SUDHAKAR… The rejected cornerstone: There was a legend, well-known in New Testament times, that in the building of God’s Temple by Solomon, most of the stones were of the same size and shape. One stone arrived, however, that was different from the others. The builders took one look at it and said, “This will not do,” and sent it rolling down into the valley of Kedron below. The years passed and the great Temple was nearing completion, and the builders sent a message to the stonecutters to send the chief cornerstone that the structure might be complete. The cutters replied that they had sent the stone years before. Then someone remembered the stone that was so different from all the rest that it somehow did not seem to belong. They realized that they had thrown away the cornerstone. They hurried into the valley to retrieve it. Finally, from under vines and debris, they recovered it and with great effort rolled it up the hill and put it in place so that the great Temple would be complete. The stone that had been rejected had become the chief cornerstone. Jesus, who had been rejected now reigns at the right hand of the Father. The story emphasizes the failure of the tenants, the Chosen People of God and their leaders, to produce fruits of righteousness, justice and mercy. We are expected to show our gratitude to God by bearing fruits of the kingdom, fruits of the Holy Spirit, in our lives, giving Him all the Glory.

  • How to Write History: Thucydides and Herodotus in the Ancient Rhetorical Tradition
    How to write history: Thucydides and Herodotus in the ancient rhetorical tradition A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Scott Kennedy, B.A., B.S. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Anthony Kaldellis, Adviser Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Will Batstone Copyright by Scott Kennedy 2018 Abstract Modern students of Thucydides and Herodotus may find it odd to think of them as rhetoricians. Yet in the ancient world, both historians (and especially Thucydides) played an important role in rhetorical schools. They were among the favorite authors of ancient teachers of rhetoric and served as foundational pillars of the ancient curriculum, providing themes for school exercises and even for such seminal texts as Hermogenes' theoretical treatises on rhetoric. Modern scholars might never read technical rhetorical texts such as Hermogenes. They almost certainly would never turn to Hermogenes and his kind to help them understand Thucydides or Herodotus. But for our ancient intellectual predecessors, such an approach would have been unconscionable, as ancient rhetoric was the theoretical lens with which they understood and appreciated historical writings. In this dissertation, I explore the confluence of rhetoric and historiography in the ancient world through an examination of how Herodotus and Thucydides were used in ancient schools and then by later historians. Chapter 1 and 2 outline how these historians were embedded and encoded within the rhetorical curriculum. In Chapter 1, I examine how Herodotus and Thucydides entered the rhetorical curriculum and how rhetors incorporated them into the rhetorical curriculum through an examination of the surviving progymnasmata, scholia, and pedagogical myths.

  • Barquilla De Ia Santa Maria
    Barquilla de Ia Santa Maria BULLETIN of the Catltolic Record Societv-., Diocese of Columbus Vol. XVII, No. 9 Sept. 14: Triumph of the Cross September, 1992 The steeple of the Belle Valley Church towers over the east side of the town. It is no.v recognized by neither Catholic officials nor the Synod of Orthodox Olurches. THE SLAVIC CATHOLICS OF GUERNSEY AND NOBLi COUNTIES by Lorle Porter, Ph.D. Part 3 The Great War and Beyond Loss of Belle Valley to the Orthodox Although Pope Benedict XV issued a letter Motu Proprio in 1917, affirming the distinct Byzantine rites, the heated ethnic and political pressures of -161- Europe continually spilled over into the American settlements. (62) The Byzantines solved the "Ukrainian Menace" by the division of the rite into two dioceses: Philadelphia for Ukrainians (Galicians and Uhro Russians) and Pittsburgh for Carpatho Rusyn. But this was not accomplished until two years after Bishop Soter Ortynski's death (in 1916) and the laity wandered in a "fog of confusion" with a veritable flood going over to Orthodoxy. The confusion of identity and loyalty was underscored by the annexation of three Carpatho Rusyn counties (Spis, Saris, and Zemplin) by Slovakia. These counties were the principal source of local immigration in Guernsey and Noble counties and the immigrant communities suffered the "identity crisis of Carpatho Russians in America." (63) At this crucial juncture, the Vatican appointed Basil Tarach as Bishop for the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Born to a priestly family in the village of Vuchkovo, Matamoros and educated at Uzhorod, Tarach was a European leader of a "popular front" against Magyarization and Russification of the church.

