  • Directory of Discipline of The
    25 DIRECTORY OF DISCIPLINE OF THE CANONS REGULAR OF THE NEW JERUSALEM I. INTRODUCTION: 1. The principal end of the Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem is the sanctification of its members through the perfection of charity (Constitutions 1, 10, 24b, 55, 59, 63). This end is achieved through means of community life, liturgical worship according to the particular law of the institute, ascetic discipline and religious vows. 2. The purpose of this Directory of Discipline (DOD) is to establish a pattern in daily personal and community practices which assist members in striving towards that charity which is the common goal of all. For this reason this Directory constitutes a set of particular laws intended to lead members, and the community as a whole, towards the common goal set forth in the Constitutions. 3. A vocation to the Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem is founded in a voluntary self-abandonment to God through the context of its common life. Deliberate disregard of the Rule, Constitutions or Directory of Discipline contradicts the voluntary desire for sanctification expressed by membership. Thus every one incorporated into the CRNJ’s community life is, by his own free choice, bound to obey the whole of the Rule, Constitutions and DOD in a spirit of Christian perfection (cf. Cons., 60, 61). 4. Voluntary disobedience constitutes a breach of charity which effects the life of the community and the member’s place in it. For this reason disobedience is subject to lawful correction for the good of the member and the community as a whole. 5.

  • History of St. John Cantius Parish - Wilno, MN
    History of St. John Cantius Parish - Wilno, MN. Saint John Cantius Church Centenial History 1883-1983 By Project Director and Writer Jean Guggisberg, Hills, MN. p. 28-34. CAP at Orchard Lake. "We Struggled and Stayed" "Come to the fertile bluegrass region of Minnesota...It is blessed with the soil of the river bottoms and the climate of the mountains. It is the home of the cereal grains. Southwestern Minnesota is supplied with an abundance of pure, wholesome water. The surface of the land is made up of rolling prairies, interspersed with natural and domestic groves. The scenery is magnificent." This is how the area in and around Lincoln County was advertised to an oppressed Polish peo- ple. They came here in the 1870's to seek their fortunes. Many of those first settlers who came brought their families, struggled, and stayed. Coming in 1882 were pioneer settlers John Pol- itowski, Andrew Jerzak, John Popowski, John Kruck, Frank Janiszeski and Martin Wexa. When they arrived, they found the land covered with knee-high prairie grasses. The only trees were young saplings growing near the sparse lakes and streams. Since these early settlers couldn't build wood homes, they built dugouts and then sod shanties. Imagine living in a sod shanty during a cold Minnesota winter! In the early 1880's Wilno had no name. It was just a settlement. The land was owned by the Winona and St. Peter Railroad Company, a full subsidiary of the Northwestern Railroad Com- pany of Chicago. Land documents dated March 14, 1882, indicate that pioneer parishioners Michael Felcyn, Waurzyn Felcyn and John Trojanowski purchased 40 acres from this company at a cost of $80.

  • The Beguine Option: a Persistent Past and a Promising Future of Christian Monasticism
    religions Article The Beguine Option: A Persistent Past and a Promising Future of Christian Monasticism Evan B. Howard Department of Ministry, Fuller Theological Seminary 62421 Rabbit Trail, Montrose, CO 81403, USA; [email protected] Received: 1 June 2019; Accepted: 3 August 2019; Published: 21 August 2019 Abstract: Since Herbert Grundmann’s 1935 Religious Movements in the Middle Ages, interest in the Beguines has grown significantly. Yet we have struggled whether to call Beguines “religious” or not. My conviction is that the Beguines are one manifestation of an impulse found throughout Christian history to live a form of life that resembles Christian monasticism without founding institutions of religious life. It is this range of less institutional yet seriously committed forms of life that I am here calling the “Beguine Option.” In my essay, I will sketch this “Beguine Option” in its varied expressions through Christian history. Having presented something of the persistent past of the Beguine Option, I will then present an introduction to forms of life exhibited in many of the expressions of what some have called “new monasticism” today, highlighting the similarities between movements in the past and new monastic movements in the present. Finally, I will suggest that the Christian Church would do well to foster the development of such communities in the future as I believe these forms of life hold much promise for manifesting and advancing the kingdom of God in our midst in a postmodern world. Keywords: monasticism; Beguine; spiritual formation; intentional community; spirituality; religious life 1. Introduction What might the future of monasticism look like? I start with three examples: two from the present and one from the past.

