God is much more than what we can say about him! Still, the Nicene Creed provides an indispensable starting point and guide for understanding the true What Do We Believe? and living God as he has revealed himself to us. A Commentary on the Nicene Creed Part 1 of 10 We recite the Nicene Creed each week at Mass, but how often do we reflect on what we are saying, or even understand it? Over the course of a year, I am offering some thoughts and explanations on this important Christian text, piece by piece. SEARCH COMMITTEE UPDATE Faithfully, Fr. Kemp+ The search committee at St. Paul’s is the group in charge of receiving and interviewing candidates for a new rector to succeed Fr. Heschlē. It has been busy “I believe…” with several tasks. What does it mean to believe (in) something? We use the word in a surprising The 11-member committee, chaired by Dave Roeder and Jenny Glick, has number of ways, from “I believe it will rain,” to “Believe in yourself!” But surely drafted and circulated a survey of parishioners about their backgrounds and we are not always using this phrase to mean the same thing. priorities for a new rector. The answers are being compiled and will form part of our Parish Profile, a description of ourselves and our community that will tell The word “creed” comes from the Latin credo, literally, “I believe.” In the Nicene interested candidates about us. We hope to have our Parish Profile complete by Creed we express our belief or faith in God as he has revealed himself in Christ, early August so our church’s vacancy can be officially posted by our diocese. We by the power of the Holy Spirit. This means a couple of things. On the one then start collecting applications! hand, we are claiming that we hold certain statements or articles as true (we will unpack these specifically in future parts). This means that we hold the statements By the rules of the Episcopal Church, the congregation has a substantial say in made in the Creed to be true, to express reality, not just our imagination or the choice of a rector. Through the survey and small-group discussions held desires. On the other hand, we are claiming belief or faith in this reality. In other during coffee hour in July, you have given your views to the search committee, words, we are trusting our lives and our existence to the God that the Creed which hopes to recommend one candidate to the vestry. It’s the vestry’s job to describes. either endorse that candidate to the Bishop of Chicago or ask the committee to make another choice. The Bishop then accepts or rejects the vestry’s candidate. You probably cannot see this at Mass, but during the Creed the priest stands with his hands held apart, in what is known as the orans (praying) position. It is Thank you for the guidance you have given our committee. If you have any the same posture the priest takes during the Gloria, the Prayers of the People, questions about the process, please ask any committee member. They can be and the Canon of the Mass. What this tells us is that the Creed, this expression spotted by their name tags at church. We don’t do this often; St. Paul’s has had of belief, is also an act of prayer and worship. We are, in other words, submitting only four rectors in the last 92 years! So we want to get this right. Please keep our minds and our wills to the reality of God as he has revealed himself—which your committee and St. Paul’s in your prayers as we build on our history of the Creed expresses in a series of propositional truths. mission and worship in Rogers Park. When we recite the Creed, we say, “I believe,” but this does not mean that it is just my personal religious opinion. Rather, by saying “I believe” together, we are professing that this is the Church’s faith that has been passed down through the generations. Yet in saying “I believe,” each of us also claims the Church’s faith as our own.

