Warren Smith An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2011 Copyright by Natalie Carnes 2011 Abstract Against the dominant contemporary options of usefulness and disinterestedness, this dissertation attempts to display that beauty is better—more fully, richly, generatively—described with the categories of fittingness and gratuity. By working through texts by Gregory of Nyssa, this dissertation fills out what fittingness and gratuity entail—what, that is, they do for beauty-seekers and beauty-talkers. After the historical set-up of the first chapter, chapter 2 considers fittingness and gratuity through Gregory’s doctrine of God because Beauty, for Gregory, is a name for God. That God is radically transcendent transforms (radicalizes) fittingness and gratuity away from a strictly Platonic vision of how they might function. Chapter 3 extends such radicalization by considering beauty in light of Christology and particularly in light of the Christological claims to invisibility, poverty, and suffering.

  • Owen Harris Hellenes and Arabs at Home and Abroad Greek
    Hellenes and Arabs at Home and Abroad: Greek Orthodox Christians from Aleppo in Athens Owen Harris A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Studies University of Washington 2021 Committee: Kathie Friedman Mary Kay Gugerty Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies ©Copyright 2021 Owen Harris University of Washington Abstract Hellenes and Arabs at Home and Abroad: Greek Orthodox Christians from Aleppo in Athens Owen Harris Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Kathie Friedman Jackson School of International Studies Abstract: In this thesis, I show how communities living together in relative equality in Aleppo, Syria, and fleeing the same conflict, experienced very different outcomes depending on which religious community they belonged to. Members of the Greek Orthodox Christian community from Aleppo who have moved to Athens reported that their new home is exactly the same as the community they left behind. Members of the Muslim community from Aleppo in Athens did not agree with this statement. Why do Greek Orthodox Christians fare so much better than their Muslim compatriots in Greece? I argue that this inequality is a result of opportunities and challenges created by policies instituted during the great unmixing of peoples in the early 20th century and the refugee crisis in the early 21st century. Greek Orthodox Christians are equal citizens in a secular Arab republic that values ecumenism and members of the Greek diaspora in a Hellenic republic that privileges Greek ethno-religious belonging. They are Arab Hellenes, equally Greek and Syrian. Drawing on data collected in interviews with members of the Greek Orthodox Syrian community in Greece, as well as Syrians of different faiths in other countries, I examine what went right for Greek Orthodox Syrians in Athens and suggest policy tools that government and civil society can use to create similar conditions for Muslim Syrians in Greece.

  • FABRICATING FIDELITY: NATION-BUILDING, INTERNATIONAL LAW, and the GREEK-TURKISH POPULATION EXCHANGE by Umut Özsu a Thesis
    FABRICATING FIDELITY: NATION-BUILDING, INTERNATIONAL LAW, AND THE GREEK-TURKISH POPULATION EXCHANGE by Umut Özsu A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Sciences Faculty of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by Umut Özsu (2011) Abstract FABRICATING FIDELITY: NATION-BUILDING, INTERNATIONAL LAW, AND THE GREEK-TURKISH POPULATION EXCHANGE Umut Özsu Doctor of Juridical Sciences (S.J.D.) Faculty of Law University of Toronto 2011 This dissertation concerns a crucial episode in the international legal history of nation-building: the Greek-Turkish population exchange. Supported by Athens and Ankara, and implemented largely by the League of Nations, the population exchange showcased the new pragmatism of the post-1919 order, an increased willingness to adapt legal doctrine to local conditions. It also exemplified a new mode of non-military nation-building, one initially designed for sovereign but politico-economically weak states on the semi-periphery of the international legal order. The chief aim here, I argue, was not to organize plebiscites, channel self-determination claims, or install protective mechanisms for vulnerable minorities Ŕ all familiar features of the Allied Powers‟ management of imperial disintegration in central and eastern Europe after the First World War. Nor was the objective to restructure a given economy and society from top to bottom, generating an entirely new legal order in the process; this had often been the case with colonialism in Asia and Africa, and would characterize much of the mandates system ii throughout the interwar years. Instead, the goal was to deploy a unique mechanism Ŕ not entirely in conformity with European practice, but also distinct from non-European governance regimes Ŕ to reshape the demographic composition of Greece and Turkey.

