Podcast appearances and mentions of Thomas Beckett

The draft year 7-13 English curriculum proposes compulsory Shakespeare for senior secondary school students. That's provoked a furious debate about the relevance of Shakespeare in this day and age - Shakespeare is important, but is it essential? Even when I was at secondary school 45 years ago, Shakespeare was not popular. One year we were studying Hamlet. So, the school organised an afternoon matinee of the play at the Mercury Theatre. The boys were so rowdy that a young Michael Hurst commented it was the worst audience he had ever had. We didn't even calm down during the sword fights. That didn't happen when we studied Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman or Thomas Beckett's Murder in the Cathedral. Those plays used language we understood and themes we could relate to. To teach you must engage and much and all as we bemoan the fall of Shakespeare, he's still so strong that his influence on the modern world will not fail. So, what will engage the kids, I don't know. This generation is less engaged than ever - so much so I had to explain who Bob Geldof was to my 26-year-old son. And speaking of which the most engagement I had in English at school was when we studied the lyrics of David Bowie's 'Time' from the Aladdin Sane album. And let's remember that in 2016 Bob Dylan won the Nobel prize in literature. Would anyone mind if he was added to the curriculum? Post script: I see that the new curriculum says that spelling and keyboard lessons for children at intermediate schools should be compulsory - you mean they're not already? How do our kids survive in this modern world?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Church History Part 19 Church in the Middle Ages 2 During this time, there was a growing restlessness. Some people were starting to think about separating the church from institutional monarchies – particularly with England. The Scholastics - The papal reforms in the 11th - 13th centuries saw a rise in interest in education. The Cathedral schools surpassed the monastic schools by the 12th century. The universities rose from the Cathedral schools. Oxford, Cambridge & Paris Universities date back to this period. All education was in the hands of the Church. The great thinkers were monks or clergy. There was great debate over theology & philosophy with many attempts to harmonise the thinking of Greek philosophers such as Aristotle with theology. Anselm (1033-1109) – Anselm was born in Italy and raised in Normandy. Prior to becoming the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1093, he was a Benedictine monk, teacher, and abbot before continuing his church career in England. He is renowned as a great philosopher and theologian and during his time as Archbishop saw that the church was at least partly independent from the civil government. This was very radical for its time! Such a reformer, even before the reformation to come and worked to suppress the slave trade. One of the things, amongst many, which we as 21st century church remember Anselm for is the satisfaction theory of the atonement, where God becoming man in the birth of Jesus Christ, the incarnation, guaranteed relief from God's demands for strict divine justice. He is also renowned for being the first to use the Ontological argument for the existence of God through philosophy, rationality and logic, in the book Proslogion. He did this on the basis of "that than which nothing greater can be conceived", or if it could exist in the mind, it could therefore exist in reality. If it only existed in the mind, then something or someone greater is possible – one which exists in both mind and reality. You can read more about it here as well as download some of his writings freely by visiting the CCEL website. Thomas Beckett – Thomas Beckett was born in 1118 to a middle class family, was well educated including a time at the University of Paris. He was integrated into the household of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Theobald and completed several missions for him. In 1154 he was ordained as a deacon and appointed archdeacon of Canterbury. With this ordination by Theobold and the king, Henry II, Beckett would have been expected to represent their interests vocally. Following the death of Theobald in 1161, King Henry II was hoping to stunt the demand for separation of church and state as well as cutting back on the power of the church. Beckett was quickly ordained a priest in 1162 before shortly after becoming Archbishop of Canterbury. Despite opposition from King Henry II and others, Thomas Beckett endeavoured to make the church independent of the government. He took a form of ascetism upon himself, resigned from working for the King and put all his efforts and work tion the interests of the church alone. This led to frequent clashes with the English monarchy and under Henry II. It subsequently led to his exile in 1164. Upon his return to England in 1170, he excommunicated several bishops who had opposed him. Later that year, he was killed in the cathedral by four knights under he orders of King Henry II. That's it for this time! Next time in our series HAHA, we will finalise our look at the Middle Ages, with a look at one of the supreme thinkers of the historical Church, Thomas Aquinas, as well as looking briefly to the East and the Orthodox church.

