Der berühmte Magister an der Pariser Universität und die bislang nahezu vergessene Frau verstanden beide die Herausforderung des inneren Wandlungsprozesses als Lebenslehre. Beide bedienten sich zur Vermittlung ihrer Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse der Volkssprache: Eckhart des Mittelhochdeutschen\, Porète des Mittelfranzösischen. Beide waren überzeugt: In der Tiefe des eigenen Selbst begegnet der Mensch Gottes Kraft. In der Einigung mit dieser Kraft wird Gott in allem geboren\, was der Mensch denkt und schafft. \nAls theologischer Lehr- und Lebensmeister ist der Dominikaner Eckhart auch heute ein gefragter Gesprächspartner und entfaltet Wirkung weit über das Christentum hinaus. Marguerite Porète\, die für ihre göttliche Liebeslehre auf dem Scheiterhaufen starb\, wurde Jahrhunderte lang als Person unsichtbar gemacht. Die Meisterklasse 2024 widmet sich den „Mystiken“ des Predigerbruders und der Begine. Sie richtet sich an Fachleute sowie an Interessierte\, die Meister Eckhart und Marguerite Porète näher kennen lernen möchten und sich für Fragen einer spirituellen Lebenskunst interessieren. \nMore Details URL:https://studium.op.org/event/mystik-und-lebenskunst-meister-eckhart-und-marguerite-porete/ CATEGORIES:Upcoming Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://studium.op.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/03/Berlin.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20240621T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20240621T160000 DTSTAMP:20260521T110523 CREATED:20240619T074901Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240619T075121Z UID:8740-1718978400-1718985600@studium.op.org SUMMARY:Call for meeting on line : Colloquium in view DESCRIPTION:[English] Dear Brothers\, \nYou are receiving this email to engage actively in the colloquium project that is underway.

Les premiers contours de cette idée\nétaient de ne pas laisser inexploités les thèmes délimités par Fr. Akin Odiko\, OP\, mon\nprédécesseur – thèmes destinés à donner lieu à la publication d’un livre par l’IAOP.\nNous avons également souhaité que\, à l’issue du colloque\, les présentations soient sélectionnées\npour publication\, afin de redonner vie à l’idée initiale de publication de livre associée aux thèmes\nproposés par Fr. Akin\, comme je l’ai déjà mentionné.\nOrganiser un colloque peut être une tâche complexe. C’est pourquoi nous sommes conviés à\nexaminer ensemble dès maintenant comment créer un événement réussi.\nLes points ci-dessous me semblent indispensables (et peuvent être complétés lors de nos\néchanges) pour définir ce qu’il faut faire et comment le faire. Ces grandes lignes nous\npermettront de progresser systématiquement dans l’organisation de ce colloque\, prévu pour\ncoïncider avec le prochain sommet de l’IAOP en 2026 (le lieu spécifique sera déterminé lors du\nmini-sommet de l’IAOP en mars 2025). Je vous invite à les lire attentivement et à les enrichir si\nnécessaire\, en vue d’une réunion riche en idées constructives qui nous permettront de franchir\nune nouvelle étape de ce projet. \nA. Élaboration d’un programme préliminaire\n1. Définir l’objectif et la portée du colloque : Nous avons à déterminer le sujet principal du\ncolloque\, les thèmes à explorer\, et les objectifs que nous souhaitons atteindre.\n2. Constituer un comité organisateur : Nous avons à rassembler une équipe compétente\npour planifier et coordonner l’événement. Et nous devons nous assurer que chaque\nmembre du comité a des responsabilités claires et une communication efficace.\n3. Choisir une date et un lieu : Ceci revient au Mini-Sommet de mars 2025 comme tâche.\nCependant\, nous pouvons faire des propositions que le Mini-Sommet pourra examiner.\nNous devons veiller à sélectionner des dates qui conviennent aux participants cibles et\ntrouver un lieu approprié qui offre les installations nécessaires pour le nombre attendu\nde participants. [Une question à examiner dans ce sens est la suivante : Combien de\nparticipants envisageons-nous pour le Colloque ?]\n4. Élaborer un budget : Nous avons à faire une estimation des coûts associés à la location\nde l’espace\, la nourriture et les rafraîchissements\, les frais de déplacement des\nconférenciers\, la promotion de l’événement\, et la publication ultérieure des Actes du\nColloque. Nous aurons à nous assurer auprès du socius pour l’Afrique et le syndic de\nl’IAOP d’avoir un financement adéquat pour couvrir ces dépenses. \n5. Sélectionner les intervenants : Nous aurons à identifier les conférenciers à inviter et les\nintervenants potentiels. Ceci doit être fait le plus rapidement possible afin qu’un contact\nsoit fait à temps pour vérifier leur disponibilité et leur intérêt à participer. (Ma suggestion\nest que nous privilégions les frères capables de nos différentes entités en tenant compte\naussi des langues -Anglais et Français\, de préférence).\nB. Assurer le suivi\n6. Constitution de comités : pour le suivi de l’organisation préliminaire (contacts à prendre\,\ncollecte des informations des participants\, etc.) ; pour le déroulement de l’événement\n(les détails logistiques tels que la restauration\, l’hébergement des conférenciers\, la\ntechnologie audiovisuelle\, les supports visuels\, les impressions de documents\, etc.) et\npour l’après colloque (recueillir les commentaires des participants\, évaluation de\nl’événement\, et remerciements des intervenants pour leur contribution). \nFr. Georges Alahou\, OP.