  • Events of the Reformation Part 1 – Church Becomes Powerful Institution
    May 20, 2018 Events of the Reformation Protestants and Roman Catholics agree on first 5 centuries. What changed? Why did some in the Church want reform by the 16th century? Outline Why the Reformation? 1. Church becomes powerful institution. 2. Additional teaching and practices were added. 3. People begin questioning the Church. 4. Martin Luther’s protest. Part 1 – Church Becomes Powerful Institution Evidence of Rome’s power grab • In 2nd century we see bishops over regions; people looked to them for guidance. • Around 195AD there was dispute over which day to celebrate Passover (14th Nissan vs. Sunday) • Polycarp said 14th Nissan, but now Victor (Bishop of Rome) liked Sunday. • A council was convened to decide, and they decided on Sunday. • But bishops of Asia continued the Passover on 14th Nissan. • Eusebius wrote what happened next: “Thereupon Victor, who presided over the church at Rome, immediately attempted to cut off from the common unity the parishes of all Asia, with the churches that agreed with them, as heterodox [heretics]; and he wrote letters and declared all the brethren there wholly excommunicate.” (Eus., Hist. eccl. 5.24.9) Everyone started looking to Rome to settle disputes • Rome was always ending up on the winning side in their handling of controversial topics. 1 • So through a combination of the fact that Rome was the most important city in the ancient world and its bishop was always right doctrinally then everyone started looking to Rome. • So Rome took that power and developed it into the Roman Catholic Church by the 600s. Church granted power to rule • Constantine gave the pope power to rule over Italy, Jerusalem, Constantinople and Alexandria.

    The Holy See CARITATIS STUDIUM ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII ON THE CHURCH IN SCOTLAND To Our Venerable Brethren, the Archbishops, and Bishops of Scotland. Venerable Brethren, Health and Apostolic Blessing. The ardent charity which renders Us solicitous of Our separated brethren, in nowise permits Us to cease Our efforts to bring back to the embrace of the GoodShepherd those whom manifold error causes to stand aloof from the one Fold ofChrist. Day after day We deplore more deeply the unhappy lot of those who aredeprived of the fullness of the Christian Faith. Wherefore moved by the sense ofthe responsibility which Our most sacred office entails, and by the spirit andgrace of the most loving Saviour of men, Whom We unworthily represent, We areconstantly imploring them to agree at last to restore together with Us thecommunion of the one and the same faith. A momentous work, and of all humanworks the most difficult to be accomplished; one which God's almighty poweralone can effect. But for this very reason We do not lose heart, nor are Wedeterred from Our purpose by the magnitude of the difficulties which cannot beovercome by human power alone. "We preach Christ crucified . and theweakness of God is stronger than men" (1 Cor. i. 23-25). In the midstof so many errors and of so many evils with which We are afflicted orthreatened, We continue to point out whence salvation should be sought,exhorting and admonishing all nations to lift up "their eyes to themountains whence help shall come" (Ps. cxx.). For indeed that which Isaiasspoke in prophecy has been fulfilled, and the Church of God stands forth soconspicuously by its Divine origin and authority that it can be distinguished byall beholders: "And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lordshall be prepared on the top of mountains and shall be exalted above thehills" (Is.

  • Nubian Moses, Ethiopian Exodus, Arabian Solomon
    NUBIAN MOSES, ETHIOPIAN EXODUS, ARABIAN SOLOMON RECONSTRUCTING THE OLD TESTAMENT NARRATIVE Bernard Leeman Mekele, Tigray Province, Ethiopia 2 August 2015 [email protected] SUMMARY The Hebrew/Old Testament contains a highly detailed account of the history of the Jews that begins with the arrival of their ancestral Hebrew in the Holy Land under the Patriarch Abraham. After centuries of slave labour in Egypt the Hebrew were freed by the Prophet Moses, who united them under divine law (Torah) and led them in an epic journey to the Promised Land of Canaan, which was eventually subdued by Joshua most probably around 1200 BC. Two ―Israelite‖ kingdoms emerged that enjoyed a zenith of about seventy five years under King David and King Solomon (ca.1000-925 BC). The northern kingdom (Israel) was destroyed by the Assyrians ca.722/721 BC and the southern kingdom (Judah) by the Babylonians ca. 586 BC. According to the Old Testament, the Jews (from the kingdom of Judah) returned to Jerusalem after they had assisted the Persians overthrow the Babylonians in the fifth century BC. It was in this period that the Old Testament was compiled, under the leadership of Ezra the priest-scribe [Coogan; Nicholson; Van der Toorn] Systematic scientific archaeology commenced in the British controlled Holy Land (Palestine) in the 1920‘s, specifically to confirm the Old Testament record [Albright]. This coincided with migration of persecuted Jews from Europe and elsewhere that culminated in the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, whose raison d‘être was partly that the Holy Land was the divinely ordained Jewish Promised Land but mostly because the preceding centuries had proved that it was largely impossible for Jews to find security and equitable treatment elsewhere.1 .

