  • I ABSTRACT FOLLOWING OUR RABBI: DISCOVERING AN
    i ABSTRACT FOLLOWING OUR RABBI: DISCOVERING AN APPRENTICE MODEL OF DISCIPLESHIP by Judith L. Ransbottom-Stallons What happens when we forget how to follow our Rabbi? We lose our direction and look for something or someone else to follow: a charismatic leader, the latest trend, the most popular text. When none of it works, we are left scratching our heads and wordlessly wondering what it is we are doing wrong. It is the quandary of the 21st century church, and for the purposes of this paper, The United Methodist Church in the Kentucky Annual Conference. Some churches grow no matter what. Some churches close no matter what. Yet, the possibilities for substantive growth may have measurable potential if every church restored what it means to follow our Rabbi. In the case of Christendom, our Rabbi is Jesus the Christ. We keep reading more books and attending more seminars, yet it does not seem to catch fire the way we imagined it would. Church membership dwindles, baptisms and professions of faith are sometimes rare occurrences, so we are missing something. Through the distribution of surveys to pastors within the Kentucky Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church who have utilized either Spiritual Leadership Inc. or 3DM as their top choice for renewing church vitality and what it means to “make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world,” this dissertation seeks to rediscover what it looks like to follow our Rabbi Jesus and what we ii are missing that keeps us from fully realizing our mission statement and our Commission from Christ.

The King insisted that a more thorough search be undertaken. Thomas Wintour begged to be hanged for himself and his brother, so that his brother might be spared. Thomas Wintour and Littleton, on their way from Huddington to Holbeche House, were told by a messenger that Catesby had died. Details of the assassination attempt were allegedly known by the principal Jesuit of England, Father Henry Garnet. Synopsis About this title With a narrative that grips the reader like a detective story, Antonia Fraser brings the characters and events of the Gunpowder Plot to life. Seven of the prisoners were taken from the Tower to the Star Chamber by barge. As news of "John Johnson's" arrest spread among the plotters still in London, most fled northwest, along Watling Street. Seller Inventory aa2a43fc1e57f0bdf. At first glance, it might seem a little odd that I am reading a book so closely connected with November and Bonfire Night at the beginning of August. He also spoke of a Christian union and reiterated his desire to avoid religious persecution. Macbeth , Act 2 Scene 3. This is a complex story, with many players, both high and low, but Fraser lays it out clearly and concisely.

  • Justice Loreto Schools Australia
    Justice Loreto Schools Australia Seek truth ... do justice. Loreto is committed to a shared mission to transform the Church and the world particularly by empowering women to seek truth and do justice. LORETO SISTERS AUSTRALIA & SOUTH EAST ASIA MISSION STATEMENT INTRODUCTION Across this week our land and Church are marking the tenth anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations, Chinese New Year, Tet and the beginning of Lent. Major investigations are underway into the banks and the wealth of the Catholic Church in Australia. Pancakes are being sold in schools, Project Compassion boxes are being distributed and the week ends with a webinar introducing the IBVM/CJ international family to the workings of Mary Ward people at the United Nations as we attempt to address the Sustainable Development Goals platform. In a nutshell, the week holds out to us the many challenges facing our land and Church at this time. Our Loreto schools are gifted with a framework and tools for educating for justice in our desire to follow Jesus, the signposts provided by Mary Ward and her followers across the centuries, Principles of Catholic Social Teaching, Australian Bishops’ Social Justice Statements, the Calls of the 2014 General Congregation, the Compass produced by the 2017 Loreto Education Conference in South Africa, Towards Global Citizenship material from the IBVM desk at the UN and invitations from Mary Ward International Australia to work in solidarity with women and men in our region seeking justice for their children and their communities. This small Resource Booklet is a simple springboard into some reflection on this Mary Ward virtue; a virtue that is unsettling, multivalent and challenging.

  • Fiestas and Fervor: Religious Life and Catholic Enlightenment in the Diocese of Barcelona, 1766-1775
    FIESTAS AND FERVOR: RELIGIOUS LIFE AND CATHOLIC ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE DIOCESE OF BARCELONA, 1766-1775 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrea J. Smidt, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Dale K. Van Kley, Adviser Professor N. Geoffrey Parker Professor Kenneth J. Andrien ____________________ Adviser History Graduate Program ABSTRACT The Enlightenment, or the "Age of Reason," had a profound impact on eighteenth-century Europe, especially on its religion, producing both outright atheism and powerful movements of religious reform within the Church. The former—culminating in the French Revolution—has attracted many scholars; the latter has been relatively neglected. By looking at "enlightened" attempts to reform popular religious practices in Spain, my project examines the religious fervor of people whose story usually escapes historical attention. "Fiestas and Fervor" reveals the capacity of the Enlightenment to reform the Catholicism of ordinary Spaniards, examining how enlightened or Reform Catholicism affected popular piety in the diocese of Barcelona. This study focuses on the efforts of an exceptional figure of Reform Catholicism and Enlightenment Spain—Josep Climent i Avinent, Bishop of Barcelona from 1766- 1775. The program of “Enlightenment” as sponsored by the Spanish monarchy was one that did not question the Catholic faith and that championed economic progress and the advancement of the sciences, primarily benefiting the elite of Spanish society. In this context, Climent is noteworthy not only because his idea of “Catholic Enlightenment” opposed that sponsored by the Spanish monarchy but also because his was one that implicitly condemned the present hierarchy of the Catholic Church and explicitly ii advocated popular enlightenment and the creation of a more independent “public sphere” in Spain by means of increased literacy and education of the masses.

  • The Reformation
    The Reformation Characters of the Reformation Hilaire Belloc In bold living colours Belloc sketches 23 famous men and women of the Reformation period, analysing their strengths, weaknesses, mistakes and motives and pinpointing deeds that changed the course of history. There are more than a few surprises here, as Belloc often puts the real responsibility for the Reformation on persons not usually appreciated by history. He describes the characters and deeds of real people, tracing the results of their greed, lust, tenacity, blindness, fear and - in the case of St Thomas More - heroic Catholic constancy. TAN 978 089555466 6 210 pages £7.99 How the Reformation Happened Hilaire Belloc Belloc provides a largely untold story that answers a critical historical question about Western civilization: How did Christendom come to suffer shipwreck in the Protestant Reformation? He admits that corruption among churchmen and clerical abuses in the use of church revenues prepared the way for the flood of revolt. But he uncovers other, more decisive, factors involved in the movement. He demonstrates that it was not doctrine, but rather avarice and rebellion against the clergy, that originally fuelled the Reformation. TAN 978 089555465 9 224 pages £7.99 Luther and His Progeny Edited by John C Rao 500 Years of Protestantism & Its Consequences for Church, State and Society A brilliant collection of essays examining Martin Luther's role in the dissolution of medieval Christendom and his influence on subsequent developments. Anyone who wants to understand the long decline from the Catholic Middle Ages to the secular present will find a wealth of insight in this book.
