Abstract:

The site for this seminary is located within the northwest quadrant of the District of Columbia. The site consists of a ridge approximately one hundred and ten feet in elevation bounded by Clark Street at its north western tip and a rocky promontory a quarter of a mile to the southeast. Along its southwestern edge lies Canal Road, the C&O Canal and the Potomac River. To the northeast lies upper Georgetown. My intention was to utilize the natural axis of the ridge to construct a clear line of demarcation between the secular world and the world of religious education and scholarship. It was clear from the beginning that the site had to be developed in accordance with the natural orientation and steep topography of the ridge. The clearest means of access to the site exists to the north east along an abandoned rail bed that intersects Fox hall Road. The new road to be constructed within this depression constitutes the first in a series of moves to create a datum line between the natural setting of the seminary and the urban fabric of Georgetown. Parallel to this road lies a continuous reflecting pool eight hundred feet in length. This second element of separation is broken only at the entry to the seminary. The third and final element of separation is an extended wall that defines both the natural orientation of the site and the linear structure of the seminary. From the northwest it extends over one thousand feet to the southeast. Like the reflecting pool, the datum wall is broken only at its single point of entry. The structure of the seminary can be viewed in its entirety from the southwest. It is a linear composition with a semi-circular terrace at its entry which forms an open air cloister. On either side stand the auditorium and lecture spaces, administrative facilities, library, refectory, seminarian cells, chapel, terrace and bell tower.

Abstract:

La cathedrale de lombez, dont l'eveche fut erige en 1317, a ete edifiee a partir de 1317 jusqu'au debut du xve siecle, a l'emplacement de l'eglise abbatiale preexistante. C'est un edifice a deux nefs d'inegale largeur et a chapelle entre les contreforts, construit en brique, qui se caracterise par la profonde influence de l'eglise des jacobins de toulouse de nombreuses tetes humaines et animales sculptees, au style repetitif, ornent les culs de lampe sur lesquels viennent reposer les branches d'ogives des chapelles et de la deuxieme travee du vaisseau sud. L'eveque de lombez s'installa dans l'ancien logis abbatial, au sud de la cathedrale. Le cloitre roman fut conserve, mais, peu a peu, ses galeries furent modifiees suivant les besoins de l'eveque. Un ensemble episcopal assez complexe se developpa autour de deux cours. Et ce n'est qu'a partir de la deuxieme moitie du xviiie siecle que debuta la construction d'un veritable palais episcopal. Ce dernier ne fut jamais acheve car l'eveche fut supprime a la revolution. Il ne reste plus aujourd'hui qu'un corps de batiment du xviiie siecle incluant une partie plus ancienne, datant probablement du xvie siecle
The cathedral of lombez, erected by the bishopric in 1317, has been built from 1317 to the xv century. It's a building with two unequal naves as for their width and with chapels between the buttress, built bricks, with the influence of the toulouse jacobins church. Numerous carved humans and animals heads in a poor style, adorn the chapels culs de lampe. The bishop of lombez settled down in the old abbatial house, at the south of the cathedral. The romanic cloister has been kept, but his galleries have been modified according to the bishop needs. An episcopal group complex enough expanded around two yards. In the second half of xviii century began the building of an episcopal palace, and its edification was interrupted by the french revolution

