Mazza, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2009 This dissertation examines the citational use of the Judeo-Christian Bible in two sociopolitical debates within the United States: first, the debate over the abolition of slavery in the nineteenth century, and second, the contemporary debate over gay rights. This study incorporates two core theses. First, I argue that the contemporary religious right, in its anti-gay use of the Bible, is replicating the hermeneutical practices used by opponents of the abolitionist movement. My second thesis parallels the first: I argue that the contemporary activists who reclaim the Bible as a pro-gay instrument are standing in the same hermeneutical tradition as nineteenth-century Christian abolitionists.

  • March 21, 2021 Sermon
    Kerry Mansir March 21, 2021 Christ Church Gardiner Lent 5 In the parish news a couple of weeks ago, I shared the story of the Philadelphia 11 in honor of Women’s History Month. The Philadelphia 11 are the women who, in July of 1974, were ordained to the priesthood at Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia. This was remarkable because just a year before, at the General Convention of the Episcopal Church, women had been denied ordination to the priesthood. And nothing had changed regarding women’s ordination in that year. But these eleven women, and others like them, were tired of waiting. They had tried the legislative routes within the church, but they were weary of being put off so that the Church could continue to “study the matter.” Choosing to be ordained without the blessing of General Convention carried great risk in that the women could be deposed, in other words, permanently barred from the priesthood in the future, and possibly any role in the Church at all. Their ordination was an historic moment in the Church. Knowing the story of these women is important to understanding our church history. But as one of you pointed out to me, the press release from July 31, 1974 that I shared in the parish newsletter failed to name any but two of these women. The news release did name the three male retired or resigned Bishops who performed the ordination, the male Harvard professor who preached the sermon, and several of the male Bishops who opposed the ordinations, including the Presiding Bishop at that time.

  • Roman Catholic Womenpriests and the Problem of Women’S Ordination
    TRANSGRESSIVE TRADITIONS: ROMAN CATHOLIC WOMENPRIESTS AND THE PROBLEM OF WOMEN’S ORDINATION Jill Marie Peterfeso A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Laurie Maffly-Kipp Julie Byrne Todd Ochoa Tony Perucci Randall Styers Thomas A. Tweed ©2012 Jill Marie Peterfeso ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JILL MARIE PETERFESO: Transgressive Traditions: Roman Catholic Womenpriests and the Problem of Women’s Ordination (Under the direction of Laurie Maffly-Kipp) Although the Roman Catholic Church bars women from ordained priesthood, since 2002 a movement called Roman Catholic Womenpriests (RCWP) claims to have ordained approximately 120 women as deacons, priests, and bishops in Europe, North America, and Latin America. Because the women deliberately break Canon Law—and specifically c. 1024, which reads, “Only a baptized man can validly receive sacred ordination”—RCWP acknowledges that its ordinations are illegal, but the group claims nonetheless to perform valid ordinations because they stand in the traditional line of apostolic succession. They retain the modifier “Roman” to signal their lineage within Roman Catholic tradition, yet RCWP’s stated goal is not simply to insert women into the existing Church structures, but rather to “re-imagine, re-structure, and re-shape the priesthood and therefore the church.” This dissertation investigates the

Photo by Tony Rinaldo. When I speak with new students, I frequently talk about how the “and” in the Yale School of Management’s mission to educate leaders for business and society is an essential and meaningful conjunction. It is a small word, and an easy one to overlook beside its polysyllabic neighbors, but it signals that the most vexing problems confronting us on the planet will require the best ideas across all sectors of the economy and all regions of the world. Our integrated curriculum combines multiple perspectives and academic disciplines to bring organizational challenges into clearer focus. Our community, similarly, brings together people from a remarkable diversity of backgrounds who pursue wide- ranging interests. The power of conjunction is evident every day in the classroom, when students contribute new insights and points of view gathered from experiences around the globe. And the spirit of combination extends to our faculty, whose team- teaching in our courses and scholarly collaboration with colleagues often spans disciplinary boundaries. The result is both a better framework for understanding the most significant and meaningful challenges in the real world and an environment that encourages new ideas.

