Abstract:

[Although the ordained order of deaconesses vanished in the Byzantine Church, some women continued to fulfill, either informally or formally, various liturgical functions in public church life. The author examines1 the art-historical and textual evidence of three groups of women: noblewomen who participated as incense-bearers in a weekly procession in Constantinople; matrons who helped organize and keep order in a monastic church open to the public in Constantinople; and the possibly ordained order of myrrhbearers in the Church of Jerusalem.]

Abstract:

Anglo-Saxon monastic archaeology has been constrained by the limited scale of past investigations and their overriding emphasis on core buildings. This paper draws upon the results of an ongoing campaign of archaeological research that is redressing the balance through an ambitious programme of open-area excavation at Lyminge, Kent, the site of a royal double monastery founded in the seventh century ad. The results of five completed fieldwork seasons are assessed and contextualised in a narrative sequence emphasising the dynamic character of Lyminge as an Anglo-Saxon monastic settlement. In so doing, the study brings into sharp focus how early medieval monasteries were emplaced in the landscape, with specific reference to Anglo-Saxon Kent, a regional context offering key insights into how the process of monastic foundation redefined antecedent central places of long-standing politico-religious significance and social action.

Abstract:

through virtues of thought. Through our actions and attitudes toward scholarly work and through the academic expectations we place upon our students, we represent and convey certain beliefs about the ethics of teaching and learning One of the most valuable intellectual capacities we can foster in our students is the art of being curious. As a state of inquisitive attention to the world, curiosity embodies both intellectual and moral virtues. By drawing on the medieval monastic unity of intellectual and moral life, traditional religious practices such as hospitality, obedience, and charity can be applied to academic work. By cultivating students' intellectual curiosity, we encourage in them a more balanced set of scholarly skills and attitudes, and we help them to grow in wisdom, kindness, and generosity.

Abstract:

Considering visual culture alongside written source material, this article uncovers the socioeconomic aspect of Korean Buddhist monastic life, which has been a marginalized field of research. Arguing against the idea of an “other-worldly” Buddhism, the article specifically discusses the ways in which Buddhist monasteries conducted fundraising activities in late Koryŏ period (918–1392 CE) Korea. Via fundraising strategies, which targeted wealthy aristocrats as well as the commoner population, Buddhist monks managed the production and maintenance of Buddhist material culture, such as the construction of shrines, the casting of precious sculptures, and the carving of thousands of woodblocks used for the printing of sacred Buddhist scriptures. While the scholarship on Koryŏ Buddhism has traditionally focused on meditation, doctrine, state sponsored rituals, and temples’ relationships with the royal court, this study expands the field by showing that economic activities were salient features of Koryŏ Buddhism “on the ground.” By initiating and overseeing fundraising activities, Buddhist manager-monks not only gained merit, but also maintained the presence and physical appearance of Buddhist temples, which constitute the framework of Buddhist ritual and practice.

Abstract:

Abstract The paper examines the idioms of dignity and respect in addressing elderly individuals within Buddhist monastic publics in reformed China. It analyzes the use of three common address terms—jushi, shixiong, and lao pusa—and other phrasings as observed during fieldwork in Buddhist temples in Eastern and Southern China in the 2010s. By introducing the concept of “Buddhist monastic publics,” the study illuminates the dynamic interplay between a resident monastic life and the casual encounters of temple-goers. Address patterns are contextualized within the historical tension between monastic and lay statuses in a state-centric, Han-majority society, revealing fluctuating boundaries of inclusivity and exclusivity in Han Buddhist temple interactions. Overall, this study offers anthropological insights into the evolving dynamics of respect and recognition within contemporary Chinese Buddhist sociality. It highlights the diversity of discursive forms that inform and shape this social fabric, contributing to an interactionist interpretation of Buddhist temple engagement.

