OCTOBER 14, 2018 Collect for Stewardship Gracious God, Giver Of Collect for Stewardship Gracious God, giver of all we have and hold as stewards; grant the people of this church a deep and abiding awareness that all things come from you – our health, our incomes, our jobs, our talents and our generous impulse. Send your Holy Spirit to help us as we swim against the rising tides of materialism, envy, individualism and greed in our culture. When we are tempted to think of money as a private matter, remind us that you have asked for part of what we are given, to be returned to you as a symbol of our awareness that you give all we have. And further, help us to help each other in this grace of giving, for you are the lover of our souls and call us to nothing less than transformation in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Please kneel Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep, we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts, we have offended against thy holy laws, we have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, spare thou those who confess their faults, restore thou those who are penitent, according to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord; and grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy holy Name.

The Lessons __________________________________________________________________________________________________ First Reading Job 23:1-9, 16-17 A reading from book of Job. Job said: "Today also my complaint is bitter; his hand is heavy despite my groaning. Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his dwelling! I would lay my case before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. I would learn what he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me. Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No; but he would give heed to me. There an upright person could reason with him, and I should be acquitted forever by my judge. "If I go forward, he is not there; or backward, I cannot perceive him; on the left he hides, and I cannot behold him; I turn to the right, but I cannot see him. God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me; If only I could vanish in darkness, and thick darkness would cover my face!" Here endeth the lesson. Jubilate Deo Jauchzet dem Herrn Heinrich Schütz Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; 5 serve the Lord with gladness and come before his presence with a song. Know this: The Lord himself is God; he himself has made us and we are his; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise; give thanks to him and call upon his Name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his faithfulness endures from age to age. Psalm 100 Second Reading Mark 10:17-31 A reading from the Gospel according to Mark. As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your father and mother.’” He said to him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions. Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” They were greatly astounded and said to one another, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.” Peter began to say to him, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.” Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age—houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life.

  • The Road Less Travelled by M.Scott Peck
    INTRODUCTION The Road Less Traveled, 25th Anniversary Edition A NEW PSYCHOLOGY OF LOVE, TRADITIONAL VALUES AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH M. SCOTT PECK, M.D. A Touchstone Book Published by Simon & Schuster New York • London • Toronto • Sydney Introduction to the 25th Anniversary Edition Tomorrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time. —Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Self Reliance" The most common response I have received to The Road Less Traveled in letters from readers has been one of gratitude for my courage, not for saying anything new, but for writing about the kind of things they had been thinking and feeling all along, but were afraid to talk about. I am not clear about the matter of courage. A certain kind of congenital obliviousness might be a more proper term. A patient of mine during the book's early days happened to be at a cocktail party where she overheard a conversation between my mother and another elderly woman. Referring to the book, the other woman said, "You certainly must be very proud of your son, Scotty." To which my mother replied, in the sometimes tart way of the elderly, "Proud? No, not particularly. It didn't have anything to do with me. It's his mind, you see. It's a gift." I think my mother was wrong .1 saying that she had nothing to do with it, but I think she was accurate my authorship of The Road was the result of a gift—on many levels. One part of that gift goes way back.

  • THE BALLAD of the SAD CAFÉ Carson Mccullers
    THE BALLAD OF THE SAD CAFÉ Carson McCullers Gothic Digital Series @ UFSC FREE FOR EDUCATION The Ballad of the Sad Café (Harper’s Bazaar, 1943) THE town itself is dreary; not much is there except the cotton mill, the two-room houses where the workers live, a few peach trees, a church with two colored windows, and a miserable main street only a hundred yards long. On Saturdays the tenants from the near-by farms come in for a day of talk and trade. Otherwise the town is lonesome, sad, and like a place that is far off and estranged from all other places in the world. The nearest train stop is Society City, and the Greyhound and White Bus Lines use the Forks Falls Road which is three miles away. The winters here are short and raw, the summers white with glare and fiery hot. If you walk along the main street on an August afternoon there is nothing whatsoever to do. The largest building, in the very center of the town, is boarded up completely and leans so far to the right that it seems bound to collapse at any minute. The house is very old. There is about it a curious, cracked look that is very puzzling until you suddenly realize that at one time, and long ago, the right side of the front porch had been painted, and part of the wall — but the painting was left unfinished and one portion of the house is darker and dingier than the other. The building looks completely deserted.

