  • Christian Monastic Communities Living in Harmony with the Environment: an Overview of Positive Trends and Best Practices 1
    Christian monastic communities living in harmony with the environment: an overview of positive trends and best practices 1 Abstract This paper explores the relationship between Christian monastic communities and nature and the natural environment, a new field for this journal. After reviewing their historical origins and evolution, and discussing their key doctrinal principles regarding the environment, the paper provides an overview of the best practices developed by these communities of various sizes that live in natural surroundings, and reviews promising new trends. These monastic communities are the oldest self-organised communities in the Old World with a continuous history of land and environmental management, and have generally had a positive impact on nature and landscape conservation. Their experience in adapting to and overcoming environmental and economic crises is highly relevant in modern-day society as a whole and for environmental managers and policy makers in particular. This paper also argues that the efforts made by a number of monastic communities, based on the principles of their spiritual traditions, to become more environmentally coherent should be encouraged and publicized to stimulate more monastic communities to follow their example and thus to recapture the environmental and spiritual coherence of their ancestors. The paper concludes that the best practices in nature conservation developed by Christian 1 This paper is a substantial development, both in content and scope, of a previous paper written by one of us (JM) for the Proceedings of the Third workshop of The Delos Initiative, which took place in Lapland, Finland, in 2010. A certain number of the experiences discussed here comes from case studies prepared during the last nine years in the context of The Delos Initiative, jointly co-ordinated by two of us (TP, JM), within the IUCN World Commission of Protected Areas.

It echoes the oft-repeated exhortation of Our Lord, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.” Our model in this regard in the Gospel is Mary, who takes into her heart all the events of the birth and infancy of Jesus and keeps them there. She who listens is not a passive spectator. By her initial reception of the word brought by the angel Gabriel she conceives the Word in her heart and in her womb. Then, in her visitation to Elizabeth, she completes Old Testament prophecy with her song, the Magnificat, and at the same time anticipates the proclamation of the Gospel. In the Magnificat, she proclaims the pulling down from their thrones of the mighty, and the lifting up the lowly, the ending of the present order of the world and the beginning of a new world based on divine justice, that will be brought about by the Messiah. In St Luke’s account of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, which concludes his narrative of the birth, and traditionally marks a final liturgical farewell to Christmas in the Feast of the Presentation on 2nd February, Simeon takes up the Magnificat’s theme of the rise of the humble and the fall of the mighty, when he says to Mary, “This child is set for the rise and the fall of many in Israel”, and prophesies that the sword that will separate those who rise and those who fall will pass through the heart of Mary.

  • 2010-2011 Seminary Catalog (Pdf)
    2010–2011 Catalog Welcome to Bethel Seminary! Bethel Seminary, part of Bethel University, has been advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ since 1871. Today, we are one of the largest evangelical institutions in the world offering post-baccalaureate study. We serve a diverse student population from multiple campuses across the United States and electronically through a variety of online programs. The university student body consists of 6,300 men and women from more than 50 denominations, 48 states, and 29 countries. But numbers don’t tell our story. As we seek to educate and energize men and women for excellence in leadership, scholarship, and service, we have the honor of preparing whole and holy persons for ministry. Bethel graduates reach out to the community in culturally effective ways, strengthened by an exceptional education led by a world class faculty. Bethel Seminary is a Spirit-empowered, biblically grounded ministry of the churches of Converge Worldwide (formerly the Baptist General Conference), offered as a resource to all who seek to understand and experience the gospel of Christ. Men and women of all denominations are welcome to experience the spirit and passion of Bethel Seminary as they become whole and holy. WELCOME TO BETHEL SEMINARY 1 Welcome Letter from President 1 Dear Prospective Seminarian: Bill Hybels, in his book Holy Discontent, asks the question, “What can’t you stand?” He is asking, “What bugs you in such a way that you just can’t let go of it?” What galls me to that point is mediocre education that fails to stir the soul, that fails to transform people.
