Our offering is combined with other Presbyterian churches to alleviate hunger nearby and throughout the globe.) What is a "Beadle", and what service did he render the Kirk? During the Middle Ages and through the reformation, Bibles were rare among the common people. The Bible of the Kirk (i.e.: the Church) was a treasured possession. The intrinsic value of the Holy Scriptures and the ever-present possibility of theft led to the establishment of a special lay office known as the "beadle". The beadle RECEPTION OF NEW MEMBERS was usually elected by the Kirk Session, and he served for an indefinite period of time. The chief Kathy Ward Grover and Marianne Gore duty of the beadle was to preserve and protect the Kirk's Holy Bible.

  • Sign of the Son of Man.”
    Numismatic Evidence of the Jewish Origins of the Cross T. B. Cartwright December 5, 2014 Introduction Anticipation for the Jewish Messiah’s first prophesied arrival was great and widespread. Both Jewish and Samaritan populations throughout the known world were watching because of the timeframe given in Daniel 9. These verses, simply stated, proclaim that the Messiah’s ministry would begin about 483 years from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem in 445BC. So, beginning about 150 BC, temple scribes began placing the Hebrew tav in the margins of scrolls to indicate those verses related to the “Messiah” or to the “Last Days.” The meaning of the letter tav is “sign,” “symbol,” “promise,” or “covenant.” Shortly after 150 BC, the tav (both + and X forms) began showing up on coins throughout the Diaspora -- ending with a flurry of the use of the symbol at the time of the Messiah’s birth. The Samaritans, in an effort to remain independent of the Jewish community, utilized a different symbol for the anticipation of their Messiah or Tahib. Their choice was the tau-rho monogram, , which pictorially showed a suffering Tahib on a cross. Since the Northern Kingdom was dispersed in 725 BC, there was no central government authority to direct the use of the symbol. So, they depended on the Diaspora and nations where they were located to place the symbol on coins. The use of this symbol began in Armenia in 76 BC and continued through Yeshua’s ministry and on into the early Christian scriptures as a nomina sacra. As a result, the symbols ( +, X and ) were the “original” signs of the Messiah prophesied throughout scriptures.

  • The Celtic Cross
    THE CELTIC CROSS There are many different crosses representing Christianity. One of the most compelling crosses is the Celtic Cross. This cross originated in Ireland, Scotland and some parts of England. And even throughout America in churches, cemeteries and jewelry you will see that the Celtic Cross has made its way over the ocean. The story of its origin touched my heart many years ago and became one reason we chose to lift the Celtic Cross in front of our church. The story is told that the Gaelic peoples who settled in what is now modern Great Britain and Ireland were barbaric and pagan. Throughout the land these pagans decorated the landscape with standing stones, often marked by carved circles. In the religion of this land these circles represented eternity and more or less marked the territory for their heathen gods. Around the 2nd and 3rd Century the Celts began to convert to Christianity in a sudden and mighty wave. The new converts began to ask, “What shall we do to the stones that bear the mark of our former heathen religion? Shall we take to removing these circles as best we can?” The missionaries suggested to the converts, “No, take the Cross which represents that Christ has paid for our sins and impress or carve the cross over the top of those circles. For in doing so you will be saying that Christ alone conquers paganism and its wicked superstitions and Christ alone gives eternal life.” An ancient prayer among the early Irish Christians seems to use this concept of the cross over the circle in this prayer, “Circle us, Lord, keep love within; keep hatred out.

Without guidance, this is usually impossible. Therefore, lowe my biggest thanks to Peter and Laura Yorke of Ra Horakhty Temple, who provided my first exposure to self-initiation techniques in the Golden Dawn. Their years of expe­ rience with the Golden Dawn material yielded a structure of carefully selected ex­ ercises, which their students still use today to bring about a gradual transformation. WIthout such well-prescribed use of the Golden Dawn's techniques, it would have been difficult to make progress in its grade system. The basic structure of the course in this book is built on a foundation of the Golden Dawn's elemental grade system as my teachers passed it on. In particular, it develops further their choice to use the color correspondences of the Four Worlds, a piece of the original Golden Dawn system that very few occultists have recognized as an ini­ tiatory tool.

