Church and Society 25 years later : Was it worth the while? 25 Years have passed since the General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church accepted a new policy document: Church and Society in Light of ...Scripture. This document came into being after a several years of struggle. The reaction to the document led to a schism in the church and the founding of the Afrikaanse Protestantse Kerk. This article asks the question if the trouble Church and Society caused in the church was worth the while and then comes to the conclusion that it definitely was. Looking back after 25 years, Church and Society helped the Dutch Reformed church to get rid of the burden of apartheid and opened new doors on the church's way to the challenges of the new millennium.
Under the title Dordt and South Africa - the nature and challenges for Reformed Church Polity in South Africa this presentation starts by sketching the context in which the Church Order of Dordt was ...drawn up and what the role and meaning of the Church order was for the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands. Secondly attention is paid to the role of the Church Order of Dordt in the history of South Africa - given it's context and meaning in the Netherlands. Given the background of the first two parts the presentation then goes on to identify new developments and challenges for Reformed Church Polity in South Africa such as the effect of the new SA Constitution that was accepted in 1994/1996; and the effect of guaranteed freedom of religion on matters like the debate between religions; the identity of the church and church unity.
Autor iznosi pravni okvir biskupijske sinode. Glavni su mu izvori: Zakonik kanonskoga prava, Direktorij za pastoralnu službu biskupa Ecclesiae Imago i Uputa o biskupijskim sinodama. Zakonik ...kanonskoga prava prepušta krajevnom pravu veoma široki prostor koji se upravo otvara na biskupijskoj sinodi.
Biskupijska sinoda predstavlja najznačajniji izičaj »biskupijskog zajedništva«. Ona ima temeljnu važnost za život i ustanove biskupijske zajednice. U pastoralnom upravljanju biskupa biskupijska sinoda zauzima »mjesto prvenstva«, a treba se pripremiti i proslaviti prema stvarnim potrebama biskupije.
Biskupijska sinoda ima dva dijela: pripremni i slavljenički. Najvažniji i najteži dio sinode ne nalazi se u njezinom slavljenju, nego u njezinoj pripremi. Pripremne se komisije trebaju sastojati od svih članova Božjeg naroda: klerika, redovnika i vjernika laika. Njihova je dužnost da prouče sadržaje i pripreme nacrte odluka za sinodska zasjedanja.
Autor u prilogu sagledava suodnos ranosrednjovjekovne svjetovne i crkvene vlasti, osobito s obzirom na ulogu vladara i pape. Sukladno tim odnosima iznosi ideje o ulozi ranosrednjovjekovnoga hrvatskog ...vladara na crkvenim sinodama dvadesetih godina 10. stoljeća.
Zadarska biskupija – osnovana još samim početkom 4. stoljeća a od 1154. godine nadbiskupija i metropolija – bila je u 17. stoljeću stalna meta turskih pustošenja, jer se grad Zadar tijekom ...mletačko-turskih ratova pretvorio u najsigurniju venecijansku utvrdu na istočnoj obali Jadrana. Sinodalni život zadarske crkve bio je u vremenskom periodu između 1607. i 1688. godine iznimno bogat; u tako malom vremenskom razmaku je bilo sazvano i održano čak trinaest sinoda. Sinoda 1647. godine, koju je sazvao nadbiskup Bernard Florio (1642.-1565.) pripada ovom vremenskom periodu I pokazuje kolika važnost se pridavala sinodama I njihovom značenju za obnovu crkvenih struktura.

Particular and general synods a reformed approach In this article the author investigates the character, composition and task of particular or regional synods and of general synods in reformed ...churches. Although the character and composition of these assemblies in the church can be defined fairly easily, the same can not be said of the distinction between the task of the former and the latter. The fact that both of them were called upon in the past to look after matters common to all congregations within its borders, created a vagueness in this regard. Which are those matters common to all congregations which should be attended to by particular synods and which by general synods? His solution is the application of two well-known principles of a reformed church polity: firstly, that major assemblies should not attend to matters which could be dealt with at minor assemblies, and, secondly, that a general synod should concentrate on those issues which are really common to all congregations in the specific denomination. Die skrywer kyk na die aard, samestelling en werksterreine van partikuliere of streeks- en algemene sinodes soos wat dit in gereformeerde kerke aangetref word. Waar die aard en samestelling van beide redelik maklik uit te wys is, is daar 'n vaagheid in die onderskeid tussen hulle werksterreine. Hierdie vaagheid word veroorsaak deur die feit dat beide getaak word om om te sien na dié sake wat gemeentes binne hulle ressort gemeenskaplik raak. Die vraag wat ontstaan, is "Watter van hierdie sake moet deur die partikuliere en watter deur die algemene sinode verrig word?" Volgens die skrywer lê die oplossing hiervoor in die toepassing van twee erkende gereformeerde kerkregtelike beginsels: dat meerdere vergaderings nie sake hanteer wat op mindere vergaderings afgehandel kan word nie en dat algemene sinodes net daardie sake hanteer wat werklik algemeen van aard is.
El objetivo de este artículo es exponer los motivos del alto clero y de la Corona para reafirmar la política de lo que aquí llamo «auto-sustento» de los curatos. Para esos poderes era más conveniente ...que cada curato se autofinanciara a tener que buscar nuevas fuentes de ingreso, lo cual podía desembocar en un mayor reparto del diezmo o extraer recursos de la Real Hacienda, como plantearon algunas voces aisladas en el IV Concilio provincial mexicano de 1771. La tendencia fue, por el contrario, garantizar que los fieles sustentaran a cada parroquia.
Türkiye, asma genetik kaynaklarının önemli merkezlerinden birisidir. Ülkenin bazı bölgelerinde hala yaygın şekilde yetiştiriciliği yapılan birçok yöresel üzüm çeşidi bulunmaktadır. Bu bölgelerden ...biri Doğu Akdeniz Bölgesidir. Bu çalışmada, bölgenin asma gen kaynaklarının tanımlanması amacı ile 14 SSR primeri kullanılarak 59 üzüm çeşidinin genetik analizleri yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda çeşitler arasındaki genetik ilişkilerin bölge içindeki ekocoğrafik dağılımları ile bağlantılı olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada analiz edilen çeşitler arasında farklı isimlerle anıldığı halde aynı genotip sinonim veya aynı isimli ancak farklı genotip özelliği homonim gösterenler saptanmıştır. Bölgenin asma genotipleri ile ilgili ilk genetik analiz sonuçlarının sunulduğu bu çalışma, gen kaynaklarının daha etkin kullanımını ve ıslah programlarını destekleyecektir.
