NCPC Sanctuary Banners NCPC Sanctuary Banners You’ve probably noticed the banners hanging in the sanctuary and won- dered, “Where did those come from? Why are they there? What do they mean?” This booklet has been created to answer those questions. • First, the banners were designed by our former Assitant Pastor, Todd Weedman, and excellently constructed in 2012 by: Marlene Allen Tonya Caldon Marya Fancey Adrienne Mathues Debbie McFall • Second, the banners were created to help distinguish our sanctuary as a place of Christian worship. Many churches have pews and stained glass-windows, which contain symbols of our Christian faith and heritage - we sought to do this with banners. **Many of the banners are Christograms: a monogram or combination of letters that forms an abbreviation for the name of Jesus Christ. Page 1 Chi Rho The Chi Rho symbol is a very ancient Christo- gram**. As early as the 2nd century BC, Greek scholars used the symbol as a diacritical mark next to particularly profound passages. For them, the Greek letters Χ (chi) and Ρ (rho) abbre- viated the greek word Χρεστον, which means “good.” The symbol took on a special meaning for 1st century Christians, as the letters also ab- breviate the name Χριστος (Christ). Anchor/ΙΧΘΥΣ The Anchor became the most prominent Christian symbol (more so then even the cross) during the first-century period of Roman per- secution and symbolized the hope and securi- ty all Christians have in Christ (Hebrews 6:19). Epitaphs on first-century believers’ tombs fre- quently dispalyed anchors alongside mesages of hope. The Fish is a first century Christian symbol. ΙΧΘΥΣ (pronounced icthus) is the Greek word for fish, and it’s individual letters form an acrostic: Ιησοῦς (Jesus) Χριστός (Christ) Θεοῦ (God’s) Υἱός (Son) Σωτήρ (the Savior) Page 2 Spirit of Pentecost Before He ascended into heaven, to the right hand of the Father, Jesus promised to baptize His disciples with the Spirit. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples in tongues of fire, empowering them to fulfill the Great Commission. The very same Holy Spirit is the gift and seal to all believers, received at conversion, also empowering us to accomplish God’s world mission. Baptism is the Sacrament by which we enter the visible church, it is our own initiation to the worshiping community of God. “...for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” (Acts 1:5). Triquetra The triquetra, has been used by Christians as a symbol of the holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spririt), especially among Irish believers, recalling the three-leafed shamrock which was similarly offered as a representation of the Trini- ty by St. Patrick who first brought the Gospel to Ireland in the late 4th century. The image re- flects the complexity of the divine nature, being three in one. A very common representation of the symbol is with a circle that goes through the three interconnected loops of the Triquetra. The circle emphasizes the unity of the whole combi- nation of the three elements. “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” (2 Corinthians 13:14) Page 3 Communion The Westminster Shorter Catechism tells us that the outward and ordinary means of grace, whereby Christ communicates to us the bene- fits of redemption are the Word, the Sacraments and Prayer. The Sacraments, are represented on two of our banners: Holy Communion being represented in this banner, and Baptism rep- resented in the Spirit of Pentecost banner. The bread and the wine of communion symbolical- ly point to Christ’s body and blood, but they also are tangible evidences of God’s grace, for as surely as we can touch, see, smell and taste these elements, we can be assured of the salva- tion work of Christ’s body broken. “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” (1 Corinthians 11:26) IC XC NIKA IC XC NIKA is an ancient Christogram**, usually placed upon a cross. IC is an abbreviation of the Greek Ιησοῦς (Jesus), XC is an abbreviation of the Greek Χριστός (Christ), and the Greek word Νικα means “conquers.” Upon the cross of death and shame, Jesus Christ conquered sin and death. For this reason, this Christogram has tradiaionally been placed upon a field of white, surrounding a cross. “The lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.” (Revelation 17:14). Page 4 IHS IHS is an ancient Christogram**, abbreviating the Greek Ιησοῦς (Jesus). As Christianity flourished in the west, Latin speakers found a second meaning for the symbol, an acrostic: Iesus (Jesus) Hominum (Men’s) Salvator (Savior) Jesus, the Savior, is the light of the world. (John 8:12). עּמנּואל There are two aspects to this symbol. First, the Hebrew word, “Immanuel”, and the second, the star of David. The Hebrew word “Immanuel” means “God, with us.” In Isaiah 7:14, God prom- ises a sign to the people of Israel – a sign of His covenant faithfulness – a child, born of a virgin the long awaited Son of David, who would rule with justice and equity forever. In Matthew 1:17 it is revealed that Jesus is the messiah, that is, Immanuel. When we gather to worship, we are actually engaging in a political activity, ushering in the Kingdom of God. We are expressing our longing for Him to come and make all things right and new in our broken world. The words we read, the prayers we pray, the songs we sing - they are all declaring our allegiance to King Jesus, the Messianic Son of David, to whom all rulers and powers and authorities will one day bow the knee. Page 5 The Word In his Gospel, John the Evangelist describes Jesus as “The Word” (John 1). In his Revelation, John the Presbyter records Jesus’ own words (Revelation 1:8; 21:6; 22:13), “I am the Alpha and Omega, beginning and end.” This testimony is profound for the Christian. This means that Jesus is more than a good teacher or a prophet – He is God Almighty, who was and is and is to come. As Christians, we unapologetically wor- ship Jesus Christ, and His Word is the only rule to direct us in faith and practice. Agnus Dei Agnus Dei is Latin for “Lamb of God. “ This sym- bol references the Biblical image of Jesus as the “Lamb of God,” referenced throughout Scripture prophet described the Messiah as a “suffering servant,” one who, like a sacrificial lamb would be led to die for our atonement. John the Bap- tist was the first mortal to acknowledge that Jesus of Nazareth was the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy when he declared, “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). In Acts 8, Philip the Evangelist also associated the now risen Christ with the proph- et’s vision. Further, in his book of Revelation, John of Patmos shares a vision of the “Lamb of God” who alone is found worthy to open the scroll and to break its seven seals. (Revelation 5:9) Page 6.