Pour les plus jeunes : http://www.scoutorama.org/L-interieur-de-l-eglise.html Visite d'une église De Wikimanche L'église au sens large est un édifice catholique consacré aux offices et à la prière. Pour profiter de la visite des églises du diocèse, il est utile de connaître les éléments de son architecture, de son mobilier et de sa symbolique. Sommaire 1 Style 2 Architecture 3 Le mobilier 4 Ornements et symboles 5 Bibliographie Style Roman : style le plus ancien, il livre des édifices massifs, utilisant des arcs semi-circulaires, dits en plein cintre, des colonnes aux chapiteaux historiés d'où sortent personnages et animaux. Gothique : initié dans les années 1160-1170, le gothique joue, grâce aux voûtes sur croisées d'ogives, aux arcs brisés et aux arcs-boutants, sur la hauteur et la lumière qui entre par les grandes fenêtres percées dans les murs et ornées de vitraux. Gothique rayonnant : entre 1230 et 1380, le gothique évolue vers des fenêtres de plus en plus grandes, des colonnes de plus en plus fines, et des ornements plus nombreux (cercles, trèfles polylobes, rosaces...). Gothique flamboyant : postérieur à la Guerre de Cent Ans, ce style est caractérisé par une profusion décorative : portails monumentaux aux multiples statues, pinacles, balustrades sculptées... Reconstruction : après les destructions de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les églises sont reconstruites en appliquant les méthodes architecturales modernes : usage quasi-exclusif du béton, vaisseau souvent unique éclairé des grandes verrières aux vitraux abstraits, une sobriété extérieure et une recherche de chaleur intérieure, l'incrustation dans les murs des vestiges des anciens bâtiments... Architecture Le parvis : espace extérieur, situé devant l'entrée principale (le portail), qui est souvent un lien d'échange, de rencontre et de rassemblement. Le clocher : construction qui s'élève au-dessus, ou parfois à côté, de l'église et qui abrite les cloches. Ce type de construction voit le jour au XIe siècle. Certains clochers, notamment dans le nord Cotentin, ont servi de tour de guet au Moyen Âge contre les envahisseurs venant de l'océan. Certaines églises ont deux clochers totalement différents, comme celle de Saint-Jores. Dans plus de trois-cent-vingt-communes communes de la Manche, on peut recenser plus de trois-cent-quarante clochers du type en bâtière. Ce type est par construction le plus facile à réaliser, car ne comportant que des pannes rectilignes portées par les murs-pignons ; c'est donc le clocher le moins onéreux à construire... Le narthex : parvis intérieur de l'église où se rassemblent les catéchumènes (personnes demandant le baptême) Le chœur : espace principal pour la célébration. Il était initialement réservé au clergé et aux servants (enfants de chœur). La nef : espace principal d'accueil des fidèles qui forme un vaisseau qui s'étend entre le portail et le chœur. Les bas-côtés : espaces de circulation situés de chaque côté de la nef. Ils sont séparés de la nef par des grandes arcades qui portent colonnes ou piliers. Les supports : comme leur nom l'indique, ils sont destinés à porter une voûte, un arc. De deux sortes : la colonne, support de section circulaire ou polygonale ; le pilier ou pile , support de section carrée ou cruciforme. La travée : division transversale d'un vaisseau comprise en deux piliers ou piles. Le transept : vaisseau central qui coupe la nef à la hauteur du chœur. Cet élément d'architecture donne à l'église son plan en croix. L'intersection de ces deux vaisseaux forme la croisée du transept. L'abside : extrémité arrondie de l'église dans le fond du chœur. Le déambulatoire : espace de circulation tournant autour de l'abside. Les absidioles : petites chapelles réparties en demi-cercle de part et d'autre de l'abside. La sacristie : annexe de l'église où sont déposés les vêtements sacerdotaux, les vases sacrés, etc. Le mobilier Le bénitier : récipient en forme de coquille contenant l'eau bénite avec laquelle les chrétiens tracent sur eux le signe de croix en entrant dans l'église. Les fonts baptismaux : cuve destinée à recevoir l'eau utilisée lors du sacrement du baptême. La chaire : située au milieu ou en haut de la nef, surélevée grâce à un escalier, elle permet au prêtre de faire entendre son homélie aux fidèles. L'autel : situé au centre de l'édifice, c'est l'objet le plus saint de l'église. Il rappelle à la fois la prière