And they were right to suspect that the trend would not stop there. SEEDS Of RENEWAl Numbers of monks continued to fall throughout the 960s and it was only in the early 970s that the trend was finally arrested. In 972 the population rose from ,5 to ,6—not a spectacular increase, but nevertheless the first to be recorded since the turn of the century. Until the end of the century the upturn was maintained in most years and the official total in 2000 stood at just over ,600. The following table shows the numbers for each monastery includ - ing novices and those living in the dependencies: Monastery 972 976 97 90 92 96 9 990 992 2000 lavra 0 55 25 26 29 09 7 5 62 Vatopedi 7 65 60 5 50 55 50 75 2 Iviron 5 6 52 52 5 5 5 6 6 7 Chilandar 57 6 69 52 5 6 60 75 Dionysiou 2 7 5 5 56 59 59 59 50 5 Koutloumousiou 6 6 66 57 0 75 7 7 77 95 Pantokrator 0 7 6 6 62 69 57 66 50 70 Xeropotamou 0 26 22 7 6 7 0 0 Zographou 2 9 6 2 5 20 Dochiariou 2 29 2 2 27 Karakalou 2 6 20 6 6 9 26 7 Philotheou 2 0 6 66 79 2 79 7 70 Simonopetra 2 59 6 60 72 79 7 0 7 7 St Paul’s 95 9 7 7 6 5 9 5 0 Stavronikita 7 5 0 0 0 2 5 Xenophontos 7 26 9 6 7 50 57 6 Grigoriou 22 0 57 6 7 62 72 70 77 6 Esphigmenou 9 5 0 2 56 0 Panteleimonos 22 29 0 0 2 2 5 0 5 Konstamonitou 6 7 6 22 29 20 26 0 27 26 Total ,6 ,206 ,27 ,9 ,275 ,25 ,255 ,290 ,7 ,60 These figures tell us a great deal about the revival and we shall examine 2 When Constantine Cavarnos visited Chilandar in 95, however, he was informed by fr Domitian, ‘We now have a tractor, too. -
St. Theodora of Romania
St. Theodora of Romania Commemorated on August 7 St. Theodora, the greatest of Romania’s holy ascetics, was born in the village of Vanatori, Neamts in the first half of the seventeenth century, and was the daughter of Stephen Joldea and his wife. She was married to a man of Ismail, but had no children. Therefore, she and her husband decided to enter the monastic life. Her husband went to the Skete of Poiana Marului, where he was tonsured with the name Eleutherius. He was also ordained to the holy priesthood. Theodora also received the monastic tonsure in the Skete of Poiana Marului. In just a few years, she advanced in obedience, prayer, and asceticism, acquiring the grace of unceasing prayer of the heart. When her skete was destroyed by the Turks, she fled to the Buzau Mountains with her spiritual mother, Schemanun Paisia. They lived for several years in fasting, vigil and prayer, enduring cold, hunger, and demonic temptations. When her spiritual mother fell asleep in the Lord, St. Theodora was led by God to the mountains of Neamts. After venerating the wonderworking Neamts Icon of the Mother of God, she was told to seek the advice of Hieromonk Barsanuphius of Sihastria Skete. Seeing her desire for the monastic life, and recognizing her great virtues, he gave her Holy Communion and assigned Hieromonk Paul as her Father Confessor and spiritual guide. Father Barsanuphius told Theodora to go and live alone in the wilderness for a year. “If, by the grace of Christ, you are able to endure the difficulties and trials of the wilderness, then remain there until you die. -
Monasticism Session 1 High School Level Ages 13-17 (45-50 Minutes)
Monasticism Session 1 High School Level Ages 13-17 (45-50 minutes) Theme: Who: Monastics Identify monastics Sub-Theme: Monastics are those chosen by God to live a life of prayer, work and community. God calls all of us to serve others. Some of us are called to pray and serve in a special setting. As monasteries are vital and important centers of prayer and service to others, we find people who have chosen to live this life, in closer communion with God. Note: Teachers will need to look over the materials and become familiar with them. Objectives: By the end of this session students should be able to: • Identify a monastic and his or her role in the Church • Define a monk as being a man or woman called to live a Christian life in a special way of prayer, community and service to others • Recognize the attributes of monastics as the foundations of Orthodox Christianity • Write a reaction paragraph about monastics Materials: KWL Chart (attached) • This is a reading strategy used to anticipate about a subject, before reading and/or studying it. Students will use this to set their motivation for reading (also known as anticipatory set). The first 2 columns are labeled KNOW and WANT TO KNOW. These stand for what a student may already know about the subject, and what they would like to know about it. The teacher will have students fill in these first 2 columns about what they know and would like to know about monks and monasteries. Then, as they research and study about them, they may fill in the third column, LEARNED, with what they have learned about monks and monasteries. -
10 Questions Everyone Should Ask About California's Prison Realignment
DOI 10.1515/cjpp-2013-0011 Calif. J. Politics Policy 2013; 5(2): 266–306 Joan Petersilia* and Jessica Greenlick Snyder Looking Past The Hype: 10 Questions Everyone Should Ask About California’s Prison Realignment Abstract: California’s Criminal Justice Realignment Act passed in 2011 shifted vast discretion for managing lower-level offenders from the state to the county, allocated over $2 billion in the first 2 years for local programs, and altered sen- tences for more than 100,000 offenders. Despite the fact that it is the biggest penal experiment in modern history, the state provided no funding to evaluate its overall effect on crime, incarceration, justice agencies, or recidivism. We provide a frame- work for a comprehensive evaluation by raising 10 essential questions: (1) Have prison populations been reduced and care sufficiently improved to bring prison medical care up to a Constitutional standard? (2) What is the impact on victim rights and safety? (3) Will more offenders participate in treatment programs, and will recidivism be reduced? (4) Will there be equitable sentencing and treatment across counties? (5) What is the impact on jail crowding, conditions, and litiga- tion? (6) What is the impact on police, prosecution, defense, and judges? (7) What is the impact on probation and parole? (8) What is the impact on crime rates and community life? (9) How much will realignment cost? Who pays? (10) Have we increased the number of people under criminal justice supervision? Keywords: prison realignment; California corrections; criminal justice; prisons; probation and parole; Jails; victim’s rights; penology. *Corresponding author: Joan Petersilia, PhD, Adelbert H. -
