Acquisition Information Gift of William Noffke. Biography William "Will" Noffke, 1929 - 1997, was a radio-host whose life work documents the cultural and religious changes which began to emerge in the 1960s in California. Originally a New York City Off-Broadway set designer, he settled in the San Francisco Bay Area where over the course of two decades, 1970 to 1990, he hosted and produced radio programs on KQED-FM and KPFA-FM, as well as in his own performance space and bookstore, Shared Visions, in Berkeley, California. As a radio host he interviewed hundreds of spiritual leaders and luminaries who expressed new cultural perspectives and inspired innovation, including Joseph Campbell, Buckminster Fuller, Jacob Needleman, Fritjof Capra, Robert Hillman, Reshad Field, Ram Dass, Jean Houston, Werner Erhard, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Marilyn Ferguson, Mark Satin, Daniel and Patricia Ellsberg. While Noffke's range of conversations and panels, in this regard, included many religious leaders from a diversity of spiritual traditions, including Krishnamurti, it also included politicians, such as John Vasconcellos, health practitioners and physicians, such as Andrew Weil, indigenous leaders, social activists, and local flower children, of diverse traditions, knowledge, and sensibilities. From 1972 to 1974, Noffke hosted "The Meeting of the Ways", a radio program on KQED-FM. It was a program featuring interviews that gave voice to the diverse spiritual constituency that had assembled under a local umbrella organization by the same name. "Meeting of the Ways" also staged a number of celebratory events in the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco during that time period. From 1975 to 1979, Noffke co-hosted, with Michael Tom at KQED-FM, a popular Saturday night radio program called "New Dimensions". From 1979 to 1990, Noffke produced and hosted his own show, "New Horizons", on KPFA-FM. Among his other activities, he was a member of the Board of Directors of the Dancer's Workshop of San Francisco, and belonged to the Melvana Foundation. Noffke, who died of an AIDS-related illness in 1997, described his spiritual path in his own words as "Vedanta/Sufi/Taoist!-unity of existence!" Scope and Content The Noffke collection includes 2,000 audiotapes and cassettes (some duplicates) that span two decades of radio interviews embracing a rich diversity of subject matter and personalities. His papers include administrative materials that reflect his role as producer and radio host, such as scripts of interviews and publicity material. Also included are resource materials from different organizations and individuals he assembled in the course of researching and preparing interviews. Noffke's correspondence reveals his work as an idealistic networker and loving friend. Among his papers are handwritten manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, newsletters, periodicals, a large collection of ephemera, including posters, pamphlets, brochures, flyers, and publicity materials. When the Graduate Theological Union Library first received his donation, some of his collection, primarily ephemera but some correspondence, was removed from the Noffke Papers and filed into the New Religious Movements Organizations: Vertical Files Collection (GTU 99-8-1). See that collection for further Noffke material. Noffke materials in the Vertical Files Collection are identified by his name on any file folder containing items and on the Container List in the finding aid.

  • Conversion to Tibetan Buddhism: Some Reflections Bei Dawei
    4 Conversion to Tibetan Buddhism: Some Reflections Bei Dawei Abstract Tibetan Buddhism, it is often said, discourages conversion. The Dalai Lama is one of many Buddhist leaders who have urged spiritual seekers not to convert to Tibetan Buddhism, but to remain with their own religions. And yet, despite such admonitions, conversions somehow occur—Tibetan dharma centers throughout the Americas, Europe, Oceania, and East/Southeast Asia are filled with people raised as Jews, Christians, or followers of the Chinese folk religion. It is appropriate to ask what these new converts have gained, or lost; and what Tibetan Buddhism and other religions might do to better adapt. One paradox that emerges is that Western liberals, who recoil before the fundamentalists of their original religions, have embraced similarly authoritarian, literalist values in foreign garb. This is not simply an issue of superficial cultural differences, or of misbehavior by a few individuals, but a systematic clash of ideals. As the experiences of Stephen Batchelor, June Campbell, and Tara Carreon illustrate, it does not seem possible for a viable “Reform” version of Tibetan Buddhism (along the lines of Reform Judaism, or Unitarian Universalism) ever to arise—such an egalitarian, democratic, critical ethos would tend to undermine the institution of Lamaism, without which Tibetan Buddhism would lose its raison d’être. The contrast with the Chinese folk religion is less obvious, since Tibetan Buddhism appeals to many of the same superstitious compulsions, and there is little direct disagreement. Perhaps the key difference is that Tibetan Buddhism (in common with certain institutionalized forms of Chinese Buddhism) expands through predation upon weaker forms of religious identity and praxis.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