\nConseiller pour la Vie Intellectuelle (IAOP) \n  \nGROUNDWORK FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF THE 2026 COLLOQUIUM\nINTRODUCTION \nDear Friars\,\nAllow me to remind you that during our last meeting of the Regents and Coordinators of Studies\,\nthe idea of organizing a colloquium was conceived. The initial outlines of this idea were to not\nleave unexplored the themes delineated by Fr. Akin Odiko\, OP\, my predecessor – themes intended\nto result in the publication of a book by the IAOP.\nWe also wished that\, at the end of the colloquium\, the presentations would be selected for\npublication\, in order to breathe new life into the original idea of a book publication associated with\nthe themes proposed by Fr. Akin\, as I have already mentioned.\nOrganizing a colloquium can be a complex task. That is why we are invited to examine together\nfrom now on how to create a successful event.\nThe points below seem indispensable to me (and can be supplemented during our discussions) to\ndefine what needs to be done and how to do it. These guidelines will allow us to systematically\nprogress in organizing this colloquium\, which is scheduled to coincide with the next IAOP summit\nin 2026 (the specific location to be determined during the IAOP mini-summit in March 2025). I\ninvite you to read them attentively and to enrich them if necessary\, with a view to a meeting rich\nin constructive ideas that will allow us to take the next step in this project. \nA. Development of a preliminary program\n1. Define the objective and scope of the colloquium: We need to determine the main subject\nof the colloquium\, the themes to explore\, and the objectives we wish to achieve. \n2. Form an organizing committee: We need to assemble a competent team to plan and\ncoordinate the event. We must ensure that each committee member has clear\nresponsibilities and effective communication.\n3. Choose a date and location: This is a task for the Mini-Summit of March 2025. However\,\nwe can make proposals for the Mini-Summit to consider. We need to select dates that are\nconvenient for the target participants and find an appropriate venue that offers the\nnecessary facilities for the expected number of participants. [A question to consider in this\nregard is: How many participants do we envision for the Colloquium?]\n4. Develop a budget: We need to estimate the costs associated with renting the space\, food\nand refreshments\, speaker travel expenses\, event promotion\, and the subsequent\npublication of the Colloquium Proceedings. We must ensure with the socius for Africa and\nthe IAOP syndic that adequate funding is available to cover these expenses. \n5. Select the speakers: We need to identify the speakers to invite and potential contributors.\nThis must be done as soon as possible so that contact can be made in time to check their\navailability and interest in participating. (My suggestion is to prioritize capable brothers\nfrom our various entities\, taking into account both English and French languages\,\npreferably). \nB. Ensure follow-up\n6. Establish committees: For the follow-up of preliminary organization (contacts to be made\,\ncollection of participant information\, etc.); for the event execution (logistical details such as\ncatering\, accommodation for speakers\, audiovisual technology\, visual aids\, document printing\,\netc.); and for post-colloquium (gathering participant feedback\, event evaluation\, and thanking the\nspeakers for their contributions). \nBro Georges Alahou\, OP\nIAOP – Councillor for Intellectual Life \n\n  \nView Synonyms and Definitions URL:https://studium.op.org/event/call-for-meeting-on-line-colloquium-in-view/ CATEGORIES:Upcoming Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://studium.op.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/logo.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20240620T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20250719T190000 DTSTAMP:20260521T110523 CREATED:20240506T105629Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240506T105702Z UID:8718-1718870400-1752951600@studium.op.org SUMMARY:CONMEMORATIVO 500 AÑOS DE LA FUNDACIÓN DE LA ESCUELA DE SALAMANCA DESCRIPTION:10 CONFERENCIAS MAGISTRALES CON LA PARTICIPACIÓN DE CONFERENCISTAS DE RECONOCIDO PRESTIGIO\, NACIONALES Y EXTRANJEROS URL:https://studium.op.org/event/conmemorativo-500-anos-de-la-fundacion-de-la-escuela-de-salamanca-2/ CATEGORIES:Upcoming Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://studium.op.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/05/salamanca-1.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20240620T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20250719T190000 DTSTAMP:20260521T110523 CREATED:20240506T104825Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240506T104825Z UID:8713-1718870400-1752951600@studium.op.org SUMMARY:CONMEMORATIVO 500 AÑOS DE LA FUNDACIÓN DE LA ESCUELA DE SALAMANCA DESCRIPTION: URL:https://studium.op.org/event/conmemorativo-500-anos-de-la-fundacion-de-la-escuela-de-salamanca/ CATEGORIES:Upcoming Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://studium.op.