Flower, Richard Andrew. "Polemic and episcopal authority in fourth-century Christianity." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2007. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/265486.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores the employment of polemical literature by mid-fourth-century Christian authors as a means of promoting themselves as authoritative and orthodox figures during a period of doctrinal uncertainty. It focuses on the writings of four bishops (Athanasius of Alexandria, Hilary of Poitiers, Lucifer of Cagliari and Epiphanius of Salamis), who are noted for their fierce opposition to heresy, and, in the case of the first three, their vehement attacks on the emperor Constantius II (337-361). These authors chose to draw upon recognisable literary elements and characters - most notably biblical figures and martyrs - in order to present themselves and their enemies as re-enacting canonical struggles from Christian history. These accounts combined the techniques of classical rhetoric and the deployment of paideia in agonistic disputation with an explicitly Christian canon of reference material and system of values. Th.is thesis therefore considers the representation of the authors' political and theological opponents, in order to show that when these men attacked 'heresy', they often did so in order to defend themselves from the same charge, rather than writing from a secure position of power. When doing so, they also sought to create for themselves positions as authoritative commentators on theology and practice. The first chapter discusses the literary antecedents, both classical and Christian, for the attacks directed against Constantius II, together with the social role of ceremonial, panegyric and invective in the Roman empire; the second chapter examines the Christian construction of an image of the emperor Constantius II as the archetypal tyrant and persecutor; the third argues that these writers laid claim to charismatic authority by presenting themselves as the heirs of the martyrs; the fourth continues the theme of scriptural re-enactment by examining its wider use in the literary construction of theological disputes as replaying biblical events or fulfilling prophecies; the fifth continues the theme of heretical genealogies by exploring the emergence of quasi-scientific classification systems for heterodox belief, particularly in the encyclopaedic Panarion of Epiphanius. This final chapter therefore also examines tl1e growth of heresiology and argues that this author sought to protect himself and his theological ideas by anathematising his opponents and promoting 11in1self as an expert on discovering and destroying heresy. By bringing together this group of distinct, but linked, claims to authority, this thesis contributes to the growing sense of the fourth century as a time of both uncertainty and innovation within Christianity, during which a series of doctrinal and institutional challenges resulted in a wide range of new forms of literary response.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis investigates cultural expressions of episcopal power in Anglo-Norman England. Bishops were powerful men who operated within a complex power structure. It addresses three key cultural themes: language, the body and space. Using a variety of source material this study offers a wide-ranging vision of episcopal power. It draws on a number of theoretical positions and confronts some of the most damaging historiographical narratives which have overshadowed the bishop. The central aim of this thesis is to investigate the performance of power. By studying how bishops used documents and rhetoric it is possible to understand episcopal power as a pragmatic force. In particular the symbols or representations of power are in fact acts of power which need to be interpreted within the broader historical context of post-Conquest England. Overall this thesis seeks to reposition bishops back in their cathedrals and in this way provide a comparative study of episcopal power.

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis presents an empirical view of episcopal power in England from 1066 to 1135. For simplicity’s sake, ‘power’ is defined as efficacy, or the ability to achieve one’s ends. No formal distinction is made here between ‘power’ and ‘authority’. The bulk of the thesis (Chapters 3-5) consists of three case studies: the first examines the political relationship between bishops, the papacy and the kings of England; the second looks at episcopal landholding; and the third considers disputes between bishoprics and abbeys. These case studies start by asking what bishops did: what their political goals were and the extent to which they achieved them. They then ask how bishops did what they did: what resources bishops deployed; why certain actions were possible; why certain strategies were or were not successful. By doing this it is possible to determine the nature of the power which bishops exercised. Three conclusions emerge: firstly, that episcopal power was highly dependent on royal power in this period; secondly, that the basis of episcopal power was often intangible (ideology or personality), rather than material (land or money); and thirdly, that episcopal power was inherently limited, in that bishops sometimes had very little freedom of action. Chapters 1 and 2 are not case studies. They are concerned with ideals of episcopal power. Chapter 1 shows that ideals of episcopal conduct and episcopal power (as expressed in contemporary hagiography) changed in eleventh-century England. It attempts to link these changes to historical developments in this period. Chapter 2 shows that these changing ideals were reflected in the narrative sources for the episcopate of Anglo-Norman England, but not in the reality of episcopal conduct, and that historians have often been misled by these narrative sources, reproducing a model of episcopal power which was little more than a monastic fantasy.

Full text

Abstract:

My PhD offers a reassessment of the representation of English bishops within episcopal vitae composed between 1093 and 1214. It argues that the depiction of episcopal sanctity was shaped by the expectations of the community for which these texts were written and the hagiographer’s specific causa scribendi (reasons for writing). Through an investigation of four distinct Latin episcopal saints’ lives, I investigate the relationship between hagiographical function, episcopal identity and patronage by setting each text within its specific institutional and historical context. The vitae I have selected are: Faricius of Arezzo’s life of Aldhelm (c.1093-1099), William Wycombe’s life of Robert Bethune (c.1148-1150) and Gerald of Wales’s lives of Remigius (c.1198-1199) and Hugh of Avalon (c.1210-1214).

