ON THE COVER

Nashotah House’s legacy of Christian service is seen here as Wayne Stolpa’s �eld education assignment led him to serving in Uganda, where he preached

regularly to schoolchildren. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 reminds us we are to help the

other up should we fall down, whether in local community or in distant lands.

1NASHOTAH.EDU THE MISSIONERMICHAELMAS 2015

The theme for this issue of THE MISSIONER – Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!” – has been much on my mind as the new school

year gets underway. Indeed, it turned my mind to the saying attributed to the Greek soldier-poet Archilochus, “The fox devises many strategies; the hedgehog knows one great and effective strategy.” When I think of Nashotah House and its history we are, in so many ways, more hedgehog than we are fox. At the root of the “one great and effective strategy” that has driven this place is the stress on community.

It was James Lloyd Breck’s vision from the outset that Nashotah House was to be a community. His brother, reflecting on his life, commented, “The root idea of Nashotah . . . was that of a Religious House, conducted on some approximation to the principles of a Religious Order . . .It was the actual asceticism of the working system of Nashotah, which struck the sensitive chords of the Church’s heart . . .the like of which our American Church had never known before.” Breck’s desire was that a community be formed, one living a disciplined life reaching inward so that it could, in turn, reach outward. Ministers grounded in the Gospel, the Tradition, and the practice of the “faith once delivered to the saints,” could take on the frontier with confidence. The physical terrain may have changed, but the real frontier – the wilderness of the human heart – remains, and still beckons.

The House continues, in hedgehog fashion, to practice its “one great and effective strategy,” being a community of formation. Our students leave us, grounded in the great teachings of the Scripture and the Church, ready to form communities, because they have been formed in one. Robert K. Greenleaf may have coined the term “servant leadership,” but Nashotah House has been in the business of forming servant leaders for 174 years. Thus, in a world hungry for community and intimacy, sons and daughters of the House are ready to speak a word of hope and to lift others up. Our time, and the state of the Church, is not unlike that of Saint Benedict. His vision of the “school of the Lord’s service” articulated in his RULE still works; just as it worked when Breck and his companions came out the shores of Upper Nashotah Lake, and works for the entering class of 2018. If you visit Nashotah House, and we do hope you will, and join us for a meal, you’ll see students serving one another at table. You’ll also see faculty, staff, and administrators taking their turns, too. The refectory service and weekly work crew are only part of the practice of community; it extends to the Chapel of Saint Mary, and to the way life is shared on campus. Everyone who visits us comments on the community service, yet it’s just the practice of everyday life at the House. So much so, that we don’t even think about it, until someone brings it to our attention; that’s formation and it’s the “one great effective strategy” the House follows as we seek to lift one another up.

Let me offer another example of community and the House. A year ago there was a need for someone to lead the Department of Institutional Advancement. One of our soon-to-be-graduating students, who had shown a gift for fund-raising, came to the fore. The Reverend Noah Lawson ’14, took over as Director of the Annual Fund and has modeled the tradition of servant leadership in so very many ways. Over time it became clear that the House needed a different direction and someone

with a different, and more experienced, skillset to oversee the Institutional Advancement work. Fr. Lawson has graciously stepped aside so that the necessary development work might proceed appropriately. We are grateful for his service, and for his devotion to the House.

I am pleased to announce that the House has found the person who can lead our Institutional Advancement department -- Diane Simons Plantenberg. Mrs. Plantenberg comes with a great deal of experience and a proven track record as a fund raiser, having led Alverno College in a successful $45.5 million comprehensive campaign. She understands and is enthusiastic about Nashotah House, its history, its mission, and its future. I am confident that Diane will do a fine job as our Associate Dean for Institutional Advancement.

Nashotah House is a hedgehog. It has its “one great effective strategy” and it lives by it. This hedgehog on Upper Nashotah Lake has been at work to transform the Church and the world – one student, one priest, one parish at a time since 1842. It is possible because “two are better than one.” Will you join us in the work? Will you reach out to lift others up? There is a good reward for the toil! I remain:

Yours in the Lord’s service,

ost who are reading this are probably Americans—residents and citizens of the United States. You know—

the land of the free. School children of my generation were imbued with the narrative that our country was founded on the principle of individual liberty. It was the doctrinal bedrock of our civil religion. The Horatio Alger myth is still embedded in the American psyche.

The Christian tradition in which I was raised—free church evangelicalism with, in my case, a Baptist label—was, perhaps unconsciously, a American institution. We saw ourselves as much counter-cultural in our identity, but the way we understood the gospel was in radically individualistic terms. I was personally born a sinner, and personally subject to the consequences of my sinful state unless I personally turned to Christ and accepted him as my personal savior. It didn’t matter that I lived in an ostensibly Christian nation, or who my family was, or that I attended a Bible-believing church. What mattered was my personal relationship with God in Christ, and I was individually responsible for exercising saving faith and doing what was required to grow into spiritual maturity.

When, by coming under the hands of a bishop in the historic succession, I embraced Catholic Christianity in its Anglican form, I signed on to a more nuanced and more holistic understanding of personal liberty and individual autonomy. It’s all part of being, in the most basic sense, high church. The Church is spoken of as the “ark of salvation.” When God sent flood waters to cover the earth in the days of

Noah, the only guaranteed plan for flood survival was to be on the ark, because the ark was made of wood, and wood floats. And if you’re saved by being on the ark, then you’re saved along with all the others who are also on the ark. You are saved in community.

This is the heart of Catholicism (kata holos—according to the entirety). Yes, we need to make a personal decision to get on the ark and remain on the ark; individual freedom and responsibility are important. But, in order to do so, we need the help of the others who are on the ark, and—here is where it gets dicey—we don’t get to choose who they are. It will not surprise you if I say that I have known quite a number of Christians with whom I would just as soon not have to share an ark! They annoy me. Sometimes they drive me to distraction. But I don’t get to throw them off, and God isn’t going to do it for me either. Christianity is a communitarian religion. Whether it takes a village to raise a child I will leave to the social and political pundits. But I will say this: It takes a Church to make a saint.

Nashotah House is a manifestation—arguably one of the gems!—of the Catholic stream of Anglicanism. The communal ideal was present at our inception. Hobart, Breck, and Adams knew well the wisdom of the anonymous author of Ecclesiastes: “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to one who is alone if he falls and has not another to lift him up!” (Eccl. 4:9-10) Nashotah House has always been a community—a community that prays together, eats together, works together, studies together, simply lives together. I have heard numerous anecdotes that many in our hybrid distance learning programs virtually salivate in anticipation of the periodic weeks in residency; even above their academic work, they long to experience the community of Nashotah House.

