  • Missional Insufflation John 20:19-23, 30-31
    John 20:19-23, 30-31 1 Missional Insufflation John 20:19-23, 30-31 Rev. Stephen H. Wilkins Graves Memorial Presbyterian Church April 19, 2020 So, what do we do with the message of Easter? Easter has come and gone, as it does every year. Granted, it was strangely different this year, as we weren’t able to gather together physically to mark the anniversary of the resurrection of our Lord. But the basic pattern on our calendar wasn’t any different from years past. We went through Lent, with a slow, deliberate 40-day journey toward the cross; at the end of Lent we experienced the fast-paced intense spiritual roller coaster ride through Holy Week with Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday. Every year there’s this build-up to Easter, culminating in the glorious proclamation of the victory of Jesus Christ over sin and death, and the eternal implications that his resurrection has for us. But now, what? What do we do with the Easter message? Jesus is risen from the dead. Now, what? Don’t you get the sense that there’s some unfinished business that needs our attention? If you read through all four gospels, you will notice that none of them ends at the empty tomb. Every gospel (even the traditional short ending of the Gospel According to Mark) has some aspect of sending forth of those first witnesses to the resurrection, to proclaim what they had seen. All four gospels remind us that the resurrection of Jesus is not just good news for us to experience; indeed, with the privilege of witnessing and embracing the resurrection comes the responsibility of passing on the Good News to the rest of the world.

Dissertations (2009 -). Paper 277. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/277 CIRCUMCISION OF THE SPIRIT IN THE SOTERIOLOGY OF CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA by Jonathan S. Morgan, B.S., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2013 ABSTRACT CIRCUMCISION OF THE SPIRIT IN THE SOTERIOLOGY OF CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA Jonathan S. Morgan, B.S., M.A. Marquette University, 2013 In this dissertation I argue that Cyril of Alexandria’s interpretation of “spiritual circumcision” provides invaluable insight into his complex doctrine of salvation. Spiritual Circumcision – or Circumcision by the Spirit -- is a recurring theme throughout his extensive body of exegetical literature, which was written before the Nestorian controversy (428). When Cyril considers the meaning and scope of circumcision, he recognizes it as a type that can describe a range of salvific effects. For him, circumcision functions as a unifying concept that ties together various aspects of salvation such as purification, sanctification, participation, and freedom. Soteriology, however, can only be understood in relation to other doctrines. Thus, Cyril’s discussions of circumcision often include correlative areas of theology such as hamartiology and Trinitarian thought. In this way, Cyril’s discussions on circumcision convey what we are saved from, as well as the Trinitarian agency of our salvation.

    THE WAY TO PARADISE Saint Ann Maronite Church Scranton, PA INFORMATION BOOKLET Price and Sumner Avenue Scranton, PA 18504 (570) 344-2129 Page 1 of 27 THE FAITH AND LIFE OF THE CHURCH ARE EMBODIED IN HISTORY HANDED ON BY TEACHING EXPRESSED THROUGH LITURGY AND MEMORIALIZED IN ARCHITECTURE Msgr. Ronald N. Beshara Page 2 of 27 OUR PAST ... Maronite history has its origins in Antioch where the early Christians received their faith from Saint Peter after he fled persecutions in Jerusalem. According to Acts 11:26 the followers of Christ were called Christians for the first time in Antioch. The seat of the Church remained there for 7 years before being transferred to Rome. Prior to 741 there were 7 Syro-Catholic Popes, 5 of them were Syro-Maronites. Antioch was a Hellenistic city while Edessa to the Northeast maintained a Syriac-Aramaic culture followed by the Christians who later were to be called Maronite. Their tradition followed the language, theology and liturgy of Christ and His Apostles thus reflecting their mentality. After divisions and persecutions the Christians gradually migrated to the safety of the mountains in Lebanon. Thus the liturgical roots of the Maronite Church can be traced to Antioch and Edessa. In the 4th century Saint Maron, a friend of Saint John Chrysostom, fought the heresies that beset the Catholic Church at that time, particularly Arianism, Monophysitism and Nestorianism. His monastery became the principal center of pastoral and spiritual care for the area. The monks and followers, then called Maronites, were continually called upon and willing to sacrifice their lives for their religious convictions.

