"Dear Abbeys" Monks & Monasteries of Europe

Lecturer: Barry A. Greenlaw

Do you know the difference between a monastery and an abbey, a convent and a nunnery? Can you tell a Benedictine from a Cistercian? What did St. Bernard have against St. Benedict? Did charity really begin at home? How did Bede become Venerable, and why did Hilda summer in Whitby? If you were a guest in a monastery would you know the difference between the cellerarium and the necessarium (you had better)? Why did the pilgrim cross the road? If you have been staying awake at nights puzzling over the answers to these and similar questions, then you will want to enroll in this 10-week course, to be presented this spring at St. Martin's Activity Center.

From their establishment in Egypt, we will follow the fascinating history of the religious house of medieval Europe, the Orders, their Practices, their Buildings, and eventually their demise. We'll look at the great houses of France (Cluny, Mont St. Michel), Austria (Melk), Spain (Montserrat), Greece (Mt. Athos), and of course England (Fountains, Westminster Abbey) among many others. And we will conclude with the story of the Dissolution of the English houses under Henry VIII, and a consideration of the surviving (and surprising) remains.

This 10-week course will be presented three times each week - on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, and on Tuesday evenings. The classes will begin on February 16-17, and conclude on April 27-28. There will be a one-week break April 6-7.

From Achilles to Alexander: The History of Ancient Greek Civilization

The Great Shah-n-Shah, the King of Kings, Master of the Earth Xerxes, the Lord of the Four Quarters dismissed them (the Greeks) as a gaggle of impudent rabble rousers. It was a mistake his predecessors and ancestors also had made. The Lord of the Four Quarters descended upon the Greeks with an army and navy of over a million men, the legend says. One year later his armada lay at the bottom of the sea and the bones of his soldiers lay scattered all over Greece.

Ever a fractious bunch, the ancient Greeks could pull together when occasion demanded and perform incredible feats. But many suspected that it was, in fact, their perennial fractiousness that propelled them to their landmark accomplishments in war, politics, art, architecture, philosophy and theology.

They worshipped the same gods, they spoke mutually intelligible dialects, they had a common literary heritage, they all hailed Achilles as the greatest of warriors, they traded with one another, and they warred against one another. Not until the "semi-barbaric" Alexander brought them to heel did the land of the Greeks feel the winds of peace - but only briefly.

In this two-part series of lectures we will trace the rise and fall of ancient Greek civilization from its Bronze Age beginnings in the Aegean to the three-continent empire of Alexander the Great; and, finally, examine the continuing legacy of ancient Greece.

PART I: Mondays, January 25 - February 22, 2010; 7:00-8:30 p.m.
1. The Minoan Thalassocracy.
2. The Mycenaeans: Warriors and Merchants.
3. The Wrath of Achilles: The Trojan War.
4. Greeks are Political Animals: The Polis.
5. The Golden Age of Ancient Greece.

PART II: Mondays, March 1 - 29, 2010; 7:00-8:30 p.m.
6. Suicide: The Peloponnesian War.
7. The Rise of the Macedonians.
8. Alexander the Great.
9. The Hellenistic Empires.
10. The Legacy of Ancient Greece.

"Dear Abbeys" Monks & Monasteries of Europe

Lecturer: Barry A. Greenlaw

Do you know the difference between a monastery and an abbey, a convent and a nunnery? Can you tell a Benedictine from a Cistercian? What did St. Bernard have against St. Benedict? Did charity really begin at home? How did Bede become Venerable, and why did Hilda summer in Whitby? If you were a guest in a monastery would you know the difference between the cellerarium and the necessarium (you had better)? Why did the pilgrim cross the road? If you have been staying awake at nights puzzling over the answers to these and similar questions, then you will want to enroll in this 10-week course, to be presented this spring at St. Martin's Activity Center.

From their establishment in Egypt, we will follow the fascinating history of the religious house of medieval Europe, the Orders, their Practices, their Buildings, and eventually their demise. We'll look at the great houses of France (Cluny, Mont St. Michel), Austria (Melk), Spain (Montserrat), Greece (Mt. Athos), and of course England (Fountains, Westminster Abbey) among many others. And we will conclude with the story of the Dissolution of the English houses under Henry VIII, and a consideration of the surviving (and surprising) remains.

This 10-week course will be presented three times each week - on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, and on Tuesday evenings. The classes will begin on February 16-17, and conclude on April 27-28. There will be a one-week break April 6-7.

If you have questions or need further information, please call Barry Greenlaw at 713/781-9028.

"Skills, not Drills!" This is not babysitting: I'm really teaching the game. I have a vision for the end product and a real keen eye for teaching and emphasizing the progressive skills that lead up to the finished product. I have very specific terms for every skill that we execute. I wrap all of the learning up into fun, competitive games so that in a way I "trick them" into learning the skills. The clinic is organized, fast, and fun. Bring your youngsters and let me help put them in a position to have future success.

The lead clinician is John Herndon, best known to Houston area youngsters as "CH," the director of the Rice Owl summer basketball camps.

BALL HANDLING - stationary handling, stationary dribbling, dribble moves.
