    TRICLINIUM PAUPERUM: POVERTY, CHARITY AND THE PAPACY IN THE TIME OF GREGORY THE GREAT AN ABSTRACT SUBMITTED ON THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF MARCH, 2013 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS OF TULANE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY ___________________________ Miles Doleac APPROVED: ________________________ Dennis P. Kehoe, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ F. Thomas Luongo, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ Thomas D. Frazel, Ph.D AN ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of Gregory I (r. 590-604 CE) in developing permanent ecclesiastical institutions under the authority of the Bishop of Rome to feed and serve the poor and the socio-political world in which he did so. Gregory’s work was part culmination of pre-existing practice, part innovation. I contend that Gregory transformed fading, ancient institutions and ideas—the Imperial annona, the monastic soup kitchen-hospice or xenodochium, Christianity’s “collection for the saints,” Christian caritas more generally and Greco-Roman euergetism—into something distinctly ecclesiastical, indeed “papal.” Although Gregory has long been closely associated with charity, few have attempted to unpack in any systematic way what Gregorian charity might have looked like in practical application and what impact it had on the Roman Church and the Roman people. I believe that we can see the contours of Gregory’s initiatives at work and, at least, the faint framework of an organized system of ecclesiastical charity that would emerge in clearer relief in the eighth and ninth centuries under Hadrian I (r. 772-795) and Leo III (r.

  • Hidden Lives: Asceticism and Interiority in the Late Reformation, 1650-1745
    Hidden Lives: Asceticism and Interiority in the Late Reformation, 1650-1745 By Timothy Cotton Wright A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jonathan Sheehan, chair Professor Ethan Shagan Professor Niklaus Largier Summer 2018 Abstract Hidden Lives: Asceticism and Interiority in the Late Reformation, 1650-1745 By Timothy Cotton Wright Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Jonathan Sheehan, Chair This dissertation explores a unique religious awakening among early modern Protestants whose primary feature was a revival of ascetic, monastic practices a century after the early Reformers condemned such practices. By the early seventeenth-century, a widespread dissatisfaction can be discerned among many awakened Protestants at the suppression of the monastic life and a new interest in reintroducing ascetic practices like celibacy, poverty, and solitary withdrawal to Protestant devotion. The introduction and chapter one explain how the absence of monasticism as an institutionally sanctioned means to express intensified holiness posed a problem to many Protestants. Large numbers of dissenters fled the mainstream Protestant religions—along with what they viewed as an increasingly materialistic, urbanized world—to seek new ways to experience God through lives of seclusion and ascetic self-deprival. In the following chapters, I show how this ascetic impulse drove the formation of new religious communities, transatlantic migration, and gave birth to new attitudes and practices toward sexuality and gender among Protestants. The study consists of four case studies, each examining a different non-conformist community that experimented with ascetic ritual and monasticism.

  • Faces of Our Faith: Philemon and Onesimus Stephen G
    Faces of our Faith: Philemon and Onesimus Stephen G. Hyde Ravensworth Baptist Church August 18, 2019 Philemon Not all of the New Testament letters with Paul’s name attached were actually written by Paul. However, several are considered undisputed, authentic letters from the apostle, and Philemon is one of them. The undisputed letters were to churches in Rome, Corinth, Thessalonica, Galatia, and Philippi, all house churches started by Paul and those who worked alongside him. This letter is written by Paul while in prison, and addressed to Philemon, yet even this letter with a personal message is intended by Paul to be read to the congregation. Paul begins by saying the letter is from him and Timothy, our brother, and is being sent to our dear friend and co-worker, Philemon; also to our sister, Apphia, and to Archippus. The strong implication is that Apphia shares leadership in the church, alongside Philemon and Archippus, just as Timothy works alongside Paul. It’s also addressed by Paul: “to the church in your house.” If you’re interested in this sort of thing, this offers a fascinating glimpse into life in the churches during the early decades after Jesus. The congregation meets in Philemon’s house. When our group of 13 visited Cuba last year, we were guests at a house church in Havana. We crowded, along with the congregation, into a long room in the center of the house. Just as Philemon was the spiritual leader of his congregation, this house belonged to a wonderful, charismatic couple, co-pastors of the church.

    Strangers in the House of God: Cotton Mather^ Onesimus^ andan Experiment in Christian Slaveholding KATHRYN S. KOO HEN A DEADLY smallpox epidemic broke out in Boston in 1721, the Reverend Cotton Mather promoted W a highly controversial course of action that would either save countless lives or help to escalate the spread of the dis- ease. Inoculation was at that time an obscure and little under- stood practice, although reports of its success in Constantinople had already circulated among the ranks of London's Royal Soci- ety.' Mather, a keen observer of the natural world and an avid fol- lower of the medical sciences, was convinced that inoculation could effectively combat the disease. His belief was based on tes- timony not from Turkey, but from a highly unlikely source that I would like to thank Caroline Sloat, Thomas Knoles, and Joanne Chaison of the American Antiquarian Society for their kind assistance with this project. My thanks also go to Hertha Sweet Wong, Carl Guarneri, Lucia Knoles. Jay Fliegelman, Kenneth Min- kema, James Kirchner, and two anonyinous reviewers for their helpful comments and sug- gestions.

Unfortunately the Christian Churches remain divided and not everybody is welcome to approach the Holy Chalice. It is the policy of our Archdiocese that Holy Communion (Eucharist) is reserved only for Orthodox Christians who have spiritually prepared themselves by fasting, repenting, having read the Pre- Communion prayers, and having arrived on time from the beginning of the Divine Liturgy. Everybody however, is welcome to partake of the Antidoron (blessed bread) that is distributed at the end of the Divine Liturgy. If you are not Orthodox yet, and are interested in becoming Orthodox and receiving Holy Communion, please speak with me.

Χρονολόγηση 381-1453 Γεωγραφικός εντοπισμός Constantinople 1. Introduction The patriarchate of Constantinople developed closely with the city itself; thus, the bishop of New Rome gradually developed to the ecumenical patriarch. Throughout its history, the patriarch worked closely with the imperial administration, ideally under the principle of symphonia, close and peaceful cooperation. However, individual patriarchs sometimes found themselves completely pushed over by forceful emperors or struggling in confrontation with imperial will. Although the emperor was supposed to respect the church ’s own choice of patriarchate, more often than not emperors ensured that their own candidate became patriarch. Still, for most of its history the patriarchate cooperated closely with the imperial government and played a major role in the imperial administration both within the empire and with relations with external churches, powers, and peoples.