  • Celtic Cross
    Celtic Cross MEMORY VERSE: ‘…clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. Colossians 3:12-16 (NRSV) STUDY PLAN: To know something of early Christianity in the British Isles, the roots of the Episcopal and Anglican churches in the USA. To earn the Eucharist badge, you will need to do the following: Step 1: Our Anglican Ancestry My initials ______________ The Celtic Cross reminds us of our Anglican heritage passed down from the areas of Scotland, Ireland and Wales since at least the Second Century. Legend tells that Joseph of Arimathea (the man who asked Pilate for Jesus’ body and buried Him in his own tomb) was a tin merchant who made his way to the Island of Britain with the Holy Grail (the chalice used by Jesus himself at the Last Supper) and built the first church in Britain at Glastonbury. Although only a legend, the story speaks to the ancient roots of Christianity in the British Isles and the long-held Christian faith of the people of the area.

  • Faith Excellence Community Compassion
    THE VALUES OF Faith Excellence Community Compassion EMBEDDED INTO OUR COLLEGE CREST The College Crest It was Brother Mullen who gave the College its present coat-of-arms. The original Signum Fidei design can be seen in stone above the south entrance to the 1897 wing of the Brothers House and in the door leading from the house to the school yard. In 1921 the Order of Christian Brothers adopted another design, which was widely used by the brothers’ schools throughout Australia with many local variations, some of which were quite contrary to the rules of heraldry. Brother Mullen thought that the College should have a coat-of-arms that was characteristic and heraldically sound. He went into the question carefully and in 1950 produced the present design. The motto Ante Faciem Domini, “Before the Face of the Lord”, is taken from Luke 1:9, the Canticle of Zachary. It reminds students of their duty to live as Christians. The Dolphin is an early Christian symbol for Christ; it also stood for the ardent desire of Christians to seek Christ and his knowledge. It can also represent the Brother aspiring after true wisdom which is to be found in Christ. The Crowns come from the coat-of-arms of Archbishop Reynolds, the founder of the College. Why the colour Purple There are few schools in Australia that use the colour purple. Purple has traditionally been the colour of royalty because to dye garments that colour in antiquity required the use of the small gland in a sea snail that lived in the waters off Phoenicia.

  • Hate Symbols Database
    HATE ON DISPLAY™ HATE SYMBOLS DATABASE 1 HATE ON DISPLAY This database provides an overview of many of the symbols most frequently used by a variety of white supremacist groups and movements, as well as some other types of hate groups. You can find the full listings at adl.org/hate-symbols INTRODUCTION TO THE HATE ON DISPLAY HATE SYMBOLS DATABASE ADL is a leading anti-hate organization that was founded in 1913 in response to an escalating climate of anti-Semitism and bigotry. Today, ADL is the first call when acts of anti-Semitism occur and continues to fight all forms of hate. A global leader in exposing extremism, delivering anti-bias education and fighting hate online, ADL’s ultimate goal is a world in which no group or individual suffers from bias, discrimination or hate. ADL’s Center on Extremism debuted its Hate on Display hate symbols database in 2000, establishing the database as the first and foremost resource on the internet for symbols, codes, and memes used by white supremacists and other types of haters. Over the past two decades, Hate on Display has regularly been updated with new symbols and images as they have come into common use by extremists, as well as new functions to make it more useful and convenient for users. Although the database contains many examples of online usage and shared graphics, another feature that makes it unique is its emphasis on real world examples of hate symbols—showing them as extremists actually use them: on signs and clothing, graffiti and jewelry, and even on their own bodies as tattoos and brands.

This work has been supported by Facebook. 2 Table of Contents Introduction………………………..…...…..4 Images and Symbols………………………..8 Language: Codes, Acronyms and Key Phrases………………….………………….36 Glossary of Far-Right Terminology………62 3 Introduction 4 Introduction 1 Extremist online discourse valorises, exonerates and so at minimum implicitly acts to incite violence against opponents and those deemed (genetically, ethnically, religiously, sexually, politically or nationally) ‘inferior’. Given that such goals are socially unacceptable, and often illegal, extremist speech communities need to camouflage their politics by either shifting the context in which they take place (e.g. private meetings, encrypted communications) or by coding and cloaking their terminology and symbols. Codes, euphemisms and veiled signs are therefore a defining feature of online extremist discourse.1 2 The use of such codes serves a range of interpersonal, rhetorical and political functions. First, codes help to ensure that communication remains within accepted (typically legal) boundaries. These codes shift over time, partly because what is socially and/or legally proscribed changes. Second, since codes essentially offer a new way to convey political extremism, they signal the continued advocacy of a political ideology for those able to interpret the code. Just as a party logo might change but will continue to represent the party in question, so too a new word, image or meme can communicate an established ideological commitment.
