Matthew 5:13 December 2020 VOL. 19, ISSUE 12 BREAKFAST WITH SANTA SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5 9AM GREAT HALL COMMUNION SUNDAY DECEMBER 6 10AM GREAT HALL 11AM DRIVE UP OPTION Beloved in Christ, this Christmas Season it is our duty and delight to prepare ourselves to hear again the message of the angels, and to go in heart and mind to Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, FAMILY CAROLING & REFRESHMENTS and the Babe lying in a manger. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16 6:00PM GREAT HALL Therefore let us hear again from Holy Scripture the tale of the loving purposes of God from the first days of our sin until the glorious redemption brought us by this holy Child; and let us make this house of prayer glad with our carols of praise. But first, because this of all things would rejoice Jesus' heart, let us pray to him for the needs of the whole world, and all his people; for peace upon the earth he came to save; MUSIC MINISTRY for love and unity within the one Church he did build; CHRISTMAS CONCERT for goodwill among all peoples. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19 6PM GREAT HALL And particularly at this time let us remember the poor, the cold, the hungry, the oppressed; the sick and them that mourn; the lonely and the unloved; the aged and the little children; and all who know not the Lord Jesus, or who love him not, or who by sin have grieved his heart of love. CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24 Lastly let us remember all those who rejoice with us, 6PM LIGHTHOUSE PARK but upon another shore and in a greater light, that multitude which no one can number, whose hope was in the Word made flesh, and with whom, in this Lord Jesus, we for evermore are one. -
Jim Looney of All People
! IRISH TIMES BESTSELLER! ! An unforgettable beautiful story of love that will take your breath away. Emotional, heartbreaking and inspirational. Unputdownable. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. Kahlil Gibran ! ! ! Prologue ! Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love. Hamilton Wright Mabie ! Christmas Eve, 2005 ! "Happiness is …" I exhale a long, deep, satisfied sigh, and the cold breath of winter floats out of my mouth up into the air. ! “This is the best Christmas street lighting yet.” ! I know I say the same thing every year, in this very same spot, at this very same time. I’ll probably say it again next year too. ! In this moment, I’ve never seen anything more perfect. The Victorian inspired decorations are from a bygone era that shine with goodwill to all men. I know, I know, that sounds all cheese on toast, but when it comes to Christmas, that’s allowed. With extra parmesan on top, as far as I’m concerned. ! My city, my beloved Dublin, is sparkling in a festive glow. And its inhabitants are collectively holding their breaths, because Christmas is almost here. ! And this year, I’ve been delivered an early Christmas present. The fact that it’s the same one I received when I was eight years old isn’t lost on me. Co-incidence, fate, magic, I don’t know what forces are at play to make this happen, but I’m grateful. -
Vigilantes, Incorporated: an Ideological Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster
VIGILANTES, INCORPORATED: AN IDEOLOGICAL ECONOMY OF THE SUPERHERO BLOCKBUSTER BY EZRA CLAVERIE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English with a minor in Cinema Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor José B. Capino, Chair Associate Professor Jim Hansen Associate Professor Lilya Kaganovsky Associate Professor Robert A. Rushing Professor Frank Grady,Department of English, University of Missouri, Saint Louis ii ABSTRACT Since 2000, the comic-book superhero blockbuster has become Hollywood’s most salient genre. “Heroes, Incorporated: A Political Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster” examines these seemingly reactionary fantasies of American power, analyzing their role in transmedia storytelling for a conglomerated and world-spanning entertainment industry. This dissertation argues that for all their apparent investment in the status quo and the hegemony of white men, superhero blockbusters actually reveal the disruptive and inhuman logic of capital, which drives both technological and cultural change. Although focused on the superhero film from 2000 to 2015, this project also considers the print and electronic media across which conglomerates extend their franchises. It thereby contributes to the materialist study of popular culture and transmedia adaptation, showing how 21st century Hollywood adapts old media for new platforms, technologies, and audiences. The first chapter traces the ideology of these films to their commercial roots, arguing that screen superheroes function as allegories of intellectual property. The hero’s “brand” identity signifies stability, even as the character’s corporate owners continually revise him (rarely her). -

To some extent, it was true. James did find inspiration for much of his life’s work in his emotional torment and the many years he spent fighting drug addiction and depression. And he did hail from an affluent, musically talented family that could afford to send its progeny to exclusive prep schools and expensive private mental hospitals. But now James Taylor in his fifties has the benefit of hindsight to moderate any lingering grudges against a press that persistently pigeonholed him – first as a sort of Kurt Cobain of his day, and much later as a sleepy crooner with his most creative years behind him. -