  • The Poetics of the Erotic Gift in Early Modern Spain
    Against Gracias: The Poetics of the Erotic Gift in Early Modern Spain Sarah Bogard Hollywood, California Master of Arts, Middlebury College, 2006 Bachelor of Arts, University of California, Santa Cruz, 1999 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Spanish University of Virginia May, 2013 Alison Weber Ricardo Padron E. Michael Gerli Deborah McGrady Abstract The present study highlights literary representations of gift objects and gift exchanges, engaging the early modern discourses of love, sex, marriage, and courtship with recent scholarship on gift theory, social capital, and the novella genre in order to explore the points of tension between anxious reciprocities and unequal power relationships within the Spanish Baroque imaginary. Góngora’s Fábula de Polifemo y Galatea foregrounds how discourses of courtesy and courtliness become juxtaposed textually with notions of obligation, debt, and gratitude. In this erotic exchange, the gift of male sexual restraint is equivalent to the gift of female sexual consent. In Lope de Vega’s La Dorotea, the quid pro quo is interrupted by a rival suitor whose flashy New World wealth eclipses the impoverished poet’s gift of romantic verse. Society’s usual collective willingness to “misrecognize” gifts as spontaneous gestures with no strings attached, loses its tenability here. The female protagonist’s agency in the gifting game proves limited as her entire community—in this case, parents, servants, friends, neighbors—all work to sell her off to the highest bidder. Each love gift is exposed as somehow self-interested, which ultimately arouses suspicion and cynicism around all amorous exchange in the text.

  • Woody Allen's New Trilogy?
    Spring 2005 111 Woody Allen’s New Trilogy? Maurice Yacowar Ever the one to serve up old whines in new battles, Woody Allen replays familiar themes and strategies in his three new one-act plays. Indeed, the familiarity of his material by now approximates to ritual. But a close examination finds fresh nuance and development. Moreover, as their coincidental language and themes make the plays a triptych, even a familiar element gains new meaning from the enlarged context. Like most of his films since Annie Hall (1977) and Manhattan (1979), the trilogy deals with amoral rationalization, betrayal, and infidelity among the urbane intelligentsia. As he anatomizes his neighborhood’s Civilization and Its Discontents, each title cites a location that connotes class, affluence, and sophistication— “Riverside Drive,” “Old Saybrook,” “Central Park West”—yet the relationships prove savage. The first and third refer to Allen’s own Upper West Side. The first play’s hero, Jim Swain, lives at Central Park West and 78th.1 The middle setting offers escape, to the Connecticut slick of Annie Hall’s alien gentile/genteel family—but which also includes the psychopathic brother Duane (Christopher Walken). As the setting returns home, the lead characters return to their original relationships, their escapes thwarted. They clutch their illusions with the bittersweet resignation that closes The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985), where Cecilia (Mia Farrow) sinks back hopeless into her fantasies. The first two plays were originally produced by Atlantic Theatre Company in New York under the title Writer’s Block (2003), with Allen’s debut as stage director.

  • The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, Part One: 1890 to 1919
    Journalist in Silent Film 35 The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, 1890 to 1929: Part One 1890 to 1919 Joe Saltzman Professor of Journalism Director of the Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) A Project of the Norman Lear Center Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] with Liz Mitchell Senior Research Associate Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] Introduction This is the first installment in the landmark study of “The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, 1890 to 1929.” It covers 1,948 films from 1890 to 1919. Part Two will cover the years from 1920 to the beginning of recorded sound in 1929. This is the first comprehensive study of the beginning of cinema’s earliest depictions of the journalist, mostly newspaper reporters, editors, and publishers. Newspaper fiction flourished at a time when journalism “was a revolutionary force, tearing up traditions, redefining public morality, and lending voice and encouragement to the disenfranchised. It reflected currents sweeping through every phase of American life. The skyrocketing circulations, the manic search for exclusive news, the sensational headlines, and the concentration of newspaper ownership were signs of an America changing from a rural society to an urban and industrial one. Since journalism so clearly mirrored and so loudly supported the new order, it became the preeminent symbol for the mechanization, standardization, democratization, and vulgarization of culture.”1 Historian Howard Good points out that the 1890s “represented a watershed not only in American journalism but also in American history.
