  • General Synod 2015 – Primus' Charge He Was a Good Man, Full Of
    General Synod 2015 – Primus’ Charge He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. Barnabas was of course the encourager. As we approach the work of our General Synod, we should be encouraged - we too should be full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. Jesus tells us that 'we should love one another as I have loved you'. And the pinnacle of Christ-like love is the love than which there is no greater - to lay down one’s life for one's friends. I hear those words of scripture as themselves an encouragement to us - an encouragement to transcend what we expect of a General Synod; an encouragement to strive to act as a community of faith and of love as we transact our business - some of it routine and some of it about things which stir passions; an encouragement to sustain visible unity in Christ as we do God's work together. There are many things in the work which we shall do during the next few days which in themselves are encouraging. I think particularly of the development of the Scottish Episcopal Institute, the continuing development of the Whole Church Mission and Ministry Policy, the breadth of our interests and concerns as expressed in the work of the Church in Society Committee, the quality, faithfulness and the missional shape of our administration. The most significant challenge to us as a Christian community comes as we address the questions around Same-Sex Marriage. In this too, we should be full of the Holy Spirit and of faith - people who love and sacrifice for one another? I believe that that time has come when we must address this fundamental issue of our times.

    1.) What was the original name of the Pittsburgh Steelers? B. The Pirates The Pittsburgh football franchise was founded by Art Rooney on July 7, 1933. When he chose the name for his team, he followed the customary practice around the National Football League of naming the football team the same as the baseball team if there was already a baseball team established in the city. So the professional football team was originally called the Pittsburgh Pirates. 2.) How many Pittsburgh Steelers have had their picture on a Wheaties Box? C. 13 Since Wheaties boxes have started featuring professional athletes and other famous people, 13 Steelers have had their pictures on the box. These players are Kevin Greene, Greg Lloyd, Neil O'Donnell, Yancey Thigpen, Bam Morris, Franco Harris, Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Barry Foster, Merril Hoge, Carnell Lake, Bobby Layne, and Rod Woodson. 3.)

  • Rethinking Education in Ireland: 125 State and Church in Irish Education
    RETHINKING EDUCATION IN IRELAND Interview conducted by Mr. Martin Beuster with Archbishop of Dublin, Dr. Diarmuid Martin MB: Archbishop, what is your vision for a Catholic education for the coming generations of this country? DM: Catholic education has a long tradition. Catholic are present in almost every part of the world, in the different cultures in different ways. What is important is that Catholic education as we go forward in a changing Ireland adapts to the changes but manages to retain the richness of its tradition. MB: It is certainly true that we are seeing fundamental changes in Irish society at the moment. Would you think that in the past we have seen Catholic education in Ireland? DM: There is the parents’ wish to have the right, as is in the Irish Constitution, to decide on the type of education their children receive. Now, Catholic education has varied. There are Catholic schools, there are forms of Catholic education which even people who are not Catholics would like their children to attend because of the quality of the education. As regards the Catholic school system, there are two particular temptations it has to avoid. One is elitism and the other is that Catholic schools, because they are the local community schools, are not left carrying an excessive burden by people who sometimes, speaking about diversity, opt out of diversity and opt to go to schools which are, in fact, elitist. That is a danger at the present time. MB: You mention diversity as an important aspect of education in today’s Ireland.