Coates, Simon J. "Images of episcopal authority in early Anglo-Saxon England." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 1994. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/26404.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is an attempt to indicate the importance attached to the episcopate within the early Anglo-Saxon Church and the diverse manner in which episcopal authority was defined. It explores the reason why the role, function and authority of bishops concerned both bishops themselves and others within the Church, and the purposes to which texts defining and describing the conduct of bishops were put. One purpose of the study is to seek to reassess the historical problem of the Christianisation and transformation of early Anglo-Saxon society. This transformation altered the structure of the way in which people thought about their lives. The figure of the bishop became one means by which this transformation could be explored, explained and understood. The episcopate became a locus of authority within a newly Christianised world. The extent to which texts concerned with defining episcopal authority used and explored models and ideas derived from earlier Christian tradition is explored. The introduction establishes some of the parameters of the thesis and shows how a monastic bias has been injected into the study of early Anglo-Saxon history by the writings of Bede and the Tenth-Century monastic reformers. An opening chapter analyses the sources used: hagiography, the writings of Bede and the decrees of church councils. It stresses in particular the need to approach hagiographical sources from a theoretical perspective. Chapter two delineates Bede's conception of the Church as an episcopal institution and shows the manner in which he was concerned to portray the conversion of the English people largely through the work of bishops. It also discusses the functions which Bede expected bishops to perform. Chapter three also on Bede focuses upon the manner in which, as a monastic writer, he conceived the ideal bishop to be both a pastor and a solitary heavily influenced by ascetic and monastic conceptions of the episcopal office.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis reassesses the nature and importance of the Scottish Episcopal Church in Edinburgh and more widely. Based on a microstudy of one chapel community over a twenty-four year period, it addresses a series of questions of religion, identity, gender, culture and civic society in late Enlightenment Edinburgh, Scotland, and Britain, combining ecclesiastical, social and economic history. The study examines the congregation of Charlotte Episcopal Chapel, Rose Street, Edinburgh, from its foundation by English clergyman Daniel Sandford in 1794 to its move to the new Gothic chapel of St John's in 1818. Initially an independent chapel, Daniel Sandford's congregation joined the Scottish Episcopal Church in 1805 and the following year he was made Bishop of Edinburgh, although he contined to combine this role with that of rector to the chapel until his death in 1830. Methodologically, the thesis combines a detailed reassessment of Daniel Sandford's thought and ministry (Chapter Two) with a prosopographical study of 431 individuals connected with the congregation as officials or in the in the chapel registers (Chapter Three). Biography of the leader and prosopography of the community are brought to illuminate and enrich one another to understand the wealth and business networks of the congregation (Chapter Four) and their attitudes to politics, piety and gender (Chapter Five). The thesis argues that Daniel Sandford's Evangelical Episcopalianism was both original in Scotland, and one of the most successful in appealing to educated and influential members of Edinburgh society. The congregation, drawn largely from the newly-built West End of Edinburgh, were bourgeois and British in their composition. The core membership of privileged Scots, rooted in land and law, led, but were also challenged by and forced to adapt to a broad social spread who brought new wealth and influence into the West End through India and the consumer boom. The discussion opens up many avenues for further research including the connections between Scottish Episcopalianism and romanticism, the importance of India and social mobility within the consumer economy in the development of Edinburgh, and Scottish female intellectual culture and its engagement with religion and enlightenment. Understanding the role of enlightened, evangelical Episcopalianism, which is the contribution of this study, will form an important context for these enquiries.

