Bishops, priests challenge Amazon Synod working doc for 'contradicting' Catholic faith
Diane Montagne
In view of the upcoming Amazonian Synod, an international group of Catholic prelates, priests and laity, who have chosen to remain anonymous due to a "climate of intimidation" in the Church, today addressed a brief statement to Pope Francis and the synod fathers identifying four areas of the working document which they say are "contradictory" to the Catholic faith.
The Oct. 1 statement (see below), issued by a group which calls itself the Coetus Internationalis Patrum Working Group (International Group of Fathers), states:
We, numerous bishops, priests, and Catholic faithful from all over the world, hereby affirm that the Instrumentum Laboris prepared for the coming Synodal assembly raises serious questions and very grave reservations, because of its contradiction of individual points of Catholic doctrine which have always been taught by the Church, as well as its contradiction of faith in Jesus Christ, the One Savior of all mankind.
Using what it calls a "classical method," the group summarizes into four "propositions" or "theses" the main points of the Instrumentum Laboris, which they regard as "unacceptable." The group then contrasts them specific magisterial texts to support their position.
Edward Pentin of the National Catholic Register, who was among the first to report on the statement, explained that the group is named after "the most influential interest group at the Second Vatican Council which submitted numerous amendments to conciliar documents in a bid to uphold tradition."
He also noted that, "although 'numerous' bishops, priests and laity share the concerns, no names will be revealed 'because of the growing climate of intimidation and purges present in the Roman Curia and in the Church in general.'"
The Instrumentum laboris will form the basis of discussions at the Oct. 6-27 Special Synod of Bishops on the Amazon, being held at the Vatican.
Four areas of concern
The IL calls on the Church to "integrate" other non-Catholic "modalities" of "being Church."
The first area of concern noted by the group is the working document's call to respect "Amazonian diversity" which means "to recognize that there are other paths to salvation, without reserving salvation exclusively to the Catholic faith." The working document calls on the Church to "integrate" other non-Catholic Christian "modalities" of "being Church."
The group of prelates, priests and laity contrasts this assertion with the teaching of Dominus Iesus, the declaration issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 2000, which reiterates that "the universal salvific will of the One and Triune God is offered and accomplished once for all in the mystery of the incarnation, death, and resurrection of the Son of God" (14) and "the unicity (oneness and uniqueness) of the Church founded by him" (16) must be "firmly believed as a truth of Catholic faith."
The second area of concern is the working document's assertion that Pan-Amazonian theology is required in all educational institutions (IL 98, c3) and the proposal that the Church "adapt the Eucharistic rite to their cultures" (IL 126 d).
The group rejects this assertion again on the basis of Dominus Iesus, which reiterates that "it would be contrary to the faith to consider the Church as one way of salvation alongside those constituted by the other religions." While affirming that "some prayers and rituals of the other religions may assume a role of preparation for the Gospel," it firmly states that "one cannot attribute" to them a "divine origin" or the "salvific efficacy" which is "proper to the Christian sacraments."
The third point of contention is the notion that the "territory [of the Amazon] and the cry of its peoples" is in some way a place of revelation and source of theology — like Sacred Scripture, the Councils and the Fathers of the Church.
The Coetus Internationalis Patrum rejects this notion, citing the Vatican II dogmatic constitution on divine revelation Dei Verbum, which reasserts the nature of divine revelation, its closure with the death of the last Apostle, and the sacred bond between Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the teaching authority of the Catholic Church (4, 7, 10).
Lastly, the group rejects the "new vision of Holy Orders" proposed by the synod's working document, which they argue "does not come from Revelation, but from the cultural usages of the Amazonian people." This new vision includes the proposal that "ordination be conferred on older persons who have families" and that "official ministries" be conferred on women.
The group opposes this "new vision" on the basis of five magisterial texts, including the Vatican II dogmatic constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, and its decree on the ministry and life of priests, Presbyterorum Ordinis; Pope Paul VI's encyclical on priestly celibacy, Sacerdotalis Coelibatus; Pope John Paul II's apostolic exhortation on the formation of priests, Pastores Dabo Vobis; and his apostolic letter on reserving the priesthood only to men, Ordinatio Sacerdotalis.
Cardinal Brandmüller
Today's statement comes as the latest in a chorus of voices criticizing the synod's working document. In June, German Cardinal Walter Brandmüller, president emeritus of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences, warned that "decisive points" in the working document are "heretical" and that "inasmuch as even the fact of Divine Revelation is here being questioned or misunderstood" we may speak of "apostasy."
Here below is the full statement by the Coetus Internationalis Patrum Working Group (International Group of Fathers).
