  • 1 Father Is Head at the Table Male Eucharistic Headship and Primary
    Father is Head at the Table Male Eucharistic Headship and Primary Spiritual Leadership The Rt. Rev. Ray R. Sutton, Ph.D. Introductory Comments The purpose of this summary paper is to present several Biblical, historical and mission‐al arguments for a male only presbyterate/priesthood. The thesis is that only the male is appointed by God to be the spiritual head conveying at the altar the Fatherhood of God in Christ. This Biblical order and way of presenting the Eucharistic presence of God among His people appeared in a Greco‐Roman culture, which had women priests; in other words it was not a culture unwilling to have women priests. Such views went essentially unchallenged until the cultural upheaval of 20th century, northern hemispheric cultures. The recentness of views challenging a male only presbyterate, episcopate and even in some sense the diaconate, call for extreme, careful, loving theological discussion, caution and patience. In decades since WWII, new exegesis, advocating women in the presbyterate, has re‐translated and re‐interpreted classic texts that have essentially been understood one way by the entire Catholic Church in the past and even among most at present. The result has been that there is indeed a growing movement among some evangelicals and a few Catholics who support women pastors. Nevertheless, among the present, overwhelming consensus of Catholic Christianity (Roman, Orthodox and much of Anglican) and the majority of the culture of conservative, Protestant Christians who take the Bible seriously, there still continues a strong commitment to exegesis and historical interpretation supporting male only pastors (presbyters/priests).

The Church is a living organism like a body, with all its members and functions under the direction of the head.

  • Reclaiming Jesus the Jew in Art and Religious Education
    WHAT DID JESUS LOOK LIKE? RECLAIMING JESUS THE JEW IN ART AND RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Maurice Ryan Introduction No one knows what Jesus of Nazareth looked like. No descriptions of Jesus’ physical appearance are offered in the New Testament, aside from some incidental mentions of his clothing. Multiple images of Jesus exist but none can be dated to eyewitness accounts of those who encountered him. Jesus of Nazareth is the most rendered subject for artists in history, yet none of these representations is based on any primary source. The absence of primary sources has allowed artists to portray Jesus based on questionable criteria. Paradoxically, his image is better known - and interpreted - than his teachings: “while the teachings and words of Jesus may not be universally known, and are not universally followed, it seems that images of him have become omnipresent” (Blum, 2019, p. 32). These realities present religious educators with challenges when presenting Jesus of Nazareth. The dominant images of Jesus presented by artists represent him in European terms, and as a prototypical Christian, rather than as an observant Jewish male of the first century CE. Religious educators require some context for understanding the reasons for this development, as well as a range of educational tools to interrogate and critically appraise artistic representations of Jesus. The following discussion seeks to provide educational resources for presenting Jesus of Nazareth. The Physical Appearance of Jesus in the Gospels The overriding obstacle in producing a portrait of Jesus is the absence of any contemporary description of his appearance. Scholars accept that no descriptions of Jesus’ physical appearance are included in the gospels, aside from some incidental mentions of his clothing (Pemberton, 2006; Taylor, 2018).

  • How an Iconic Painting of Jesus As a White Man Was Distributed Around the World
    How an iconic painting of Jesus as a white man was distributed around the world Emily McFarlan | Religion News ServiceJune 25, 2020 at 3:24 p.m. EDT Painting by Warner Sallman, “Head of Christ,” © 1941 Warner Press Inc., Anderson, Indiana. Used with permission via RNS (Warner Press Inc.) CHICAGO — The first time the Rev. Lettie Moses Carr saw Jesus depicted as black, she was in her 20s. It felt “weird,” Carr said. Until that moment, she had always thought Jesus was white. At least that’s how he appeared when she was growing up. A copy of Warner E. Sallman’s “Head of Christ” painting hung in her home, depicting a gentle Jesus with blue eyes turned heavenward and dark blond hair cascading over his shoulders in waves. The painting, which has been reproduced a billion times, came to define what the central figure of Christianity looked like for generations of Christians in the United States — and beyond. For years, Sallman’s Jesus “represented the image of God,” said Carr, the director of ministry and administrative support staff at First Baptist Church of Glenarden in Maryland. When she grew up and began to study the Bible on her own, she started to wonder about that painting and the message it sent. “It didn’t make sense that this picture was of this white guy,” she said. Carr isn’t the first to question Sallman’s image of Jesus and the impact it’s had not only on theology but also on the wider culture. As protesters around the United States tear down statues of Confederate heroes and demand an accounting for the country’s long legacy of racism, some in the church are asking whether the time has come to cancel what is called white Jesus — including Sallman’s famed painting.