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/05/salamanca.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20240617T083000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20240620T170000 DTSTAMP:20260521T110523 CREATED:20230628T094950Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230628T094950Z UID:8027-1718613000-1718902800@studium.op.org SUMMARY:Understanding the Old Testament as Christian Scripture DESCRIPTION:Understanding the Old Testament as Christian Scripture\nAn International Symposium with a call for papers\n17-20 June 2024\nPontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum)\nThe field of modern biblical studies has given rise to a great deal of insight and a plethora of information about distinct\, ancient writings that we traditionally call the Old Testament. Today\, expert specialisation in regard to distinct books of the Bible and their composition is prevalent. However\, it is also the case that ancient\, medieval\, and modern Christian theologians have understood the Old Testament to be a united source\, consisting of different authors\, styles and genres\, and composed in different languages\, yet all speaking in one symphonic way as the living Word of God. \nHow today\, in a post-historical critical context can a Christian theology\, informed by modern Biblical studies\, recover a sense of the Old Testament in the Church and for the Church as the living Word of God fulfilled in Christ? How can it do so while acknowledging not only the human authorship of the Bible but also the way Christians engage in the Bible in conversation with the Jewish people\, the secular world\, and other non-Christian religious traditions? What does it mean to think about Israel\, canon\, and Christ? \nThis conference brings together a wide array of experts in biblical\, patristic\, and contemporary theology to reflect on Scripture as the root and source of Christian theology in an ecumenical context. \nThis conference is part of the Project for the Theological Reception of Scripture. \nMain Session Speakers and Tentative Topics\nDale C.

Birlikte\, Akdeniz’in “hafızasını” sadece zengin geçmişiyle ilişkili olarak değil\, aynı zamanda pratiğe\, kişisel ve sosyal gerçekliğin dönüşümüne yönlendirmeyi seçerek rehabilite ediyorlar. Bu şekilde teolojinin eleştirel işlevini vurgulayarak\, onu ilahi olanın epifanisiyle sürekli diyalog halindeyken insanın hizmetine sunarlar. Böylece\, “sınır “dan gelen eski Mare nostrum’u\, geçilmesi bizi öteki yapan “eşik” haline gelir. \n2 – New book \n  \nWe are delighted to announce the publication of “La misura mediterranea dell’umano”\, a new book by Claudio Monge and Giuseppina De Simone. \nClaudio Monge and Giuseppina De Simone affirm the need to protect the diversity\, which has always enriched this crossroads of cultures\, through a new theological proposal. Together\, they rehabilitate the “memory” of the Mediterranean not only in relation to its rich past\, but choosing to orientate it to practice\, to the transformation of personal and social reality. Accentuating in this way the critical function of theology\, they place it at the service of the human\, while in constant dialogue with the epiphany of the divine. Thus\, the ancient Mare nostrum from “border” again becomes “threshold\,” the crossing of which makes us other. \nFor further details click here. \n  URL:https://studium.op.org/event/conference-and-new-book-publication/ CATEGORIES:Upcoming Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://studium.op.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/03/DoSt-I-Istanbul.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20240301T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20240310T190000 DTSTAMP:20260521T110523 CREATED:20240222T090250Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240222T090435Z UID:8453-1709280000-1710097200@studium.op.org SUMMARY:Miracles: Scientific\, Philosophical\, and Theological Perspectives DESCRIPTION:The Angelicum Thomistic Institute Project for Science and Religion Presents:\nMiracles: Scientific\, Philosophical\, and Theological Perspectives\n1-2 March 2024\nAngelicum – Aula Minor \n  \nAims of the Conference:\nMiracles are one of the core features of the Christian religion\, as well as many other faiths. The most foundational miracles are those described throughout the biblical narrative. However\, there have been continued reports of miraculous events even to this day\, and some have become important in popular piety and the faith of individual believers. In light of the advances of modern science and our deeper understanding of the physical and biological world\, many have claimed that such miraculous events\, ancient or contemporary\, are implausible if not strictly impossible. In this conference we will consider the miraculous with the tools of contemporary theology\, philosophy\, and science. Drawing on the