Community is not only in our roots as a seminary, but in the very Benedictine roots of Anglicanism itself. I have often said that the single most powerful evangelistic witness a parish can make is to simply be an authentic community, with everything that the word evokes. It’s a compelling visage. People in our society crave it. Of course, it can look more attractive to an outsider than it does to insiders. You can step onto the ark of salvation, but there’s no promise that you’ll like your ark-mates. And the ark-mates whom you find the most troubling are probably the ones who are most likely to perfect your holiness, and whom you therefore need the most. Horatio Alger may be a mythical American hero, but he is not a Christian saint. And “I gotta be me” will never make it into the Hymnal.

Letter from the Chairman of the

board of trustees

LETTER FROM THE DEAN


n 1879 while recovering from either a broken leg or ankle and feeling rejected by much of the Protestant Episcopal Church, the Rev. James DeKoven, Warden of Racine College, died of

“apoplexy of the heart” at the age of 47. But that isn’t the end of his story. �ose who knew him recognized immediately that a major �gure of the church had been lost. In 1892 Frederick Cook Morehouse (1868-1932), editor of �e Living Church and �e Living Church Annual, called him, “the greatest product of the American Church during the century.” As a leader in the Anglo-Catholic movement, he was known as the “American Keble.” His addresses to General Convention are considered some of the most signi�cant oration in the history of that assembly. In addition to the acclaim he received for his work as a preacher, orator, debater and scholar, he was recognized as the most saintly and holy of men. His life is commemorated in the Episcopal calendar of the Church. �e ritualism he advocated to keep in the Episcopal Church eventually became standard liturgical practice. �ose who have studied the details of DeKoven’s life know that the Nashotah House faculty successfully obstructed his election as Bishop of Milwaukee. Although that is not the focus of this article, it should be noted that those disputes are long-forgotten and the House claims Dr. DeKoven as their own. �e Board of Trustees recently named the combined area of Breck Refectory and Adam’s Hall the “DeKoven Commons.”

History of the DeKoven Biography and the Forgotten Letters

While Dr. Dekoven is recognized as a great �gure in the Church, because of circumstances, a �tting biography has never been written. What follows is a summary of the attempts that have been made to write the life of Dr. DeKoven.

Twenty years aer Dr. DeKoven’s death, the Reverend William Cox Pope (1841-1917), a Racine College and

I

Nashotah House alumnus, wrote a short biography of his former teacher and mentor. Although an invaluable source of information, it was too soon aer Dr. DeKoven’s death to have allowed for an impartial analysis of DeKoven’s place in the larger Episcopal story.

At about the same time, the Rev. Dr. John Henry Hopkins, Jr (1820-1891), a good friend of Dr. DeKoven, collected a large number of letters from DeKoven’s relatives with the intention of writing a biography, but died before he was able. In 1921, the Rev. Dr. Arthur Whipple Jenks, a General �eological Seminary professor who had previously taught Church History at Nashotah House (1894-1901), planned to write a DeKoven biography. He solicited the help of the Reverend Edward Larrabee, recently retired Dean of Nashotah House, then living in Chicago. Dean Larrabee was related to Dr. DeKoven through his sister, who was married to James DeKoven’s

The beginning of the academic year, like all beginnings, brings with it a rush of excitement and anticipation. New students arrive on campus, bringing with them new aspirations, new hopes and dreams, as well as the experiences of their lives before coming to the House. Returning students come back to the House having devoted their summers to various ministries and extracurricular learning opportunities. Faculty return to the classroom having had the chance during the summer months to invest themselves in research and scholarship, and the staff returns to the routine of the academic year having enjoyed opportunities for refreshment and relaxation.

All of this can make for a rather heady mix, and there is in this both a blessing and a challenge. The blessing comes when we recognize the great gift God gives to us by inviting us into fellowship with one another and thereby enabling each of us to move further into the vocations and ministries to which we are called. The challenge comes when we recognize the temptation to try and turn this opportunity for mutual edification and growth in the life of faith into a means of satisfying our own ambitions or avoiding the real work God has given to us to do.

The Apophthegmata Patrum, or Sayings of the Desert Fathers, includes a story about St. Antony of Egypt and his struggle to grow in the life of faith. Antony longed to be delivered of his besetting distractions, and cried to God, “Lord, I want to be saved, but these thoughts will not leave me alone. What shall I do in my affliction?” After he finished praying he got up and left his cell, and outside he saw a man who looked like himself. The man sat as he plaited a rope; after awhile the man got up to pray, after which he sat down and worked on his rope, only to rise later to pray, and then to sit down again to work on his rope. The man said to Antony, “Do this, and you will be saved.” Antony realized the man was an angel sent to give him an example of how to pursue the life to which God had called him.

The rhythm of work and prayer is at the heart of life at Nashotah House. We strive to conform ourselves within

The Rev. Andrew T. Grosso, PhDResearch Professor of Philosophical and Systematic Theology; Associate Dean for Academic Affairs

Always, We Begin Again

the context of that rhythm—conform our minds, our hearts, our wills, and our bodies—to the practices and disciplines that sustain us in our respective ministries. It is within the rhyth m of work and prayer where we seek to make ourselves open and available in ways that allow God to work through Christ and the Spirit to bring about in us the fruit of salvation. And it is within that rhythm that we engage in our interactions with one another, always mindful it is Christ who is among us.

This is a life marked less by consistent and measurable achievement of specific goals and objectives and more by a continual return to simple, routine practices. It is such practices that bring about the kind of conversion (Gk. metanoia) to which God has called us in Christ and the Holy Spirit. Regular observance of such discipline allows us to cultivate the faithful character, faithful understanding, and faithful practice that are the goals of each of the academic programs offered here at Nashotah House.

There’s a saying associated with the Benedictine tradition that reminds us of the need to return to the simple rhythms that encourage real growth in the life of faith: “always, we begin again.” Whether we stand at the beginning of a new day in service to the Lord, a new academic year, or a new time of intense preparation for the ministry to which God has called us, we never stand anywhere but at the beginning, and it is by returning to that beginning that we will be saved.

Fr. Andrew Grosso is the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Research Professor of Philosophical and Systematic Theology. He began his service at Nashotah in 2011 as an adjunct member of the faculty and facilitated several courses in systematic theology in the distance learning program; in 2014 he was appointed Director of Distance Learning, and in 2015 Associate Dean and Research Professor. He earned his PhD in Systematic Theology in 2004 from Marquette University (Milwaukee, WI), his MDiv from the School of Theology at the University of the South (Sewanee, TN) that same year, and his MA in Interdisciplinary Studies (Theology and Educational Ministry) from Wheaton College (Wheaton, IL) in 1996.

