Topics:Pope, Second Council of Nicaea, Byzantine IconoclasmPages: 2 (1004 words)Published: December 13, 2014

﻿The veneration of icons had been banned by Emperor Leo III because he suspected Christians as executing Idolatry among religious matters but he died in AD 741 but the iconoclasm hasn’t been stopped there because it was continued by his successors especially his son Constantine V, In 754 Constantine summoned the Council of Hieria in which some 330 to 340 bishops participated and which was the first church council to concern itself primarily with religious imagery. Constantine seems to have been closely involved with the council and it endorsed an iconoclast position. The council of Hieria treat itself as the 7th ecumenical council. But 33 years later the Second Council of Nicaea called by Empress Irene that is supported by Pope Adrian I overturned the council of Hieria. The Second Council of Nicaea II met in AD 787 in Nicaea to restore the veneration of religious icons. In AD 786, the council met first time in the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople. However, soldiers in collusion with the opposition entered the church, and broke up the assembly. As a result, the council stop their session. The council was again summoned to meet, this time in Nicaea, since Constantinople was still distrusted. The council assembled on September 24, 787 at the church of Hagia Sophia. It numbered about 350 members; 308 bishops or their representatives signed. Tarasius presided and seven sessions were held in Nicaea. Proceedings of the Council

First Session (September 24, 787) — Three bishops, Basilius of Ancyra, Theodore of Myra, and Theodosius of Amorium begged for pardon for the heresy of iconoclasm. Second Session (September 26, 787) — Papal legates read the letters of Pope Hadrian I asking for agreement with veneration of images, to which question the bishops of the council answered: "We follow, we receive, we admit". Third Session (September 28, 787) — Other bishops having made their abjuration, were received into the council. Fourth Session (October 1, 787) — Proof...

What was the Council of Nicaea II
The Second Council of Nicaea met in 787 where the first Council of Nicaea had met in 325. It was the stern edicts of the iconoclastic council at Hiereia in 754 AD under Constantine V working with Patriarch Paul IV which had brought about the policy of iconoclasm that would now be reversed by what was called the Seventh Ecumenical Council (Nicaea II) in 787 AD under Irene as regent of her young son, Constantine VI with an unexpected ally, Pope Hadrian I. These two reached out to each other seemingly rejoining Eastern to Western Churches, though it was in fact the very last Synod that the two churches would attend to formulate a common dogma. Still, that they clarified in the 8th Century during a tumultuous dispute about icons known as the "iconoclastic" controversy the theology and the proper purposes of the icon and related religious images which remained effectively a religious vehicle of both the Eastern and Western Churches to our day remains an important achievement of this Council.
An important question this essay will try to address, one repeatedly raised without a conclusive explanation in the considerable literature on the subject, is why the issue of icons which went back to the earliest days of Christianity and continued long after the iconic crisis of Nicaea II had in this...

...various local churches. This arguing would convince Constantine to call the Council of Nicea.
According to its opponents, especially the bishop Athanasius, Arius’ teaching reduced the Son to a demigod, reintroduced polytheism (since worship of the Son was not abandoned), and undermined the Christian concept of redemption since only he who was truly God could be deemed to have reconciled man to the Godhead. Despite the best efforts of the Orthodox Church to stamp out Arianism, there are branches of the belief that continue to this present day. One of them is the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Founded in the mid to late nineteenth century by Charles Taze Russell, this group contains several million adherents in numerous countries. Like the ancient Arians, these modern day Witnesses believe that Jesus is a created being who is therefore not eternal and not God. They specifically argue that Jesus was Michael the Archangel. However, by examining a number of Scriptures, their contentions do not hold up.
The Arian heresy had infected parts of the Church all the way from Alexandria through Palestine, Syria, Asia Minor to Greece. It was bad enough that it viciated the very heart of Christian doctrine from within, but there was also danger that it would weaken the Empire itself, and so Constantine, who was trying hard to consolidate the Empire, took an active part in trying to solve the matter. He called for a council of bishops of the Church. At first it...

...﻿Summary: Act I, scene i
Antonio, a Venetian merchant, complains to his friends, Salarino and Solanio, that a sadness has overtaken him and dulled his faculties, although he is at a loss to explain why. Salarino and Solanio suggest that his sadness must be due to his commercial investments, for Antonio has dispatched several trade ships to various ports. Salarino says it is impossible for Antonio not to feel sad at the thought of the perilous ocean sinking his entire investment, but Antonio assures his friends that his business ventures do not depend on the safe passage of any one ship. Solanio then declares that Antonio must be in love, but Antonio dismisses the suggestion.
The three men encounter Bassanio, Antonio’s kinsman, walking with two friends named Lorenzo and Gratiano. Salarino and Solanio bid Antonio farewell and depart. When Gratiano notices Antonio’s unhappiness and suggests that the merchant worries too much about business, Antonio responds that he is but a player on a stage, destined to play a sad part. Gratiano warns Antonio against becoming the type of man who affects a solemn demeanor in order to gain a wise reputation, then he takes his leave with Lorenzo. Bassanio jokes that Gratiano has terribly little to say, claiming that his friend’s wise remarks prove as elusive as “two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff” (I.i.115–116). Antonio asks Bassanio to tell him about the clandestine love that Bassanio is harboring. In reply, Bassanio...

