1. Kirchenleitung durch das Wort : Eine empirisch-homiletische Untersuchung ephoraler Predigten zur Visitation

Author

Alexandra Eimterbäumer and Alexandra Eimterbäumer

Subjects
Christian leadership, Sermons, Visitation sermons
Abstract

Die Theorie weist Predigten von kirchenleitenden Personen eine zentrale Rolle zu. Praktisch-theologisch sind sie aber wenig erforscht. Die Studie untersucht deshalb, wie ephorale Predigten zur Visitation Kirche inszenieren. Dazu kommen folgende Felder in den Blick: die Visitation als Leitungshandeln, Konstruktionen der Außengrenze von Kirche, Vergemeinschaftung nach innen und das Verhältnis zwischen Superintendent und Gemeinde. Die Studie zeigt, dass die Predigten ihre kybernetische Funktion gerade darin entfalten, dass sie die Mehrdimensionalität von Kirche (Institution, Organisation und Interaktion), das gemeinsame kirchliche Ethos und gemeinsame Emotionen darstellen. Diese Ergebnisse präzisieren und erweitern so die Theorie der Kirchenleitung. [Leading the Church by Proclaiming the Word] Although the sermon is regarded as a key instrument in leading the church, it has scarcely been an object of research in Practical Theology. Hence, this study analyses how church is staged in sermons which were preached by deans on the occasion of a'visitation'. For this purpose, the study takes a closer look at: the'visitation'as a process of leading, the ways boarders of the church are created, the approaches to community-building, the relation between the dean and the congregation. The study shows that sermons develop their cybernetic function both by staging the multiple dimensions of the church as an institution, an organisation and an interaction; and by presenting and performing collective emotions and a common ethos. Thus, the study's results specify and modify the theory of leadership in the church.

2. "Faith from Hearing" in Luther's Sermons on the Visitation.

Author

Dubbelman, Samuel J.

Subjects
*LITHUANIAN sermons, *VISITATION sermons, *FAITH (Christianity), *PREACHING
Abstract

A recent study from the Finnish school of Luther research argues that the early Luther used the imagery of light and darkness to depict faith as a Realist version of interior divine illumination. While helpfully situating Luther's understanding of faith within medieval approaches to illumination, the work's method and scope risk obscuring Luther's increased emphasis in the 1520s on the agency of the external word in the generation of faith. Luther's sermons on the Visitation (of Mary to Elizabeth) are important sources in this debate, because they deal specifically with the topic of illumination in relation to faith. This study tracks an increased emphasis in Luther's preaching on the Visitation from a description of Elizabeth's faith as light to one of hearing in darkness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

5. EUCHARISTIC WORSHIP OUTSIDE MASS I.

Author

NÓDA, MÓZES

Subjects
WORSHIP, LORD'S Supper, LATIN rite (Catholic Church), MASS (Liturgy), VISITATION sermons
Abstract

Eucharistic worship outside Mass, a proprium of the Western Church, developed in the second millennium. It was prepared in the East by the understanding of the Eucharist as fearsome mystery and the shaping of the liturgy after the model of the imperial court, centered on Christ as Pantocrator. In the West, the decisive stages were the reification of the Eucharist and the focus on the real-substantial presence. Nonetheless, it will be shown that Eucharistic worship actually emerged from the Eucharistic celebration, from the conviction that Christ was truly present in this celebration. This faith became the basis and source of the Eucharistic devotion of the second millennium. The reservation and worship of Eucharist, the elevation and adoration, as well as the theophoric processions focused on the adoration of the divine presence. The introductory outline of the development of the Eucharistic celebration points to the connection between Eucharistic celebration and worship. The second part discusses the emergence of the different forms of Eucharistic worship as expressions of a novel religious experience, the adoration of the divinity present in the Eucharist.

Subjects
ECONOMICS, RELIGION, BISHOPS, UNITED States economy, PUBLIC welfare, VISITATION sermons
Abstract

This section deals with the pastoral letter "Economic Justice for All: Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economy," published by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in November 1984. The bishops have considered responses and comments from all across the political and religious spectrum in preparing this final statement. The bishops' motivation for writing the pastoral letter is the host of economic problems that plagues the U.S. and the world. In their own words, they write not only to provide guidance for the members of their own church, but also to elicit the "cooperation and support of those who do not share our faith or tradition. The pastoral letter also calls for a thorough reform of the nation's welfare system. INSET: Precedes 1.

Author

Sterba, James

Subjects
CATHOLICS, VISITATION sermons, BISHOPS, UNITED States economy, SOCIOECONOMICS
Abstract

The article deals with the "Pastoral Letter on Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economy." The document has been endorsed by the U.S. Catholic Bishops, because it is likely that many people will come to accept or consider its conclusions. The pastoral begins with an account of the "signs of the times." These signs call for a moral response on our part. The ultimate principle of Chapter 2 of the pastoral is the principle of human dignity. Critics of the letter have raised various objections to the policy recommendations contained in it. Yet even if the criticisms of the policy recommendations of the pastoral can be answered in many ways, there still remains a fundamental problem for the pastoral.

9. ‘The best Reformed Church’: church government and politics.

