Heugel Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Robert C. Stacey Department of History This dissertation is a social history of the sacrament of confirmation in western Christianity from its beginnings in the early third century through the Middle Ages. It is an exploration of the meanings attached to the rite, the uses to which it was applied, and the experiences of those who practiced it. Based primarily on the evidence found in liturgies, theological works, devotional manuals, the records of church councils, and saints’ lives, it concludes that, prior to the sixteenth century, confirmation was largely defined by the office and status of the bishop, and through him it connected people of both sexes and all ages and classes to the power and prestige that he represented. In addition, confirmation served as a potentially significant element in the life of Christian devotion, as a source of supernatural power which could be applied to a variety of ends, and through the practice of godparenthood, as a useful social instrument for the creation and extension of kinship networks. Part one analyzes the creation of confirmation in the third through fifth centuries by looking at the role that anointing and handlaying played in Judaism and early Christianity, the diversity of initiation practices in the classical Christian world, and the values that led to the decision in the west that only the bishop could administer the rite. It suggests that this episcopal exclusivity arose, at least in part, in response to the kind of sectarian challenge posed in the Valentinian Gospel of Philip. Part two looks at the development of confirmation as a separate sacrament and the variety of roles it played in the early Middle Ages. Importantly, we find that confirmation was not introduced to the Franks during the Carolingian dynasty, as has been generally thought; rather, there is clear evidence that Merovingian bishops regularly performed this rite. Part three contends that the rite of confirmation continued to develop through the high and late Middle Ages. Bishops used it in their attempts to renew lay piety, and its identity came to be associated with important contemporary social institutions such as monasticism, chivalry, and crusading.

  • The Antiphonary of Bangor and Its Musical Implications
    The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications by Helen Patterson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Helen Patterson 2013 The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications Helen Patterson Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines the hymns of the Antiphonary of Bangor (AB) (Antiphonarium Benchorense, Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 5 inf.) and considers its musical implications in medieval Ireland. Neither an antiphonary in the true sense, with chants and verses for the Office, nor a book with the complete texts for the liturgy, the AB is a unique Irish manuscript. Dated from the late seventh-century, the AB is a collection of Latin hymns, prayers and texts attributed to the monastic community of Bangor in Northern Ireland. Given the scarcity of information pertaining to music in early Ireland, the AB is invaluable for its literary insights. Studied by liturgical, medieval, and Celtic scholars, and acknowledged as one of the few surviving sources of the Irish church, the manuscript reflects the influence of the wider Christian world. The hymns in particular show that this form of poetical expression was significant in early Christian Ireland and have made a contribution to the corpus of Latin literature. Prompted by an earlier hypothesis that the AB was a type of choirbook, the chapters move from these texts to consider the monastery of Bangor and the cultural context from which the manuscript emerges. As the Irish peregrini are known to have had an impact on the continent, and the AB was recovered in ii Bobbio, Italy, it is important to recognize the hymns not only in terms of monastic development, but what they reveal about music.

  • 1 the SUN BEHIND the SUN Frank Shirbroun, St. Augustine's In
    1 THE SUN BEHIND THE SUN Frank Shirbroun, St. Augustine’s in-the-Woods, April 30, 2017 INTRODUCTION: Teresa and I are highly honored to have a part in the series of Celtic Christian Eucharists that begins today. Last fall, at the invitation of Father Eric Stelle, we did a similar series at St. John’s, Gig Harbor. Many there found the series especially nourishing to their own spiritual pilgrimages and we did, too. So, when St. Augustine’s Adult Formation Committee asked us to do something similar here, we were happy to say, “Yes!” What Teresa and I will do each Sunday in this series is to lift up several Celtic Christians who are identified with the distinctive themes of Celtic Christian spirituality. Our hope is this: if we learn something about these Celtic Christians and their faith, we may gain enlightenment and encouragement for our own Christian pilgrimage. I don’t know how much you know about “Celtic Christian Spirituality”, so, perhaps I should begin by saying something about the meaning of this term as we shall use it during this series. We are talking about a unique way of being Christian found in lands around the Irish Sea, especially Scotland, Northern Britain, Wales, Cornwall, and Ireland. It is a very early form of Christianity that flourished there mainly from the fifth to the ninth centuries A.D., up to the Viking raids in the 800s, which sacked and destroyed many Celtic Christian communities. Now, I am being careful to use the term “Celtic Christian Spirituality” because we are not talking about a Celtic church in the sense of an institution with a central organization, or a hierarchy, or a uniform set of practices like our Episcopal church.

