Summer School Religious studies People, priests and prophets
TThe Monastery Santa Croce del Corvo, steeped in history and legend, is located in the town of Ameglia in the province of La Spezia, on the far slope of the Caprione headland, overlooking the mouth of the Magra river. It was founded February 2nd, 1176 in accordance with the will of the bishop of Luni. In 1952 cardinal Anastasio Ballestrero, the Provincial Superior of the Carmelites of Liguria, bought the estate and turned it into a spirituality center. Since then the Santa Croce Monastery, run by the Discalced Carmelite Friars, has been offering hospitality, and with its ample indoor and outdoor spaces, it can also accomodate large groups.The Monastery is located in the heart of what was once called ancient Lunigiana, a rich land of art and history, of luscious landscapes where life is highly liveable. Its strategic geographical location on the border between Liguria and Tuscany makes it a coveted destination for cultural and spiritual tourism.
A short presentation
F or this second edition of the Summer School in Religious
Studies we chose a topic to continue on the same path as
last year. In 2016 we considered the “Holy Scriptures” and the
problems of interpretation of the texts. This year we want to focus
on the interpreters and mediators between God and the community
of believers. Which part of the community is legitimated to
interpret the word of God, and – more radically – to speak
with God and in the name of God? Who has the faculty and the
power to obtain from God what the people need for the salvation?
If everybody can speak to God, what is the role of the privileged
charismas that the community recognises? How are these charismas
to be found and organized? Can a charisma be transmitted? What
kind of conflicts can arise in the community between such
different charismas and roles?
One can discuss these problems from different points of view, and
in different disciplines (anthropology, sociology of religion, history
and philosophy of religion). The Summer School 2017 focuses on
some important themes in the history of Christianity, but also of
Hebraism and Islam - religious systems with strong links with the
Christian world. The Summer School is meant
to investigate the different meanings of priesthood and
prophetism, and their polarization in these three religious traditions.
Our aim is to consider the tensions and conflicts between the
different charismas and their owners, and to enlighten historical paths
by which they were (or weren’t) able to overcome these tensions.