Author

Milton, Anthony

Abstract

The problem of Reformed church government Joseph Hall acted as the mouthpiece of English Calvinists when he explained that issues of discipline were of minor importance for relations between the different Reformed Churches. The varying forms of Protestant church government were, he explained, ‘not … essential to the being of a church, though much importing the well or better being of it, according to our several apprehensions thereof’, and the different Protestant Churches therefore retained ‘a reverent and loving opinion of each other’. While this explanation may have seemed straightforward, it was still problematic in its treatment of an area where Protestants were openly at variance. Most Reformed Churches considered themselves to be ‘the best reformed church’, and even if few considered their form of church government to be vital to the esse (being) of a church, their conviction that it might well ‘import the well or better being of it’ naturally tended to undermine any suggestion that all forms of church government and ceremony were essentially things indifferent, to be varied at will in each individual church. Even Joseph Hall himself did not always sustain the relativistic tone adopted above.In a different context, Hall could be found urgingthe Church of England's own form of episcopal church government as ‘universaland unalterable’ and ‘appointed by the Holy Ghost’, and maintaining that ‘to depart from the judgment and practice of the universal church of Christ ever since the apostles’ times, and to betake ourselves to a new invention,cannot but be, besides the danger, vehemently scandalous'.

10. Visibility, succession and the church before Luther.

Author

Milton, Anthony

Abstract

THE PROTESTANT CHURCH BEFORE LUTHER I began with this consideration that there were two sortes of questions betweene the Catholiques and Protestants the one of right or Doctrine the other of Fact or Story. As this, Whether Luther were the new preacher of the protestant fayth. Whether it hadd a visable apparanc of pastors and teachers before this tyme. I resolved to begin my inquiry with the questions of fact … because they were so few and so comprehensable by all capacytyes and the controversyes of doctrine so many and so Intricate as they required much tyme and Learning for theyr dis-quisition. When he set out in this way to resolve his conscience on the issues separating the Roman and Protestant Churches, Walter Montague, son of the earl of Manchester, doubtless followed the instincts of many lay readers of the Roman/Protestant controversy. Rather than the complex and seemingly endless points of doctrinal conflict, it was the more tangible and straightforward questions of historical fact surrounding the separation of the Protestants from the Church of Rome which seemed to offer the clearest guide to the troubled layman. It was here, however, that Montague claimed to have found the weakest point in the Protestant armoury against Rome, and he converted to Rome as a consequence. But how incoherent really was the Church of England's perception of its own past? And how far did this perception complicate English Protestants' understanding of their present relationship with the Roman Church? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

11. ‘This immortal fewde’: anti-popery, ‘negative popery’ and the changing climate of religious controversy.

Author

Milton, Anthony

Abstract

THE ATTRACTIONS OF ANTI-POPERY In 1600 Andrew Willet had urged anti-popery as the main vocation of the Church of England. He argued that it would unite puritans and bishops, enabling them to put the presbyterian upheavals behind them, and would stimulate an awareness of a common identity which conformists and precisians shared. In practice, things were rarely that simple. Estimations of the relative importance of the papal threat, and therefore of the value of opposition to it, were changing during the early Stuart period. Later chapters will study the structure of anti-papal thought in England and will investigate some of the doctrinal changes which possibly underlay these different assessments. However, it will be necessary to devote this first chapter to exploring the rationale of Elizabethan and Jacobean antipopery, and the purposes which it served. After an initial examination of the evaluations built into this ideology, the changes within it will then be placed within the context of the political chronology of the period, and the rapid developments during the 1630s, when the value of anti-popery was fundamentally challenged.Recent scholarship has already demonstrated how anti-papal polemic acted during the Elizabethan period as the established means whereby moderate puritans such as Willet could both display their loyalty to the Church of England, and at the same time affirm their commitment to further reformation.In Jacobean times anti-papal writings, at least in the first half of the reign, were the most distinctive feature of English Protestant theology and occupied the energies of all the principal members of the Jacobean episcopate. Recent scholarship has already demonstrated how anti-papal polemic acted during the Elizabethan period as the established means whereby moderate puritans such as Willet could both display their loyalty to the Church of England, and at the same time affirm their commitment to further reformation.

17. Economic Justice for All and Commitment in Catholic Classrooms.

Author

Marciniak, Ed

Subjects
VISITATION sermons, COLLEGE teachers, CLERGY, VISITATIONS (Church work), CHURCH
Abstract

The article examines a pastoral letter "Economic Justice For All." It stressed three themes which are architectonic to the pastoral's overall viewpoint and which have a special message for the students, faculty and staff of a Catholic university's business school. These themes were covered in the pastoral letter: the U.S. economy cannot and dare not isolate itself from religious and ethical norms; the economy, like the larger society of which it is a part, should show a preferential option for the poor; and somehow, the U.S. economic system must learn how to acknowledge, in theory and practice, the priority of labor over capital. The U.S. bishops, like John Paul II in his encyclical "On Human Work," are not issuing edicts or commands; they are not laying down the law. They have been writing a pastoral letter. Hence, it is conciliatory in tone, not condemnatory. In most part, it is free of ecclesial dogmatism. As part of the teaching and learning Church, the bishops hope, instead, to inspirit and persuade.

*VISITATION sermons, *CHRISTIAN literature, *WAR, *PRISONERS
Abstract

Leaders of the thirty six member communions of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S., write this joint pastoral letter at a time when the threat of violence hangs over the earth and warfare involving the U.S. forces is increasing in Iraq. The author writes out of a deep love for this country, but also out of a profound concern at the direction this cycle of violence is taking the common man. This concern has been brought home to all Americans and indeed the world in the horrific pictures of prisoner abuse. Two central claims of the Christian faith are crucial in one's thinking: that every person, as a child of God, is of infinite worth; and that all persons, as participants in God's one creation, are related in their humanity and vulnerability. This is why the World Council of Churches has asserted that "war is contrary to the will of God" — because it destroys that which God has made sacred. In a sinful world, some of the people may hold that there may be times when war is a necessary evil.