  • MIAMI UNIVERSITY the Graduate School
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Kimberly Kappler Hewitt Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Director Lisa D. Weems Reader Kathleen Knight-Abowitz Reader Peter Magolda Graduate School Representative Tammy Schwartz ABSTRACT HOW EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN WOMEN NEGOTIATE DISCOURSES IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SELF: A POSTSTRUCTURAL FEMINIST ANALYSIS by Kimberly Kappler Hewitt Situating my research within the theoretical framework of poststructural feminism, I pose the question, ―How do evangelical Christian women negotiate, appropriate, resist, and embrace the multiple and conflicting discourses through which they are constituted and constitute themselves?‖ To explore this question, I asked participants to create artifacts to address a prompt designed to explore their multiple and conflicting discourses. I also conducted two-part interviews with each participant. Using the methods of textual analysis and deconstruction, I concluded that each of the women moves—often uneasily—between the dominant discourse of complementarianism and the counter- discourse of egalitarianism. Each woman‘s views are complex, nuanced, and at times paradoxical. While each of the women remained committed to the discursive construct of headship at least symbolically, each of the women also employed multiple strategies to emasculate it. Further, all of the women rejected dominant and hegemonic readings of key biblical passages and used a variety of strategies to re-read and un-read the passages. While each participant invokes the language and claims of liberal feminism, especially within her professional discourse, most participants eschew the term ―feminist,‖ and all of them evince complex views on the discourse of feminism.

    Issue 91: Michelangelo: Art for Faith’s Sake Michelangelo: Did You Know? Interesting facts about Michelangelo and the Renaissance Bringing a masterpiece back to life For centuries, the Sistine Chapel frescoes were characterized by muted colors and dark shadows. Some people even assumed that Michelangelo, who saw himself as a sculptor rather than a painter, was more interested inform than color. But a major restoration project in the 1980s showed what a thorough cleaning can do. Over the course of a decade and in the center of a swirling international controversy, conservators used computer technology and chemical solvents to repair damaged sections and wipe away the accumulated grime. Their efforts uncovered a brilliantly colorful ceiling that revealed Michelangelo's genius anew. When the project was completed in 1990, the New York Times called the result "overwhelmingly beautiful." Restoration of Michelangelo's Last Judgment on the altar wall soon followed. Mortal hero Michelangelo's reputation was so immense that contemporaries lauded him as "the divine Michelangelo." But before his death the aging artist wrote to a friend that he was only "a poor man and of little value, a man who goes along laboring in that art which God has given me for as long as I possibly can." Investigating the past During the Renaissance, the humanists' efforts to study ancient texts and to purify Christianity [see p. 14] led to a number of groundbreaking discoveries. The classical scholar Lorenzo Valla (1406-1457) proved that the "Donation of Constantine"a document granting the pope temporal power over the Western Roman Empirecould not have been written by the emperor Constantine but was a later forgery.

  • Visual Aids I Remember in Elementary School the Black Boards on Which the Teachers Would Use Chalk As Visual Aids for Learning
    “No person has ever seen God, so He needs your life to be His visual aid.” Visual Aids I remember in elementary school the black boards on which the teachers would use chalk as visual aids for learning. I would love when it was my turn to clean the easers. We would go outside and hit the easers together and chalk dust would go everywhere. I also remember in Sunday School seeing flannel graphs to illustrate stories. Then in high school, I was in the AV club and we would take overhead projects, TVs and even film projects to show visual aids in different class rooms. Then in college (before PCs), they used slide projects to project images. (I remember that for a senior project, we borrowed the Science Department’s project and it got lost.) About 20 years later, I then helped with the beginnings of PowerPoint in church announcements. The church, I belong to now, uses 15 projects to give visual aid during each Sunday worship and the pastor is shown on the screen at the satellite locations. A visual aid that has been used to help lead and encourage many to Christ are the paintings by Warner Sallman. “The Head of Christ, is a 1940 portrait painting of Jesus of Nazareth by American artist Warner Sallman. As an extraordinarily successful work of Christian popular devotional art, it had been reproduced over half a billion times worldwide by the end of the 20th century. Enlarged copies of the work have been made for churches and small pocket or wallet-sized prayer cards, bearing the image, have been mass-produced for private devotional use.

  • We See Jesus (PDF)
    IMAGE: A JOURNAL OF THE ARTS THEODORE PRESCOTT We See Jesus? But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death. —Hebrews 2:9 may not be the person to write about popular Christian imagery. I grew up in a home that was politely Protestant. Both art and religion were accorded Ia genteel respectability; serious, refined, and worthy of study, but a little bit remote from the pressing concerns of youth and living. One of the artworks in our home was a good reproduction of a Raphael Madonna. It was behind glass, and had a gilt neo-classical frame with pillars and an entablature. Across the bottom it said “La Virgine col Bambino” in sunken Roman typeface. Even when I see it today, it has a gravity that I don’t find in “museum quality” reproductions. In Protestant New England I didn’t have any direct experience with popular religious art. About as close as I came was through my friend Woody, an aspiring folk singer. He sang with an affected nasal style, and one of his favorite songs had the refrain “I don’t care if it rains or freezes, as long as I got mah plastic Jezus, ridin’ on the dash board of my car. .” Of course, Catholics had lots of cheap statues and pictures. But as the song made clear, they were to be mocked for both superstition and bad taste, though I’m not sure which was the worst offense. The first time I recall encountering any popular Christian pictures personally was in college.
