Mazza 2009 iii Jean Ferguson Carr_______ THIS FIERCE GEOMETRY: USES OF THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN BIBLE IN THE ANTI-ABOLITIONIST AND ANTI-GAY RHETORIC OF THE UNITED STATES Michael J. Mazza, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2009 This dissertation examines the citational use of the Judeo-Christian Bible in two sociopolitical debates within the United States: first, the debate over the abolition of slavery in the nineteenth century, and second, the contemporary debate over gay rights. This study incorporates two core theses. First, I argue that the contemporary religious right, in its anti-gay use of the Bible, is replicating the hermeneutical practices used by opponents of the abolitionist movement. My second thesis parallels the first: I argue that the contemporary activists who reclaim the Bible as a pro-gay instrument are standing in the same hermeneutical tradition as nineteenth-century Christian abolitionists.

  • March 21, 2021 Sermon
    Kerry Mansir March 21, 2021 Christ Church Gardiner Lent 5 In the parish news a couple of weeks ago, I shared the story of the Philadelphia 11 in honor of Women’s History Month. The Philadelphia 11 are the women who, in July of 1974, were ordained to the priesthood at Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia. This was remarkable because just a year before, at the General Convention of the Episcopal Church, women had been denied ordination to the priesthood. And nothing had changed regarding women’s ordination in that year. But these eleven women, and others like them, were tired of waiting. They had tried the legislative routes within the church, but they were weary of being put off so that the Church could continue to “study the matter.” Choosing to be ordained without the blessing of General Convention carried great risk in that the women could be deposed, in other words, permanently barred from the priesthood in the future, and possibly any role in the Church at all. Their ordination was an historic moment in the Church. Knowing the story of these women is important to understanding our church history. But as one of you pointed out to me, the press release from July 31, 1974 that I shared in the parish newsletter failed to name any but two of these women. The news release did name the three male retired or resigned Bishops who performed the ordination, the male Harvard professor who preached the sermon, and several of the male Bishops who opposed the ordinations, including the Presiding Bishop at that time.

Photo by Tony Rinaldo. When I speak with new students, I frequently talk about how the “and” in the Yale School of Management’s mission to educate leaders for business and society is an essential and meaningful conjunction. It is a small word, and an easy one to overlook beside its polysyllabic neighbors, but it signals that the most vexing problems confronting us on the planet will require the best ideas across all sectors of the economy and all regions of the world. Our integrated curriculum combines multiple perspectives and academic disciplines to bring organizational challenges into clearer focus. Our community, similarly, brings together people from a remarkable diversity of backgrounds who pursue wide- ranging interests. The power of conjunction is evident every day in the classroom, when students contribute new insights and points of view gathered from experiences around the globe. And the spirit of combination extends to our faculty, whose team- teaching in our courses and scholarly collaboration with colleagues often spans disciplinary boundaries. The result is both a better framework for understanding the most significant and meaningful challenges in the real world and an environment that encourages new ideas.

  • The Word – November 2017
    St. Alban’s Episcopal Church he word November 2017 Volume 16, Issue 9 From the Rector October 2017 Volume 16, Issue 8 In last month’s newsletter I posed the question, “are you going to church, or are you the Church?” I followed that question with the statement that “Church isn’t a place, it’s people.” That statement became very real to me as I attended a workshop on church growth (Invite -Welcome -Connect) in October. I was accompanied by your Senior Warden Linda Cummings and parishioners Debbie Rosse and Kate Wettstein . The workshop facilitator challenged us to look at our current methods of inviting others to church, making them feel welcome and then making them feel “connected” – part of the church. At the workshop, the Invite -Welcome -Connect facilitator shared an anecdote with us. During a break at a workshop she was leading, one attendee from a smaller church came up to her and confided that she “really didn’t want her church to grow” because she liked her church just the way it is. We all have differing levels of comfort with change, and change in our church can be very difficult for some. But churches should never be content to just exist. Churches must be thriving, active in the community, and raising up disciples to share the Good News. But that will never happen if the invitation and the welcome are taken care of by a committee. We are all responsible for inviting and welcoming to church people hungry for the Good News of God’s love.

The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.[2] He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering (or dukkha), achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada—the oldest surviving branch—has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications Vajrayana, a subcategory of Mahayana, is recognized as a third branch.

    Pinnacle Sequoyah High School Literary Magazine 2020 through 2021 Cover Art by Briana Redner 1 My dear reader, Thank you for picking up this magazine. This project is the culmination of this class's best pieces. Hours were spent on these creations, these extensions of self, and for you to open this magazine and read this message, means so much to us. So go on, and enjoy! --Dominic Lattanzio, Co-Chief Editor This magazine is the result of long, caffeine-filled nights filled with swimming words and splitting headaches. The pieces it contains are the results of the inner emotions of a classroom of writers. Personally, Lit Mag has been a place of growth, a sanctuary, an outlet from the onslaught of the outside world. Looking back on old pieces of mine not only shows me how immensely my writing has grown; it shows me how I have grown. I want to thank Dr. Murphy and this class for both these areas of growth, for offering the timid fourteen-year-old I once was an outlet. So, reader, as you flip through our magazine, be aware that each piece contains a piece of its author. Read them, listen to them, and you will hear each author’s story.

Sessum, 2018 Representation at General Convention Bishop Neil Alexander and Deputy Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows are authorized to receive non-substantive amendments to this report at General Convention. Summary of Work Mandate: The Board of Archives directs the Church’s archives and records program and the Canonical Archivist who is charged to manage and care for current and future historical records of the General Convention, the DFMS, and the wider Episcopal Church. The Board reviews, approves, and recommends policy to the Executive Council and establishes goals for the Archives that strengthen the mission priorities of the General Convention. Meetings: In this triennium, the full Board met twice in person, and the executive committee met in conference six times. The Board gave close attention to its structural relationship to the General Convention and the DFMS, participated in the budget visioning process for the 2016-2018 triennium, further explored an archival facility in Austin for The Episcopal Church, and advocated for an electronic records repository and e- archiving system that could eventually benefit the wider Church. Strengthening Governance Relationships The Board devoted a certain amount of its time to the question of how to best position the Archives to sustain its historical mission in the future, create a viable basis for fund-raising, and share a sense of ownership of the Archives by the whole Church.
