  • Introduction: the Emerging Alliance of World Religions and Ecology
    Emerging Alliance of World Religions and Ecology 1 Mary Evelyn Tucker and John A. Grim Introduction: The Emerging Alliance of World Religions and Ecology HIS ISSUE OF DÆDALUS brings together for the first time diverse perspectives from the world’s religious traditions T regarding attitudes toward nature with reflections from the fields of science, public policy, and ethics. The scholars of religion in this volume identify symbolic, scriptural, and ethical dimensions within particular religions in their relations with the natural world. They examine these dimensions both historically and in response to contemporary environmental problems. Our Dædalus planning conference in October of 1999 fo- cused on climate change as a planetary environmental con- cern.1 As Bill McKibben alerted us more than a decade ago, global warming may well be signaling “the end of nature” as we have come to know it.2 It may prove to be one of our most challenging issues in the century ahead, certainly one that will need the involvement of the world’s religions in addressing its causes and alleviating its symptoms. The State of the World 2000 report cites climate change (along with population) as the critical challenge of the new century. It notes that in solving this problem, “all of society’s institutions—from organized re- ligion to corporations—have a role to play.”3 That religions have a role to play along with other institutions and academic disciplines is also the premise of this issue of Dædalus. The call for the involvement of religion begins with the lead essays by a scientist, a policy expert, and an ethicist.

We generally sit alone reading documents in archives and write our articles and books without co-authors. But, this book could not have been written without material and moral assistance from colleagues, family and friends. Archival documents constitute the basis for the historical research that has led to the writing of this book. This research could not have been carried out without the devoted help and professional skill of archive workers in the United States and in Israel. My deepest thanks to those in the Central Zionist Archive in Jerusalem, in the Archive of the American Jewish Historical Society in New York, in the Yad Vashem Archive in Jerusalem and in the American Jewish Joint Distri- bution Committee (JDC) in New York and Jerusalem.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain T. HE MAJOR political event of the year was the general election. Held in October1H , it brought the Labor party to power with a majority of four. As Labor could depend on the six Liberal votes on most issues, they had an adequate working majority, but not one that suggested five years of office. The new House of Commons contained 33 Jews (31 Labor, 2 Conservative). The Queen's speech at the opening of Parliament in November included a promise of action against race discrimination. Anti-colored sentiments had been played down during the election, except at Smethwick, in the Midlands, where supporters of the Conservative candidate exploited racial antagonisms. It was the only constituency where there was a major swing of votes to the Conservatives. The financial position of the United Kingdom had deteriorated during the election period, and the new government found itself faced by grave balance- of-payments problems, which it attempted to solve by imposing a 15-per-cent surcharge on imports. This greatly annoyed continental exporters, but failed to prevent a run on sterling. The government was forced to raise the bank rate to 7 per cent, and it secured credits of $3 billion from foreign central banks for use in defending the pound. Repayments of $62 million on United States and Canadian loans had to be deferred. It appeared that the "stop-go" ap- proach to the economy was again to prevail. After Prime Minister Harold Wilson visited President Lyndon B. Johnson in December, he declared that the "charade" of independent nuclear power had come to an end.

  • The Greek Jews
    THE GREEK JEWS INTRODUCTION In 1821 on the southernmost por0on of the Balkan Peninsula, a Chris0an people known as the Greeks revolted against 400 years of OComan rule and successfully established a fully independent state recognized by the European powers. The Greeks would be the first na0onal group to win its independence and would inspire other na0onalist groups among the subject peoples of the OComan Empire to do the same in Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania and Albania. The young Greek state announced to the world that it was not sa0sfied with its original boundaries. Over the next century, this vibrant and energe0c state sought to expand its territory by incorpora0ng all those territories which were ethnically and historically Greek since ancient 0mes. The ideology upon which this phenomenon is based has come to be known as the Megali Idea (Fleming 29, 44). The Greek state had as its immediate goal the acquisi0on of the Greek Orthodox popula0ons of Macedonia, Epirus and Thessaly. Over the next 100 years, they achieved this reality. As the Greek state expanded, it acquired the various Jewish communi0es that lived in these areas. It is oWen said that Greece became a country for the first 0me in its long history in the 1820s during the Greek revolu0on. Historians of ancient Greek history describe the Greeks not in terms of a country, but as a civiliza0on which extended throughout much of the Mediterranean world forming a brilliant cultural zone which influenced many of the civiliza0ons around it. However, it is important to make note of that which many historians seem to neglect.

Our discussions will focus on the creation, preservation, organization, collection, translation, and use of records, evidence, and information. We will discuss continuities and change between chronological periods --including medieval and modern, and different cultures and settings--Jewish and non- Jewish. The topic is vast, so our discussions will go in different directions: official record keeping, personal records, collection and organization of information. Even more than in our previous topic--history of emotions/emotions in history--there is such an abundance of work onrecords, and record keeping in non-Jewish historiography, but exceedingly little on Jewish record keeping. The workshop is a culmination of a year of reading and discussions, we are attaching a bibliography of what we have read at the end of the reader.
