The following chapters appeared in the pages of " The Scottish Chronicle " in 1915 and 1916, and it is owing to the courtesy of the Proprietor and Editor that they are now republished in book form. Their original publication in the pages of a Church newspaper will explain something of the lines on which the book is fashioned. The articles were written to explain and to describe the origin and de\elopment of the Armorial Bearings of the ancient Dioceses of Scotland. These Coats of arms are, and have been more or less con- tinuously, used by the Scottish Episcopal Church since they came into use in the middle of the 17th century, though whether the disestablished Church has a right to their use or not is a vexed question. Fox-Davies holds that the Church of Ireland and the Episcopal Chuich in Scotland lost their diocesan Coats of Arms on disestablishment, and that the Welsh Church will suffer the same loss when the Disestablishment Act comes into operation ( Public Arms).

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See Coat of Arms of His Holiness Benedict XVI Armour bearings have been in common use by soldiers and the nobility since the Middle Ages. This has given rise to a very specific heraldic language to regulate and describe civic heraldry. At the same time, an ecclesiastical heraldry for clergy also developed. This heraldic usage follows exactly the same rules as civic heraldry with regard to the composition and definition of the shield, but surrounds it with religious or Church symbols and emblems according to one's ecclesiastical rank in Holy Orders, jurisdiction and dignity. There is an at least 800-year-old tradition for Popes to have their own personal coat of arms, in addition to the symbols proper to the Apostolic See. Particularly during the Renaissance and the centuries that followed, it was customary to mark with the arms of the reigning Supreme Pontiff all his principal works. Indeed, Papal coats of arms appear on buildings and in various publications, 2 decrees and documents. Popes often used their family shield or composed their own with symbols indicating their ideal of life or referring to past events or experiences, or even elements connected with specific Pontifical programmes. At times, they even added a variant to a shield that they had adopted on becoming a Bishop. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, elected Pope and taking the name Benedict XVI, has chosen a coat of arms rich in symbolism and meaning that transmits to history his personality and Pontificate. A coat of arms consists of a shield bearing several important symbols and surrounded by elements that indicate the person's dignity, rank, title, jurisdiction and more.

  • HISTORY of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE for GIRL SCOUTS and CAMP FIRE by Virginia Reed
    Revised 3/11/2019 HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE FOR GIRL SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE By Virginia Reed The present National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire dates back to the early days of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Although it has functioned in various capacities and under several different names, this committee's purpose has remained the same: to minister to the Catholic girls in Girl Scouts (at first) and Camp Fire (since 1973). Beginnings The relationship between Girl Scouting and Catholic youth ministry is the result of the foresight of Juliette Gordon Low. Soon after founding the Girl Scout movement in 1912, Low traveled to Baltimore to meet James Cardinal Gibbons and consult with him about her project. Five years later, Joseph Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York appointed a representative to the Girl Scout National Board of Directors. The cardinal wanted to determine whether the Girl Scout program, which was so fine in theory, was equally sound in practice. Satisfied on this point, His Eminence publicly declared the program suitable for Catholic girls. In due course, the four U.S. Cardinals and the U.S. Catholic hierarchy followed suit. In the early 1920's, Girl Scout troops were formed in parochial schools and Catholic women eagerly became leaders in the program. When CYO was established in the early 1930's, Girl Scouting became its ally as a separate cooperative enterprise. In 1936, sociologist Father Edward Roberts Moore of Catholic charities, Archdiocese of New York, studied and approved the Girl Scout program because it was fitting for girls to beome "participating citizens in a modern, social democracy." This support further enhanced the relationship between the Catholic church and Girl Scouting.

One man, just turned fifty, pedals down a lonely backroad. Behind him lie miles of highway, winding through valleys, crossing mountain barriers, leading through deserts and through rich farmland. Ahead lies a still long road -- and daily encounters with the heartbeat of America, its people, and its neighborhoods.In the spirit of Peter Jenkins' Walk Across America, author and radio co- host Mike Trout sets forth on a journey into the American Heartland. The longtime announcer for Dr. James Dobson's daily radio program begins his travels in Santa Monica, California. Destination: the Atlantic Ocean, a continent away.The Heart of America chronicles his pilgrimage. Mike explores small towns and big cities, visiting with farmers, lawyers, factory workers, and teachers -- rich, poor, rural, urban, and everything in between. In one-on-one encounters, he asks the common man and woman: What do we believe? What is good about America? What works? What doesn't work? What do we really value? And in theprocess he finds the pulse of America, the heartbeat of a vast and sprawling country that is home to hundreds of different cultures and sub-cultures -- from the Kansas wheat farmer to the Kentucky mountain man, from a rural Southern family to a single person living in the urban landscape of Southern California.Because of his association with Focus on the Family, a great deal of attention is given to family issues.

  • The Ecclesiastical Coat of Arms Of
    The Ecclesiastical Coat of Arms of Roderick O. Ford, D.Div, D.Litt., J.D. © The Ecclesiastical Coat of Arms of Roderick O. Ford, Esq. , adopted in 2013, is a symbol of his Christian philosophy of law, theology, and government, as well as his conception of the role of Christian lawyers within the Anglo-American common-law tradition. This Coat of Arms was jointly designed in 2013 by graphic artists Patricia Stephens (Tampa, Florida), Gerald Ivey (Atlanta, Georgia), and a heraldry design company in the United Kingdom. It was extracted from Medieval Church tradition, particularly the Roman, English, and Orthodox Church traditions. It thus reflects the traditional orthodox viewpoint that the Truth of Christ (i.e., the “Law of Reason,”1 “Law of Faith,” “Law of Love,” and “Equity”) is the foundation of Secular Jurisprudence. The Top of the Coat of Arms represents the Profession of Law and the Sovereignty of Justice as the Foundation for the Secular Government and Jurisprudence. It is placed on Top, because its Foundations are deeply rooted in the Church and the Sacred Scriptures, which are reflected in the Middle and Bottom portions of the Coat of Arms. The Middle of the Coat of Arms represents the Office of the Ordained Clergy in general. The Ecclesiastical Hat is the Traditional Reflection of the Roman or Latin galero, which was originally the Pilgrim’s hat, like a sombrero. The Book, that is beneath the Ecclesiastical Hat, reflects the Sacred Scriptures; this Book is also a symbol for Christian Theology as the Queen of all the Sciences, the Christian University, and Christian Scholarship, Wisdom, and Virtue.