They grew large gardens, raised chickens for eggs and meat, built their own homes, and fixed their own cars and trucks. On the Yurok Reservation, I again saw a profound and ongoing engagement with hunting, gathering, and crafting activities – and then encountered contemporary subsistence yet again when I visited my wife’s childhood home in rural Ireland. When I began my graduate studies, however, I could find little reflection of these activities in either the scholarly record or popular media. When they were noticed at all, they were often targeted for stereotyped ridicule: contemporary homesteaders in the US were either remnant hippies from the ‘60s, or quaint mountain folks

  • The 'Campbellites' and the New Age Movement Eryj Davies
    The 'Campbellites' and The New Age Movement EryJ Davies The 'Campbellite' churches and the more Eastern-orientated New Age Movement are both developing in such a way as to be troubling some Christian churches in Britain and in the United States. This article is a response to those who have requested reliable information about these two radically different movements. The 'Campbellites' In Britain, concern was expressed soon after the founding in 1982 of the Central London Church of Christ which now calls itself just the London Church of Christ (LCC). There are other Churches of Christ in London but the LCC now claims over 800 members and it is in the process of establishing other branches in Britain. For example, the Central Birmingham Church of Christ was founded in 1988 and is growing apace. The LCC in turn was the product of a missionary initiative taken by the Boston, USA, Church of Christ; the latter being only 10 years old. Four areas of concern have surfaced in Britain recently concerning the LCC. First of all, the LCC has concentrated its work amongst students. The church has set up Bible Study groups in a number of colleges and halls of residence without identifying themselves clearly to the students. Some college chaplains and leaders of Christian Unions in the London area have been unhappy about the Bible Study groups but in some cases LCC members have also joined in the activities of CUs without revealing their motives and affiliation. Due to this intense activity within the student population, a high proportion of LCC members are or have been students.

  • Ashbury Neighborhood the Haight
    Wool 1 Sophie Wool Professor Vilja Hulden HIST 4435 9 April 2019 The Death of the Haight- Ashbury Neighborhood The Haight Ashbury neighborhood in San Francisco was the center of counterculture in the 1960’s. The counterculture of San Francisco in the 1960’s worked to reMove itself from MainstreaM society by creating their own realM on the outside of “normal”. The counterculture aMong the youth in San Francisco, contrary to popular belief, was a highly disorganized MoveMent with little to no political motives. It was an oddly unified chaos fueled by the idea of trying to find oneself and dig deeper into the individual. While many other youth moveMents were focused on the ideas of coming together in society, the counterculture in Haight-Ashbury focused on the individual. The counterculture moveMent that evolved in the Haight during the 1960’s was doomed to end from the start as the ideals of dropping out of society could never fully be achieved. Once the moveMent was picked up by the main streaM media, the people of the neighborhood felt that they were in a zoo as people from all over flocked to San Francisco to witness and sometiMes even try and take part in their culture. The music and events that evolved within the Haight neighborhood becaMe one of the main outlets of expression for the hippies as it works hand in hand with the culture that they created there. The music scene and sound showcase ideals of individuality and the uniqueness of it all shows how the hippies were trying to create their own reality and separate from the mainstreaM.
