ECCLESIA: Church Problems Considered, IN A SERIES OF ESSAYS. EDITED BY HENRY ROBERT REYNOLDS, D.D., PRESIDENT OF CHESHUNT COLLEGE; FELLOW OF UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON. London; HODDER AND STOUGHTON, 27, PATERNOSTER ROW. MDCCCLXX. Ecclesia v1_Ecclesia 18 November 2009 00:54 Page 4 4 ecclesia ADVERTISEMENT. THE principles of self-government, and of personal and congregational freedom, are asserting themselves with great force through the entire ecclesiastical sphere. Reverence for conscience is widely associated with the craving for truth. Those who have enjoyed any special opportunities for acquiring knowledge, or whose opinions on controverted questions represent a peculiar phase of our national life, are encouraged to speak freely. The present is not, therefore, an inappropriate time for writers who have long been practically acquainted with the excellencies and aims of a considerable section of the Free Churches of Britain, to give combined utterance to some of the theological, ecclesiastical, and political principles, which are more or less embodied in these organizations. The following Essays have been written independently of each other. This circumstance may be held to explain occasional repetition of arguments from different points of view, and some variations of sentiment. The authors are severally and solely responsible for the ideas they have ventured to express. JANUARY, 1870. CONTENTS. I.

Ecclesia v1_Ecclesia 18 November 2009 00:54 Page 6 6 ecclesia 1 PRIMITIVE ECCLESIA: ITS AUTHORITATIVE PRINCIPLES AND ITS MODERN REPRESENTATIONS. THOSE who are acquainted with English Ecclesiastical Controversy must be struck with the change which has come over it of late years. It used to be the fashion to recognize Scripture as our supreme authority upon this subject, to repair to it as the main storehouse of argument, and to regard it throughout as the last standard of appeal. No doubt the old mode of discussion had its dis- advantages; texts were handled in a narrow unscientific spirit of criticism; some were applied to a service which a larger and more accurate acquaintance with the Divine records cannot justify; and some, by being squeezed, crushed, and distorted, were made to mean much more than could have been originally designed. The amount of information on ecclesiastical points was not carefully measured, not correctly estimated; more was supposed to be taught than a deep and thorough investigation warrants us to believe. By some controversialists little or no scope was left for the action of enlightened reason in the application of what the Bible teaches, and in the practical administration of matters concerning which the Bible is silent. 2 The method is now changed. Ecclesiastical subjects are commonly debated on grounds of history, expediency, and reason. By many writers no endeavour at all is made to ascertain, by a survey of those parts of Scripture which refer to the primitive Church, what was the nature of its institutes; and, consequently, the question is not asked—After what manner should the teaching of the New Testament be applied to the regulation of Church affairs in the present day? Here and there a text of Scripture may be cited, if it happen to agree with a prior Ecclesia v1_Ecclesia 18 November 2009 00:54 Page 7 proof-reading draft 7 conclusion, or if it should chance to discredit an an- tagonist’s position. Interest and novelty may, according to this method, be imparted to a discussion of well-worn topics. The danger of a threadbare iteration of familiar quotations may be avoided; a philosophical cast may dig- nify a discussion. Light may be shed upon political and social problems, and practical suggestions of considerable value may be pertinently supplied; but the point is left untouched—What help does the Bible afford in these matters? Yet, surely, that is the chief question after all. At any rate the inquiry is one of great interest. If the classical scholar devotes himself to the study of all he can find in the literature of the ancients, bearing any relation to the rise of the Greek Republics, or to the early stages of the Roman Commonwealth—if English readers delight to trace whatever can be discovered respecting the early constitution of the government of this country; surely a Christian man must feel pleasure in examining every Scripture reference, even the most minute, to early com- munities,—which, beyond those of Greece or Rome, or England, are affecting our moral and religious destinies as individuals, and are really the parent stock from which have sprung all the ecclesiastical organizations of Christendom. If the sacred notices of a primitive Church be so few, 3 so scanty, and so insufficient, that no idea can be satisfac- torily formed of its fundamental principles; or if Scripture conclusions on the subject are inapplicable to the set- tlement of modern controversies; or if the conditions of society have so completely changed, that apostolical precedents are necessarily obsolete; at least let these positions be clearly