Even Moonies have rights Religion, no less than other areas of human life, has changed in the modern period. The changes have taken two primary forms: Converts aren't passive dupes. "Deprogramming" secularization, the decline of traditional has no place in a democratic society. religions, and sectarianism, the rise of new ones. Each process has captured the public eye at times. Time magazine asked on its April 8, 1966 cover "Is God Dead?" and By Eugene Gallagher Harvey Cox's The Secular City became a best seller. More recently, chanters in saf- fron robes occupied airport lobbies and street corners, while parents and children made the rounds of talk shows detailing the horrors of their involvement with strange sects. During the past election campaign the size and tenacity of fundamentalist Christian groups received national atten- tion as all three major candidates declared themselves to have been "born again" and as the Rev. Jerry Falwell's "Moral Major- ity, Inc." manoeuvered for political power and moral influence. If secularization wasa key issue of the 60s, sectarianism domi- nates the religious scene in the 70s and 80s. Although the new religions in this coun- try form a motley group, they share to a remarkable degree the notion that both self and society can be transformed. Whether inner peace is sought through chanting or meditation, or a new society is sought through voluntary association, or a moral renovation is sought through political or social action, change is the goal of the new religious groups. Their passion for change carries an implicit indictment of the status quo. The variety of groups shows that there

Working together, Jonathan's par- ents, two ex-Moo nies, and one concerned rabbi helped Jonathan find the mind he had lost some months earlier. Jonathan told his story to the members of my congregation one Friday evening following our Sabbath worship. Visibly shaken, parents left the synagogue with the gnawing sense that what had happened to Jonathan could well happen to their own sons and daughters. Among the numerous questions arising out of Jonathan's experience with the Moonies, two ha ve continued to haunt me: Did Jonathan join the Moonies of his own free will? Did he remain with them of his own free will? My colleague Eugene Gallagher, if I understand him correctly, could argue that Jonathan was legally an adult when he decided to spend a weekend on the farm; he was old enough to vote, old enough to serve in the armed forces, old enough to marry without his parents' consent. In short, Jonathan was old enough to make his own decisions and to live with the consequences of these decisions, whether they turned out to be wise or foolish. Nobody forced Jona- than to go to the farm, and nobody forced him to remain with the Moonies. On the other hand-and I presume Eugene Gallagher would agree-his par-

It cannot be denied that Jonathan's par- ents lied to him; they devised a ruse that was deliberately calculated to bring their adult son home. Those who believe that Jonathan joined the Moonies and chose to remain with them of his own free will are On taking risks: forced to conclude that his parents acted immorally.

expect that each and everyone of you will be changed this morning, but to suggest that reading the Bible is also a little like that: so much depends on the expectation we bring. How often do we come to a text, whether a Biblical narrative, or a poem, a dialogue of Plato, a play by Sophocles of Shakespeare, with anything like an expec- tation that it may change our life? How often do we listen to the Bible with the expectation that this particular story con- tains something we need to know about ourselves? But everything depends upon the expectation we bring. That is what Hamlet meant when he said "The readiness is all." And that is what Jesus meant when he said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." And so, dear friends, I invite you to attend with me-c-really attend-i-us the par- able once again. It is a story that Jesus once told with the full expectation that his hear- ers might be radically changed in the encounter, that they might never again be quite the same. In the first place Jesus told this story to illustrate what he called the Kingdom of God, by which I take it he meant something like this: This is the way human life would be like if we really lived out what God the creator intended for us. This is what human life would be like of we could grow up enough to fulfill our deepest insights about human potential. And this is what human life would be like if we had the grace and wit to create communities oriented not around the exercise of power, but around the nurturing of individual lives to release that potential. And so he told this story about a master who goes on a journey, leaving his re- sources in the care of three of his most trusted servants. To one he ga ve ten talents, to another, two, and to the third, one. Let us be very clear about one thing here: a talent is a very large sum of money- approximately $1000. And don't forget those are pre-inflation dollars. Jesus is not speaking of talents in the colloquial sense -the kind best displayed in the coffee house. He's really talking about money. The master gives no instruction about the

