We tend to think that tradition is the hunting estate of the Roman Catholic Church. However, Benjamin B. Warfield Treminded us that outside the Reformed faith, with its coherent doctrine of revelation and inspiration, we fall into the snares of either mysticism or ra- tionalism. We still face both today. The tradition of the Roman Church tends towards mysticism, saints, and the numinously miraculous, while the tradition of Enlightenment humanism is all around us in rationalism in its postmodern forms, self-evident scientific truths, and politically correct liberalism with its dogmas of tolerance and social constructionism. But as Warfield remarked, not without a touch of humor, The Mystic blows hot, the Rationalist blows cold. Warm up a Rationalist and you inevitably get a Mystic; chill down a Mystic and you find yourselves with a Rational- ist on your hands. The history of thought illustrates repeatedly the easy passage from one to the other.1 One remarkable example of this passage in the twentieth century is found in the works of the journalist Malcolm Muggeridge, who described his pil- grimage from socialism

  • Chinese Catholic Nuns and the Organization of Religious Life in Contemporary China
    religions Article Chinese Catholic Nuns and the Organization of Religious Life in Contemporary China Michel Chambon Anthropology Department, Hanover College, Hanover, IN 47243, USA; [email protected] Received: 25 June 2019; Accepted: 19 July 2019; Published: 23 July 2019 Abstract: This article explores the evolution of female religious life within the Catholic Church in China today. Through ethnographic observation, it establishes a spectrum of practices between two main traditions, namely the antique beatas and the modern missionary congregations. The article argues that Chinese nuns create forms of religious life that are quite distinct from more universal Catholic standards: their congregations are always diocesan and involved in multiple forms of apostolate. Despite the little attention they receive, Chinese nuns demonstrate how Chinese Catholics are creative in their appropriation of Christian traditions and their response to social and economic changes. Keywords: christianity in China; catholicism; religious life; gender studies Surveys from 2015 suggest that in the People’s Republic of China, there are 3170 Catholic religious women who belong to 87 registered religious congregations, while 1400 women belong to 37 unregistered ones.1 Thus, there are approximately 4570 Catholics nuns in China, for a general Catholic population that fluctuates between eight to ten million. However, little is known about these women and their forms of religious life, the challenges of their lifestyle, and their current difficulties. Who are those women? How does their religious life manifest and evolve within a rapidly changing Chinese society? What do they tell us about the Catholic Church in China? This paper explores the various forms of religious life in Catholic China to understand how Chinese women appropriate and translate Catholic religious ideals.

  • The National Economy and the Religious Personality (1909) Sergey N
    Journal of Markets & Morality Volume 11, Number 1 (Spring 2008): 157–179 Copyright © 2008 The National Economy and the Religious Personality (1909) Sergey N. Bulgakov In Memoriam to Ivan Feodorovich Tokmakov1 The political economy of our times belongs to sciences that do not remember their own spiritual kinship. Its origins are lost in the quicksand of philosophy of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment. At its cradle stand, on one side, the representatives of the Natural Law doctrine with their belief in the inviolability of human nature and pre-established natural harmony, and, on the other side, preachers of utilitarianism—J. Bentham and his disciples who proceed from the notion of society as a summation of disconnected atoms, mutually jostling representatives of different interests. The society is viewed here as the mechan- ics of these interests, the social philosophy is transformed into the “political arithmetic” of which Bentham dreamt. The political economy assimilated from him is the abstract, one-sided, simplified notion of man, a notion that still reigns in political economy. In this, among other ways, the prerequisite of the classic political economy was formed—the notion of “economic man,” who does not eat and sleep but always calculates interests, seeking the greatest benefit at lowest costs; a slide rule that reacts with mathematical accuracy to the outer 1 Tr. note: Ivan F. Tokmakov (1856–1908), writer and archeologist, worked as archivist at the Emperor’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Main Archive. He wrote two main his- torical works dedicated to the history of book trading and the coronation of Russia’s emperors as a sacred ceremony, and was also famous for his empirical and statistical history reviews of different towns, villages, and monasteries.

  • Open Interactivity: a Model for Audience Agency
    IAFOR Journal of Cultural Studies Volume 3 – Issue 1 – Spring 2018 Open Interactivity: A Model for Audience Agency Charlotte Gould School of Art, University of Brighton, UK Abstract: Artists have increasingly acknowledged the role of the audience as collaborators both in the construction of meaning (Bathes, 1977), through subjective experience (Dewey, 1934) and in contributing to the creative act by externalising the work. (Duchamp) Lucy Lippard identifies 1966–72 as a period where artists turned increasingly towards the audience, representing a “dematerialization of the art object” (Lippard, 1997) through “Happenings” and “Fluxus” movements. Digital media has facilitated this trajectory, implicit in the interactive computer interface (Manovich, 2005), but interactivity per se may offer no more than a series of choices put forward by the artist (Daniels, 2011). Interactivity represents interplay between artist and audience (Dinka, 1996) and is potentially a process of audience empowerment to offer agency, defined as real and creative choice (Browning, 1964). Public screen installation “Peoples Screen” Guangzhou, linking China to Perth Australia (Sermon & Gould, 2015) offered a partnership between artist and audience to co-create content though playful narratives and active engagement in a drama that unfolds using improvisation and play. Initially visitors enjoy observing the self on the screen but audiences quickly start to interact with the environment and other participants. Immersed in play they lose a sense of the self (Callois, 2011) and enter a virtual third space where possibilities for creativity and direction of play are limitless. The self becomes an avatar where the audience can inhabit “the other” thereby exploring alternative realities through ludic play, promoting tolerance and empathy and developing collective memory.

  • The Protestant Reformation and Aristocratic Control of Bamberg
    CHAPTER TWO THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION AND ARISTOCRATIC CONTROL OF BAMBERG Although many Franconian imperial knights were sympathetic to the Protestant Reformation, those living in and around Bamberg did not withdraw their support from the Imperial Church. In the Prince- Bishopric of Bamberg, the dominance of family over religious calling or spiritual behavior in the selection of important church offi cers refl ected the fact of noble control. By the end of the fourteenth century, an elite from the lower nobility had begun to assume power in the prince-bishopric. Th e development of imperial knighthood made local aristocratic control over Bamberg airtight. Th e canons of the cathedral chapter, the prince-bishop, and the highest secular offi cials in the bureaucracy came from imperial knightly families. Bamberg’s nobles dominated the ecclesiastical principality, excluding especially the progeny of powerful princes, so that only members from imperial knightly families received important church offi ces in the cathedral chapter or were elected to the offi ce of prince-bishop. In fact, the domi- nance of family over religious calling was so powerful in the sixteenth century that many of the prince-bishops elected from imperial knightly families were not even priests at election.1 Th reats to the Imperial Church jeopardized this way of life for the imperial knights with close connections to ecclesiastical principalities. Th e dangers posed by the Protestant Reformation were all too apparent in the Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg. By the 1530s, Bamberg was surrounded by Protestant neighbors who had seized about half of the parishes from the Diocese of Bamberg.