To the Pope and the Synod Fathers:
We, numerous bishops, priests, and Catholic faithful from all over the world, hereby affirm that the Instrumentum Laboris prepared for the coming Synodal assembly raises serious questions and very grave reservations, because of its contradiction of individual points of Catholic doctrine which have always been taught by the Church, as well as its contradiction of faith in Jesus Christ, the One Savior of all mankind. We have drawn up, following the classical method, four propositions in the form of "theses" summarizing the main points of the Instrumentum Laboris. In conscience and with great frankness, we affirm that the teaching of these theses is unacceptable.
1. Amazonian diversity, which is above all religious diversity, evokes a new Pentecost (IL 30): respect for this diversity means to recognize that there are other paths to salvation, without reserving salvation exclusively to the Catholic faith. Non-Catholic Christian groups teach other modalities of being Church, without censures, without dogmatism, without ritual disciplines and ecclesial forms (IL 138); the Catholic Church ought to integrate these modalities. Reserving salvation exclusively to the Creed is destructive of the Creed (IL 39).
Against this, among other texts: Dominus Iesus 14 and 16.
2. The teaching of Pan-Amazonian theology, which takes special account of myths, rituals, and celebrations of indigenous cultures, is required in all educational institutions (IL 98 c 3). Non-Christian rites and celebrations are proposed as "essential for integral salvation" (IL 87) and we are asked to "adapt the Eucharistic rite to their cultures" (IL 126 d). On rituals: IL 87, 126.
Church should "adapt the Eucharistic rite to their cultures"
Against this: Dominus Iesus 21.
3. Among the various Loci Theologici (that is, among the various sources of theology, such as Sacred Scripture, the Councils, the Fathers of the Church) there is included the territory [of the Amazon] and the cry of its peoples. (IL 18, 19, 94, 98 c 3, 98 d 2, 144).
Against this: Dei Verbum 4, 7, 10.
4. It is suggested that ordination be conferred on older persons who have families and to confer "official ministries" on women. There is thus proposed a new vision of Holy Orders which does not come from Revelation, but from the cultural usages of the Amazonian people (which provide for a rotating system of authority, among other things). Therefore, there ought to be separation made between the priesthood and the munus regendi (IL 129 a 2, 129 a 3, 129 c 2).
Against this: Lumen Gentium 21, Presbyterorum Ordinis 13, Pastores Dabo Vobis 26; and also: the entire document Sacerdotalis Coelibatus, especially 21 and 26, Ordinatio Sacerdotalis 1, 3 and 4; Pastores Dabo Vobis 29.

UNITED STATES corporation Government
Notice to all those who work in and/or for
the UNITED STATES corporation Government
and those who carry badges:
You are aiding and abetting the enemy known as the B.A.R. association!
Be warned ! You will face the wrath of the people you have assisted the enemy in oppressing!
~We the people
The United States is a Corporation
If what is stated below is true we are all members of a "FRINGE" group.
The United States 'government' is actually the United States Corporation. It was created behind the screen of a 'Federal Government' when, after the manufactured 'victory' in the American War on 'Independence', the British colonies exchanged overt dictatorship from London for the far more effective covert dictatorship that has been in place ever since.
In effect, the Virginia Company, the corporation headed by the British Crown that controlled the 'former' colonies, simply changed its name to the United States of America and other related pseudonyms. These include the US, USA, United States of America, Washington DC, District of Columbia (Samurais) and the President of the Corporation is known as the President of the United States.
This is an accurate title given that one is the names for the Corporation is the 'United States'. He or she is not the President of the people or the country as they are led to believe - that's just the smokescreen.
Rush Limbaugh said Obama was acting like a CEO. This could be because he is a CEO.
You may have noticed that the national flag of the United States always has a gold fringe when displayed in court or federal buildings, and you see this also in federally-funded schools and on the uniforms of US troops.
Under the International Law of the Flags, a gold fringe indicates the jurisdiction of commercial law, also known as British Maritime Law and, in the US, as the Uniform Commercial Code or UCC.
The gold fringe is not part of the American flag known as the Stars and Stripes, but it is a legal symbol indicating that the court, government building, school or soldier is operating under British Maritime Law and the Uniform Commercial Code; military and merchant law.
UCC CODE
1871, February 21: Congress Passes an Act to Provide a Government for the District of Columbia, also known as the Act of 1871 (Act of 1871)
With no constitutional authority to do so, Congress creates a separate form of government for the District of Columbia, a ten mile square parcel of land (see, Acts of the Forty-first Congress," Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and 62). Act 1871 allows the "Corp US" to control the country in the place of the natural Government
What Congress did by passing the Act of 1871 was create an entirely new document, a constitution for the government of the District of Columbia, an INCORPORATED government. This newly altered Constitution was not intended to benefit the Republic. It benefits only the corporation of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and operates entirely outside the original (organic) Constitution.
Instead of having absolute and unalienable rights guaranteed under the organic Constitution, we the people now have "relative" rights or privileges. One example is the Sovereign's right to travel, which has now been transformed (under corporate government policy) into a "privilege" that requires citizens to be licensed.
