    If you have any comments, questions or corrections regarding the below calendar, please contact CSEE at 800.298.4599, or [email protected]. Calendar of Holidays September 2017 - September 2018 September 1 (Begins at sundown on August 31 st) [Moves] Eid al-Adha (Islam) Eid al-Adha is the Festival of Sacrifice held at the conclusion of the Hajj. Those who can afford to do so sacrifice their best domestic animals, such as sheep or cows. This practice recalls Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son, in obedience to God, and commemorates God's forgiveness. September 1 Church year begins (Orthodox Christianity) This day marks the beginning of the Orthodox Christian liturgical calendar. September 8 Nativity of Mary (Christianity) This feast originates in fifth century Jerusalem and celebrates the birth of the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus. This is recognized in the Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches. September 12 Ghambar Paitishem (Zoroastrianism) This is the third of the six Ghambar festivals in the Zoroastrian year. This five-day seasonal festival celebrates the creation of the earth, and the summer crop harvest. September 14 Holy Cross Day (Christianity) This day recognizes the Cross as a symbol of triumph in the Christian religion. The date traces back to the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on September 14, 335. By order of Saint Helena and her son, the first Christian Roman Emperor Constantine, the church was built over the ruins of the Crucifixion and Burial sites in Israel. According to some traditions, it was also at this site that Helena found the True Cross.

Dissertations (1934 -). 109. https://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/109 THE TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY OF IRENAEUS OF LYONS by Jackson Lashier, B.A., M.Div. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2011 ABSTRACT THE TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY OF IRENAEUS OF LYONS Jackson Lashier, B.A., M.Div. Marquette University, 2011 This dissertation is a study of the Trinitarian theology of Irenaeus of Lyons. With the exception of two recent studies, Irenaeus’ Trinitarian theology, particularly in its immanent manifestation, has been devalued by scholarship due to his early dates and his stated purpose of avoiding speculative theology. In contrast to this majority opinion, I argue that Irenaeus’ works show a mature understanding of the Trinity, in both its immanent and economic manifestations, which is occasioned by Valentinianism. Moreover, his Trinitarian theology represents a significant advancement upon that of his sources, the so-called apologists, whose understanding of the divine nature converges in many respects with Valentinian theology. I display this advancement by comparing the thought of Irenaeus with that of Justin, Athenagoras, and Theophilus, on Trinitarian themes. Irenaeus develops Trinitarian theology in the following ways. First, he defines God’s nature as spirit, thus maintaining the divine transcendence through God’s higher order of being as opposed to the use of spatial imagery (God is separated/far away from creation).

I am not referring to the ecclesiastical procedures, but the personal, the individual attributes that qualify one as a saint. On the Sunday after Pentecost, we are called to give our attention to building up the Body of Christ – The Church by becoming “saints”! Responding to the interests of many people, the Rev. Fr. Jon Magoulias and I are blessed to announce that we are planning a pilgrimage from October 12 – 26, 2015 entitled: “Saints Alive”! This experience will take us to some of the most famous and revered sites of our Christian Orthodox Faith. It will enable us to learn the lives of saints who were people just like us and journeyed through life to give glory to God. We will visit Constantinople and the Ecumenical Patriarchate where the relics of many saints are venerated; we will travel to Trabzon (Trebizon) on the Black Sea (known as Pontus) to visit sites that have been only been opened to us in recent years. At Trabzon we will visit the famous monastery of Panaghia Soumela, along with other churches and museums. Today the monastery's primary function is as a tourist attraction. It overlooks forests and streams, making it extremely popular for its aesthetic attraction as well as for its cultural and religious significance. As of 2012, the Turkish government has been funding restoration work, and the monastery is enjoying a revival in pilgrimage from Greece, the USA and Russia.

