Crook Rather than claim to show the “essence” of Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, this book shows the diversity within Jewish, Christian, and Islamic experience, theological dispute, and practice. Rather than rely solely on the traditional theorists of religion, the “giants,” this book updates the approach, relying also on the newest critical thinkers on defining, classifying, and studying religion. Rather than present Latter-Day Saints and Baha’i Religion as among the New Religious Movements, this book treats them as part of the continuing history of religion, growing out of and within Christianity and Islam respec- tively.

    SYNOPSIS REPORT the Workshop Musiqi Suryayto Was Convened In

    EU Grundtvig Workshop MUSIQI SURYAYTO (Rijssen, 3-7 July 2013) SYNOPSIS REPORT The workshop Musiqi Suryayto was convened in Rijssen, the Netherlands, July 3-7 2013. The Inanna Foundation organized this workshop whose aim was to bring scholars, musicians and learners together to work on the development of the contemporary Assyrian/Syriac music. As the first gathering of its kind, the principal purposes of this historically unique workshop was to discuss the main problems and challenges facing contemporary Musiqi Suryayto, to provide a learning platform for people interested in the innovation of Musiqi Suryayto and to improve the quality of the music produced by Assyrian/Syriac musicians in Europe. Twenty-nine participants from various European countries, the United States, Iraq and Lebanon either gave presentations or simply attended the workshop. The participation of 20 participants from Europe was financed by the EU Grundtvig Lifelong Learning Programme. Aware of the historical significance of this gathering, the workshop organizers (the Inanna Foundation) endeavored to attract all the key figures in the field of Assyrian/Syriac music. Unfortunately, for various reasons not all could attend . The participation of two non-European guests was partly sponsored by the generous contributions from the Assyrischer Jugendverband Mitteleuropa (AJM) and some other people who attended to the workshop. We would like to thank all contributors for their support. The workshop programme was structured to cover all the different aspects of the Assyrian/Syriac music. On the first day, Dr Naures Atto and Soner Onder welcomed the participants, introduced the agenda and opened the workshop. In their opening speech, they elaborated on the historical importance of this gathering and raised some core questions to which the workshop should pay particular attention.

  • A Study of Early Anabaptism As Minority Religion in German Fiction

    A Study of Early Anabaptism As Minority Religion in German Fiction

    Heresy or Ideal Society? A Study of Early Anabaptism as Minority Religion in German Fiction DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ursula Berit Jany Graduate Program in Germanic Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Barbara Becker-Cantarino, Advisor Professor Katra A. Byram Professor Anna Grotans Copyright by Ursula Berit Jany 2013 Abstract Anabaptism, a radical reform movement originating during the sixteenth-century European Reformation, sought to attain discipleship to Christ by a separation from the religious and worldly powers of early modern society. In my critical reading of the movement’s representations in German fiction dating from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, I explore how authors have fictionalized the religious minority, its commitment to particular theological and ethical aspects, its separation from society, and its experience of persecution. As part of my analysis, I trace the early historical development of the group and take inventory of its chief characteristics to observe which of these aspects are selected for portrayal in fictional texts. Within this research framework, my study investigates which social and religious principles drawn from historical accounts and sources influence the minority’s image as an ideal society, on the one hand, and its stigmatization as a heretical and seditious sect, on the other. As a result of this analysis, my study reveals authors’ underlying programmatic aims and ideological convictions cloaked by their literary articulations of conflict-laden encounters between society and the religious minority.

  • Syriac Sacred Chant: It's Role in Shaping Liturgical Life

    Syriac Sacred Chant: It's Role in Shaping Liturgical Life

    SYRIAC SACRED CHANT: IT’S ROLE IN SHAPING LITURGICAL LIFE AND COMMUNAL IDENTITY OF THE SYRIAC COMMUNITY By Gabriel Aydin So outstanding is the nature of Syriac sacred music—when the sacred word (text) is fused with the sound (music) creates an extra ordinary power through which the faithful can attain their spiritual goals and lift themselves up from the ordinary to the higher level of consciousness— that the Syriac poet-theologians and hymnographers chose this phenomenon 1600 years ago to knit their prose and poetry that laid the foundation of Syriac rich musical heritage. Their hymns give not only religious reference to and offers a strong view of the liturgical rite and faith of the Syriac church, but also forms an important part of the Syriac both religious and cultural identity, ideology, symbols, moral values, and the collective cultural memory of Syriac Christians. A very short overview of the Syriac chant will promote our understanding as well as the significance of this musical phenomenon. Syriac sacred chant, is one of the oldest existing chant traditions (similar to the western tradition of plainsong), composed in Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic, the language that was spoken by Jesus Christ, together with their melodies. Among the large number of distinct features that are embedded in Syriac sacred chant, a) simplicity in text and melody (so that the theological reasoning that lays behind the text would be easily comprehended by diverse communities, simple worshippers and monastics to embrace the Word of God), b) along with sacred text, various musical characteristics of Syriac chant such as the microtonal variation of intervals, words in metrics, the melodic construction, dynamics, modal system of eight—which represent the impressive formulae of the earlier evolution of the Syriac church in the field of ecclesiastical music—are a couple of vital entities that function in tandem to produce a consistent, compelling, and spiritual sacred chant.
  • Excerpts from Liner Notes

