Book Building Your Digital Sanctuary

Download or read book Building Your Digital Sanctuary written by Brandan J. Robertson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the digital revolution faster than anyone expected. In a few weeks, faith communities around the world were thrust into developing fully digital ministries—some doing it well, and others struggling along the way. However, this moment of crisis opened the opportunity for all faith communities to reach unprecedented numbers of people and truly become ministries without walls. Yet many churches have failed to fully incorporate a digital vision into their long-term plan for ministry and have largely reverted to “in-person” programs and services because of a lack of direction on how to build high quality and sustainable digital ministries. Building Your Digital Sanctuary is an introductory guide for pastors and communications teams on how to lay the foundation of an impactful and sustainable digital sanctuary alongside your “in-person” ministries. Drawing on the wisdom of some of digital ministry experts, this practical guide will provide the inspiration and insight churches need to minister in the emerging digital age.

Download or read book Building Sanctuary written by Jessica Squires and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2013-09-20 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada enjoys a reputation as a peaceable kingdom and a refuge from militarism.Yet Canadians during the Vietnam War era met American war resisters not with open arms but with political obstacles and public resistance, and the border remained closed to what were then called “draft dodgers” and “deserters.” Between 1965 and 1973, a small but active cadre of Canadian antiwar groups and peace activists launched campaigns to open the border. Jessica Squires tells their story, often in their own words. Interviews and government documents reveal that although these groups ultimately met with success – in the process shaping Canadian identity and Canada’s relationship with the United States – they had to overcome state surveillance and resistance from police, politicians, and bureaucrats. Building Sanctuary not only brings to light overlooked links between the anti-draft movement and Canadian immigration policy – it challenges cherished notions about Canadian identity and Canada in the 1960s.

Book The Purity and Sanctuary of the Body in Second Temple Judaism

Download or read book The Purity and Sanctuary of the Body in Second Temple Judaism written by Hannah K. Harrington and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2019-08-12 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study traces the emergence of the concept of the body as a sanctuary from its biblical roots to its expressions in late Second Temple Judaism. Harrington's hypothesis is that the destruction of the first Jerusalem temple was a catalyst for a new reality vis-à-vis the temple and the emergence of increased emphasis on the holiness of the people along with concomitant standards of purity in a certain stream of Judaism. The study brings into relief elements of this attitude from exilic texts, e.g. Ezekiel, to Ezra-Nehemiah, the Dead Sea Scrolls and other Second Temple Jewish texts, including early Jesus and Pauline traditions. The goal is to provide a history of the concept of the body-cum-temple metaphor which comes to its fullest expression in the letters of Paul to the Corinthians. The concept of the body as a sanctuary as it comes to fruition in late second temple Judaism must be understood within the conceptual world of Jewish holiness of the time. The metaphor of the temple provides a frame of reference but only a close analysis of the concepts of holiness, purity, and impurity and the dynamics between them can provide depth and distinction. Of particular importance, critical to proper understanding of the temple metaphor, are the notions of the elect, holy status of Israel and its possible desecration by wrongful sexual relations, the loss of the temple and the ripple effect of creating at least temporary substitutes for processes of the cult, the widespread concern in Second Temple Judaism for ritual purity in support of greater holiness, and a desire among Jews for the residence and agency of the spirit of holiness.

Book Seeking Sanctuary

  • Author : Shannon McSheffrey
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2017-06-23
  • ISBN : 0192519115
  • Pages : 288 pages

Download or read book Seeking Sanctuary written by Shannon McSheffrey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeking Sanctuary explores a curious aspect of premodern English law: the right of felons to shelter in a church or ecclesiastical precinct, remaining safe from arrest and trial in the king's courts. This is the first volume in more than a century to examine sanctuary in England in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Looking anew at this subject challenges the prevailing assumptions in the scholarship that this 'medieval' practice had become outmoded and little-used by the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Although for decades after 1400 sanctuary-seeking was indeed fairly rare, the evidence in the legal records shows the numbers of felons seeing refuge in churches began to climb again in the late fifteenth century and reached its peak in the period between 1525 and 1535. Sanctuary was not so much a medieval practice accidentally surviving into the early modern era, as it was an organism that had continued to evolve and adapt to new environments and indeed flourished in its adapted state. Sanctuary suited the early Tudor regime: it intersected with rapidly developing ideas about jurisdiction and provided a means of mitigating the harsh capital penalties of the English law of felony that was useful not only to felons but also to the crown and the political elite. Sanctuary's resurgence after 1480 means we need to rethink how sanctuary worked, and to reconsider more broadly the intersections of culture, law, politics, and religion in the years between 1400 and 1550.

Book The Sanctuary of Hermes and Aphrodite at Syme Viannou VII  Vol  2

Download or read book The Sanctuary of Hermes and Aphrodite at Syme Viannou VII Vol 2 written by Antonis Kotsonas and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2024-02-15 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An archaeological study of Greek and Roman pottery recovered from the excavation of Syme Viannou The Sanctuary of Hermes and Aphrodite at Syme Viannou VII: The Greek and Roman Pottery presents in two volumes the Greek and Roman pottery recovered from the excavation of Syme Viannou. The sanctuary of Syme Viannou is renowned as one of the most long-lived and important cult sites of ancient Crete and the Aegean, dedicated to Hermes and Aphrodite in the Greek and Roman periods. The sanctuary was active from the early second millennium BC to the late first millennium AD and attracted visitors from much of the eastern half of Crete. This study catalogs and analyzes a body of approximately 865 pieces, dating from across the entire period in which the sanctuary was in use and exhibiting a wide range of shapes and types. Integrating traditional typological and chronological inquiries, contextual considerations, macroscopic and petrographic analyses of ceramic fabrics, and quantitative studies, this work provides detailed documentation of the pottery from Syme Viannou and explores its ritual and other roles within the diachronic panorama of cultic and other activities at the site. This book will be of interest to archaeologists, ceramologists, and historians of ancient Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean.

  • Release : 2010-10-31
  • ISBN : 1621390004
  • Pages : 471 pages

Download or read book The Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore written by Nancy Bookidis and published by American School of Classical Studies at Athens. This book was released on 2010-10-31 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth part of the Corinth volume dedicated to the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore publishes the large-scale terracotta sculpture found in the sanctuary. Extending from the late 7th through the 4th century B.C., the sculpture consists of fragments from 132 to as many as 147 statues, from half- to nearly life-size. These are, for the most part, statues of young males, both draped and nude, although females and seated infants appear as well. Several introductory chapters discuss the types represented, the findspots and possible original placement of the sculptures, and the techniques involved in their construction. The fragments are presented in 156 well-illustrated catalogue entries. This volume greatly expands our knowledge of the history of Corinth, broadening our understanding both of cult practices at the site and of the manufacture of terracotta sculpture.

Book The Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore

Download or read book The Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore written by Sonia Klinger and published by American School of Classical Studies at Athens. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the terracotta miscellaneous finds from the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore at Acrocorinth. The finds comprise 21 classes, including protomes and masks, altars, plaques, models of various personal and household items, and loomweights and other textile tools (the latter initially studied by Gloria S. Merker and brought to publication by Nancy Bookidis). In addition to providing a catalogue of the finds arranged according to their subjects, the authors compare these finds with similar objects found elsewhere in Greece and refer to literary, epigraphical, and visual sources to understand their possible uses and meanings and the character of religious activity that may have triggered their dedication in the sanctuary. This volume will greatly facilitate comparative studies of ancient Greek miscellaneous finds and will be an important reference for historians of Greek art as well as of Greek religion.