Abstract:

This paper presents some preliminary observations on Sufi Muslim shrines or retreats in the Ethiopian Wällo region, places where local Muslim holy men or ‘saints’ lead the faithful and act as religious mediators and advisors. Some of these retreats of Sufi Muslims have a ‘monastic’ character, and allow males and females a life of reflection and devotion to God. An obvious parallel with Christian monasteries presents itself, referring to a partly shared religious culture. Some reflections on the extent and nature of this similarity are made, and the need for a fresh approach to the study of religion in Ethiopia/Africa, in the context of contemporary debates about religious identity and the hardening of communal boundaries, is underlined.

Abstract:

Rural monasteries reflect the dependence on religion and agriculture with their space organization, function, and the lifestyle of the religious communities. Although conservation and reuse of monasteries are significant methods for transferring the knowledge of these religious heritage sites and their historical religious habits, many monastery buildings are threatened by abandonment, neglect, and idleness in Cyprus. This is mainly due to political and social reasons, which resulted in the loss of their connection with groups’ religious communities. This study mainly focuses on the nine monasteries which are located in the Karpas Peninsula. This paper discusses the lack of proper conservation activities for abandoned monasteries in Northern Cyprus, particularly with rural medieval monasteries located on the Karpas Peninsula. Concepts, such as adaptive reuse of monasteries and cultural routes, are noted in the state of the art section which formed the basis of the case studies included in this paper. The study underlines the significance of monasteries and monastic life in Northern Cyprus and discusses the current material as well as structural problems of these structures. Further to this, a proposal in respect of the construction of the monasteries’ route is made. Finally, the importance of the restoration and reuse of these monasteries and their possible contribution to tourism, gastronomic, and religious experiences are noted.

Abstract:

Objective: based on correspondence and memoirs, to explore the work of a professional historian who uses the region of his temporary habitation, in order to collect materials for his own research interests. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism, objectivity, systematization, religious impartiality, and worldview pluralism. This made it possible to consider the processes that took place in the Pochaiv Monastery and were caused by state-political and religious-confessional changes, which were reflected in the historical progress of this Volyn monastery. Scientific novelty. The stay of a scientist and a Christian in the largest monastery of the region, which attracted a researcher as a historical object and a pilgrim, as a Christian monastery, was analyzed. The past is presented universally: a) in the context of the profession of a scientist who visits historical sites, studies various sources, collects oral evidence, folklore materials; b) from point of view of a pilgrim traveler who honors monastic shrines, observes the peculiarities of monastic life, the psychology of the inhabitants of the monastery, notes the presence of other Christian objects in the orbit of monastic activity. The urgency stems from the tasks of comprehensive study of the past of Ukrainian monasteries - centers of spirituality, education, culture and art. The urgency is also conditioned due to the contribution of Pochaiv monastery in the process of creating national cultural heritage. The state of the research of the problems of the Pochayiv Monastery requires in-depth study of issues related to various aspects of the functioning of the largest Christian monastery in Volyn. Conclusions. Mykola Kostomarov memoirs and correspondence about his stay in the Pochaiv Monastery,which reflect the life of the monastery after Volhynia became part of Russia,allow us to understand the confessional atmosphere in the newly annexed territories. They are a kind of source that will help novice scholars to understand the diversity of the historian s work, which is based on the documentary diversity of the era they are studying. Continuation of the search for and elaboration of new materials related to the biography of Mykola Kostomarov will further reveal the scientific potential of this person, will complement the knowledge about his achievements in the field of historiography.

Abstract:

The article discusses an important feature of Pavel Florensky’s biography and legacy that has not been properly covered by the existing research. Florensky is a well-known religious philosopher, the author of The Pillar and Ground of the Truth and lectures on the philosophy of cult and the philosophy of art. Russian theologists tend to perceive his ideas on a par with Sergei Bulgakov’s sophiology, in line with the modernizing trends of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which are characterized positively or negatively, depending on the preferences of scholars. The article identifies and comments on some basic facts that testify to Florensky’s desire to preserve intact the dogmata, the canons and the sacraments of the Orthodox Church. It highlights Florensky’s ideas directed against the concept of progress in the religious consciousness of mankind and the associated theory of “dogmatic development”. The main attention is drawn to Florensky’s position and actions during the upheavals of 1905–1907 and after the February Revolution of 1917. His eﬀorts to preserve the liturgical and monastic life in the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius and other characteristic moments of his work under the Soviets are detailed. The main conclusion is that, although Florensky’s works contain ambiguous concepts and theologoumena, he should still be regarded as a conservative thinker who always had in mind the main goal for which the Orthodox Church existed.