  • The Word – November 2017
    St. Alban’s Episcopal Church he word November 2017 Volume 16, Issue 9 From the Rector October 2017 Volume 16, Issue 8 In last month’s newsletter I posed the question, “are you going to church, or are you the Church?” I followed that question with the statement that “Church isn’t a place, it’s people.” That statement became very real to me as I attended a workshop on church growth (Invite -Welcome -Connect) in October. I was accompanied by your Senior Warden Linda Cummings and parishioners Debbie Rosse and Kate Wettstein . The workshop facilitator challenged us to look at our current methods of inviting others to church, making them feel welcome and then making them feel “connected” – part of the church. At the workshop, the Invite -Welcome -Connect facilitator shared an anecdote with us. During a break at a workshop she was leading, one attendee from a smaller church came up to her and confided that she “really didn’t want her church to grow” because she liked her church just the way it is. We all have differing levels of comfort with change, and change in our church can be very difficult for some. But churches should never be content to just exist. Churches must be thriving, active in the community, and raising up disciples to share the Good News. But that will never happen if the invitation and the welcome are taken care of by a committee. We are all responsible for inviting and welcoming to church people hungry for the Good News of God’s love.

  • In 1848 the Slave-Turned-Abolitionist Frederick Douglass Wrote In
    The Union LeagUe, BLack Leaders, and The recrUiTmenT of PhiLadeLPhia’s african american civiL War regimenTs Andrew T. Tremel n 1848 the slave-turned-abolitionist Frederick Douglass wrote in Ithe National Anti-Slavery Standard newspaper that Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, “more than any other [city] in our land, holds the destiny of our people.”1 Yet Douglass was also one of the biggest critics of the city’s treatment of its black citizens. He penned a censure in 1862: “There is not perhaps anywhere to be found a city in which prejudice against color is more rampant than Philadelphia.”2 There were a number of other critics. On March 4, 1863, the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, commented after race riots in Detroit, “Even here, in the city of Philadelphia, in many places it is almost impossible for a respectable colored per- son to walk the streets without being assaulted.”3 To be sure, Philadelphia’s early residents showed some mod- erate sympathy with black citizens, especially through the Pennsylvania Abolition Society, but as the nineteenth century progressed, Philadelphia witnessed increased racial tension and a number of riots. In 1848 Douglass wrote in response to these pennsylvania history: a journal of mid-atlantic studies, vol. 80, no. 1, 2013.

The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.[2] He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering (or dukkha), achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada—the oldest surviving branch—has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications Vajrayana, a subcategory of Mahayana, is recognized as a third branch.

  • Saints Alive Fall 2019 Special 125Th Anniversary Issue
    SAINTS a special edition looking at the rich historyAlive! of All Saints Brookline Volume 21, Number 4 Fall 2019 1 Rector’s Reflection Have you seen the Hereford stone? When our church building was under construction, Daniel Dulaney Addison, our first rector, visited Hereford, England, where he was given a stone from the original Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Ethelbert, built in the 11th century. It was placed in the outer wall of the Resting Chapel, where it remains. It’s a remarkable and tangible reminder of the incredible long story we are a part of: the story of God’s never-failing love. A story that continues to be lived out across the globe. As I live and work in this community, I am constantly humbled and amazed by the works of faith undertaken by this community, both now and in the past. I am heartened by the rock-solid faith of women and men throughout time who live mostly ordinary lives of joy and tragedy, of faith and struggle; who, in all kinds of circumstances, gather together to break bread, share the cup, and move forward in hope. As we pause this year to look back with gratitude at our first 125 years, and imagine with hope what our next 125 might be, I give thanks for all that has brought us safely thus far, and for you who are even now writing the next chapter of the story. May we be found to be as durable, and as faithful as our Hereford stone. In peace, Richard+ From the Editor Marianne Evett In 1894, a group of 24 Episcopalians began meeting to worship at the Beaconsfield Casino in northwest Brookline and petitioned Bishop Lawrence to start a church.

NO MALE OR FEMALE Mary Anne Case I take the invitation to contribute to this volume to be to speak very personally about how I came to feminist legal theory and what I made of it. I take my title from the New Testament, from Galatians 3:28, because I came to my own radical take on sameness feminism through youthful engagement with the Catholic Church's radical past and repressive future on matters of sex equality and through engagement in college and graduate school with arguments for the equality of the sexes made from the Middle Ages through the French revolution by otherwise conservative women defending their own right to participate in male-dominated enterprises and otherwise radical men willing to call all received ideas into question, even those concerning women's place.
