Sewanee Theological Review 61:2 Editorial: Must the Weak Acquiesce? CHRISTOPHER BRYAN There is a deservedly famous moment in Thucydides’ Peloponnesian War when the Athenians have the much weaker Melians at their mercy. The Melians appeal for compassion to Athenians’ essential decency—to their sense of human rights. The Athenian generals’ reply is realpolitik at its worst. Rights, they declare, only exist between equals. The Athenians will do what they please with the Melians because they can: “the strong do what they have power to do and the weak acquiesce” (PW 5.s 89).1 In other words, might is right. Let bullies rule! The irony of the situation lies, however, in two facts of which Thucydides makes sure his audience is aware. One is that the Melians’ appeal is in essence precisely the appeal that the Athenians themselves made some decades earlier when faced by the might of the Persian Empire. The other is that the logic by which the Athenians now respond to the Melians is precisely the logic by which they in their turn will be crushed some years later by the might of Sparta. Such a pattern of events is, of course, not only to be found in pagan literature. It is in the Scriptures. The ancient Hebrews are 1 δυνατ δ ο προύχοντες πράσσουσι κα ο σθενε ς ξυγχωρο σιν. ὰ ὲ ἱ ὶ ἱ ἀ ῖ ῦ 316 CHRISTOPHER BRYAN oppressed by the Egyptians. They cry to God in their suffering, and God hears them and delivers them so that… so that what? According the Scriptural narrative, so that they in their turn can go to the Promised Land and oppress the Amorites and six other nations worse than they themselves have been oppressed. The Egyptians merely set the Israelites to hard tasks. On the grounds, however, that God “gave us this land” (Deut. 26.9) the Israelites now feel free to wipe out those other nations: “you must utterly destroy them. Make no covenant with them and show them no mercy” (Deut. 7:2). Now of course I am aware that there is in Scripture another narrative than this—indeed, I would say the dominant narrative, running in an entirely opposite direction. This second narrative speaks of all God’s creation as “very good” (Gen 1:31) and declares, indeed, that God’s people exists so that in Abraham’s seed, “all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:3; cf. 22:18)—an idea that is wonderfully developed in the Second Isaiah’s words to God’s servant—“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth” (Isa. 49:6). These words are in turn said of the infant Christ by the aged Simeon in the Temple at Jerusalem—Simeon’s song, Nunc dimittis, that Christians have been reciting in their evening prayers for millennia. Jesus himself is the light to enlighten the nations, and thereby also the glory of his people Israel (Luke 2:29-32). Jesus when lifted up from the earth is to draw “all people” to himself (John 12:32). All this goes without saying, or at least it ought to. And therein lies the rub. For it remains there is an element in us that EDITORIAL 317 prefers the former story, the brutal story, and is even willing to claim divine sanction for it, just so long, of course, as we are on the winning side. And it is a part of the Bible’s faithful witness not only to the graciousness of God but also to the sinfulness of humankind that it does not hide that fact—nor does it hide its results. Israel, like Athens, will in her turn suffer defeat and destruction at the hands of the powerful. The Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Persians, the Greeks, and the Romans: Israel must succumb to each of these mighty races in their time. Here, too, “the strong actually do what they can and the weak acquiesce.” The flip side of which, it turns out, is “they that take the sword shall perish with the sword” (Matt. 26:52). Alas, in succeeding centuries we seem in these matters to have learned little either from Thucydides or from the biblical narrative. A great Jewish biblical scholar, Jon D. Levenson, suggests that there is a parallel between the Bible’s account of Israel’s rapacious negation of the nations who had preceded her and the way in which Christians later rapaciously superseded the Jews.2 He is right. Indeed, throughout the two thousand or so years of Christian history, one sees Christians using these stories of Israel and the promised land to claim biblical warrant, directly or indirectly, for all sorts of abominable nonsense: the burning of heretics, Christian theft of lands from their previous inhabitants (including, of course, those lands that we now call “the United States”), babble about “master races”, “manifest destiny” and “exceptional nations”, and by bitterest irony, the only too evident involvement of “Christians” in the Nazi holocaust, wherein Israel herself becomes the Amorite to be exterminated. 2 Jon D. Levenson, “Is There a Counterpart in the Hebrew Bible to New Testament Anti-Semitism?” Journal of Ecumentical Studies 22 (1985) 242-60. 318 CHRISTOPHER BRYAN One might wonder why, in the course of reading through the collection of papers on Episcopal and Anglican identity, focussing somewhat on Anglicanism and the conciliar ideal, I should have found myself reflecting on such dark and depressing themes as these? On the one hand, I suppose I did so because even Christian history, of which Anglican and Episcopal identity are certainly a part, displays almost as much a preference for the brutal story, the narrative in which “winners” do what they want and “losers” put up with it, as does any other part of the human enterprise. “They’ll know we are Christians by our love,” goes a well-known hymn,3 presumably following Tertullian’s famous description of pagan reaction to Christians: “look,” they say, “how they love one another!” (Apologia 39.7)4—apropos which I am inclined to think that Tertullian was more willing to indulge in wishful thinking than one imagined.

