    HISTORY OF THE FRANCISCAN MOVEMENT Volume 2 FROM THE YEAR 1517 TO THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL On-line course in Franciscan History at Washington Theological Union Washington DC By Noel Muscat OFM Jerusalem 2008 History of the Franciscan Movement. Volume 2: From 1517 to the Second Vatican Council Chapter 10 NEW REFORMS AND NEW DIVISIONS: THE BIRTH OF THE CAPUCHINS AND REFORMS WITHIN THE OBSERVANCE The friars “of the Holy Gospel” The Order of Friars Minor of the Regular Observance, after the union of all the reformed families in 1517, became a powerful religious family dedicated mainly to apostolic missions. A minority of friars, however, continued to insist upon living a simpler Franciscan life in the hermitages. Besides the Amadeiti and Coletani, there were other congregations which preferred eremitical life, like the Clareni and the friars “of the Holy Gospel” or Capuciati. This last religious family was one which the Bulla Ite vos of Leo X (1517) had not managed to integrate within the Order of the Friars Minor of the Regular Observance. They were born, as we have already seen, with the initiative of Juan de la Puebla, who had made an experience of Franciscan life in the Umbrian hermitages of central Italy, and then had returned to Spain, founding a congregation of friars who lived the literal observance of the Rule in the hermitages. Among his followers there was Juan de Guadalupe, who in 1508 obtained the approval of the Province “of the Holy Gospel”.1 The negative reaction of the Spanish Observants, who persecuted the new religious family, compelled the brothers of the Custody of Estremadura to place themselves under the obedience of the Conventuals in 1515, and thus became to be known by the name of “Reformed Conventuals”.2 They wore a short tunic with a pyramidal hood, and hence also the name Capuciati.

  • A Man Named Martin Part 1: the Man Session One Session
    A Man Named Martin Part 1: The Man Session One Comprehensive Reformation Website: Concordia Seminary (St. Louis) has developed a great website on the Reformation. Luther's Formative Years: In this Concordia Theological Monthly article (April 1946), E. G. Schweibert offers a fascinating account of Luther’s formative years, up through his completion of elementary school. The Plague: This article describes the cause, transmission and symptoms of the plague that killed two of Luther’s colleagues at Erfurt. Observant Augustinians: The monastic movement called the Order of Saint Augustine traced its founding to Saint Augustine (d. 430). Before Luther’s time an observant movement started among the Augustinians to focus on increased spirituality. Welcome to a Day in the Life of a Monk: Experience a day in the life of a monk, from his early rising, to his praying, labor, and the overall austerity that marks a man’s monastic decision. Session Two In the Monastery The Flagellants: This fanatical and heretical sect took self-flagellation to an extreme 200 years before Luther’s time; their activities help explain the purposes of self-flagellation among monks like Luther. Of the Awful Judgment: For Awakening Fear in Oneself: Centuries before Luther, St. Anselm wrote about sin and righteousness. His meditations on the depth of our sinfulness help explain why Luther’s monastic period made his feelings of guilt and unworthiness increase. Johann von Staupitz: This is a biographical sketch of Luther’s Augustinian supervisor. Luther’s Trip to Rome Rome and Romans - - Martin Luther: This writing by Pastor Tom Browning certainly carries a Presbyterian bent, but its focus on historical detail helps explain the backdrop and particulars of Luther’s first trip to Rome, which greatly discouraged him.

    Cathedral Counseling Center 2007 Annual Report Key Accomplishments • Cathedral Counseling Center moved its main downtown office in early March into a larger space in the Garland building at 50 E. Washington. The space is more accessible for clients, staff, and volunteers and will enable us to care for up to 500 more people each year. • Despite the disruption in service due to the move, we provided 13,875 therapy sessions, about the same number as in 2006. In addition, the client fee stayed at the 2006 level of $44 per session. • As part of our quality tracking processes, we performed a Client Satisfaction Survey. Results were consistent with previous surveys and showed 80% of clients are Extremely Satisfied and 14% are Very Satisfied with the services they receive. 100% would recommend Cathedral Counseling Center to a friend or family member.

  • A Message from the Rector the Rev. Marisa Thompson
    Pentecost-Ordinary Time 2019 A Message from the Rector The Rev. Marisa Thompson On May 19, 2018, Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, made an international splash at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with his sermon, The Power of Love. His message to the betrothed couple, those present at Windsor Castle, and all who would come to hear or read the sermon, was just as his title indicates: there is great power in love and relying on it as a foundation is who we are called to be as beloved people of God. This message is meant to be more than just a platitude but rather a way of life. Yet while it may seem simple, to truly embrace the way of love means to engage deeply and intentionally in creating transformative relationships and real change. It is not just about inviting different people or strangers to sit at the same table; rather, it is about being an active revolutionary against an unjust and unchristian culture. It is about knowing love as a commitment in addition to a sentiment. There are many good, faithful people who recognize a call to service and know that the world can be a better place, yet we, myself included, hesitate to take on deep change. I believe that people who want to grow in their faith want to do more than just blindly go to church each Sunday. They want to understand their power and help those who have less. Yet to do so means taking a big risk.