Here in this place rooted in mission, people continue to see that we are called to something larger than ourselves and even larger than what we comprise as a group. One of the first things I read about our historic institution was from N.T. Wright, “I have a sense that maybe Nashotah House, like the Irish in the Dark Ages, is called to hang onto certain things which other bits of the tradition have thrown away against the time when the rest of the church realizes it needs them again.” As I invite people to Nashotah House, I realize that I am inviting them to more than simply a place; I am inviting them to consider becoming members of our community so they may worship, study, and join in our common life. This invitation has been extended for nearly 175 years yet there is much that is new here, and certainly there are a number of choices for degrees, but at our core we are and have remained Nashotah House.

As Dietrich Bonhoeffer notes in his great work Life Together, we are not to simply seek the comfort of affinity groups and remain isolated until the coast is clear. We, as Christians, have a much greater call to live together in unity (Ps. 133:1). This does not mean that we wait until we are all in agreement; instead it means that all of us are called to serve in his one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church, regardless of disagreements. Far from us moving into the mode of self-preservation, we have discerned that our call as missioners today is to seek God’s will and continue learning how we live into a faithful heritage. We are far from fully understanding all that God has in store for us and his Church, but we join together daily in our life of prayer, seeking to have God make us into the people and place that he has called us to be.

During our most recent Convocation, Jon Meacham, PhD, addressed challenges we will face as clergy and laity “as we bear witness to the truth.” He too referred to the ancient tradition mentioned earlier by Wright. Meacham’s

We Invite You to ConsiderThe Rev. Jason S. Terhune, ‘15

charge to the graduates and others present was to “dare to be conventional; dare to be traditional; dare to be orthodox. The boldest course you can take is to preach the oldest piece of good news in the Christian story: ‘He is not here, but is risen.’”

Nashotah House operates in the midst of tension within the church; however, as we hold fast to these “certain things” that others “have thrown away” we have continued to learn their importance today. The result, we have gained a greater respect and love for God’s provision. We continue in our life together to find joy and strength as we move into a time where we seek to continue “supporting with the greatest patience one another’s weaknesses…preferring nothing whatever to Christ.” This is what we

find in our community that grows us into the readiness for ministry into which God has called us.

Today just as it was yesterday, Nashotah House offers the training and formation that give these things a place in daily worship; they are held tightly in the ongoing worship life here at the House. Meacham provides a simple articulation of what that means in the life of the church: “Proclaim the Gospel, say the Mass, bless the people, and then do it all over again. If you of all people drift away from ritual and rule, then we will lose something precious, and it will be mighty difficult to get it back again.”

This is what we do here and this is who we are. We prepare people to do the hard work, in a hard culture, in hard times. Nashotah House seeks to live in

unity, forming those who are called to keep these things safe by teaching them to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord to a dying and suffering world. These things that we keep safe are not to be hidden away; they are to be practiced and administered so that the day when the “church realizes it needs them again” we will be formed in the ongoing life of worship.

Archdeacon Akah received an Master’s of Sacred Theology (STM) degree in 2014, and was able to continue his education with the help of financial donations given to Nashotah House for the support of African clergy continuing their training. Since the summer of 2015, the Archdeacon has served as Dean of the Institute of Theology, Seminary of Paul University, Awka, Nigeria, where he said, “We are proud to be seen as community formed and built around the ageless ancient and modern traditions of the Anglican Church.”

It is a rare privilege for me to confess my understanding of the spiritual benefits and fruits of my reading of the Prayer for my cherished Alma mater, Nashotah House. I never knew

a simplistic and decided way to pray against a self-conceited and prideful lifestyle, until the time of my walk and work as initiate ‘Son of the House’. In the days when we had prayed together during Evensong or on every special community liturgical event for God’s benedictions upon the House, I was helped to live concretely in the mind and vision of Kemper and all his associates. For in saying the Prayer for the House, we reflected on the values of the benefactors and equally were led to contemplating the actual spiritual occasion of the formative function of the Benedictine spiritual traditions of the seminary.

It meant so much for me to pray daily the Prayer for Nashotah House, “for God’s great name and the benefit of His Holy Church”, asking for “grace and wisdom to all the authorities, that they may exercise holy discipline, and be themselves patterns of holiness, simplicity, and self-denial.” My prayer continues to be for God to help purge all postulants and other students from “all pride, vanity, and self-conceit, and give them true humility and self-abasement. Enlighten their minds, subdue their wills, purify their hearts, and so penetrate them with the Holy Spirit and filling them with divine and godly love, that they may go forth animated with earnest zeal for the glory of God”. As I continue to pray for Nashotah, the emphasis for God’s ever-living “Word to so dwell within our hearts, so we may speak with resistless energy of love to melt the hearts of sinners to the love of you”, is the thrust of the seminary’s evangelical tradition that appeals to my sensibility.

About Stewardship, words that rang true while I studied here: ‘Open, O Lord, the hearts and hands of your people, that they may be ready to give and glad to distribute to our necessities.’ My mind tells me I am not alone in the healthful feeling and sacrificial passion that filled my heart each time I joined in praying the lines that blesses the founders and benefactors of Nashotah House, in which we begged God to recompense them with the riches of everlasting kingdom. The ‘Amen’ is a constant ‘remembrance’ of my call to constantly keep the House in my prayers. I am still being formed by the Prayer as I continue in prayers for the Lord to remain the Stay of My cherished Nashotah House, faculty, students and ever-valued programs.

“Many legends are told about St. Nicholas, and most of them are fanciful. But I think that there is probably a basis in fact for the one I chose to tell,” said the Rev. Foster Eich, MD, ’13. Dr. Eich recently published, �e True Story of St. Nicholas, (Who is Also Called Santa Claus), available from amazon.com. “My hope is this book gives a more Christian understanding to Santa Claus, who is really a Christian symbol.” Dr. Eich was ordained in 1980 and received an MA from Nashotah House in 2013.

Nashotah House’s Chairman of the Board of Trustees, the Rt. Rev. Dan Martins, ’89 (Diocese of Spring�eld), and Alumni Secretary, the Rev. Joel Allen Prather, ’09 attended the Consecration of three new Su�ragan Bishops for the Anglican Diocese of Peru in the Cathedral in Lima on July 25, 2015: Frs. Jorge Aguilar, Alejandro Mesco and Juan Carlos Revilla. �e Diocese of Spring�eld is forming a partnership with the Anglican Diocese of Peru. Fr. Prather was a member of the �rst two Mission Teams from Nashotah to Peru and led the second. Blogs detailing those trips are found here: http://nashotahmissions.blogspot.com. Presiding at the consecration was the Rt. Rev. William Godfrey, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Peru and a Son of the House by virtue of the DD he received in 2008, and the Rev. Allen Hill,a current DMin student at Nashotah House.

