  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • St. Augustine and the Doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ Stanislaus J
    ST. AUGUSTINE AND THE DOCTRINE OF THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST STANISLAUS J. GRABOWSKI, S.T.D., S.T.M. Catholic University of America N THE present article a study will be made of Saint Augustine's doc­ I trine of the Mystical Body of Christ. This subject is, as it will be later pointed out, timely and fruitful. It is of unutterable importance for the proper and full conception of the Church. This study may be conveniently divided into four parts: (I) A fuller consideration of the doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ, as it is found in the works of the great Bishop of Hippo; (II) a brief study of that same doctrine, as it is found in the sources which the Saint utilized; (III) a scrutiny of the place that this doctrine holds in the whole system of his religious thought and of some of its peculiarities; (IV) some consideration of the influence that Saint Augustine exercised on the development of this particular doctrine in theologians and doctrinal systems. THE DOCTRINE St. Augustine gives utterance in many passages, as the occasion de­ mands, to words, expressions, and sentences from which we are able to infer that the Church of his time was a Church of sacramental rites and a hierarchical order. Further, writing especially against Donatism, he is led Xo portray the Church concretely in its historical, geographical, visible form, characterized by manifest traits through which she may be recognized and discerned from false chuiches. The aspect, however, of the concept of the Church which he cherished most fondly and which he never seems tired of teaching, repeating, emphasizing, and expound­ ing to his listeners is the Church considered as the Body of Christ.1 1 On St.

  • Augustine and the Art of Ruling in the Carolingian Imperial Period
    Augustine and the Art of Ruling in the Carolingian Imperial Period This volume is an investigation of how Augustine was received in the Carolingian period, and the elements of his thought which had an impact on Carolingian ideas of ‘state’, rulership and ethics. It focuses on Alcuin of York and Hincmar of Rheims, authors and political advisers to Charlemagne and to Charles the Bald, respectively. It examines how they used Augustinian political thought and ethics, as manifested in the De civitate Dei, to give more weight to their advice. A comparative approach sheds light on the differences between Charlemagne’s reign and that of his grandson. It scrutinizes Alcuin’s and Hincmar’s discussions of empire, rulership and the moral conduct of political agents during which both drew on the De civitate Dei, although each came away with a different understanding. By means of a philological–historical approach, the book offers a deeper reading and treats the Latin texts as political discourses defined by content and language. Sophia Moesch is currently an SNSF-funded postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oxford, working on a project entitled ‘Developing Principles of Good Govern- ance: Latin and Greek Political Advice during the Carolingian and Macedonian Reforms’. She completed her PhD in History at King’s College London.

  • The Reformed Faith
    THE REFORMED FAITH To describe the Reformed Faith in the limits of an article is no easy task. Any adequate account of it would require an expo- sition of the historical theological situation out of which it arose, and the theological views which it opposed. This in itself would be a task requiring too much space for an article in a theological Review. The mysticism which misunderstood the nature of revelation and minimised or destroyed the authority of the Word of God as the principium of theological knowledge ; the sacramentarianism and sacerdotalism of the Church of Rome, which denied the immediacy of the relation of the sinner to God in Salvation; the obscuration of the Augustinian conception of sovereign grace —all these theological movements would demand a somewhat lengthy consideration in order to reach an adequate understanding of the essential nature of the Reformed Faith. Obviously we must content ourselves with the mention of these theological errors which the Reformers opposed, and which met their most radical opposition in the Reformed Reformation. But if our task is not easy, it is, nevertheless timely and important. In this connection we would call attention to some trenchant words of Karl Barth1 in his Address, “ Reformed Doctrine, its Nature and Task.” He quotes from an account of the proceedings of a meeting of the eastern section of the Reformed World-Alliance held in Zurich in 1923. The words he quotes, he says, are from the pen of one of the leaders of that meeting. They are as follows : “ It could not escape an atten- tive observer, what a small role unfruitful theological discussions played in these days (i.e., of the meeting).

SL 29 (1999) 145-58 Did Ambrose's Sister Become a Virgin on December 25 or January 67 The Earliest Western Evidence for Christmas and Epiphany outside Rome by Martin F. Connell* The advent of both Christmas and Epiphany into Latin Christianity hap­ pened over a rather short period of time; except for the church of Rome, it was less than a few decades from absence to the virtual omnipresence of both feasts. Yet the evidence available for putting together the chronology of the introduction and reception of the two is rather spotty, with sporadic clues emerging in apparent isolation from one another. In studies of the evidence, clues are usually drawn from places and literary genres as diverse as a secular history of an emperor's visit to Paris; I a North African sermont- Spanish conciliar decrees; and sermons, a letter on virginity, and a heresiology, all coming from northern Italy.

  • Immaculate Conception Parish Bulletin the Epiphany of the Lord January 3, 2021 2
    Immaculate Conception Parish Bulletin The Epiphany of the Lord www.icelmhurst.org January 3, 2021 2 The blessing of the home on the Epiphany is an invitation to Jesus to be a daily guest in our lives and to bless all who come in and out of our home. There will be cards available to take home this weekend which include the following prayer to pray and chalk. The tradition is to write the numbers of the new year over your front door with the chalk. Pictured above are the numbers for 2021. C+M+B are the cross and initials of the Magi: Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar. They also abbreviate the Latin phrase Christus Mansionem Benedicat (Christ bless this house). Bless, O Lord God almighty, this home, that in it there may be health, purity, the strength of victory, humility, goodness and mercy, the fulfillment of Thy law, the thanksgiving to God the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. And may this blessing remain upon this home and upon all who dwell herein. Through Christ our Lord. We encourage you to participate in this activity. THE PROCLAMATION OF EPIPHANY Dear brothers and sisters, The glory of the Lord has shone upon us, and shall ever be manifest among us, until the day of His return. Through the rhythms of times and seasons let us celebrate the mysteries of salvation. Let us recall the year’s culmination, the Easter Triduum of the Lord: His last supper, His crucifixion, His burial, and His rising celebrated between the evening of the First of April and the evening of the Forth of April.