  • I Would Like to Outline Certain Areas of Crisis in Contemporary Theology That Are of Particular Importance for Us Today
    PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS: CRISES IN CONTEMPORARY THEOLOGY I would like to outline certain areas of crisis in contemporary theology that are of particular importance for us today. In doing so, I hope to stimulate your enthusiasm and imagination in the direction of further scholarly research to meet the challenge we face in filling our role in the contemporary theological situation. By crisis I mean a situation of concern, even of conflict, which presents a special challenge for theology today. With the help of our efficient committee on contemporary problems, the Board of Directors has been able to choose for discussion in this convention some important areas of crisis in contemporary theology. The topics that are being treated in this convention fall into three areas of critical concern for theologians today. First of all, there is the question of the liturgical dimensions of scriptural and theological studies; secondly, the ecumenical question of union in the Body of Christ, His Church; thirdly, the concern for Christian responsibility, particularly in the areas of parenthood, management, and scholarship. The study of the liturgical dimensions of theological studies is an important consideration for theologians today, not only because crucial changes are now being made in the liturgy, but especially because the roots of these changes affect so many other things in the theology of the Christian economy. The liturgy is the heartbeat of the Christian community. Just as the Christ-event gave perfect human expression in being, thought, word, and action to the mystery of God's complete self-gift to men, so the continuity of this Christ- event in history finds its culminating human expression within the people of God in the celebration of the liturgy.

The ^Most ^eparated ^Brethren Anabaptism, was a socio-religious inoveinent that was neither Catholic nor Protestant. It was a Christian inovem,ent of the m,ost radical sort in that it questioned virttuilly all the assumptions upon which sixteenth century society, culture, and church rested — WALTER KLAASSENI <HE MENNONITES, first known as Anabaptists, emerged in Thistory about 450 years ago as the most separated brethren" of the Protestant Reformation.2 They were separated not only from the Catholics but also from the Protestants, and sometimes from each other. Most pronounced and problematic of all was their withdrawal from the surrounding society and from the state. The resulting tensions, often persecutions, had the efTect of dispersing them over all of Europe and overseas. Eventually they were found in over 40 countries, including Canada, where their number is approaching 175,000. The origin of the Anabaptists as separatists in the above sense is crucial to the later development of the Mennonites in Canada and to their continuing self-understanding. It becomes necessary, therefore, to travel back into history and to take a closer look at the times in which they arose and the dynamics which gave them their unusual, often paradoxical, character for centuries to come.

  • Annex B Annex B: Representations Made in Response to the Diocese of Southwark’S Statutory Proposal to Establish a Church of England Secondary School in Kingston
    Annex B Annex B: Representations made in response to the Diocese of Southwark’s statutory proposal to establish a Church of England secondary school in Kingston (Please note: names are not given due to GDPR, unless they are representing organisations and/or occupy particular roles; and paragraph breaks have been removed to minimise the document’s length.) No. Name / Initials For / Comments Against / Neutral 1 JM For I am both a Christian with a questioning faith and a humanist. I understand there have been expressions against a new Church of England School being established in Kingston. This makes me sad and I wanted to register my support of such a new school. The Church of England, and indeed Christianity, while certainly far from flawless has a rich and long established tradition in education and has proved itself over the years to deliver education which is inclusive, accepting, questioning, and embracing of free thinking in an exemplary manner. While fundamentalism is a great concern for us all, whatever faith or none, and rightly so, I feel the humanist opposition ill thought out and one which also ignores their own historical narrative which shares similar roots and has much overlapping! Please register my contribution and support of this proposal for a new church school. 2 FM Against I wish to object to this proposal. It discriminates against local children who are denied places in their nearest school, only for these places to be given to children who live further away. In turn, local children then need to find a school place further away from their home.
