The location called Trinity is situated nearby Kotor (Cattaro), and was most probably named after the Saint Trinity Church, built at the same place. The church does not exist any more. Several documents regarding that church have been kept. One of them, written in September 1476, is subject of analysis of this contribution. As it happened, instead of a priest died in May of the same year, the church was taken care by the Minor Council upon the suggestion of the city of Kotor. The election of the same priest was performed in the Minor Council, upon suggestion of the two electors, by secret voting of all members of the Council. It seems the document to be the only one from the Archive of Kotor (today kept in the State Archive of Zadar), in which has been described the voting in the Minor Council, with presences of the two members of Council, who had voted with the golden balls (balotta aurea electionis). As it is possible to see from this case, as well as from the other documents kept in the city archives along the eastern Adriatic Coast, their role was to suggest personalities for important city duties. It is also possible to see from the document that the Minor Council of the Kotor Municipality had separated a book in which the records for the sessions or at least decisions of the Council was registered. The second interesting thing in this document is the name of the deceased priest. His name was don Matej Curilica, which should be understood as a nickname, given because of that he had probably served upon the Roman ritual, but in Slavic language, from the books written in Cyrillic or Glagolitic alphabet. The first name for the Glagolitic alphabet was kjurilica. There are strong reasons for presumptions that still in the first half of the 12th century the Glagolitic alphabet was in use in the regions southeast from Dubrovnik.

The article is a new contribution to the local history of Opole of 1933–1945 in the light of not known and not published archival documents about the pre-war Nazi leaders of the Opole Regency and the anti-Hitler opposition as well. Those documents are stored both in the State Archive in Opole (file: Gestapo Oppeln) and in the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN Archive – various archive files). The first part of the article describes the Nazi elite of the Opole Regency in the period of 1933–1945. This interesting and complicated history of Opole and Opole region concerns the operation of the NSDAP monoparty, as well as its affiliated organizations and repressive organs of a totalitarian state. This part of the article was developed mainly from various files from the Institute of National Remembrance. The second part describes the anti-Hitler opposition in the Opole Regency in the period of 1933–1945. Very interesting and also not known in the scientific circulation are materials about political opponents, collected by Gestapostelle Oppeln, which are right now being published by the author of the article, following the previous article about the files relating to the Jews (dealt with in articles by J. Oszytko) and to the Poles (in a book by Dermin and Popiołek) which were kept by the Gestapo in Opole. To summarize, the article casts light on the history of the city, with respect to, on the one hand, the rise of German totalitarianism changing into one-party domination of the NSDAP party, and – on the other hand – the scope of persecution of parties and persons standing in opposition to Hitler’s rule in our city and region.

Dominique Iogna-Prat’s latest book, Cité de Dieu, cité des hommes. L’Église et l’architecture de la société, 1200–1500, follows on both intellectually and chronologically from La Maison Dieu. Une histoire monumentale de l’Église au Moyen Âge (v. 800–v. 1200). It presents an essay on the emergence of the town as a symbolic and political figure of society (the “city of man”) between 1200 and 1700, and on the effects of this development on the Church, which had held this function before 1200. This feeds into an ambitious reflection on the origins of modernity, seeking to move beyond the impasse of political philosophy—too quick to ignore the medieval centuries and the Scholastic moment—and to relativize the effacement of the institutional Church from the Renaissance on. In so doing, it rejects the binary opposition between the Church and the state, proposes a new periodization of the “transition to modernity,” and underlines the importance of spatial issues (mainly in terms of representation). This last element inscribes the book in the current of French historiography that for more than a decade has sought to reintroduce the question of space at the heart of social and political history. Iogna-Prat’s stimulating demonstration nevertheless raises some questions, notably relating to the effects of the Protestant Reformation, the increasing power of states, and the process of “secularization.” Above all, it raises the issue of how a logic of the polarization of space was articulated with one of territorialization in the practices of government and the structuring of society—two logics that were promoted by the ecclesial institution even before states themselves.

To better understand, on the one hand, the remarkable and largely commendable transformation that Singapore has undergone over the last century and, on the other hand, its vulnerability, answers should be sought to the following two questions. Does not the relentless overhaul of Singaporean living space, nearly always considered as a fait accompli, yet always subject to being revised by the state, lead to territorial alienation among the city state’s citizens and permanent residents? Just as classical Athens and even classical Rome came to depend on a constant and everincreasing supply of foreign labour, Singapore has reached a point where its dependence on a modern and imported form of lumpenproletariat has become apparently irreversible. Is this sustainable?

This chapter focuses on the state of Greek Orthodoxy in America at the end of the twentieth century. It assesses whether the Church under Archbishop Iakovos overreached in its efforts to Americanize, which alienated the Ecumenical Patriarchate. It analyzes the patriarchate's intervention, which illustrated the administrative limits the Greek Orthodox Church in America faces in its efforts to assimilate. The chapter describes the patriarchate's ability to invoke the transnational character of Orthodoxy in the new era of globalization. It explores the end of the evolution of Greek Orthodoxy into some form of American Orthodoxy through its fusion with the other Eastern Orthodox Churches.

