The article attempts to identify one of the many factors that have in- fluenced Orthodox theologians such as Vladimir Lossky and Dumitru Stăniloae, on the one hand, and Georges Florovsky and John Zizioulas, on the other, to adopt different positions when approaching the filioque as an ecclesiological question. Coman argues that the variety of approaches to the issue are tied up with the way in which each theologian has articulated his own ecclesiological synthesis between Christology and pneumatology. When the synthesis between the work of Christ and the work of the Spirit in the life of the Church is formed on the basis of the doctrine of the inner Trinity, as in the case of Lossky and Stăniloae – two main architects of a Trinitarian ecclesiology – the filioque is seen to affect the doctrine of the Church profoundly. On the other hand, when the synthesis between Christology and pneumatology is not grounded in the doctrine of the inner Trinity but in the eucha- ristic event, as is the case with Florovsky and Zizioulas – two leading proponents of a eucharistic ecclesiology – the filioque is not perceived as a central ecclesiological question. 2 Viorel Coman The anti-filioque rhetoric of Orthodox theologians has raged for centuries but the question of the ecclesiological rami- fications of the Western Trinitarian model has only emerged in the pre-Vatican II period.1 Due to the hostility and rivalry that marked the relationships between the East and the West at that time, a significant number of Orthodox theologians, including Vladimir Lossky (1903–1958) and Dumitru Stăniloae (1903– 1993), began to argue that the filioque had a negative impact upon the trajectory of the Roman Catholic doctrine of the Church. The ecclesiological differences between the two tradi- tions, including the primacy of the pope, were conceived by Lossky and Stăniloae as dependent upon the crucial question of the Spirit’s eternal procession. Without minimizing the im- portance of the pneumatological controversy, other Orthodox theologians, including George Florovsky (1893–1979)

  • An Overview of Russia's Late Mediaeval Musical
    Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music Vol. 4 (1), Section II: Conference papers, pp. 183–197 ISSN 2342-1258 https://journal.fi/jisocm An Overview of Russia’s Late Mediaeval Musical Culture, and the “New Repertoires”: Demestvenny, Put and Strochnóe Singing and Notations Nikita Simmons [email protected] Part I. Znamenny Chant and Stolp Notation1 In the primary tradition of Znamenny singing, almost all chant books of the Russian liturgical tradition used Stolp (Znamenny) notation. The Slavonic word stolp (pillar) describes the eight-week cycle of the Octoechos, while the Slavonic term znamya means “mark”, “note”, or “neume”. Slavic Stolp notation (along with early chant repertoire) has been in use since the tenth century (having been derived from Coislin B Palaeobyzantine notation), and in its latest stage of development it is still used by Russian Old Ritualists up to the present time. Beyond the basic level of neume-by-neume notation, Stolp chanting includes three methods of presenting complex melodic features: popévki, litsá and fíty, each of which were traditionally memorized by singers. (Popévki, also called kokízy2, are established sequences of neumes which are the essential “building blocks” of Znamenny chants, while litsa and fity are more lengthy and complex melodic patterns.) These contextual groups of symbols are usually referred to as “múdrye stróki” (“wise lines” or short- hand), indicating the use of “tainozamknénnost” (“secret-closure” or encryption). Stolp chanting, like its Byzantine parent, is organized according to the system of eight Tones, and each Tone (Slavonic: glas) contains a repertoire of popevki, fity and 1 Among the ranks of musicologists who have contributed significantly to the recovery of Russia’s late medieval musical traditions, we are most indebted to М.В.

  • The Christological Function of Divine Impassibility: Cyril of Alexandria and Contemporary Debate
    The Christological Function of Divine Impassibility: Cyril of Alexandria and Contemporary Debate by David Andrew Graham A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and the Theological Department of the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by David Andrew Graham 2013 The Christological Function of Divine Impassibility: Cyril of Alexandria and Contemporary Debate David Andrew Graham Master of Arts in Theology University of St. Michael’s College 2013 Abstract This thesis contributes to the debate over the meaning and function of the doctrine of divine impassibility in theological and especially christological discourse. Seeking to establish the coherence and utility of the paradoxical language characteristic of the received christological tradition (e.g. the impassible Word became passible flesh and suffered impassibly), it argues that the doctrine of divine apatheia illuminates the apocalyptic and soteriological dimension of the incarnate Son’s passible life more effectively than recent reactions against it. The first chapter explores the Christology of Cyril of Alexandria and the meaning and place of apatheia within it. In light of the christological tradition which Cyril epitomized, the second chapter engages contemporary critiques and re-appropriations of impassibility, focusing on the particular contributions of Jürgen Moltmann, Robert W. Jenson, Bruce L. McCormack and David Bentley Hart. ii Acknowledgments If this thesis communicates any truth, beauty and goodness, credit belongs to all those who have shaped my life up to this point. In particular, I would like to thank the Toronto School of Theology and Wycliffe College for providing space to do theology from within the catholic church.

