  • SERMON: "FRANCIS DAVID and the EDICT of TORDA" Francis
    SERMON: "FRANCIS DAVID AND THE EDICT OF TORDA" Francis David (Ferencz David) was born at Klausenburg in Kolozsvar, the capital of Transylvania, in 1510. He was the son of a shoemaker and of a deeply religious mother descended from a noble family. He was first educated at a local Franciscan school, then at Gyulafehervar, a Catholic seminary. His high intellectual ability led him to the University of Wittenburg, where he completed his education 1545-1548 (then in his thirties). He developed the ability to debate fluently in Hungarian, German and Latin. His years of study fall in the exciting period of the Reformation. Although he must have been aware of and perhaps influenced by the debates of the time, his first position was that of rector of a Catholic school in Beszterce. He studied Luthers writings and became a Protestant. Lutheranism had spread rapidly in Transylvania during his absence and he joined the new movement on his return, becoming pastor of a Lutheran church in Peterfalva. He took part in theological debates, proving himself a gifted and powerful orator and a clear thinker. His fame spread, and he was elected as a Superintendent or Bishop of the Lutheran Church. The Calvinist or Reformed movement was at the same time spreading across Transylvania, and Francis David studied its teachings. Its main difference from Lutheranism lay in its symbolical interpretation of the Lords Supper. Gradually convinced, he resigned his Lutheran bishopric in 1559 and joined the Calvinists as an ordinary minister. Again, his intellectual ability and his gifts of oratory bore him to leadership and he was elected Bishop of the Reformed Church of Transylvania.

It will be alive to the best writing of a transnational and comparative nature and will cross canonical chronological divides of the Central Middle Ages, the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. Renaissance History, Art and Culture intends to spark new ideas and encourage debate on the meanings, extent and influence of the Renaissance within the broader European world. It encourages engagement by scholars across disciplines – history, literature, art history, musicology, and possibly the social sciences – and focuses on ideas and collective mentalities as social, political, and cultural movements that shaped a changing world from ca 1250 to 1650.

AD 250–336), a Christian presbyter in Alexandria, Egypt, concerning the relationship of God the Father to the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Arius asserted that the Son of God was a subordinate entity to God the Father. Deemed a heretic by the Ecumenical First Council of Nicaea of 325, Arius was later exonerated in 335 at the regional First Synod of Tyre,[2] and then, after his death, pronounced a heretic again at the Ecumenical First Council of Constantinople of 381. The Roman Emperors Constantius II (337–361) and Valens (364–378) were Arians or Semi-Arians. The Arian concept of Christ is that the Son of God did not always exist, but was created by—and is therefore distinct from—God the Father.

  • John Calvin's Perspective on Music and Worship, and Its
    Ilorin Journal of Religious Studies, (IJOURELS) Vol.3 No.1, 2013, Pp.83-101 JOHN CALVIN’S PERSPECTIVE ON MUSIC AND WORSHIP, AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH Robert Osei-Bonsu Valley View University, Oyibi-Accra [email protected] Abstract Different views on worship and music have been expressed by different Reformers. The Reformers rejected some aspects of medieval worship such as the Gregorian chant, the use of elaborate vocal and instrumental music, overly theatrical performances at worship, the unwarranted expense of elaborate ceremonies, enormous pipe organs and the uselessness of text unintelligible to the common man. The Reformers aimed at introducing simple forms of worship and music in the Church, and to restore the true worship of God and therefore introduce congregational singing and participation in worship. This paper surveys John Calvin’s views on worship and Music. Calvin held that the Word of God should be central to worship and that prominence should be given to the Bible over any other obsessions. He therefore prohibited many things in worship because he wanted God to be the focus of worship and devotion. The study concludes that although the Church today cannot limit itself to singing of the Psalms alone, nonetheless, music sung in the Church should be Bible-based to draw the attention of worshippers to God. Introduction Worship is a principal act in the life of the Christian church, and it is the church’s response to God’s gift of Christ. Therefore, the kind of music used in worship is very important. Worship and music play important roles in Christian worship especially in the Seventh-day Adventist Church.1 The same can be said of worship during the reformation.

  • Chapter Thirty the Ottoman Empire, Judaism, and Eastern Europe to 1648
    Chapter Thirty The Ottoman Empire, Judaism, and Eastern Europe to 1648 In the late fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries, while the Portuguese and Spanish explored the oceans and exploited faraway lands, the eastern Mediterranean was dominated by the Ottomans. Mehmed II had in 1453 taken Constantinople and made it his capital, putting an end to the Byzantine empire. The subsequent Islamizing of Constantinople was abrupt and forceful. Immediately upon taking the city, Mehmed set about to refurbish and enlarge it. The population had evidently declined to fewer than two hundred thousand by the time of the conquest but a century later was approximately half a million, with Muslims constituting a slight majority. Mehmed and his successors offered tax immunity to Muslims, as an incentive for them to resettle in the city. Perhaps two fifths of the population was still Christian in the sixteenth century, and a tenth Jewish (thousands of Jewish families resettled in Constantinople after their expulsion from Spain in 1492). The large and impressive churches of Constantinople were taken over and made into mosques. Most dramatically, Mehmed laid claim to Haghia Sophia, the enormous cathedral that for nine hundred years had been the seat of the patriarch of Constantinople, and ordered its conversion into a mosque. It was reconfigured and rebuilt (it had been in a state of disrepair since an earthquake in 1344), and minarets were erected alongside it. The Orthodox patriarch was eventually placed in the far humbler Church of St. George, in the Phanari or “lighthouse” district of Constantinople. Elsewhere in the city Orthodox Christians were left with relatively small and shabby buildings.1 Expansion of the Ottoman empire: Selim I and Suleiman the Magnificent We have followed - in Chapter 26 - Ottoman military fortunes through the reigns of Mehmed II (1451-81) and Bayezid II (1481-1512).