du sacrifice et la table de la Cène (dernier repas de Jésus avec ses disciples). Le tabernacle : petit meuble fermant à clé où sont conservées les hosties consacrées. Il est souvent situé au centre du retable. Le retable : décor vertical entourant l'ancien maître-autel situé au fond de l'église. L'ambon ou lutrin : pupitre destiné à recevoir le livre de la parole de Dieu qui est lu au cours de toute célébration. La poutre de Gloire (ou « perque » en Normandie) : poutre portant le crucifix ou un calvaire, elle est placée à l'entrée du chœur. Les stalles : situés dans le chœur, ces sièges sont destinés au clergé. Les statues : représentent les Saints honorés par l'Église en raison de la qualité religieuse de leur vie. Elles sont souvent fleuries en raison d'une dévotion particulière (patron de la paroisse, légende locale, saint guérisseur, etc.). Durant la période gothique, la statuaire devient un art en soi et demeure, jusqu'au XVe siècle, une expression de l'art local, avec comme principal sujet la Vierge à l'Enfant, ainsi que quelques Christs aux liens (Colomby, Quettehou, Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte). Les ex-votos : symboles de foi et de reconnaissance. On trouve de nombreux ex-votos marins dans la Manche. Les vitraux : grisés ou colorés, ils diffusent une lumière douce et propice au recueillement. Ils représentent bien souvent la vie des saints, des épisodes bibliques ou de la vie de la paroisse. Ils sont souvent le fruit de donation de paroissiens pieux. Les reliques : restes, prétendus ou avérés, d'un saint, les reliques sont l'objet de vénération importantes à partir du IXe siècle et peuvent apporter richesse ou notoriété à l'église qui les abritent. Il peut s'agir de reliques de saints locaux, tel le reliquaire du bienheureux Thomas Hélye à Biville, le crâne d'Aubert au Mont-Saint-Michel, ou des portions de la Vraie croix et de la Couronne d’épines, comme à la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Coutances. L'ostensoir : ouvrage généralement d'orfèvrerie destiné à recevoir une hostie consacrée visible à travers une vitre pour l'adoration du Saint-Sacrement. L'encensoir : l'encensoir est une sorte de brûle-parfum mobile, suspendu par un jeu de 3 chainettes, plus une autre chainette servant à soulever le couvercle. Pendant les offices, le thuriféraire y place un morceau de charbon allumé servant à brûler l'encens ; il entretient la combustion en balançant l'encensoir pour que ce charbon reste allumé. L'officiant encense les personnes, l'autel... en signe de purification et de sanctification. La navette : tenue par le naviculaire, elle contient l'encens destiné à être brûlé dans l'encensoir. La sonnette : manipulée par un des servants , elle est utilisée pour marquer les moments importants durant les offices, par exemple, la Consécration. Les burettes : deux flacons contenant l'un le vin, l'autre l'eau versés dans le calice par le célébrant durant la messe. Elles peuvent être en verre, en cristal, ou en tout autre matériaux ; si elles ne sont pas transparentes, un signe distinctif signale celle contenant le vin. La burette d'eau sert également au célébrant pour se laver les mains avant la Consécration, après quoi il les essuie avec le manuterge. Ornements et symboles Les peintures murales : les murs des églises peuvent être recouverts de peintures. Ainsi à Sainte-Colombe voit-on la Flagellation et le Christ aux outrages, à Omonville-la-Rogue la mort de Thomas Beckett et la légende de saint Hélier, le retable peint de Digulleville, la légende du pendu dépendu à Canville-la-Rocque, les anges et la vierge à l'enfant dans la crypte de Brévands, ainsi que celles protégées de Marchésieux, de Savigny, et de la chapelle du château de Grainville à Granville. La Croix : symbole par excellence de la foi chrétienne. Elle se trouve dans le plan même de l'église à à l'intérieur de l'édifice. Croix d'autel ou de « perque », la Croix rappelle le sacrifice du Christ pour l'humanité. L'orientation : les églises sont généralement « orientées », c'est-à-dire tournées avec le chœur vers l'Orient, là où le soleil se lève ; mais certaines églises ne respectent pas cette règle générale : par exemple l'église Saint-Clément à Cherbourg-Octeville pour laquelle le chœur est au nord. Le croyant entre dans l'église par la façade occidentale (du côté de l'ombre le matin) et s'avance vers la lumière – le Christ (du côté du levant). Le