It is powerful stuff; I encourage you to read it all for Balak was king of Moab. He’d seen what the Israelites yourselves. had done to the Amorites and dreaded facing them. He What is also powerful is Micah’s final verse (6:8) sent messengers to Balaam, asking him to come and curse the Israelites. It took three entreaties before God He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what told Balaam to go with them, but to speak only God’s does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and words.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • A Cloud of Witnesses in the Orthodox West
    A Cloud of Witnesses in the Orthodox West An Introduction to the Saints of the Orthodox Church in the West The Very Rev’d Nicholas R. Alford St. Gregory Orthodox Church Washington, DC Towards the end of the Sermon on the Mount, while warning of false prophets to come, our Lord says “You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.” Ultimately the answer to the question of whether the Western Rite is Orthodox or not is answered by how if affects the lives of the men, women and children who live out their relationship with God in this manner. Does the Western Rite, like the Eastern Rite, lead people to become holy, to grow in their relationship with God? Is the Western Rite an expression of authentic Christianity that encourages people to become more like Christ? In answer to these questions we should look at the lives of some of the “cloud of witnesses” as the holy ones are called in the Epistle to the Hebrews. By their fruit you will know them. As we look at the expansion of Christianity into the West, we must start with what is now Italy. Rome, of course, was the capitol of the empire and was generally considered to 1 be the center of the world at the time. Jews had been living in Rome for nearly two hundred years before the birth of Christ. We know this because the Praetor Gnaeus Cornelius Hispanus tried to compel them to return to their homeland in 139BC.

  • The Search for San Ffraid
    The Search for San Ffraid ‘A thesis submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in the fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts’ 2012 Jeanne Mehan 1 Abstract The Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, called in Ireland and Scotland St Brigid (also called Bride, Ffraid, Bhríde, Bridget, and Birgitta) have not previously been documented. This Irish saint is said to have traveled to Wales, but the Welsh evidence comprises a single fifteenth-century Welsh poem by Iorwerth Fynglwyd; numerous geographical dedications, including nearly two dozen churches; and references in the arts, literature, and histories. This dissertation for the first time gathers together in one place the Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, integrating the separate pieces to reveal a more focused image of a saint of obvious importance in Wales. As part of this discussion, the dissertation addresses questions about the relationship, if any, of San Ffraid, St Brigid of Kildare, and St Birgitta of Sweden; the likelihood of one San Ffraid in the south and another in the north; and the inclusion of the goddess Brigid in the portrait of San Ffraid. 2 Contents ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ 2 CONTENTS........................................................................................................................ 3 FIGURES ...........................................................................................................................

  • Hope Faith Love
    As you know, the four-leaf clover has become a common symbol of St. Patrick’s Day. Because four-leaf clovers are so rare — you have about a 1-in-5000 chance of finding one1 — they’re often associated with luck. But in truth, each leaf represents something special: luck, yes, but also hope, faith, and love. The reason we mention this is because, over the years, we’ve learned that the history of St. Patrick’s Day represents each of these attributes, too. Now, that might seem pretty deep for a day where we all pinch each other for not wearing green. But it’s true! To illustrate how, let’s take each clover leaf one at a time, starting with… Hope Did you know that, in an alternate universe, we might all be wearing blue on St. Patrick’s Day? While “kelly green” is the most popular symbol associated with the day, it didn’t used to be that way. Saint Patrick himself is thought to have worn blue for much of his life, and the Order of St. Patrick, a fraternity of knights founded in the 17th century, adopted the color, too. So why the color green? Because green was the color of those who sought Irish independence. Beginning in that same century, more and more Irish people began hoping that one day, they would have their own country, free of dominion under a foreign crown. These patriots increasingly wore green as a symbol of Irish identity and culture. It would take centuries for independence to happen, but generation upon generation passed down the secret hope that one day, Ireland would be counted among the free nations of the world.

  • Practicing Love of God in Medieval Jerusalem, Gaul and Saxony
    he collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of TChristian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, reli- gious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the histori- an Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-University Göttingen.