  • SAINT BRUNO AS SEEN by HIS CONTEMPORARIES a Selection of Contributions to the Funeral Parchment
    SAINT BRUNO AS SEEN BY HIS CONTEMPORARIES A Selection of Contributions to the Funeral Parchment TRANSLATED BY A CARTHUSIAN MONK N INTRODUCTION Bruno the hermit Bruno was born around the year 1030 in the city of Cologne, Germany. After studies at the cathedral school there, he was promoted to be a canon of the Church of Saint Cunibert. To complete his studies he moved to Rheims, in France, to the famous cathedral school there. In 1059, not yet thirty years old, he was promoted to the post of direc- tor of studies and chancellor. At about the same time he is appointed a canon of the Cathedral of Rheims. During a period of twenty years Bruno is responsible for the in- tellectual formation of the elite of his time. He gets acquainted with many people who will occupy important positions in Church and so- ciety later on. His disciples hold him in high esteem and will remain grateful for the deep formation they received under his guidance, not only intellectual but also spiritual. However, his time, like ours, is a time of contradictions and radi- cal changes. To stand up against corruption in the Church, the Popes call for a reform ‘in head and members’. Bruno does not keep aloof from this reform, but with several fellow canons firmly makes his stand against his own Archbishop, Manassès, when it becomes clear that the latter is only after power and pursuit of gain. To get his re- 1 venge, the Archbishop expels Bruno from the Diocese. He is only able to return when Manassès is finally deposed by the Pope himself.

  • A Brief History of Medieval Monasticism in Denmark (With Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia)
    religions Article A Brief History of Medieval Monasticism in Denmark (with Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia) Johnny Grandjean Gøgsig Jakobsen Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, University of Copenhagen, 2300 Copenhagen, Denmark; [email protected] Abstract: Monasticism was introduced to Denmark in the 11th century. Throughout the following five centuries, around 140 monastic houses (depending on how to count them) were established within the Kingdom of Denmark, the Duchy of Schleswig, the Principality of Rügen and the Duchy of Estonia. These houses represented twelve different monastic orders. While some houses were only short lived and others abandoned more or less voluntarily after some generations, the bulk of monastic institutions within Denmark and its related provinces was dissolved as part of the Lutheran Reformation from 1525 to 1537. This chapter provides an introduction to medieval monasticism in Denmark, Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia through presentations of each of the involved orders and their history within the Danish realm. In addition, two subchapters focus on the early introduction of monasticism to the region as well as on the dissolution at the time of the Reformation. Along with the historical presentations themselves, the main and most recent scholarly works on the individual orders and matters are listed. Keywords: monasticism; middle ages; Denmark Citation: Jakobsen, Johnny Grandjean Gøgsig. 2021. A Brief For half a millennium, monasticism was a very important feature in Denmark. From History of Medieval Monasticism in around the middle of the 11th century, when the first monastic-like institutions were Denmark (with Schleswig, Rügen and introduced, to the middle of the 16th century, when the last monasteries were dissolved Estonia).

  • Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England
    Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England by Christian D. Knudsen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of the Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto Copyright © by Christian D. Knudsen ABSTRACT Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England Christian D. Knudsen Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto This dissertation examines monastic sexual misconduct in cloistered religious houses in the dioceses of Lincoln and Norwich between and . Traditionally, any study of English monasticism during the late Middle Ages entailed the chronicling of a slow decline and decay. Indeed, for nearly years, historiographical discourse surrounding the Dissolution of Monasteries (-) has emphasized its inevitability and presented late medieval monasticism as a lacklustre institution characterized by worsening standards, corruption and even sexual promiscuity. As a result, since the Dissolution, English monks and nuns have been constructed into naughty characters. My study, centred on the sources that led to this claim, episcopal visitation records, will demonstrate that it is an exaggeration due to the distortion in perspective allowed by the same sources, and a disregard for contextualisation and comparison between nuns and monks. In Chapter one, I discuss the development of the monastic ‘decline narrative’ in English historiography and how the theme of monastic lasciviousness came to be so strongly associated with it. Chapter two presents an overview of the historical background of late medieval English monasticism and my methodological approach to the sources. ii Abstract iii In Chapter three, I survey some of the broad characteristics of monastic sexual misconduct.
