Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549
“JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England. -

Divine Compassion in the Short Stories of Anton Chekhov
Ecclesial Existence, Divine Compassion And Human Healing In The Short Stories of Anton Chekhov Presented at Divine Compassion and Women of the Church: Theological Perspectives conference at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology on June 21, 2014 I. Introduction For some of you, the title of this presentation may seem more than a bit off topic. Nevertheless, I have chosen to share with you three short stories by Anton Chekhov for two reasons. First, many of the stories of Chekhov reveal divine compassion in the unfolding of the delicate, complex and intimate relationships of persons. Second, given the stories I will be sharing, virtually every character within every relationship expresses its unique mode of existence – to borrow a phrase many will readily associate with Saint Maximus The Confessor (τρόπος ύπάρξεως) - that explicitly or implicitly draws attention to the Church’s own mode of existence. With care and sensitivity Chekhov unveils aspects of the lives of men, women and the Church that make his stories relevant to the topic of divine compassion and the healing of the person. II. Chekhov’s Characters And The Orthodox Church Through Chekhov’s characters the reader encounters a writer who neither rejects the Scriptures nor turns from the teachings of the Orthodox Church. His stories often show more than a casual or superficial interest in the liturgical calendar through which the Church and its ethos impacts the lives and relationships of the characters. The feasts of the Incarnation and Resurrection together with the cycles of fasting and feasting as well as the quoting and paraphrasing of Scripture and hagiographies provide the context in which his characters uniquely reveal their relationships to God, neighbor and themselves. -

THE MEDIAEVAL PEASANT AND HIS WAYS R. w. COLLINS T HE mediaeval peasant, illiterate and ignorant, has left no writings that might have revealed to us bis innermost hopes, thoughts, and feelings. Moreover, he was despised by the rank and file of the upper classes, who seldom thought it worth while to mention him. \i'~ Nevertheless, it is possible by means of court and visitation records, sermon references, epics such as Piers the Plowman, Meier Helmbrecht and Der Arme Heinrich, the Fabliaux, and occasional writings to obtain here and there an intimate glimpse into the inner life of the most numerous class in mediaeval society, the tillers of the soil. But here, as so often in our modern journals, it is the abnormal and the errant who are depicted, the virtuous and the more normal who are unhonored and unsung. Records of courts and of ecclesiastical visitations necessarily depict the darker side of the village society in which most mediaeval peasants found their sphere. They reveal that theft, quarrelsomeness, drunkenness and immorality constituted the more seamy side of peasant life. There was much thievery in l;tl'~'.. ' every village, and the mediaeval peasant was notorious for his ~. lack of respect for the property and rights of others. The ' Manner of Holding Courts, an English document of the fourteenth ' century, enjoins justices to enquire, "Whether there be among I.1tf you any petty thieves, as of geese, ducks and poultry"; "whether "' there be among you any great thieves, as of horses, oxen, pigs :.I and sheep." 1 'l'he records of the court of the Bishop of Ely at ., Littleport, dating from the late thirteenth and early fourteenth century, also clearly reveal this lack of respect on the part of ~ the peasants for the goods of their neighbours.
