    CULTURAL EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL Established 1964 Publication of the Assyrian Foundation of America Volume 43, Number 3, 2019 Assyrian foundation of America In February, I had the enormous pleasure and privilege of attending a unique exhibit at the British Museum entitled, “I am Ashurbanipal, King of the World, King of Assyria”. It was an ex- traordinary experience to see archaeological artifacts attributed to the palace of arguably one of the most important kings in an- cient history, Ashurbanipal. Besides being a remarkable scholar and military strategist, he established the first and most impres- sive library of the ancient world. Within his incredible collec- tion of clay tablets lay one of the greatest epic tales ever told, the Gilgamesh. It is all the more appropriate that on the final day of the exhibit was a contemporary Assyrian folk music concert or- ganized by renowned Assyrian musician Honiball Joseph, founder of the Gilgamesh Art & Culture Foundation. The Assyrian Foundation of America (AFA) is a proud continuing sponsor of Honiball and his organization. Honiball Joseph is an accomplished musician, composer, conductor, pianist, and music educator with over thirty years of extensive international experience. In addition to numer- ous recitals, he has organized, conducted, arranged and composed several orchestral and vocal concerts throughout California as well as at the most prestigious concert halls in his native Iran. With the patronage of the AFA, Honiball has organized a unique repeat performance of the British museum concert here in San Francisco at the Marines’ Memorial Theater on Saturday, September 14, 2019. This is a great family event and I urge everyone, particularly those who were unable to join the festivities in London, to attend this concert that promises to be a spectacular and memo- rable experience.

La revue traite des problèmes fondamentaux liés à la mission de l’Église, dans l’espoir d’apporter une aide à ceux œuvrant pour l’avancement de l’Évangile à les affronter et à appliquer les enseignements de la Bible aux différents sujets pertinents de la mission. Il faut comprendre qu’il existe dans le monde un nombre insuffisant de leaders formés et éduqués sur le plan théologique pour conduire et préparer les leaders du futur.

    Pittsburg College Bulletin Vol. XII. Pittsburg, Pa., June, 1906. No. 9. Wouldst thou measure the depths of the boundless Deep, And count each sparkling drop ? Wouldst thou number the leaves on the waving trees, From the plains to the mountain top ? If thou canst do this, then tell to me The farthest years of eternity. Couldst thou take each sand, from the shining strand, Which keepeth the Ocean bound, And with labor lay a continuous way To the farthest star around ; And couldst thou live each weary day, Till a snail had crawled the long, long way : Eternity to thy years would stand, As the world, compared to a grain of sand. Chas. F. Swain, '06. — — 262 PITTSBUEG COLLEGE BULLETIN Christian Inscriptions. Before taking up the subject of dogmatic inscriptions, one important feature should be noticed, namely, the method of determining their age, or of assigning them to a particular epoch in history. It is needless to state that a dogmatic inscription of the fourth century is of far less apologetic value than one of the same nature of the first century. Hence, with a very large number of them, to settle their precise or even approximate date is frequently a perplexing problem, to the solution of which archaeolo- gists have directed all their energies. As is well known, the inventor of the modern system of computing the years of the Christian era was a monk named Dionysius Exiguus, (a) abbot of a monastery in Rome, who died in 556. Prior to the sixth century, the Christians used the pagan method of indicating the date, when they put any date at all.

    Asian Spirituality of Christian Stewardship (Keynote Address of the Rev

    Asian Spirituality of Christian Stewardship (Keynote Address of the Rev. Dr. Winfred B. Vergara, Missioner for Asiamerica Ministry of the Episcopal Church Center at the diocesan EAM Consultation of the Diocese of California, held in Christ Episcopal Church, Alameda, California on June 10-11, 2011) Introduction This gathering today, here in this Diocese of California has a triple significance for me: first, it is here, in this diocese where the first national Episcopal Asiamerica Ministry Consultation was held in 1974; second, it is here, in this Diocese, where I was installed as the second missioner for Asiamerica Ministry in 2004; and third, it is here now, in this Diocese that this first diocesan-wide EAM Consultation is ever held. The end of all exploring,” wrote the English poet, T. S. Eliot, “will be to arrive where you started and know the place for the first time.” Or as one Chinese proverb says, “If you just stay in the same place for as long as you can, you will finally see the world coming back to you.” So I feel like, today, it is “dejavu” – all coming back again, as if, for the first time. You‟ve assigned me to speak on “Asian Spirituality of Christian Stewardship.” Let me arranged this theme on three chapters: first, what is spirituality; second, what is Asian; and third, what is Christian stewardship. Then, I will sum up on how we can arrive at a contextual teaching on Christian Stewardship. First, what is Spirituality? A story is told of a parrot which was fond of speaking bad words.

Burridge fonds. – 1950-1987. 44.5 cm of textual records and published materials. 46 audio compact discs. Biographical Sketch Kenelm Burridge was born in Malta in 1922. After spending his childhood in Lucknow, India, he was educated in England, and in 1939 he joined the Royal Navy. Burridge served on the battleships HMS Ramillies and Royal Sovereign in the Mediterranean, and the Atlantic and Indian Oceans until 1942, when he transferred to the sumbarine service. He was serving aboard HMS Splendid when she was sunk off Naples in 1943 and he was captured. He escaped later that year, and eventually returned to service in the Far East, retiring as a lieutenant in 1946. Burridge entered Exeter College, Oxford, that year, and completed his B.A. in 1948, a diploma in Social Anthropology, the following year, and later his B.Litt. (1950) and M.A. (1952) in Anthropology. He then obtained a Ph.D. in that field from Australian National University in 1954. Burridge has conducted fieldwork in Papua New Guinea, Malaya (where he was a research fellow at the University of Malaya), Australia, New Hebrides, and India. He held teaching posts in anthropology and ethnology at Baghdad University and Oxford before joining UBC as professor of anthropology in 1968.
