Abstract:

The subject of this thesis is an American Zen monastery in New York, Zen Mountain Monastery (ZMM). The study is approached through a survey of methodologies: (1) through the scholarship on American culture and religion, (2) through the sociology of the study of religious institutions and communities and (3) through a comparison with East Asian Zen monasticism. The study reveals that ZMM's monasticism: (1) is part of a systematization of Zen in America that has made Zen into a mainstream option in American society, (2) has created group practices and commitment mechanisms that put ZMM in a better position than American lay Zen centers to challenge the individualist trends of American society and spirituality and (3) is based on a conception of the self more in line with the individualism of American society than the asceticism of East Asian Zen monasticism.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore and delineate leadership practices, which could facilitate the transition of Catholic religious institutes into the world of the third millennium, within groups facing the diminishment, and even death, of current forms of religious life. Hermeneutical phenomenology, particularly as developed by Ricoeur, provided the philosophical base for an analysis of the multiple hermeneutical dimensions of culture, human sciences, spirituality and religion. Elements of postmodernism and feminism were also found to be useful starting points. Qualitative research provided the mechanisms out of which meaningful data was elicited and text and context explored. An extensive literature review and individual interviews with thirty women and men in leadership positions in religious institutes formed the basis of the research. Initial findings were tested against the insights of a focus group of religious involved and interested in the future of religious life and its leadership. Additionally, the responses of the leaders of religious congregations in NSW at their annual conference provided a valuable sounding board for the research findings. Core to the study, respondents believed, was a changing concept of God, described in the interviews as 'the larger God', and named as the foundation of contemporary religious commitment. A second fundamental call was pinpointed as that of radical commitment to 'the other'. 'Commitment to, and relationship with, the other' was seen as a critical focus for religious organisations in an increasingly divided and polarised world. For women and men currently in the midst of religious life transition, identity, mission and community were identified as specific orientations from which unfamiliar and emerging forms of 'the larger God' and 'relationship with the other' were examined.;Authenticating leadership was used to describe the form of leadership believed to be necessary during this time of transition to endorse and authenticate the tentative sparks of new life. This leadership was depicted as stimulated by a sense of spiritual dynamism and an outward focus, activating the motivation of the congregation towards 'the larger God' and 'the other'. Energising, empowering and challenging the group were described as intrinsic to these orientations. Demonstrating authenticity, embracing diversity, accepting suffering as the inevitable price of effective contemporary leadership, and 'holding leadership lightly', were also highlighted as essential elements for a leadership aimed at authenticating diverse expressions of new forms of religious life. Two clear leadership practices were named as essential for effective transition during this period of decisive transformation. Consciously managing the disintegration and death of current expressions of religious life, while simultaneously mobilising the energies of small emergent groups to explore and attempt new and diverse forms, were seen as the most difficult, but probably the most critical, challenges for leadership at this time.

Abstract:

Diese Studie befasst sich mit der von der Forschung bisher wenig beachteten Zeit zwischen den großen Päpste Alexander III und Innozenz. Ihr Ziel ist es, Einblick zu gewinnen in die Wechselbeziehungen von Päpsten und Orden und zu analysieren, vor welchen Problemen beide Parteien am Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts standen und wie sie damit umgingen. Das Quellenkorpus für diese Arbeit bilden die knapp 200 päpstlichen Urkunden, die für die Ordensleitung oder die Mutterhäuser ausgewählter Orden, Verbände oder Klöster ausgestellt wurden. Als Ergänzung zu den Papsturkunden erweitern, soweit vorhanden, die jeweiligen institutiones der Orden und die Generalkapitelsbeschlüsse aus dem fraglichen Zeitraum das Quellenmaterial. Gemeinsam mit den Päpsten versuchten die Oberhäupter der religiösen Institutionen, den wirtschaftlichen und spirituellen Schwierigkeiten, die gegen Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts auftraten, Abhilfe zu verschaffen. Deshalb eignen sich die Papsturkunden dieser Zeit, um im Umkehrschluss Einblick in die wirtschaftliche und spirituelle Lage bei deren Empfängern zu gewinnen. Allerdings kann man davon ausgehen, dass die Ordensleitung nur dann die aufwändige Reise an die Kurie angetreten und um die Hilfe des Papstes gebeten hat, wenn sie ihre Probleme nicht mehr aus eigener Kraft lösen konnte, so dass man in den erhaltenen Papsturkunden nur die Extremfälle wirtschaftlichen und disziplinarischen Verfalls vor sich hat. Umso bemerkenswerter ist es, dass die Papsturkunden nahezu aller in dieser Studie untersuchten Verbände Rückschlüsse auf krisenhafte Zustände erlauben. Nur in seltenen Fällen – wenn ein scandalum entweder schon vorlag oder drohte - basierten päpstliche Maßnahmen nicht auf Initiativen aus den Orden. Die Ordensleitung benötigte wiederum die päpstliche Autorität, um ihren Reformmaßnahmen Durchsetzungskraft zu verleihen. Zu einem Eingreifen aus eigenem Antrieb sah sich die Kurie nur dann verpflichtet, wenn die Zustände in einem Verband derart zerrüttet waren, dass das daraus resultierende scandalum das Ansehen der gesamten Kirche zu beschädigen drohte. Dabei spielte es keine Rolle, welches propositum die Religiosen hatten, ob sie die Augustinus-, die Benediktsregel oder eine eigene befolgten, ja nicht einmal ob es sich um einen (wie auch immer organisierten) Verband oder ein Einzelkloster handelte – von der allgemeinen wirtschaftlichen und spirituellen Krise des späten 12. Jahrhunderts waren sie alle betroffen, wenn auch in unterschiedlichem Maße. Als Ergebnis dieser Untersuchung ist festzustellen: Die päpstlichen Privilegien des späten 12. Jahrhunderts gingen in der Regel auf die Initiative der Orden zurück, die deren Inhalte weitgehend selbst bestimmten, wenngleich für einige Stücke die Mitwirkung der Kurienmitglieder belegt werden kann. Ernsthafte Probleme im wirtschaftlichen, spirituellen und disziplinarischen Bereich hingen regelmäßig mit einem Autoritätsverlust der Verbandsleitung zusammen, sowohl Auslöser als auch Folge dieser krisenhaften Situation. Man kann davon ausgehen, dass der Einfluß der Päpste – oder allgemein der Kurie – auf die Inhalte der Urkunden zunahm, je schwächer die Position der Verbandsleitung war. Aus diesem Umstand resultiert die in den Privilegien dieser Zeit feststellbare Tendenz, die Autorität der Ordensleitung, meist in Gestalt des Abtes des Mutterklosters, zu stärken und seine Kompetenzen zu erweitern. Gleichzeitig mit der Zuspitzung der krisenhaften Situation der Orden und Verbände wuchs der Handlungsspielraum der Päpste. Die zunehmende Handlungsunfähigkeit der Leitung von Orden und Verbänden ermöglichte und erforderte eine neue Qualität der päpstlichen Einflußnahme. Während Lucius III. sich weitgehend darauf beschränkte, Privilegien seiner Vorgänger zu bestätigen, begann Urban III., im Einvernehmen mit den Orden neue Lösungen zu suchen. Mit der Rückkehr der Kurie nach Rom unter Clemens III. stieg die Zahl der zum Zweck der Krisenintervention ausgefertigten Urkunden merklich an, wobei das ausgleichende Temperament dieses Papstes als Faktor nicht außer Acht zu lassen ist. Bemerkenswert ist dabei, dass sich zum Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts hin nicht nur die Menge dieser Urkunden steigerte, sondern auch die Tiefe der päpstlichen Eingriffe zunahm, wenngleich sie in den meisten Fällen im Einklang mit dem Willen der Verbandsleitung standen.