carré du transept : il représente la terre, la création dans sa plénitude et sa solidité. Le cercle de la coupole : il représente le ciel et couronne le monde comme une voûte céleste. Le passage du carré au cercle symbolise le passage de la terre au ciel. La verticalité : elle symbolise l'aspiration à la transcendance, à l'ascension spirituelle. L'âme s'élève en même temps que le regard. Les évangélistes : chacun est représenté avec son symbole : - Mathieu avec un homme ou un ange - Marc avec un lion - Luc avec un bœuf - Jean avec un aigle. Les apôtres : ils sont aussi représentés avec des attributs spécifiques : - Pierre avec des clefs ou un coq - Jacques avec la coquille du pèlerin - Paul avec le livre ou l'épée.

When war-hardened Marine sniper Thomas Beckett is paired with a sharpshooter who lacks combat experience, friction ensues while the duo attempts to complete a sensitive mission. You are listening to Pop Culture Crossing's review of 'Sniper'.

The Dungeon Crawlers Team welcomes to the show Thomas Beckett who will be talking about Night of Ashes. Night of Ashes is a Theatrical Prequel to Hell's Rebels, the current Pathfinder Adventure Path from Paizo Publishing which takes place during the events immediately preceding In Hell's Bright Shadow, the first adventure in Hell's Rebels. Working with the Paizo team, we are using NPCs, locations and plot points from the Adventure Path to recreate the traumatic events leading up to Barzillai Thrune's take over of the city of Kintargo. The show centers on a young Hellknight who is conflicted between her commitment to the Law and her commitment to her City. When Grand Inquisitor Thrune orders her companion killed and an entire Opera Company arrested alongside a young Baron, she is forced to keep the actors from further harm and lead them to safety. The survival of this small band intermingle with the machinations of the arch villain of the Adventure Path. The show will be as audience interactive as possible and feature steel on steel fight choreography by an award-winning local fight choreographer. The Kickstarter launches 8/27/2015 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/346863196/1232471340?token=51be328a. Then the Dungeon Crawlers Team will wrap up the show with the Ghostbusters of Salt Lake. The Ghostbusters of Salt Lake, organized in 2007, are Utah's premier professional paranormal investigators and eliminators. You're likely to run into the GB's of SLC at screenings, comic and sci/fi conventions, costume parties, and charity events. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GhostbustersofSaltLake

This 74th Episode of CS is the 2nd Overview, where we pause to sum up the journey we've taken since the last overview in Episode 35.That summary began with the Apostolic Church and ran up through the 5th C marking the Fall of the Western Roman Empire. This Overview starts where that left off and brings us up to the 15th C. We're about to move into what's called the Reformation and Counter- Reformation Era, but have a bit more work to do in looking at some trends that took place in the Church in Europe in the waning decades of the Middle Ages.Turns out, there was a lot of reform-oriented activity that took place in the Church well before the birth of Martin Luther. So we'll take a look at that, filling in some of the holes left in the story so far.The reason these overview / review episodes are important is because of the need to set the events of Church history into the larger context of world history. But a danger lies in the very thing many dislike in the study of history; that inevitable list of names and dates. We have an advantage here because the assumption is – you LIKE history > Or for goodness sake, why would you be listening? I sure hope no home-school student has to listen to these, and no parent uses them as a form of discipline. Although, I guess they could be used in some kind of enhanced interrogation technique.Anyway à Here we go . . .  