Scientific researchers in the Republic of Moldova have re-dimensioned their historiographical discourse on religious life, including monastic settlements. Archival investigations have been carried out, archaeological excavations have been carried out, and field realities have been studied by sight. We note a diversity of scientific production in the field of monasteries in the Republic of Moldova: articles, studies, monographs, encyclopaedias.

Abstract:

One of contemporary society’s acute problem is moral state of its members, which needs a perfecting through permanent education of ethic standards. Art, as other domain, tackles this problem, but from its own view point. It reflects different moral ethic ideals during its development stages, which influence conscience of respective epoch people. In this way, art presents it self in double hypostasis – to reproduce the moral state of human society in a certain historical moment, and to help the speading of ethic ideas that will contribute to its spiritual education and development. The work of art becomes an object of study for the general viewer and requires him to mobilize his intellectual faculty to understand the proposed „message”. Art is the privileged way to remove man from the conflict zone of life, caused by various historical and social factors. Existential drama, expressed through moral suffering, is present in various genres of art with an emphasis on historical, religious composition, etc., but it is also avoided by artists who paint static natures, landscapes, nudes. Artists of the contemporary period, captivated by plastic and non-figurative technological effects, avoid analyzing the current social impact, rediscovering moral and ethical values and reflecting them in his work.

Abstract:

Faith in God also enables individuals to make sense of their lives in the midst of chaos and to find meaning and purpose in life�s challenges, a sense of peace and security, especially during difficult times, It can provide hope for a brighter future and a sense of assurance that no matter what life throws our way, God is always with us, knowing that God will never leave them and that He has a plan for their lives. The debate on creation versus evolution is an ongoing, heated debate that has been going on for many years. The debate is between those who believe that God created the universe and those who believe that evolution is the process by which the universe was created. Creationists believe that the Bible is literal and that God created the world in six days. Evolutionists believe that the universe developed over billions of years through natural processes. The debate is ongoing because there is no clear answer to the question of how the universe was created. The evidence for both sides is inconclusive, with no one side able to definitively prove their point of view. The issue of faith and unbelief in God in 21st century society is a complex one. It is important to remember that everyone has the right to make their own decisions when it comes to their beliefs and that there is no one right answer, the important thing is to respect the beliefs of others, no matter what they may be. Alternative sources of spiritual guidance, such as meditation, mindfulness and yoga can take the place of a higher, omniscient and omnipresent Being to whom are attributed all the positive traits that he imprints on people in the form of moral and ethical values, without denying the positive aspects that they have on the human mind and on physical well-being? Therewith, the internet has provided access to a variety of religious perspectives, so more people are exposed to different beliefs and the idea of religious diversity. There is also a growing sense of skepticism about faith among many people. With the rise of science and the prevalence of �fake news�, people are increasingly questioning the validity of religious claims. In the last 10 years, with the emergence of several types of manifestations, several surveys have been conducted in many countries of the world regarding belief in God, the weight of religion in everyday life and people's attitude toward faith. The results were surprising because it could be observed that more and more people perceive the relation to faith and to the Divinity in a completely different way than in the previous centuries. Given the above, it is necessary to try to find answers to some questions that may give us a better understanding of the human-Divinity relationship in the society of the 21st century. Does today's society still believe in God and the moral laws promoted by the church? When and why did people begin to give up belief in God? Why is there a growing sense of skepticism about faith? Are people now more likely to question the traditional beliefs? Do people belive in God in 21st century society or this is the century of unbelif and theism? 21st century society - a society of faith in God, a society of unbelif or a society of atheism? Faith in God remains a powerful force in the world today?