established, that we may know just where we are, and search after sufficient reasons for placing the whole subject upon a new foundation. In the following Essay we must bear in mind the position into which Church questions have drifted, and direct our investigations accordingly. Ecclesia v1_Ecclesia 18 November 2009 00:54 Page 8 8 ecclesia The main object will be to ascertain what may be learnt from the New Testament respecting the nature of the primitive Ecclesia; to consider how far its principles are binding upon Christendom; to discover the bearing of our conclusions upon a great question of the present day; and to point out to what extent the Scripture ideal is embodied in existing organizations. WHAT WAS THE CHARACTER OF THE PRIMITIVE ECCLESIA? The first Ecclesia—or Church–consisted of the be- lievers in Jerusalem, including the Apostles of Jesus Christ, the disciples who associated with them after the Ascension, and the persons who, on the day of Pentecost embraced the faith. Drawn out of the world by mutual sympathies springing from an experience at once new and blessed, and evincing a simplicity of character perhaps as great as their knowledge generally was small, they communed, worshipped, and worked together, in order to propagate the truths which they had received fresh from heaven. The genesis and formation of this kind of community —this clustering of men around certain Divine prin- 4 ciples of faith, fellowship, and order—and the unfolding of so new and strange a social nebula into new and strange social worlds, may be studied historically and analytically—the progress of the idea in its practical embodiment being traceable step by step through the Acts, the Epistles, and the Apocalypse until the word Church, at first popular and vague, assumes a technical precision—and the sympathetic gathering, on the first Pentecost at Jerusalem, reappears in the seven organized societies of Asia Minor. The earliest idea of a Christian Church is that of a brotherhood for the maintenance and diffusion of religious convictions. Associations for religious and benevolent purposes, apart from a distinct recognition of particular opinions, have been common enough in all ages; but such associations are plainly Ecclesia v1_Ecclesia 18 November 2009 00:54 Page 9 proof-reading draft 9 distinguishable from the Ecclesiæ of the Acts. For the disciples in Jerusalem were emphatically believers; the pupils of a Divine Teacher, the earnest and devout re- cipients and advocates of truths unknown to, or opposed by, the world around them. The new converts continued steadfastly in “the apostles’ doctrine;” their confederation from its commencement being “a pillar and ground of truth.” Whether or not the term doctrine be meant in the rigid sense of dogma—whether the word “truth” be equivalent to theological principles or Christian senti- ments—at any rate the shield as first displayed by the Church was not like the shield of Amphiaraus, a blank surface without device, but rather like the shield of Minerva, which Phidias made with his name inwrought in such a manner, that the one could not be extracted without destroying the other. No merely vague re- ligious feeling constituted the nexus of fellowship, but faith in a Divine name, the name of the world’s Redeemer: faith in Him as a Divine person, the ground of penitential trust, and the foundation of saintly, hope—faith in the 5 doctrines respecting Him taught by men who “spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” Primitive truth and the primitive Church were one: or at least so con- nected do they appear that the idea of the latter dissolves, when the idea of the former is withdrawn.

  • Constraints on the Timescale of Animal Evolutionary History
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history Michael J. Benton, Philip C.J. Donoghue, Robert J. Asher, Matt Friedman, Thomas J. Near, and Jakob Vinther ABSTRACT Dating the tree of life is a core endeavor in evolutionary biology. Rates of evolution are fundamental to nearly every evolutionary model and process. Rates need dates. There is much debate on the most appropriate and reasonable ways in which to date the tree of life, and recent work has highlighted some confusions and complexities that can be avoided. Whether phylogenetic trees are dated after they have been estab- lished, or as part of the process of tree finding, practitioners need to know which cali- brations to use. We emphasize the importance of identifying crown (not stem) fossils, levels of confidence in their attribution to the crown, current chronostratigraphic preci- sion, the primacy of the host geological formation and asymmetric confidence intervals. Here we present calibrations for 88 key nodes across the phylogeny of animals, rang- ing from the root of Metazoa to the last common ancestor of Homo sapiens. Close attention to detail is constantly required: for example, the classic bird-mammal date (base of crown Amniota) has often been given as 310-315 Ma; the 2014 international time scale indicates a minimum age of 318 Ma.