insights of an international collection of specialists\, we will address various foundational questions about God’s supernatural action in the world: What exactly is a miracle? In light of advances in science and philosophy\, are miracles possible? If so\, can modern science help identify and understand miraculous events? What role should miracles play in our personal Christian faith? Is it reasonable for scientists to believe in particular miracles\, and if so\, when? Does nature need special divine action in its operation and major evolutionary transitions? \nMore Details \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://studium.op.org/event/miracles-scientific-philosophical-and-theological-perspectives/ CATEGORIES:Upcoming Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://studium.op.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/02/PUST.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Cairo:20240215T090000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Cairo:20240217T170000 DTSTAMP:20260521T110523 CREATED:20230606T102042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230606T102138Z UID:7987-1707987600-1708189200@studium.op.org SUMMARY:CALL FOR PAPERS: The literal meaning\, between Christian worlds and Muslim worlds (7ᵗʰ‒15ᵗʰ centuries) DESCRIPTION:The literal meaning\, between Christian worlds and Muslim worlds (7ᵗʰ‒15ᵗʰ centuries)\nConference organized at the Dominican Institute of Oriental Studies (Cairo)\nFebruary 15ᵗʰ‒17ᵗʰ\, 2024\nFrom February 15ᵗʰ to 17ᵗʰ\, 2024\, the IDEO will organize an international conference entitled “The literal meaning\, between Christian worlds and Muslim worlds (7ᵗʰ‒15ᵗʰ centuries)” \nBy pointing the finger at the “literalism” or “fundamentalism” of this or that religious movement\, current events willingly bring to the forefront the notion of the literal meaning of sacred texts\, whether it is claimed as the only authentic meaning or denounced as an oversimplification. The apparent simplicity of the literal meaning\, presented as the obvious meaning of a text\, beyond any interpretation or hermeneutic approach\, is nevertheless called into question by studies of linguistics\, which have long shown that it is a constructed meaning\, whose definition always presupposes a hermeneutic framework\, even if it is implicit1. \nWith regard to the hermeneutics of the holy texts of Christianity and Islam\, it is through medieval debates that these frames of reference\, which have already been the subject of numerous studies\, were established. For the Christian West\, from the pioneering works of Henri de Lubac2 and Beryl Smalley3 to the rich synthesis of Gilbert Dahan4\, the history of the progressive conception and canonization of multiple meanings is now known\, showing in particular the essential role played by the historia (or littera): far from being the forgotten element of medieval Latin exegesis\, it is\, on the contrary\, affirmed not only as the foundation of the spiritual senses\, but also as a rich sense in itself\, which can be analyzed at different levels. This harmony elaborated by scholarly hermeneutics does not prevent the existence of spiritual movements with a claimed strict literalism. This richness of studies on Latin hermeneutics contrasts\, however\, with their weakness with regard to other Christian worlds\, notably the Byzantine universe. \nPlease continue to read on the IDEO website. \nPapers will be given in English. \nThe conference will take place from February 15ᵗʰ to 17ᵗʰ\, 2024 in Cairo. Proposals for papers should be sent (adrien.candiard@ideo-cairo.org\, sumi.shimahara@sorbonne-universite.fr) before June 30ᵗʰ\, 2023. The papers will be published in the Mélanges de l’Institut dominicain d’études orientales.

DESCRIPTION:Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season\, reminding us of human mortality and the need for reconciliation with God. Many Christians attend special church services where they receive ashes on their foreheads. The ashes are a visible sign of repentance and a reminder of our return to dust in death. We are called to humility and faith in God for eternal life. \nAsh Wednesday is always 46 days before Easter Sunday (40 days excluding Sundays). The observance of Ash Wednesday is rooted in various biblical traditions. In the Old Testament\, ashes were a symbol of penance and mourning\, and in the New Testament\, Jesus fasted for 40 days in the wilderness before beginning his public ministry. \nLent is a time set aside each year for similar fasting\, observing an intentional season of focus on Christ’s life\, ministry\, sacrifice\, and resurrection. The Lenten season culminates with Holy Week\, which includes Palm Sunday\, Good Friday\, and the joyous celebration of Easter. \nPRAYERFUL GREETINGS to all on this coming Season of Lent\, \nIntellectual Life Office \n  \n  \n  URL:https://studium.op.org/event/discover-the-traditions-and-meaning-of-ash-wednesday-for-christians-today/ CATEGORIES:Upcoming Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://studium.op.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/02/ash.jpeg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