  • 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.

  • Baptism: Valid and Invalid
    BAPTISM: VALID AND INVALID The following information has been provided to the Office of Worship and Christian Initiation by Father Jerry Plotkowski, Judicial Vicar. It is our hope that it will help you in discerning the canonical status of your candidates. BAPTISM IN PROTESTANT RELIGIONS Most Protestant baptisms are recognized as valid baptisms. Some are not. It is very difficult to question the validity of a baptism because of an intention either on the part of the minister or on the part of the one being baptized. ADVENTISTS: Water baptism is by immersion with the Trinitarian formula. Valid. Baptism is given at the age of reason. A dedication ceremony is given to infants. The two ceremonies are separate. (Many Protestant religions have the dedication ceremony or other ceremony, which is not a baptism. If the church has the dedication ceremony, baptism is generally not conferred until the age of reason or until the approximate age of 13). AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL: Baptism with water by sprinkling, pouring, or dunking. Trinitarian form is used. Valid. There is an open door ceremony, which is not baptism. AMISH: This is coupled with Mennonites. No infant baptism. The rite of baptism seems valid. ANGLICAN: Valid baptism. APOSTOLIC CHURCH: An affirmative decision has been granted in one case involving "baptism" in the apostolic church. The minister baptized according to the second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, and not St. Matthew. The form used was: "We baptize you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive a gift of the Holy Ghost." No Trinitarian form was used.

  • Profile of a Plant: the Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE By
    Profile of a Plant: The Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE by Benjamin Jon Graham A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Paolo Squatriti, Chair Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes Professor Richard P. Tucker Professor Raymond H. Van Dam © Benjamin J. Graham, 2014 Acknowledgements Planting an olive tree is an act of faith. A cultivator must patiently protect, water, and till the soil around the plant for fifteen years before it begins to bear fruit. Though this dissertation is not nearly as useful or palatable as the olive’s pressed fruits, its slow growth to completion resembles the tree in as much as it was the patient and diligent kindness of my friends, mentors, and family that enabled me to finish the project. Mercifully it took fewer than fifteen years. My deepest thanks go to Paolo Squatriti, who provoked and inspired me to write an unconventional dissertation. I am unable to articulate the ways he has influenced my scholarship, teaching, and life. Ray Van Dam’s clarity of thought helped to shape and rein in my run-away ideas. Diane Hughes unfailingly saw the big picture—how the story of the olive connected to different strands of history. These three people in particular made graduate school a humane and deeply edifying experience. Joining them for the dissertation defense was Richard Tucker, whose capacious understanding of the history of the environment improved this work immensely. In addition to these, I would like to thank David Akin, Hussein Fancy, Tom Green, Alison Cornish, Kathleen King, Lorna Alstetter, Diana Denney, Terre Fisher, Liz Kamali, Jon Farr, Yanay Israeli, and Noah Blan, all at the University of Michigan, for their benevolence.

