Believe you me DF’ing is not as easy as you the Friday were very mixed especially when on the Wednesday think, give it a try and you will see what I mean. we were hit by Storm ALI, so it was a major hoping that it Congratulations again to the winners and commiserations to would have passed by the Friday, thankfully it did. On the Fri- the rest of us. day we did have rain in the afternoon but as said before it ended up an excellent evening. The difference between or first Bob GM4UYZ DF night in May and this one was this time it was done in the darkness. That in itself certainly added to the fun of trying to find that elusive fox. The fox for this event was Rickie GM1PLY. Like the other previous DF nights the fox was given notifica- tion, before the event started informing the “fox” of how many cars were taking part. Well the 6 teams that took part this time assembling what was where the old Pond Hall stood. The teams consisted of Cam- bell MM0DXC and Issy 2M0ISY in car 1, Robin MM0VTV and Paul MM0VPR in car 2, Tom GM8MJV and Robert MM1BJO in car 3, Lon WA6AEE and Liz 2M0GLD in car 4, Tim MM0TKE and Steph MM0SBO in car 5 and lastly Cephas MM0INS and me GM4UYZ in car 6.

  • One Man's Fourfhousanders
    One Man's Fourfhousanders PETER FLEMING (Plates 41-47) No one in my family had ever shown more than scant interest in hills and mountains, and none could see any sense in climbing them. During my schooldays, as I never took an interest in sport and hated football and cricket, I was written off on school reports as an unmotivated weakling when it came to competitive games. But a new world opened up for me suddenly and dramatically when, at the age of 14, I discovered the Lakeland hills almost on my doorstep, and so it all began. Twelve months after I had left school the headmaster proudly announced at morning assembly that an Old Boy had made headlines in the local paper, upholding the school's high standards ofinitiative and achievement, and setting a fine example which he hoped everyone would remember and strive to maintain. This Old Boy had entered the first mountain trial in the Lake District as the youngest competitor and had come third over the finishing line, ahead of seasoned marathon and mountain runners. At last I had found a challenge, and it seemed that I had a natural affinity towards mountains. Four years later, in 1956- after an intensive apprenticeship, summer and winter, on Lakeland and Scottish hills -I made my first venture to the Alps. Four ofus from our local rambling club - Doug, Colin, Bill and I- drove out in a Ford Popular to Randa in Switzerland, where we took the rack railway to Zermatt. My neck ached with gazing at those awesome mountains.

Credit required. Cover photo by Hugues de BUYER-MIMEURE on Unsplash. The Observatory’s Mission To contribute to a Europe where Christians may fully exercise their fundamental rights to freedom of religion, conscience, expression, and association, without fear of reprisals, censorship, threats, or violence. Who we are The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians is a registered non- governmental organization in Austria and a member of the Fundamental Rights Platform of the EU-Fundamental Rights Agency. What we do » Research, analyze, document, and report cases of intolerance and discrimination against Christians in Europe; » Inform and educate the public, lawmakers, and international institutions about the range of hostilities and marginalization Christians and Christian institutions face in Europe by providing reliable and objective data; » Empower Christians to tell their stories and freely live their faith in the public square; » Advocate for remedies; and » Emphasize the vital role religion plays in a mature and peaceful society. The Observatory’s task is to analyze the situation for Christians in Europe. We do so not in order to compare or diminish the persecution they experience in other parts of the world, but to stay vigilant in the protection of human rights. Our work aims at encouraging victims of intolerance and discrimination to tell their stories, and to raise awareness among all people of good will that the phenomenon ought to be taken seriously and is in need of a common response.

As we all know, climate change can hit at any time at any place. It probably comes most often when least expected, when waiting in the checkout line or sitting in a traffic jam.

  • Christ, Paradise, Trees, and the Cross in the Byzantine Art of Italy
    112 International Journal of Orthodox Theology 9:2 (2018) urn:nbn:de:0276-2018-2061 Mario Baghos Christ, Paradise, Trees, and the Cross in the Byzantine Art of Italy Abstract Many religions metaphorically view trees, due to their vertical orientation, as existentially significant axes mundi, or life-sustaining‘ centers of the world’ that connect the heavenly and earthly realms. Christianity is no dif- ferent in its approach to trees in Eden or paradise, and also to the cross of Jesus Christ. In fact, paradise, trees, and the cross have been artistically represented in the Byzantine art of various Italian churches and other monuments, but nowhere has the concept of axis mundi, the ‘centre of Dr. Mario Baghos is Adjunct Lecturer at the the world,’ as articulated by the re- School of Theology, nowned historian of religions Mircea Charles Sturt University, Eliade, been consistently applied to Australia Christ, Paradise, Trees, 113 and the Cross in the Byzantine Art of Italy an analysis of Byzantine art. This article addresses this lacuna by analyzing monuments and churches in Ravenna, Classe, and Torcello - Italian towns that were under Byzantine control and influence until the eighth century AD - that contain some of the best examples of representations of Christ, paradise, trees, and the cross as axes mundi, but only insofar as they support the depiction of Christ as the true axis mundi. It is, therefore, an interdisciplinary piece, insofar as it integrates Byzantine histo- ry, concepts from the history of religions interpreted from a Christian point of view, and theological analysis of Byzantine art based on scriptural, apocryphal, and patristic sources.