As of this writing Fr. Lee Nelson, SSC, ’05 has spent the last 18 months working with the people of Christ Church, Waco, TX, to plant a new parish of the Diocese of Fort Worth in the city of Waco to serve the local community and the students and faculty of Baylor University. In August, 2015, they o�cially launched worship every Sunday morning and moved into a new location—the Dr Pepper Museum. Fr.

joined the pastoral team, along with two other doctoral students, one a priest and the other a transitional deacon. Fr. Nelson recently wrote to the parish, “We were ordained for the sake of the Church, and we love to serve—so please don’t hesitate to put us to use in confession, spiritual direction, pastoral counseling, or just someone to talk to during lunch!” Christ Church hosts a weekly Solemn Evensong on the Baylor Campus, and has started a new ministry with graduate students who pray Morning Prayer together every weekday morning.

On September 16, 2015, the Historical Society of Central Florida’s Donald A. Cheney Award was awarded to Canon Nelson Pinder, ’59 (pictured far right). From the Historical Society’s news, “Since coming to Orlando, FL, in 1959, Fr. Pinder has been a determined advocate for increasing diversity, recognizing the persistence of racism and reaching out to minorities and the needy. His purpose in life became evident when he arrived in the community to serve the Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist in Orlando’s African American community. He was among the most effective civil rights activists of the 1960s and worked with white elected officials to peacefully integrate Orlando and avoid the racial violence that plagued other Florida cities. Pinder was involved in organizing sit-ins and protests of segregated lunch counters in Orlando. He later became a member of the Mayor’s Biracial Commission that dealt with issues of desegregation and equal employment opportunities for minorities.”

From August 14-16, 2015, the Rev. Jason S. Terhune, ’15, attended the Pilgrimage Weekend to mark the 50th anniversary of Jonathan Daniels’ death. “This was a great weekend as we remember those who have gone before,” said Dcn. Terhune who serves as Nashotah House’s recruitment officer. “I met some fellow Sons and Daughters of The House as I represented Nashotah House.” The Presiding Bishop-elect and Southern Poverty Law Center organized the weekend.

As a location for ministry, Uganda is a wonderful place filled with opportunity. Someone with just a little bit of an adventurous soul can find it a life changing experience. My experience came in the form of completing the Supervised Practice of Ministry (SPM) requirement by working at All Saints Parish with the Church of Uganda in Masindi, Uganda for six weeks during June 2015. It was here that I learned, as you can see in the photograph, the average Sunday attendance within the parishes in the Masindi-Kitara Diocese is unbelievable by U.S. standards. At All Saints Parish, an average Sunday worship attendance is approximately 1,000 parishioners, who participate among three services with a supplemental Deliverance Service. These were at the request of those who had a specific need -- asking the Lord to help in finding work or for deliverance of some type of spiritual attack. Praying with people under these varied circumstances was inspirational.

Sunday mornings began with a charismatic service called “Renewal” at 6:30 a.m., followed by the “English” service, and ending with the “Traditional” service. Each time of worship is attended by approximately 300 people and frequently lasts two or more hours. Fr. Francis Kajura, a 25-year veteran priest was my supervisor and soon became a trusted friend and mentor. He provided guidance, and also gave me the opportunity to make the utmost of my time in Uganda. Each Sunday, I preached three services and prayed through the Deliverance Service on Sunday evenings. In addition to the outstanding worship, it was also interesting to me that Ugandan clergy are allowed in schools wherever parish children may attend. Part of what clergy do is preach, teach, and provide the Sacraments to the children and teachers. During my stay, I attended over 10 different schools with Fr. Francis, preaching, teaching, and assisting with Holy Communion. In every school, both public and private, children led Christian singing at assemblies. The children are part of a “Scripture Union”, remarkable groups, well-taught in local hymns. One only has to spend a day or two in the country to see and hear that it is a country where

REWARDS AND CHALLENGES OF OVERSEAS MISSION

By Wayne Stolpa, ‘17, Western Diocese of the Polish National Catholic Church

SUPERVISED PRACTICE OF MINISTRY (SPM)

Christ is key not only to the local faith, but ingrained in the culture. When not filling my time in schools, pastoral work in Masindi included visiting the sick in hospital, praying with others while walking through the central market, stopping to talk and simply share time together. Twice during these pastoral visits, I had the experience of converting former Muslims to Christ. During a one particular visit to bring Communion to an elderly woman, her Muslim granddaughter decided to accept Christ. The granddaughter was so moved that a Muzungu (white person) was visiting her home that she believed now was the time to formally accept Christ, and asked if I would present her for baptism. I thought we would prepare something at Church on Sunday for an adult baptism. However, Fr. Francis quickly alerted me that we were conducting the baptism service then and there. While this immediacy surprised my American mindset, I thought, “Yes, of course we baptize people as soon as possible!”

On a separate occasion, two teachers asked Fr. Francis and me to speak with a distressed colleague. When we met with her, she explained that she had been a Muslim who had recently accepted Jesus Christ. As we prayed with her, she told us her family was in serious trouble. The woman’s husband had recently tried to sell their daughter for sacrifice. After much prayer and intervention of others, her husband had relented, but the teacher now firmly believed he wished to sell her for sacrifice. We baptized the teacher, prayed for deliverance, and tried our best to direct her to safety. My short season of ministry in Uganda was both instructive and rewarding, but not without its very definite challenges. Wayne Stolpa is a second-year “middler” seminarian at Nashotah House from Madison, WI, in the Western Diocese of the Polish National Catholic Church. He served his SPM at All Saints Parish in Uganda, the second Nashotah House seminarian to serve there since 2013.


Welcome to the 173rd Matriculating Class of Nashotah House�e ceremony called Matriculation is not a term one hears very oen. To enroll into an institution is to matriculate; and since the Middle Ages, the British universities of Oxford, Cambridge, St. Andrews, and Durham, have used the term to describe the point at which new students are permitted to enter into the register (Latin matricula) of the university. �e term has been used at Nashotah House since the 1880s, and involves signing the book, a pledge to abide by seminary rules, practices, and to support the institution. As one of our alumni said, “What an important day in the life of the seminarian, and in the life of the House at large. A few more souls sacri�ced for Christ, formed to continue to make room for the Holy Spirit to manifest Himself as a conduit for God’s grace. In this moment, the Sons and Daughters of this House gather in prayer, and o�er oblations of thanksgiving and prayers of protection for the newest recruits in the Army of God—remembering that in Christ, as Paul wrote in Romans, that we are to ‘outdo one another in showing honor.’” �is year brings us to the 173rd Matriculating Class, marked again with prayer and discipleship within the Anglican tradition. As we welcome the Petertide and Michaelmas 2015 matriculating students, we pray with them the Matriculation Oath of Nashotah House, as we again come into communion with the Holy Trinity in the company of the assembled saints. Congratulations to the Matriculating Class of 2015, and may God bless your formation.

