  • February 17, 2019 More Love: Eros Proverbs 30:18-19 There Are Three
    February 17, 2019 More Love: Eros Proverbs 30:18-19 There are three things that amaze me—no, four things that I don't understand: how an eagle glides through the sky, how a snake slithers on a rock, how a ship navigates the ocean, how a man loves a woman. Song of Solomon 8:6-7 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death, passion fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a raging flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If one offered for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly scorned. SERMON - More Love: Eros “All You Need is Love”, “What the World Needs Now is Love”, “Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places” These are all songs that at one time or another were popular best sellers. “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” by Elton John is considered by some, the greatest love song of all-time. It staggers the mind to think of how many love songs have been written throughout the ages! Love is one of those universals that binds people together from different cultures and races – for we all know love. Whether we’ve fallen in love ourselves, or not, we have – at one point or another – experienced the gift of love in our lives, no matter how big or small. As Christians, we know something about love too! We are called to love --- to love God, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.

  • A Father's Love
    A Father’s Love Rev. Ken Read-Brown First Parish in Hingham (Old Ship Church) Unitarian Universalist June 16, 2019 Today is Father’s Day, and I want to talk a little bit about the nature of a father’s love, something I’ve experienced both in the receiving and in the giving. To get there, though, first a few more general words about this word “love” – this word we use often, yet which, though one word, has many varieties of meaning. In their wisdom the ancient Greeks had several words for love. I suppose it’s too late for us to create new words in English, but even so we might enrich our understanding of love by learning about these Greek words (as I did, reading a little book titled “Socrates in Love” by Christopher Phillips, from which I’ve taken some of this). First there is “eros.” It is of course the root of our word “erotic” but has richer meaning than that might suggest. Eros refers to romantic love, and more generally to the love of desire. It is a love which, as most of us know, can be supremely beautiful yet which can also lead us in directions that might not be so healthy for all involved, which has the potential to distract us from other values we hold dear. But at its best, eros, desire, can be a powerful motivator for the good, driving us to care for another person, to energize our lives, even to sacrifice for high ideals. Then there is “storge” which refers to the love within families: parents, sisters, brothers, grandparents, nieces, nephews.

Greenwood Street, Tamaqua, PA 18252 (570) 668-2180 ~ FAX (570)668-2181 Pastor ~ Cindy White Melody Gensure ~ Parish Administrator - Email~ [email protected] Parish website ~ www.ziontamaqua.com Our Mission: Zion proclaims the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Word and Sacrament as Gospel messengers in the community. We seek to be instruments through which God transforms lives and strengthens relationships within families and within our community of believers. 1 Happy February Brothers and sisters in Christ, The congregation of Zion continues to thrive during these trying times of the pandemic. This is “heart” month as we will be celebrating Valentine’s day. The Lutheran church commemorates Saint Valentine on February 14th. Saint Valentine born in 226 AD. He was a clergyman, either a Bishop or Priest. He is believed to have defended Christians in Rome during the Roman persecution, healed a blind girl and converted many people to Christianity. He was martyred for not recanting his faith on February 14th in the year 269 AD. He is the patron Saint for love, marriage, epileptics and beekeepers. Wednesday morning prayer will be celebrating “Love” all month. I will be having guest singers every Wednesday. You will want to tune in and be surprised by some of my guest’s talent. There is only one word for love in the English language. I far prefer the Greek language that has 7 words to describe love. They are as follows: Eros, romantic love, Philia: intimate, authentic friendship, Ludus, playful flirtatious love, Storge: unconditional, familial love, Philautia: self-love, Pragma: committed companion love, and last but not least, Agape: empathetic, universal love.

  • The Language of Love
    Lindberg/Love: A Brief History Through Western Christianity 9780631235989_4_001 Page Proof page 1 24.11.2007 2:24pm Chapter 1 The Language of Love ‘‘The Greeks have a word for it’’ is an old cliche´ but nonetheless apt for our subject. Indeed, in relation to ‘‘love,’’ the Greeks not only had a word, they had many words! Like so many aspects of Western culture, our understandings and views of love have been influenced by contributions from Greek thought. The Greek vocabulary for ‘‘love’’ includes the nouns ‘‘storge,’’ ‘‘epithymia,’’ ‘‘philia,’’ ‘‘eros,’’ and ‘‘agape,’’ and their respective verb forms. On occasion some of these words for love are interchangeable but they are not strong synonyms. As we shall see, the history of the language of love is intimately related to the history of ideas. But as some wag once put it, the history of ideas is akin to nailing jello to the wall. Hence, caveat emptor, readers are warned that past historical contexts are often foreign countries and that words familiar to us may have been used quite differently in different times and places. For example, Cheyette notes in his study of medieval troubadour literature that when we moderns limit our concept of love to a sentiment, we miss its medieval political and social meanings. Bolkestein makes a similar Lindberg/Love: A Brief History Through Western Christianity 9780631235989_4_001 Page Proof page 2 24.11.2007 2:24pm 2 The Language of Love point in his study of pre-Christian social welfare when he notes that in classical culture ‘‘philanthropy’’ meant love among men or human love not charity or social welfare.

  • Love Styles of Young Adults in a Metropolitan City of India
    Open Journal of Psychiatry & Allied Scienes (2015) 6: 83-8. doi: 10.5958/2394-2061.2015.00002.6 RESEARCH Love styles of young adults in a metropolitan city of India PriyaRanjan Avinash, Gurvinder Kalra, Alka Subramanyam, Henal Shah, Ravindra Kamath Abstract Background : Biological approaches tend to treat love as a brain generated physiological process like hunger or thirst. On the other hand, psychologists have created many descriptive theories of love in an effort to understand the full range of experience and behaviours associated with love. One of the most prominent and interesting models is the John Alan Lee’s theory called “love styles”. According to him, there are six love styles, named: eros, ludus, storge, pragmatic, maniac, and agape. Aims and objectives : This study aimed to assess the love styles of young adults and assess its relationship with their personality traits. Materials and methods : A total of 120 young adults were taken as the sample using purposive sampling technique. Socio-demographic profile, relationship status, and attitude towards sex were assessed through semi-structured questionnaire. Love Attitude Scale was applied and clinical assessment of personality traits was done using the text revision of the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) after taking their informed consent. Data was pooled and statistical analysis was done, using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and chi-square tests. Results : The most preferred love style in the study population was eros, while the least preferred was ludus. Extramarital relationship and premarital sex was positively associated with ludus love style. Subjects with borderline and narcissistic personality traits scored significantly high on the ludus love styles.