  • Francis-David.Faith-And-Freedom-2.7
    Francis David: Faith and Freedom By Rev. Steven A. Protzman February 7th, 2016 © February, 2016 First Reading: The Edict of Torda1 Second Reading: dive for dreams by ee cummings2 Sermon Unitarianism has existed in Romania for more than 350 years. Among its heroes is Francis David, court preacher for the only Unitarian king in history, John Sigismund. As we honor our Partner Church this weekend with the Festival of the First Bread and begin our month of Unitarian Universalist history, we will learn about the legacy of David and Unitarianism in Transylvania, which includes some of our fundamental UU values: freedom, reason and tolerance. Part I Today as begin our month of UU history, we celebrate the Festival of the First Bread and our relationship with a small Unitarian village in Romania, Janosfalva. Today we will tell a story about the beginnings of Unitarianism almost 450 years ago in Eastern Europe and Francis David, one of our Unitarian heroes. Of the many remarkable parts of this story, perhaps the most amazing part is that a tiny kingdom on the eastern edge of Europe, Transylvania, had freedom of religion in an age where, as UU minister Frank Schulman said, "“the Inquisition was crushing religious freedom, John Calvin and his cohorts burned heretics like Michael Servetus at the stake for daring to question doctrine, when Luther wrote, “Let heads roll in the streets,” and when the massacre of St. Bartholomew killed 30,000 Protestants in France".3 It was during this tumultuous time when the Reformation and the Radical Reformation were underway and the first information age, created by the invention of the printing press, was changing the world radically and rapidly that Francis David was born in 1510 in Kolosvar, Transylvania, the son of a shoemaker.

  • The Pasha of Buda and the Edict of Torda
    1 Children of the Same God: Unitarianism in Kinship with Judaism and Islam Minns Lectures, 2009 Rev. Dr. Susan Ritchie First Church Boston; Wednesday April 22, 2009 Lecture Two of the Series Children of the Same God: European Unitarianism in Creative Cultural Exchange with Ottoman Islam1 When Sultan Suleyman of the Ottoman Empire first learned of the birth of John Sigismund, the son of the King of Hungary, he felt it be such an important event that he sent a personal representative to stand in a corner of Queen Isabella’s room to watch over her and the infant.2 Sigismund’s father, King John Zapolya , King of Hungary and Viovode of Transylvania, had died just two weeks after his son’s birth that July of 1540. On his deathbed he had given instructions that his son be named heir to his titles, a violation of a previous agreement that promised Hungary after John’s death to Ferdinand, the brother of the Hapsburg Emperor Charles. When it became clear after John’s death that his successors had no intention of allowing Hungary to become a part of the Hapsburg Empire, Ferdinand responded by laying siege on Buda. In 1541, with Queen Isabella’s forces nearing collapse, Sultan Suleyman appeared in Buda with a large army, successfully repulsing Ferdinand. Suleyman claimed the capital of Buda and much of lower Hungary for his control while granting Isabella and her infant son Transylvania to rule independently, but under the ultimate control of the Ottoman State. After some years of political contrivance and redefinition, Transylvania developed into its new identity as a border state.

  • 'God Is in the Details': Visual Culture of Closeness in the Circle of Cardinal
    ‘God is in the details’: visual culture of closeness in the circle of Cardinal Reginald Pole Lorraine de la Verpillière When Reginald Pole first came to Rome in November 1536 to take up his new position as a cardinal, in exile from England and his now schismatic cousin, King Henry VIII, he must have been struck by the splendour of the papal city, the centre of Christendom. Pole was an important figure at the Curia: his quasi-royal status and his appointment to serve on a papal reform commission allowed him to mingle with the ecclesiastical elite.1 He should therefore have been familiar with the profusion of decorations and paintings in Italian churches and with the magnificent palaces in which most great cardinals lived.2 In spite of being a prolific writer, Pole never commented on art, seeming completely oblivious to the painted works and to the brilliant architectural feats that surrounded him on a daily basis in the papal city. The lack of information about the relationship between Pole and the artists who gravitated to his circle and on the artworks he commissioned, along with Thomas Mayer’s claim that ‘Pole, by most definitions a Renaissance patron, was a failure’,3 seems to have discouraged further research on the cardinal’s artistic patronage. In fact, the apparent absence of evidence about Pole’s interest in the visual arts is misleading. Pole has yet to receive the attention he deserves in the History of Art, as he did engage with the visual arts, even though he was highly selective about them and demanded they conform with his spiritual and social practices, similarly to other reformist-minded Roman Catholics.