Many members and families of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus were able to participate in worship during the 1970s because of the unique missionary call of priests. During the years 1968-79, I was called to serve as Chaplain of the Circus, after the death of their previous chaplain. At the time when I heard of their need, I was also serving as Rector of St. Wilfred’s Episcopal Church in Sarasota, FL. Now, as both a parish priest and missionary, I led and oversaw the life of both congregations in worship and prayer, equipping the saints for the work of ministry -- for St. Wilfred’s and the circus.

An annual tradition of the circus included the blessing of the train prior to their leaving their “Winter Quarters” located in Venice, FL. Each season, the altar boys and I blessed each individual train car, praying, “Bless, O Lord, this car and your creatures who travel therein, both human and animal. Conduct them safely in the way they are about to go, and bless them in the joy they bring.” Another unique experience included the first time I celebrated the Eucharist after becoming Chaplain. I was at The Forum Arena in Philadelphia. I was assigned a dressing room for our worship, and my first altar was a leather-covered rub-down table used by the boxers. Despite not having the ideal conditions for worship, those attending barely noticed and were glad, they said, just to have the Mass brought to them.

As a graduate of the House in the class of 1963, my ministry has included several different experiences in service to our Lord. I have been a mission vicar, a church planter, a rector several times, a Canon to the Ordinary and, now, nearing the completion of my fifty-third year of ministry, a Senior Assistant to the Rector at St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church in Atlanta, GA. As I look back, I continue to recall and be thankful for the missionary spirit of Nashotah House. The Sons and Daughters of the House have continued in this missionary spirit; sometimes in unexpected ways.

Explaining the Mysteries to a New Generation

The Rev. Steve Rice, DMin ‘15

Doctor of Ministry (DMin) at Nashotah House

The Rev. Steve Rice received his DMin from Nashotah House in 2015. His thesis focus covered new media “mystagogy”, the Greek for “instruction”, using YouTube and social media for catechesis. Fr. Rice serves as Rector of St Timothy’s Episcopal Church in Winston-Salem, NC. He is also a member of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament, the Society of King Charles the Martyr, Guild of All Souls, and a Priest Associate of Our Lady of Walsingham. Fr. Rice invites you to follow him on Twitter – @frsteverice and Facebook: facebook.com/frsteve. For more about resources, articles and homilies, please visit www.ritualnotes.com

While community, teaching, music, and outreach can be found outside the church, the Sacrifice of the Mass and the Real Presence of Jesus Christ is only found on the altars of Christ’s Church, and there is no more compelling reason for coming to church. But have we taught this? Have we stirred the blood of the faithful? The remedy to declining interest, attendance, and life in the Church is not rebranding, restructuring, or revision; instead, it is the return to the source and summit of our life in the Most Holy Eucharist. Anglo-Catholic theologian, Darwell Stone was Principal of Pusey House, Oxford from 1909-1934. Dr. Stone has wounded me. Like Jacob wrestling at the Jabbok, Dr. Stone pulled my hip out of socket so that each day as a priest, I walk, talk, think, and function with a reminder of his words. During his tenure, he once preached a Lenten sermon at St Paul’s, Knightsbridge, where he said concerning the Holy Eucharist: CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

Those who recognize what it is [the Holy Eucharist] will not, except through grave necessity, allow a Sunday or other high festival to pass without their taking some part in it.

Our anxiety about declining numbers in the Episcopal Church remains justified as not a single domestic U.S. Diocese recorded growth in average Sunday attendance between 2000-2010. Stone’s promise has largely been ignored. Attempts by the Church to compete with the

ever-changing desires of society will always lead to frustration and insecurity. If our apologetics for “coming to church” are rooted in the establishment of community, we will be reminded that community is forged in all sorts of places outside the church; often with greater effect and impact. If our apologetics are rooted in music and teaching, we will be reminded that excellent music and teaching is but a download away on our digital devices.

In 2014, limping from the words of Dr. Stone and the latest membership statistics from The Episcopal Church, I explored for my Doctor of Ministry (DMin) project teaching the Eucharistic doctrine of

Sacrifice and Real Presence through a modern classroom that already has millions in attendance. It may not be what you expect — YouTube. Auxiliary Bishop Robert Barron of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Los Angeles calls YouTube the modern Areopagus (Acts 17); a place where ideas are exchanged and the curious can dialogue with the passionate.


The Rev. Tommy Bye, graduated in 1994 and now serves as Rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Cypress Mill, Texas, about an hour west of Austin in the Texas’ Hill Country. In 2013 the nearly 60 year-old parish went from mission status to parish status. Below, Fr. Bye talks about his experiences with this “unique little church” in the ranch country of West Texas.

Describe a little of your church’s history. You mentioned that your church took on parish status after being a mission church for a number of years. What year did this occur and tell us what had led up to this?

In 2007, I arrived in the Hill Country of Texas to serve as Vicar of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. It was a small, country church but growing, and like any church, has a story. Nearly 60 years ago, this little unique church got its start. Now, keep in mind, we are in a location that has not a single rooftop in sight. When you drive out to our area, you pass over a number of cattle guards, one ranch after another. But back in the day, the ranchers decided they all needed a church as many of them were traveling long distances to worship. The ranchers went to the Bishop of Texas to ask about planting a church. He agreed but later discovered they were not even in the Diocese of Texas. He then referred them to the Bishop of West Texas. That will tell you how remote the area of the hoped-for-church was in. Along the way to becoming a church, the people met in homes as they worked to raise money to build. How would they pay for their land, their building, and their priest? This was not an easy time for any of the parishioners since they were suffering from the effects of a severe seven-year drought. The sun burned the grass, and people and animals were really struggling. One of the ways they raised money was collecting and selling scrap metal from the surrounding ranches. At one point two women of the new mission collected $1,500 in scrap metal and carried it in their old truck to Austin to sell. Here and there they saved and contributions came in, and they borrowed a little also. Little by Little they raised enough to build this church. Some of the stone came off the original family’s ranches. Through the years the parish has grown and

prospered, with the recent addition of a beautiful new parish hall, built to accommodate worship services when attendance is too large for the church. Planning is currently under way for the possibility of a larger church in the future. All this describes the faithfulness of the people that continues today. It remained at mission status until 2013 when they applied for parish status through the Diocese of West Texas. Many of the original ranch families are still represented here. Some may wonder why people come from as far away as Austin to worship at this little church that is still remote to many parishioners. What I can say about that is there’s something very special about this little church in the Hill Country, chosen and directed by God and especially responsive to the Holy Spirit.

Describe mission and outreach done by the people of St. Luke’s; how you have made the Stations of the Cross available to parishioners and visitors. What is the Piedras Negras Outreach, how did this begin?