(Passports) By passing the Act of 1871, Congress committed TREASON against the People who were Sovereign under the grants and decrees of the Declaration of Independence and the organic Constitution.
In 1871 the American Government was officially transformed into a legal Corporation. All American citizens officially lost their right for sovereignty. The District of Columbia has become a separate entity, not a part of America as we knew it, equipped with it's own flag and its own laws. In-debted to foreign investors, the interest of this new Corporation transferred from American citizens to that of a select 'elite' group of private Bankers.
What is the name of the group of private bankers? THE FEDERAL RESERVE - a private for-profit corporation owned and run by Rothschild, using worthless (fiat) 'money'. This organization of criminal banksters has absolutely no interest in helping our nation, but only in controlling and manipulating the nation's financial system for their profit. http://www.tax-freedom.com/ta24000.htm ; http://www.globalresearch.ca/25-fast-facts-about-the-federal-reserve-biggest-ponzi-scheme-in-world-history/5373609 ; https://www.corbettreport.com/federalreserve/ ; https://youtu.be/DyV0OfU3-FU?list=PLE88E9ICdipidHkTehs1VbFzgwrq1jkUJ

Hopefully by now enough people have learned to read on their own and can see through this corporate maritime nonsense. If not, voting for Trump was a complete waste of time. You may as well have voted for Clinton. Why is it that the people who peddle this nonsense have not changed or accomplished anything except to file a bunch of useless papers and make a lot of noise?
Be informed: "Their" Oath of Office is their ONLY link to alleged jurisdiction over you. For that reason, demand to be informed (by them) which oath they gave; was it to the Original Organic Constitution for the united States of America, or was it to THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 1871. You see, once you ACCEPT their oath, that completes a contract. They are now under contract to serve you.
Thank you Mr BAR Lawyer for your opinion without merit. Prepare for reeducation from WE THE PEOPLE.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki (天地無用! 魎皇鬼, Tenchi Muyō! Ryōōki ?) is a twenty episode collection of OVAs produced by AIC, initially released in Japan in 1992. The first two OVA series were later licensed and distributed in North America by Pioneer LDC, with FUNimation Entertainment taking over the rights for the third (and latest) series.
The distribution of the first OVA series was originally started in September 1992 and released six episodes that lasted until 1993. The first series was so successful that a seventh special episode was released in January 1994, followed by a Second OVA series with six additional episodes that begun distribution in September 1994 and lasted for one year until September 1995. However the Second OVA series ended on a cliffhanger and it wasn't until nearly eight years later in 2003 that a third OVA series was distributed in Japan. The third OVA series ended the Tenchi Muyo OVA storyline with six episodes, followed by a special episode released in September 2005 that concluded the storyline.
A teenager that accidentally releases an alien space pirate, thereby drawing the attention of other space faring individuals. His actions unintentionally cause the destruction of his school and the revelation that he himself is part of the powerful Juraian race, and a member of their royal family. In the 1st OAV it is revealed that he can create Lighthawk Wings (the power of the godsesses and Jurai ships) himself without the aid of a royal tree (Tenchi has no Royal Tree but possesses both Yosho's sword key for tree Funaho and a bracelet to draw power from tree Tsunami) when generating his own Lighthawk Wings, Tenchi can also perform energy-matter conversion.
A princess of the Jurai Royal Family, she is searching the galaxy for her half-brother Yosho with her sister Sasami when she detects Ryoko (whom Yosho had been pursuing prior to his disappearance) her tree-ship Ryu-Oh crashes on Earth, where she reluctantly joins Tenchi and Ryoko.
A member of the powerful Kuramitsu family of the Seniwa empire and a Detective of the Galaxy Police (which is also under Kuramitsu control) Mihoshi is prone to clumsiness and can act ditsy, despite being highly intelligent. Mihoshi is distantly related to Washu, and through that lineage has the power of inprobably good luck. She crashes on Earth while looking for Kagato.
A former student of Washu (revealed in spin-off media as a creation of hers) In the pursuit of science he frequently pillages ruins for relics with no regard to life or property, earning him the nickname 'Ruins Buster' and status of Eternally Wanted by the Galaxy Police. Kagato is the main antagonist of the 1st OAV making an attempt to recover Ryoko (whom he previously brainwashed into serving him) and use the power of her gems to capture Tsunami.
A former colleague and academic rival of Washu from the Galaxy Academy, he is in service to Lady Tokimi in OAV 2 (in which he is the primary adversary) and is ordered by her to capture Washu and bring her to Tokimi. Clay uses the shape-shifting android Zero to replace Ryoko and capture Washu. However he is outsmarted by Washu, captured and handed over to the Galaxy Police.
