  • The Saint Andrew News
    The Saint Andrew News St. Andrew Orthodox Church - Riverside, CA Dear Parishioners, As we launch out into this first week of Great Lent we find our systems shocked and we find that the daily routine and rhythm of life is not at all easy to break. Here is the counsel of the Lord as we find it in the Matins of the 1st day of Great Lent: ―Let us joyfully begin the all-hallowed season of abstinence; and let us shine with the bright radiance of the holy commandments of Christ our God, with the brightness of love and the splendor of prayer, with the purity of holiness and the strength of good courage. So, clothed in raiment of light, let us hasten to the Holy Resurrection on the third day, that shines upon the world with the glory of eternal life." There are two important attitudes that we must have at this time according to this text, and that we must maintain throughout the whole of Lent. These two dispositions Volume 18 Issue 2 & 3 are: 1. A spirit of joy. 2. A courageous resolve to spiritually struggle. February/March 2009 1. "Let us joyfully begin..." Remember my dear ones that Lent is a great gift from Published Monthly God to us! It is an immense honor to keep the Lent, to make spiritual progress towards the Lord and His Kingdom, and to receive so much grace as we do St. Andrew Orthodox Church of during the fast. And remember that this is all so that Riverside is a parish of the Self-ruled Antiochian Orthodox we can authentically and properly embrace and rejoice Christian Archdiocese of North in our Savior's Resurrection from the dead on the America, Diocese of the West, Third Day! Above all this Lent try to fast, to serve, to the See of the Right Reverend deny yourself, to pray, to go to church, with joy and JOSEPH, Bishop of not with sourness.

  • Rachel Fulton Brown Great Books of the Middle Ages;
    Rachel Fulton Brown The University of Chicago Great Books of the Middle Ages; and How to Read Them What is a great book? You would think that I, at least, as a member of the faculty at the University of Chicago, would be able to answer this question. We are, after all, famous as the institution where Mortimer J. Adler did his work editing the Great Books of the Western World, the 54-volume set of 443 works by 74 white male authors published to great fanfare in 1952 and hailed by former president and chancellor of the University of Chicago Robert Maynard Hutchins as embodying “the faith of the West.” But contrary to common knowledge, Adler’s list of books had nothing to do with the Core curriculum of the undergraduate College at Chicago.1 Nor, as I hope to convince you, was it especially “great”—particularly if our goal is to understand, preserve, and build on what we now call Western civilization, but which I argue ought more properly to be called by its medieval term: “Christendom.” It is true that Adler had offices on campus on the fifth floor of the Social Sciences building where he and a team of 120 staffers burned through half of the project’s entire budget compiling an index of the 102 Great Ideas that Adler claimed ran through the 443 works the selection committee had chosen to represent the “Great Conversation of the Western World.” But Adler was not a member of the College 1 For the history of the project, see Alex Beam, A Great Idea at the Time: The Rise, Fall, and Curious Afterlife of the Great Books (New York: Public Affairs, 2008).

  • 2017 Newsletter, Issue Number 63
    NEWSLETTER Number 63: 2017 1 2 3 1 Abbey 900 in Cirencester During 2017 Cirencester has been celebrating the 900th anniversary of the ‘King’s great work at Cirencester’ - thought to be the foundation of Cirencester Abbey in 1117. Via the Abbey 900 programme of events, many people have been attracted to the history of the Abbey of St Mary and discovered more about its buildings (virtually all now long gone), and the people who made up the abbey community of Canons and formed part of town life for over 400 years. This issue is devoted to one important part of that story, the role of the Canons in scholarship, the significance of the abbey library and the key personalities in that story. Alan Welsford has been studying this subject for many years and was responsible for the idea of bringing Alexander Neckham further into the spotlight. With museum staff he was instrumental in securing the loan of four precious manuscripts associated with Abbot Alexander Neckham, some of which once belonged to the abbey’s library, for a special display in the Corinium Museum from January-May 2017 as part of Abbey 900. This loan will certainly be remembered as one of the highlights of the Abbey 900 year of events. Alan’s text used here has been developed from his blog on the Corinium Museum website accompanying the exhibition, with additional input from Dr Andrew Dunning describing the significance of the books on display. Its publication by the Society as its Newsletter for 2017 creates a permanent record of an important part of the story of Cirencester Abbey.