Abstract:

Color has always been an important component of a person's perception of the overall picture � this applies to art, religion, and individual worldviews. In different epochs and cultures, different, but always important meanings were conveyed with color, certain colors were associated with what was most significant and valuable for a people or a representative of a religious tradition. The blue color is exceptional in this sense � for a long time it was not paid attention at all, but once appearing on the canvases of Renaissance artists, it spread its influence on the culture, art, and social life of Europe. In this study, we will determine the significance of the blue color in various world cultures that preceded the Renaissance, to make sure that it reaches its culmination point at this time. We pay special attention to the great Italian painter and architect Raffaello Santi, whose works have become synonymous with beauty, harmony, grace, and perfection in art. In the colors of Raffaello, stories, feelings, relationships of characters are hidden, they contain the secret of harmony, sublimity, and uniqueness of his canvases. This work offers a look at Raffaello�s work through these paints, their colors, and shades, which, combined with the unique style and innate talent of the artist, have become the embodiment of the image of beauty that all philosophers have been talking about for many thousands of years.

Abstract:

The study focuses on the late 19th century city as an equivalent of the formation of a modern society. In fiction, especially in novels, the depiction of the 19th/20th century city has always attracted attention as a reflection of the formation of modern society through portrayals of both daily life and the development trends of the era's ideas. Writer, publicist, social activist Augusts Deglavs (1862�1922) created a unique portrait of the modernization of the city in Latvian literature with his novel �Riga� (�Riga�) (part 1 in 1912, part 2 in 1921). The novel demonstrates the awakening of Latvians and their formation as a cultural nation in a multicultural society in the conditions of double colonialism in the second half of the 19th century. One of the focal points of the novel is the diverse spectrum of cultural practices in an emerging industrial and multicultural society. The novel shows that cultural practices are determined by power hegemony and confrontation, various social experiences, ethnic, professional, religious affiliations, ideologies, behavioural norms and mass cultural emancipation. The research was conducted in a culture-oriented perspective, involving the social sciences and the current interdisciplinary approach. The approach of Cultural Studies and New Historicism method are used, with which it is possible to discover how Augusts Deglavs� novel is rooted in the cultural practices, circulation of ideas and historical developments of the era. New Historicism looks at literature as one of the voices in the polyphony of history or an era, a voice which can sound just as powerful in content as the voice of history and culture itself, because literature is one of the links in the chain of cultural processes.

Abstract:

The weather conditions in Kuwait impose a difficult HVAC building operation due to the hot and arid climate. Most of the time, high ambient temperatures in Kuwait exceed 48° C, which result in difficult indoor comfort condition. Mosques are religious buildings with intermittent occupancy, due to their special cultural and religious requirements. In fact, prayers schedule is scattered throughout five daily times, with a maximum use around noon times on Fridays only. In addition, the number of mosques is increasing, due to population growth, and imposes high electrical load requirements on the public authorities in Kuwait. This paper demonstrates and analyzes thermal behavior of a typical mosque in the state of Kuwait. An energy audit is performed using state of the art building energy simulation software (Visual DOE 4.1). The simulation tool is intended to analyze the thermal behavior of the audited mosques and is used to asses potential energy conservation opportunities for future mosque design in Kuwait. Data collection including drawings, site visits and total daily kWh monitoring are performed to carry out the simulation analysis. It is found that an annual energy use savings up to 72% can be achieved through improvements of buildings envelope designs and operating strategies. In addition, life cycle cost LCC analysis is performed to make economical assessment of the energy conservation measures that are evaluated in this study. It was found that a LCC saving around 40% can be achieved with a simple payback period of less than 4 years.