Saint Maron was a priest and a hermit; he lived in the fourth century in the mountain area of Antioch, which was one of the five major sees of early Christianity. Even though he sought a solitary ascetic life, his light of holiness could not be hidden, but it shone in that region and attracted to him a lot of people. After his death, those who embraced Christianity through his preaching and his example, and later through his disciples, became known as “Beit Maroun” / the “House of Maron” or Maronites; but they did not become a distinct Church until the year 685 AD when Saint John Maron was elected as the first Patriarch of Antioch for the Maronites. The identity of the Maronite Church is described by five distinguishing marks: -Maronites are Antiochene -where Christ’s followers were called Christians for the first time- (Acts 11:26) . -Maronites are heirs of Syriac cultural and religious heritage. -Maronites are Chalcedonian, meaning they were staunch supporters of the Council of Chalcedon, convened in 451 A.D., which taught that Jesus was true God and true man. -The Maronite Church is a Patriarchal and Monastic Church.

  • The Ascension of Jesus and the Descent of the Holy Spirit in Patristic Perspective: a Theological Reading Keuy M
    EQ 79.1 (2007),23-33 The ascension of Jesus and the descent of the Holy Spirit in patristic perspective: a theological reading KeUy M. Kapic and Wesley Vander Lugt Kelly Kapic is Associate Professor of Theological Studies at Covenant College, Lookout Mountain, GA, and Wesley Vander Lugt is an MDiv. student in the same college. KEY WORDS: Ascension, Pentecost, Christology, Pneumatology, Patristics, Trinity. A woman we know recently recalled a powerful memory from her childhood in the early nineteen seventies. Her parents visited a large church in southern California to see an Easter play, and near the end of the drama this little girl witnessed, with a mixture of fear and delight, how Jesus, who was hooked up to a thinly disguised wire, was pulled up into the ceiling. What was all of this about? Why did Jesus go, and how could that possibly be a good thing? Such questions, however, are not reserved to children growing up in the Jesus move­ ment. Since the New Testament clearly testifies to the ascension of Jesus, theo­ logians throughout the ages have struggled to grasp its significance for those left behind. Scripture is replete with the antithesis of descent and ascent, and these bibli­ cal motifs have been indispensable hermeneutical devices throughout the his­ tory ofthe Christian Church. Following the lead of some early Church Fathers we will attempt to show how they employed the descent-ascent motif as a guiding framework for an exploration of the relationship between the ascension of Jesus and the sending (descent) of the Holy Spirit.

  • Maronite Voice a Publication of the Maronite Eparchies in the USA
    The Maronite Voice A Publication of the Maronite Eparchies in the USA Volume XI Issue No. IV April 2015 The Challenges of the Holy Year of Mercy ope Francis has done it again. Just when we thought we could become comfortable with the way we lived our Christian life, he throws another curve ball1. First, he called us to be more mindful of the poor, the Prefugee, the imprisoned, and the needy. Now, we are asked to be more Christ-like, more simple, poor, and compassionate. Yes, we are in trouble. Just when we thought we were already all those things, now we are asked to go even further. This coming December, Pope Francis is prepared to announce a special holy year, a time of grace in which the faithful are asked to dedicate some time and effort towards the mentioned theme of the year. Why did he have to choose "mercy?" I, personally, was just getting used to being just and fair to all people, now I am asked to go far beyond this to be merciful? All of us are in trouble. It can no longer be "business as usual." In the upcoming Holy Year everything changes. Perhaps this is just what the world, or should I say, what all of us need: a dose in our lives of a little more mercy. Thank you, Pope Francis for making us a little more uncomfortable and a little more like Christ Himself. + Gregory J. Mansour Bishop of the Eparchy of Saint Maron 1.) On March 13, 2015, His Holiness Pope Francis announced a Jubilee Year of Mercy starting on December 8, 2015, Feast of the Immaculate Conception, and concluding on November 20, 2016, Feast of Christ the King.
