    June/July 2018 From The Dean . “Today is the beginning. Today is the first day of what’s next – the first day of a new era for our city. A city open to all. A city that embraces everyone, and gives every one of her children a chance.... You don’t quit on your families, and we - we are not going to quit on you. We are going to embrace all families, regardless of what that family looks like. We talk about how much we love our city. We talk about it. But I am calling upon each one of you, on every New Orleanian … to speak out — and show the same love for the people of our city.” -Mayor LaToya Cantrell May 7, 2018 The Church exists to be a beacon of God’s love for humanity, and a safe place for all people to come and seek this love. The Feast of Pentecost, which comes 50 days after Easter, commemorates the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the followers of the Way of Jesus. At this moment they were, and by extension we are, sent into the World to make disciples and claim the gifts that the Holy Spirit has bestowed upon each of us. We are called to work with all people to build the beloved community in the places where we live and move and have our being. For many of the members of Christ Church Cathedral that place is the City of New Orleans. One of my first official responsibilities upon becoming Dean was to represent Bishop Charles Jenkins at the inauguration of Mayor Ray Nagin in the Superdome in May of 2002.

  • Banquettes and Baguettes
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Banquettes and Baguettes “In the city’s early days, city blocks were called islands, and they were islands with little banks around them. Logically, the French called the footpaths on the banks, banquettes; and sidewalks are still so called in New Orleans,” wrote John Chase in his immensely entertaining history, “Frenchmen, Desire Good Children…and Other Streets of New Orleans!” This was mostly true in 1949, when Chase’s book was first published, but the word is used less and less today. In A Creole Lexicon: Architecture, Landscape, People by Jay Dearborn Edwards and Nicolas Kariouk Pecquet du Bellay de Verton, one learns that, in New Orleans (instead of the French word trottoir for sidewalk), banquette is used. New Orleans’ historic “banquette cottage (or Creole cottage) is a small single-story house constructed flush with the sidewalk.” According to the authors, “In New Orleans the word banquette (Dim of banc, bench) ‘was applied to the benches that the Creoles of New Orleans placed along the sidewalks, and used in the evenings.’” This is a bit different from Chase’s explanation. Although most New Orleans natives today say sidewalks instead of banquettes, a 2010 article in the Time-Picayune posited that an insider’s knowledge of New Orleans’ time-honored jargon was an important “cultural connection to the city”. The article related how newly sworn-in New Orleans police superintendent, Ronal Serpas, “took pains to re-establish his Big Easy cred.” In his address, Serpas “showed that he's still got a handle on local vernacular, recalling how his grandparents often instructed him to ‘go play on the neutral ground or walk along the banquette.’” A French loan word, it comes to us from the Provençal banqueta, the diminutive of banca, meaning bench or counter, of Germanic origin.

Walker: God, Gays, and Voodoo: Voicing Blame after Katrina CTAMJ 2014/2015 29 GENERAL INTEREST ARTICLES God, Gays, and Voodoo: Voicing Blame after Katrina Jefferson Walker Visiting Instructor, Department of Communication Studies University of Southern Mississippi [email protected] Abstract Much of the public discourse following Hurricane Katrina’s devastating impact on Louisiana and much of the Gulf Coast in 2005 focused on placing blame. This paper focuses on those critics who stated that Hurricane Katrina was “God’s punishment” for people’s sins. Through a narrative analysis of texts surrounding Hurricane Katrina, I explicate the ways in which individuals argued about God’s judgment and punishment. I specifically turn my attention to three texts: First, a Repent America press release entitled “Hurricane Katrina Destroys New Orleans Days Before ‘Southern Decadence,’” second, a newsletter released by Rick Scarborough of Vision America, and third, Democratic Mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin’s “Chocolate City” Speech.