The third choushin Goddess and sister of Tsunami and Washu, Tokimi appears in OAV 2 ordering Doctor Clay to retrieve Washu for her. Tokimi also instigates the events that lead to Z's actions in OAV 3, though she both orders Clay not to harm Washu and Z not to interfere with Tenchi. While Tsunami and Washu were experimenting within the universe to try to discover an even higher level being, Tokimi was left in-charge of the universe and controls it from Hyper-dimension through dimensional supervisors and conducts higher order chaos experiments. Though Tokimi's actions lead to trouble for Tenchi and his group, Tokimi turns out not to be a true villain as there was no malice in her actions but simply lacked the wisdom of her sisters.
An anomalous being capable of creating Lighthawk Wings created through the experiments of Lady Tokimi, he is the prime antagonist of the 3rd OAV stalking Tenchi and his household, setting up a confrontation between Tenchi and Misao Kuramitsu and ultimately battling Tenchi to prove his superiority and disrupt the choushin plans. Z is portrayed as suffering from the loss of his family and resentful of the Goddesses and their meddling, despite serving Tokimi.
An anomalous being capable of repelling and suppressing the power of the Choushin Goddesses as well as causing them physical injury (visually appearing to corrupt their body, turning them black). Z found her in the future and used her in his plans to kill Tenchi and stop the Goddesses' experiments. The counter-actor is stopped by a kiss from Tenchi and is revealed to be Masaki Misaki Jurai (The 2nd Empress of Jurai and mother of Ayeka and Sasami) from some point in the future.
For other characters within the OVA continuity that make a brief appearance in the OAV series, see also: Tenchi Muyo! GXP.
Tenchi has three classmates are as they follow: Kazuhiko Amagasaki who appears briefly in Episode 1 where he hears Tenchi's story and when Amagasaki makes an insensitive comment, that Tenchi must have been so desperate that he slept with a mummy, it resulted in Tenchi punching Amagasaki pointing out to him that he should get a life.
In the first episode of OVA 3, Tenchi came to revisit his old school, which was being rebuilt after Ryoko destroyed it. It was here that he met his old friends Kamikura and Ikeda, who wanted to know if Tenchi was living with a group of foreign girls, as Amagasaki had told them about. When Tenchi was trying to make up a believable story, Ikeda was writing down the story on a notepad for the school newspaper and even wanted to go over there to interview the girls, much to Tenchi's chagrin. They also revealed that Amagasaki had transferred to a school in Tokyo which is why he came over to Tenchi's house and left Kamikura and Ikeda with a message for Tenchi: "So long, Traitor!"
Other than appearing in OVA 1 in a minor appearance, Amagasaki is also a recurring character in Tenchi in Tokyo.
A Wau by birth, the Galactic Police commander answers directly to the G.P.'s marshal, Minami Kuramitsu. He appeared once in OAV 1, episode 4, then again in the final episode in OAV 2. His desk is always covered with a lot of paperwork, mostly concerning Mihoshi Kuramitsu... misconduct reports, complaints... and a lot of bills for the damages she caused.
Nobeyama is Mihoshi Kuramitsu's immediate superior in the Galaxy Police. He is constantly worrying about his future, since Mihoshi usually doesn't listen when he gives her assignments. He is also secretly a member of Jurai Intelligence, and relayed Mihoshi's report on the Kagato incident, since it contained sensitive information about Jurai's royal trees.
Yukinojyo is the name of Mihoshi Kuramitsu's spacecraft, as well as the artificial intelligence that operates it. The A.I. is always trying to help out Mihoshi, despite her bungling.
First appearing in OAV 1 episode 4, she is Tenchi's great aunt, who is also the owner of a hot springs resort. Tenchi, Nobuyuki, Ryoko, Aeka, Sasami, and Ryo-Ohki traveled to relax in the hotsprings on their vacation. However, the building surrounding her springs were badly damaged by the monster that Ryoko had summoned and she was almost attacked by the monster and then demanded an explanation shortly after Mihoshi had arrived.
Not willing to forgive any guests who had damaged her resort, in OVA 2 episode 9, she had Tenchi and his extended family come back to fix the damages, and showing how strict she is, had them get to work when they arrived (including Nobuyuki and Katsuhito). However, since Washu was not with the group last time, she and Sasami were excused from work as the onsen keeper wasn't planning on making the children work (of course, she had no idea Washu was actually 20,000 years old, which Washu used to her advantage).
Tenchi's infant cousin, he appears in the first episode of OVA 2. When his mother becomes ill, his grandmother, Tenchi's aunt Kasumi, sends Taro to live with Tenchi and the girls until his mother got better. Although it went smooth at first, the demands Taro places on Ryoko, Ayeka, and Mihoshi becomes too much for them to handle. Then out of chance, Washu helps out, easing the burden, and taking on the job singlehandedly with the experience that she had with her own son Mikumo.
Strangely, it was because of Washu that Taro spoke his first words, he called Washu, "Mama", which brought her memories of her son Mikumo to the forefront.
