Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response. -
The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I
The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I Edited by Theodore Hoelty-Nickel Valparaiso, Indiana The greatest contribution of the Lutheran Church to the culture of Western civilization lies in the field of music. Our Lutheran University is therefore particularly happy over the fact that, under the guidance of Professor Theodore Hoelty-Nickel, head of its Department of Music, it has been able to make a definite contribution to the advancement of musical taste in the Lutheran Church of America. The essays of this volume, originally presented at the Seminar in Church Music during the summer of 1944, are an encouraging evidence of the growing appreciation of our unique musical heritage. O. P.

A Show of Emotion
Issue No. 3/2018 A Show of Emotion Interview by Gill Crabbe, FNG Research As the Sinebrychoff Art Museum prepares to stage an exhibition on painting and the theatre, Gill Crabbe meets the show’s curator Laura Gutman, to discuss the research she carried out in order to bring this topic to life Meeting the independent curator Laura Gutman is like meeting a detective. As curator of several shows in Finland, where she moved from Paris 17 years ago, including the recent acclaimed ‘Air de Paris’ exhibition at Helsinki Art Museum (HAM), she has used her research skills and background studying art history under Guy Cogeval at the Ecole du Louvre in Paris in the 1990s to impressive effect in Finland. Not only has she been making intriguing connections between Finnish artists and their European counterparts, but also deepening understanding of European artworks in Finnish collections. It is a busy year for Gutman as she is now in the final stages of preparing a show on theatre and painting from the 17th to early 20th centuries titled ‘Moved to Tears: Staging Emotions’ at the Sinebrychoff Art Museum in Helsinki. The museum is an appropriate setting for such a subject as it is the house of the collector Paul Sinebrychoff, whose wife Fanny Grahn was herself an actress, and their rooms on the first floor are laid out almost as a series of theatrical sets, each reflecting a period from his collection. The theme of the Sinebrychoff exhibition which is held in the galleries on the ground floor, is also a subject close to Gutman’s heart, since at the Ecole du Louvre she studied the theoretical and philosophical background to painting and theatre ‘from David to Degas’. -

Part 2: Socialist Iconography, 1848–1952 innehåll / contents Abstract: This is Part 2 of a two-part study which aims at preliminary conclusions re- garding the iconography of the international labour movement. Earlier research in the Förord / Editorial 3 fields of social history, art history and visual rhetorics has been consulted for this pur- pose. After 1848, emerging socialist parties and labour unions depended on republican Søren Kaspersen “Quale sit intus in his” – A Note about Abbot Suger's 9 iconography for their manifestation of collective identity. The republican virtues of Bronze Doors in Saint-Denis Liberty, Equality and Fraternity remained important, but Fraternity was gradually re- placed or merged with Unity and Solidarity. In a process akin to the identification of Anders Ödman the goddess of Liberty with a more common “Marianne”, the representation of Unity Östra Sallerups kyrka i Frosta härad, Skåne: 27 and manual work in socialist iconography became focused on images of individual kolonisation och kulturella kontakter male or female workers. In earlier prints and illustrations, these representations have Ragnhild M.

11 Women of the Reformation Cornelia Schlarb 1. Introduction Since The
Women of the reformation Cornelia Schlarb 1. Introduction Since the EKD (Evangelical Church in Germany) has proclaimed a Luther or reformation decade in 2008 in order to celebrate the beginning of the reformation 500 years ago, the interest in what and how women contributed to the spreading of the new reformatory ideas and live style has been increasing in Germany. The situation has been completely different when I was studying evangelical theology in Marburg and Heidelberg in the beginning of the 1980th. In that time German scholars, or rather female scholars, only started to research the bible and church history about women's contribution, although in other countries, like in the USA, Roland H. Bainton (1894-1984) had already published his book “Women of the Reformation in Germany and Italy” in 1971. It is very significant that it took 24 years to translate this book into German. In 1995 it had become available as paperback issue with the title “Frauen der Reformation. Von Katharina von Bora bis Anna Zwingli”. It contains seven biographies and a summarized description of women of the Anabaptist movement. It quickly became very popular and in 1996 already the third edition was published. In our lectures and seminars we only heard about Martin Luther, his life as monk and his conversion, about Luther´s posting of theses in 1517 in Wittenberg, about his central reformatory scriptures in the 1520th and the bible translation. We had to learn the important milestones of the reformation like the Imperial Diets / Reichstage in Worms 1521 and -