  • Proposal to Encode Mediæval East-Slavic Musical Notation in Unicode
    Proposal to Encode Mediæval East-Slavic Musical Notation in Unicode Aleksandr Andreev Yuri Shardt Nikita Simmons PONOMAR PROJECT Abstract A proposal to encode eleven additional characters in the Musical Symbols block of Unicode required for support of mediæval East-Slavic (Kievan) Music Notation. 1 Introduction East Slavic musical notation, also known as Kievan, Synodal, or “square” music notation is a form of linear musical notation found predominantly in religious chant books of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Carpatho-Russian jurisdictions of Orthodoxy and Eastern-Rite Catholicism. e notation originated in present-day Ukraine in the very late 1500’s (in the monumental Irmologion published by the Supraśl Monastery), and is derived from Renaissance-era musical forms used in Poland. Following the political union of Ukraine and Muscovite Russia in the 1660’s, this notational form became popular in Moscow and eventually replaced Znamenny neumatic notation in the chant books of the Russian Orthodox Church. e first published musical chant books using Kievan notation were issued in 1772, and, though Western musical notation (what is referred to as Common Music Notation [CMN]) was introduced in Russia in the 1700’s, Kievan notation continued to be used. As late as the early 1900’s, the publishing house of the Holy Synod released nearly the entire corpus of chant books in Kievan notation. e Prazdniki and Obihod chant books from this edition were reprinted in Russia in 2004; the compendium Sputnik Psalomschika (e Precentor’s Companion) was reprinted by Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, NY, in 2012. ese books may be found in the choir los of many monasteries and parishes today.

  • A New History of the Carillon
    A New History of the Carillon TIFFANY K. NG Rombouts, Luc. Singing Bronze: A History of Carillon Music. Translated by Com- municationwise. Leuven: Leuven University Press, 2014, 368 pp. HE CARILLON IS HIDDEN IN plain sight: the instrument and its players cannot be found performing in concert halls, yet while carillonneurs and Tkeyboards are invisible, their towers provide a musical soundscape and focal point for over six hundred cities, neighborhoods, campuses, and parks in Europe, North America, and beyond. The carillon, a keyboard instrument of at least two octaves of precisely tuned bronze bells, played from a mechanical- action keyboard and pedalboard, and usually concealed in a tower, has not received a comprehensive historical treatment since André Lehr’s The Art of the Carillon in the Low Countries (1991). A Dutch bellfounder and campanologist, Lehr contributed a positivist history that was far-ranging and thorough. In 1998, Alain Corbin’s important study Village Bells: Sound and Meaning in the Nineteenth-Century French Countryside (translated from the 1994 French original) approached the broader field of campanology as a history of the senses.1 Belgian carillonneur and musicologist Luc Rombouts has now compiled his extensive knowledge of carillon history in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the United States, as well as of less visible carillon cultures from Curaçao to Japan, into Singing Bronze: A History of Carillon Music, the most valuable scholarly account of the instrument to date. Rombouts’s original Dutch book, Zingend Brons (Leuven: Davidsfonds, 2010), is the more comprehensive version of the two, directed at a general readership in the Low Countries familiar with carillon music, and at carillonneurs and music scholars.

