It might seem normal for people today to doubt that this is/was possible,: however, the people at that time had witnessed even greater miracles themselves, the blind having their sight restored, the lame walking, and many others including today’s Gospel account of demons being expelled.

  • People of Faith—Generations Learning Together
    Great Fast Intergenerational Learning Program Session Focus St. Basil asks us “to recall that fasting is very old and that all the saints observed it as though it were an inheritance from parents, transmitted from father to son. Thus did this treasure come down to us as an unbroken tradition" (On Fasting I). This session on the Great Fast focuses on this tradition that asks us to repent and forgive as we prepare to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. Through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, we will learn to put God first in all that we do. Also, as Church family we will come together often to pray and encourage each other as we follow this “unbroken tradition” on our journey to Pascha. Learning Objectives This session on the Great Fast guides learners of all ages to • identify the Great Fast as the 40-day preparation for Pascha, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (know-what) • recognize that our Church gives us many prayers and services that help us learn to forgive and repent. (know-why) • practice praying, fasting, and almsgiving as a way of putting Christ first in all that we do. (know-how) Background Readings Aslanoff, Catherine. The Incarnate God. (Volume II).

Professeur Jean-François ROUSSEL, membre du jury Professeur Peter GALADZA, examinateur externe iii Abstract In 1993, the church of Humor Monastery and six other churches from northern Moldavia (Romania) were classified as UNESCO Patrimony, due to their unique iconographical and architectural features. Built in the sixteenth-century, Humor Monastery became a rich and vital cultural religious center under the patronage of Prince Petru Rares of Moldavia. This center encouraged ecclesial architectural innovations, as well as an extraordinarily prolific program of frescoes, both internally and externally, expressing creativity beyond the canon of painting of the time. This dissertation focuses on understanding these architectural and iconographical innovations, in the light of the historical context that gave rise to this unique moment in Moldavian history, in the century following the Fall of Constantinople (1453).

  • Complete Teachers Manual
    Teacher Resource Manual GRADE We Respond GOD WITH US 6PUBLICATIONS to God Catechesis is a work of the Church, a sharing in the teaching mission of the Body of Christ. Catechetical material, like iconography or liturgical chant, strives to speak of the Tradition of the Church. The individual's insights, perceptions, and experiences become significant in that they personalize this Tradition and give witness to it in our contemporary world. Accordingly, each text is the work of the Byzantine Catholic Churches in the United States which participate in ECDD, the catechetical arm of the bishops of Eastern Catholic Associates. We Respond to God is the work of Rev Fred Saato, a priest of the Melkite Greek Catholic Eparchy of Newton and Barbara Frazicr, M.S in Ed. with the help of Marie Yaroshak Nester, M.Ed, in English, B.S. in Secondary Education. The work was reviewed and approved by all the hierarchs of the participating eparchies, their directors of religious education, catechetical stalls, and a review board drawn from the clergy and laity of these eparchies. Therefore, it represents the common faith and vision of their communities. This project is being funded in part by the USCCB Committee on Home Missions, the Greek Catholic Union, the Koch Foundation, the John Victor Machuga Foundation, and the Providence Association for the Ukrainian Catholics in the United States.

  • ABSTRACT Anglo-Catholics, and Specifically Those in the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC), a Continuing Or Traditionalist Anglican
    1 ABSTRACT Anglo-Catholics, and specifically those in the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC), a Continuing or Traditionalist Anglican Church, have asserted that the only legitimate doctrine of the Eucharistic Presence is a “realistic” one. A Biblically, historically, and doctrinally sensitive examination, however, of Anglican formularies (the Articles of Religion, the Ordinal, and the Book of Common Prayer–representing the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Anglican Church) demonstrates that they do not teach this doctrine, that the Formularies were written purposely to exclude medieval “realistic” interpretations of the Presence, that the authentic Anglican doctrine of the Presence of Christ in the Lord’s Supper is one of “dynamic symbolism,” and that a “realistic” doctrine of Eucharist is a 19th century innovation and importation into the Anglican Church. The Anglo-Catholic adoption of “Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament” is used as a test case, criticized, and found severely wanting. A positive appreciation and evaluation of the classic Anglican doctrine (following Ridley, Cranmer, Jewel, Hooker, Jeremy Taylor, Cosin, the Nonjurors, and the Wesleys) and its attendant spirituality is given.. The baleful effects of an overly “realistic” view of the Sacrament as adopted by Anglo-Catholics are traced in the pseudo-historical apologetics of the ACC; its infelicitous effects on the ACC’s relations to other Continuing Anglican churches and to other non-Roman Catholic groups are examined. A conscious re-dedication of the ACC to its Reformation heritage and doctrines is necessary, and a new dedication to bettering pan-Anglican and ecumenical relationships is required.