Pope Francis has been surprising the world since his arrival at the Vatican's most important balcony on March 13, 2013, when he was elected Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church. There, already in those brief minutes of his appearance, he draws attention by his gestures, by the way of his speaking, actig and mainly, by the way of being close to people. Still on that memorable day, Francis points to an way that, although not explicitly, becomes central in his ministry: Collegiality. This is noticeable at the moment when he calls himself bishop of Rome and calls the cardinals of brothers. Francis's words point to Collegiality. However, only a deeper inquiry is able to discover whether, in fact, Francis is a pope who lives the collegial spirit in his family and ministerial base. The present dissertation sought to know the theoretical and theological bases of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the ecclesiological paths covered by him, regarding Collegiality. This work had, among other things, the intention of discovering if the experiences of Jorge Mario Bergoglio before the election contributed to the collegial tone present in the documents of Francis. For this, the research sought to show the roots of Collegiality present not only in the moment of the Second Vatican Council, but also the aspects of its reception in the different continents, particulary in Latin American soil, of which Bergoglio is a beloved son. It was too important to know the biographical-existential roots of the future archbishop of Buenos Aires. Recognizing such aspects of Bergoglio, it will be easier to discover who, in fact, is Francis and what his thoughts are for the Church and her mission
O papa Francisco vem surpreendendo o mundo desde sua chegada à sacada mais importante do Vaticano naquele 13 de março de 2013, quando fora eleito Sumo Pontífice da Igreja Católica. Ali, já naqueles breves minutos de sua aparição, chama a atenção seja pelos gestos, pela maneira de falar e agir e, principalmente, pela maneira de se fazer próximo às pessoas. Ainda naquele dia memorável, Francisco aponta para um eixo que, embora não explicitamente, passa a ser central em seu ministério: a Colegialidade. Isso é perceptível já no momento em que ele se denomina como bispo de Roma e chama os cardeais de irmãos. As palavras de Francisco apontam para a Colegialidade. Entretanto, somente uma averiguação mais profunda é capaz de descobrir se, de fato, Francisco é um papa que vive o espírito colegial desde sua base familiar e ministerial. A presente dissertação buscou conhecer as bases teóricas e teológicas de Jorge Mario Bergoglio, os caminhos eclesiológicos percorridos por ele, no que tange a Colegialidade. Esse trabalho teve, dentre outras coisas, o intuito de descobrir se as experiências de Jorge Mario Bergoglio anteriores à eleição contribuíram para a tônica colegial presente nos documentos de Francisco. Para tanto a pesquisa procurou mostrar as raízes da Colegialidade presentes não só no momento do Concílio Vaticano II, como os aspectos de sua recepção nos diferentes continentes, particularmente em solo latino-americano, do qual Bergoglio é um dileto filho. Demasiado importante se mostrou o conhecimento das raízes biográfico-existenciais do futuro arcebispo de Buenos Aires. Reconhecendo tais aspectos de Bergoglio, com mais facilidade se descobrirá quem, de fato é Francisco e quais são seus pensamentos para a Igreja e sua missão

Abstract:

The primary focus of the thesis is to examine and explain the architectural, religious, and anthropological occurrences that influenced the implementation of ecclesiology in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana in the period prior to the American Civil War in 1861. Architectural, religious, and cultural developments in the region have been considered within the context of Romanticism, Cotton Capitalism, provincial architectural taste and climatic conditions, socioeconomic placement of the gentry planter class, and the liturgical developments within the Episcopal Church. The Episcopal Church was the only denomination interested in the development of the Gothic Revival and the High Church influences in the largely evangelical region creates a question of purpose. Aside from liturgical requirements, issues of taste and refinement are associated with the Gothic form and are therefore associated with the educated and wealthy Episcopal congregants. This thesis examines the information beyond any existing literature and explains how and why a variation of ecclesiology was implemented in certain Episcopal parishes in the Gulf South. The methodology for creating an argument for antebellum ecclesiology concentrates on primary sources and fieldwork. The first hand accounts of both natives and travellers in the region, the reports from the clergy, and the writings from the Episcopal planter class, all infuse to create a clear understanding of the development of the Gothic Revival and the purpose, both religiously and socially, of the style. The influence of the Oxford Movement and the English ecclesiologists is also considered when evaluating the transatlantic relationship between the American Church and Southern Anglophiles in relation to the Church of England. The theological and humanistic understanding of mankind within the confines of a slave-based economy also influenced the decision of the planter class to gravitate towards the Episcopal Church and establish an architectural presence unique to their social and economic level. Ecclesiology embodied the refinement and social position of the Episcopal Church, creating a visible and psychical manifestation of High Church principles suited for the gentry slaveholding class. By examining the architectural models of the early Episcopal Church in the Gulf South, this data establishes a pattern of the Church supporting the Gothic Revival and, in some circumstances, following the principles of ecclesiology.

