We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord, whose property is always to have mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen. Cranmer’s dramatic and arresting “Prayer of Humble Access” brings to mind a crucial facet of the Christian life: the church exists at the hand of a gracious and merciful Lord. As evangelical Christians, our love of Scrip- ture arises out of God’s use of the Word in our lives. We aim not only to hear God’s Word but also to put it into practice. Thus, we should be eager to hear the witness of Christians throughout the history of the church who likewise have been moved by God’s Word. When the content of the church’s confession coheres with the witness of Scripture, and when Scrip- ture is regarded as the ground of the church’s tradition, respect for the place of tradition is a matter of considerable importance. Notice Paul’s appeals to tradition: “Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. I commend you be- cause you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions just as I handed them on to you” (1 Cor 11:1-2) and “Now we command you, be- loved, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from believers Ancient Faith.book Page 10 Tuesday, August 5, 2008 10:18 AM 10 A NCIENT FAITH FOR THE CHURCH’ S FUTURE who are living in idleness and not according to the tradition that they re- ceived from us” (2 Thess 3:6). We should take from this the claim that when a given tradition is consonant with God’s self-revelation, it is to be upheld and honored by the church. On this count, the early confessions, creeds, hymns, commentaries, sermons and works of theology constitute a deposit or treasury of ancient witnesses. In May 2006, Robert Webber and Phil Kenyon published “A Call to an Ancient Evangelical Future.” The prologue to this document declares, “In every age the Holy Spirit calls the Church to examine its faithfulness to God’s revelation in Jesus Christ, authoritatively recorded in Scripture and handed down through the Church.” Aware of the striking challenges posed to Christianity by competing narratives, the “Call” exhorts evangel- ical Christians to “restore the priority of the divinely inspired biblical story of God’s acts in history” in order that “the Church will be strengthened to address the issues of our day.” Given the precise focus of our edited volume, article 3 of the Call is germane: We call for the Church’s reflection to remain anchored in the Scriptures in continuity with the theological interpretation learned from the early Fa- thers. Thus, we call Evangelicals to turn away from methods that separate theological reflection from the common traditions of the Church. These modern methods compartmentalize God’s story by analyzing its separate parts, while ignoring God’s entire redemptive work as recapitulated in Christ. Anti-historical attitudes also disregard the common biblical and theological legacy of the ancient Church. The Call stands in a much larger tradition than one might imagine. Per- haps without being fully aware of the fact, the Call represents a long over- due summons to learn from arguably one of the most significant theolog- ical developments of the twentieth century: ressourcement theology. In the middle of the twentieth century, a group of French theologians, including Henri de Lubac, Jean Daniélou, Henri Bouillard, Yves Congar, Louis Bouyer and Marie-Dominique Chenu, and the Swiss Hans Urs von Balthasar inaugurated a remarkable theological movement termed ressourcement theology. While far from being a unified school of thought, Ancient Faith.book Page 11 Tuesday, August 5, 2008 10:18 AM Introduction 11 these figures shared a common belief that the writings of the early church constitute an incomparable source for the contemporary renewal of the church. Facing a post-Christian Europe, ressourcement theologians turned to the work of great patristic and medieval theologians such as Origen, Ig- natius of Antioch, Cyprian, Chrysostom, Cyril of Alexandria, Augustine, John of Damascus and Thomas Aquinas. In so doing, they essentially re- discovered crucial sources for the revitalization of contemporary theology and pastoral life. These forward-looking theologians sought creative and faithful ways of moving beyond the rigid neo-Scholasticism represented in Pope Leo XIII’s 1879 promulgation of Aeterni Patris. A number of intriguing parallels can be drawn between the challenges faced by Roman Catholic theologians leading up to Vatican II and the contemporary state of evangelical theology.

  • Peru Travel Info
    Peru Tips & Information Compiled by Alberto and Delphine As of December 18, 2015 Note: these are my own notes for ourselves and our friends who traveled with us. It is not a public recommendations, so feel free to use as a reference, but your experience may differ from ours. To Do BEFORE Traveling: • Make a copy of the main page of your passport and keep the copy separate from your passport, just in case. It is not a bad idea to keep a copy of the photo in your smart phone or tablet, in case you need to request a duplicate. • Call your cell company and look into international plans. Every plan is different: o We normally get an international plan for emergency purposes (you can still make calls without the plan, but the international plan lowers your international call costs). o Most definitely get an international text plan. Texting is a very effective and cheap way to communicate. The international text plan will save you money. o Disable call and data roaming…you could end up with a large phone bill if you don’t. Only turn on call roaming when making international calls. Consult with your cell service about this. • International cellular plans can be expensive to use locally. If you need to make local calls for taxis, etc., consider getting a burner (i.e., “pre-pago”) phone. See information for local telephone below. • Call your credit card company and let them know where you are traveling and the dates you are traveling. If you don’t do this they may cancel your card when they see international transactions.