St. Luke’s has always been part of a community which has been inclined to more “low-church” worship, but now with a high churchman from Nashotah House emphasizing sacramental worship as their rector. Obviously they have been open to change. The Stations of the Cross were built here just before I came. The stations are outside along a view that overlooks the surrounding Hill Country. Many visitors to the area stop

to see the church and recognize that the Stations have a certain mystery to them. At first, many say that while walking the stations, they seem to be a little detached, but as they progress they find a deeper connection—through the prayers, which draw them nearer to Christ as they continue on the path. Surprisingly, quiet days and retreats are often conducted at St. Luke’s by other denominations. Also, the full Triduum of Holy Week services are offered each year at this little church in the Texas Hill Country. The influence of Nashotah House is known even in the ranch country of central Texas.

Our mission to Piedras Negras, Mexico works

to provide materials and personal sewing training for the women of Piedras.


Piedras Negras, a city on the Mexico-Texas border, four hours southwest of us. About four times a year we have parishioners who serve with the Anglican Church of El Buen Pastor to not only teach sewing, but to deliver donations of food, clothing and household items for what has been El Buen Pastor’s mission to the poorest of the poor. Other parishioners have participated in the maintenance/construction of churches and homes in the city. Closer to home, St. Luke’s allocates ten percent of all plate and pledge collections each year for use in our assistance fund. Money from the Fund is used for local needs as determined by the Vestry and Outreach Committee. These donations also go to many different local independent assistance ministries.

We also have a water ministry to the community and volunteer fire departments in a four county area. Water can be scarce in our area especially during drought and wildfire seasons. This water ministry enables their fire trucks to recharge their water tanks without having to lose precious time in an hour turn around to town to secure water there. St. Luke’s and our community were able to raise about $100,000 to make 60,000 gallons of water from our deep water well and storage tanks available at all times. I believe that the worship, mission and outreach at St. Luke’s are what not only keeps it alive, but keeps it growing.

What years were you at Nashotah House and describe memories you have from here. How did the formation you received affect your ministry later? What is some prayerful guidance that you would offer seminarians today? Words of advice you were offered when you were a student here?

I arrived at Nashotah House in 1990 as a prospective student after having been accepted to St. Stephen’s House, Oxford, England. Even though I had a letter of acceptance from St. Stephen’s House, there was just something about Nashotah House that drew me there. Looking back, I can see that I was called by the Holy Spirit to be at Nashotah House. After having worshiped in the Chapel of St. Mary the Virgin during a preliminary visit, I nearly couldn’t leave. I believed I had received a call by God to attend this very seminary and I never looked back. I would encourage current students to wholeheartedly participate in all that Nashotah House has to offer. You must maintain a sense of humor there, but it is also an intentionally serious place, highly regarded for its priestly formation. This is what it is known for, in addition to being a place that is steeped in the catholic tradition. My words of encouragement are these: don’t resist Nashotah House. Surrender and give yourselves over completely to the demanding regimen that is offered here. Worship, study, prayer, service and community, the life of Nashotah House—allow Nashotah to do what God has designed it to do.

The Rev. Tommy Bye (center) with members of his Water Ministry team, says, “I believe that the worship, mission and outreach at St. Luke’s are what not only keeps it alive, but keeps it growing.”


Nashotah House Theological Seminary celebrated the installation of an organ donated by St. Francis Episcopal Church Menomonee Falls, WI., Mother Martha Berger, Rector. The organ is a 1959 Möller, was disassembled, cleaned, and installed by David Brokowski of Brokowski Organ Builders Milwaukee, moved by the seminarians of the Nashotah House and tuned by Lee Erickson. The organ was originally dedicated to the Glory of God and given in memory of Charles Ray and Esther McCallum. Nashotah House wishes to thank the members of the Brookfield Civic Band and Dr. Garwood Anderson, professor of New Testament and Greek at Nashotah House, for joining in the musical offering. Directing were Canon Joseph A. Kucharski, Professor of Church Music and Director of Chapel Music, and the Rev. Alexander R. Pryor, Teaching Fellow in Church Music and Associate Director of Chapel Music, both of Nashotah House. In attendance were alumni, staff, faculty and families of Nashotah House, as well as members, guests and representatives of several dioceses in the area: Christ Church, Delavan; Holy Cross Church, Milwaukee; St. Michael’s Church, Oconomowoc; St. Paul’s Milwaukee; St. Anskar’s, Hartland; Christ Church Cathedral, Milwaukee; St. John Chrysostom, Delafield; Zion Episcopal Church, Oconomowoc; St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, Pewaukee; Church of the Ascension, Chicago; and Trinity Church, Baraboo.

CATECHESIS & PEDAGOGY AT CHRIST CHURCH, PLANO


Picturesque surroundings, catching up with old friends, and meeting new friends, Nashotah House students attended the Seminarian Leadership Conference at the University of the South, Sewanee, Tenn. September 20-22, 2015. Each year, the conference is hosted by a different Episcopal seminary, allowing for attendees to observe and participate in the community life of another seminary. Ryan Pollock, ’17 and Donald Griffin, ’16 of Nashotah House were among the 23 seminarians who attended this year. Of the topics discussed were mission, seminary and parish life, and the environment. Facilitators were the Rev. Dr. Frank Dunn, convener of the clergy team of St. Stephen and the Incarnation in Washington, DC.

“I was grateful for the opportunity to see what other seminaries are up to, especially the ways in which they are caring for the environment, the theme of the conference,” said Nashotah House student, Ryan Pollock, postulant from the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas. “It was fun, informative, and I look forward to going again next year. Now, during the prayers of the people, I have faces and names to remember when our sister schools are mentioned.”

Funding for the Seminarian Leadership Conference is provided by a grant from the Evangelical Education Society of the Episcopal Church.

youngest brother John. Mr. Larrabee told Dr. Jenks that he was aware of a collection of DeKoven letters from his time at Nashotah House. He also told Dr. Jenks that the materials Dr. Hopkins had collected approximately thirty years prior were nowhere to be found. Dr. Jenks died in 1922 and never wrote the biography. The letters or copies of the two sets of letters mentioned by Dean Larrabee are not in the Nashotah House Archives and it has been something of a mystery in regards to what happened to them. No one knows for sure, but it is my opinion that the Nashotah House letters mentioned ended up with Dean Larrabee in Chicago due to the fact that forty years later a collection of DeKoven letters surfaced in Chicago with a Larrabee relative. The other letters mentioned to Dr. Jenks are very likely lost to history.

