    JOURNEY A Communicator for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kingston September 2017 www.romancatholic.kingston.on.ca Happy Anniversaries, Archbishop O’Brien! On Sunday, July 30th, Archbishop Brendan O’Brien celebrated two special anniversaries — thirty years as a bishop and ten years as Archbishop of Kingston — with a Mass and garden party at St. Mary’s Cathedral. Several members of his family travelled from Ottawa and Montreal to join the Archbishop for this special event, including (pictured above, from left to right), his brother, Michael O’Brien, his sister-in-law, Marie O’Bri- en, his sister, Rosemary O’Brien, his brother-in-law, Randal Marlin, his sister, Elaine Marlin, and his broth- er, Gregory O’Brien. Full story and more pictures on page 2 and page 3. photo by Katherine Quinlan JOURNEY Page 2 September 2017 A Reflection on Milestones Archbishop Brendan M. O’Brien It is often said that it is important to celebrate the milestones of life, whether they be birthdays, wedding anniversaries, graduations, retirements, or other special events. Milestones call our attention to life as a journey. Gathering with family and friends to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary, as many did last month to mark Canada’s 150th birthday, is a time to look back over the intervening years and to give thanks for our blessings as we face the challenges of the future. In my own family, this summer brought a succession of milestones, beginning with my mother’s 100th birthday on June 22nd. She is a healthy, active centenarian, and we gathered in Ottawa for two lively celebrations of her big birthday.

The Urban Dictionary defines “triggered” as “…when someone gets offended or gets their feelings hurt, or people with strong a sense of victimization.” During this past year, there have been lots of evidence, both in social media and within everyday life, of people having been “triggered”.

    AMERICA'S MISSIONS: THE HOME MISSIONS MOVEMENT AND THE STORY OF THE EARLY REPUBLIC A Dissertation by BRIAN RUSSELL FRANKLIN Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved by: Chair of Committee, Charles E. Brooks Committee Members, Katherine Carté Engel Troy O. Bickham Dennis Berthold Head of Department, David Vaught December 2012 Major Subject: History Copyright 2012 Brian Russell Franklin ABSTRACT This dissertation seeks to enhance our understanding of the early American republic by providing a study of the home missions movement from 1787 to 1845. The home missions movement was a nationwide, multi-denominational religious movement, led by mission societies, and aimed at bringing the Protestant gospel to the various peoples of the states and territories. A history of this movement not only fills a gap in the historiography of early American religious history, but also enlightens our understanding of the broader socio-political world of the early republic. The founding years of the home missions movement, from 1787 to 1815, were led by Congregationalists, Presbyterians, and Baptists. Despite interdenominational competition at home and diplomatic tension with Britain, Protestants tended to cooperate both interdenominationally and transatlantically in order to achieve broader, evangelical goals in their missions. Home missions societies also shed light on a third form of cooperation: cooperation between church and state. We can better understand the relationship between church and state in the early republic by rejecting the idea that these two entities functioned separately. Instead, they functioned within a complex system of cooperation, evidenced by consistent government subsidization of and participation in missions to both white settlers and Indians, as well as by a broad culture of cooperation with Protestant projects in American society.

  • To View a Century Downtown: Sydney University Law School's First
    CENTURY DOWN TOWN Sydney University Law School’s First Hundred Years Edited by John and Judy Mackinolty Sydney University Law School ® 1991 by the Sydney University Law School This book is copyright. Apart from any fair dealing for the purposes of study, research, criticism, review, or as otherwise permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission. Inquiries should be made to the publisher. Typeset, printed & bound by Southwood Press Pty Limited 80-92 Chapel Street, Marrickville, NSW For the publisher Sydney University Law School Phillip Street, Sydney ISBN 0 909777 22 5 Preface 1990 marks the Centenary of the Law School. Technically the Centenary of the Faculty of Law occurred in 1957, 100 years after the Faculty was formally established by the new University. In that sense, Sydney joins Melbourne as the two oldest law faculties in Australia. But, even less than the law itself, a law school is not just words on paper; it is people relating to each other, students and their teachers. Effectively the Faculty began its teaching existence in 1890. In that year the first full time Professor, Pitt Cobbett was appointed. Thus, and appropriately, the Law School celebrated its centenary in 1990, 33 years after the Faculty might have done. In addition to a formal structure, a law school needs a substantial one, stone, bricks and mortar in better architectural days, but if pressed to it, pre-stressed concrete. In its first century, as these chapters recount, the School was rather peripatetic — as if on circuit around Phillip Street.

    DAB UN OU O T R THE COTTERIDGE CHURCH Witnessing at the Heart of the Community March 2012 From the Vestry Dear Friends, I don’t know about you, but it feels to me like it was only yesterday that we were taking down the Christmas decorations and I look up to discover that Lent and Easter are on their way! It reminds me of the Gospel of St. Mark which we are journeying through in the lectionary this year. The story of Jesus’ life is punctuated with words such as “immediately” and “soon”. It really is a Gospel at a gallop and it emphasises the urgency of the Kingdom of God. For many, this is the experience of life at this time. The world is a fragile and ever-changing place. Nothing seems certain to last and many live with the daily discomfort of such a reality. People made redundant, firms going into liquidation, the effects of cuts. I guess that all of us, in one way or another recognise the pressures of the economic crisis and the way in which life brings massive changes in this era. The truth is that life does not remain the same for any of us. Even when we feel comfortable and settled, change is present and near, whether we imagine it or not. The season of Lent invites us to accept the ever-changing scenery of our journey, but also to make space to focus upon that which is eternal and everlasting. The Psalmist reminds us that we so often put our trust and energy in that which is transient and passing.
