New Year’s Day (Nowruz) coincides with the spring equinox, and the months, in our country, are named after the signs of the zodiac. Even the liturgical calendar is closely con- nected with the rhythm of seasons. Apart from the Ember Days (Quattuor Tempora), whose arrangement is now rightly referred to the national Conferences of Bishops, in the General Roman Calendar the cycle of seasons is marked by some important litur- gical celebrations. Coinciding with the be- ginning of winter (solstice: 21/22 Decem- ber) we observe Christmas. The ancient Ro- mans on December 25 celebrated the festi- val of Sol Invictus (“Unconquered Sun”); Christians transformed that pagan festivity into the solemnity of the birth of Christ “Sun of justice.” At the beginning of spring (equinox: 20/21 March), the Church cele- brates, on March 25, the Annunciation of the Lord, that is, his conception in the womb of the Virgin Mary (exactly nine months be- fore his birth). The beginning of summer (solstice: 20/21 June) is marked by the Na- tivity of St. John the Baptist, on June 24.

  • Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549
    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

With grateful joy and holy fear God’s charity we learn; Let us with heart and mind and soul now love God in return. My life flows on in endless song above earth's lamentation. I hear the real though far-off hymn that hails a new creation. No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that rock I'm clinging. Forgive we now each other’s faults as we our faults confess; Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing? And let us love each other well in Christian holiness.

  • Michaelmas -- the Festival of Courage
    Why do Waldorf Schools have Michaelmas-Festival of Courage? The Festivals Committee has realized that many of the parents at WSB ask this question. In response, we offer the following as a window to deeper understanding. MICHAELMAS -- THE FESTIVAL OF COURAGE …We live in a time of hard tests for humanity, of hard tests which must become still harder. We live in a time in which a whole host of old forms of civilization to which humankind still erroneously clings, are sinking into the abyss, a time in which the claim insistently arises that we must find our way to something new. Rudolf Steiner At autumn time, as the life forces of nature recede, turning toward a winter sleep, the inner life of the human soul is awakening. It is a time of conscious selfhood, a time when we celebrate the building and strengthening of our inner life. In many cultures, the autumn time marks the beginning of a new year. The forces of nature are transiting with the autumnal equinox, as the relationship of light and darkness changes the world around us. The equinox is for us a turning point, a change in the relation of light and darkness in the world around us. On September 29th the autumn festival traditionally known as Michaelmas is celebrated. This festival is named for the Archangel Michael, conqueror of the powers of darkness, the harvester of the deeds of human souls. It is at this time that the image of Michael with the dragon appears before us as a mighty imagination, challenging us to develop strong, brave, free wills, to overcome love of ease, anxiety and fear.

After receiving the Holy Spirit, the Apostles “began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit ena- bled them to proclaim” (2:4). Those people “were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language” (2:6). That is why, “astounded and bewildered” (2:12) as they were, they asked, “Are not all these people who are speaking Galile- ans? Then how does each of us hear them in his own native language? We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God” (2:7-11).
