The Funeral Service for Helene Costas The Funeral Service for Helene Costas Friday 9 July 2021, 2.30pm The Dean meets the coffin at the South West door of the Cathedral. We receive the body of our sister Helene with confidence in God, the giver of life, who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead. The coffin is sprinkled with holy water. With this water we call to mind Helene’s baptism. As Christ went through the deep waters of death for us, so may he bring us to the fullness of resurrection life with Irene and all the redeemed. As the coffin is brought into the Cathedral to a recording of ‘No woman no cry’ by Bab Marley. When the coffin is in place the Dean says God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. John 3. 16 A family member brings forward an icon and places it on the coffin as the Cantor sings the Kontakion. The Dean then says 2 May the Lord Jesus pray for her. May Mary, theotokos, pray for her. May all the saints, pray for her. Introduction We meet in the name of Jesus Christ, who died and was raised to the glory of God the Father, to remember before God our sister Helene to give thanks for her life; to commend her to God our merciful redeemer and judge; to commit her body to be cremated, and to comfort one another in our grief. Grace, mercy and peace be with you all. Please be seated. Eulogy Led by Dr Barry Paraskeva Costas with an Ode to Auntie Tinky by Alicia. This is followed by a tribute by Alan Frame, a former colleague and Andy Taylor, Group Managing Editor of The Express Newspapers Please stand. 3 The Collect Let us pray. Merciful Father, hear our prayers and comfort us; renew our trust in your Son, whom you raised from the dead; strengthen our faith that Helene and all who have died in the love of Christ will share in his resurrection; who lives and reigns with you, now and for ever. All Amen. Please be seated. Reading Revelation 21. 3–7 Read by Dr Barry Paraskeva Costas. A reading from the book of the Revelation to St John. I heard a loud voice saying, ‘See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; 4 he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.’ And the one who was seated on the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new.’ Also he said, ‘Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.’ Then he said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life. Those who conquer will inherit these things, and I will be their God and they will be my children. This is the word of the Lord. All Thanks be to God. Hymn Lord of all hopefulness Sung by the choir. Reading ‘Sister’ read by Maria Costas Awad. Homily The Dean 5 Anthem A Gaelic blessing · John Rutter Prayers Let us pray. God of mercy, Lord of life, you have made us in your image to reflect your truth and light: we give you thanks for Helene, for the grace and mercy she received from you, for all that was good in her life, for the memories we treasure today. Lord, in your mercy All hear our prayer. You promised eternal life to those who believe. Remember for good this your servant Helene as we also remember her. Bring all who rest in Christ into the fullness of your kingdom where sins have been forgiven and death is no more. Lord, in your mercy All hear our prayer. 7 Your mighty power brings joy out of grief and life out of death. Look in mercy on Helene’s sisters and brothers, Maria, Barry, Paul, Stella, Rickey and Lisa; her nieces and nephews Athina, Alicia, Antony and Darion; and her Brothers in Law, Roger and Mick and Sister in Law, Polly and all others who have been affected by her death and all who have known and loved her. Give them patient faith in times of darkness. Strengthen them with the knowledge of your love. Lord, in your mercy All hear our prayer. You are tender towards your children and your mercy is over all your works. Heal the memories of hurt and failure. Give us the wisdom and grace to use aright the time that is left to us here on earth, to turn to Christ and follow in his steps in the way that leads to everlasting life. Lord, in your mercy All hear our prayer. 8 Jesus taught us to call God our Father and so we have the courage to say All Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. The Cantor then sings the Our Father in Greek. Please stand. Commendation Let us commend Helene to the mercy of God our maker and redeemer. As the Dean sprinkles and censes the coffin the choir sings 'Mother of God, here I stand' (John Tavener). 9 Into your hands, O merciful Saviour, we commend your servant Helene. Acknowledge, we pray, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Enfold her in the arms of your mercy, in the blessed rest of everlasting peace and in the glorious company of the saints in light. All Amen. The Cantor intones in Greek the final prayer 'Eternal Remembrance' from the Orthodox funeral liturgy. The Dismissal May God in his infinite love and mercy bring the whole Church, living and departed in the Lord Jesus, to a joyful resurrection and the fulfilment of his eternal kingdom; and the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be among you and remain with you always. All Amen. The icon is removed from the coffin and the picture of Helene from its stand. The coffin is carried from the Cathedral to a recording of ‘Three little birds’ by Bob Marley. 10 You are all welcome to re-join the family at the Lord Nelson at 5.30pm to celebrate Helene’s life. There are some lovely river walks and cafes around the area that Helene loved, so maybe spend a little time at her favourite places and especially looking around the Cathedral. 11 Common Worship: Services and Prayers for the Church of England, material from which is included in this service, is copyright © The Archbishops’ Council 2000.