Picking up where we left off in the last Overview àChristianity came to England early, at the end of the 3rd C. Patrick took the Gospel to Ireland in the 5th.The Goth and Hun invasions of Europe altered both the political and religious landscape. As the political structures of the Western Roman Empire fragmented, people looked to the Church to provide leadership. Being generally pretty capable leaders, the task of providing guidance fell to the dozens of Christian bishops.Then we briefly examined a subject that could have occupied us for much longer; the emergence of the Roman bishop as the Pope and de-facto leader of the Church.We spent an episode considering Pope Gregory the Great's monumental impact on the Church in the 6th C, how the Church proved to be a crucial feature of the Middles Ages and how Augustine's work on theology formed the intellectual core of that era.We charted the Faith's expansion into Africa, Mesopotamia, Asia and the Far East.Charlemagne's tenure as Holy Roman Emperor was reviewed. The Iconoclast Controversy in the Eastern Church was covered. Then we saw the rift between the Eastern and Western churches that occurred in the 11th C.The Crusades occupied us for 4 episodes; the growth of monasticism for 5 as we took a closer look at both Francis of Assisi and Dominic. We were fascinated by the career of the brilliant Bernard of Clairvaux. We attempted an examination of two major controversies –Investiture and the Eucharist.Universities were founded; the two most important at Paris and Oxford, but several lesser schools as well – giving rise to the movement known as Scholasticism which we took 3 episodes to cover. Scholasticism was fueled by the earlier work of Anselm and Abelard, but really took off with the labor of Thomas Aquinas and Dun Scotus.Thomas Beckett was made the Archbishop of Canterbury, then killed by over-zealous knights.In the mid-late 12th C, Peter Waldo started a movement of mendicants that would birth a movement that lasts to this day. We haven't said much about that yet but will in a near episode.The Third Lateran Council met in 1179 and a Middle Eastern Church known as the Maronites made common cause with the Roman Catholic Church rather than the Eastern Orthodox.In 1187, Saladin captured Jerusalem and the 3rd  Crusade set out.Innocent III became the most powerful Pope of the Middle Ages and convened the monumental Fourth Lateran Council in 1215.A Crusade was launched against the Cathars in Southern France.King John issued the Magna Carta.Pope Gregory IX appointed the first Inquisitors, another episode of church history we need to devote an episode to.Coming up to recent episodes, we looked at the emerging tension between the Church and State, Popes and Princes, that was a harbinger of Europe's emergence into the Modern world. Pope Boniface VIII's papal edict Unam Sanctum in 1302 was the proverbial gauntlet hurled at the foot of the secular power, denying salvation to anyone outside the Church.We reviewed the Great Papal Schism when there was—count them; not 1, nor 2, but for a time, 3 popes!In 1312, the Knights Templar were suppressed.Nine years later the Italian poet Dante Alighieri wrote The Divine Comedy.1337, the Hundred Year's War began and a decade later the Plague killed off a third of Europe.Then, as we start to move inexorably toward the emergence of serious reform attempts, we saw the central place of Sacramentalism in the mindset of people in the Middle Ages – that salvation is free and by grace, but that it's dispensed THROUGH the Church, BY the clergy performing the sacraments.One episode looked at the Mystics who managed to keep the focus on God while it seemed so much of the rest of the clergy had been consumed by the intrigues of European politics.We paused to see what was happening with the Mongols and their rapacious conquest of the East, and ended with a look at John Wycliffe, Morningstar of the Reformation.It's important we understand, the reform of the Church was not something that began with Martin Luther in the 16th C. Far from it. There'd been many reform movements and the century and half before Luther went far to prepare the ground for his emergence.Jesus spoke of the problem of wineskins. New wine needs a new skin. If you put new juice in an old skin, as it ferments, the already stretched bottle will burst, ruining both skin and wine. Noà Jesus wasn't giving wine-making lessons. He illustrated a spiritual axiom. When God does a new thing, He often goes outside the current religious “skin”, the existing structure, and uses a new vessel, medium, or method.From one perspective, we could say that Church History is a long tale of fresh movements of the Spirit, and how the Faith has embodied, or given expression to those new movements.The challenge of the modern student of history is to avoid layering back onto history our own particular experience and evaluation. People with smartphones and the Internet with a vast searchable electronic encyclopedia, literally at their fingertips, could easily consider people just a hundred years ago to be terribly uninformed; and people 500 years ago to be bereft of knowing much of anything.   