  • Authority and Control in the Interior of Asia Minor, Seventh–Ninth Centuries
    chapter 4 Authority and Control in the Interior of Asia Minor, Seventh–Ninth Centuries James Howard-Johnston 1 Asia Minor and the Onset of the War for Survival: Cities, Villages and Fortresses Byzantium cannot be demarcated clearly from its greater, antecedent, imperial self. The name is a term of art, used to pick out the most Roman of the Roman successor states. Continuity being so marked in terms of constitution, institu- tions (notably those which sustained a traditional fiscal prowess), infrastruc- ture and, not least, culture and religion, the east Roman empire simply shades into a reduced but still ideologically potent early medieval state. But change was forced upon it from without, by successive defeats at the hands of Mus- lims, by successive losses of territory to the Muslim umma. At the beginning of the eighth century, the authority of east Roman emperors was confined to a well-defended but exposed capital city, enclaves in the far west (Sicily, south- ern Italy and the exarchate of Ravenna) and north-east (part of the Crimea and the western Caucasus), tracts in the western, southern and south-eastern Balkans (often under no more than nominal Roman control), the islands of the Aegean, and one substantial, defensible land-mass, Asia Minor. Asia Minor became the heartland of the rump-empire from the 640s, its most important resource-base, the great eastern bulwark of Constantinople. Explanations for the extraordinary resilience shown by Byzantium in its 200-year-long battle for survival and the success ultimately achieved have to be sought as much in the evolving structures, social, economic, administrative, of Asia Minor as in poli- cies formulated at the centre and the ideology which underpinned the will to fight on.1 1 This paper represents views developed over many years of reading and teaching.

  • About Natstand Family Documents
    natstand: last updated 21/11/2018 URL: www.natstand.org.uk/pdf/LeesE000.pdf Root person: Edwin Lees (1800 – 1887) Description: Family document Creation date: version 2.0 2018 November 18 Prepared by: Richard Middleton Notes: Press items reproduced with kind permission of The British Newspaper Archive (www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk) About Natstand family documents: A Natstand family document is intended to provide background information concerning the family of a deceased naturalist. It is hoped that such information will form a framework which will help interpret their surviving correspondence, specimens and records. In some cases it will also give an insight into the influences on their early lives and the family constraints within which they worked and collected. We have found that published family data concerning individuals rarely contain justification for dates and relationships and not infrequently contain errors which are then perpetuated. The emphasis in Natstand family documents will be on providing references to primary sources, whenever possible, which will be backed-up with transcriptions. Although a Natstand biography page will always carry a link to a family document, in many cases these documents will be presented without any further biographical material. We anticipate that this will occur if the person is particularly well known or is someone we are actively researching or have only a peripheral interest in. The following conventions are used: Any persons in the family tree with known natural history associations will be indicated in red type. Any relationships will be to the root naturalist unless otherwise stated. Dates are presented Year – Month – Day e.g.

  • " the Palmy Days of Trade": Anglo-American Culture In
    “The Palmy Days of Trade”: Anglo-American Culture in Savannah, 1735-1835 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences 2013 By Feay Shellman Coleman M.A., University of Georgia, 1977 B.A., Connecticut College, 1971 Committee Chair: Professor David Stradling ABSTRACT This dissertation is a transnational study that traces the religious, economic, and cultural factors that kept the bonds between Savannah, Georgia and Great Britain strong and vital long after the United States achieved political independence. Through an analysis of Savannah’s pre-eminent merchant family, the Boltons, and their associates, this study demonstrates that enduring connections to Great Britain influenced both the built environment and cultural spaces that Savannahians occupied for about a century-- from Georgia’s founding in 1735 until 1835. Evidence drawn from material culture as well as a fresh reading of traditional sources support this thesis. In addition to documents, primary sources that anchor the analysis include buildings and neighborhoods where Savannahians worshiped, lived, and worked in England and America. Because material culture embodies the social meanings of the economic, religious, and domestic purposes it serves, analysis of specific buildings and neighborhoods in Savannah as counterparts to English prototypes proves the case for common culture. Throughout the dissertation, both material culture and a traditional array of documentary sources reinforce the arguments. Since this study embraces material culture and urban spatial relationships as potent sources, resulting insights break boundaries that have limited scholarship in the past.
