Easter As an Ecumenical Conundrum
Easter as an Ecumenical Conundrum Michael Straus* Questo sicuro e gaudïoso regno frequente in gente antica e in novella, viso e amore avea tutto ad un segno. O trina luce che ‘n unica stella scintillando a lor vista, sì li appaga! 1 guarda qua giuso a la nostra procella! This article examines the Easter festival from an ecumenical point of view, focusing on the Patristic period and the so-called “Easter Controversies” in the Early Church concerning the date on which the Resurrection should be observed, as a means of assessing both the validity of the resolution of such controversies and the possibly continuing impact of that resolution on the Church today. I will divide this examination into four parts. First, I will consider what guidance we have from the Scriptures as to how, if at all, the Church is to celebrate the Resurrection. Second, I will focus on the Easter Controversies, and in particular the quartodeciman position, in the context of the Council of Nicaea and Nicaea’s resulting decision concerning the need for a uniform date on which to celebrate Easter. Third, I will note the disputes that remained within the Church concerning the observance of Easter after Nicaea, notwithstanding the attempt at reaching full unity on this issue. Finally, I will attempt to gauge whether any failure to reach unity on the question of when to observe the Resurrection has any continuing impact on the Church today. I. The Easter Festival from a New Testament Point of View This is not the place for an extended treatment of worship practices in the New Testament, let alone for how such practices might be informed by Old Testament practices.

Four Periods of RCIA
RCIA Planning Four Periods in RCIA The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is comprised of one rite, which is divided into four periods. Each period designates a section of the pathway along each individual’s journey of faith. At the end of each period, there is a community celebration (ritual), marking the transition from one period to the next. 1. Period of the Pre-Catechumenate / Inquiry • This is a period of informal catechesis/evangelization. Inquirers will be encouraged to share why they decided to inquire – and each will share her/his personal story. Team members will also share their stories, as well as relate Jesus’ story: the Good News of Salvation • This period is also a time for inquirers to become more acquainted with the Roman Catholic Church. To begin, a church tour is a good idea. Another idea is to provide presentations: the RCIA team can introduce participants to the liturgical calendar of the Church, and they can also introduce them to various types of prayer. During this period of acquaintance, there should also be opportunities for social gatherings with members of the parish community. The period of inquiry may last from a few months to several years, if necessary, as the RCIA team members look for signs of the participant’s initial conversion. It is the team’s hope that the inquirer is looking within, searching for connections between her/his own life story and Jesus’ story. It is also hoped that each inquirer will feel a need to hear Jesus’ Good News. This reflection continues throughout the RCIA process, and it is ongoing.

Christian Calendars in Medieval Hebrew Manuscripts
1 CHRISTIAN CALENDARS IN MEDIEVAL HEBREW MANUSCRIPTS SACHA STERN University College London Christian calendars appear in a small but significant number of medieval Hebrew manuscripts. They include the days and months of the Julian year, with Christian festivals, saint days, and other elements of the Christian liturgical year – all in Hebrew translation and/or transliteration (the latter resulting in a form of Judeo-Latin, or more often, Judeo- German and Judeo-French). The manuscripts where these calendars are attested appear to be all from France and Germany, dating from the late 13th – late 15th centuries. The following Christian calendars in Hebrew (in rough chronological order), which happen to be known to me, will be described and discussed in this present paper:1 . Ms London, British Library Add. 11639, fol. 542v (the ‘North French Hebrew Miscellany’, dated 1278) . Ms Oxford, Bodleian Heb. d.11, fols. 2v-3r and 372r-v (mid 14th cent., German) . Ms Cambridge, Add. 3127, fols. 345r – 350v (1399, French) . Ms Berlin, Preussischer Kulturbesitz 1198, fols. 32r – 34v (late 14th cent., French) . Ms Budapest, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Kaufmann A370, fols. 734-50 (early 15th cent., French) . Ms Heidenheim 51, fols. 153a-159a ( c. 1438, German) . Ms Oxford, Bodleian Heb. g.1, fols. 181v-188v (1493, French) . Cairo Genizah join T-S AS 144.322 + T-S AS 144.307 + T-S K2.11 (French) . Ms Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Heb. 1120, fols. 75v-76v (Hebrew Cisiojanus, 16th cent., German).2 2 The phenomenon of Christian calendars in Hebrew has largely been ignored in modern scholarship; yet it points to an important dimension of Jewish-Christian relations, and more specifically Jewish attitudes towards Christianity, in late medieval northern Europe.3 It is also evidence of transfer of religious knowledge between Christians and Jews: for as we shall see, the Hebrew texts closely replicate, in contents as well as in layout and presentation, the Latin liturgical calendars, which in many cases the Hebrew scribes must have used directly as base texts.

Although Holy Communion and other Sacraments are offered only to baptized and chrismated (confirmed) Orthodox Christians in good standing with the Church, all are invited to receive the Antidoron (blessed bread) from the priest at the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy. The Antidoron is not a sacrament, but it is reminiscent of the agape feast that followed worship in the ancient Christian Church. After the Divine Liturgy this morning please join us in the Church Hall for fellowship and refreshments. Please complete a Visitor’s Card before you leave today and drop it in the offering tray, or give it to one of the parishioners after the service, or mail it to the Church Office. 1 The Sunday Epistle Reading Make your vows to the Lord our God and perform them. Verse: God is known in Judah; his name is great in Israel. The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Romans 13:11-14; 14:1-4 Brethren, salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed; the night is far gone, the day is at hand.

Physicalism and Catholicism Instructor: Prof
1 Course Description EG 20801 Physicalism and Catholicism Instructor: Prof. Craig S. Lent Physicalism and Catholicism: Are you a machine? Prominently displayed on the webpage for the outreach series Our Universe Revealed (universerevealed.nd.edu) is this quote from author Chuck Palahniuk: “There is nothing special in the world. Nothing magic. Just physics.” Behind this quote is a worldview that comes completely naturally to many of us, particularly students studying science and engineering. It is the air we breathe. Since the scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries, science has explained more and more comprehensively just how the world works. The unfolding of the history of the physical world, from subatomic particles to the expanding universe, is determined by the physical law, which can be expressed mathematically and precisely links one moment to the next. Chemistry is an application of physics; biology is an application of chemistry; all other fields of science build on this. Armed with an understanding of the physical law, at whatever level is appropriate, we can engineer systems to accomplish our goals and invent solutions to human problems. Of course, “there is nothing special in the world,” is not a scientific statement. It is a worldview statement that encapsulates a comprehensive account in which the ontology of the universe is exhausted by a description of particles and fields, and its history is a causal chain of events completely controlled by the physical law. Our universe is “revealed” to be empty of meaning and godless. Humans are biochemical machines responding to stimuli, storing information, and computing through a deterministic succession of neural states.

Page 2 Sacramental Confession Monday, April 15 - Wednesday, April 17 by appointment In the Anglican tradition, there is no requirement for private confession. However, James 5:16 reads, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for one other so that you may be healed.” If you desire to have your conscience unburdened and to receive spiritual consolation and ease of mind, you are invited to receive reconciliation with God through the aid of a priest. Jonathan Millard, Jonathan Warren, Andrea Millard and Tish Warren will be available by appointment these three days during Holy Week to hear your private confession. Please call or email one of the priests or call the church office in confidence (ext. 219). CELEBRATE EASTER SUNDAY!