PARISH NOTES OF INTEREST Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Sung Mass vs. Solemn Mass: What and Why? (Transferred) You may have noticed that the 10:30 Mass has been “dressed down” a bit since Sunday, August 18 Fr. Heschlē’s retirement. This is because we have been celebrating it as a Sung Masses at 8:00 & 10:30 am Mass rather than a Solemn Mass. So what is the difference, and why the change? A Solemn Mass is the “highest” form of celebrating the Eucharistic liturgy. Blessing of the Backpacks There is more chanting, more incense, and more pomp and ceremony. A key Sunday, September 1 characteristic is that there are three “sacred ministers,” i.e. the Celebrant (priest), All children and youth are invited to bring their backpacks for a special a Deacon, and a Subdeacon. Centuries ago (and still today in the Eastern blessing during Mass. Orthodox tradition), a Subdeacon was a “minor order” in the church (distinct from the “major orders” of Bishop, Priest, and Deacon); today that role can be filled by a lay person, but it still requires some training and practice. Church School Registration Sunday, September 8 A Sung Mass has less ceremony than a Solemn Mass, but still uses music, Registration forms are available in the narthex. A hot dog “picnic” at 10:30 incense, and a full array of altar servers. The “sung” part, by the way, refers to am coffee hour kicks of our Church School year. portions of the Mass itself (e.g. Kyrie, Gloria, Preface and Sanctus, etc.), not the hymns that are inserted throughout. Church School Begins Historically, the norm at St. Paul’s was to do a Sung Mass at 10:30 most Sundays, and to celebrate major feasts with a Solemn Mass. During the past couple of Sunday, September 15 years, we have been blessed with the presence of seminarians and additional 11:30 am in the atrium clergy to fill the roles of Deacon and Subdeacon, and this has allowed us to make th All children ages 4 - 8 grade are welcome. High Schoolers may teach or Solemn Mass the norm each Sunday. At present, however, we are stretched a bit assist. This year’s theme will be the life and teachings of the Apostle Paul. thin on clergy and laity trained as Subdeacons, and this makes it difficult to commit to Solemn Mass every week. For this reason, we will return to our earlier practice of having Sung Mass most Sundays. We still plan to celebrate Solemn Mass on major feasts and special occasions.

    12th Sunday After Pentecost Martyrs Florus and Laurus 18 / 31 August 2014 Resurrection Tropar, Tone 3: Let the heavens rejoice / let the earth be glad / for the Lord has shown strength with His arm! / He has trampled down death by death! / He has become the first-born of the dead! He has delivered us from the depths of hell / and has granted the world great mercy. Troparion of the Feast tone 1: In giving birth thou didst keep thy virginity,/ and in thy dormition thou didst not forsake the world, O Mother of God./ Thou didst pass on to life, since thou art the Mother of Life,/ and by thine intercessions thou redeemest our souls from death. Troparion of the Martyrs tone 5: You were practised in the ways of godliness/ and gladly ran your course of martyrdom,/ and as illustrious kinsman you were glorified by Christ./ O Florus and Laurus/ we praise you as noble athletes/ and we cry to you: O Saints,/ deliver us from all necessities. Resurrection Kondak, Tone 3: On this day thou didst rise from the tomb, O Merciful One, / leading us from the gates of death / On this day Adam exults as Eve rejoices. / With the prophets and the patriarchs they unceasingly praise the divine majesty of Thy power. Kontakion of the Feast tone 2: The grave and death could not hold the Mother of God,/ who is sleepless in her intercessions and an unchanging hope in her mediations./ For as the Mother of Life she was transferred to life/ by Him Who dwelt in her ever-virgin womb.

  • A Spiritual Father for the Whole Church: the Universal Appeal of St
    Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies, Vol. 1.2, 197–220 © 1998 [2010] by Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute and Gorgias Press A SPIRITUAL FATHER FOR THE WHOLE CHURCH: THE UNIVERSAL APPEAL OF ST. EPHRAEM THE SYRIAN SIDNEY H. GRIFFITH INSTITUTE OF CHRISTIAN ORIENTAL RESEARCH THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA I [1] In an encyclical letter issued on 5 October 1920, Pope Benedict XV proclaimed St. Ephraem the Syrian a Doctor of the Universal Church.1 This accolade may be seen as in some ways the culmination in Rome of a new fame in the twentieth century for Syria’s ‘Harp of the Holy Spirit,’ already widely acclaimed in east and west in medieval times. It was due to efforts exerted already for some two centuries by a number of scholars in the west to bring out modern editions of Ephraem’s works. One thinks initially of the publication in the eighteenth century of the six-volume Roman edition of the works attributed to Ephraem in Greek, Syriac, and Latin.2 While the Greek and Latin texts had long been known in the west, the publication of Ephraem’s works in Syriac, 1 See Benedict XV, “Principi Apostolorum Petro,” Acta Apostolicae Sedis 12 (1920), pp. 457–453. 2 See J.S. Assemani (ed.), Sancti Patris Nostri Ephraem Syri Opera Omnia quae exstant Graece, Syriace, Latine, 6 vols. (Rome, 1732–46). 197 198 Sidney H. Griffith the only language in which he is known to have written, brought the first glimpse of the poet’s true genius to western Christians. The Syriac works, with Latin translations, were included in volumes IV to VI of the Editio Romana.