Week Three Summary
Team C Reflection
This week I learned about qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitative is exploratory research that helps develop an idea when there is uncertainty. This type of research is done with interviews of individual groups of people or focus groups. Quantitative research is research using numerical data. This type of research is done in bigger groups in different surveys types. Some examples are online or telephone interviews (Cooper & Schindler, 2011).
This week material helped me receive another perspective on using surveys. I enjoy taking some surveys however; when knowing I am being tested on something I tend to tense up. There is various ways to conduct surveys examples online or emails. Surveys can be simple and can be asked detailed questions depending on the research that is being explored. The way a survey is created will vary from topic-to-topic, and the outcomes will be different as well. I want to own my own business, and in order to create the right business for my area I have to research to ensure my business can survive. The material has given me the needed educational material to begin researching the required information to apply into my own potential business. When the business is established I can implement small surveys to my customers to provide feedback about my business (Cooper & Schindler, 2011).

...THE COUNCIL OF NICEA
The great Council of Nicea met from May to the end of July in 325. It was the first attempt to summon a general council at which the churches from every part of the Roman Empire should be represented. Constantine sponsored the event, with the government providing all transportation, food and lodging for the bishops and their entourages. No records were kept which identified all of the attendees, and varying accounts from that time placeing the number of attending bishops somewhere between 250 and 320. A majority of the bishops who attended the council were not aware of the conflict raging between the Arians and the partisans of Alexander of Alexandria. Debate consumed several weeks. Once the Creed in its final form was written and presented to the bishops, Ossius (the chairman of the proceedings) signed the Creed. It was then taken around to the bishops to be signed, but seventeen refused. Eustathius and his allies tried at this point to get the so called Arians expelled from the church, only to discover that even though nearly all of the bishops in attendance were willing to endorse the Creed, there was little support for this action. When Constantine assured the dissenting bishops that they could avoid being deposed (as well as avoid any other punishment) merely by signing the Creed, all but two agreed Two bishops remained steadfast in their refusal to sign the Creed of Nicea: Secundus...

UN Security Council Resolution Summary
North Korea’s possession of nuclear weapon has always been a threat to international peace. However, it appears that the world truly became threatened by such possession due to the horrific event of 9/11 in 2001. Having the world media’s full attention from then on, North Korea’s continuous nuclear tests and ballistic missiles have only caused further threat to the international peace and security. On March 2013, the UN Security Council has proposed its fifth resolution 2094 regarding the matter of North Korea. Adding on to the past UN Security Council Resolution, it binds North Korea by restricting and controlling wider range of sanctions as well as forbidding further proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
With the wake of North Korea’s October 9, 2006 nuclear test, resolution 1718 was passed by the UN Security Council on Oct 14 2006. Resolution 1718, like other resolutions, was passed under Chapter 7, Article 41 of the UN Charter which gave the Security Council authority to decide what measures can be taken, without involving the use of military action. Not only did the resolution 1718 forbid North Korea from lunching ballistic missiles, but it also included a range of sanctions that was meant to prevent North Korea from developing anymore of these programs. The resolution’s sanction limited imports and...

...Executive Summaries are much like any other summary in that their main goal is to provide a condensed version of the content of a longer report.
Definition of Executive Summary
The executive summary is usually no longer than 10% of the original document. It can be anywhere from 1-10 pages long, depending on the report's length. Executive summaries are written literally for an executive who most likely DOES NOT have the time to read the original.
• Executive summaries make a recommendation
• Accuracy is essential because decisions will be made based on your summary by people who have not read the original
• Executive summaries frequently summarize more than one document
Types of SummariesSummaries written in order to recommend a specific course of action are executive summaries.
Summaries that highlight the major points of a long piece are called abstracts. The purpose of an abstract is to allow readers to decide whether or not they want to read the longer text.

Huang xiaoxiaArticle: Using netnography research method to reveal the underlying dimensions of the customer/tourist experience
This study aims to examine the concept of customer experience in the tourist industry by using netnography research method. Customer experience is deﬁned as the internal and subjective response that customers have of any direct or indirect contact with a company. The origin of “customer experience” is the book, Experience Economy. The authors claimed that experiences are the new economic offerings. However, there is no agreement about what constitutes customer experience. Therefore, this qualitative study aims to address the question of what are the dimensions customer experience as a domain specific construct.
The researchers started from two approaches, deductive and inductive. In a deductive approach, the researcher begins with an abstract, logical relationship among concepts, and then moves towards concrete empirical evidence (Neuman, 2003, p. 51). Meanwhile, in the inductive approach the researcher begins with detailed observations of the world and moves towards more abstract generalizations and ideas (Neuman, 2003, p. 51). With respect to the current study, the researcher followed the Creswell model in order to illustrate the research design. There are four sets of assumptions concerning the knowledge claims; post-positivism, constructivism, advocacy/participatory, and pragmatism (Creswell, 2003). .However, most...