  • Cantor, God, and Inconsistent Multiplicities*
    STUDIES IN LOGIC, GRAMMAR AND RHETORIC 44 (57) 2016 DOI: 10.1515/slgr-2016-0008 Aaron R. Thomas-Bolduc University of Calgary CANTOR, GOD, AND INCONSISTENT MULTIPLICITIES* Abstract. The importance of Georg Cantor’s religious convictions is often ne- glected in discussions of his mathematics and metaphysics. Herein I argue, pace Jan´e(1995), that due to the importance of Christianity to Cantor, he would have never thought of absolutely infinite collections/inconsistent multiplicities, as being merely potential, or as being purely mathematical entities. I begin by considering and rejecting two arguments due to Ignacio Jan´e based on letters to Hilbert and the generating principles for ordinals, respectively, showing that my reading of Cantor is consistent with that evidence. I then argue that evidence from Cantor’s later writings shows that he was still very religious later in his career, and thus would not have given up on the reality of the absolute, as that would imply an imperfection on the part of God. The theological acceptance of his set theory was very important to Can- tor. Despite this, the influence of theology on his conception of absolutely infinite collections, or inconsistent multiplicities, is often ignored in contem- porary literature.1 I will be arguing that due in part to his religious convic- tions, and despite an apparent tension between his earlier and later writings, Cantor would never have considered inconsistent multiplicities (similar to what we now call proper classes) as completed in a mathematical sense, though they are completed in Intellectus Divino. Before delving into the issue of the actuality or otherwise of certain infinite collections, it will be informative to give an explanation of Cantor’s terminology, as well a sketch of Cantor’s relationship with religion and reli- gious figures.

    Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music Vol. 4 (1), Section II: Conference papers, pp. 83-97 ISSN 2342-1258 https://journal.fi/jisocm Stifling Creativity: Problems Born out of the Promulgation of the 1906 Tserkovnoje Prostopinije Fr Silouan Sloan Rolando [email protected] At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Greek Catholic Bishop of the city of Mukačevo in what is now Ukraine promulgated an anthology of Carpatho- Rusyn chant known as the Церковноє Простопѣніє (hereafter, the Prostopinije) or Ecclesiastical Plainchant. While this book follows in the tradition of printed Heirmologia found throughout the Orthodox and Greek Catholic churches of Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia starting in the sixteenth century, this book presents us with a number of issues that affect the quality and usability of this chant in both its homeland and abroad as well as in the original language, Old Church Slavonic, and in modern languages such as Ukrainian, Hungarian and English. Assuming that creativity is more than just producing new music out of thin air, the problems revealed in the Prostopinije can be a starting point the better to understand how creativity can be unintentionally stifled and what can be done to overcome these particular obstacles. A Brief History Heirmologia in this tradition are anthologies of traditional chant that developed in the emergence of the Kievan five-line notation in place of the older Znamenny neums. With the emergence of patterned chant systems variously called Kievan, Galician, Greek and Bulharski, each touting unique melodies for each tone and each element of liturgy, the Heirmologia would be augmented with these chants often replacing the older Znamenny, especially for the troparia, stichera and prokeimena of the Octoechos.