  • In Conversation with Christos Yannaras: a Critical View of the Council of Crete
    In conversation with Christos Yannaras: a Critical View of the Council of Crete Andreas Andreopoulos Much has been said and written in the last few months about the Council in Crete, both praise and criticism. We heard much about issues of authority and conciliarity that plagued the council even before it started. We heard much about the history of councils, about precedents, practices and methodologies rooted in the tradition of the Orthodox Church. We also heard much about the struggle for unity, both in terms what every council hopes to achieve, as well as in following the Gospel commandment for unity. Finally, there are several ongoing discussions about the canonical validity of the council. Most of these discussions revolve around matters of authority. I have to say that while such approaches may be useful in a certain way, inasmuch they reveal the way pastoral and theological needs were considered in a conciliar context in the past, if they become the main object of the reflection after the council, they are not helping us evaluate it properly. The main question, I believe, is not whether this council was conducted in a way that satisfies the minimum of the formal requirements that would allow us to consider it valid, but whether we can move beyond, well beyond this administrative approach, and consider the council within the wider context of the spiritual, pastoral and practical problems of the Orthodox Church today.1 Many of my observations were based on Bishop Maxim Vasiljevic’s Diary of the Council, 2 which says something not only about the official side of the council, but also about the feeling behind the scenes, even if there is a sustained effort to express this feeling in a subtle way.

  • “This Volume Offers a Perceptive Reading of One of Vatican II's Most
    “This volume offers a perceptive reading of one of Vatican II’s most important documents, Lumen Gentium, balancing an appreciation for the document’s enduring contributions with an acknowledgment of its inevitable inconsistencies. Combining fresh theological perspectives with a dry wit and a perceptive reading of the state of the Catholic Church today, Lakeland uses Vatican II as a springboard for diagnosing what ails the church today. He concludes with a bracing call for a more humble church focused on its mission in the world.” — Richard Gaillardetz Joseph McCarthy Professor of Catholic Systematic Theology Boston College “This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the challenges of being Catholic today. In this concise, engaging, and delightfully readable volume, Lakeland provides a commentary on Lumen Gentium that sheds light not only on the Second Vatican Council but also on the current situation and the contemporary issues facing the Catholic Church. Even while probing some of Catholicism’s most neuralgic debates with his characteristically honest and insightful judgment, Lakeland’s tone of patient hope and good humor inspires rather than polarizes. I know of no better answer to the question of whether the Second Vatican Council still matters than A Council That Will Never End.” — Mary Doak Associate Professor of Systematic Theology University of San Diego “Paul Lakeland has produced another groundbreaking study which will inspire and energize so many throughout the church and academy alike. In this period of significant anniversaries concerning Vatican II, The Council That Will Never End is a self-consciously forward-looking book that draws on the inspirations of the past in order to serve the church of the future.