Abstract:

This thesis looks at Blessed are the Poor?, a document presented to the General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church that sought to outline Liberation Theology to the Church. In response to this the Synod voted £1,000,000 of its resources to be used specifically in projects in the poorest parts of Scotland. The thesis outlines those projects and the way in which they sought to embody the "Option for the Poor". The thesis closes by looking at whether Blessed are the Poor? faithfully represented Liberation Theology and the "Option"; whether the projects represented that theology and concluding that they did not, recognises that it is the nature of both the "Option" and the institutional Church that such a task could never be achieved. In order to understand the pastoral project this thesis outlines the historical development of Liberation Theology after the Second Vatican Council and in Latin America with particular emphasis on the "Option for the Poor". This thesis proceeds to look at the development of an "Option for the Poor" in the work of Gustavo Gutiérrez, the leading Liberation Theologian. The critiques of that work from the Vatican, Pablo Richard and Hugo Assmann are then considered. Gutiérrez’s works are used to develop a theological matrix that identifies the essential elements of the “Option for the Poor”. Having considered the notion of the "Option for the Poor" the thesis proceeds to look at how the "Option" was taken forward in the Churches in Britain before focussing on the specific response of the Scottish Episcopal Church. The matrix is used as a tool to assess whether the various parts of the response truly reflected the “Option for the Poor”.

Abstract:

There is continuing interest in religion and spirituality in Britain, although membership of mainstream churches is declining. Perceived secularisation of contemporary British society, together with increasing competition from ‘New Age’ movements, is causing many churches to review their approach to mission. This study considers the impact of the Scottish Episcopal Church’s strategy, Mission 21, during 1999-2004, initially under the controversial leadership of Primus Richard Holloway. Its explicit aim was to create a ‘postmodern’ church, attractive to those ‘on the margins of faith’. The research discovered that managerial and sociological approaches alone are insufficient to understand meaning and change in organisations, and that unique insights into the cultural change process may be gained from understanding of psychological individual differences, both of organisations and their members. In this case the instrument used was the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and derived Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS). A case study approach was adopted to develop theory grounded in the data, collected from grass roots congregations in the shape of MBTI profiles of clergy and key players, and a repertory grid analysis of the clergy role; and at strategic level with a participant observation study. Clergy were expected to be spiritual enactors of worship, leaders and managers of resources, and, most importantly for congregational key stakeholders of all personality types, to minister to congregations’ emotional needs. This tended to inhibit their ability to drive through culture change. The Church’s culture appeared predominantly traditionalist, although there was also evidence of a more liberal and mystical strain. However, the aim by Holloway to attract the interest of ultra-liberals was seen to extend the Church’s ‘market niche’ further than could be sustained even in a relatively heterogeneous culture. The research indicated that change in a faith-based organisation, concerned with people’s deepest emotions and anxieties, cannot ignore individual differences at the expense of managerial factors when understanding of the former provides a unique insight into the change process.

Abstract:

This thesis identifies, describes and assesses the leading features of Evangelicalism as exhibited in the writings and episcopate of John Charles Ryle, first Bishop of Liverpool, 1880-1900. Chapter One attempts a synthesis of his theology through his extant sermons. Chapter Two describes his understanding of the dangers facing the Church of England oh account of the Disestablishment of the Irish Church and the presence of 'Romanism' within the Church. Chapter Three outlines Ryle's strategy of evangelism in the city of Liverpool, while Chapter Four identifies his involvement in contemporary social issues. Chapters Five and Six look at ways in which this mission activity was hindered and obstructed by other clergy, by other diocesan activity, by financial constraints and by the problem of Ritualism, especially the prosecution of James Bell Cox. As a result of this study it is possible to identify changes in both Evangelical theology and practice in the last decades of the nineteenth century.

