for the silent retreat was "The Journey of the Heart" with several speakers.

Sixty daughters attended representing sixteen churches in the diocese. Special guest was Peggy Stoutenburg, Province4 president.

Prayer and Talent

The combined gifts of Bettina Tysklind(Mother Teresa Chapter, Elk Rapids, MI) cametogether to create a magnificent bronze figureof our Lord. To walk into Christ the KingChurch in Acme is to be overwhelmed by aneight foot figure of Christ that beckons and says"Come To Me". Those words were the words

that Bettina repeated over and over as she worked.Her love for the Lord is reflected in it and the

Holy Spirit was at work using her hands andmind. The figure is not a suffering Christ onthe cross but has a flowing stole culminatingin the replica of the world at the base of thestatue. Its message is that Christ is the "Kingof the Universe".

HIGHLIGHTS OF COUNCIL MEETING

Plans for the National Retreat were fmalized.

The Self Denial stipend for The Rev. Ben Tyon of PineRidge Reservation will be continued for another year.

Determination made that the logo of the Order cannotbe used under any circumstances for sale or profit withoutwritten permission of the National Council through theLiterature Chair.

The Master's Fund committee is establishing a limited

number of short-term grants for training inlay ministry.

The Evangelism Committee will develop guidelines forworldwide chapter development.

Our booth at General Convention will reflect the theme

"Women joining hands in prayer around the World."

A new study will be developed especially for Daughters, based on the Baptismal Covenant.

The Daughters of the King, Diocese of Florida, now possesses a beautiful banner crafted by the loving handsof Mrs. Beryl Rouse, past president of the Bishop Weed Chapter, St. Philip's Church, Jacksonville, Florida. Her talentedsewing and needlepoint were a loving gift to the Glory of God and to the Daughters. Beryl selected the material andcompleted the work during the past few months as she prepared to leave with her daughter and family to live in PuertoRico. Wherever the Navy travels or the family took her. Beryl sought out a Chapter of Daughters of the King. If onewere not available, she established one, or six as she did in Norfolk, Virginia! Beryl has led many women to a closerwalk with our Lord through membership in our Order.

The Diocese of Florida will forever honor Beryl for her achievements and for the loving devotion with whichshe created our splendid baimer. How proud we were that this banner, carried by Beryl, was the only banner in theprocession for the consecration of the Right Reverend Stephen H. Jecko to be the Seventh Bishop of Florida. You willbe able to see our barmer at Triennial and again at the Assembly for Province 4 at Kanuga.
