	Saint James the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		St James is the brother of John, the sons of Zebedee.
		The possibility that a cult of James was instituted to supplant the Galician cult of Priscillian (executed in 385) who was widely venerated across the north of Spain as a martyr to the bishops rather than as a heretic should not be overlooked.
		St James suffered martyrdom A.D. 44 (Acts 12:2), and, according to the tradition of the early Church, he had not yet left Jerusalem at this time (see Clement of Alexandria, Stromateis, VI; Apollonius, quoted by Eusebius, Hist.

	St. James the Less
		James, to distinguish him from the other apostle of the same name, the son of Zebedee, was called the Less; which appellation is supposed to have taken its rise, either from his having been called later to the apostleship than the former, or from the lowness of his stature, or from his youth.
		James governed that church in perpetual dangers, from the fury of the people and their violent persecutions; but his singular virtue procured him the veneration of the Jews themselves.
		The episcopal throne of St. James was shown with respect at Jerusalem, in the fourth century.

	The life and legend of St James the Apostle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The James whose shrine is at Santiago de Compostela, in north-west Spain, was the brother of John (possibly the Evangelist).
		James and John were present at the healing of Peter's mother-in-law (Mark1, 29), and at the raising of Jairus's daughter (Mark 5, 37; Luke 8, 51).
		He is known as James the Great to distinguish him from James the Less, or James the brother of the Lord (also called by Eusebius James the Just) who became a pillar of the Jerusalem community, and is thought to have been the first bishop of Jerusalem (Galatians 1, 19 and 2, 9).

	SS. Philip and James, Apostles
		Was this "James of Jerusalem" James the Less?
		James the bishop of Jerusalem was martyred in A.D. 62-66, bludgeoned (or stoned) to death at Jerusalem.
		The close association of St. James the Less with St. Philip in the Church calendar springs solely from the fact that his relics were ultimately brought to Rome and enshrined in the Church of the Holy Apostles along with those of St. Philip.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. James the Greater
		James is styled "the Greater" to distinguish him from the Apostle James "the Less," who was probably shorter of stature.
		The Galilean origin of St. James in some degree explains the energy of temper and the vehemence of character which earned for him and St. John the name of Boanerges, "sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17); the Galilean race was religious, hardy, industrious, brave, and the strongest defender of the Jewish nation.
		Several incidents scattered through the Synoptics suggest that James and John had that particular character indicated by the name "Boanerges," sons of thunder, given to them by the Lord (Mark 3:17); they were burning and impetuous in their evangelical zeal and severe in temper.

	St. James (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		St. James the Less, the author of the first Catholic Epistle, was the son of Alphaeus of Cleophas.
		James was martyred for the Faith by the Jews in the Spring of the year 62, although they greatly esteemed his person and had given him the surname of "James the Just." Tradition has always recognized him as the author of the Epistle that bears his name.
		James realizes full well the temptations and difficulties they encounter in the midst of paganism, and as a spiritual father, he endeavors to guide and direct them in the faith.

	Saint James the Less - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was a brother of the apostle Matthew and the son of Mary (whom Roman Catholics insist must not be confused with Mary, the mother of Jesus).
		He is also mentioned when his mother appears in Mark 15:40 (where he is labelled "less", "little" or "younger" depending on the translation) and Matthew 27:56; her marriage to Clopas is probably mentioned in John 19:25.
		Accordingly, the Markan identifier "The Less" may be interpreted as merely an expected Pauline criticism of the duly appointed leader of the Nazirite followers of Jesus with whom Paul was in direct conflict (see, for example, Galatians 2:12).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. James the Less
		The James (5) of Jude 1:1 must certainly be identified with James (3), the brother of the Lord and the Bishop of Jerusalem.
		This identification requires the identity of Mary, the mother of James (Matthew 27:56; Mark 15:40), with Mary the wife of Cleophas (John 19:25), and, consequently, the identity of Alpheus (2) and Clopas (4).
		James was called to the Apostolate with his brother Jude; in all the four lists of the Apostles, he stands at the head of the third group (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13).

	The Apostle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		St. Matthew is called by two evangelists Levi, and by St. Mark "the son of Alpheus"; it is probable that Levi was his original name and that he took, or was given, that of Matthew ("the gift of Yahweh") when he became a follower of our Lord.
		It is said that St. Matthew, after having made a harvest of souls in Judea, went to preach Christ to the nations of the East, but of this nothing is known for certain.
		The eagle is generally said to represent St. John himself, who in the first lines of his gospel soars up to the contemplation of the eternal generation of the Word.

		The diocese took action against the Church of St. James the Less in East Falls and the CSJL Foundation with the filing of a petition to show cause in the Orphan's Division of Philadelphia Common Pleas Court on July 26.
		The diocese is asking the court to declare null and void St. James' 1997 act of merging the parish into the nonprofit corporation, CSJL Foundation, citing that the entity was created to divert church property to the foundation in the event the parish disengaged from the diocese.
		The diocese's intention is to regain control of the St. James property and endowments, and to recover any property that may have been improperly diverted from the corporation in violation of the fiduciary duties of its officers and directors.

		O'Keefe also found that St. James, which withdrew from the Diocese in April 1999, could not disaffiliate itself without the Diocese's permission and has to allow the Diocese to appoint a new vestry (Board of Directors).
		St. James' leaders are hopeful about the parish's chances of success before an appellate court, although Reverend Ousley said that if an appeal to the ruling should fail, the congregation (approximately 100 people) would probably choose to worship elsewhere.
		To avoid this fate, the Church of St. James the Less created a non-profit corporation, the Church of St. James the Less Foundation (CSJL), in April 1999 and the church merged with it.

	St James the Less Episcopal Church, Bishopbriggs, Glasgow, Scotland
		St James' ethos is open, inquiring and non-judgemental with strong emphases on education, the role of music and on social justice.
		The congregation of St James the Less was first gathered together in a rented shop in Springburn in 1875 as a mission of St Luke's, Grafton Street.
		In the case of St James this was mitigated by those of an Anglican church background moving into the rapidly expanding Bishopbriggs and bringing new life to the Springburn congregation.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Epistle of St. James
		In the sixteenth century its inspired nature was contested by Erasmus and Cajetan; Luther strongly repudiated the Epistle as "a letter of straw", and "unworthy of the apostolic Spirit", and this solely for dogmatic reasons, and owing to his preconceived notions, for the epistle refutes his heretical doctrine that Faith alone is necessary for salvation.
		The Council of Trent dogmatically defined the Epistle of St. James to be canonical.
		James seems to have been moved to write his Epistle on witnessing that the first fervour of the Jewish Christians had grown cold, and that, owing to various causes, both external and internal, a certain spirit of discouragement had declared itself amongst them.

		I therefore assume that Mary the mother of James etc is not the same as the Virgin Mary, and is either not mentioned by John at all or is identical with his "Mary the wife of Clopas," who is probably the sister-in-law of the Virgin Mary.
		It is tempting to identify James the son of Alphaeus (2) with James the son of Cleopas (5) by supposing that "Cleopas" and "Alphaeus" are two different attempts to reproduce the same Semitic name (probably beginning with an Ayin) in Greek, but linguists mostly think this very doubtful.
		James son of Cleopas is called James the Less (Minor, Younger) in Mark 15:40, and James Son of Alphaeus is also called James the Less in popular usage, partly because the two are assumed to be the same, and partly because of the need to distinguish the two Apostles both named James.