Another attempt at a biography was made in the 1960s by some of the members of the Community of St. Mary, who were running a retreat site at the DeKoven Center (formerly Racine College). The Sisters attempted to obtain enough material on Dr. DeKoven for an updated biography. They were hopeful that a Nashotah House professor, the Reverend Dr. W. Roland Foster would take on the job, but he never did. Through the Sisters’ efforts, though, they were able to locate a collection of 183 DeKoven letters that had been in the possession of the Right Rev. Charles Larrabee Street (1891-1968), Suffragan Bishop of Chicago from 1949-1963. Bishop Street was the nephew of former Nashotah House Dean, Edward Larrabee. In 1970, these letters were sent to the Archives of the Episcopal Church in Austin, TX, through the efforts of the Community of St. Mary. While DeKoven’s letters are not available at Nashotah House, they may be located by special permission through episcopalarchives.org

In 1978, former Historiographer for the Diocese of Milwaukee, Dr. Thomas Reeves, wrote a short biographical introduction for James DeKoven: Anglican Saint, a collection of DeKoven’s sermons. In the 1980s and 90s he considered writing a more definitive biography, and even tracked down the DeKoven letters in the Episcopal Archives, but lost interest after leaving the Episcopal Church.

In 2002, the Reverend Lawrence Crumb ’61 MDiv and ‘73 STM, wrote a chapter biography of DeKoven for the book, To Hear Celestial Harmonies: Essays on the Witness of James DeKoven and the DeKoven Center. By his own report, he did not use the collection of DeKoven letters in the Episcopal Archives. To this day, it appears that no one has ever used these letters as source material. It is surprising that someone with such stature in the Episcopal Church has a large collection of letters that have never been utilized in a published account of his life.

I have my own spin on Robert Fulghum’s poem: “What I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned…” at Nashotah House. That’s because at Nashotah House I became immersed in a community formed on the Way of St. Benedict. Ever since seminary, what I really need to know for life and ministry has been anchored in the Benedictine Spirituality, which the Nashotah House community embodied for me.

Of course, as a lifelong Anglican, I had already encountered the legacy of Benedict of Nursia even without studying his writings. His short Rule of precepts has guided monastics and lay people since the sixth century. The Rule has continued to encapsulate a daily pattern for growing in Christlikeness and Nashotah House worked to make it explicit for me: the Benedictine Way of Life orders every stage of life toward union with Christ’s life, for the life of the world.

I learned of Benedict, not in the Nashotah House classrooms as my husband was the registered student; however, we shared the Nashotah House experience. Seminary shaped our entire family, and that happened because Nashotah House steeped us in Benedictine Living.

Our introduction to the Way of St. Benedict came before we embarked for Wisconsin. Nashotah House mailed us Esther de Waal’s Seeking God / The Way of St. Benedict to read in preparation of our campus orientation. Mrs. de Waal’s little book brought into focus the essence of Benedict’s monastic Rule of Life, a way of seeking God together.

The desire for Christ that bound the Benedictines in their intentional lifestyle also united our seminary. The Rule directly inspired Nashotah House’s identity as “a school for the Lord’s service” (Rule, Prologue 45). In Benedict’s vision, education and service were linked and both rooted in worship. The powerful integration of prayer, work, and study characterized the common life of the Benedictines and of Nashotah House. This provided an opportunity to “advance in the way of eternal life” (5:10).

Such opportunities for sacrifice and growth abounded for all on campus, for both degree-seekers and families alike. There were the classes available for credit or audit. Faculty, visiting speakers, and church leaders from around the globe widely shared their wisdom through retreats, bible studies, homilies. We all had chances to participate in mission and service projects. Spiritual directors offered to meet with anyone interested. Let’s not forget the community dinners! However, the core of our communal life was the same at Nashotah House as at Benedict’s monasteries. Every day centered on celebrating the Eucharist and praying the divine office. Drawing on the Source of Life became our way of life.

During the season we called Nashotah House home, this life was our privilege. When our time in seminary came to an end, the transformation did not. We had been shown how to live and die in Christ, and the lesson continues to remain with us.

In the years since seminary, Benedict’s wisdom has helped us “begin again” (18:23) many times, day by day. So far we’ve faced new curacies, new job appointments, new study programs, new family members. Through it all we continue to relate to Benedict’s “little rule written for beginners” (73:8). His summation keeps us grounded: “the love of Christ must come before all else” (4:21). Because of the foundation, the Benedictine disciplines bear fruit. We are nourished through keeping the daily office. The holistic approach to prayer, labor, and study brings stability. Benedict’s invitation to “holy obedience” (Prologue 40) offers us relief from the disorder and isolation of a self-serving existence.

That Christ-centered way is all we really need to know, and that’s what Nashotah House instilled in us.

Living the Benedictine WayBy Jennifer Snell


Bless, O Lord, us Thy servants, who minister in Thy temple.

Grant that what we sing with our lips, we may believe in our hearts, and what we believe in our hearts, we may show forth in our lives.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.The Chorister’s Prayer

A Choir trained according to the Voice for Life chorister’s curriculum of the

Royal School of Church Music

Nashotah House Theological Seminary is an affiliated institution of the Royal School of Church Music, authorized to deliver the Voice for Life curriculum.

I formed two sets of focus groups in order to understand what my average, active parishioner understood about the reasons for three things: coming to church, the Holy Eucharist, and specifically the doctrines of Sacrifice and Real Presence. As one might expect, I discovered a variety of ideas surrounding the Eucharist at various levels of theological depth. Many of the participants did not understand what the Church meant by Christ’s Real Presence in the Sacrament nor had they heard (much less understand) the doctrine of Eucharistic Sacrifice. The Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 spoke through the responses: “How can I understand unless someone guides me?” Instead of a chariot, I chose to take advantage of social media: Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. Borrowing the title “Ritual Notes” from the classic Anglo-Catholic ceremonial guide, I then created an online platform for a “new media mystagogy.”

Using a digital video camera, wireless microphone, and a laptop, I filmed and edited two videos, each around 10 minutes; one of the Real Presence Our Lord in the Eucharist and the other on Eucharistic Sacrifice. Relying on the works of Dom Anscar Vonier and E.L. Mascall, I focused heavily on the nature of the sacrament in order to prepare the way for communicating how Christ can be truly and substantially present and how his sacrifice on the cross can be made present to us in the Eucharistic offering. I included video of my parish masses to show how traditional ceremonial preserves and proclaims these Eucharistic doctrines while the presentation of beauty begins to stir the blood.

The results were encouraging for me as a pastoral practitioner. I learned that parishioners are hungry for solid teaching, to be catechized, and they are more than willing to share what they know and confess what they do not know. I learned that YouTube is an effective way for communicating difficult doctrines because of the portability and repeatability of the medium. I also learned that creating an online presence and catechetical materials is not as daunting and expensive as one might imagine.The new Areopagus for the curious is no longer found on a hill, but online. We have the tools to stir their blood with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his Presence and Sacrifice in the Eucharist. When our blood is stirred by His Blood, we’ll never stay away.

et me begin by quoting from a letter of Blessed Jackson Kemper, written at the founding of Nashotah House in 1842.