  • Life of the Holy Hieromartyr Charalambos of Magnesia the Wonderworker
    SAINT CHARALAMBOS Verses Through the sword, Charalambos, you were deemed worthy Of the brightness and joy of the Martyrs. On the tenth, Charalambos, you were cut from the neck. Life of the Holy Hieromartyr Charalambos of Magnesia the Wonderworker On the 10th of the month (of February), we keep the Memory of the Blessed Hieromartyr Charalambos, of Saints Porphyrios and Baptus, the tormentors of Saint Charalambos, and of the Three Holy Women of Magnesia, who on beholding his martyrdom believed in Christ and were beheaded. Page 1 of 29 SAINT CHARALAMBOS By Hieromonk Makarios of Simonopetra The holy, glorious Martyr Charalambos lived at the time of the Emperor Septimus Severus (194-211) in the city of Magnesia on the River Meander near Ephesus.* He was 107 years old and had ministered as priest to the Christians of the city for many years, devotedly instructing them in the way of truth and preaching Christ to all, regardless of the threats of the pagans. When he was denounced as a dangerous mischief-maker and brought before the tribunal of the Governor Lucian, he responded to his threats in these terms, ―You little know what is for my good and well-being. Nothing could be more pleasing to me than to suffer for Christ. So don’t hesitate to put my old body to the tortures you deem the worst, and you will learn that the power of my Christ cannot be overcome.‖ He was then stripped of his priestly robe by the tormentors, who tore his flesh with iron claws without being able to elicit a single cry of pain from him.

Box 8534, Biloxi, MS 39535 (228) 388-6138 www.holytrinitybiloxi.org July Bulletin 2021 From Fr Paisius Glory to Jesus Christ! Greetings dear faithful families of our beloved Holy Trinity parish! We have recently been blessed with several Holy Baptisms in our Parish community. When we celebrate the joyous occasion of Holy Baptisms and Holy Chrismations, we all have an opportunity to reflect on the themes we encounter specifically in this Holy Sacrament. First in both we are faced with the reality that we like the newly Baptized and Chrismated have received the power and operation of the Grace of the Holy Spirit. It is this power which enables us to live faithful lives as disciples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The same power that filled the Saints that we honor in our Holy Church, is the same power that lives in our lives. Let us reach out and allow the Holy Spirit to fill us so we also may accomplish great things in faithful as the local Body of Christ. Second, we encounter our Lord's command-in the Gospel Reading for Holy Baptism- to spread the message of the Good News. Making the Holy Spirit real and effective in our lives fills us with the great joy for our own salvation but also with a deep and joyful desire to share that same Good News to others. In so doing we are fulfilling our Lord's command to share the Gospel message of Grace and Salvation.

  • Saints Who Studied (Or Taught) from Home
    60 YEARS COURAGEOUSLY Living the Gospel August 23, 2020 WEEKEND MAGAZINE 21st Sunday in OT Saints who studied (or taught) from home Education has changed a lot through the centuries, but some saints are known for the lessons they gave or re- ceived at home. By Meg Hunter-Kilmer ith many parents choosing to home- school their children for the first time this year (and plenty more continuing W after years of educating their children at home), homeschooling families around the world would do well to look to the saints who’ve gone before. Though none of them had to deal with online learning or an abundance of curricula to choose from, all of these homeschooling and homeschooled saints are models of how to grow in holiness while learning (and teaching) at home. St. Emilia of Caesarea (d. 375) is known as the Mother of Saints. Among her 10 children are three bishops (one a Doctor of the Church) and a total of six saints. And while her sons eventually left home and went off to school, Emilia and her mother-in-law St. Macrina the Elder taught them all at home in their youth, with Emilia’s oldest daughter (St. Macrina the Younger) helping out with the little ones. This was the intellectual foundation of Sts. Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa. As in many large homeschooling families, the siblings learned nearly as much from each other as they did from their parents, and both Basil and Gregory considered their older sister Macrina enormously influen- tial on their intellectual and spiritual formation.