  • Father André Scrima – a New Kind of Fool for Christ Marius
    M!"#$% V!%#&'!($* !e complex and often puzzling personality of Father André Scrima was misapprehended for a long time. !is article discusses the reasons for such a misapprehension and o"ers some possible explanations for his paradoxical behaviour. An overview of the reception of Father Scrima’s life and works shows a dynamic at work that can only generate optimism. His participation in the Burning Bush group at the Antim monastery in Bucharest was one of the most important formative experiences, where a wide cultural and scienti#c perspective was fused with an in- depth religious experience. Father Scrima may be better understood if we consider him the #rst of a new kind of fools for Christ, a kind that is well-equipped to face the challenges of tomorrow. Keywords: André Scrima, Daniil Sandu Tudor, !e Burning Bush, foolishness for Christ, hesychasm He was a man that would experience the enthusiasm of a child when a new decimal of a universal constant was discovered. He used to tame an unbro- ken sacred text in a generous hermeneutics by o!ering it the "re of certain astrophysical theories and blending them with the phenomenology of the opening one’s heart in a hesychastic manner. Could this be the reason why the impressive erudition of Father André Scrima is still hard to accept and to understand in the Orthodox ecclesiastical environment? Our hypothesis that will be dealt with in the current paper is that all the things mentioned above are not enough to explain his misapprehension: most likely, Father André Scrima was the "rst person belonging to a new kind of fool for Christ.

  • Algernon Charles Swinburne, Walter Pater, and Secular Aesthetics
    1 ‘Life as the End of Life’: Algernon Charles Swinburne, Walter Pater, and Secular Aesthetics Sara Lyons Submitted for Ph.D. Examination 2 ABSTRACT This thesis elucidates the relationship between the emergence of literary aestheticism and ambiguities in the status and meaning of religious doubt in late Victorian Britain. Aestheticism has often been understood as a branch of a larger, epochal crisis of religious faith: a creed of ‘art-for-art’s-sake’ and a cult of beauty are thought to have emerged to occupy the vacuum created by the departure of God, or at least by the attenuation of traditional forms of belief. However, the model of secularisation implicit in this account is now often challenged by historians, sociologists, and literary critics, and it fails to capture what was at stake in Swinburne and Pater’s efforts to reconceptualise aesthetic experience. I suggest affinities between their shared insistence that art be understood as an independent, disinterested realm, a creed beyond creeds, and secularisation understood as the emptying of religion from political and social spheres. Secondly, I analyse how Swinburne and Pater use the apparently neutral space created by their relegation of religion to imagine the secular in far more radical terms than conventional Victorian models of religious doubt allowed. Their varieties of aestheticism often posit secularism not as a disillusioning effect of modern rationality but as a primordial enchantment with the sensuous and earthly, prior to a ‘fall’ into religious transcendence. I explore their tendency to identify this ideal of the secular with aesthetic value, as well as the paradoxes produced by their efforts to efface the distinctions between the religious and the aesthetic.

  • Folly for Christ's Sake in Early Irish Literature
    Folly for Christ’s Sake in Early Irish Literature: the Case of Suibhne Geilt Reconsidered1 Alexandra Bergholm 1. Introduction ‘Madness and Christianity go hand in hand’ (Screech 1985, 25). This claim can be considered quite accurate, at least when one examines the variety of spiritual behaviour demonstrated during the history of the Christian faith. One interesting example of holy madness in Christianity is folly for Christ’s sake, a particular ascetic practice that is most developed in the Eastern Orthodox Church. In the Byzantine tradition the holy person feigning insanity was called salos, meaning ‘mentally deranged’. In Russian the term used is iurodivy, derived from the word meaning ‘ugly, crippled, an individual with congenital defects’ (Kobets 2006). Martin Buber describes the fool for God as ‘a human being who, because of his undamaged direct relationship with God, has quitted the rules and regulations of the social order, though he continues to participate in the life of his fellow men’ (cited in Saward 1980, 1-2). In both Byzantine and later Russian tradition, where holy fools are recognised as a hagiographic category in their own right, the figure’s eccentric conduct is marked most notably by the feigning of madness, but also by other characteristics such as wandering about naked, uttering riddles and prophecies, and making oneself a spectacle by publicly displaying disruptive behaviour and violating accepted norms. The controversial appearance, speech and actions are all part of a conscious exploit, which aims at providing spiritual guidance to the people while concealing the true sanctity of the holy fool (Kobets 2006; Ivanov 2006).