Abstract:

The article presents a study of the seven most common images of nature phenomena in folklore (the sun, the moon, the stars, the day, the night, the wind, the rain) in Colombian riddles. The riddle is one of the oldest genres of oral folk art, a means of preserving cultural memory, educating ingenuity and creative thinking. The article reflects the stages of the development of Colombian riddles from the appearance of the enigmatic genre in Europe, the popularization of the riddle in Spanish, its export to the New World to the acquisition of national-specific Colombian features that accumulated the features of European, Indigenous and African cultures. The material of the article was about 300 Colombian riddles, most of which were taken from collections of traditional riddles of the departments of Colombia; riddles posted in Colombian Internet sources. The article also presents the results of a linguistic experiment conducted among Russian and Colombian youth to solve Colombian riddles in Spanish. The main research methods are semantic, interpretative, linguoculturological analysis, cultural commentary. The main objective of the article is to analyze the ethnolinguistic features of the figurative representation of nature in the Colombian linguoculture, as well as to find out how modern youth understands the metaphorical description of natural phenomena in riddles. The article finds that the Colombian riddles combine traditional Spanish cryptic texts and the realities of everyday life, cultural and religious associations peculiar to Colombia. Refs 8.

Abstract:

The urban process or commonly called urbanization is a phenomenon that is occurring in several regions in Indonesia. In 2045, the projection results show 61.7% of Indonesia's population will live in urban areas. In the process, cities in Indonesia are facing several challenges related to Urban Infrastructure, decent and affordable housing, clean environment, local economic, slum, and urban poor (Social welfare). These indicators can have a positive impact on increasing the city index with healthy city categories, but also can have a negative impact with the increasing gap between the poor and the rich. The purposes of this study are to find out which cities in Indonesia fall into the category of healthy cities and to find out what factors and actors play a role in building healthy cities in Indonesia. The analytical method in this study is log frame analysis. The result is building healthy cities is closely related to the availability of aspects of life in urban areas: health services, environmental, and socioeconomic aspects. There are 3 cities in Indonesia: Palembang, Solo and Denpasar City. Building a healthy city is also an effort in improving health status, health facilities, cleanliness, garbage services, food availability, clean water, security, safety, park facilities, public transportation, art and culture facilities, housing, urban economics, religious facilities, and urban planning quality. Healthy cities in Indonesia will be achieved if efforts to improve not only physical health but also mental, social, economic and spiritual health are achieved. Finally, building a healthy city in Indonesia is an effort to contribute to sustainable urban development.

Full text

Abstract:

