Theosophy. I. Eklund, Dara. II. Title. BP525. J77 2008 299′. 934 — dc22 2008042215 This PDF eBook produced at Theosophical University Press Pasadena, California Foreword This Cumulative Index to Volumes I-III of Echoes of the Orient has been expanded and revised for the new edition. For providing the addi- tional entries and co-editing of the original indices I owe my husband, Nicholas Weeks, much gratitude. Our main entries are arranged alphabetically, ignoring personal titles such as Count or Saint. Individual books of the Bible are found under their titles, but entries about the Old and New Testaments are included under the general heading, Bible. Subentries are also alphabetized, ignoring initial articles, preposi- tions, and conjunctions, as well as people’s initials and titles before surnames such as Dr., Rev., Mr., and Mrs. Numerals and initials such as 7th, E.S., T.S., and S.D. are treated as if spelled out. We again thank David and Nancy Reigle for the correction of Sanskrit terms, using a modified International Transliteration System. Certain terms however, which would not appear hyphenated in San- skrit today, are kept as Judge used them, for the purpose of clarity in distinguishing compound terms as adopted in Theosophical literature. Finally, we are indebted to the press staff at the T.S. Pasadena men- tioned in each prior volume of the Echoes series for their continued diligence and support. Without their perseverance this series could not have been expedited so quickly.

  • A Brief History of Coptic Personal Status Law
    A Brief History of Coptic Personal Status Law Ryan Rowberry John Khalil* INTRODUCTION With the U.S.-led "War on Terror" and the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, American legal scholars have understandably focused increased attention on the various schools and applications of Islamic law in Middle Eastern countries. 1 This focus on Shari'a law, however, has tended to elide the complexity of traditional legal pluralism in many Islamic nations. Numerous Christian communities across the Middle East (e.g., Syrian, Armenian, Coptic, Nestorian, Maronite), for example, adhere to personal status laws that are not based on Islamic legal principles. Christian minority groups form the largest non-Muslim • Ryan Rowberry and John Khalil graduated from Harvard Law School in 2008. Ryan is currently a natural resources associate at Hogan Lovells US LLP in Washington D.C., and John Khalil is a litigation associate at Lowey, Dannenberg, Cowey & Hart P.C. in New York City. The authors would like to thank the numerous lay and clerical Copts that were interviewed for their time, honesty, and unstinting hospitality. The authors also owe an immense debt of gratitude to Professor Janet Halley of Harvard Law School for her unfailing encouragement of this project. Furthermore, Professor Amr Shalakany of the American University in Cairo and Jacqueline Saad were invaluable in introducing the authors to the latest Coptic research. A very special thanks is also due to the Islamic Legal Studies Program at Harvard Law School for the research grant that enabled the authors to conduct research in Egypt. This Article is undoubtedly richer as a result of such generosity.

  • Appendix B: Baptismal Churches Eastern Rite Churches in Communion with Rome Eastern Rite Churches Not in Communion with Rome
    Appendix B: Baptismal Churches Eastern Rite Churches in Communion with Rome The Churches on this list are Catholic Churches. The Roman Catholic Church recognizes fully the sacraments that have already been received. There can be no doubt cast upon the validity of Baptism and Confirmation conferred in the Eastern Churches. It is sufficient to establish the fact that Baptism was administered. Valid Confirmation (chrismation) is always administered at the same time as Baptism. In some situations, the child has also received First Communion at the time of Baptism. Children who have celebrated the full initiation rite in the Eastern Rite Church may require further catechesis concerning the sacrament of the Eucharist. If the child is attending a Roman Catholic school the ongoing Religious Education program will provide this catechesis. If it is deemed appropriate the family may be encouraged to complete a family resource book at home and to continue the practice of bringing their child to the table of the Lord. Adults who have celebrated the full initiation rite in the Eastern Rite Church are to be catechized as needed. No rite is required. The Eastern Churches in Communion with Rome, as listed in the Archdiocese of Toronto’s Directory include: Alexandrian Rite Byzantine Rite Coptic Catholic Church Melkite Catholic Church Ethiopian Catholic Church Byzantine Slovak Catholic Church Byzantine Ukrainian Catholic Church Antiochene Rite (West Syrian) Albanian Catholic Church Malankara (Malankarese) Catholic Church Byelorussian Catholic Church Maronite

  • Background on Catholic Churches in the Middle East September 2017
    Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development Office of International Justice and Peace Background on Catholic Churches in the Middle East September 2017 Seven Catholic Churches or "Rites," each bearing a great and ancient history with unique liturgical traditions and culture, comprise the Catholic Church in the Middle East. As is the case with other Christians, rather than living in segregated communities, these Catholic Churches are indigenous and have been integrated into their societies for centuries. They form part of ancient Christian communities that have long contributed vibrantly to their societies in the fields of science, philosophy, education, and medicine. Each of these Catholic Churches is in full communion with Rome, but six Eastern Rite Churches are sui iuris, or self-governing, and have their own Patriarchs. All these Churches are immersed in Arabic culture and speak Arabic, although the Syriac Catholic liturgy is also conducted in Aramaic. The Maronite Catholic Church is the largest of the Eastern Catholic Churches in the Middle East at around 1.7 million members. It has a strong presence in Lebanon, with smaller communities in Syria, Jordan, Cyprus, and the Holy Land. However, slightly over half its members have emigrated from the Middle East to countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Australia, Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. The Maronite Church traces back to a community formed around St. Maron, a 4th century monk who led an ascetic life. The Maronites are proud that their church never lacked communion with the Holy See since its formation in the 4th century.
