    THIS DYING SUMMER by Evan Griffith Fiction Honors Thesis Department of English University of North Carolina 2014 “On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles. We too have been there; we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more.” ― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan 2 CONTENTS Tunnels 4 The Attic 17 Chlorine 22 Angels Ministry 34 Stars 45 Heroes 49 Curtain 61 Reunion 66 House of Cards 76 Break Point 79 3 TUNNELS Rob was the one who first suggested taking poetry down to the tunnels. “It’ll be like Dead Poet’s Society, or something. Did you see that movie?” “Rob, you’re a genius,” John had said, eyes glowing with inspiration. “We can read Whitman and shit.” He said shit a bit awkwardly, as if it didn’t quite fit his lilting voice, still caught in the throes of a pubescent flux. It was hopeful to Rob, though, all the same – shit was everything beyond Whitman. It was John’s promise of a world of novelty lurking there just below the ground, a world where Rob was a genius and John swore like he never gave a shit. They had found the tunnels in the woods behind school one afternoon while skipping math class – Rob anxiously consulting his watch, John forging ahead and feigning disinterest in school policies with mild success. John’s legs were still too gangly for any true display of confidence, but he was the undisputed leader all the same. He stood the tallest, and the veins in his forearms were near-cerulean blue.

    YEAR IN REVIEW Wednesday, January 1, 2020 $1 TheThe ChronicleChronicle thechronicleonline.com Serving Columbia County since 1881 100 Year old sequoia cut down CHRISTINE MENGES [email protected] It had stood tall and proud for 100 years towering over Scappoose. Today, it is gone. On Dec. 24, The Chronicle received word from a Scappoose resident that a 100-year old giant sequoia was in the process of being chopped down. The sequoia and other trees on adjacent property located next to Dealers Market, LLC were in the way of the used car lot’s expan- sion and remodeling. According to Gregory Taresh, Dealers Market finance manager, the owner of Deal- ers Market had the tree tested, and results showed the tree had already rotted through. “They said we need to get rid of the tree, because we’re liable,” Taresh said. Southwest Sequoia Street in Scappoose is named for the tree. The street is catty-corner to Dealers Market where the tree is located, the official address of which is Columbia River Highway. According to an information page on the Sequoia & Kings Can- yon National Parks website, giant sequoias can live up to 3,000 years and can grow up taller than 300 feet. They usually grow along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, where the periodic dry heat of the mountains allows the cones on the tree to open and release seeds. Jeremy C. Ruark / The Chronicle As of Dec. 26, the tree had been On Dec. 24, workers began stripping the giant sequoia, and other trees on the property, of limbs and branches in the take down process.

  • By Nicholas Andrew Coates
    CHURCH AND TABLE -- A PARTICIPATORY ECCLESIOLOGY FOR THE CONTEMPORARY CHURCH by Nicholas Andrew Coates A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Emmanuel College and the Theology Department of the Toronto School of Theology. In fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Theology awarded by St Michael’s College and the University of Toronto. © Copyright Nicholas Andrew Coates 2012 Church and Table -- A Participatory Ecclesiology for the Contemporary Church Nicholas Andrew Coates Master of Arts in Theology St. Michael’s College 2012 ABSTRACT The contemporary Church is faced with a crisis of identity and purpose due, in part, to its uncritical engagement with many postmodern ideals. The consequence, for many, is ecclesial amnesia. Through the dismissal of the primacy of the Christian Narrative the Church has begun to forget who it is and what it is called to be - a sacramental community who, through a kenotic and perichoretic faith in Christ, participates in God’s eschatological vision of shalom. The identity and purpose of the Church is rooted in such participation. Remembrance of identity and purpose is crucial for sacramentality to be had, something which can be accomplished through faithful reengagement with its Narrative. One of the primary means of doing so is through the Eucharist. The Eucharist offers the possibility to ground the Church in its identity and purpose, liturgically transforming it into the kind of people God calls it to be, people who are one, missional and holy - people who, through their very existence, make the Kingdom of God made known in the present.
