SUMMARY:Introduction to Liturgical Mystagogy
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. This event will be presented on Zoom (registration required)\, as well as through live-stream on YouTube. This event is presented in collaboration with the Godbearer Institute as part of a Fall webinar lecture series on “Eastern Catholic Theology in Action.” \nFrom the fourth to eighth centuries\, liturgical commentaries flourished to explain the meaning of the sacramental life of the Church. Notably after the fourth century\, the tradition of Jerusalem developed another genre for mystagogy\, namely hymnography. As part of the structure of the liturgical services\, they explain to the faithful what is happening during the services\, rather than before or after the celebration. In this way\, hymnography has an exegetical function\, commenting on scripture and the mystery of salvation in Christ. Dr. Galadza will explore this hymnographic tradition and its relation to the formation of liturgical theology. \n\nEastern Catholic Theology in Action\nDistinct in their liturgy\, theology\, spirituality\, and discipline of Church life\, 23 Eastern Churches are in communion with the Roman Catholic Church. The Second Vatican Council urged the Eastern Catholic Churches to cultivate and promote their unique share of the tradition. This series responds to that mandate and features leading scholars in the field to offer their theological perspectives drawn from the wisdom of Christian East. In view of broadening our understanding of the Catholic intellectual tradition\, this series draws attention to the vantage points of Christians who worship\, think\, and pray in continuity with the first 1\,000 years of the undivided Church. \nThis series is co-presented with the Godbearer Institute and co-sponsored by the Beatrice Institute\, the Calvert House Catholic Center\, the Catholic Theological Union\, the Institute for Faith and Culture\, God With Us Online\, the Harvard Catholic Forum\, the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies\, the Nova Forum\, the Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University\, the Saint Benedict Institute\, the St. Paul University Catholic Center\, St. Stephen Byzantine Catholic Church\, and the Tabor Life Institute. \nUpcoming Series Lectures: \nThursday\, September 10\, 7 p.m. CDT\nA Theology of Wonder: An Introduction to the Poetry of Ephrem the Syrian | Andrew Hayes (University of St. Thomas\, Houston) \nThursday\, September 17\, 7 p.m. CDT\nChrist the Lover of Mankind: Philanthropia\, Mystery\, and Martyria in Eastern Christianity | Robin Darling Young (Catholic University of America) \nThursday\, September 24\, 7 p.m. CDT\nEastern Churches\, Latin Territories: Ecclesial Catholicity and the Notion of Diaspora | Alexander Laschuk (Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies at University of St. Michael’s College) \nThursday\, October 1\, 7.p.m. CDT\nExpanding the Archive: Syriac Literature and the Study of Early Christianity Today | Erin Walsh (University of Chicago) \n— \nMonday\, November 12\, 7 p.m. CDT\nQuo Vadis: The Direction of Eastern Catholic Theology\, a Pastoral Perspective for the 21st Century | Archbishop Borys Gudziak (Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia and Metropolitan of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in the USA)

SUMMARY:A Theology of Wonder: An Introduction to the Poetry of Ephrem the Syrian
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. This event will be presented on Zoom (registration required)\, as well as through live-stream on YouTube. This event is presented in collaboration with the Godbearer Institute as part of a Fall webinar lecture series on “Eastern Catholic Theology in Action.” \nSt. Ephrem is the common teacher of the Syriac theological tradition whose preferred medium is poetry. Named a doctor of the Church by Benedict XV\, Ephrem emphasizes that the ascetical and mystical experience of wonder is the criterion for authentic theologizing. Dr. Hayes will discuss how Ephrem’s notion of wonder purifies our freedom and rendering the whole person a clear and luminous receptacle for the experience of God. \n\nEastern Catholic Theology in Action\nDistinct in their liturgy\, theology\, spirituality\, and discipline of Church life\, 23 Eastern Churches are in communion with the Roman Catholic Church.

SUMMARY:Christ the Lover of Mankind: Philanthropia\, Mystery\, and Martyria in Eastern Christianity
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. This event will be presented on Zoom (registration required)\, as well as through live-stream on YouTube. This event is presented in collaboration with the Godbearer Institute as part of a Fall webinar lecture series on “Eastern Catholic Theology in Action.” \nThree features are common to all Eastern Christian traditions—philanthropia\, mystery\, and martyria. They appear repeatedly in Eastern Christian writing\, ritual\, and personal practice from the preaching of Jesus to the present. Philanthropia\, God’s love for humanity\, prompts the mission of the Logos to provide for humanity’s return to the divine. Mystery\, which paradoxically reveals and conceals\, both in ceremony and in “ordinary” time\, the Logos’ saving events. Martyria is the sign and demonstration of God’s beckoning love and the replication of the “priesthood of all believers.” Dr. Young will explore these themes through examples\, not only from the Greek and Slavic traditions\, but also from those of the Christian traditions of the East\, the Caucasus and Ethiopian Christianity. \n\nEastern Catholic Theology in Action\nDistinct in their liturgy\, theology\, spirituality\, and discipline of Church life\, 23 Eastern Churches are in communion with the Roman Catholic Church. The Second Vatican Council urged the Eastern Catholic Churches to cultivate and promote their unique share of the tradition.

SUMMARY:Eastern Churches\, Latin Territories: Ecclesial Catholicity and the Notion of Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. This event will be presented on Zoom (registration required)\, as well as through live-stream on YouTube. This event is presented in collaboration with the Godbearer Institute as part of a Fall webinar lecture series on “Eastern Catholic Theology in Action.” \nAccording to the teaching of the Second Vatican Council\, all Eastern Catholic Churches have same rights and obligations as the Latin Church and are equal in dignity. They also share the obligation to preach the Gospel to the whole world. At the same time\, the jurisdiction of the Eastern Churches is circumscribed to the notion of canonical territory. Inside this territory\, the hierarchy has certain rights\, while outside this territory there are numerous limitations. The talk will first discuss the notion of the Church sui iuris and the understanding of the Catholic Church as a communion of Churches. Second\, it will then examine the idea of canonical territory in the Catholic Church. Historical roots of the juridical concept will be examined before looking at the current theological and canonical expression. Finally\, the notion of canonical territory as currently existing will be critically examined\, with special attention to the conciliar teachings as well as ecumenical implications. \n\nEastern Catholic Theology in Action\nDistinct in their liturgy\, theology\, spirituality\, and discipline of Church life\, 23 Eastern Churches are in communion with the Roman Catholic Church. The Second Vatican Council urged the Eastern Catholic Churches to cultivate and promote their unique share of the tradition.