  • Byzantine Church Decoration and the Great Schism of 1054 *
    Alexei LIDOV BYZANTINE CHURCH DECORATION AND THE GREAT SCHISM OF 1054 * in Byzantion, LXVIII/2 (1998), pp.381-405 We can hardly overestimate the importance of changes that befell Byzantine church decoration in the 11th and 12th centuries--the time when a system was symbolically centered round the "Communion of the Apostles" above the altar. Despite age-old additions, it survived as the basis of the Orthodox Christian iconographic program. No less importantly, it was this new system that determined the disagreement in principles which made the Western Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions of church decorations part ways. The link between iconographic novelties and the liturgy has been amply demonstrated in scholarly literature1. Among the first was A. Grabar's work about the Jerusalem liturgical scroll2. G. Babic's article about the Officiating Bishops as connected with the Christological polemics of the 12th century notably influenced her researcher colleagues3. Chr. Walter's book Art and Ritual of the Byzantine Church4 offered a system of liturgical themes. A number of authors brought out and analyzed a range of iconographic themes and motifs to be explained by the contemporaneous liturgical context. Among these, we can single out studies of the image of Christ as the Man of Sorrows5, the Lamentation scene6, the particular iconographic types of Christ the High Priest consecrating the Church and Christ the Priest7. In fact, every serious study of an 11th or 12th century monument adds something new to our knowledge of the liturgical influences on church decoration. The new liturgical themes came down to us in non-contemporaneous monuments of the 11th and 12th centuries.

  • Assembling the Orthodox Soul: Practices of Religious Self-Formation Among Converts to Eastern Orthodoxy a Dissertation SUBMITT
    Assembling the Orthodox Soul: Practices of Religious Self-Formation among Converts to Eastern Orthodoxy A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Daniel Alan Winchester IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Adviser: Penny Edgell July 2013 Daniel Alan Winchester, 2013 © Acknowledgements It’s probably the classic sociological trick of the trade to take a phenomenon that appears purely individual and then demonstrate all of the collective, social work that went into constructing it. While my name appears on the title page of this dissertation, a multitude of others helped see this project through to completion. It takes a village, it seems, to finish a dissertation. So, to the members of my village… First and foremost, it’s obvious that this project would have been impossible from the start if not for the generosity of the many people in the Twin Cities’ Eastern Orthodox community who took time to speak with me about their journeys to the Orthodox Christian faith. Not only did they agree to interviews, they also asked me to join them for coffee or dinner, educated me on the finer points of Orthodox history and theology, and made me feel welcome in their churches and homes. While I can’t say that I’ve missed the hours of standing during liturgy since completing my fieldwork, I have missed seeing the warm and welcoming faces of these people on Sunday mornings. They displayed the Christian virtue of hospitality in abundance, and I thank them for sharing such a significant part of their lives with me.

  • Long Bridge Over Deep Waters, the Culminating Bridge Show of Our Four-And-A-Half-Year Faith-Based Cycle
    WELCOME FROM BILL RAUCH, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF CORNERSTONE THEATER COMPANY It's my great privilege to welcome you tonight to A Long Bridge Over Deep Waters, the culminating Bridge Show of our four-and-a-half-year Faith-Based Cycle. In January of 2001 we began with a central question: How does faith unite and divide us? Faith affiliation is often invisible to those around us. The monologues, scenes, testimonials, prayers, defiances and embraces that have followed, through a 21-play festival of short plays and seven full-length collaborations with different communities of faith, have brought home to me in a new way the unifying power and painful divisiveness of faith, its ability to bring us together and to drive us apart. Faith can put center stage our power to hurt one another, as well as our power to work together and to celebrate the beauty of every individual human life. Through his three-year odyssey of writing A Long Bridge Over Deep Waters, James Still has wrestled with how to help voice the play's communities, and he has done it with an integrity and courage that move and inspire me. In pursuing our mission of inclusion, we at Cornerstone often talk about making ourselves vulnerable, getting outside of ourselves to practice deep listening, and engaging in our work as a labor of love. James has taught me new depths of meaning behind these clichés. Cornerstone is always a collective effort. I am especially proud to have worked on this show alongside my brilliant Ensemble colleagues, our guest artists and our dedicated community collaborators.