  • Reconstruction Or Reformation the Conciliar Papacy and Jan Hus of Bohemia
    Garcia 1 RECONSTRUCTION OR REFORMATION THE CONCILIAR PAPACY AND JAN HUS OF BOHEMIA Franky Garcia HY 490 Dr. Andy Dunar 15 March 2012 Garcia 2 The declining institution of the Church quashed the Hussite Heresy through a radical self-reconstruction led by the conciliar reformers. The Roman Church of the late Middle Ages was in a state of decline after years of dealing with heresy. While the Papacy had grown in power through the Middle Ages, after it fought the crusades it lost its authority over the temporal leaders in Europe. Once there was no papal banner for troops to march behind to faraway lands, European rulers began fighting among themselves. This led to the Great Schism of 1378, in which different rulers in Europe elected different popes. Before the schism ended in 1417, there were three popes holding support from various European monarchs. Thus, when a new reform movement led by Jan Hus of Bohemia arose at the beginning of the fifteenth century, the declining Church was at odds over how to deal with it. The Church had been able to deal ecumenically (or in a religiously unified way) with reforms in the past, but its weakened state after the crusades made ecumenism too great a risk. Instead, the Church took a repressive approach to the situation. Bohemia was a land stained with a history of heresy, and to let Hus's reform go unchecked might allow for a heretical movement on a scale that surpassed even the Cathars of southern France. Therefore the Church, under guidance of Pope John XXIII and Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund of Luxemburg, convened in the Council of Constance in 1414.

It seeks both to advance its place among the nation's finest universities and to bring to the company of its distinguished peers and to contemporary society the richness of the Catholic intellectual ideal of a mutually illuminating relationship between religious faith and free intellectual inquiry. Boston College draws inspiration for its academic societal mission from its distinctive religious tradition. As a Catholic and Jesuit university, it is rooted in a world view that encounters God in all creation and through all human activity, especially in the search for truth in every discipline, in the desire to learn, and in the call to live justly together. In this spirit, the University regards the contribution of different religious traditions and value systems as essential to the fullness of its intellectual life and to the continuous development of its distinctive intellectual heritage. Course Description This course is the first in a two-course sequence, which offers a comprehensive introduction to the conciliar tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.

  • Years of Storm & Stress
    YEARS OF STORM & STRESS Joseph Matt & Americanism with a commentary and notes by Paul Likoudis on Matt's “A Centenary of Catholic Life in Minnesota” published by The Wanderer, January – August 2012 From January to August 2012, The Wanderer published, and offered commentary, on a remarkable series of 36 articles written by this newspaper's long-serving editor Joseph Matt (1877-1966) in 1950-'51 on Americanism, “the German question,” and subjects related to “Cahenslyism,” named after the German Catholic layman Peter Paul Cahensly, who devoted himself to the aid of German-Catholic immigrants. In this series of articles, Joseph Matt told the German-American Catholics' side of the story of what the late Monsignor George Kelly would call the “Battle for the American Church”; i.e. German Catholic opposition to the nascent modernism in Americanism and the Americanist hierarchy's determination to assimilate German Catholics into the American melting pot. As a sort of prelude to this series, we will enter the field of German-American Catholic historiography with some snips from a paper read by University of Chicago historian Kathleen Neils Conzen at the first Edmund Spevack Memorial Lecture at Harvard University, November 7, 2003, which touches on many of the issues we will see Joseph Matt discussing in that series of 36 articles sixty years ago, as he reflected back on the battles of the of the late 19th and early 20th centuries: “....Catholicism has long seemed like an embarrassing guest at the table of American historiography,” observed Conzen, “best ignored in the hope that it will not make a disturbing fuss.

During a meeting with His Beatitude Metropolitan Volodymyr of Kiev and all Ukraine the members of the group expressed their deep gratitude for the hospitality and the possibility to meet in the Monastery of the Caves. The Saint Irenaeus Joint Orthodox-Catholic Working Group consists of 26 theologians, 13 Orthodox and 13 Catholic from different European countries and the USA. It was founded in Paderborn (Germany) in 2004 and has held meetings in Athens (Greece), Chevetogne (Belgium), Belgrade (Serbia) and Vienna (Austria). The theme of the Working Group’s sixth session was “The First Vatican Council – its historical context and the meaning of its definitions”. It continued the series of discussions examining the doctrine of primacy in the context of the concrete exercise of primacy. The results of the common studies were formulated in the following theses: 1. The definitions of the first Vatican Council can only be understood rightly if one takes into account their historical context, which had a strong influence on the formulation of the dogmas of the universal jurisdiction and the infallibility of the pope.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.
