This converges strikingly with contemporary developments in the study of spirituality. It is from this convergence that The Way draws inspiration and energy. On Receiving an Inheritance: Confessions of a Former 22 Marginaholic James Alison James Alison’s personal story reveals much about how the marginalised are prone to self-deception, but even more about how God’s love is untouched by such manipulative behaviour. Our inheritance is assured. The Impact of Transition 34 Barbara Hendricks Whenever we try to communicate across cultural boundaries, we are ourselves drawn into a process of self-questioning, growth, and transformation. A distinguished Maryknoll missionary explores this experience. Theological Trends: Jesuit Theologies of Mission 44 Michael Sievernich Michael Sievernich explains how the idea of ‘inculturation’ was developed in Jesuit circles around the time of Vatican II, and discusses its relationship with other key notions in the contemporary theology of mission such as justice and interreligious dialogue.

Allchin on two new studies of Celtic spiritual literature Damian Howard is sceptical about a new book on European religion John Pridmore on Quaker peace spirituality, and on the relationship between self-esteem and self-denial The Way is an international journal of contemporary Christian spirituality, published by the British Jesuits. Through writing informed by critical and creative scholarship, it aims to provide a forum in which thoughtful Christians, from different walks of life and different traditions, reflect on God’s continuing action in human experience. Among particular concerns of The Way are: • the role of spirituality in the struggle for justice • the spiritual issues raised by intercultural and interreligious dialogue • the interactions between spirituality, politics and culture • the fostering and development of the Ignatian spiritual tradition The Way warmly invites readers to submit articles with a view to publication. They should normally be about 4,000 words long, and be in keeping with the journal’s aims. The Editor is always ready to discuss possible ideas. Further details about how to submit an article can be found on The Way’s website, www.theway.org.uk. The Special Number for July 2004, marking the centenaries of a number of distinguished twentieth century Jesuit theologians, will explore the relationship between the Spiritual Exercises and contemporary theology; contributions on this theme would be especially welcome.

Rest assured, however: the most valuable things about it will not change. The Way will remain a wide-ranging, exploratory journal of contemporary spirituality, drawing in a special way on the Ignatian tradition. The first article in this number, ‘The Ignatian Spirituality of the Way’, sets out one account of what that vision might mean. A number of the changes that have been made are administrative. The Way Supplement will no longer exist as a separate publication, but will continue as an annual Special Number of The Way, published in July of each year. As many of you have discovered, we have entered into agreement with an outside agency, Turpin Distribution Services, for the management of our subscriptions. Thanks to this change, and to computer technology, The Way is now happily accommodated in far smaller office space than it needed previously. Before long, we hope to have all our back numbers easily available in electronic form, through our website and on CD-ROM. We hope that the journal in its new form can be more interactive. This is a major reason why we have decided that three of the four issues each year will be varied in their themes—it is our hope that you, our readers, will feel inspired to send in the material which you want to write, rather than be constrained by the themes which we choose. The Way appears too infrequently for us to publish regular Letters to the Editor, but we hope that our website will soon include a Guest Book, where readers and authors can exchange views and opinions about what we publish. We are hoping, too, to extend still further the international character of The Way. First steps in this regard include the appointment of a wider range of Editorial Correspondents (the successors of the Associate Editors), including some from the continent of Europe; and the introduction of a discount rate subscription for readers in post-Communist and developing countries. Thank you for your support as we have been working on this re- launch. We hope that you will find The Way in its new form a source both of pleasure and of profit. Philip Endean SJ A stile near St Beuno’s Spiritual Exercises Centre, North Wales THE IGNATIAN SPIRITUALITY OF THE WAY Philip Endean HE INSTINCT TO DESCRIBE LIFE AS A ‘WAY’ or a ‘journey’ is, of course, Tuniversal. We find such expressions both within and beyond contexts we would readily identify as religious. Equally obviously, ‘the way’ has a special meaning for Christianity. The Fourth Gospel’s Jesus understood himself as ‘the way and the truth and the life’ (John 14:6), a formula enshrined in The Way’s logo; and the Acts of the Apostles refers to Jesus’ disciples as ‘followers of the Way’ (Acts 9:2). Yet there are also distinctive reasons why an Ignatian journal of contemporary spirituality should call itself The Way. When dealing with new converts, Ignatius was concerned ‘to set them better into the way of the Lord’.1 This way might have begun with the Exercises and with various forms of ascetical practice, but eventually it opens out into a way of unpredictable service, a way of ministry beyond conventional boundaries. The Way therefore needs to draw on resources of two kinds. It must explore the documents of the Ignatian tradition, but not simply for the own sake or in isolation. Rather, it must also follow the invitation the Exercises have always given to anyone who takes them seriously: an invitation to explore how the Spirit is at work in our changing culture and our changing selves. Rules for Moving Forward Ignatius was well aware of the need for good order; his secretary, Juan Alfonso de Polanco, deserves an honoured place in any history of bureaucracy. At the outset of the Constitutions that he wrote for his Society, Ignatius tells us that laws and regulations are necessary: the 1 Examen, c. 4. n. 34 [91]: enderezarlos mejor in viam Domini. The Way, 42/1 (January 2003), pp. 7-21. 8 Philip Endean Pope requires them; the witness of the saints and common sense confirm it. But these laws are only secondary: . the supreme wisdom and goodness of God our creator and Lord is what must preserve and govern and carry forward in his holy service this very little Society of Jesus, just as he deigned to begin it, and on our part, more than any exterior constitution, the law from within of charity and love which the Holy Spirit writes and impresses upon hearts . 2 Moreover, the purpose of the laws is not to instil a spirit of conformity, but rather to keep people moving: . we hold it necessary that constitutions be written, that should help us move forward better, in conformity with our Institute, along the way that has been started which is the divine service. ‘Institute’ here has the connotation of ‘beginning’: what Christ our Lord has begun must be carried forward with equal creativity. Ignatius has not laid down a blueprint, but rather initiated a ‘style of moving forward’ (modo de proceder).3 A similar set of ideas can be found at the outset of the Spiritual Exercises. When Ignatius introduces what we call a retreat director, he speaks of ‘the person who gives to another the style and structure (modo y orden) of meditating and contemplating’.