When something is broken, we want it fixed. If a part of our body is not working properly, we want it healed. How often do we find ourselves saying, “I’m tired of struggling with this cold, I can’t wait for my surgery to heal, or I want my treatments to make me better.” Wholeness and healing restore our relationships and make us free to love as we desire. We know very well how our limitations, imperfections, and brokenness really limit us. They can easily prevent us from being and doing what we want to do. Our physical and emotional wounds and maladies are easier to identify. If my back hurts, I feel it and know what part of my body needs attention. If I am feeling intense anger, I can identify the emotion and take necessary steps to uncover its cause. Being persistent often brings greater and quicker results. But will pursuing and even achieving our physical and emotional healings really be enough? We forget that there is a deeper healing that we seek and desperately need. As we look around at humanity, there are some physical and emotional wounds and scars that cannot be made whole.

    10th Sunday After Pentecost The Dormition of our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary 15 / 28 August 2016 Resurrection Tropar, Tone 1: When the stone had been sealed by the Jews; / while the soldiers were guarding Thy Most Pure Body; / Thou didst rise on the third day, O Saviour, / granting life to the world. / The Powers of Heaven therefore cried to Thee O Giver of Life: / glory to Thy Resurrection O Christ! / Glory to Thy Kingdom; / Glory to Thy Dispensation, O Thou who lovest mankind. Troparion tone 1: In giving birth thou didst keep thy virginity,/ and in thy dormition thou didst not forsake the world, O Mother of God./ Thou didst pass on to life, since thou art the Mother of Life,/ and by thine intercessions thou redeemest our souls from death. Resurrection Kondak, Tone 1: As God, Thou didst rise from the tomb in glory, / Raising the world with Thyself. / Human nature praises Thee as God, for death has vanished. / Adam exults O Master, Eve rejoices, for she is freed from bondage, and cries to Thee; / Thou art the Giver of Resurrection to all, O Christ. Kontakion tone 2: The grave and death could not hold the Mother of God,/ who is sleepless in her intercessions and an unchanging hope in her mediations./ For as the Mother of Life she was transferred to life/ by Him Who dwelt in her ever- virgin womb. Vespers: Gen. 28:10-17; Ezek. 43:27-44:4; Prov. 9:1-11 Matins: Luke 1:39-49, 56 Epistle: I Corinthians 4: 9-16 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

Tuminskaya State Russian Museum, 4, Inzhenernaya str., St. Petersburg, 191186, Russian Federation For citation: Tuminskaya, Olga. “Russian Foolishness and Images of Fools in the Museum of Icons in Recklinghausen”. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. Arts 10, no. 1 (2020): 177–188. https://doi.org/10.21638/spbu15.2020.109 Images of ascetics, which to a certain extent derive associations with Byzantine asceticism, can be found in Western European icons and murals. These are images of Fools-for-Christ. Images of persons clad in short-skirted garments, occasionally with symbols of their specific activities, such aspublic executioners, grave-diggers, and “the halt and the blind” are rare, although not unique. The similarity of garments and extraordinary symbols correlates with icons depicting “secular Fools-of-God,” although carrying a wider emotional and semantic load. The surviving images of “odd-looking” characters in Western European sacred art of the 12–17th centuries can be included in an individual established category known as “Kehricht der Welt” and presented as an outstanding phenomenon within the icon-painting repertoire of Christian artistic heritage. The article is devoted to the study of the image of Procopius and John of Ustiug Fool-for-Christ, who is one ofthe most popular old Russian saints, as well as the image of Saint Christopher Cynocephalus- the most famous Byzantine saint. Information about these blessed ones came to Russia as a result of the spread of literacy.
