How Churches Can Become Trapped by Violence and Hatred
During the Italian occupation of Ethiopia between 1935 and 1941 there was an outbreak of brutal and violent attacks on the Ethiopian church. These attacks were supported by many in the Italian church and were described as a Crusade, with no condemnation of them from the papacy. The two churches come from very different geographical locations and cultural backgrounds, and this has led to periods of warm relations, but also to examples of aggressiv…
John the Baptist
The rise of the monastic movement in the fourth century led many monks to settle in the Judaean desert. They described how they lived in an inhospitable environment. This gives fresh insights into the life of John the Baptist, including his diet. He would have foraged for food, including the melagria plant, widely eaten by desert dwellers. Later scribes, who were unfamiliar with the desert, changed this to meli agrion, or wild honey

Monasticism-Then and Now
The monastic tradition has its roots in the New Testament practices of withdrawing into the desert, following a celibate lifestyle and disciplines of fasting. After the empire became Christian in the 4th century these ascetic disciplines evolved into monastic communities. While these took various forms, they developed a shared literature, gained a recognised place in the church, while taking different ways of life in the various settings in the l…