  • The Concept of “Sister Churches” in Catholic-Orthodox Relations Since
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Will T. Cohen Washington, D.C. 2010 The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II Will T. Cohen, Ph.D. Director: Paul McPartlan, D.Phil. Closely associated with Catholic-Orthodox rapprochement in the latter half of the 20 th century was the emergence of the expression “sister churches” used in various ways across the confessional division. Patriarch Athenagoras first employed it in this context in a letter in 1962 to Cardinal Bea of the Vatican Secretariat for the Promotion of Christian Unity, and soon it had become standard currency in the bilateral dialogue. Yet today the expression is rarely invoked by Catholic or Orthodox officials in their ecclesial communications. As the Polish Catholic theologian Waclaw Hryniewicz was led to say in 2002, “This term…has now fallen into disgrace.” This dissertation traces the rise and fall of the expression “sister churches” in modern Catholic-Orthodox relations and argues for its rehabilitation as a means by which both Catholic West and Orthodox East may avoid certain ecclesiological imbalances toward which each respectively tends in its separation from the other. Catholics who oppose saying that the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church are sisters, or that the church of Rome is one among several patriarchal sister churches, generally fear that if either of those things were true, the unicity of the Church would be compromised and the Roman primacy rendered ineffective.

  • Prayer in St Isaac of Nineveh
    Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev Prayer in St Isaac of Nineveh Paper delivered at the Conference on Prayer and Spirituality in the Early Church, Melbourne, Australia, August 1995. Based on Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev, The Spiritual World of Isaac the Syrian (Cistercian Publications, Kalamazoo, Michigan, 2000).* The theme of prayer is undoubtedly the most frequently discussed and most thoroughly developed theme in St Isaac of Nineveh, an East Syrian ascetical writer of the seventh century. When reading his works, one not only receives a clear idea about how he and other members of the Church of the East prayed in his times: one also gains a detailed picture of the theory and practice of prayer in the whole of the Eastern Christian tradition. In this paper we shall outline the most characteristic features of Isaac’s doctrine of prayer, in particular, his teachings on different outward aspects of prayer; on the prayer before the Cross; on reading; on night vigil; on the prayer for one’s neighbour, the Church and the world; and on the highest mystical stages of prayer. Outward aspects of prayer There is a widespread opinion that an interest in the external aspects of ascetical activity and the practice of prayer is not characteristic of the mystical writers: they allegedly concentrate only upon the inner fruits of this practice. Isaac of Nineveh is one of many writers who provide confirmation of how misleading this opinion is. We find in him many descriptions of outward forms of prayer on the basis of his own practice and that of the solitaries of his time.

This is a “pick up session,” now that we have completed the 14 other sessions of this series on The History of the Early Christian Church. Some may remember that we were giving our attention to the early Church Fathers when the interruption of the Covid19 virus descended upon us, and we found ourselves under stay at home policies.

We missed only one session between our live class 4-5th Century and our first on line class. Today, we pick up the session we missed. We had covered two sessions of the three session Unit 2. The first of these sessions was on The Apostolic Fathers. These were those who had either known our Lord or known those who did. Among those would have been the former disciples of Jesus or the early first generation apostles. These were the primary sources to whom the ministry of our Lord was “handed off.” Saint Paul was among them.

  • The Translations of Isaac of Beth Qa™Raye (Isaac the Syrian)
    ARAM, 11-12 (1999-2000), 475-484 S. BROCK 475 FROM QATAR TO TOKYO, BY WAY OF MAR SABA: THE TRANSLATIONS OF ISAAC OF BETH QA™RAYE (ISAAC THE SYRIAN) SEBASTIAN BROCK One might well wonder what a seventh-century Syriac monastic writer, usu- ally known as Isaac of Niniveh, or Isaac the Syrian, has to do with a confer- ence on Cultural Interchange in the East of the Arabian Peninsula, but one of the very few details that are known of Isaac's life is the fact that he originated from Beth Qa†raye, the region of the west coast of the Gulf. This information is provided, not only by our two prime sources on Isaac's biography, the East Syriac monastic history (ktaba d-nakputa) by Isho{dnaÌ, and the Syrian Ortho- dox biographical note published by Rahmani, but also by two thirteenth-cen- tury manuscripts of Isaac's works which describe him as “the holy Mar Isaac Qa†raya, bishop of the town of Niniveh”.1 It is often forgotten that the west side of the Gulf was an important centre of Syriac Christianity in the seventh century, and Beth Qa†raye was the place of origin of a number of important Syriac writers of that time.2 By far the most famous of these is Isaac of Niniveh. The one chronological peg to which Isaac's life can be attached is the state- ment, in the Syrian Orthodox biographical note, that “when the Catholicos Mar Giwargis came to the region (sc. of Beth Qa†raye), he took him (sc.
