  • Nestorianism 1 Nestorianism
    Nestorianism 1 Nestorianism For the church sometimes known as the Nestorian Church, see Church of the East. "Nestorian" redirects here. For other uses, see Nestorian (disambiguation). Nestorianism is a Christological doctrine advanced by Nestorius, Patriarch of Constantinople from 428–431. The doctrine, which was informed by Nestorius' studies under Theodore of Mopsuestia at the School of Antioch, emphasizes the disunion between the human and divine natures of Jesus. Nestorius' teachings brought him into conflict with some other prominent church leaders, most notably Cyril of Alexandria, who criticized especially his rejection of the title Theotokos ("Bringer forth of God") for the Virgin Mary. Nestorius and his teachings were eventually condemned as heretical at the First Council of Ephesus in 431 and the Council of Chalcedon in 451, leading to the Nestorian Schism in which churches supporting Nestorius broke with the rest of the Christian Church. Afterward many of Nestorius' supporters relocated to Sassanid Persia, where they affiliated with the local Christian community, known as the Church of the East. Over the next decades the Church of the East became increasingly Nestorian in doctrine, leading it to be known alternately as the Nestorian Church. Nestorianism is a form of dyophysitism, and can be seen as the antithesis to monophysitism, which emerged in reaction to Nestorianism. Where Nestorianism holds that Christ had two loosely-united natures, divine and human, monophysitism holds that he had but a single nature, his human nature being absorbed into his divinity. A brief definition of Nestorian Christology can be given as: "Jesus Christ, who is not identical with the Son but personally united with the Son, who lives in him, is one hypostasis and one nature: human."[1] Both Nestorianism and monophysitism were condemned as heretical at the Council of Chalcedon.

  • SYNOPSIS REPORT the Workshop Musiqi Suryayto Was Convened In
    EU Grundtvig Workshop MUSIQI SURYAYTO (Rijssen, 3-7 July 2013) SYNOPSIS REPORT The workshop Musiqi Suryayto was convened in Rijssen, the Netherlands, July 3-7 2013. The Inanna Foundation organized this workshop whose aim was to bring scholars, musicians and learners together to work on the development of the contemporary Assyrian/Syriac music. As the first gathering of its kind, the principal purposes of this historically unique workshop was to discuss the main problems and challenges facing contemporary Musiqi Suryayto, to provide a learning platform for people interested in the innovation of Musiqi Suryayto and to improve the quality of the music produced by Assyrian/Syriac musicians in Europe. Twenty-nine participants from various European countries, the United States, Iraq and Lebanon either gave presentations or simply attended the workshop. The participation of 20 participants from Europe was financed by the EU Grundtvig Lifelong Learning Programme. Aware of the historical significance of this gathering, the workshop organizers (the Inanna Foundation) endeavored to attract all the key figures in the field of Assyrian/Syriac music. Unfortunately, for various reasons not all could attend . The participation of two non-European guests was partly sponsored by the generous contributions from the Assyrischer Jugendverband Mitteleuropa (AJM) and some other people who attended to the workshop. We would like to thank all contributors for their support. The workshop programme was structured to cover all the different aspects of the Assyrian/Syriac music. On the first day, Dr Naures Atto and Soner Onder welcomed the participants, introduced the agenda and opened the workshop. In their opening speech, they elaborated on the historical importance of this gathering and raised some core questions to which the workshop should pay particular attention.

  • CONDEMNATION of COMMUNISM in PONTIFICAL MAGISTERIUM Since Pius IX Till Paul VI
    CONDEMNATION OF COMMUNISM IN PONTIFICAL MAGISTERIUM since Pius IX till Paul VI Petru CIOBANU Abstract: The present article, based on several magisterial documents, illus- trates the approach of Roman Pontiffs, beginning with Pius IX and ending with Paul VI, with regard to what used to be called „red plague”, i.e. communism. The article analyses one by one various encyclical letters, apostolic letters, speeches and radio messages in which Roman Pontiffs condemned socialist theories, either explicitly or implicitly. Keywords: Magisterium, Pope, communism, socialism, marxism, Christianity, encyclical letter, apostolic letter, collectivism, atheism, materialism. Introduction And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ (Rev 12,3-4.13.17). These words, written over 2.000 years ago, didn’t lose their value along time, since then and till now, reflecting the destiny of Christian Church and Christians – „those who guard the God words and have the Jesus tes- timony” – in the world, where appear so many „dragons” that have the aim to persecute Jesus Christ followers.

  • IPAC Q&A: Backbench Business Debate on Uyghur Genocide
    Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China Q&A: Backbench Business debate on Uyghur Genocide Motion “That this House believes that Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region are suffering Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide.” And calls upon the Government to act to fulfil their obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide and all relevant instruments of international law to bring it to an end. (Nusrat Ghani MP) Details Thursday 22nd April 2021, Chamber Context The publishing of two independent legal analyses has added to mounting evidence suggesting that the gross human rights abuses being perpetrated against the Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China (XUAR) constitute Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity. What is the evidence that a Genocide is taking place against Uyghurs? Two major independent analyses have investigated reports of alleged genocide in the Xinjiang region: ● A formal legal opinion published by Essex Court Chambers in London, which concludes that there is a “very credible case” that the Chinese government is carrying out the crime of Genocide against the Uyghur people. ● A report from the Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy, conducted by over 30 independent global experts, which finds that the Chinese state is in breach of every act prohibited in Article II of the Genocide Convention. Both reports conclude there is sufficient evidence that the prohibited acts specified within the Genocide Convention and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court have been breached with respect to the Uyghurs, namely: 1.
