Today in Christian History

Today is Wednesday, October 14th, the 288th day of 2020. There are 78 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

1566: Repose (death) of Ignatius of Methymna, a Metropolitan of the Greek Church, and founder of the monasteries of Panagia Myrtidiotissa and Leimonos.

1656: Massachusetts enacts a law prohibiting “Quakerism.” The laws decree fines and mutilations for various offenses.

1703: Death of Thomas H. Kingo, Danish hymnwriter.

1735: John and Charles Wesley sail for Georgia on the Simmonds. According to John’s journal, their purpose is to save their souls and to live wholly to the glory of God. However, he soon discovers he is spiritually powerless.

1776: Baptism of Benjamin Randall as an adult, having switched to Baptist views while in the Continental Army.

1886: The Presbyterian Synod of Michigan adopts a resolution that leads to the founding of Alma College, principally to educate ministerial students for the Presbyterian Church.

1921: Ambrosius is elected Patriarch of All Georgia. As leader of his nation’s Orthodox Church, he was noted for his resistance to Soviet tyranny. At the conclusion of his 1924 show trial, his words were “My soul belongs to God, my heart to my country; you, my executioners, do what you will with my body.” He was also historian of the Georgian Church.

1957: Death of Edward Thomas Demby, who had been the second African-American bishop of the Episcopal Church, a suffragen (assistant) bishop.

[empressofherownimaginaryplanet]

All who believe and are baptized Shall see the Lord's salvation; Baptized into the death of Christ, They are a new creation. Through Christ's redemption they shall stand Among the glorious, heav'nly band Of ev'ry tribe and nation.

With one accord, O God, we pray: Grant us your Holy Spirit. Help us in our infirmity Through Jesus' blood and merit. Grant us to grow in grace each day That by this sacrament we may Eternal life inherit.

So as mentioned in my previous post about this bingo, my birthday is next month. And for that occasion I wanted to host another bingo! Like my last bingo in October 2021, this one will have moodboards to the squares. You don’t have to use them, but they’re there for inspiration, and can also be used in your fics as a “cover” if you’d like 🥰 I’m gonna have the moodboards up before the bingo starts on Monday 17th of January 😅

here are some rules:

1. It’ll start on January 17th and ends on February 17th at Midnight (Norwegian time)

2. Write one, ten or all of the fics. But don’t feel like you have to write them, this is a fun little writing exercise

3. You can write a head canon, ficlet, multi-chapter (one moodboard/square per fic) or a one shot. But please, if it’s longer than 500 words, put it under read more.

4. The fics can be fluff, smut, angst, etc if you feel like they would fit with the aesthetic of the moodboard you write for. Please remember to tag the fics with the right warnings before posting it.

5. Tag me when you post it, so I can keep tracks of the fics that are posted for this challenge and use the hashtag: #adarafaelbarbabirthdaybingo

Western Influences on Japanese Culture

Did you know that Japan was originally an isolated nation? However, that drastically changed on 8 July 1853, when US Commodore Matthew Perry’s squadron of four ships arrived at Tokyo Bay, marking the start of Japan opening up to the Western world. The Meiji Restoration (明治維新, meiji ishin) of 1868 would later accelerate the modernisation and westernisation of Japan. The Western culture was widely promoted throughout this island country, eventually leading to the blending of the Japanese and Western cultures. 

Literature

The introduction of Western literature to Japan had a significant impact on Japanese literature. Literary scholar Tsubouchi Shōyō’s critical essay Shōsetsu Shinzui emphasised on realism rather than didacticism while novelist Futabatei Shimei’s book, Ukigumo, the first Japanese modern novel, was written in colloquial instead of classical Japanese literary language.

Notably, Sōseki Natsume (夏目 漱石) and Haruki Murakami (村上 春樹), both prominent novelists in Japan who have published many critically-acclaimed books, have their works influenced by the West.

Hailed as the greatest writer of the Meiji Era, the author of the novel ‘I am a Cat’ firsthand witnessed the modernisation of Japan. The pain and solitude of the Japanese caused by modernity would become the main theme of Sōseki Natsume’s works, such as his masterpiece ‘Kokoro’.

The works of contemporary Japanese literature author Haruki Murakami are celebrated both locally and internationally. The writer himself has an immense interest in the Western culture which is evident in his novels beloved by many. Bohemian writer Franz Kafka is said to be one of his sources of inspiration.

Fashion

Kimonos are widely known to be traditional Japanese garments. Western fashion was first adopted for military uniforms. In the emperor’s court, a mandate to wear Western garments was passed for men in 1972 and for women in 1886. By 1890, although men wore suits, only noble women or wives of diplomats wore Western attire. Kimonos would still be commonly worn in the early Meiji period, though with Western accessories. It was only post-World War Two when there was a major transition to Western-style clothes due to heavy influence by America. Western clothing are referred to as yōfuku (洋服).

Architecture

Above is a picture of the Glover House, the oldest wooden Western-style building in Japan built by Scottish merchant Thomas Glover who moved to Nagasaki, Japan. This marvellous building is located in Glover Garden, an open-air museum. 

