Download or read book An Irish Sanctuary written by Gisela Holfter and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monograph provides the first comprehensive, detailed account of German-speaking refugees in Ireland 1933-1945 - where they came from, immigration policy towards them and how their lives turned out in Ireland and afterwards. Thanks to unprecedented access to thousands of files of the Irish Department of Justice (all still officially closed) as well as extensive archive research in Ireland, Germany, England, Austria as well as the US and numerous interviews it is possible for the first time to give an almost complete overview of how many people came, how they contributed to Ireland, how this fits in with the history of migration to Ireland and what can be learned from it. While Exile studies are a well-developed research area and have benefited from the work of research centres and archives in Germany, Austria, Great Britain and the USA (Frankfurt/M, Leipzig, Hamburg, Berlin, Innsbruck, Graz, Vienna, London and SUNY Albany and the Leo Baeck Institutes), Ireland was long neglected in this regard. Instead of the usual narrative of "no one was let in" or "only a handful came to Ireland" the authors identified more than 300 refugees through interviews and intensive research in Irish, German and Austrian archives. German-speaking exiles were the first main group of immigrants that came to the young Irish Free State from 1933 onwards and they had a considerable impact on academic, industrial and religious developments in Ireland.
Download or read book The Glenstal Book of Icons written by Gregory Collins and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the same Irish monastery that gave us the best-selling The Glenstal Book of Prayer, with over 150, -000 copies sold worldwide! The Glenstal Book of Icons presents meditations and prayers on a selection of icons from the Glenstal Abbey Icon Chapel. The process is that of lectio divina, where the icon itself is the text to be read and considered, leading to a meditation on the text - or icon - which in turn leads to prayer. Each icon is reproduced in full color. A substantial introduction places the icon in its context in Eastern Christianity, looks at the theology of icons and then at the Eastern approach to praying with icons. Special emphasis is given to The Jesus Prayer which is then used in various forms throughout the meditations which follow. Gregory Collins, OSB, is a monk of Glenstal Abbey, Ireland.

Download or read book Renewal and Resistance written by Paul Collins and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman Catholic Church has always been concerned with the quality of the music used in the liturgy, and the essays in this volume trace the church's efforts, during the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth, to cultivate a more appropriate liturgical music for its Latin Rite. The task of restoration - expressed, for example, in the chant revival associated with the monks of Solesmes, the efforts of the Cecilian movement, and Pius X's determination to reform sacred music in the universal church - is a recurring theme in the book. Meanwhile resistance, particularly to the reforms decreed by the pope's 1903 motu proprio, also finds a voice in the volume. The essays collected here describe selected scenes and episodes from the unending story of imperfect human beings trying to express in their music the perfection of God.

Download or read book Elite Schooling and Social Inequality written by Aline Courtois and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first significant sociological study of Ireland’s elite private schools. It takes the reader behind the gates of these secretive institutions, and offers a compelling analysis of their role in the reproduction of social inequality in Ireland. From the selection process to past pupils’ union events, from the dorms to the rugby pitch, the book unravels how these schools gradually reinforce exclusionary practices and socialize their students to power and privilege. It tackles the myths of meritocracy and classlessness in Ireland, while also providing keys to understanding the social practices and legitimacy of elites. By bringing out the voices of past pupils, parents and school staff and incorporating vivid ethnographic descriptions, the book provides a rare snapshot into a privileged world largely hidden from view. It offers a unique contribution to research on elite education as well as to the broader fields of sociology of education and inequality. As such, it will appeal to researchers, practitioners and the general public alike, in Ireland and beyond.

Book excerpt: "Jack Shainman Gallery is pleased to present 'Faith' Jackie Nickerson's second solo exhibition at the gallery. 'Faith' is a compelling portrayal of a hidden world, the Catholic religious orders of Ireland. Nickerson was granted unprecedented access to places that have never been seen before by outsiders. For two-and-a-half years, Nickerson photographed inside the churches, convents and abbeys of Ireland. 'Faith' juxtaposes gentle portraits with straightforward images of daily rituals and communal devotion - neatly swept wooden floors on long corridors, sunny libraries attended by Virgin Mary figurines - to suggest an austere existence grounded in optimism, strength and contentment."--Gallery website.

Book excerpt: Acomprehensive survey of the ways in which Irish men and women have sought, and continue to seek, God by following the Rule of St Benedict. The essays - taken from the first Glenstal history conference - celebrate and explore the stories of these Irish Benedictines over a period of 1400 years. Their following 'the path of the Lord's commands' brought them across Dark Age Europe, through Reformation England and war-torn Europe and into modern Africa. In exile and persecution they established centres of learning and refuge; returning to Ireland they continue to devote themselves to these activities, seeking to glorify God in all things. Glenstal Abbey is a Benedictine community located in Murroe, Co Limerick. The Abbey was founded in 1927 from Maredsous in Belgium and became the first male Benedictine community in Ireland since the reformation. It was founded in memory of abbot Columba Marmion, a Dublin priest, who became Abbot of Maredsous in 1909 and did in 1923. The community runs a guest house, farm and boarding school for boys.

As global travel becomes more accessible, new opportunities arise for these journeys to be spiritually significant.

In engaging narratives of his worldwide voyages, he follows in the footsteps of spiritual pilgrims from across the centuries, from Luther in Wartburg to Spurgeon in England. His travels to landmark places from Iona to Assisi give him not only a better understanding of his Christian heritage, but also of God's inner work in pilgrims throughout history and today. Come with Christian as he breaks bread with Benedictines in Ireland and worships with the Taizé community in France. Experience the transforming power of spiritual pilgrimage. And discover what it means to be a pilgrim as you follow God wherever he leads.