  • (Intertextuality) to Political Hospitality
    1 Paweł Leszkowicz From Literary Hospitality (Intertextuality) to Political Hospitality Who/what in performativity against ACTA and for Pussy Riot? What “sociologies of literature” (ever-universal)? Is po(st)-et(h)ics past it? Literary criticism, or even the critical faculties of literature itself/Literary thought, or even the thought processes of literature itself, are in thrall to “intertextuality”, the notion coined by Julia Kristeva in her ruminations on the Other, the Alien/Foreign (čužoj) and Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin' dialogism, and then developed inter alia by Michał Głowiński in teoria et in praxi. It's a notion which – as Columbia University's Leon S. Roudiez, Kristeva's translator and commentator, aptly remarks – has been and continues to be abused on both sides of the Atlantic. I will abuse the notion-idea yet again, for intertextuality nullifies the division between the theory and the practices of literature, and reifies the unity-in-multiplicity, universality-in-diversity of writing which has depuis toujours, pour toujours et à jamais played out “between old and newer” texts, between tradition, subversion and futurity (a quality so now relevant for research), all of which – Kristeva teaches – runs counters to the perception of a text as a point, but goes along with the view of writings as intersections of textual spaces. The most recent investigations in humanities (memory, trauma, feminist, gender, queer, postcolonial or ecology studies) are deeply indebted to the sociology of literature, which they also transform, just as they revive the idea of intertextuality by returning to it. We, the precariat in the global city (book and concept by Saskia Sassen), are made and left to process – but also created to produce – codes, artefacts and texts, in order for our bodysouls to express, impress, press-gang, or possibly – after the 9th Feuerbach Thesis – interpret and change the world (or worlds? Also the internal ones), cultures, the Self, the intersubjectivities: 2 relationships, loves-hates, nurturings of Others.

Instead of a disability, this mythologised autism is read as a valid and valuable poetic theological thinking. The thesis argues that a mythological autism could be envisioned as a trinity, analogous to the three-in-one Godhead of Christianity. This means that each facet of the mythological autistic trinity is indissoluble from the others, are all are equally autism. The first element is termed Mindfulness of Separation, and this entails absence and unknowing as has been conceptualised in Baron Cohen’s theory of Mindblindness.

  • Chemical Composition and Physicochemical Properties of Meatballs Prepared from Mechanically Deboned Quail Meat Using Various Types of Flour
    International Journal of Poultry Science 10 (1): 30-37, 2011 ISBN 1682-8356 © Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2011 Chemical Composition and Physicochemical Properties of Meatballs Prepared from Mechanically Deboned Quail Meat Using Various Types of Flour B. Ikhlas, N. Huda and I. Noryati Fish and Meat Processing Laboratory, Food Technology Programme, School of Industrial Technology, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800, Minden, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia Abstract: Quail meatballs using different types of flour were analyzed for their proximate composition (moisture, protein, fat, ash and total carbohydrate) and physicochemical properties (cooking yield, moisture retention, fat retention, juiciness, folding test, color, texture profile analysis and sensory qualities). Meatballs were produced using 65% quail meat, 3% flour (cassava, corn, wheat, sago and potato flour), 3.2% soy protein isolate, 10% palm oil, 2.1% salt, 2% sugar, 0.9% mixed spices and 13.8% cool water. The proximate composition of the quail meatballs produced was comprised of 64.94-66.33% moisture, 13.43-14.47% protein, 10.32-13.77% fat, 2.30-2.95% ash and 4.80-7.67% carbohydrates. The cooking yield was highest for the quail meatball formulation using potato flour (98.97%), followed by the yields of formulations using, cassava (97.99%), sago (97.46%), corn (91.06%) and wheat flour (91.00%). Folding test scores were in the range of 3.50-4.67. Lightness (L*) was in the range of 66.06-69.10, redness (a*) was in the range of 1.79- 2.25 and yellowness (b*) was in the range of 17.75-17.98.