In the late 19th century, Japan rapidly assimilated Western architecture forms and structural technology into their buildings, giving rise to European-style buildings constructed out of reinforced bricks, and the usage of steel-reinforced concrete later in the Taishō era (大正).  

Tokyo Station (東京駅), built between the Meiji and Taishō eras, is in fact deemed to be legendary for its European-style architecture which was designed by Tatsuno Kingo (辰野 金吾). The architecture style of this red-brick building is noted to be Neo-Baroque. This majestic ceiling currently found in the station is actually a restored version of the original that was damaged during the war.

Anime/Manga/Games

Well-known examples of Japanese pop culture include anime, manga and games. 

Take anime for example. It is undeniable that many have drawn inspirations from Western culture. We now have anime with Western names, in Western settings and even adapted from Western lores!

~

Nevertheless, do you think that Japanese culture still shines through?

Today in Christian History

Today is Friday, March 27th, the 86th day of 2019. There are 280 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

853: Death of Haymo, a Saxon monk and scholar, and founder of the library of Halberstadt.

1329: Pope John XXII issues In Agro Dominico condemning twenty-eight propositions of the Dominican mystic Meister Eckhart.

1378: Death of Pope Gregory XI, the last internationally-agreed-upon pope to reign in Avignon. Antipopes will reign there, however, because rivalries for the papacy after his death will result in the “Great Schism,” in which popes and antipopes vie for control of Christendom.

1555: Nineteen-year-old William Hunter is burned to death in Brentwood, England, for refusing to accept the Catholic dogma of transubstantiation. He had resisted both threats and bribes.

1683: King Christian V of Denmark commissions pastor and poet Thomas Kingo to prepare a new hymnal for use in Danish churches.

1716: Death of George Keith, an Anglican rector. As a young man, Keith had joined the Quakers but later withdrew from them, believing their doctrine had drifted from truth, and became instead an Anglican priest. He had served as a missionary to American Quakers before becoming a rector in Sussex, England.

1837: Death at Bancoorah, India, of James, a convert from Hinduism. After his conversion, he had superintended a string of Christian schools and evangelized his own people as he had opportunity, overcoming the prejudices of his father, brothers, and some others who became Christians.

1889: Death in Britain of John Bright, an English Quaker parliamentarian, famous for his speeches and advocacy of reforms.

1920: Death of Francis Nathan Peloubet, American Congregational clergyman known for his annual volumes of Select Notes on the International Sunday School Lessons.

1929: Death in Lausanne, Switzerland, of Charles Henry Brent, an Episcopal priest active in the ecumenical movement. Two years before his death, he had presided over the 1927 World Conference on Faith and Order, in Lausanne, Switzerland.

1930: Bolsheviks shoot Basil Feofanovich Infantyev, a priest of the Bratskaya Church, for “anti-Soviet activity” because he had opposed communist renovations in the teaching and practice of the Russian Orthodox Church. They will harrass his widow after his execution.

Bolsheviks shoot Orthodox priest Basil Borisovich Chubinsky in Barabinsk on accusation of counter-revolutionary activities, and they exile his family.

1981: Alfred Selepe, Nazarene church-planter, pastor, and evangelist in South Africa is attacked by two young men, probably gangsters, and suffers eleven stab wounds but will recover after treatment.

1991: Missionary Lynda Bethea is beaten to death by robbers in Kenya when she and her husband stop to help a “wounded” African lying in the road.

1993: Security officers in Shaanxi Province, China, descend on a house church and beat the leaders. They then force the lay Christians to beat the leaders, too. They beat and expose some of the church’s women, hang some Christians from beams and beat them again, before forcing Lai Manping and several other badly-beaten Christians to crawl eighteen miles to a police station. Fearing than Lai will die in custody, they order him to leave. He is found dead on a roadside, having tried to crawl home.

Story 7/10

Ending 7/10

Overall

Eternals was generally fun to watch as a non-Marvel fan. The main storyline leaves you with questions which are answered as the plot moves along. The pacing was good and did not feel too long. 

Characters

Sersi. She has the power to change elements of objects. This could have been used in so many occasions, in so many more effective ways. Could she control the element to become anything she wished it to be? 

Ikaris. He is difficult to read. What are his true intentions? Where did he go when he knew the secrets. Also his powers are truly comic book-esque. Lasers from eyes! Flying vertically!

Kingo was a scene stealer.

Gilgamesh. He the loveable character. The contrast and relationship between him and Thena was interesting. 

Makkari and Druig pairing was cute. More please!

Phastos. His backstory was good.

Sprite looks like Newt from Maze Runner (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) from some angles. 

Quirks

The cast are really pretty. I wish they would give a Sersi more character. We did not get to see much of what she was thinking and her perspective.

The Bollywood references were really fun to watch from the dance sequence to the movie posters Kingo was in for over all those years.

The comedic relief portions were good at certain points.

Why name it uni-mind. It sounds terrible. All that comes to mind is Megamind. It is basically a hive mind or collective intelligence.
