LEARNING FOCUS 1: the Communion of Saints: Showing People What God Is Like
LEARNING FOCUS 1: The Communion of Saints: showing people what God is like. We have just heard about Eric and the kindness he shows to his family. He is part of the worldwide community we all belong to. Christians, whether they are living on earth or in heaven, belong to what is called the Communion of Saints. Communion means to belong together and saints are those who follow God’s way. They show us something about God. They may be kind, generous, loving, faithful, forgiving and caring. In the first letter of St John, where he is encouraging his readers to follow God’s way, he offers some ideas about how we can all become a bit more like God, a saint: See what great love the Father has for us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! Dear friends, we are already children of God, we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in Christ, will try to be loving and kind and keep away from anything that is wrong. 1 John 3:1−3 God’s Story 3, page 149. We are all called to be saints and there are some people who are given a special title of saint because of the life they have led. These saints may have a special feast day during the year like St Andrew, St David, St Francis or St Margaret. On 1 November every year the Church celebrates the Feast of All Saints, that is all the holy women and men who have followed God’s way. -
Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England a Revised
BEDE'S ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF ENGLAND A REVISED TRANSLATION WITH INTRODUCTION, LIFE, AND NOTES BY A. M. SELLAR LATE VICE-PRINCIPAL OF LADY MARGARET HALL, OXFORD LONDON GEORGE BELL AND SONS 1907 EDITOR'S PREFACE The English version of the "Ecclesiastical History" in the following pages is a revision of the translation of Dr. Giles, which is itself a revision of the earlier rendering of Stevens. In the present edition very considerable alterations have been made, but the work of Dr. Giles remains the basis of the translation. The Latin text used throughout is Mr. Plummer's. Since the edition of Dr. Giles appeared in 1842, so much fresh work on the subject has been done, and recent research has brought so many new facts to light, that it has been found necessary to rewrite the notes almost entirely, and to add a new introduction. After the appearance of Mr. Plummer's edition of the Historical Works of Bede, it might seem superfluous, for the present at least, to write any notes at all on the "Ecclesiastical History." The present volume, however, is intended to fulfil a different and much humbler function. There has been no attempt at any original work, and no new theories are advanced. The object of the book is merely to present in a short and convenient form the substance of the views held by trustworthy authorities, and it is hoped that it may be found useful by those students who have either no time or no inclination to deal with more important works. Among the books of which most use has been made, are Mr. -
Gendered Networks and Communicability in Medieval
GENDERED NETWORKS AND COMMUNICABILITY IN MEDIEVAL HISTORICAL NARRATIVES APREPRINT S D Prado, S R Dahmen A L C Bazzan, Instituto de F´ısica Instituto de Informatica´ Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Porto Alegre, 91501-970, Brazil Porto Alegre, 91501-970, Brazil M MacCarron J Hillner Department of Digital Humanities Department of History University College Cork University of Sheffield Cork, T12 YN60, Ireland Sheffield, S3 7RA, UK February 5, 2020 ABSTRACT One of the defining representations of women from medieval times is in the role of peaceweaver, that is, a woman was expected to ’weave’ peace between warring men. The underlying assumption in scholarship on this topic is that female mediation lessens male violence. This stance can however be questioned since it may be the result of gender-based peace and diplomacy models that relegate women’s roles to that of conduits between men. By analysing the concept of communicability and relevance of certain nodes in complex networks we show how our sources afford women more complex and nuanced social roles. As a case study we consider a historical narrative, namely Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People, which is a history of Britain from the first to eighth centuries AD and was immensely popular all over Europe in the Middle Ages. Keywords Gendered Networks · Communicability · Node Relevance · Medieval History 1 Introduction In the last few years we have witnessed an explosion in the use of networks as a quantitative tool with which one may analyse and quantify interpersonal relationships in human societies [1, 2]. -

St John of Beverley... … a Sermon for the Civic Service
St John of Beverley... … a sermon for the Civic Service A sermon given on 8th May 2020, by the Rt Rev James Jones, in the Online Service to commorate the 75th Anniversary of VE Day and to celebrate St John of Beverley I shall never forget my first sight of Beverly Minster. I had just been interviewed by the Archbishop of York, John Habgood, about becoming Bishop of Hull and was driven from Bishopthorpe to Beverley. As we approached the town, there sailing towards us across the fields, was the minister, a ship of faith, a sermon in stone, reminding us of the faith and the values that have over many centuries moulded our common life. Indeed, our language, our literature, our laws, our liberty, our learning, our leisure and our very landscape have been shaped by the faith that built this glorious minister. Here in this church, as in the other historic churches of the East Riding of Yorkshire, over the years thousands have come to fulfill the promise we make every year on Remembrance Sunday, 'We will remember them.' If it were not a promise, then we would say, 'We might remember them.' But a promise is a promise, and so we will remember them, today and tomorrow, the service men and women and the civilians who died as the bombs rained down: we call them heroes; they, of course, saw themselves simply as ordinary people doing their duty. But in these sacred buildings, we sanctify their memory. We turn them into our heroes, with our thanksgiving for their sacrifice, and we cherish their values, those values that secured for us and for our future generations both liberty and peace. -

DOCUMENTING MIRACLES in the AGE of BEDE by THOMAS EDWARD ROCHESTER
SANCTITY AND AUTHORITY: DOCUMENTING MIRACLES IN THE AGE OF BEDE by THOMAS EDWARD ROCHESTER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham July 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This doctoral dissertation investigates the writings of the Venerable Bede (673-735) in the context of miracles and the miraculous. It begins by exploring the patristic tradition through which he developed his own historical and hagiographical work, particularly the thought of Gregory the Great in the context of doubt and Augustine of Hippo regarding history and truth. It then suggests that Bede had a particular affinity for the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles as models for the writing of specifically ecclesiastical history. The use of sources to attest miracle narratives in six hagiographies known to Bede from Late Antiquity are explored before applying this knowledge to Bede and five of his early Insular contemporaries. The research is rounded off by a discussion of Bede’s use of miracles in the context of reform, particularly his desire to provide adequate pastoral care through his understanding of the ideal bishop best exemplified by Cuthbert and John of Beverley. -