Mass, or Masu, are communal creatures allegedly discovered by Naja Akara, and what Washu Hakubi used to create Ryoko and Ryo-Ohki. These creatures have anti-matter capabilities, and often pattern their thought patterns after the strongest mind they find. Washu had some of these creatures in her lab when Ryo-Ohki stumbled onto them. Somehow, these creatures caught on to the little cabbit's thought patterns (which included her feelings for Tenchi) and fused themselves into a single creature.
Because the Masu tend to destroy anyone who threatens them, the girls tried to stop the Masu creature from harming Tenchi. In the attempt, Ryo-Ohki attacked the creature, and was about to be destroyed when Washu ordered the cabbit to assimilate it. In doing so, Ryo-Ohki can now assume a humanoid form, as well as existing in two forms when Ryo-Ohki assumes ship form.
D3 is a dimensional supervisor, specifically the supervisor of the 3rd dimension. He serves Lady Tokimi and the other Chousin (Tsunami directed an order to D3 about the state of Tenchi's powers during his battle with Z). He first appeared before Dr. Clay when he arrived to demand to see Tokimi to make his report and confirm the person that she is searching for. Although D3 pointed he could also confirm that person, he immediately disappeared when Tokimi agreed to Clay's terms of speaking with her. After Tokimi ordered Clay to bring Washu to her, D3 pointed to Clay not to hurt Washu.
After Dr. Clay's capture, D3 is surprised to see that Tenchi Masaki is capable of matter conversion, but is only capable of generating three Light Hawk Wings. D3 also applies the necessary treatments on Dr. Clay and his robot servant Zero (who was merged with Ryoko Hakubi) in order to block off all memories pertaining to Tokimi to help conceal her existence.
D3 is also aware that Z is planning to disobey Tokimi's orders of not harming Tenchi. D3 later observes Z's final battle against Tenchi with the other interdimensional directors.
Nakita is the father of Mihoshi and Misao and a military officer that briefly appears at the end of episode 16. He pointedly questions Minami Kuramitsu as to why he is sending the Chobimaru to Earth with Misao to rescue Mihoshi without his authorization. Nakita warns him that since Earth is an undeveloped world, he would risk having the Earthlings see it and cause a general panic. After realizing that Minami intends to destroy the Earth, Nakita knows that Minami is risking a war between the Kuramitsu family and Jurai and also points out that he has a message that Mikami Kuramitsu will sell one of his garden planets if the Chobimaru were to be damaged in the attack. Nakita then gave Minami the other message from Lady Seto that she will buy the planet and enjoy watching Minami squirm, as she only intends to watch.
Misao Kuramitsu's assistant onboard the Choubimaru.
Kiyone Masaki (not to be confused with Kiyone Makibi) is the mother of Tenchi and Tennyo Masaki, as well as the younger sister of Minaho Masaki. Although she was a loving, kind person and an excellent cook (she had taught Rea Masaki how to cook), she also inherited the playful spirit of her mother Airi Masaki, such as pulling pranks and doing things in an outlandish fashion, which became extreme just before her death (she had once wrote 'baka' (stupid-head in the FUNimation dub) on Seina's forehead as the boy slept). She had even concoted a tale about how she died (with help from her mother Airi Masaki), however, the story made no sense whatsoever. In truth, she has died peacefully; at the age of 248 years.
These are the muscle that Mashisu Makibi had accompany her when she tried to have Ryoko Hakubi framed by destroying the Choubimaru. Baguma is the more muscular of them, and also had telepathic abilities. Sorunāru relies on spider-like battle-mechas, while Fujimasa uses mechas resembling wolves.
These three were supposed to capture three of the women in Tenchi's house; Ryoko, Ayeka, and Washu, while Mashisu captured Sasami. Of course, none of them were able to accomplish this task (Sorunāru's spider mechas were demolished by Ryoko, Ayeka and Ryo-Ohki handled Fujimasa's wolf mechas... with the mechas totally scared of Ryo-Ohki, and when Baguma failed to subdue Washu, Seto and Noike, Washu took care of Baguma by hitting him in the head with a mallet) and they were captured themselves. The three were later taken aboard Tsunami-fune, where they were treated to a party, which also featured Shinju sake - a wine made from the fruit of Jurai's royal trees and so rare, a bottle sells for the price of an entire planet!
Sasami's nursemaid who appears in episode 9 in OVA 2, she is searching for Sasami during Ryoko's attack on Jurai.
The English-dubbed version of OVA 1 and 2 was picked up by Cartoon Network in 2000 for broadcast on its Toonami block (US and Europe). The Toonami version was edited for content, and featured custom opening and closing credits.
After Cartoon Network's rights to broadcast the show expired, International Channel picked up the rights to air the dubbed version in 2004.
Presently the episodes of OVA 3 have not been aired on basic cable television. However, the Funimation channel had the third season in rotation for a time.
