Brainstorm result of C. Giesen( 2025-05-11)
ToDos:
- check for suitable date:
- 2028 gives time for organisation and does not collide with anniversaries so far.
- A time february to may or october to november would make the thick clerical clothing more convnient, especially if it is south of the alps
- make a list of possible attendees
- where are they located, that the travel would be not too much of an effort?
- what participants except clerics are suitable?
- Kitchen crew
- servants
- Nobles? For what reason? Escort of clerics, showing off while those are having the council 😉 ?
- make a decision of what to reenact. Proposals:
- a historical event at a historical place (proposal of Alessandro de Troia: synode of Toia 1120. Sources regarding participants and subjects pending. Calixt II was present.)
- a historical event not neccessarily at a historic place: Proposals: Synod of Fritzlar 1118: papal legat Cardinal Cuno of panaestene confirms the ban on Emperor Henry V, kicks the bishop of Bamberg for ignoring the ban on Henry and Norbert of Xanten has to defend against accusations of Heresy
- a made-up synod: attendees free, location free, subjects free
- For an audience a program has to be developed (Similar to the „negotiations“ in Lenzburg), best suiting would be a discussion in latin with translations in english ond local language either on sheets or projected on the wall?
- maybe an historical liturgy, if the local church applies for it? Contact for s.o. who knows what to do is possible. But that would be a real mass – maybe a problem for some attendees, if not catholic. Otherwise a „played liturgy“ which might be a problem to get permission to do in a church.
- The one nearest to the event location will be responsible for
- accomodation of the participants
- Event-Location (capitulum or similar, not inside a church?)
- advertising?
