(Episcopal News Service) As keynote speaker to the recent annual meeting of the Historical Society of the Episcopal Church, the Rev. Dr. J. Rebecca Lyman, Samuel Garrett professor of Church history at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific, challenged the assembled members and guests to explore how history informs their consciousness of themselves as Episcopalians, as Anglicans, and as Americans. Examining five contemporary publications --The Anglican Digest, Episcopal Life, The Living Church,Ruach, and The Witness-- Lyman reported that she discovered very few historical and scriptural references in articles about current events. "Is this an educational gap, an editorial oversight, or some cultural bias that the past is passe?" she asked. The society met at St. Mark's Church, Berkeley, California and re-elected as president Mary Donovan of Hunter College.