Background music/score was composed by Seikou Nagaoka.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki (天地無用! 魎皇鬼, Tenchi Muyō! Ryōōki?) is a twenty episode collection of OVAs produced by AIC, initially released in Japan in 1992. The first two OVA series were later licensed and distributed in North America by Pioneer LDC, with FUNimation Entertainment taking over the rights for the third (and latest) series. The distribution of the first OVA series was originally started in September 1992 and released six episodes that lasted until 1993. The first series was so successful that a seventh special episode was released in January 1994, followed by a Second OVA series with six additional episodes that begun distribution in September 1994 and lasted for one year until September 1995. However the Second OVA series ended on a cliffhanger and it wasn't until nearly eight years later in 2003 that a third OVA series was distributed in Japan. The third OVA series ended the Tenchi Muyo OVA storyline with six episodes, followed by a special episode released in September 2005 that concluded the storyline.

Politics|Trump Says 'There Is No Longer a Nuclear Threat' After Kim Jong-un Meeting
Trump Says 'There Is No Longer a Nuclear Threat' After Kim Jong-un Meeting

By Eileen Sullivan
WASHINGTON — President Trump returned to the United States early on Wednesday praising his diplomatic prowess after his meeting with the North Korean leader and declaring, "There is no longer a Nuclear Threat" from Pyongyang.
Just landed - a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!
Before taking office people were assuming that we were going to War with North Korea. President Obama said that North Korea was our biggest and most dangerous problem. No longer - sleep well tonight!
In a series of Twitter posts at dawn, the president projected confidence as Air Force One landed outside Washington. After his summit meeting with Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, in Singapore, Mr. Trump appeared to be taking a victory lap even as critics cautioned that the nuclear threat from North Korea is far from over.
But questions remained about whether the United States gave up more than it gained what had been a much-anticipated meeting between Mr. Trump and Mr. Kim.
North Korea state media reported on Wednesday that Mr. Kim won major concessions from the American president, including an agreement by Mr. Trump to a phased, "step-by-step" denuclearization process for the North, rather than the immediate dismantling of its nuclear capability.
American hard-liners like John R. Bolton, now Mr. Trump's national security adviser, have opposed that approach. In the past, Mr. Bolton had argued that the North must quickly dismantle and ship out its nuclear weapons program in its entirety, as Libya did more than a decade ago.
The official Korean Central News Agency also reported that Mr. Trump promised to eventually lift sanctions against the North and cease military exercises with South Korea.
In one tweet on Wednesday, Mr. Trump pushed back against criticism that he had handed a victory to Mr. Kim by promising to end those exercises, which he described as "war games."
A joint statement signed by the two leaders did not include a timeline for denuclearization or details about how the North would move forward. Instead, the document — which many had hoped would be a road map for a nuclear agreement — was filled with diplomatic language that had been used in previous statements over the past 20 years.
The president had no public events on his schedule for Wednesday, but was busy tweeting on a variety of topics, including praise for the United States, Mexico and Canada for winning the bid to host soccer's 2026 World Cup.
Mr. Trump also touted his political influence in a House Republican primary race in South Carolina that ousted the incumbent, Representative Mark Sanford, in favor of a conservative challenger, Katie Arrington. On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Trump had tweeted that Mr. Sanford, an outspoken critic of the president, is "nothing but trouble."
And Mr. Trump attacked cable news networks and said the networks were trying to "downplay" the agreement with North Korea and said it looked like "war would break out," during his early days in the Oval Office. He also said America's biggest enemy is "Fake News."
The danger posed by North Korea was considered among the "leading threat actors" by United States Intelligence agencies, according to its 2016 assessment, which was the most recent public assessment when Mr. Trump assumed office in January of 2017.
The 2018 threat assessment, released in February, also listed North Korea as a top threat, calling the North "among the most volatile and confrontational" weapons of mass destruction threat over the next year. A month before the threat assessment was released, Mr. Trump taunted Mr. Kim on Twitter and raised concerns about an escalating conflict.
"Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!" Mr. Trump wrote in a January tweet.
On Tuesday, at the end off the hourslong meetings in Singapore, Mr. Trump praised Mr. Kim as "talented."
"Anybody that takes over a situation like he did at 26 years of age and is able to run it and run it tough — I don't say it was nice, or I don't say anything about it — he ran it," Mr. Trump said, glossing over the decades of human rights abuses North Koreans have faced.
Mr. Kim is known for his brutal style, ordering the executions of at least 340 people since he took over power from his father in 2011.
Still, the president acknowledged that there no certainty that the North will get rid of its nuclear weapons.
"You can't ensure anything. All I can say is they want to make a deal. That's what I do. My whole life has been deals. I've done great at it, and that's what I do," Mr. Trump said in a news conference with reporters on Tuesday after the meetings.
"And I know when somebody wants to deal, and I know when somebody doesn't," Mr. Trump said. "A lot of politicians don't. That's not their thing, but it is my thing."

