    1 Sometimes You Have to Break the Rules Sunday, August 22, 2021, 11:15 a.m., All Saints Church, Pasadena The Rev. Mike Kinman The scholar asked Jesus, “Which commandment is the first of all?” + If you could be at any concert or performance in your lifetime, what would you choose? The Beatles at Shea Stadium? Pink Floyd doing The Wall at the Berlin Wall? Coachella with Beyonce in 2018 The Monterrey Pop Festival with Janis Joplin Woodstock Would it be the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival that’s featured in Summer of Soul - Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, The 5th Dimension .. Clara Williams. That would be pretty awesome. But no, for me, I know my answer. For me, it would be July 13, 1985 – Wembley Stadium. Live Aid. 1.9 billion people – 40 percent of the world’s population watching. $127 million raised for famine relief in Ethiopia. And the lineup … a little light on women but still incredible … David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Sting, Elton John, The Who, Paul McCartney, Freddie Mercury and Queen leading all 72,000 people in singing Radio Gaga. 72,000 people clapping their hands over their head in unison. What it would have been like to be there. But for me … I would want to have been there for one moment. Live Aid was a lot of things, but one of them was it was the global coming out party for an Irish band called U2. Maybe you’ve heard of them. And I’d want to be there to witness one moment.

A vigorous Church campaign closed down about forty lingering LDS settlements in Iowa in 1852. Branches transformed into wagon trains, whose pullouts terminated what had been a strong Mormon presence in the Midwest for five years, and brought to completion the Nauvoo exodus process.

Unauthorised Reproduction Prohibited. 1. The Sadleir-Black Collection It was not long before the lust for Gothic Romance took complete possession of me. Some instinct – for which I can only be thankful – told me not to stray into 'Sensibility', 'Pastoral', or 'Epistolary' novels of the period 1770-1820, but to stick to Gothic Novels and Tales of Terror. Michael Sadleir, XIX Century Fiction It seems appropriate that the Sadleir-Black collection of Gothic fictions, a genre peppered with illicit passions, should be described by its progenitor as the fruit of lust. Michael Sadleir (1888-1957), the person who cultivated this passion, was a noted bibliographer, book collector, publisher and creative writer. Educated at Rugby and Balliol College, Oxford, Sadleir joined the office of the publishers Constable and Company in 1912, becoming Director in 1920. He published seven reasonably successful novels; important biographical studies of Trollope, Edward and Rosina Bulwer, and Lady Blessington; and a number of ground-breaking bibliographical works, most significantly Excursions in Victorian Bibliography (1922) and XIX Century Fiction (1951).