In his book The Long Truce (Spence Publishing, 2001) the late A. J. Conyers argues that tolerance, as practiced in western democracies, is not a public virtue; it is a political strat- egy employed to establish power and guarantee profits. Tolerance, of course, seemed to be a reasonable response to the religious wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but tolerance based upon indifference to all values except political power and materialism relegated ultimate questions of meaning to private life. Conyers offers another model for tolerance based upon values and resources already resident in pre-Reformation Christianity. In this paper, we consider Conyer’s case against the modern, secular form of tolerance and its current practice. We examine his attempt to reclaim the practice of Christian tolerance based upon humility, hospitality and the “powerful fact” of the incarnation. Furthermore, we bring the late Conyers into dialog with Fethullah Gülen, a Muslim scholar, prolific writer and the source of inspiration for a transnational civil society movement. We explore how both Conyers and Gülen interpret their scriptures in order to fashion a theology and politi- cal ideology conducive to peaceful co-existence. Finally, because Gülen’s identity has been formed within the Sufi tradition, we reflect on the spiritual resources within Sufi spirituality that make dialog and toleration key values for him. Conyers locates various values, practices and convictions in the Christian message that pave the way for authentic toleration. These include humility, trust, reconciliation, the interrelat- edness of all things, the paradox of power--that is, that strength is found in weakness and greatness in service—hope, the inherent goodness of creation, and interfaith dialog. Conyers refers to this latter practice as developing “the listening heart” and “the open soul.” In his writings and oral addresses, Gülen prefers the term hoshgoru (literally, “good view”) to “tolerance.” Conceptually, the former term indicates actions of the heart and the mind that include empathy, inquisitiveness, reflection, consideration of the dialog partner’s context, and respect for their positions. The term “tolerance” does not capture the notion of hoshgoru. Elsewhere, Gülen finds even the concept of hoshgoru insufficient, and employs terms with more depth in interfaith relations, such as respect and an appreciation of the positions of your dialog partner. The resources Gülen references in the context of dialog and empathic acceptance include the Qur’an, the prophetic tradition, especially lives of the companions of the Prophet, the works of great Muslim scholars and Sufi masters, and finally, the history of Islamic civilization. Among his Qur’anic references, Gülen alludes to verses that tell the believers to represent hu- mility, peace and security, trustworthiness, compassion and forgiveness (The Qur’an, 25:63, 25:72, 28:55, 45:14, 17:84), to avoid armed conflicts and prefer peace (4:128), to maintain cordial relationships with the “people of the book,” and to avoid argumentation (29:46). But perhaps the most important references of Gülen with respect to interfaith relations are his readings of those verses that allow Muslims to fight others. Gülen positions these verses in historical context to point out one by one that their applicability is conditioned upon active hostility. In other words, in Gülen’s view, nowhere in the Qur’an does God allow fighting based on differences of faith. An important factor for Gülen’s embracing views of empathic acceptance and respect is his view of the inherent value of the human. Gülen’s message is essentially that every human person exists as a piece of art created by the Compassionate God, reflecting aspects of His compassion. He highlights love as the raison d’etre of the universe. “Love is the very reason of existence, and the most important bond among beings,” Gülen comments. A failure to approach fellow humans with love, therefore, implies a deficiency in our love of God and of those who are beloved to God. The lack of love for fellow human beings implies a lack of respect for this monumental work of art by God. Ultimately, to remain indifferent to the conditions and suffering of fellow human beings implies indifference to God himself. While advocating love of human beings as a pillar of human relations, Gülen maintains a balance. He distinguishes between the love of fellow human beings and our attitude toward some of their qualities or actions. Our love for a human being who inflicts suffering upon others does not mean that we remain silent toward his violent actions. On the contrary, our very love for that human being as a human being, as well as our love of those who suffer, necessitate that we participate actively in the elimination of suffering. In the end we argue that strong resonances are found in the notion of authentic toleration based on humility advocated by Conyers and the notion of hoshgoru in the writings of Gülen.

Abstract:

The authors explored the activity of mass media and cultural organizations aimed at clarification of the current problematic issue – preservation of Ukrainian cultural heritage under the conditions of the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine. The authors emphasize that occupants not only destroy historic buildings, i.e. material objects, but also steal art values, destroy library and archive funds; their actions are aimed at destruction of our spirituality, identity and history. It is pointed out that there are the main streams in the work of journalists, experts, and culture figures, namely: fixation of losses, propaganda of the Ukrainian culture in the world, expert evaluation of the restitution possibilities, and filling of the culture material with patriotic sense. The full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine on the 24th of February 2022 led to the numerous loss of life, ruination of the military, civil and infrastructure objects. But the state-aggressor destroys and robs our culture in this war. Since the beginning of the war mass media have been actively informing about the situation in the regions, which happened to be at the line of the Russian troops attack. The information was in particular about the fact that different educational establishments, libraries and their funds, museums with valuable collections, theatres, religious buildings and historic buildings had been ruined. To tell the truth the information was incomplete due to the limited opportunities to monitor the situation. However, later it has been systematized. The work of journalists and experts contributed to this since they stated the criminal acts of Russia, informing about the ruination facts of historic, sacral, cultural monuments, devastation of many museum collections, destruction of library and archive funds. Digitalization of the Russian war crimes against Ukrainian culture became one more important work aimed at preservation of the Ukrainian cultural heritage. It was done by means of interactive maps of the Ukrainian cultural losses and it enables documenting crimes of the occupant army and spreading this information at the international level. Key words: culture, cultural front, cultural losses, cultural values, cultural heritage, war, media.