Abstract Protection of the church and state stability through the absence of religious 'shallowness': views on religion-policy of Jeremias Gotthelf and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel out of a spirit of reconciliation. The article re-examines a thesis of Paul Baumgartner published in 1945: "Jeremias Gotthelf's, 'Zeitgeist and Bernergeist', A Study on Introduction and Interpretation", that if the Swiss writer and keen Hegel-opponent Jeremias Gotthelf had read any book of the philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, some of this would have received his recognition. Both Gotthelf and Hegel see the Reformation to be the cause of the emergence of a strong state. For Gotthelf, this marks the beginning of a process of strengthening the state at the expense of the church. Hegel, on the other hand, considers the modern state to be the reality of freedom, produced by the Christian 'religion of freedom' (Rph, §270 Z., p. 430). In contrast to Gotthelf, for whom only Christ can reconcile the state and religion, Hegel praises the French Revolution as "reconciliation of the divine with the world". For Gotthelf, the French Revolution was only a poor imitation of the process of spiritual and political liberation initiated by the Reformation, through which Christ reduced people to their original liberty. Nevertheless, both Gotthelf and Hegel want to protect the state and the church from falling apart, they reject organizational unity of state – religion – church in the sense of a theocracy, and demand the protection of church communities.

We set the goal to study the development of passenger and freight motor-vehicle transport, the effectiveness of which ensures the continuous operation of large and small industrial enterprises, as well as the urban trading network and the services sector. We analyze the problem on the basis of archival sources drawn from the funds of the State Archive of Contemporary History of the Ulyanovsk Region (SACH UR) and the State Archive of the Ulyanovsk Region (SAUR), which are first put into scientific circulation, as well as materials from a monograph and dissertation research by authors from both regional and Russian level. In the course of the work, we reveal the trends in the development of passenger and freight motor-vehicle transport, its problems and achievements. We consider the measures taken by local party bodies to increase the functioning efficiency of motor-vehicle transport during the twelfth Five-year plan, the development trends of urban transport, as well as its problems and achievements. As a result of the study, we conclude that passenger transport is an important link in the urban economy system, without which the ex-istence of the city as a whole would not have been possible, and its development peak occurred precisely in the years under consideration (1986–1990) when intensive construction of industrial facilities and housing was carried out in the city. The intensive development of urban transport was also associated, with the labor of rationalizers who developed new projects of innovative technologies introduction, which made it possible to increase labor efficiency.

According to archivists a photograph can be both an illustrative material and a historical source. But still there is no handbook which can describe all aspects connected with photograpfic documentation. In the State Archive in Rzeszów (complex “Archiwum Podworskie Mierów-Jędrzejowiczów w Staromieściu”) there is the small separated collection of photographies. They present: portrait photos (Tytus Jan Mateusz hrabia Mier, Henryka z Mierów Komorowska) and watches with a miniature portrait of Jan hrabia Mier; postcards with photos of military manoeuvres; the portrait photo (Lubina z Rogoyskich Mierowa) and a photo for official documents (Jan Feliks Jędrzejowicz). The family of Mier which had Scotish and Calvinist roots and the family of Jędrzejowicz of Armenian and merchant origin were connected by the marriage contracted in 1878 in Vienna between Adam Jędrzejowicz (1847–1924), the son of Jan Kanty and Maria (maiden name Straszewska) from Zaczernie and Gabriela Felicja (maiden name Mier) (1850–1939), the daughter of Feliks and Felicja, divorced with Zdzisław Tyszkiewicz, the heir to landed property of Kolbuszowa. After the wedding Staromieście became their family home (now it is within the city limits of Rzeszów). Then Jan Feliks (1879–1942), the only son of this couple, managed the estate. Photographs provide valuable information both in the textual (notes connected with presented on photos persons, things, events) and illustrative stratum.

Despite applying Islamic sharia, the city of Langsa, through Universitas Samudera, was able to become a newmagnet for non-Muslim students as an educational destination in Aceh. On the other hand, as a minority, theirexistence needs to be explored. This study aims to describe the forms of tolerance accepted by non-Muslimstudents, describe the impact of tolerance on their daily lives, and describe the power relations between lecturersand non-Muslim students. This research took place from May to October 2019 and involved five non-Muslimstudents, two religious lecturers and a campus authority representative. This study uses a qualitative approachwith ethnographic types, and uses three methods of data collection, namely observation (fieldnotes), interviews(open-ended questions) and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) which are analyzed using reading, describing, andclassifying techniques. The results of this study indicate that there are several forms of tolerance accepted bynon-Muslim students, namely; the option to not take the semester exams and take grades from the church, thefreedom to work on assignments according to their perspectives and beliefs, and given the freedom to participatein discussions. Apart from the power of lecturers to carry out Islamization, religious lecturers carry out theirduties professionally. The effort of Islamization is carried out by providing a correct explanation of Islamaccompanied by evidence of its truth, not in striking and coercive ways.

This article discusses the idea of a hospitable church that struggles under the sacred canopy of the state, especially in the Indonesian context. By using Stanley Hauerwas’ social ethics and ecclesiology that views the church as an exemplary community, this article proposes an ecclesial model that maintains the tension of being true to its nature on the one hand and being political on the other hand. Such a model is demonstrated through its four dimensions: beholding, becoming, belonging, and befriending. The paper ends with a conclusion, in which the author reflects on the four dimensions by using the perspective of the four classical marks of the church (notae ecclesiae). AbstrakArtikel ini membahas gagasan mengenai gereja dengan identitas-ramah yang berjuang di bawah kanopi suci negara, khususnya dalam konteks Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan etika sosial dan eklesiologi Stanley Hauerwas, yang memandang gereja sebagai komunitas eksemplaris, artikel ini mengusul-kan model gerejawi yang mempertahankan ketegangan antara menjadi setia pada hakikatnya di satu sisi dan menjadi politis di sisi lain. Model semacam itu ditunjukkan melalui empat dimensinya: beholding, becoming, belonging, dan befriending. Makalah diakhiri dengan kesimpulan yang di dalamnya penulis merefleksikan empat dimensi di atas dengan menggunakan perspektif empat tanda klasik gereja (notae ecclesiae).