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

  • The North Wales Pilgrim's Way. Spiritual Re
    27 The North Wales Pilgrim’s Way. Spiritual re- vival in a marginal landscape. DANIELS Andrew Abstract The 21st century has seen a marked resurgence in the popularity of pilgrim- age routes across Europe. The ‘Camino’ to Santiago de Compostela in Spain and routes in England to Walsingham in Norfolk and Canterbury in Kent are just three well-known examples where numbers of pilgrims have increased dramati- cally over the last decade. The appeal to those seeking religious as well as non- spiritual self-discovery has perhaps grown as the modern world has become ever more complicated for some. The North Wales Pilgrim’s Way is another ancient route that has once again seen a marked increase in participants during recent years. Various bodies have attempted to appropriate this spiritual landscape in or- der to attract modern pilgrims. Those undertaking the journey continue to leave their own imprints on this marginal place. Year by year they add further layers of meaning to those that have already been laid down over many centuries of pil- grimage. This short paper is the second in a series of research notes looking specifically at overlapping spiritual and tourist connections in what might be termed ‘periph- eral landscapes’ in remote coastal areas of Britain. In particular I will focus on how sites connected with early Celtic Christianity in Britain have been used over time by varying groups with different agendas. In the first paper in this series, I explored how the cult of St. Cuthbert continues to draw visitors to Lindisfarne or Holy Island in the North East of England.

  • Then Arthur Fought the MATTER of BRITAIN 378 – 634 A.D
    Then Arthur Fought THE MATTER OF BRITAIN 378 – 634 A.D. Howard M. Wiseman Then Arthur Fought is a possible history centred on a possi- bly historical figure: Arthur, battle-leader of the dark-age (5th- 6th century) Britons against the invading Anglo-Saxons. Writ- ten in the style of a medieval chronicle, its events span more than 250 years, and most of Western Europe, all the while re- specting known history. Drawing upon hundreds of ancient and medieval texts, Howard Wiseman mixes in his own inventions to forge a unique conception of Arthur and his times. Care- fully annotated, Then Arthur Fought will appeal to anyone in- terested in dark-age history and legends, or in new frameworks for Arthurian fiction. Its 430 pages include Dramatis Personae, genealogies, notes, bibliography, and 20 maps. —— Then Arthur Fought is an extraordinary achievement. ... An absorbing introduction to the history and legends of the period [and] ... a fascinating synthesis. — from the Foreword by Patrick McCormack, author of the Albion trilogy. —— A long and lavishly detailed fictional fantasia on the kind of primary source we will never have for the Age of Arthur. ... soaringly intelligent and, most unlikely of all, hugely entertaining. It is a stunning achievement, enthusiastically recommended. — Editor’s Choice review by Steve Donoghue, Indie Reviews Editor, Historical Novel Society.

However, they have also consistently condemned homophobia during this period (and often seemed unaware of their own complicity in it). This thesis draws on the work of René Girard to analyse popular English evangelical writings and the ways in which they have implicitly encouraged violence against gays even whilst explicitly condemning it. This analysis of evangelical writings on homosexuality is placed in its historical context by drawing on the work of relevant historians and social scientists. It is further contextualised by reference to an analysis of evangelical writings on holiness during the same period. The thesis argues that English evangelical violence towards gays is a byproduct of internal conflicts within English evangelicalism.