Dating the Reformation
The Protestant Reformation was the 16th-century religious, political, intellectual and cultural upheaval that splintered Catholic Europe, setting in place the structures and beliefs that would define the continent in the modern era. In northern and central Europe, reformers like Martin Luther, John Calvin and Henry VIII challenged papal authority and questioned the Catholic Church’s ability to define Christian practice. They argued for a religious and political redistribution of power into the hands of Bible- and pamphlet-reading pastors and princes. The disruption triggered wars, persecutions and the so-called Counter-Reformation, the Catholic Church’s delayed but forceful response to the Protestants. DATING THE REFORMATION Historians usually date the start of the Protestant Reformation to the 1517 publication of Martin Luther’s “95 Theses.” Its ending can be placed anywhere from the 1555 Peace of Augsburg, which allowed for the coexistence of Catholicism and Lutheranism in Germany, to the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years’ War. The key ideas of the Reformation—a call to purify the church and a belief that the Bible, not tradition, should be the sole source of spiritual authority—were not themselves novel. However, Luther and the other reformers became the first to skillfully use the power of the printing press to give their ideas a wide audience. 1 Did You Know? No reformer was more adept than Martin Luther at using the power of the press to spread his ideas. Between 1518 and 1525, Luther published more works than the next 17 most prolific reformers combined. THE REFORMATION: GERMANY AND LUTHERANISM Martin Luther (1483-1546) was an Augustinian monk and university lecturer in Wittenberg when he composed his “95 Theses,” which protested the pope’s sale of reprieves from penance, or indulgences. -
Föglö Kyrka Från Medeltid Till Nutid
Heikki Hanka Kyrkokonstens och den visuella kulturens epoker FÖGLÖ KYRKA FRÅN MEDELTID TILL NUTID Föglö medeltida kyrka på Åland gör ett sakligt och okonstlat intryck på besökaren. Artikeln granskar med hjälp av källkritisk närläsning textmaterial och originalkäl- lor som berör kyrkan och dess föremål. Detta kunskapsunderlag, i kombination med observationer som gjorts på plats, öppnar för betydelser som ligger bakom kyrkans nuvarande utformning och ger också insyn i dess äldre historiska skeden. Den skenbara arkaismen döljer ett konsthistoriskt rikt landskap. Finska fornminnesföreningen, grundad år 1870, åtog sig uppdraget att vårda kulturarvet genom att organisera konsthistoriska expeditioner vars mål var att identifiera och dokumentera vårt lands konsthistoriskt betydelsefulla platser. Fram till år 1902 organiserades åtta fältexpeditioner varav den första på som- maren 1871 riktades till Åbo med omgivningar och Åland.1 I slutet av juli be- sökte en expedition bestående av åtta personer, ledd av Emil Nervander, även Föglö.2 Denna artikel är en hedersbetygelse till föreningens banbrytande insats för fornminnesforskningen i vårt land. Samtidigt får vi tacka föreningen för att den konsthistoriska forskningens första frön såddes och att studiet av kyrko- konst inleddes. Även om mycket har förändrats under de gångna 150 åren, så är de forskningsmetoder som expeditionerna skapade och använde fortfarande grundläggande verktyg i den konsthistoriska forskningen. Via observationer gjorda på plats och insamling av kunskapsskärvor från varierande källmaterial fortsätter den nutida forskaren i de konsthistoriska expeditionernas fortspår. Kyrkorna har, förutom agerat plats för religionsutövning, också varit en cen- tral del av det finska kulturarvet. Överföringen av kyrkans kulturarv till fram- tiden är utmanande. Både den evangelisk-lutherska och den ortodoxa kyrkan utreder för närvarande i sina strategier hur de bör förvalta kyrkans materi- ella och immateriella kulturarv3. -

Passion in Seide Und Gold. Die Gengenbacher Passionsteppiche Und Ihr Historisches Umfeld
Dear Friends and collegues, it is my great pleasure, to point you to the opening of an exhibition at Museum Haus Löwenberg, Gengenbach Passion in Seide und Gold. Die Gengenbacher Passionsteppiche und ihr historisches Umfeld. The grand opening will be on Saturday, 17 March 2018, 4.oo pm, at the Katholisches Gemeindehaus Gengenbach, and the show will run through Sunday, 17 June 2018. We have assembled 10 out of the 17 known pieces from a series of small scale Passion Tapestries, which were produced in Strasbourg between c. 1590 and 1620 for a protestant audience. The tapestries -- some of which have never been on public display -- are of very hight quality. Their designs were taken mostly from prints by Albrecht Dürer, but often "made up" by combining them with motives from prints of other german masters of the early 16th century. In addition we will show a related table-tapestry from Strasbourg (1569). We will also point to the surprising fact that protestant reformers such as Heinrich Bullinger from Zurich or Ambrosius Blarer from Konstanz greatly esteemed and protected religious tapestries; Bullinger actually wrote an expertise to that effect. SCHOLAR’S DAY In addition, on Saturday, 16 June 2018, we are organizing a scholar's day exclusively for experts like yourself and it would be wonderful to welcome you on that occasion. We will meet at 3.00 pm for coffee and an official welcome by the city at the Alter Ratssaal, in Gengenbach City Hall. LECTURES 3.30 pm: Salwa Joram (MEK, Berlin): "Anna webt Reformation". A North-German Tapestry Celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the Reformation (1667).