Both houses of the Con- vention, the House of Bishops and the House of Deputies (composed of clergy men and lay men and women), affirmed by majority vote the right of fit and qualified women to become members of the or- dained priesthood and the episcopacy. This was a moment of joy for many people throughout the Church, a moment when something true was recognized and real- ized. Yet for others it was a time of anxiety and fear that something sacred had been lost. It was a time of great stress for the Church when that part of the Church which is human was deeply divided over the course to be followed in responding to the divine. The controversy has continued. During the 1976 convention a "conscience clause," which would have allowed dissident bish- ops to refrain from adhering 10 the new ruling, was rejected, assuring that the right of women to seek ordination would be rec- ognized in all dioceses of the Church. The following year the Church's Presiding Bishop, John Allin, articulated his per- sonal opposition to the ordination of women, and shortly thereafter the bishops, meeting again in non-legislative session, voted to endorse the same "conscience clause" that had been rejected by the con- vention acting as a whole. In response to this and other issues, some individual par- ishes broke away and bonded together to form the Anglican Church of North Amer- ica and, later, the Anglican Church of New England. Meanwhile, the ordination of women to the priesthood has moved forward and has reached, I believe, new levels of under- standing, acceptance and effectiveness. Figures compiled in December 1980, indi- cate that in the American Church there are approximately 241 ordained women priests and 189 women deacons. They are serving in parish churches and diocesan cathedrals, in schools, colleges and seminaries, in hos- pitals, prisons, and in a variety of special· ized ministries. Perhaps now, more than ever before, even with only slightly more than four years of experience, we are better

"Never before has a government made the extermination of another people an end in itself," Rabbi Rosenberg said. This was Hitler's goal, his final solution. "The fact that he was so close to achieving this," Buffi Weisenberg said, "is horrifying." Another student, David Geller '81, remarked, "We shouldn't dwell on the emotional aspects, but try to understand why it happened." Rabbi Rosenberg, however, said that although he strives to avoid sensational- ism, it is important not to deny the emo- tions aroused by the material. "Not to be emotionally involved," Rabbi Rosenbergsaid, "is not to understand." He tries to give students the opportunity to work through their emotional reactions. How can another Holocaust be pre- vented? It is necessary to really know what happened in Germany, the rabbi said, and absolutely essential to preserve our demo- cratic freedoms. "There are no answers," he admitted, but "we have to understand and struggle with the questions." - Heidi Haas '81

During Collaborations, dance students perform on "Soundstalr," a playful device that produces music when electric eyes on the steps are tripped by the slightest motion. Otto Plene's "Blue Star Llnz" filled the arts center's atrium with Its billowing tentacles, and Professor Martha Myers danced with Meredith Monk's company. In March, Fox Butterfield gave the campus an Insider's view of the Chinese people. Mr. Butterfield (center, with Barbara McCann Butterfield '70 and Charles Chu) was the New York Times bureau chief In China. Rock-and-roll star Bonnie Raitt sang a benefit con- cert for the Musicians United for Safe Energy, an anti-nuclear group.

24 A not-so-silent Spring In the Spring, it sometimes seems there is a conference, guest speaker or symposium for each of Connecticut's 1,600 students. We'd like to give you a brief sampling of this semester's offerings. Composer John Cage, choreographer Meredith Monk and director Richard Schechner were among those who came to campus for the Collaborations arts festival. Claude Brown, author of Manchild in the Promised LAnd, was keynote speaker for Eclipse, the minority cultural weekend. The Urban Affairs department and the New London Landmarks group sponsored a lecture by Arthur P. Ziegler, Jr., one of the nation's foremost experts on historic preservation in the inner city. A conference for students on "Careers in Public Service Organizations" attracted representatives from two dozen agencies. The League of Women Voters was amply represented by Ruth Wolverton '44 and by trustee emeritus Percy Maxim Lee, a past president of the League. As part of the Economics depart- ment lecture series, the "Dowbeaters'' team of Frank Capiello, Peter DeAngelis and Ira Cobleigh explained how to select perfor- mance stocks for the 1980s. Items of international interest included a visit by Thomas Lawton, director of the Freer Gallery, who spoke on paintings recently discovered in China; a women's studies lecture by Russian novelist Ruf Zernova; and a visit by New-York based correspondents from European news or- ganizations. The Religious Studies depart- ment organized a forum on religion and revolution in Central America, Argentine novelist Luisa Valenzuela was the guest of the Hispanic studies department, and Gordon Dennis, head of English studies at England's Westminster College, lectured on the poetry of Robert Frost and Edward Thomas.
