  • The Anonymous Groups
    The Enduring Legacy: the anonymous groups The apology that launched a million amends By Jay Stinnett, Los Angeles July 27th, 2008, marked the 100th anniversary of Frank Buchman’s Spiritual Awakening – one that directly linked him to the cofounders of AA. As a young man Buchman gave everything he had to establishing a shelter for homeless boys in the slums of Philadelphia. The shelters success surpassed his budget and the six-member board of directors insisted that he cut the amount of food being given to his charges. He quit instead of cutting back. Resentment consumed him. His family despaired that he might not come to his senses. His work was destroyed by what he saw as the short-sightedness of others. His health was well past the breaking point. “Everywhere I went, I took me with me,” he later said. During a trip to recuperate in Europe, he exhausted the funds his father gave him and existed on the kindness of his family and the generosity of acquaintances. Tired and dejected he went to an Evangelical Conference in Keswick, England, hoping to connect with F.B. Meyer, a famous minister he knew, for spiritual help. Meyer was not in attendance; another plan gone awry. July 27, 1908, thirty year-old Frank Buchman, a Pennsylvanian Lutheran Minister, walked into an afternoon service with 17 other people to hear Jessie Penn Lewis preach on the cross of Christ. And then it happened. As Buchman sat in that Chapel, “There was a moment of spiritual peak of what God could do for me.

  • A Special Supplement: Reflections on Violence by Hannah Arendt | the New York Review of Books
    A Special Supplement: Reflections on Violence by Hannah Arendt | The New York Review of Books EMAIL Tweet Share A Special Supplement: Refections on Violence Hannah Arendt FEBRUARY 27, 1969 ISSUE I These reflections were provoked by the events and debates of the last few years, as seen against the background of the twentieth century. Indeed this century has become, as Lenin predicted, a century of wars and revolutions, hence a century of that violence which is currently believed to be their common denominator. There is, however, another factor in the present situation which, though predicted by nobody, is of at least equal importance. The technical development of implements of violence has now reached the point where no political goal could conceivably correspond to their destructive potential or justify their actual use in armed conflict. Hence, warfare—since times immemorial the final merciless arbiter in international disputes—has lost much of its effectiveness and nearly all of its glamor. “The apocalyptic” chess game between the superpowers, that is, between those that move on the highest plane of our civilization, is being played according to the rule: “if either ‘wins’ it is the end of both.”1 Moreover the game bears no resemblance to whatever war games preceded it. Its “rational” goal is mutual deterrence, not victory. Since violence—as distinct from power, force, or strength—always needs implements (as Engels pointed out long ago),2 the revolution in technology, a revolution in tool-making, was especially marked in warfare. The very substance of violent action is ruled by the question of means and ends, whose chief characteristic, if applied to human affairs, has always been that the end is in danger of being overwhelmed by the means, which it both justifies and needs.

  • 'Bite Me': Buffy and the Penetration of the Gendered Warrior-Hero
    Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies, Vol. 16, No. 2, 2002 ‘Bite Me’: Buffy and the penetration of the gendered warrior-hero SARA BUTTSWORTH, University of Western Australia Introduction Can the ultimate girl be the ultimate warrior? If warrior identity is simultaneously a quintessentially masculine identi er, and one of the core expressions of ‘innate’ masculinity, then the biggest transgression of warrior iconography posed by Buffy the Vampire Slayer is Buffy’s gender. Buffy is both like and not like ‘other girls’. The social conventions of mainstream femininity, which have so often been used to argue that women cannot be warriors, are often precisely what make Buffy such an effective soldier in her speculative world. The blurred boundaries that are possible in speculative texts open up space necessary to examine the arguments and gendered ideologies which govern what is, and what is not, possible in the ‘real’ world. Such texts can often make explicit what is implied in more ‘realistic’ representations, and can either destabilize or reinforce gendered cultural conventions.1 Established as the ‘chosen one’ in the 1992 lm, and then in the television series which debuted mid-season in 1997, Buffy has slashed her way not only through the ctional constraints placed upon her predecessors in vampire carnage, but through the conventions governing gendered constructions of the warrior.2 Warrior tradition con- structs a coherent masculinity, including impenetrable male bodies, as the key to warrior identity, and renders ‘slay-gal’3 not only paradoxical but, arguably, impossible. It is this (im)possibility, and the ways in which Buffy the Vampire Slayer fractures and reinvents the gendered identity of the warrior-hero, which are explored in this article.

  • The Prophecy of Micah – a Promise for the Wounded
    The Prophecy of Micah: A Promise for the Wounded Micah 4:6-5:1 Preached by Pastor Jason Tarn to HCC on October 4, 2020 Introduction ❖ For the past month, we’ve been walking through the prophecy of Micah and coming across themes of judgment and restoration woven throughout the book. This was during a tumultuous time in Israel’s history when they were dealing with internal corruption, ineffective leadership, and invading nations. Now this book contains – not just one sustained prophecy – but multiple oracles coming from Micah, delivered at different times, under different kings of Judah. Sometime focused on judgment. Other times on restoration. ‣ Now we’re in chapter 4, and the prophecies here took place under the reign of King Hezekiah. That means by now, the northern kingdom of Israel has been annihilated by the Assyrians. The southern kingdom of Judah is now being targeted. And the Assyrians are getting closer to Jerusalem the capital. Prophecies of judgment and doom were issued earlier in chapter 3, but starting in chapter 4, Micah begins to offer prophecies of hope and restoration. Our section today is one of those hopeful sections. It’s meant to encourage the people of God. • And it will encourage – if they can recognize God’s good design to first wound them before bringing about a greater healing. He will break them first before assembling them back together, even stronger than before. ❖ Friends, what we see in the pages of Scripture is that God has a preference to work with the wounded. When carrying out his plans, he likes to use those who walk with a limp.

  • An Interpretation of the Twelve Steps
    THE DETROIT PAMPHLET Alcoholics Anonymous An Interpretation of the Twelve Steps (Also known as the Washington DC pamphlet or the "Tablemate") Preface The following pages contain the basic material for the discussion meetings for alcoholics only. These meetings are held for the purpose of acquainting both old and new members with the twelve steps on which our program is based. So that all twelve steps may be covered in a minimum of time they are divided into four classifications and one evening each week will be devoted to each of the four subdivisions. Thus, in one month, a new man can get the basis of our twelve suggested steps. 1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - -that our lives had become unmanageable. 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. 5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. 7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. 8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. 9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. 11.

    LI. Genesis in Biblical Perspective The Gospel of Christ from Genesis “A New Man, A New Name, A New Life” Genesis 32 Dr. Harry L. Reeder III We are in Genesis 32 for this study and finally Jacob gets converted, praise the Lord. God has revealed to us His sovereign love for ‘Jacob I have loved.’ We have seen Jacob sin and God’s longsuffering and drawing. Now Jacob comes in the newness of life and he is converted. Victorious grace becomes transforming grace and here is a new creation with a new name. He is a new man in Christ Jesus. We will begin by reading the first eight verses and then we’ll work our way through the entire chapter. This is the Word of God, it’s the truth. Genesis 32:1–8 says [1] Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. [2] And when Jacob saw them he said, “This is God's camp!” So he called the name of that place Mahanaim. [3] And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Seir, the country of Edom, [4] instructing them, “Thus you shall say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob, ‘I have sojourned with Laban and stayed until now. [5] I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, in order that I may find favor in your sight.’” [6] And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau, and he is coming to meet you, and there are four hundred men with him.” [7] Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed.
