The University of Arizona Division for Late Medieval and Reformation Studies joins with St. Philip's to present their annual summer lecture series, entitled "Protestantism and the Anglican Church in the Seventeenth Century." This series of lectures depicts major events in this unstable but exciting century, one in which the Anglican Church played a major part. There will be two more Sunday sessions at 10:15 a.m. in the Music Center: August 23 (Religious Issues in the English Revolution. "'Puritans, Hereticks, Schismaticks, Sectaries, [and] disturbers of the publike peace': The Role of Religion in the English Civil Wars, 1642-1651." Kristen Coan, doctoral student, presenting) and August 30 ("'Such a dispensing power hath often been declared illegal': the Seven Bishops as Midwives of the Glorious Revolution." Adam Bonikowske, doctoral student, presenting). You are invited to attend and help support these future scholars of Reformation history.

"Seasoned" Singles are invited to get together for a simple lunch in the East Gallery after the 11:15 a.m. service on Sunday, August 30. We will share the cost of the meal (usually about $7) when we gather.  RSVP to Jo Ann Alldredge or call 307-3379 or Bob Stanton or call 578-6254. "Seasoned" Singles welcomes all single "seasoned" (senior) men and women, widowed, divorced, or never married.

We offer the opportunity to all children ages 4 through high school to join one of the premier children's choir programs in the Southwest. Weekly rehearsals and twice-monthly Sunday morning church services offer music, fellowship, and formation. Children also lead monthly Choral Evensong on one Sunday afternoon each month during the choir season, October-May. We are the only children's choir to offer this beautiful ancient service in Arizona! It is not necessary to be a member of St. Philip's to belong to our choir! Opportunities include music education, yearly scholarships to attend outstanding summer courses held by the Royal School of Church Music in America, and periodic choir trips in the US and the UK. The friendships built in choir last a lifetime, and the musical and leadership skills are a lifelong gift. Come join us! For more information, please contact St. Philip's Director of Music Woosug Kang or call 299-6421, ext. 19.

St. Philip's adult choirs welcome all who can sing and fulfill attendance requirements. There are two adult choirs. The St. Philip's Singers lead worship at the 9 a.m. service on Sunday mornings September through May and on special feast days. Canterbury Choir is an auditioned, select ensemble devoted to the performance of the finest sacred music in the context of the liturgy. The choir sings at the 11:15 a.m. Eucharist on Sunday mornings, and at several weekday liturgies during the church year, September-May. In addition, they perform concerts both in Tucson and Southern Arizona. Music repertoire spans the entire Western musical history, from Gregorian chant to Arvo Part. A high standard of commitment and vocal excellence, as well as skilled sight-singing ability, is expected. Auditions for all voice parts will be held in late August. Please contact Woosug Kang or call 299-6421, ext. 19, to schedule an audition.