    CONTEXTS FOR PASTORAL CARE: ANGLO-SAXON PRIESTS AND PRIESTLY BOOKS, C. 900–1100 Gerald P. Dyson PhD University of York History March 2016 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination and analysis of the books needed by and available to Anglo-Saxon priests for the provision of pastoral care in the tenth and eleventh centuries. Anglo-Saxon priests are a group that has not previously been studied as such due to the scattered and difficult nature of the evidence. By synthesizing previous scholarly work on the secular clergy, pastoral care, and priests’ books, this thesis aims to demonstrate how priestly manuscripts can be used to inform our understanding of the practice of pastoral care in Anglo-Saxon England. In the first section of this thesis (Chapters 2–4), I will discuss the context of priestly ministry in England in the tenth and eleventh centuries before arguing that the availability of a certain set of pastoral texts prescribed for priests by early medieval bishops was vital to the provision of pastoral care. Additionally, I assert that Anglo- Saxon priests in general had access to the necessary books through means such as episcopal provision and aristocratic patronage and were sufficiently literate to use these texts. The second section (Chapters 5–7) is divided according to different types of priestly texts and through both documentary evidence and case studies of specific manuscripts, I contend that the analysis of individual priests’ books clarifies our view of pastoral provision and that these books are under-utilized resources in scholars’ attempts to better understand contemporary pastoral care.

    3/30/2021 He is bright and prepared to take a stand for something he believes in, even if it's not going with the mainstream | Anglicanism | The Gua… News Opinion Sport Culture Lifestyle The Guardian profile He is bright and prepared to take a stand for something he believes in, even if it's not going with the mainstream Riazat Butt, religious affairs correspondent Thu 19 Jun 2008 19.01 EDT Until last Sunday few people had heard of the Reverend Dr Martin Dudley BD MSc MTh PhD FSA FRHistS AKC. He had written some handbooks, such as the Parish Survival Guide, but his reputation did not extend far beyond the boundaries of St Bartholomew the Great, the pretty 12th-century church in the City of London. Indeed, the building was more famous than him, starring in blockbusters including Four Weddings and a Funeral and Shakespeare in Love. But a lot can change in a week and when, on May 31, he presided at a service for two gay clergy the rector could never have predicted that, a fortnight later, he would be swept into the eye of a storm. Since news broke of the ceremony - which had a wedding march, rings, vows, two best men, a fanfare and confetti - Dudley has been publicly admonished by his own bishop, the Right Rev Richard Chartres, and the two archbishops, Rowan Williams and John Sentamu, for a possible breach of guidelines on blessing civil partnerships. Dudley's actions could not have happened at a worse time, fuelling an already bitter and protracted power struggle that threatens the unity of the Anglican Communion, with conservative dioceses from Africa and America opposing the more accommodating nature of the Church of England towards the ordination and consecration of gay clergy.

Abstract Since the late 20th century information technology has changed the lives of individuals and relationships at local, nation and even global levels. In particular the internet is used by many religious groups for theological and spiritual purposes. Some parts of Christianity have confronted the issue of how to deal with the use of internet. As a result, an internet church has emerged, offering Eucharistic services online across the globe. Even though the numbers of internet churches/Eucharistic groups have sharply increased in the last two decades, the attitude of the established churches does not appear to have taken account of this change yet. To achieve this it is necessary for such initiatives to be guided by certain theological norms or church regulations. This may relate to the definition of church, Eucharistic theology, or how to deal with emerging cultures.

  • A Celtic Eucharist
    !1 A! Celtic! Eucharist! " " " " The Eucharist is a concentrate of God’s presence in all things! Brendanus! Introduction! The question could be asked whether a ‘Celtic Eucharist’ consisting of ancient texts is of any use or relevance in today’s world. I would answer that it is not my intention to ‘mimic’ an ancient Eucharist, but to link our cultural experience into the living tradition of the Church. Liturgy exists in the here and now. The Liturgy is the sacred work of the people of God, and it is to carve the kingdom of God from the raw material of creation. Its real significance is to make all things whole, to bring all things into Oneness in heaven and on earth through the symbols of the elements.! The Eucharist may be celebrated at twelve noon today, but that same liturgy has to link us back in time, even joining in the echo of worship which existed before history began. It may be seen as a pageant, or simple memorial of the First Liturgy, but it is more than that; it must bring the Apostolic City into the now, and then onwards joining with the Heavenly City. The dialogue with the past locates our present in the mainstream of Tradition, and is the guarantee of the Presence now. My ‘now’ exists because of tradition and within the Tradition.! In Scotland, as a child, I heard from my Grandmother about the holiness of the Eucharist, and I learned even more from her body language when present at its celebration. Now I know for myself what the Eucharist is.

