Nisga’a (formerly spelled Nishga) is an indigenous Canadian language spoken by about 700 people in northwestern British Columbia near the Nass River; it is closely related and physically adjacent to Gitxsan. There are about 6000 members of the Nisga’a First Nation.

This is one of only two known Anglican liturgical translations into Nisga’a.  The earliest missionary and linguistic work in Nisgaa was conducted by James Benjamin McCullagh (1854-1921) who published A Nishga Version of Portions of the Book of Commmon Prayer in 1890. It included liturgical material as well as hymns, and it is listed by Griffiths as 121:1. Muss-Arnolt includes a brief discussion of this liturgical translation work in Chapter LXX of The Book of Common Prayer among the Nations of the World. A biography of Rev. McCullagh and story of his mission is online.

The bishop named in the intercessory prayers is Douglas Walter Hambidge whose strong connection to the Nisga’a Nation included his receiving a Nisga’a name (Walaks) and being adopted into a native clan. Hambidge was the seventh Bishop of Caledonia (1969-1980), seventh Bishop of New Westminster (1980-1993) and eighth Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of British Columbia (1981-1993). Most recently, he has served as principal of Saint Mark’s Theological College in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Noteworthy aspects of this liturgy, which was published in 1977, are its incorporation of prayers for the tribal council, the invitation of prayer by tribal elders, the inclusion of the bishop under his indigenous name rather than his western name in the intercessions, and the dismissal blessing to “Be the people of God in our village, in our valley and all the world.” The eucharistic prayer is an adaptation and translation of the Qu’Appelle Liturgy of 1969.

THE LORD’S SUPPER

One or more of the following sentences will be read

1.     Thus says the High and Lofty one, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and humble heart.”

2.     I will arise and go to my Father and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, I am not worthy to be called your son.”

3.     Seek the Lord while he may be found. Call upon him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to the Lord, that he may have mercy on him and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

4.     Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.

5.     God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

6.     If we confess our sins,
God is faithful and just
And will forgive our sins
and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I BELIEVE IN GOD, THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH.
I BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, HIS ONLY SON, OUR LORD.
HE WAS CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY.
HE SUFFERED UNDER PONTIUS PILATE,
WAS CRUCIFIED, DIED, AND
WAS BURIED.
HE DESCENDED TO THE DEAD.
ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE AGAIN.
HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN
AND IS SEATED AT THE RIGHT
HAND OF THE FATHER.
HE WILL COME AGAIN TO JUDGE
THE LIVING AND THE DEAD.
I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT,
THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH,
THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS,
THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS,
THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY,
AND THE LIFE EVERLASTING. AMEN!

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING

A hymn is sung

An offering of the community is presented in the form of bread and wine and money.

PEOPLE:        FATHER, WE OFFER YOU THESE GIFTS WHICH YOU HAVE GIVEN US, THIS BREAD, THIS WINE, THIS MONEY, WITH THEM WE OFFER OURSELVES, OUR LIVES, OUR WORK. AS THIS BREAD AND WINE BECOME THE BODY AND BLOOD OF THE LORD, SO MAY WE AND ALL YOUR HOLY CHURCH SHOW YOUR LOVE TO ALL PEOPLE; THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. AMEN!

PRIEST:    The Lord be with you!
PEOPLE:   AND WITH YOU ALSO!
PRIEST:     Lift up your hearts!
PEOPLE:    WE LIFT THEM UP TO THE LORD!
PRIEST:     Let us give thanks!
PEOPLE:    WE GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD OUR GOD!

PRIEST:     Truly it is right that we give thanks
to you at all times, and in all places,
 O Lord, Holy Father, Eternal God,
Creator and Preserver of all things.
Therefore, we join our voices with all the company of Heaven and all the powers
of Creation, in the endless song of praise:

PEOPLE:   HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, LORD GOD OF HOSTS, HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE FULL OF YOUR GLORY, THE HIGHEST GLORY IS YOURS, O LORD.
BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN YOUR NAME; THE HIGHEST GLORY IS YOURS!

PRIEST:  LORD, God, Creator and Father,
We thank you for the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ.
We give thanks that he has become one of us by sharing our life.
We give thanks that we are becoming one with him sharing his life.
Give us then Father, through this Thanksgiving, the true life and presence of our Lord.
Who in the same night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying:
“TAKE EAT, THIS IS MY BODY GIVEN FOR YOU,
DO THIS AND KNOW THAT I AM WITH YOU.”
Then after supper, he took the cup and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them saying:
“DRINK THIS, ALL OF YOU; THIS IS THE NEW AGREEMENT BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, MADE IN MY BLOOD. DO THIS, AS OFTEN AS YOU DRINK IT, AND KNOW THAT I AM WITH YOU.’
And so, Father,
We remember Christ’s death, his resurrection, his ascension, his sending of the Holy Spirit;
And rejoicing in his presence in the world,
We look for his coming again in glory.
Accept, Lord, our sacrifice and send on us here and on this Thanksgiving, the Holy Spirit of love and peace and strength; through Jesus Christ our Lord,
By who and with whom,
In the unity of the Holy Spirit, we praise you, our Father,
throughout all ages, world without end. AMEN!

After a short period of silence, the Priest shall say

The Cup of Blessing which we bless;
PEOPLE:    IT IS THE SHARING OF THE BLOOD OF CHRIST
PRIEST:     The Bread which we break:
PEOPLE:    IT IS THE COMMUNION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST.
PRIEST:     We who are many are one body;
PEOPLE:    FOR WE ARE ALL PARTAKERS OF THE ONE BREAD.
PRIEST      Let us pray:

ALL SAY:  OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN YOUR NAME BE HONOURED;
YOUR KINGDOM COME,
YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN,
GIVE US TODAY OUR DAILY BREAD,
AND FORGIVE US THE WRONG WE HAVE DONE,
AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO HAVE WRONGED US,
AND DO NOT BRING US TO THE TEST,
BUT SAVE US FROM EVIL,
FOR THE KINGDOM IS YOURS,
THE POWER AND THE GLORY,
FOR EVER. AMEN!
