Human value comes from God. our response to God’s love. His love is shown in October 2003 3 EDITORIAL is called to tend to the sheep of the Lord. We must nurture our children, siblings and peers. Perhaps nothing is more important than revealing God’s unconditional love to our children. They need to feel loved as they attempt to gain competency and self-esteem. When they sometimes feel unsuccess- ful or sinful and thus unlovable, our children need acceptance and our witness of God’s love. They need to learn that their value comes from God and not from what they are able to do. Among the most important aspects of God’s love which we are required to share is compas- sion. God’s compassion for us is so important because we are wounded people in a broken and damaging world. It is so important for us to share God’s love and compassion with each other when we are suffering, because God’s people reveal God’s presence in His world. Because God has united Himself to us, we must express God and our unity with Him everywhere we go. We must be ready to articulate the faith, and in hearing our siblings’ errors, to guide and correct with humility and love. This requires special study, sharpening of skills, and the mastery of the- ological language. And each of us who is baptized is called to feed the sheep of the Lord, the Lord who took on humanity and calls all of humanity home to Himself. This requires still more study, the post-resurrectional appearances of John 21, prayer and preparation, as well as courage to when He breaks bread and feeds the disciples, and speak and discernment to know when to speak. in the miracle of calling the fish into This year, at the Antiochian House the nets.

  • Constantinople's Last Stand
    Constantinople's Last Stand By Whitney Mason ISTANBUL-The second day of the school year in Istanbul was a good one to be inside. The air was cool without being fresh and the leaden skies threatened rain. And surely no school, I thought, could look more im- pressive than the one where I had an appointment with the headmaster that morning. The Special "Rum" (the Turkish. word for a Greek of Turkish citizenship, literally meaning "Roman") High School was a palatial edifice of red brick drawn up steeply against the hills of Istanbul's Fener district overlooking the Golden Horn. The front gatewas painted fire engine red. Inside, the pastels on the molded ceiling and pil- lars looked as fresh as the cheeks of a turn-of-the-century The Rum Levantine bride.

At around 11 I heard a little commotion and poked my head into the main hall. A half-dozen boys and girls in uniforms were talking quietly. There was no sound of excited young voices, no tardy boys tearing around corners. All the students were at their appointed places all 62 of them.

    1 ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST It is not easy to talk about him – his name is great, great is his image and meaning. We talk and at the same time we know that there is something more to be uttered – the more we learn about him, the greater the feeling is that something is slipping away. We cannot imagine any church without his image. Moreover, even a museum, where this canonical prescription is not necessary, is favoured to show his image among the masterpieces exposed. What was both before and after Leonardo known can be covered in one sentence – great art cannot be great if it has not dealt with John the Baptist. His name and his image are already an emblem for two millennia for Christians, and not only for them. To answer why, we should tell a story. The story of John – the Baptist, and the Forerunner of Christ. The first knowledge of John as a prophet, the Forerunner and the Baptist of Christ, we owe to the pages of the New Testament. However, in time they have been so intertwined with the subsequent texts – some of them intended for church worship, another part as a record of oral tradition, that it is difficult to be differentiated today. Yet it is important to be differentiated, in order to see the long way the oral and written traditions both had walked, since the images of the Forerunner lean on them, which culture keeps until today. Let us begin with the Gospel texts and what they tell us about John, and then about the other texts in the New Testament.

    FOundation FOR RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGY – HELLAS INSTITUTE FOR MEDITERRANEAN STUDIES OTTOMAN RURAL SOCIETIES AND ECONOMIES Halcyon Days in Crete VIII A Symposium Held in Rethymno 13-15 January 2012 Edited by Elias Kolovos CRETE UNIVERSITY PRESS Rethymno 2015 THE RURAL HINTERLAND OF KARAFERYE: SETTLEMENTS, DIVISIONS, AND THE ÇİFTLİK PHENOMENON (SEVENTEENTH – EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES) Antonis ANASTASOPOULOS* – Eleni GARA** THE TOPIC OF THIS ESSAY IS THE RURAL DISTRICT OF KARAFERYE, in present-day central Macedonia, Greece. More specifically, we will focus on two interrelated issues, namely, the distribution and evolution of human settlement as reflected in the Ottoman sources, and the divisions and boundaries which were imposed by the administrative and fiscal or- ganisation of the physical space. In this context, we will also deal with the changes which are linked to a development that had a great impact on Karaferye, namely, the prolifera- tion of the çiftlik holdings. The town of Veria – such is the Greek name of Karaferye – was first conquered by the Ottomans in the late fourteenth century (most probably in 1387), but was definitely incor- porated into the Ottoman state in or around 1430.1 The name of the town, which traced its foundation back to antiquity, to the times of the kings of Macedon, and of its district, was corrupted into Karaferye (Black Veria)2 by the Ottomans, who maintained control until 1912, when Veria became part of the Greek state. From an administrative point of view, Karaferye was first part of the Pasha’s district (Paşa sancağı or Paşa livâsı) and later on, * University of Crete, Department of History and Archaeology and FO.R.T.H., Institute for Med- iterranean Studies.

Indeed, Lapointe and Rivard (2007) developed a framework for studying such resistance which revealed the importance of the level and longitudinal aspects of ICT adoption. Less well-explored is meso-level resistance to ICTs, and how such resistance may itself be resisted. In this thesis I construct a conceptual framework to explore just such resistance.
