James Parnell 575 Scarsdale Road Yonkers, NY 10707 Printed in the United States of America First Printing, 2013 ABSTRACT After over ten years of war (not to mention the numerous wars and conflicts that stretch back over fifty years), there is growing concern about the frighteningly high number of soldiers and veterans who develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the United States. Massive spikes in the rate of suicides, sexual assaults, fratricides, and homicides among service members and veterans are symptomatic of a deeper problem: spiritual trauma. This reality is also referred to in terms of “moral injuries” or “soul wounds.” Numerous mental health professionals and specialists in related fields have begun advocating for rites of return and reintegration for soldiers and veterans.

J. SWOBODA �PICKWICK Publications • Eugene, Oregon 6 Maximus the Confessor and a Deeper Actualization of the Apostolic Dimensions of Pentecostal Movements Steve Overman In his now famous and controversial 1967 lecture, “The Historical Roots of Our Ecologic Crisis,” medieval historian and Presbyterian layman Lynn White, Jr. suggested that many of the unhealthy and unsustainable attitudes toward and treatment of nature found in modern times were to a great extent made possible by the dogmas of especially medieval and modern western Christianity. In contrast to older pagan systems, which viewed humankind as one part of a much larger and animated whole, from the perspective of these dogmas human beings could be seen as separate from and superior to nature and free to objectify and exploit it for their own ends. In light of this, White challenged the churches to “rethink” how their faith might lead them to view their relationship with nature, calling them to move beyond exploitation, and even notions of “stewardship,” to a deeper mutuality he termed “a spiritual democracy of all God’s crea- tures.” As possible alternative Christian resources for this reform, White 98 maximus the confessor 99 called attention especially to St.

  • The Concept of “Sister Churches” in Catholic-Orthodox Relations Since
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Will T. Cohen Washington, D.C. 2010 The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II Will T. Cohen, Ph.D. Director: Paul McPartlan, D.Phil. Closely associated with Catholic-Orthodox rapprochement in the latter half of the 20 th century was the emergence of the expression “sister churches” used in various ways across the confessional division. Patriarch Athenagoras first employed it in this context in a letter in 1962 to Cardinal Bea of the Vatican Secretariat for the Promotion of Christian Unity, and soon it had become standard currency in the bilateral dialogue. Yet today the expression is rarely invoked by Catholic or Orthodox officials in their ecclesial communications. As the Polish Catholic theologian Waclaw Hryniewicz was led to say in 2002, “This term…has now fallen into disgrace.” This dissertation traces the rise and fall of the expression “sister churches” in modern Catholic-Orthodox relations and argues for its rehabilitation as a means by which both Catholic West and Orthodox East may avoid certain ecclesiological imbalances toward which each respectively tends in its separation from the other. Catholics who oppose saying that the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church are sisters, or that the church of Rome is one among several patriarchal sister churches, generally fear that if either of those things were true, the unicity of the Church would be compromised and the Roman primacy rendered ineffective.

  • Revisiting the Franciscan Doctrine of Christ
    Theological Studies 64 (2003) REVISITING THE FRANCISCAN DOCTRINE OF CHRIST ILIA DELIO, O.S.F. [Franciscan theologians posit an integral relation between Incarna- tion and Creation whereby the Incarnation is grounded in the Trin- ity of love. The primacy of Christ as the fundamental reason for the Incarnation underscores a theocentric understanding of Incarnation that widens the meaning of salvation and places it in a cosmic con- tent. The author explores the primacy of Christ both in its historical context and with a contemporary view toward ecology, world reli- gions, and extraterrestrial life, emphasizing the fullness of the mys- tery of Christ.] ARL RAHNER, in his remarkable essay “Christology within an Evolu- K tionary View of the World,” noted that the Scotistic doctrine of Christ has never been objected to by the Church’s magisterium,1 although one might add, it has never been embraced by the Church either. Accord- ing to this doctrine, the basic motive for the Incarnation was, in Rahner’s words, “not the blotting-out of sin but was already the goal of divine freedom even apart from any divine fore-knowledge of freely incurred guilt.”2 Although the doctrine came to full fruition in the writings of the late 13th-century philosopher/theologian John Duns Scotus, the origins of the doctrine in the West can be traced back at least to the 12th century and to the writings of Rupert of Deutz. THE PRIMACY OF CHRIST TRADITION The reason for the Incarnation occupied the minds of medieval thinkers, especially with the rise of Anselm of Canterbury and his satisfaction theory.

  • Ignatian and Hesychast Spirituality: Praying Together
    St Vladimir’s Th eological Quarterly 59:1 (2015) 43–53 Ignatian and Hesychast Spirituality: Praying Together Tim Noble Some time aft er his work with St Makarios of Corinth (1731–1805) on the compilation of the Philokalia,1 St Nikodimos of the Holy Mountain (1748–1809) worked on a translation of an expanded version of the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius Loyola.2 Metropolitan Kallistos Ware has plausibly suggested that the translation may have been motivated by Nikodimos’ intuition that there was something else needed to complement the hesychast tradition, even if only for those whose spiritual mastery was insuffi cient to deal with its demands.3 My interest in this article is to look at the encounters between the hesychast and Ignatian traditions. Clearly, when Nikodimos read Pinamonti’s version of Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises, he found in it something that was reconcilable with his own hesychast practice. What are these elements of agreement and how can two apparently quite distinct traditions be placed side by side? I begin my response with a brief introduction to the two traditions. I will also suggest that spiritual traditions off er the chance for experience to meet experience. Moreover, this experience is in principle available to all, though in practice the benefi ciaries will always be relatively few in number. I then look in more detail at some features of the hesychast 1 See Kallistos Ware, “St Nikodimos and the Philokalia,” in Brock Bingaman & Bradley Nassif (eds.), Th e Philokalia: A Classic Text of Orthodox Spirituality (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2012), 9–35, at 15.

  • Palamas and Bonaventure on the Experience of God— a Contribution to Orthodox-Roman Catholic Dialogue
    Journal of Ecumenical Studies 44 3, Summer 2009 MIRROR OF EXPERIENCE: PALAMAS AND BONAVENTURE ON THE EXPERIENCE OF GOD— A CONTRIBUTION TO ORTHODOX-ROMAN CATHOLIC DIALOGUE Rüssel Murray PRECIS In this essay, the author places into a "dialogue of love" the mystical theologies of Saints Gregory Palamas and Bonaventure of Bagnoregio, as developed in their respective masterpieces, the Defense of the Holy Hesychasts and The Soul's Journey into God. It is the author's contention that when this dialogue is engendered, one is able to see how these saints, precisely within the diversity of their respective ecclesial traditions, mirror each other's understanding of how the human person experiences God and, in the process, mirror how Orthodox and Roman Catholic faithful alike can both perceive anew and visibly witness once again to the faith, hope, and love that even now unites them as one body in Christ. / Introduction In his apostolic letter Orientale Lumen, Pope John Paul II noted, with regard to the enduring schism between the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches, "We have increasingly learned that it was not so much an historical episode or a mere question of preeminence that tore the fabric of unity, as it was a progres­ sive estrangement, so that the other's diversity was no longer perceived as a Rüssel Murray, OFM (Roman Catholic), is an Assistant Professor in the Dept of Systematic The­ ology at Washington (DC) Theological Union, where he has taught since 2007 He previously served on the staff of St Anthony Shrine in Boston, 1998-2000 He