  • Population Exchange and the Politics of Ethno-Religious Fear: the EU-Turkey Agreement on Syrian Refugees in Historical Perspective Gregory J
    Population Exchange and the Politics of Ethno-Religious Fear: the EU-Turkey Agreement on Syrian Refugees in Historical Perspective Gregory J. Goalwin Department of Sociology, University of California, Santa Barbara Santa Barbara, CA, U.S.A. Abstract: In March of 2016 the EU and Turkey reached an agreement in which all refugees who reach Greece through unauthorized means would be returned to Turkey. The deal is the latest effort to ‘stem the tide’ of refugees who have fled the Middle East. Yet this is not the first time negotiations between Europe and Turkey have resulted in an agreement to exchange problematic populations. As part of the negotiations ending WWI, Turkey and Europe agreed to a transfer of populations in which Christians in Turkey would be sent to Greece in exchange for Greece’s small population of Muslims. This project draws upon historical research and contemporary policy analysis to compare the 2016 EU-Turkey Refugee Agreement and the 1923 Greco- Turkish population exchange. A comparative approach reveals the European response to this refugee crisis is not merely an echo of past sentiments, but the product of patterns of prejudice that have structured relationships between majority populations and religious minority and refugee populations in Europe and Turkey alike. Keywords: Population Exchange; Refugee Crisis; Syria; Turkey; European Union; EU-Turkey Agreement on Refugees Biographical Note: Gregory Goalwin holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California, Santa Barbara and currently serves as Lecturer at California State University, Channel Islands. His research examines religion, culture, and the formation of ethnic and national identity, with particular focus on Ireland and the early years of the Republic of Turkey.

  • Sex, Gender and Christian Identity in the Patristic Era1
    UDK: 27-18 https://doi.org/10.2298/FID2102162C Original Scientific Article PHILOSOPHY AND SOCIETY Received 20.01.2021. Accepted 22.02.2021. VOL. 32, NO. 2, 157–334 To cite text: Cvetković, Vladimir (2021), “Sex, Gender and Christian Identity in the Patristic Era”, Philosophy and Society 32 (2): 162–176. Vladimir Cvetković SEX, GENDER AND CHRISTIAN IDENTITY IN THE PATRISTIC ERA1 ABSTRACT KEYWORDS Focusing on three historical examples of a different understanding of gender, sex, Christian Christian identity, the paper seeks to address the role of contemporary identity, martyrdom, concepts of sex and gender in the creation of Christian identity. In the virginity, ecstasy, love, first case study, focused on the literary representations of the Christian marriage. martyrdom from the second and third centuries, special emphasis is placed on the demand for the ‘manly’ or ‘masculine’ way of witnessing faith. The second historical example relates to the creation of a wider ascetic movement in the fourth-century Asia Minor, and its specific focus is on Macrina the Younger. In her Vita, Gregory of Nyssa distinguishes between Macrina’s gender identity based on her virginity on the one hand, and her social role as a widow, and ‘mother’ and ‘father’ of her monastic community on the other. Finally, the focus is shifted towards Dionysius the Areopagite and Maximus the Confessor, whose teachings about ecstasy, as a way to transcend oneself in the movement towards the loved one, provide the basis for establishing a theology of marriage and creating a Christian identity based not on sexual or gender roles, but on the uniqueness of human nature.

  • The Greek Emigres in Czechoslovakia and Their Life in the 1960S
    DOI: https://doi.org/10.2298/GEI1903545T UDC 314.742(=14'06)(437.3)"196" Original research paper Konstantinos Tsivos Department of Greek and Latin Studies, Faculty of Arts, Charles University, Prague [email protected] The Greek Emigres in Czechoslovakia and Their Life in the 1960s The article acquaints the reader with the structure of Greek political emigration in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s, drawing on Czech as well as Greek archives. It follows primarily demographic, social, and cultural aspects of the emigre group that was closely linked to the Communist Party of Greece. In particular, it pursues the issue of the forming of emigre identity in the era of De-Stalinisation. The article is concerned with social develop- ments in the emigre group and their gradual integration into the Czechoslovak society of the 1960s. It pursues the complicated process of building a new identity, the national and linguistic structure of the emigre group, its standard of living and employment, their educational system, the process of the formation of their own intelligentsia, and generation issues. Individual topics are examined on a socio-cultural level in the context of political developments in Czechoslovakia and Greece. Key words: Czechoslovakia, Greek emigration, Communist Party of Greece, Greek diaspora, identity Грчки емигранти у Чехословачкој и њихов живот у шездесетим годинама XX века Овај чланак упознаје читаоца са структуром грчке политичке емиграције у Чехословачку шездесетих година XX века, чија се анализа заснива на подацима из чешких и грчких архива.