Near the end of the third year on November 21, 1964, the Council passed three more documents: the Constitution on the Church (Lumen Gentium), and two Decrees: on the Eastern Churches (Orientalium Ecclesiarum) and on Ecumenism (Unitatis Redintegratio). This was a major milestone. Pope John had made his surprise announcement that he was convening an ecumenical council during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, at the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls. He mentioned specifically that he wanted to update the Church (aggiornamento) and make some headway toward Christian unity. In addition to the Constitution on the Liturgy, these three documents had thoroughly engaged the bishops’ interests, but bringing all three of them to final votes was easier said than done. We have already discussed Lumen Gentium (which focused on “ourselves”) and now we consider another two, which involve reaching out to “others.” Lumen Gentium was setting the stage for a more open relationship between the Catholic Church and those outside it by acknowledging that the Church is joined to others by baptism, Scripture, & belief in the Trinity (#15).

  • Celtic Chant | Grove Music
    Celtic chant Ann Buckley https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.05266 Published in print: 20 January 2001 Published online: 2001 The liturgical chant sung by the Churches of the Celtic-speaking peoples of the Middle Ages before they conformed to the unitas catholica of the Roman Church. 1. Historical background. The liturgical practices observed in Christian worship by Celtic-speaking peoples were developed in monastic communities in Ireland, Scotland, Cumbria, Wales, Devon, Cornwall and Brittany. However, Celtic influence was also evident in certain areas controlled by the Anglo-Saxons, such as Northumbria, and extended to the Continent through the efforts of Irish missionaries during the 6th and 7th centuries. Chief among these last was St Columbanus (c543–615), founder of the monasteries of Luxeuil and Bobbio. His followers spread the customs of the Columbanian abbeys throughout centres in what are now France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Spain. Several of the most important sources for the early Celtic liturgy are associated with the Columbanian foundations in Gaul. It is somewhat misleading to refer to ‘the Celtic Church’, since there was no single, uniform institution under central authority, and medieval Celtic-speaking Christians never considered themselves ‘Celtic’ in the sense of belonging to a national group, although an awareness of common purpose may be said to have existed for a brief period during the late 6th century and the early 7th. Nonetheless, the term serves as a useful way of classifying regional and cultural distinctiveness, by identifying what was essentially a network of monastic communities that shared a similar kind of structure and between whom there was regular, sometimes close, contact.

  • INFORMATION for FINAL YEAR CANDIDATES 2019-20 Introduction
    SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL INSTITUTE INFORMATION FOR FINAL YEAR CANDIDATES 2019-20 Introduction It is easy to get excited at the start of one’s final year about Licensing or Ordination. It is only natural. Families and friends will do so too, with many questions. However it is important to focus on the year ahead because one remains in a process of formation. Moreover, Licensing or Ordination is conditional until the Appraisal Conference Report and the assent of one’s Bishop. As Brother Roger of Taizé used to say, we ought to live in ‘the dynamic of the provisional’. Final Year Candidates will have their Appraisal Conferences in April 2020, as outlined below. This enables the Chair of the Conference to write the Appraisal Conference Report earlier than in the previous two years and send it to the relevant Bishop, so that the Bishop may read and consider its recommendations before a date for Licensing or Ordination at Michaelmas is set. Appraisal Process Timeline The Chair of the Appraisal Conference Dates of Chairs’ visits contacts the Student and his/her Advisor published by SEI in January to arrange a suitable date for appraisal. The Advisor draws up the End- 1 month before the Conference of-Year Report and shares it with the student The End-of-Year Report is submitted 2 weeks before the Conference The Appraisal Conference Final Year students’ Conferences 20-24 April 2020 The Appraisal Report is written by Within two weeks of the Conference the Chair and sent out to Advisor and Student for signature and comment A copy of the signed Report, and any Within 3 weeks of the Conference letter is sent to the student, Advisor, Bishop and Principal.
