AMBROSIANS , the name given to several religious See also:brother-hoods which at various times since the 14th See also:century have sprung up in and around See also:Milan; they have about as much connexion with St See also:Ambrose as the " Jeromites " who were found chiefly in upper See also:Italy and See also:Spain have with their See also:patron See also:saint. Only the See also:oldest of them, the Fratres S. Ambrosii ad Ne"rnus, had any-thing more than a very See also:local significance. This See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order is known from a See also:bull of See also:- GREGORY
- GREGORY (Gregorius)
- GREGORY (Grigorii) GRIGORIEVICH ORLOV, COUNT (1734-1783)
- GREGORY, EDWARD JOHN (1850-19o9)
- GREGORY, OLINTHUS GILBERT (1774—1841)
- GREGORY, ST (c. 213-C. 270)
- GREGORY, ST, OF NAZIANZUS (329–389)
- GREGORY, ST, OF NYSSA (c.331—c. 396)
- GREGORY, ST, OF TOURS (538-594)
Gregory XI. addressed to the monks of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church of St Ambrose outside Milan. These monks, it would appear, though under the authority of a See also:prior, had no See also:rule. In response to the See also:request of ' the See also:archbishop, the See also:pope had commanded them to follow the rule of See also:Augustine and to be known by the above name. They were further to recite the Ambrosian See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office. Subsequently the order had a number of See also:independent establishments in Italy which were See also:united into one See also:congregation by See also:Eugenius IV., their headquarters being at Milan. Their discipline' afterwards became so slack that an See also:appeal was made to See also:Cardinal See also:Borromeo asking him to reform their houses. By See also:Sixtus V. the order was amalgamated with the congregation of St See also:Barnabas, but See also:Innocent X. dissolved it in 1650.
The name Ambrosians is, also given to a 16th-century See also:Ana-baptist See also:sect, which laid claim to immediate communication with See also:God through the See also:Holy See also:Ghost. Basing their See also:theology upon the words of the See also:Gospel of St See also:John i. 9—" There was the'true See also:light which lighteth everyman, coming into the See also:world "—they denied the See also:necessity of any priests or ministers' to interpret the See also:Bible. Their See also:leader Ambrose went so far as to hold further that the See also:revelation which was vouchsafed to him was a higher authority than the Scriptures. The See also:doctrine of the Ambrosians, who belonged probably to that See also:section of the See also:Anabaptists known as Pneumatici, may be compared with the " Inner Light " . doctrine of the See also:Quakers.
