In Meeting for Worship Wrecently someone ministered on the subject of house martins: how wonderful the symmetry, beauty and energy of their flight! The message was not that the house martin is a terrifying, natural born killer, snapping up with speed and efficiency the exquisitely organised life-forms we call insects, but that its beauty is uplifting in a way that somehow excludes this disturbing thought. We see the bird as we might see the herb-eating gazelle: graceful, delicate and as evidence of ‘something beyond us’ – a beauty in nature that lifts us out of the everyday world because, perhaps, it is meant to. Was this side-stepping of natural selection a kind of naive self-indulgence, as inadmissible in its way as the idea of ‘intelligent design’ so beloved of American fundamentalists? I can’t think that it was. We humans are planetary matter that has constructed a form by which the blind, unfeeling universe can see, know and understand itself. We are the product of a long process of change in the universe that goes back to the Big Bang theory. We cannot be certain that we are ‘meant’ to be here, but these are astonishing processes. If the Big Bang really is how things got started (leaving aside string theory and the multiverse), our very humanity, including our need for love, beauty and transcendence, is predicated in that tiny particle, smaller than an atom, impossible to define, from which, the scientists tell us, our present universe exfoliated in the first instant of time. Perhaps, through us and through the rest of the evolved animal world, the universe itself is moving towards new forms of transcendence that may ultimately reconcile the ‘fearful symmetry’ of the tiger with the ‘graceful symmetry’ of the gazelle. A little whimsical, you may think, and not quite answering William Blake’s question, but enough, at least, to accept the offering of a Friend who ministered movingly on the aerial acrobatics of a transcendently beautiful and perfectly designed predator. Derek Guiton Doncaster Meeting the Friend, 10 August 2018 3 News Ireland premiere for ‘eco film’ A QUAKER ‘ECo-FILM’ in which Irish Friends talk about their sustainability testimonies premiered last month at Ireland Yearly Meeting. Quakers: The Spiritual Journey of Earthcare, which was created from almost two dozen contributions, was shown at the gathering on 19 July in Limerick. Since then the film has been uploaded to the newly- created Irish Quakers YouTube Channel, as well as the Quakers Ireland Facebook page, where it was viewed more than 2,500 times in the first week.

  • Gender, Nation, and Modernity in Russia & Eastern
    1 Gender, Nation, & Modernity in Russia & Eastern Europe Hilde Hoogenboom RUSS294-01/WGST294-03 Spring 2005 [email protected] MWF 2:20-3:20 HUM212 REVISED April 27, 2005 MWF 12-1 office hours Course Description Amazons or Anna Kareninas? Strong woman or femme fatale? Baba Yaga or Cinderella? Do strong women produce weak men? Are gender relations in Slavic nations really traditional? Quite dysfunctional? The construction of gender as an important difference in Russian and Eastern European cultures became particularly evident in the nineteenth-century, with the confluence of questions about nation, history, politics, society, education, and culture. In these nations, feminism has long been associated with westernization, and Western views of gender and of gender in these nations are an intricate part of their and our gender discourses. During the past twenty years, with the disintegration of the Soviet empire and now the reintegration of a Russian empire, these issues have again brought gender to the foreground in debates about nation and society. Traditionally, Russia, Ukraine, Belorus, the Baltic nations (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and the former Yugoslavia have tended to compare their level of civilization and standard of living, partly reflected by status of women, with each other over against that of the West (Europe and America). Recently, the social and political gains women made under socialism have been seriously eroded by the transitions to capitalism and democracy. Since the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991, women in all of these nations have created centers for the study of gender, many funded by Western governments and organizations in the quest to improve women’s representation in civil society and democracy through NGOs.