  • Through the Bible Study Jeremiah 24-26
    THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY JEREMIAH 24-26 Most of us love our country, pray for our leaders, support our troops, even pay our taxes… after we’ve exhausted the loopholes. Actually, most Americans are patriotic. We’d take up arms to defend our country! Nathan Hale, an officer in the Continental Army, was captured by the British Redcoats and sentenced to swing from the gallows. Hale’s final words were, "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." Jeremiah was also a patriot! He loved his nation. I’m sure, He was willing to fight to defend his country! Yet rather than fight, God instructed Jeremiah to advocate surrender. Here was the message: judgment is inevitable, fighting is foolish, the enemy is God’s instrument. To oppose Babylon was to resist God’s will. This was a tough message for a patriot to deliver. It went against his every fiber. It was like asking the Joint Chiefs to initiate a unilateral disarmament. Yet this was the message God called Jeremiah to herald… Chapter 24 begins, “The Lord showed me, and there were two baskets of figs set before the temple of the Lord, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon. One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first "1 ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

  • Latvia Name Day Calendar
    Name Day Calendar “He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.” JOHN 10:3B-4 Name Day Celebration Latvian Style Latvia is one of the few countries in Europe that has the tradition of celebrating Name Days. This unique tradition began as part of the early Christian Church calendar to commemorate the saints and angels. The practice then moved to celebrating the people who were named after a saint. Eventually, other names were added to the calendar to celebrate all people’s names. There are one to five names assigned to each day of the year. The dates and names can’t be interchanged. During Leap Year, February 29 is an open date to celebrate names that are not included in the calendar. Another date reserved as an open date to celebrate names not on the calendar annually is May 22. Name Day is a large part of the culture in Latvia! All the calendars, diaries, and notebooks have the Names printed with the corresponding date. Radio Stations at the beginning of the morning news, broadcast whose name is being celebrated that day. The larger newspapers print the names next to their date of issue for that particular day. It’s like a birthday, but in some ways even better. Your name is mentioned everywhere, even your cell phone providers send you a text greeting. On your Name Day you receive flowers (a standard gift of celebration in Latvia) students and adults alike bring sweets or chocolates to recognize and celebrate.

  • St Andrew for Scotland
    Ancient Wisdom, Modern Mission Following Christ in the Footsteps of the Saints Introduction Adam Court/flickr St Mary’s Church, Beddgelert, Wales, UK Have you ever walked past a church and noticed that its name is that of a saint? And have you ever wondered why so many churches seem to be called after saints? By the fourth century, it began to be the practice to dedicate new churches to a ‘patron’ saint. Images of that person were often displayed in the churches and the name of the saint would be displayed. Today, many churches are dedicated to all kinds of saints, but some Christian denominations now do not use them to dedicate their buildings. The Christian creeds, our statements of what we believe, say that ‘we believe in the communion of saints’, - holy women and men who have been faithful followers of Jesus Christ and who have often lost their lives through persecution of the Christian faith. Some Christian denominations recognise saints ‘days’ in the Christian calendar when particular saints are especially remembered and churches dedicated to particular saints hold special services, ‘patronal festivals’, on those particular days. Across the world, some of these dates are very well known outside the Church, such as St Valentine’s Day on February 14th or the St Patrick’s Day celebrations on March 17th. Some saints are said to be ‘patron saints’ of particular groups of people, sometimes because of some event or legend about their own story. In the UK there are four ‘nation’ saints, St George for England, St David for Wales, St Patrick for Ireland, and St Andrew for Scotland.

  • A Commentary on the Book of Jeremiah by Pastor Galen L
    A Commentary on the Book of Jeremiah By Pastor Galen L. Doughty Southside Christian Church June 2014 INTRODUCTION: This commentary is based upon my personal devotional notes and reflections on the Book of Jeremiah. It is intended to help you better understand some of the background and issues in Jeremiah’s prophecy. It is not a technical commentary designed for academic projects. This material is intended for use by members and friends of Southside Christian Church, especially our Life Group leaders to help you lead your group in a verse by verse study of Jeremiah. However, I do not include discussion questions in the commentary. That I leave up to you as a group leader. In the commentary there are occasional references to the original Hebrew words Jeremiah used in a particular passage. Those Hebrew words are always quoted in italics and are transliterated into English from the Hebrew. I go chapter by chapter in the commentary and sometimes individual verses are commented upon, sometimes it is several sentences and sometimes a whole paragraph. This commentary is based on the New International Version and all Scripture quotations are taken from that version of the Bible. Books of the Bible, Scripture references and quotes are also italicized. KEY HISTORICAL DATES IN THE TIMELINE OF JEREMIAH: Assyria is weakened. Amon son of Manasseh, King of Judah is assassinated, 640. Eight year old Josiah son of Amon becomes King of Judah, 640. Jeremiah called to be a prophet, 627 (the 13th year of Josiah). Josiah begins his reforms, 622. The Book of the Law is found in the temple, 621; 2 Kings 23:1-25.
