In North America, I would like to thank Peter Awad, Maged Guirguis, David Labib, Albair Mikhail, Arsani Sedarous, and Morcous Wahba, as well as Father Nathanael Guirguis (formerly Michael Guirguis), Father Gregory Bekhit (formerly Amir Bekhit), and His Grace Bishop Youssef for their kindness and willingness to speak with me at length about the work of arranging English language hymns for the North American diaspora. Thanks to Mina Guirguis, Mark Soliman, Ray Wassef, and Father Matthias Shehad, for allowing me to discuss with them their work related to church publications and online resources, as well as Akmal Gouda, Maher Kaldas, and Hany Takla, for sharing with me their knowledge and expertise about Coptic history, rites, and hyms. Thanks to Father Joseph Boules, Father Cyril Gorgy, Father Markos Hanna, and Father Kyrillos Ibrahim for kindly giving their time to speak with me about their own churches and the challenges they face in the United States at the current moment. I am also extremely indebted to Nader Mansi, a dedicated deacon of the Church who offered me advice, provided me with crucial introductions, and reliably responded to even my most rudimentary questions with a deep knowledge and good humored patience that is rare in today’s world. In Egypt, I would like to thank ensemble director George Kyrillos for meeting with me on two separate occasions to discuss Coptic hymns and his work with the David Ensemble. Thanks also to Dr. Hussein Saber, a warm individual and world-class musician iv and teacher, who provided me with access to the music library at the Helwan University College of Music Education, and also taught me a great deal about the performance and theory of maqām during our weekly ‘ūd lessons in Zamalek. I also owe a huge debt of gratitude to the mu‘allimūn who generously offered up their time to meet with me, answer my questions, and in some cases provide me with hymn lessons and extensive interviews about their roles within the Church and their local communities. Thanks to Mu‘allim Ibrāhīm ‘Ayād, Mu‘allim Reda Barsoum, Mu‘allim Ahdy Hanna (may he rest in peace), Mu‘allim Zaki Mowad, and a special thanks to Mu‘allim Maged Milad and Mu‘allim Maged Samy who were exceedingly hospitable and generous with their time during my fieldwork in Cairo. Thanks also to Father Faim al-Anba Bishoy, the director of the Dideymus Institute in Cairo, who was patient and extremely helpful in answering my questions about the institute where the mu‘allimūn of the Church are trained. Additional thanks to Mina Medhat Shafik, who graciously invited me to the St. Athanasius Deacons’ School in Nasr City, Dr. Māgid Samu’īl Ibrāhīm, who allowed me to attend classes at the Institute of Coptic Studies (ICS), and John Nasry Zakher, my teacher during hymn classes that I attended there. At the University of California, Santa Barbara, I would like to thank our graduate advisor Carly Yartz who was always an encouraging presence throughout my time there and who was the rare person who always seemed to understand all the moving parts of the university machine. Thanks to Professors David Novak, Dwight Reynolds, and Scott Marcus, for their invaluable critiques of my work and the many lessons that I learned from them both in the classroom and more generally as examples of what true scholars and teachers may aspire to be. I would also like to give a special thanks to my family. Thanks to my mother Susan for everything that she has done for me throughout my life that has made it possible v for me to pursue and complete this project. Thanks to my wife Leida for putting up with me, especially over the past seven years. And finally I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my father Youssef Shafik Ragheb, may he rest in peace, and my son Marcio Curado Ragheb. It was my father whose braveness and determination led him across continents and oceans to start a new life in the United States, who worked harder than any man I have ever known, who never once made me feel that I had to follow in his footsteps, and who always encouraged me to follow my dreams. It was my son who made me realize how much more beautiful and profound my dreams could be. vi VITA OF NICHOLAS JOSEPH RAGHEB JUNE 2019 EDUCATION Ph.D. Ethnomusicology, University of California, Santa Barbara, 2019 M.Mus.

