Episcopalian Finds Out A Peter Scarlet Tribune Church Editor - Vj Brigham to City train parish for ordination as sacramental a in priest the Episcopal Church- I re ' , V1 vr- In an account T Why Me? become sacramental priests, to celebrate Mass at St. Michaels and at St. Johns in Logan, whose small year-rouncongregation is without a priest. I supported the plan, as we all did, Rev. Smith said. And we had anticipated the night when the parish would decide, by vote, which men would be the two. But there had been no public mention of names, and it had never occurred to the two of us who were selected that we might even be considered. Both of us had cast ballots for two other men. What followed was the most intensely lived period of time I have ever Rev. Smith said. experienced, Mental agony, sleepless nights too many to recall, sweaty palms, goose pimples. And long prayers for guidance. Rev. Smith, raised in S Pauls parish m Woodbury, Conn., has served at both St. Michael's and in Logan before St. Michaels was founded as a lay reader, vestryman, warden and as a church school teacher. wnat trans-pireafter being informed of his selection by his Rev pastor William Hannifin, rector of St. Rev. Michaels Episcopal Church Smith, 65, admitted I have never been so unprepared for a shock m my life. A sacramental priest in the Episcopal Church is trained as a priest to do specific duties m a particular parish. The scope of his duties is more limited than that of a seminary-trainepriest. of d Priests d Project TEAM The idea was not new, the retired waterfowl ecologist explained. We and several other Utah parishes had been the Rt. encouraged by our bishop to move into the Rev. E Otis Charles New Testament-styl- e ministry that project TEAM sets forth Teach Each a Ministry, Rev. Smith said. TEAMS bishop, William J. Gordon Jr , had visited us in 1972 and described how his former Diocese of Alaska had developed the old,'new concept of ministry as everybody's job. As in Alaska, Rev. Smith said, its not feasible to place paid, seminary-traine- d priests everywhere in Utah. Only about 1 2 million persons live in Utah and among that number, only 5,900 arc Episcopalians. Ciiies and towns are remote from one another, so the cost of travel and of priests has kept many people from being fed every Sunday by the Sacrament. While lay people play a large part in Episcopal worship, only someone ordained may officiate at the Holy Communion, chief Sunday service, he said. Set Apart All my life I had seen priests as beings set apart, he said. Whether or not I personally liked a particular priest, when he approached the altar to a begin the Mass he was a holy man man of God, sinless before Him. My family background had been puritanical, he continued Now every sm I had ever committed passed before me in review. I envisioned the Hand of God striking me down, if I ever sought the work of a priest, Rev. Smith said. He said he sought counsel on the matter from friends and family. Though everywhere encouraged, he said he continued to drift. Then I had a chance to talk with Bishop Gordon during our annual diocesan convention. I invited him to my mv room, explained my anguish that while, with proper training, I could do it, I considered myself in no way worthy. full-tim- e S.L., Logan He said Bishop Charles had proposed that two St. Michaels men train to He responded quietly. Didnt I realize that priests, like laymen, are guilty of sins, and that no sin is too great for God to forgive? The conversation was not long, but the bishop was most convincing. I went home feeling, for the first time, that a heavy load had been lifted from me. My decision came almost at once, and I committed myself to the program, Rev. Smith said.

Personal Thing The Old Testament principle of tithing was probably more strictly enforced than it should have been," Armstrong said We are not, we cannot be. spiritual policemen It's a deeply private, personal thing " The charges that church leaders diverted funds to their own uses is totally false, Armstrong said It cannot be denied, he added, that the trappings of the church, notably the campuses of Ambassador College, are ostentatiously expensive I knew we were going to be persecuted for it and I said so. Armstrong stated It is to be expected mat an institution which attracts as much money as the he church will be r.u- pected by said, but the churchs financial records are examined regularly by the government without incident.

The box at the top of the chart, the one to which all the lines eventually lead, has three initials GTA cmor Armstrong, 46, is the most visible and audible element of the church. It is his resonant baritone voice that is heard on 157 U.S radio stations. Ills direct grey-blueyes look out from the television screens in 100 American cities And it will be Mr. GTA. as church publications refer to him, who will eventually succeed his father, Herbert W Armstrong, as leader of the growing flock of the Worldwide Church of God (Its 511 churches throughout the world have about 65.0(H) members and an annual income of about $50 million). Between his broadcasting chores, his duties at the Pasadena, Calif, head quarters and his search for gMd elk hunting territory in Idaho, Armstrong makes brief visits to northern Minnesota several times each summer. Survives Split In 22 hours Armstrong constructed an image of a cult which has grown into a denomination, a church which survived its first major split to become more relaxed, more open. Everybody feels the church is healthier, stronger now than weve ever been. W'e have a far more tightly knit church structure. I guess weve matured to the point where we can tolerate various splinter groups and dissenters," Armstrong said. The incident which occasioned this d reflection was the resignation of a group of ministers m 197? The ministers charged variously that the church was too strict, that the church was to liberal and that the church leadership was corrupt or, m Garner Ted s case, immoral. Armstrong brushed aside the allegations as something every large organization or public figure is subject to. Certain ministers had plotted to take over large portions of the church, a plot I discovered. he explained. Divorce Policy or as Some of the doctrinal Armstrong would have it, procedural matters the dissenters objected to were already m the process of being mod-- , ified. Armstrong said Among those was the church's policy on divorce and remarriage, long a stumbling block for local ministers The church held that divorce was not acceptable under Gods law and any person who remarried while his divorced spouse was still alive was living ( in a state of adultery. Armstrong said he knew the policy was wrong but wanted to go through the proper procedure to change it. I never thought there was any sm' which could not be washed away in baptism, he said. The doctrine was changed m 197 1 and the action "removed one of the major stigmas from the church, Armstrong said Other church policies have been changed to positions which Armstrong said he has vigorously supported for years.