Full text

Abstract:

The Order of Fontevraud, founded in 1100 by the hermit/preacher Robert of Arbrisssel was the only twelfth-century women's order incorporating into its structure a group of chaplains and lay brothers whose specific role was to serve the nuns. This thesis examines the origins of the order and demonstrates that the English foundations were a stage in its development, closely linked to its Angevin connections. Each of the two houses established in England c.l 150 was founded and patronised by supporters of Henry Plantagenet. Westwood, founded by the de Say family, lesser barons from Herefordshire, received a modest endowment. Nuneaton, founded by the magnate Robert, earl of Leicester, was richly endowed. Twenty years later Henry II expelled the Benedictine community from Amesbury replacing it with a group from Fontevraud, thus founding the third house. A fourth, Grovebury, is not treated; it was never a foundation for women. I have studied the process of endowment and shown that the wealth and status of the founder in no small measure determined the future prosperity of the foundation. The internal organisation of the Fontevraud houses has been explored, in particular the balance between local autonomy and dependence on the mother house. As well, I have examined recruitment and shown that this, too, reflected on the circumstances of foundation. My main focus has been on the economy of these three houses, their income and expenditure and the exploitation of their assets. The nuns are seen as a group of women who were dynamic and creative in managing their affairs. This has not precluded an investigation into the spiritual, and in particular, the liturgical dimension of life in the English foundations. Fundamentally the Order of Fontevraud is presented as an opportunity for noble women of England in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries to live religious life in a new order, one renowned for its strict interpretation of the Rule of St Benedict and for the prayerfumess of its members, and one in which women were manifestly in control of their own destinies.

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates the changes in the legal, economic and political status as well as the topographical location of the monasteries in Constantinople between the fourth and the ninth centuries. Roughly from the late fourth up until the end of the sixth century, there was a gradual increase in the number of monasteries. This trend was counterweighted by almost complete silence in the sources throughout the seventh and the eighth centuries. The ninth century, however, constituted a return to the trend of the early centuries. Monks and monasteries "returned" to the city with a vengeance. This "return" was inevitably linked to the prevailing conditions during the previous centuries marked by, first, the final decline of the late Roman world and its institutions, and second, the Iconoclast controversy in Byzantium between the early eighth and the mid-ninth centuries. Overall, following primarily the evidence preserved in the vitae and the acts of the councils, one can conclude that, by the end of the ninth century, the integration of the monks into Byzantine society was complete. The monasteries had become an integral part of Constantinople and its Christian topography.

Goodrich, Richard J. "A temple of living stones : John Cassian's construction of monastic orthodoxy in fifth-century Gaul." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/13243.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines John Cassian's attempts to influence the course of Gallic asceticism through the medium of his first ascetic work, De institutis coenobiorum et de octo principalium vitiorum remediis, I-IV. Rather than viewing Cassian as a cloistered, proto-Benedictine monk or an inept monastic legislator, it attempts to locate him in his broader, Late Antique context. The thesis first argues that the traditional view which holds that Cassian was a monk/abbot of Marseilles is flawed; in fact Cassian wrote his ascetic works while living in the province of Narbonensis Secunda and only moved to Marseilles sometime after AD 430. The thesis then turns to a consideration of the strategies Cassian employed to win a hearing for his ascetic works. It examines how he played on his own experience as the quality that gave him the right to overrule both native Gallic ascetic experiments and the works of other western ascetic writers. It also examines how Cassian created a semi-mythical set of monastic laws (the instituta Aegyptiorum) and used this construct as an additional source of authority for his recommendations. Having established Cassian's method for winning a hearing for his work, the thesis then examines what Cassian offered that was in some way different from the practices offered by his contemporaries. The most important difference was Cassian's emphasis on a literal renunciation of all ties with the world before someone could enter the ascetic life. Finally, this thesis argues that a proposal made by Owen Chadwick in 1968, that certain chapters in Book III of De institutis were later forgeries, is indeed correct. This is demonstrated by examining these chapters in the broader context of Cassian's thought and work. This traditional, textual analysis is then followed by a computerized stylometric study of the disputed passages, which confirms the likelihood that these chapters were written by someone other than John Cassian.
