Pope Francis on Compassion Did You Know SUNDAY Pope Francis on compassion "We have to learn to be on the side of the poor and not just indulge in rhetoric about the poor. Let us go out to meet them, look into their eyes, and listen to them. The poor provide us with a concrete opportunity to encounter Christ himself and to touch his suffering flesh.

  • Th E Bells of St. M Ar
    GOD IS GOD IS FEBRUARY 2017 Dear Saint Mary's family, We are off to a good start for 2017. As I write this letter we are just three full weeks in to the new year and already so much is happening. We have held our first Annual Meeting together, and the response has been very posi- tive. At that meeting we were able to make amendments to the church’s By-Laws that will allow us to go forward with a smaller eight person Vestry, all of whom were elected unanimously by the members present at the meeting. At our February Vestry meeting we will vote for a Junior Warden, Treasurer, and Secretary. With that accomplished we will begin the process of looking at all of the different aspects of the way we at Saint Mary’s currently do things. The end goal of that process is to identify and eliminate any barriers to growth that might not have been considered, and to find ways to improve upon many of the things we are already doing well. To that end, please begin to pray to see if God may be calling you to participate in any of the ministries that currently exist at Saint Mary’s. This is going to be a fun and exciting time for us to bond and grow together as we seek to strengthen the teams and look at the ways they function. Ushers and Greeters, the Flower and Altar Guilds, Eucharistic Ministers and Visi- tors… Perhaps you have a special talent or hobby that could be used to the Glory of God and you have never considered how.

  • The Palm: a Symbol of Hope Luke 19:28-40
    The Palm: A Symbol of Hope Luke 19:28-40 I believe it was Clare Boothe Luce who said, “There are no hopeless situations; there are only people who have grown hopeless about them.” A couple weeks ago, I used as an introduction for my sermon, a story about a farmer whose donkey fell into a well, and thinking that he would not be able to get the donkey out, he called his friends to help him bury the donkey alive. However, with every shovel-full of dirt they threw into the well, the donkey shook the dirt off its back and stepped on the dirt until it was out of the well. I do believe that there is no hopeless situation, not as long as God is in charge. Since God is always in charge, every situation simply becomes a matter of perspective. Today we celebrate Palm Sunday or Passion Sunday, depending on what we choose to focus on in our worship of God. The story of Palm/Passion Sunday is well-known as that time of the Christian calendar of rituals when we remember the account of Jesus’ final journey into Jerusalem for the Passover Feast, just before he was crucified. On this Palm/Passion Sunday, I wish to focus on the theme of “hope” as this morning is we reflect on where is God in this world crisis of the coronavirus. And so especially in a time when people will cleave to anything that offers the slightest glimmer thereof. Some place hope in politics and politicians, some in their mates, some in their child/ren, some in their jobs, some in their bank account, some in their intellect, some in their beauty/comeliness.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Age of Constantine.Pdf
    The Cambridge Companion to THE AGE OF CONSTANTINE S The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Constantine offers students a com- prehensive one-volume introduction to this pivotal emperor and his times. Richly illustrated and designed as a readable survey accessible to all audiences, it also achieves a level of scholarly sophistication and a freshness of interpretation that will be welcomed by the experts. The volume is divided into five sections that examine political history, reli- gion, social and economic history, art, and foreign relations during the reign of Constantine, a ruler who gains in importance because he steered the Roman Empire on a course parallel with his own personal develop- ment. Each chapter examines the intimate interplay between emperor and empire and between a powerful personality and his world. Collec- tively, the chapters show how both were mutually affected in ways that shaped the world of late antiquity and even affect our own world today. Noel Lenski is Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. A specialist in the history of late antiquity, he is the author of numerous articles on military, political, cultural, and social history and the monograph Failure of Empire: Valens and the Roman State in the Fourth Century ad.

  • Was Constantinople Founded As a Christian Capital?
    WAS CONSTANTINOPLE FOUNDED AS A CHRISTIAN CAPITAL? by JOHN HOLLAND A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MPhil (B) in Late Antiquity Institute of Ancient Antiquity School of Historical Studies University of Birmingham March 2004 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the theory of Krautheimer that Constantinople was founded as a Christian Capital. This theory is compared to the work of Dagron who believed the city was founded with a much more dynastic motive in mind. Under discussion are the buildings, such as the Mausoleum and Hippodrome as well as the images used by Constantine in Constantinople. The conclusions are that it was not a Christian city and that although there are elements that suggest it was in competition to Rome this was not the primary motive in the foundation. Although there are elements of the city that would become important in the future as important to the creation of Byzantium as a successor to Rome it is argued this was not the situation when the city was founded.

  • Keeping the Muslim Culture Alive Full Book W.Pdf
    The Multicultural Inter-Agency Group of Peel (MIAG), Peel Community Connections (PCC) and project partners have been working with the Muslim community to develop this resource book. Funding for this book has come from the Ontario Early Years Challenge Fund. As part of our “Diverse-city: A Strategy for Change” project, songs and stories from the Muslim community have been collected, translated and compiled into this book. BOOK FORMAT Keeping the Muslim Culture Alive has been designed to reinforce the importance of culture and tradition in the lives of our children. It has been designed to include songs and stories from various countries as well as to include some child rearing information for parents/caregivers. Countries have been sectioned off by continent to appear in the following order: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. General parenting tips are found after the songs. A SPECIAL NOTE Although there is a great diversity in infant care practices in the different societies, babies are considered precious in every one. Appreciate Multiculturalism: Children are usually open to different cultures. Most of them have gone to fully integrated schools from the beginning. They have been provided a wealth of life experiences that are just not available to children living and studying in predominantly mono-cultural societies.

Because of centuries of false doctrine and anti-Semitism on the part of the church leaders, much of the Christian community has little or no understanding of the parental role of the Jewish faith. They forget that Jesus, the central figure in Christianity, was a practicing member of the Jewish church. This project's goals are to teach a smalI popu1ation of Christians some minor details of Judaism, but more importantly, to instill a deep appreciation in Christians' hearts for the Jewish faith and tradition. To determine the relative knowledge of Christians, different age groups of members of Central Baptist Church of Bearden were surveyed.