It's said by some that the brilliant polymath Thomas Young, who died in 1829, was the last man to know everything. What that means is that until the early 19th C, the body of information available in the form of books, the repositories of knowledge in that time, was of such a volume that a single human being could potentially have at least a working knowledge of ALL of it. But after that, the proliferation of knowledge began to grow exponentially so that it became impossible for one person to have such knowledge.We don't need to attempt such a knowledge upload today when we can download any piece of knowledge we need in an instant.I say all that as a preface for this: As we soon move in our podcasts into the Reformation Era and the breakaway of the Protestants, it's easy for us who've lived so long with the tension between Roman Catholics and Protestants, to project that paradigm back onto the Church before the Reformation. That would be wrong, a gross distortion of the facts.Before the Reformation, there really was just one church in Europe – and we ought not call it the “Roman Catholic Church” because what we think of TODAY as the RC Church was not that! The Roman Catholic Church today is what it is, in good measure, BECAUSE of the Reformation, as we'll see. Western Christians today probably ought to understand the Church of Europe before the Reformation as “our church” – regardless what your denominational stripe is now. Eastern Christians, of course, look to the Eastern or Greek Orthodox Church as their Church and have for a thousand years.The point is, the numerous attempts at reform prior to the Reformation were all kept in-house. Most of the monastic movements were attempts at reforming, not just monasteries, but the entire Church. Some of the popes had a reform agenda and were able to accomplish somewhat in the way of getting the Church back to its Apostolic ideal. The Reformation split the Church precisely because of a perfect storm of several factors that combined in Europe when it was obvious to just about everyone there was something seriously wrong in the leadership of the Church. And when the Church wouldn't install the reforms it so obviously needed, a door had opened to allow those who wanted out, to leave.The factors that contributed to that perfect storm were . . .First, the growing tension between Popes and Princes.As the Investiture Controversy made clear, there'd been strife between secular rulers and the Pope for a while. It all went back to Charlemagne and his descendants who ruled by having their crowns bestowed by the Pope; their rule sanctioned by the Church. But as the different rulers of Europe jostled each other for territory and wealth became more important to fielding ever larger armies, these rulers competed with the Church for income. As the borders of Europe became thicker, the tension between Church and State grew.Second, the emergence of the European middle-class meant the feudalism that dominated European politics and economics began to loosen its grip on society. Though the social structure was still tightly controlled, new options began to appear. The emerging middle-class possessed more disposable income, fueling more markets and options. Cities began to grow. More were educated. Questions were asked, and the Church didn't always have satisfying answers.Third, the printing press arrived and books began to proliferate. Ideas that had taken months to move from one place to another were now making the trip in days.Fourth, the scandal of the Papal Schism, with the governance of the Church being argued over by three claimant-popes all at the same time was simply embarrassing to many of Europe's faithful. It was clear to everyone, including the Pope's themselves, that serious changes was needed. This Church, divided as it was, could NOT be what Jesus and the Apostles had in mind.So, in the next episodes, we'll take a look at some of the attempts at reform that occurred in the Late Middle Ages that act as precursors, foreshocks, if you will, to the eventual rift brought by the Protestants.