In 1708 Johann Sebastian Bach secured an appointment as organist and chamber musician to Duke Wilhelm Ernst at Weimar, during which tenure the Prelude and Fugue in G major, BWV 541 was originally written (it was revised 1742, after the composer had taken up his final appointment in Leipzig). ThePrelude opens with a single melodic line that descends, then rises to greet the entry of the pedals and a fuller chordal texture. The key of G major is among the brightest in the compass, and radiates a mood of magnificence and elation (in German, the same word, Stimmung, denotes both "tuning" and "mood"), which Bach tempers throughout the piece with short excursions into more serious and reflective keys. The theme of the Fugue was taken from Bach's earlier choral cantata "I had so much distressand woe within my heart" and here again, the use of the G major key dispenses a feeling of relief from such worries. The subject is first announced in the alto voice, answered in the tenor, followed by the bass in the pedals and finally the soprano, continuing on an impressive scale to conclude with a sustained upper note, followed by a final tonic pedal below.
Poet and soldier, misanthrope and philospher, Frederick the Great was a contradictory, almost unfathomable man. His conquests made him one of the most formindable and feared leaders of his era. But as a patron of artists and intellectuals, Frederick re-created Berlin as one of the continent's great cities, matching his state's reputation for military ferocity with one for cultural achievement. He was an accomplished flutist, and wrote many works for his instrument, including 121 sonatas.
Blind from earliest childhood, Yorkshire-born Alfred Hollins long cherished an ambition to become a concert pianist, and at the age of 19 performed three piano concertos (by Beethoven, Liszt and Schumann) during one concert in Berlin. However his disability prompted him to follow a career as an organist, in which capacity he served St George's West Church, Edinburgh from 1897 until his death. Famed as a recitalist on several continents, Hollins was fluent in the art of improvisation, and left a sizeable corpus of organ music, much of which – after long neglect – has now been re-published. A Trumpet Minuet was written in 1929, and first played at St George's West during a large evening gathering of Church of Scotland ministers, who doubtless found this music less solemn than their own proceedings.
The Andante in C, scored originally for flute solo with an orchestra of two oboes, two horns and strings, was likely written by Mozart in Mannheim early in 1778, having been commissioned by a Dutchman called De Jean. The single movement has a charm of its own, with its brief plucked string introduction, a recurrent element, and poignant melodic material.
Although regarded as only a minor composer in French musical circles during his lifetime, Theodore Dubois nevertheless won the coveted Premier Grand Prix de Rome in 1861, and became Maitre de Chapelle at César Franck's church (St. Clothilde) in 1866, eventually succeeding Saint-Saens at the Church of the Madeleine. The Toccata in G major is his best-known piece, the third of the first set of Douze Pièces pour orgue ou piano-pédalier. Like the Prelude and Fugue in G major of Bach, Dubois steers the piece through various tonalities, subtly creating a fascinating constellation of colors and moods. (The Toccata is heard from time to time as a wedding recessional; like the best nuptial pieces, it contains a quieter section in the middle, allowing the bride to cast a nostalgic glance back over her shoulder – before proceeding onward).
Sunday September 30, 2012: Tea (4-5 pm), Evensong (5 pm) and half hour Organ Recital for Michaelmas
SUNG BY THE ST. PAUL'S CHOIR, FAIRFIELD, CT
is a 50 voice choir consisting of treble boys and girls who sing together with an ensemble of skilled and carefully chosen adult altos, tenors, and basses. The boys and girls receive careful, systematic, and thorough training, and many study voice with one of the choir's professional section leaders. This represents one Connecticut reinterpretation of the Anglican choral tradition, founded in the cathedrals and collegiate chapels of England, where choirs of boys and men have sung daily services for nearly a thousand years, chanting the psalms and singing a magnificent and ever expanding repertoire of anthems and canticles.
Since 1996, the St. Paul's choir has enjoyed an artistic relationship with the noted British choirmaster Barry Rose (formerly of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, and St. Alban's and Guildford Cathedrals). Over the intervening years, the choir has come to be considered by many to be one of the outstanding choirs of its type in the United States. In recent years the choir has sung at many of the principal churches in New York City and at Carnegie Hall, and treble members have appeared to critical acclaim in Yale Opera productions at the Shubert Theater in New Haven. Since 1998, the choir has sung numerous services throughout the British Isles, specifically in the cathedrals in Norwich, Ely, St Albans, Exeter, Bristol, Edinburgh, and Durham. In July, 2011, the choir was in residence at Hereford, Worcester, and Gloucester Cathedrals. The choir also enjoys an ongoing artistic collaboration with The American Baroque Orchestra, directed by Mark Bailey.
Recital following Evensong played by Erik Eickhoff, Music Director, Westminster Presbyterian Church, West Hartford, with video projection of the organ console during the music.