Nov. 12.--”I entirely approve of the plan, for in my estimation it (the cause) is a very sacred one, and if duly cherished at the present time, will open a new, primitive, and most successful mode of making known to the careless and the ignorant the blessed truths of the Gospel of Peace. It has my entire and deliberate approbation. �e sacri�ces voluntarily and cheerfully encountered by this little band of brothers for the sake of our Divine Master and His Church, deserve, and ought at once to receive, the cordial cooperation of every Christian.”

It’s remarkable how little has changed. We are still engaged in the same task Kemper described, though now with even greater urgency. Sacri�ces continue to be made so that this mission house can continue the work of being a “college of learning and piety” preparing ministers of the Gospel. To accomplish the task, to make the di�erence we still need the “cordial cooperation of every Christian.”

What’s at stake? Nashotah House o�ers an approach to theological education and priestly formation that is not duplicated by any other seminary. �e House’s emphasis is on classical theological education; priestly formation based in the lived experience of intentional community following the Benedictine ethos and nurtured by the liturgy; and practical training in mission, stewardship, and ministry. Students who emerge from Nashotah House are e�ective in ministry because they have learned how to build community and they know the heart of the “faith once delivered to the saints.” If there is no Nashotah House this approach to theological education and formation will disappear, leaving a hole in the life of the Church.

Nashotah House must survive, but more than that, it must thrive. Nashotah House must �ourish – as we say around campus FLOREAT NASHOTAH (let Nashotah �ourish)! �e House can only �ourish if we build a solid foundation for growth. God is at work, good things are happening, lives are being touched, and the Church is being served by this mission outpost in Wisconsin. While there is a �rm foundation of doctrine, tradition, liturgical observance, prayer, spirituality, and formation, there is a need for �nancial growth. �e House is under-endowed and there is need for greater support of the work that is being undertaken.

L

THE CORDIAL COOPERATION OF EVERY CHRISTIAN

The Very Reverend Steven A. Peay, PhDDean-PresidentProfessor of Homiletics and Church History

�ere is already a good deal of work bearing fruit as graduates of the House go forth to serve parishes, teach, lead, and administer in the United States and abroad. Four of our recent graduates from Africa and Asia are serving as principals of theological schools. �e House receives requests from bishops around the world desiring our help in renewing their seminaries. �e Nashotah House “product” is known and respected. Soon four students will join us from Zimbabwe, along with two students from Nigeria who are currently here studying with us, learning from us how to run a seminary, so they can return and do the same in their homelands. �is is what one of those who now heads a college told us was our “Macedonian call”.

Many generous donors this year helped to insure that these activities, and others, continue. But, much more work needs to be done. Tuition alone covers a fraction of the cost of educating our seminarians. Twenty-�ve percent to be exact.

�us, the next phase in our fundraising e�ort will be to focus on a new set of Funding Priorities that will enable benefactors to make a major impact on our ability to serve our students through:

Endowing Named Scholarships Endowing ProfessorshipsGi-investing in Capital & Technology needs Supporting the African Scholars.

To name only a few of the Funding Priorities the House is currently pursuing.

Kemper had a plan that continues to bear fruit. Peay has a plan, too, and will continue to talk with you about it, since it is worthy of the “cordial cooperation of every Christian.” Pray for us and FLOREAT NASHOTAH!

Yours in the Lord’s work,

�e House can only �ourish if we build a solid foundation for growth. God is at work, good things are happening, lives are being touched, and the Church is being served by this mission outpost in Wisconsin.

am pleased to serve Nashotah House as the new Associate Dean of Institutional Advancement. Our work will build on the dedication and devotion of others who have valued and nurtured the House through their contributions of time, talent, and

treasure.

This year, thanks to the generosity and support of 910 individuals, parishes, dioceses and foundations who contributed 1,844 gifts, the House was able to continue its mission…To provide the highest quality of leaders both lay and ordained, for the mission of the church.

Eight of this year’s contributions were received in the form of estate gifts, continuing these benefactors’ life-time support of the House through their membership in the Alice Sabine Legacy Society:

The Rev. Richard BennettMr. John S. Hart Jr.The Rev. Canon Arthur K.D. KephartThe Very Rev. Donald W. Lloyd DDThe Rev. David E. Nyberg DDThe Rev. John B. Pahls Jr. STMMr. Glenn R. Simpson Jr.The Rev. Dr. Charles E. Whipple

Philanthropy plays a major role in the financial health of Nashotah House supporting such areas as: Seminarian Scholarships; Capital and Technology Needs; and Faculty Support.

One-third of the gifts received this year were restricted to seminarian scholarships. Scholarship support is critical since 90-95% of our residential students and 60% of the balance of our students require financial aid in the form of scholarships and loans.

In addition, many students who already have incurred undergraduate debt, increase this liability by adding expenses to attend the seminary; thus, putting greater

stress on recent graduates who have chosen to selflessly serve others. Their compensation as clergy or other church professionals will be modest at best.

Contributions to the House’s Scholarship fund enable the House to attract outstanding students who may not be able to afford to come to our Seminary, freeing these graduates to serve God and the church without incurring debilitating levels of debt.

Other generous donations received in Fiscal Year 2015 funded the capital and technology needs of the campus. The Seminary’s historic campus requires constant attention to maintain. Of the 16 campus buildings, 7 were built in the mid to late 1800s. Thus, capital improvements which include retro-fitting buildings to accommodate needed technology are a continual challenge.

Philanthropic Funds were also used to sustain faculty and staff positions with salaries and benefits commensurate with other like-schools. The House faculty are key to fulfilling its mission. The faculty, who are nationally and some internationally known, shape some of the world’s most promising students for a life of service. They have a significant impact on shaping their students’ core values and theological perspectives by bringing scripture and theology into engagement with local and global challenges.

Your contributions have made Nashotah House possible.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, the seminarians, and all the communities our seminarians will touch, we thank you for your gift-investments this year. It is through your generosity and support that we are able to form the next generation of religious and lay leaders.

Sincerely,

Diane Simons Plantenberg, CFREAssociate Dean for Institutional Advancement

The Jackson Kemper Annual Fund recognizes and pays tribute to Reverend Kemper, the First Missionary Bishop of the Episcopal Church. The Reverend is known for planting missions to spread the word of God. Nashotah House, through its mission to form religious and lay leaders for the Church, continues his legacy.

A critical element in carrying out the House’s mission is philanthropy. The Jackson Kemper Annual Fund enables the

House to bridge the sizeable gap between tuition revenue and operating expenses. Whether gifts are given for the House’s greatest need, or directed to a specific need such as the Bishop Parson’s Scholarship Fund, all gifts are welcome and appreciated.

On behalf of our students, faculty, and the broader Church community that benefits from the House’s graduates, we thank you for your kind generosity.

Constrained by the undying love of Christ to love the immortal souls of our

fellow beings–let us be ready for the privilege, if it is ever conferred, to scatter the

precious seed on every field–to erect the banner of the cross on every mountain.
