  • Draft 5 for Printing
    Jan Milí č of Kroměř íž and Emperor Charles IV: Preaching, Power, and the Church of Prague Eleanor Janega UCL Thesis Submitted for the degree of PhD in History 1 I, Eleanor Janega, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in my thesis. 2 Abstract During the second half of the fourteenth century Jan Milí č of Krom ěř íž became an active and popular preacher in Prague. The sermons which he delivered focused primarily on themes of reform, and called for a renewal within the church. Despite a sustained popularity with the lay populace of Prague, Milí č faced opposition to his practice from many individual members of the city’s clergy. Eventually he was the subject of twelve articles of accusation sent to the papal court of Avignon. Because of the hostility which Milí č faced, historians have most often written of him as a precursor to the Hussites. As a result he has been identified as an anti-establishment rabble-rouser and it has been assumed that he conducted his career in opposition to the court of the Emperor Charles IV. This thesis, over four body chapters, examines the careers of both Milí č and Charles and argues that instead of being enemies, the two men shared an amicable relationship. The first chapter examines Milí č’s career and will prove that he was well-connected to Charles and several members of his court. It will also examine the most common reasons given to argue that Charles and Milí č were at odds, and disprove them.

    Newsletter of St. James Episcopal Church Walk with us in God’s love January 2020 St. James Capital Campaign Communication Team Introduces Theme and Visual Identity In October 2019, the St. James Vestry approved a major initiative to address critical building needs and to provide direc- tion for a parish-wide vision for our future. Horizons Stewardship, a company specializing in capital campaign manage- ment, has been retained to guide our efforts. Assigned the responsibility to develop a theme and visual identity, the Communication Team is pleased to introduce them to you. CONNECTING OUR ENERGY For a Vibrant Community Background for Campaign Theme: For every major initiative, there is a need to energize the community of stake-holders. The communi- cations team agrees that an action-driven theme incorporating the involvement of everyone who has a past, present or future connec- tion with St. James is essential to the success of our mission. During our theme-development meeting, the communications team shared examples of multiple opportunities to make strong connections between individuals, groups and activities. These examples illustrated how the skills, strengths and energy of diverse backgrounds, ages, family structure and relationships with the church will drive our future. Using “connecting” and “energy” as our key words for the theme, the team defined seven ways in which each person with a relationship to St. James can take positive action. As we implement plans for participation in the 2020 St. James Capital Campaign, we encourage you and your group to use these as questions. We hope the responses will energize your team’s commitment to our shared vision of a vibrant future.

    The PulsePulse NOVEMBER 2015 THE SAINT JAMES PRESBYTERIAN MONTHLY NEWSLETTER Welcome Rev. Janet Sonnanburg! After a period of focused energy and prayerful consideration, the Session has invited the Rev. Janet Sonnanburg to serve as the Interim Pastor for St. James with a one year contract renewable for a second year. She will be with us for approximately one to two years. We feel very fortunate that she is available for St. James as she is keenly attuned to the ministry that we provide in Bellingham, and is eager to support us in our work. She answered every question with depth and directness and she gave us a clear sense of her theology, worship style, programmatic and administrative leadership. We value a collegial partnership with our pastor and she will provide it. She will provide us excellent resources for pastoral care, Bible studies and leadership training. She is highly regarded in the Presbytery and her interim work has been reported as very successful. We look forward to having her at Saint James. Her first Sunday in the pulpit will be November 1, 2015. Here’s a little bit about her. She grew up in the Pacific Northwest, except for 4 years in Korea where her father worked for USAID. Her parents had two sets of twins, both boy/girl. Janet’s twin and she are just 13 months younger than her older brother and sister. While in Korea, her parents added a younger sister to the family, adopting a girl from the orphanage in Seoul where her mother was volunteering. She graduated from Whitworth College and Princeton Seminary.

  • The Saint Mystery Library Are Almost All Anthologies
    The Saint Books An overview The two book series indexed here are only indirectly related to each other. In each case the books were issued by the company that was then publishing The Saint Mystery Magazine. However, the magazine had changed hands between the two series, including a year’s hiatus between the two publishers. The two constants over the magazine’s history were the editorial direction of Leslie Charteris and the direct editorship of Hans Stefan Santesson. The publisher of Great American Publications was given as Henry Scharf in issues of The Saint Mystery Magazine. The ownership of Fiction Publishing Company remains a mystery. One would expect it to be revealed by the annual Post Office-mandated Statements of Ownership in the magazine, but this incarnation did not have a second- class mailing permit so they never printed one. The indexing of each series presents its own problems. The Saint Mystery Library are almost all anthologies. The volumes list Leslie Charteris as the editor of the series, which I have stretched to give him credit as editor of the individual volumes. The Saint Novels were all reprints of previously published Saint books, all by Leslie Charteris. Obviously an author Index of the book titles for either series would have only one author: Leslie Charteris. Thus I have dispensed with that level of Author Index and produced a combined Author Index, containing both the book titles and the contents. The book titles are printed in italics. The usual citations for prior publications of the books didn’t fit into this format, so I annotated them into the Numerical Listings instead.