    Excerpts from Liner Notes

    Excerpts from the liner notes to Solemn High Mass of the Syro-Malabar Church EAST MEETS EAST, IN THE WEST George Thaila and I share similar musical backgrounds. We both grew up in the 1950s, listening to and singing Syriac chants in our respective Syro-Malabar parishes in Kerala. The liturgy was still in Syriac; we learned to sing the chants often without understanding the meaning of the text. Even after the vernacularization of liturgy in the 1960s, old Syriac melodies that originated in the Syriac churches in West Asia continued to be in vogue, as they are today, and we sang them with the new Malayalam text. In our later years we received training in Indian classical vocal music, Thaila in the Karnātak (South Indian) tradition at Madras University in Chennai, and myself in the Hindustāni (North Indian) tradition at Maharaja Sayajirao University in Baroda. We met for the first time in New York in 1990,soon after our arrival there from India. Since then, we have collaborated on several occasions to conduct church choirs and give stage performances of Christian bhajans and Syriac chants. These shared historical and musical experiences directly and indirectly influenced the compositional process. In many instances, Thaila and I turned to the Syriac and Indian classical traditions for inspiration. For example, the performance practice of singing the same melody in three ascending pitch registers in # 1 & 5 probably developed in the Syriac tradition and later reached the Latin Church; it is prevalent even today in the Roman Catholic churches in the performance of "This is the wood of the Cross" (Ecce lignum crucis) in the Good Friday service (a Syriac translation of this chant sung in three ascending pitch registers can be heard in # 20 in the CD, Qambel Māran: Syriac Chants from South India).

    Switzerland 2019 International Religious Freedom Report

    SWITZERLAND 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution guarantees freedom of faith and conscience, and it and the penal code prohibit discrimination against any religion or its members. The constitution delegates regulation of the relationship between government and religious groups to the 26 cantons. A law in the canton of St. Gallen entered into force barring the wearing of facial concealments in public if deemed a threat to security or peace. A Federal Council decree to provide 500,000 Swiss francs ($518,000) annually to enhance protection of Jewish, Muslim, and other religious minority institutions went into effect in November. In February the state prosecutor in Schaffhausen Canton rejected a complaint against a cantonal police officer who fined a Muslim man for publicly saying “Allahu akbar” while greeting a friend in 2018. In February voters in Geneva Canton approved a law banning the wearing of visible religious symbols in the workplace by cantonal government officials, but a Geneva court exempted cantonal and communal parliamentarians. In March the Zurich High Court upheld a ruling that a Muslim father violated the law when he failed to send his sons to school rehearsals of a Christmas song. In February the same court upheld a lower court’s 2018 conviction of a man for shouting anti-Semitic epithets at an Orthodox Jew, but it reduced his prison sentence and ruled the man’s cry of “Heil Hitler!” did not constitute Nazi propaganda. A University of Fribourg study said politicians approached non-Christian religions, especially Islam, with caution and showed little political will to award minority religions privileges similar to those of Christian churches.

    It Should Be A3 Size Folded to Make 4 X A4 Pages and Printed in Colour

    Schola Gregoriana of Cambridge Newsletter May 2010 INTRODUCTION Merger with The Gregorian Association The proposed merger of The Gregorian Association with The Schola Gregoriana of Cambridge was voted upon and approved at the recent AGM of The Gregorian Association. A merger with the Schola Gregoriana of Cambridge by means of a transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Association to the Schola were confirmed in order that the Association may be dissolved as a registered charity. The Gregorian Association began in 1870 with the aim of improving the standard of singing in the Church of England through plainchant. They achieved their aim very effectively, substantially influencing the content of the English Hymnal, now New English Hymnal, which with the Manual of Plainsong containing the psalms and canticles set to Sarum chant, is still widely used in our cathedrals and larger parish churches. The Gregorian Association has a long and distinguished history, especially as a publisher of plainsong music for the liturgy. The financial assets that the GA would transfer are substantially more than the outstanding, major liability, which is to pay Peter Wilton to edit a new edition of the Manual of Plainsong in order to include the antiphons proper for daily prayer in accordance with Common Worship, set to traditional (Prayer Book) texts.This is still widely used in cathedrals. He is also editing chant settings of the modern texts as recommended in Daily Prayer. The idea is to publish this revised Manual of Plainsong on the internet so that anyone can copy it free of charge. It is therefore proposed that the name “The Gregorian Association” should be retained at least for publication purposes, although it will be made clear that it is a part of The Schola Gregoriana of Cambridge.