Through analyses of historical and contemporary forms of musico-theoretical discourse, I explore the ways in which the imagination and transmission of Coptic musical structures are implicated in the formation and transmission of narratives of Coptic history, and ultimately contribute to the construction and maintenance of Coptic identity. While this study includes an extensive review of previous scholarship on Coptic music, this historical component of the dissertation is focused on how theorizations about Coptic musical structures reflect the cultural contexts and ideologies of their authors. In a similar manner, this

Meawad Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.sacredheart.edu/cath_fac Part of the Christian Denominations and Sects Commons, Environmental Studies Commons, and the Ethics in Religion Commons 1 Stephen M. Meawad Liturgy as Ethicizer: Cultivating Ecological Consciousness through a Coptic Orthodox Liturgical Ethos 1 – Introduction Eastern Orthodox Christianity’s recent expression of its ecological concern has been vast and strong, evidenced by its designation of September 1st as a day of prayer for the “protection of the environment” and also through the scholarly contributions of more than a dozen theologians and religious figures, including Patriarch Bartholomew, Elizabeth Theokritoff, and John Chryssavgis.1 Much of this witness can and does extend to Oriental Orthodoxy in numerous respects.2 Among others, some examples include similarities in the doctrine of creation, proper relation to non-human animals, spiritual degradation as a precursor to ecological degradation, and extending love of neighbor to include all of creation. Yet, analyzing ways that other families of Orthodoxy conceive of the relationship between ecology and theology—a promising endeavor—has remained largely untapped contemporarily. This project will examine the liturgical ethos of the Coptic Orthodox Church and how this ethos is effective in creating self-sustaining, ecologically aware communities. A more comprehensive version of this project would develop what might be called a politeia (behavior or ethos of a given community) of the Coptic Orthodox Church that would include monasticism and asceticism; fasting; agriculture and co-stewardship; and self-sustenance.

    CHRISTIAN MEDIA Christian Press and Media Can Be

    CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE CHRISTIAN MEDIA Christian press and media can be understood in diff erent ways. ereTh are internal publications in the churches, directed to the community of the faithful. Th ere are publications with mainly a Christian content, directed to a broader public than only the church community. Finally there are media-companies run by Christians, who want to off er a contribution to the general public. At the beginning of this chapter we will give a short overview of the Protestant and Catholic press in Indonesia starting in the seventeenth century. In a second part we will describe in short the history of Catholic publishers. We will take the history of the Catholic publisher and printer Kanisius as an example, and give in comparison a short description of the biggest Protestant Publisher in Indonesia, BPK Gunung Mulia. In the third part we will give some attention to an ecumenical project named Kokosia, a project that tried to make an inventory of the Christian activities in the fi eld of communication in Indonesia between 1978 and 1986. In the last part of this chapter we will describe how the newspaper Kompas, started by Catholics in 1965 as a “daily newspaper” and as a “views paper,” continues to the present to give a peaceful but also a critical contribution to the developments in Indonesian society. We end with a few notes about Sinar Harapan, later renamed Suara Pembaruan, a newspaper started by Protestants in Indonesia.

    First State Visit of the Pope Today Events Are Truly Historic As It Is the First State Visit of a Pope to the UK

    Produced by CathCom & Premier Christian Radio p2 St Ninian's Parade p3 Bellahouston Park p4 Information for Today Poster to Commemorate the day Pope arrives in Scotland The Duke of Edinburgh met the Pope today when he arrived at Edinburgh airport. This is the first time the Queen's consort has been dispatched to meet a visiting head of state. Prince Philip was part of a small welcoming party for Benedict XVI when the pontiff steped off his Alitalia plane, code-named Shepherd One, this morning at the start of his four-day visit to the UK. Also present to receive the Pope were Cardinal Keith O'Brien, the leader of Scotland's Catholics, and his opposite number in England, Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster. The Duke and the Pope travelled together by limousine to the Palace of Holyroodhouse to the Queen, the first minister Alex Salmond and various other dignitaries. A source in the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland said that the move was seen as an acknowledgement that the Pope's forthcoming trip to Britain was "not just any state visit". Fr Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman said: ''Usually it is a junior member of the royal family or a minister but to have the Duke of Edinburgh at the welcome is very significant and most unusual,” Many protests are being organised around the UK by various groups, however, the Vatican has already stated that it is not worried by this. "There are always demonstrations, even during other trips. In this particular case, the movement will be bigger because in the United Kingdom there are more atheist or anti-pope groups.