Seeing Different: Portrayals of Disability in Young Adult Graphic Novels
Seeing Different: Portrayals of Disability in Young Adult Graphic Novels Marilyn Irwin, Associate Professor, Indiana University School of Library and Information Science, Indianapolis. Robin Moeller, Visiting Assistant Professor, Indiana University School of Library and Information Science, Indianapolis. As more students with disabilities are included in standard American education classrooms, the need to provide all students with literature that depicts people with disabilities has never been greater. With graphic novels growing in popularity with youth and becoming more apparent in school curriculum, the authors chose to analyze this format to answer the following research questions: Do graphic novels include individuals with disabilities? If disabilities are present, what disabilities were most often featured? What is the gender and ethnicity of the individuals with disabilities? Is there a positive portrayal of the person with a disability? After examining thirty graphic novels recommended for teens, the authors found that less than half of the sample depicted an individual with a disability. Of these, the majority of the portrayals were of negative stereotypical images of disability. The authors concluded that the authors, illustrators, and publishers of graphic novels recommended for teens have not provided a realistic representation of people with disabilities. Introduction The 27th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 2005 (U.S. Department of Education 2007, 28) reported that approximately six million U.S. students aged six to twenty-one were served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in 2003—9.1 percent of all U.S. students in that age range. These numbers have increased in both real numbers and proportion of the total U.S. -
The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax
1911 SHERLOCK HOLMES THE DISAPPEARANCE OF LADY FRANCES CARFAX Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan (1859-1930) - Scottish-born English writer known for his detective stories based around the character of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle was a physician before gaining fame as a writer and, in his later years, he devoted most of his time to the study of spiritualism and the occult. Disappear- ance of Lady Frances Carfax, The (1911) - Holmes sends Watson to Europe to find the missing Lady Frances Carfax. DISAPPEARANCE OF LADY FRANCES CARFAX “But why Turkish?” asked Mr. Sherlock Holmes, gazing fixedly at my boots. I was reclining in a cane-backed chair at the moment, and my protruded feet had attracted his ever-active attention. “English,” I answered in some surprise. “I got them at Latimer’s, in Oxford Street.” Holmes smiled with an expression of weary patience. “The bath!” he said; “the bath! Why the relaxing and expensive Turkish rather than the invigorating home-made article?” “Because for the last few days I have been feeling rheumatic and old. A Turk- ish bath is what we call an alterative in medicine- a fresh starting-point, a cleanser of the system. “By the way, Holmes,” I added, “I have no doubt the connection between my boots and a Turkish bath is a perfectly self-evident one to a logical mind, and yet I should be obliged to you if you would indicate it.” “The train of reasoning is not very obscure, Watson,” said Holmes with a mis- chievous twinkle. “It belongs to the same elementary class of deduction which I should illustrate if I were to ask you who shared your cab in your drive this morn- ing.” “I don’t admit that a fresh illustration is an explanation,” said I with some as- perity. -

The French Powder Mystery
The French Powder Mystery Ellery Queen Foreword EDITOR’S NOTE: A foreword appeared in Mr. Queen’s last detective novel written by a gentleman designating himself as J. J. McC. The publishers did not then, nor do they now, know the identity of this friend of the two Queens. In deference to the author’s wish, however, Mr. McC. has been kind enough to pen once more a prefatory note to his friend’s new novels and this note appears below. I have followed the fortunes of the Queens, father and son, with more than casual interest for many years. Longer perhaps than any other of their legion friends. Which places me, or so Ellery avers, in the unfortu- nate position of Chorus, that quaint herald of the olden drama who craves the auditor’s sympathetic ear and receives at best his willful impatience. It is with pleasure nevertheless that I once more enact my role of prologue-master in a modern tale of murder and detection. This pleasure derives from two causes: the warm reception accorded Mr. Queen’s first novel, for the publication of which I was more or less responsible, under his nom de plume; and the long and sometimes arduous friendship I have enjoyed with the Queens. I say “arduous” because the task of a mere mortal. In attempting to keep step with the busy life of a New York detective Inspector and the intellectual activity of a bookworm and logician can adequately be described only by that word. Richard Queen, whom I knew intimately long before he retired, a veteran of thirty-two years service in the New York police department, was a dynamic little gray man, a bundle of energy and industry. -
