Wedding Policy for Trinity Lutheran Church Wautoma, WI • The ushers should inform those who are carrying cameras that Wedding Policy there are to be no flash photographs taken during the service; for opportunity for pictures will be given following the service. Trinity Lutheran Church • Ushers will usher at the recessional as laid out above. Wautoma, WI Music • Since the Christian Wedding Service is a service of worship, the music used throughout the wedding should direct the congrega- tion’s thoughts to the Triune God. This quite naturally elimi- nates some songs for consideration, including the traditional “Wedding March.” The “Bridal March” or “Bridal Chorus” as it is sometimes called comes from the opera Lohengrin, written by Richard Wagner. This song was never intended to be used as part of a church worship service, and has as its entire focus the bridal chamber and the physical consummation of the marriage. While the church certainly acknowledges the physical consum- mation of a marriage as a God given gift, it is not the God given focus of a worship service. Rather than calling attention to the physical side of marriage, our music should focus on the Spir- itual side. • While sentimental or romantic songs from the time of your courtship may be very special or meaningful to you as a couple, it is more appropriate to include them at your reception than at the wedding service. • The pastor or the organist will be happy to help you in selecting acceptable religious music for your wedding. The entire marriage rite is designed to lead you and those in attendance to give all glory to God and to seek His blessing. All preparations and actions should work toward that end Marriage and Weddings The Rehearsal God Himself instituted marriage at creation saying, “It is not • The rehearsal is to begin promptly at the designated time and good for the man to be alone.

KNEZ SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY • NUMBER 39 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

When Two Become One: Sacramental Woes And Theological Anxiety In Medieval Representations Of Marriage Abstract This dissertation traces the long, winding, and problematic road along which marriage became a sacrament of the Church. In so doing, it identifies several key problems with marriage’s ability to fulfill the sacramental criteria laid out in Peter Lombard’s Sentences: that a sacrament must signify a specific form of divine grace, and that it must directly bring about the grace that it signifies. While, on the basis of Ephesians 5, theologians had no problem identifying the symbolic power of marriage with the spiritual union of Christ and the Church, they never fully succeeded in locating a form of effective grace, placing immense stress upon marriage’s status as a signifier. As a result, theologians and canonists found themselves unable to deal with several social aspects of marriage that threatened this symbolic capacity, namely concubinage and the remarriage of widows and widowers.

Garcia Moreno GOTHIC SURVIVALS IN THE VISIGOTHIC KINGDOMS OF TOULOUSE AND TOLEDO A classic problem during the times of the great invasions and subsequent formation of the so-called Romano-Germanic Kingdoms of the fifth to seventh centuries are the mechanisms for and means of accommodation between the two societies, invaders and invaded. In the ancient Mediterranean Provinces of the Roman Empire the accommodation problem particularly affected both elite leading groups, due to the large difference in their respective sizes. In this respect it is enough to remember the contrast between the maximum possible number of Visigothic warriors of between 15000 and 20000*, when they established themselves in Aquitania in 418 AD, and the strong »Gothic« stamp in the Kingdoms of Toulouse and Toledo2. Our growing understanding of the mechanisms for ethnogenesis and sociopolitical structuring among the populär Germanic groups that protagonised the great inva­ sions began to solve these apparent contradictions. This improved knowledge has essentially3 been due to the contribution of the so-called neue Lehre in the German investigators’ studies of »Germanic Antiquities« after the forties. Doubtlessly the use of these new analytic tools in the last two decades has much advanced our knowledge of the origins and formation of the Visigothic Kingdoms of Toulouse and Toledo.
