Marcel said nigga all the time but he was shoe polish black and talked with an urban twang. Brown-skinned and mixed, I didn’t even ask permission. We spent all our lunch periods together in the schoolyard, watching the other kids play handball, tetherball, and basketball. I’ve enjoyed playing those games many times, but chilling was just our thing. I was twelve, and didn’t want to play as often anymore; I’d calmed down in some ways and found excitement in others. I was over kid shit, and I assumed Marcel was too. So lunch periods we leaned against the chain- linked fence, discussing basketball or rap—usually rap. “Cam G is mad fresh son,” Marcel said, “That nigga’s flow is amazing.

One late winter weekend, Greg happened to drive by the Metro, a legendary Chicago music venue, and saw a line of kids that stretched down the block. What made the scene unusual wasn’t just the crowd—it was what they were waiting for: the marquee read, “Louder Than a Bomb Youth Poetry Slam Finals.” Teenagers, hundreds of them, of every shape, size, and color, lined up on a Saturday night to see poetry? In Chicago!? Whatever this thing is, it must be interesting. The more we saw, the more convinced we became that, in fact, it was. There was the LTAB community—a remarkable combination of democracy and meritocracy, where everyone’s voice is respected, but the kids all know who can really bring it. There were the performances themselves—bold, brave, and often searingly memorable. And there were the coaches, teachers, and parents, whose tireless support would become a quietly inspiring thread throughout the film.

David Neelands, Dean of Divinity, Trinity College iii Table of Contents Introduction v The First Theological Oration, Preliminary Discourse 1 The Second Theological Oration, On Theology 13 The Third Theological Oration, On the Son, 1 45 The Fourth Theological Oration, On the Son, 2 71 The Fifth Theological Oration, On the Holy Spirit 97 iv Introduction REGORY of Nazianzus (330 – 389) has been treated as one of the brightest stars in the G firmament of the Christian tradition. The Orthodox name him “The Theologian”1 – a title they accord only one other, St John the Apostle and Evangelist – and honour him with two feast- days, January 25th and January 30th. The western Catholic tradition has ranked him among “the Four Doctors of the Eastern Church”2 and honoured him on May 9th. (When the Roman Catholic church revised its Calendar in 1969, Gregory was joined with Basil the Great in a single memorial on January 2nd.3) In spite of these accolades, Gregory has not received anything like the attention that western scholars have devoted to other ancient writers. This is especially true in the English-speaking world. Until recently, the only major modern study of Gregory in English is Rosemary Radford Ruether’s Gregory of Nazianzus: Rhetor and Philosopher (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1969).

The main emphasis of our work is to aid Japan’s approximately 7,800 churches, which have an average attendance of about 35 people.

  • Thomas Tallis the Complete Works
    Thomas Tallis The Complete Works Tallis is dead and music dies. So wrote William Byrd, Tallis's most distinguished pupil, capturing the esteem and veneration in which Tallis was held by his fellow composers and musical colleagues in the 16th century and, indeed, by the four monarchs he served at the Chapel Royal. Tallis was undoubtedly the greatest of the 16th century composers; in craftsmanship, versatility and intensity of expression, the sheer uncluttered beauty and drama of his music reach out and speak directly to the listener. It is surprising that hitherto so little of Tallis's music has been regularly performed and that so much is not satisfactorily published. This series of ten compact discs will cover Tallis's complete surviving output from his five decades of composition, and will include the contrafacta, the secular songs and the instrumental music - much of which is as yet unrecorded. Great attention is paid to performance detail including pitch, pronunciation and the music's liturgical context. As a result new editions of the music are required for the recordings, many of which will in time be published by the Cantiones Press. 1 CD 1 Music for Henry VIII This recording, the first in the series devoted to the complete works of Thomas Tallis, includes church music written during the first decade of his career, probably between about 1530 and 1540. Relatively little is known about Tallis’s life, particularly about his early years. He was probably born in Kent during the first decade of the sixteenth century. When we first hear of him, in 1532, he is organist of Dover Priory, a small Benedictine monastery consisting of about a dozen monks.