  • Christian Names for Catholic Boys and Girls
    CHRISTIAN NAMES FOR CATHOLIC BOYS AND GIRLS CHRISTIAN NAMES FOR CATHOLIC BOYS AND GIRLS The moment has arrived to choose a Christian name for the baptism of a baby boys or girl. What should the child be called? Must he/she receive the name of a saint? According to the revised Catholic Church Canon Law, it is no longer mandatory that the child receive the name of a saint. The Canon Law states: "Parents, sponsors and parish priests are to take care that a name is not given which is foreign to Christian sentiment." [Canon # 855] In other words, the chosen name must appeal to the Christian community. While the names of Jesus and Judas are Biblical in nature, the choice of such names would result in controversy. To many, the Name Jesus is Sacred and the Most Holy of all names. Because Judas is the disciple who betrayed Jesus, many feel this would be a poor choice. Equally, names such as 'cadillac' or 'buick' are not suitable because they represent the individual person's personal interest in certain cars. The following is a short list of names that are suitable for boys and girls. Please keep in mind that this list is far from complete. NAMES FOR BOYS Aaron (Heb., the exalted one) Arthur (Celt., supreme ruler) Abel (Heb., breath) Athanasius (Gr., immortal) Abner (Heb., father of light) Aubrey (Fr., ruler) Abraham (Heb., father of a multitude) Augustine (Dim., of Augustus) Adalbert (Teut., nobly bright) Augustus (Lat., majestic) Adam (Heb., the one made; human Austin (Var., of Augustine) being; red earth) Adelbert (Var., of Adalbert) Baldwin (Teut., noble friend) Adrian (Lat., dark) Barnabas (Heb., son of consolation) Aidan (Celt., fire) Barnaby (Var., of Bernard) Alan (Celt., cheerful) Bartholomew (Heb., son of Tolmai) Alban (Lat., white) Basil (Gr., royal) Albert (Teut., illustrious) Becket (From St.

  • Gold, Landscape, and Economy in Cristobal De Acuña’S Nuevo Descubrimiento Del Gran Rio De Las Amazonas (1641)
    Gold, Landscape, and Economy in Cristobal de Acuña’s Nuevo Descubrimiento del Gran Rio de las Amazonas (1641) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel Dinca M.A. Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Professor Ulises Juan Zevallos-Aguilar, advisor Professor Ignacio Corona Professor Fernando Unzueta Copyright by Daniel Dinca 2015 Abstract This dissertation analyzes how nature is represented and the functions it serves in the discourse of Nuevo descubrimiento del Gran rio de las Amazonas (1641) written by Cristobal de Acuña, one of the first detailed published accounts about the “discovery” of the Amazon region by Europeans. I argue that in Cristobal de Acuña’s narrative, Nuevo descubrimiento del Gran rio de las Amazonas (1641), the narrating subject tries to persuade the Spanish Crown to acknowledge the great economic potential that the natural resources from the Amazon region have to offer, how they would add to the wealth of the Spanish Empire and implicitly begin the Spanish efforts to colonize and evangelize the Amazon region. I claim that Acuña is “ahead of his time” and thinks like an innovative entrepreneurial capitalist proposing a new economic model for generating sustainable wealth: extraction and manufacture of the natural resources found in the Amazon region under a “state-guided” capitalistic system. Acuña does not just describe the unique, exotic landscapes he encounters in his voyage down the Amazon River, but rather these landscape descriptions serve the purpose of emphasizing the economic value of nature in the region.
