Faithful citizens identify themselves as disciples, practice discernment under the guidance of the Spirit, and defend the human dignity of every person. Speaking Face-to-Face Finally, it is not only what we say but how we say it. For example, with social media, people tend to de-personalize the other. Or they attack an opposing political ideology, rather than respond to a per- son. It is so easy to write hurtful or callous words, which would not be said if we were speaking to that person face-to-face. As an antidote, keep the face of the person before you and speak to them as a fellow human being. I urge you to model honest and dig- ni ed discourse. is is an important contribution that we can make to our society.

    My journey continues... Written by: Gail Nampel You may remember during the fall of 2014, I shared that I was excited to be on a stewardship journey and invited anyone that felt called, to join me. Recently, my journey took me to Italy and I’m thrilled and honored to share the experience with you. This past December, while doing some work on my computer, I received an email from Mountain Bu- torac ‘The Catholic Traveler’ announcing that he was offering “A Low Season” pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi. A one-week, all-inclusive pilgrimage that included daily Mass at destinations like The Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, The Pontifical North American College. Plus, we’d step through six sets of Holy Doors, tour the Basilicas of St. Clare, St Mary Major, St. Paul Outside the Walls, St. John Lateran, the Vatican Museum, attend the Pope’s General Audience on Ash Wednesday, take the Scavi Tour, climb The Holy Stairs at the Chapel Volume of2, IssueSan Lorenzo3 and much, much, more! – This trip was being offered to the first sixteen people that replied…for a price that was FAR less than one might expect! What was there to think about? I’ve been wanting to do this for so long and finally had the opportunity! I immediately replied with a HUGE affirmative! I’m in! I’m going! My fellow pilgrims and I landed at the airport in Rome on Sunday, February 7th at 10:30 AM, boarded a bus and headed to the incredibly picturesque city of Assisi, situated in the slopes of Mount Subasio.

It explores the complex manner in which these central Italian cities both emulated and rejected the political and cultural hegemony of Rome through the ideological and performative reinvention of its cult icons. In the twelfth century the powerful urban center of Tivoli adopted Rome’s grandest annual public event, the nocturnal Assumption procession of August 14-15, and transformed it into a potent civic expression that incorporated all sectors of the social fabric. Tivoli’s cult of the Trittico del Salvatore and the Inchinata procession in which the icon of the enthroned Christ was carried at the feast of the Assumption and made to perform in symbolic liturgical ceremonies were both modeled on Roman, papal exemplars.

  • Why Do So Many People with a Name That Is Half Vietnamese, Half Foreign, Answer Questions About Vietnam? Can They Represent Vietnamese?
    https://www.quora.com/Why-do-so-many-people-with-a-name-that-is-half-Vietnamese-half-foreign-answer-questions-about-Vietnam-Can-they-r... Why do so many people with a name that is half Vietnamese, half foreign, answer questions about Vietnam? Can they represent Vietnamese? Can people with a name that is part-Vietnamese and part-foreign represent Vietnamese (cultural identity)? And my first thought was: When did Vietnamese people start adopting foreign names, and why? And we can split the answer to that question into two parts. The first part has to consider: Are Chinese names considered foreign? When did the surname Nguyễn, Trần, Bùi, Phạm, etc. become first introduced into the Vietnamese language? Where did those people who had those surnames originally live? I can’t answer these questions yet because I am still studying Vietnamese and Chinese history to see how culture migrated or originated, and we all know that Vietnamese culture was very influenced by its Chinese neighbor. The second part puts the whole Chinese and Vietnamese cultural identity messiness aside and looks more at: When did Vietnamese people adopt Western names? And I think this is easier to answer, which is that this became more prevalent in the late 20th-century as soon as there was a change in Vietnamese people’s access to communication technology and a change in their environment. Before the 20th-century, your average Vietnamese civilian probably only knew people within a 30km radius, and the Vietnamese leadership could probably communicate with civilizations within the Sinosphere and their neighbors in Southeast Asia.

Mai & Nguyen • 81 What’s Vietnamese for “Conflict?” An Exploration of Asian Identity Development Through a Vietnamese American/Canadian Perspective on Self-Given Names Mai Quang Hưng (Henry) & Nguyen Hoai Linh Châu Patricia The Fall of Saigon in 1975 ended the Vietnam War and prompted the first large-scale wave of immigration from Vietnam to North America. This is where a new generation was born—a generation that would attempt to combine a deep history of Vietnamese culture and tradition with a new national identity. Thirty years later, many Vietnamese families still face conflict on a daily basis in trying to reconcile two different cultures when asked a question as simple as, “What’s your name?” This moral conversation will explore Kim’s 1981 model of Asian American Identity Development through the personal narratives of a Vietnamese American and a Vietnamese Canadian as they dissect the constant struggle between the dual identities present in their names.

  • Asian American Naming Preferences and Patterns
    "They Call Me Bruce, But They Won't Call Me Bruce Jones:" Asian American Naming Preferences and Patterns Ellen Dionne Wu Los Angeles, California The names of Asian Americans are indicative of their individual and collective experiences in the United States. Asian immigrants and their descendants have created, modified, and maintained their names by individual choice and by responding to pressures from the dominant . Anglo-American society. American society's emphasis on conformity has been a major theme in the history of Asian American naming conventions (as it has been for other groups), but racial differences and historical circumstances have forced Asian Americans to develop more fluid and more complex naming strategies as alternatives to simply adopting Anglo names, a common practice among European immigrants, thus challenging the paradigms of European-American assimilation and naming practices.
