Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church (Fort Worth, Texas)
St. Andrew's Anglican Church is a parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth in the Anglican Church in North America. Established as a mission church in 1875, it is the oldest continuous Episcopal/Anglican presence in Fort Worth. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, it played a role in the Anglican realignment in North America. History While Bishop Alexander Gregg held the first Episcopal church service on record in Fort Worth in 1860, no parish was established until 1875. Alexander Charles Garrett, the Episcopal Church's missionary bishop of northern Texas, visited his new missionary district and organized the mission under the Rev. Edwin Wickens. Garrett's first services were held in the Tarrant County courthouse on March 17, 1875. Garrett raised funds for the Texas missions from northeastern Episcopalians; a Connecticut clergyman who heard Garrett's pitch during a train ride agreed to commit $500 to the Fort Worth congregation and asked that it be named for Andrew t ...

Prior to 2009, these conservative Anglicans had begun to receive support from a number of Anglican churches (or provinces) outside of North America, especially in the Global South.

Blessing Of Same-sex Unions In Christian Churches
The blessing or wedding of same-sex marriages and same-sex unions is an issue about which Christian churches are in ongoing disagreement. Traditionally, Christianity teaches that homosexual acts are sinful and that holy matrimony can only exist between two persons of the opposite sex. These disagreements are primarily centered on the interpretation of various scripture passages related to homosexuality, sacred Tradition, and in some churches on varying understandings of homosexuality in terms of psychology, genetics and other scientific data. While various Church bodies have widely varying practices and teachings, individual Christians of every major tradition are involved in practical (orthopraxy) discussions about how to respond to the issue.

Rood Screen
The rood screen (also choir screen, chancel screen, or jubé) is a common feature in late medieval church architecture. It is typically an ornate partition between the chancel and nave, of more or less open tracery constructed of wood, stone, or wrought iron. The rood screen would originally have been surmounted by a rood loft carrying the Great Rood, a sculptural representation of the Crucifixion. In English, Scottish, and Welsh cathedrals, monastic, and collegiate churches, there were commonly two transverse screens, with a rood screen or rood beam located one bay west of the pulpitum screen, but this double arrangement nowhere survives complete, and accordingly the preserved pulpitum in such churches is sometimes referred to as a rood screen. At Wells Cathedral the medieval arrangement was restored in the 20th century, with the medieval strainer arch supporting a rood, placed in front of the pulpitum and organ. Rood screens can be found in churches in many parts of Europe, h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dolomite (rock)
Dolomite (also known as dolomite rock, dolostone or dolomitic rock) is a sedimentary carbonate rock that contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite, CaMg(CO3)2. It occurs widely, often in association with limestone and evaporites, though it is less abundant than limestone and rare in Cenozoic rock beds (beds less than about 66 million years in age). The first geologist to distinguish dolomite rock from limestone was Belsazar Hacquet in 1778. Most dolomite was formed as a magnesium replacement of limestone or of lime mud before lithification. The geological process of conversion of calcite to dolomite is known as dolomitization and any intermediate product is known as dolomitic limestone. The "dolomite problem" refers to the vast worldwide depositions of dolomite in the past geologic record in contrast to the limited amounts of dolomite formed in modern times. Recent research has revealed sulfate-reducing bacteria living in anoxic conditions precipitate dolomite which ind ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