WILMA JENSEN
An extensive career as a concert organist has taken WILMA JENSEN throughout the United States to play on such well-known instruments as those at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, The Riverside Church in New York City, and the West Point United States Military Academy. Having played for several Regional Conventions and three National Conventions of the American Guild of Organists, she is in demand as a recitalist, lecturer and clinician for choral workshops, church music workshops and organ master classes. Numerous European tours have taken her to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, West Germany, France, Poland, The Netherlands and England. In addition, she has made a recording for West German Broadcasting, Sender Freis Berlin.
Dr. Jensen earned her Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, where she was a student of Catharine Crozier and Harold Gleason. During that time she received the highly coveted Performer's Certificate in Organ. The artist received an Honorary Doctorate from Piedmont College in May 2004. Recognized as a successful teacher, Wilma Jensen has been on the faculties of Oklahoma City University, the Blair School of Music of Vanderbilt University, Scarritt Graduate School, and Indiana University, where she was a tenured professor.
With a long, active musical career, Dr. Wilma Jensen has always had a focus in three directions- Church Music, Teaching and Performance. Now Choirmaster/Organist Emerita of St. George's Episcopal Church, she was for 19 years Choirmaster/Organist, building the choir to a musical level which included an invitation to sing for the National Convention of the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) and an extended tour in Europe. On that tour, Dr. Jensen conducted St. George's Choir in their singing of the Sunday morning Mass at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. The Mass featured the Vierne Messe Solennelle, which was written for choir and two organs for Notre Dame Cathedral. Before the service, the choir sang an extended group of a cappella repertoire.
Dr. Jensen has made two professional solo recordings; Mors et Resurrecto (Arkay label) and Sketches and Improvisations(Pro Organo label), which is in the French Tradition. Both recordings were made on the Casavant Organ at St. George's Church. She also made two recordings conducting St George's Choir on the Pro Organo label.
Wilma Jensen has resumed her concert career performing extensively the last two years in organ recitals, conducting church choral and organ music workshops, and teaching organ master classes. In the 2004-2005 season she preformed at The Riverside Church in New York City, in Jacksonville, FL, Oklahoma City, Atlanta, Perkasie, Pennsylvania, and at First Congregational Church in Los Angeles on one of the largest church pipe organs in the world.
Wilma Jensen was Dean of the Nashville Chapter of the American Guild of Organists for 2006-2007.
In June 2005, the artist traveled to France where she played an organ recital at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris on Sunday afternoon, June 26. This was her fourth concert appearance at the Cathedral. The summer Sunday organ recitals often draw a crowd of approximately 5,000 people.
Dr. Jensen has just released a 2 DVD set Teaching Video entitled ORGANIZING NOTES IN SPACE – Developing Organ Technique and Musicality. On the Video she explains the development of various touches and teaches seven of her former students.

The harpsichord used in this concert was built in 1997 by Carl Dudash and decorated by Marilee Dudash. It incorporates a design feature found on just a handful of extant instruments from the 16th and 17th Centuries. The jacks that pluck the strings are arranged in three rows, or registers, that spread apart toward the bass. This produces great contrasts in timbre between registers giving the player an interesting variety of sounds from which to choose.
The instrument was originally commissioned by the late Richard P. Garmany, a great patron of the arts and a fine amateur musician. Before his death in 2008, Mr. Garmany established a fund to support both the arts and medical research.

A season preview party for Sacred Music at the Red Door, the new music series of St. John's Church
Our expanded series of musical offerings to the Parish and wider community began in September 2011. The name of the series makes reference to our front doors, with their traditional color of welcome and sanctuary. The series will help to establish St. John's as a destination for those seeking musical refreshment and excellence, drawing on the existing strengths of our choirs (and guest choirs and choir collaborations), architecture, organ, location, and Anglican heritage. The three main elements provided by the series to raise the visibility of St. John's in the wider community are: concerts, monthly evening worship (Evensong), and enhanced Sunday morning worship on more occasions throughout the year (with special offerings with instruments, or formats like Lessons and Carols).
In advance of the new program year, Sacred Music at the Red Door hosted a special event on Sunday, May 22, 2011 at the New Britain Museum of American Art. This event was free and open to the entire Parish, as a thank-you to leadership donors and to 'unveil' the plans for the season, to help generate some advance excitement in the larger arts community. From 5 to 7 p.m. (just after the museum closes to the general public), the event involved beverages and nibbles, a presentation about the Series and delivery of an exciting season brochure, brief musical entertainment, and a private tour of the world-famous Museum by its Director, parishioner Douglas Hyland. Included were a revelation of music in the visual arts, and an opportunity to consider music's transforming power in our lives. The musical entertainment was provided by Trio Cantabile (who also was the series's first concert performer in September), consisting of Margaret Beers, soprano; Amanda Evans, harp; and Stacy Cahoon, piano.