Abstract:

Art History
M.A.
Prior to the removal of monumental murals from the cathedral of Pachoras (Faras), the largely unknown cultural entity of Christian Nubia figured in scholarship merely as a peripheral outpost of Byzantine and Egyptian influence. The impressive corpus of visual evidence from Pachoras, located south of the first Nile cataract and now inundated by Lake Nasser, led Kurt Weitzmann to reevaluate its significance in a seminal essay published in 1970. By tracing artistic sources of Christian Nubian art to Egypt, Palestine, and Syria, Weitzmann initiated recognition of the close ties between Nubia and Byzantium. Since that time, however, this subject has received little art historical attention, and it continues to pose interpretive challenges. I endeavor to recuperate the Nubian wall paintings from Pachoras for mainstream Byzantine studies. To that end, I explore the depictions of three of the Pachoras bishops, with particular attention to their original location, relationship with surrounding images, and epigraphic evidence. I conceive of these tenth- and eleventh-century portraits as visual constructions of Nubian episcopal authority mapped out on the cathedral's walls. I also explore the possible meanings of the indigenous elements represented in the images of the Pachoras bishops, while considering their relationships to the eastern Mediterranean textual and visual traditions. Evidence includes the paintings with accompanying inscriptions, fourteenth-century scrolls of Bishop Timotheos, Greek and Coptic epitaphs engraved on ninth- through twelfth-century funerary steles, and a list of bishops, first painted around the turn of the tenth century.

O objetivo deste trabalho é entender a atuação da igreja católica junto à população de Mariana no que diz respeito ao controle da moral e dos bons costumes, a partir de uma ferramenta extensamente utilizada: as visitações episcopais. Veremos que através deste controle religioso a mulher negra recebeu maior atenção por parte da igreja, quando observamos que elas se constituíram a maior parte do rol de punidos. Assim, nossa pesquisa centrou-se na análise da cidade de Mariana, em Minas Gerais, entre os anos de 1722 e 1793. A partir das devassas será possível analisar a estrutura das visitas bem como suas relações com o Santo Ofício da Inquisição de Portugal. Por fim, são investigadas as relações entre as punições e os delitos, ao analisar os casos de concubinato e feitiçaria.
The objective of this study is to understand the role of the Catholic Church on the population of Mariana regarding the control of morals and morality, from a widely used tool: the episcopal visitations. We will see that through this religious control, black women received more attention from the Church, when we observed that they constituted the largest part of punished people. Thus, our research focused on the analysis of the city of Mariana, Minas Gerais, between 1722 and 1793. From wanton, it will be possible to analyze the structure of visits as well as its relations with the Holy Office of the Inquisition in Portugal. Finally, we analyze the relationships between punishments and offenses, to analyze cases of concubinage and sorcery.

O objetivo deste trabalho é entender a atuação da Igreja Católica junto à população das Minas Gerais no que diz respeito ao controle da moral e dos bons costumes. Veremos que através deste controle religioso a mulher negra forra recebeu a maior atenção por parte da Igreja, orientada por um projeto que esteve ao longo de todo o século XVIII pautado pelas Visitações Eclesiásticas. Assim, nossa pesquisa centrou-se na análise da cidade de Mariana, em Minas Gerais, entre os anos de 1722 e 1743. Abordamos a explosão das manumissões como um fator essencial tanto para o Estado português quanto para a Igreja Católica acreditarem que esta cidade deveria receber uma maior atenção. Desta forma, era preciso organizar a população nos moldes europeus. O modo encontrado pela Igreja baseou-se nas incursões religiosas em solo colonial através destas Visitações.
This work aimed to understand the Catholic Church performance on the population of Minas Gerais in relation to the moral control. It will be seen that, through this religious control, the free black women have received a large attention from the Church, that was guided by a project based on Ecclesiastical Visitations throughout the century XVIII. This study focused on the analysis of the city of Mariana, in the state of Minas Gerais, from 1722 to 1743. The manumissions boom is considered in this work as an essential factor so that the Portuguese state and the Catholic Church believed that this city should receive a bigger attention. This way, it was necessary to organize the population in the European standards. The manner found by the Church was based on religious incursions in the colony through these visitations.
