    Trinity Sunday, Year A Reading Difficult Texts with the God of Love and Peace We all read Bible passages in the light of our own experiences, concerns and locations in society. It is not surprising that interpretations of the Bible which seem life-giving to some readers will be experienced by other readers as harmful or oppressive. What about these passages that are used to speak of the concept of the Trinity? This week's lectionary Bible passages: Genesis 1:1-2:4a; Psalm 8; 2 Corinthians 13:11-13; Matthew 28:16-20 Who's in the Conversation A conversation among the following scholars and pastors “Despite the desire of some Christians to marginalize those who are different, our faith calls us to embrace the diversity of our personhood created by God and celebrate it.” Bentley de Bardelaben “People often are unable to see „the goodness of all creation‟ because of our narrow view of what it means to be human and our doctrines of sin, God and humanity." Valerie Bridgeman Davis “By affirming that we, too, are part of God‟s „good creation,‟ lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people of faith begin to take responsibility for fostering love and peace throughout creation." Ken Stone “When we creep in the direction of believing that we absolutely know God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit, we have not only limited the Trinity, but also sown the seeds of hostility and elitism.

Clearly, this is a question that generates much controversy. There are scholars whose answer to the question is strongly nega­ tive, and others whose affirmativeanswer is equally strong. Indeed, ever since Edmund Burke's time there have been students to de­ clare that revolution in any precise sense of the word did not take place-that in substance the American Revolution was no more than a group of Englishmen fighting on distant shores for tradi­ tionally English political rights against a government that had sought to exploit and tyrannize.

  • Researching Memory in Early Modern Studies’
    Kate Chedgzoy, Elspeth Graham, Katharine Hodgkin, and Ramona Wray ‘Researching memory in early modern studies’. Memory Studies 11:1, 2018, 5-20 Introduction ‘Memory’, long a significant object of study for early modern scholars, has more recently become an important conceptual and interpretative tool used to explore a diverse range of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century texts, artefacts, remains and imaginations. In literary studies, critics have used memory to illuminate authorial recollections, representations of memorial acts and the relation of memory to performance practices (Hiscock, 2011; Holland, 2006). For historians, memory has offered a means of thinking about the complex processes of change and resistance that shaped early modern Britain and Ireland (Walsham, 2011; Wood, 2013). Frequently deployed to illuminate the social and affective dimensions of religious and political transformations and conflicts from the era, theorizations of memory have also been productively taken up to track the responsive formation of cultures of remembering and forgetting (Baldo, 2012; Ivic and Williams, 2004). Conversely, many of the core concerns of the cross-disciplinary field of memory studies find an echo in key themes explored in recent work on early modern cultures of memory. These include the commemoration of suffering, material objects and memory practices, memory and subjectivity, the politics of memory and the ways in which memory both makes and unmakes community identity. Scholars working on early modern memory are alert to these intellectual continuities, but adopt very different positions as to the similarities and differences between early modern and contemporary practices and concepts of memory. William E. Engel, Rory Loughnane and Grant Williams (2016), for instance, insist on the unfamiliarity of early modern memory culture in that it frames memory as orderly rather than disruptive, tied to the rational soul rather than the irrational unconscious (pp.

Instead of having a traditional dissertation, this project is organized like a record album where each chapter is a Track that contains an original song that parallels and plays off the subject matter being discussed to make a more encompassing, multidimensional, holistic, improvisational, and critical statement as the songs and riffs move along together to tell why an arts-based musical way of being can be a choice and alternative in our lives.

Everyone knows that the United Kingdom did not formally subscribe to human rights until 2001, and the general reaction to the title of this paper has been one of incredulity. Surely there were no human rights in the time of Henry VIII or Bloody Mary? Could anyone in their right mind reconcile the “Henrician despotism” with the rule of law? Your topic, Professor Baker, should not occupy us for many minutes. Well, it depends on whether we regard such concepts as descriptive or normative. It is perfectly possible to find early-modern assertions of many, perhaps most, of the standards or aspirations which have been relabelled in our own time using the terminology of universal human rights.

  • Love Your Neighbor As Yourself. Concrete Way to Express That Through Our Lives and Ministry Programs
    Introduction From time to time, the United Church Board has established a theme for its upcoming year of ministry and mission. In mid 2015, it began discussing how it might provide a positive Christian witness for a world being torn apart by fear and separation resulting in the development of an increasingly segregated society. The Board spent time considering a number of proposals over these months, using criteria for their sort that include: speaking and acting from an authentic base of Christian faithfulness; offering an inclusive approach rather than focusing on one group or need; being positive and affirming, rather than shaping our message around negative or "anti-" sentiments; and providing adequate time for congregational education and opportunities to be heard and included. Further, while offering a positive Christian witness often includes forms of political activity –such as voting, letter-writing, and other actions, the Board seeks to be respectful of all people and points of view and does not presume to identify singular or only-appropriate faithful individual responses in any arena. Through its leadership, the Board strives to encourage us all to find ways to rise above the shifting sands of party politics, by reminding us of our common ground of Christian faith, compassion, service, tolerance and generosity which have long characterized UCF's ministry. It is from that solid ground that we move into the future together. To those ends, the Board, on the recommendation of the Outreach Committee, identified the text "Love your neighbor as yourself" as the theme for a year in our life together.
