    1 The Lion-Lamb of Lviv (a fantasy in verse). An Exposition REECAS Conference Reed College, Portland, OR April 1, 2017 Eugene E. Lemcio, Ph.D.1 I. INTRODUCTION & DEFINITION Let me begin by introducing myself as a third generation American of Ukrainian descent. I am Emeritus Professor of New Testament at Seattle Pacific University. Twenty years ago, I founded and subsequently co-chaired the Ukrainian Studies Endowment Fund at the University of Washington. For thirteen years, I presided over the Ukrainian American Club [now, “Ukrainian Association”] of Washington State. During five trips to Ukraine in ten years, I lectured at State Universities and at seminaries of all major denominations in both Lviv and Kyiv.1 At the end of last year, I presented a paper during a four-day conference at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv.2 A posting of my published works, including poetry, can be found on Academia.edu. The work under consideration appeared in the November-December issue of Theology, 2016. My poem adopts and adapts symbols from the late first century CE Apocalypse of St. John. Before proceeding further, defining terms is crucial. In general, when people hear the word “apocalypse,” they invariable think about catastrophe on a large, or global, or even cosmic scale. When reactor IV at Chornobyl [Ukrainian spelling] exploded in 1 Pages 5 and 6 of my CV (cited there) list my activities in the local Diaspora and in Ukraine itself. 2 “The Significance of the Deutercanon for Deepening the Relationship for Christianity and Judaism” (October 27, 2016). 2 1986.

  • The Jewel in the Emerald Necklace of the City of Lviv

JURY – KLEJNOT W SZMARAGDOWYM NASZYJNIKU LWOWA Abstract The most valuable parks in Lviv were designed by the famous city gardener Arnold Röhring, who managed to combine in the art of landscape design the different styles of the turn of 20th century. If the large parks of the city are under state protection, the smaller ones designed as public gardens, boulevards, gardens near the villas are constantly being rebuilt and destroyed. The results of the study of the park in St. Yuri Square in Lviv give grounds for considering this park an authentic monument of landscape art of the end of the 19th century, where its compositional structure and state of rare old-growth species of trees and shrubs are well preserved. Keywords: Lviv parks, landscape design, public gardens, Arnold Röhring Streszczenie Najcenniejsze parki we Lwowie zostały zaprojektowane przez słynnego ogrodnika miejskiego Arnol- da Röhringa, któremu udało się połączyć w sztuce projektowania krajobrazu różne style przełomu XIX i XX wieku. Jeśli duże parki miasta są pod ochroną państwa, mniejsze, zaprojektowane jako ogrody pu- bliczne, skwery, bulwary, ogrody w pobliżu willi, stale są przebudowane i niszczone. Badania skweru na placu św. Jury we Lwowie dają podstawy do uznania go autentycznym zabytkiem sztuki krajobrazowej z końca XIX wieku, w którym struktura kompozycyjna i stan starodrzewu rzadkich gatunków są dobrze zachowane.

    TRANSITIONS FORUM CURBING CORRUPTION: IDEAS THAT WORK | SEPTEMBER 2015 The Spirit of Lviv How Ukraine’s most European city forged a popular movement against corruption and bad governance. by Ilya Lozovsky www.li.com www.prosperity.com www.foreignpolicy.com/channel/democracy-lab/ ABOUT THE LEGATUM INSTITUTE The Legatum Institute is an international think tank and educational charity focussed on promoting prosperity. We do this by researching our core themes of revitalising capitalism and democracy. The Legatum Prosperity IndexTM, our signature publication, ranks 142 countries in terms of wealth and wellbeing. Through research programmes including The Culture of Prosperity, Transitions Forum, and the Economics of Prosperity, the Institute seeks to understand what drives and restrains national success and individual flourishing. The Institute co-publishes with Foreign Policy magazine, Democracy Lab, whose on- the-ground journalists report on political transitions around the world.

ABOUT CURBING CORRUPTION: IDEAS THAT WORK The Democracy Lab and Legatum Institute have commissioned a series of case studies that examine specific interventions against corruption which have produced positive results. The aim is to tell a set of stories that illustrate how combatting corruption works in practice, which may offer insight on some of the larger issues across the globe. The papers will form the basis of a conference in September 2015, and will focus on broader themes, such as developing methods to combat corruption, promoting good outcomes, and measuring success.

  • Lviv Unesco City of Literature Annual Report Lviv Market Square Є1
    LVIV UNESCO CITY OF LITERATURE ANNUAL REPORT LVIV MARKET SQUARE Є1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY “Lviv’s cultural community is responsible, creative, and welcoming. We see Lviv as a city of cultural traditions that nurture creative freedom; a heritage city whose legacy is constantly reinterpreted, developed, and passed on to future generations. Lviv offers a friendly environment for creativity, cultural innovation, and life overall.” Lviv Culture Strategy 2025 4 n 2015, at its second attempt Lviv was granted the UNESCO City of Literature status. The process of applying for this title Iconsolidated the local literary community, as it took two years—the same two years when the city’s comprehensive cultural strategy was being drafted. The application was initiated by the Lviv City Council, the Institute of the City, and NGO “Publishers Forum” in collaboration with the Lviv-based cultural activists. Despite the complicated socio- political situation in the country, this kind of a collaborative approach toward the process of application yielded new initiatives in the sphere of literature, which were only strengthened by the UNESCO City of Literature title. ight after the designation, the Lviv City Council and the initiative group started to plan an institutional framework Rto further support the title. They also adopted the municipal program “Lviv, City of Literature 2016-2020” that outlined strategic directions of the development of the local literary community—these directions had been highlighted in the application. The key fact was that the Lviv City Council approved the co-financing of this program in the amount of 2,700,000 UAH / 103,850 EUR which was the biggest budget for an urban literary program in Ukraine at the time.
