A Timely Reflection for Ramadan… Established 1967 www.lucannewsletter.ie Sub. 80c Sunday 12th May 2019 A timely reflection for Ramadan….. Recently two aging parishioners were lucky enough to visit the Great Silk Road in Uzbekistan. The road has existed for millennia and the great cities of Tashkent, Samarkand Bokhara and Khiva were cities of great learning where silks and spices, especially from China were traded for European ideas and contact. Of note is that these cities tolerated the great world religions that lived and intermingled together on the great routes connecting East and West. Intermarriage was common. There are now major infrastructural projects been built to reconnect Europe and Asia by road, rail and air. We live in a world experimenting again with exclusion, hatred and obfuscation rearing their heads despite the obvious post war advantages of working in harmony and supporting the intermingling of different peoples. Europe has been a beacon in that regard. Uzbekistan is a safe and gentle outpost of Islam where there is little exclusion or distrust. The cities are clean and safe and the great Mosques and Madrassahs (schools) stand in monument to their great cultural and scientific achievements. Astronomy, Medicine and writing skills with papermaking and bookmaking were developed in the area under Islamic control. There are many now who preach a distrust of Islam. Myths abound about what that religion actually teaches. The Koran does not preach intercommunal strife and exclusion, it rather preaches and teaches tolerance and hospitality to different races and faiths. To blame Muslims for the evils of a few of their more extreme adherents is like the blame attributed to the Irish as a race for IRA atrocities. Christians also committed atrocities in the name of the Bible over the centuries. Many of our new Irish neighbours are of the Muslim faith. They are our neighbours; we welcome them into our community and we look forward to their cultural and economic input which will definitely be an advantage to us all. After all, we are admonished in this contracting world to love our neighbour.

  • Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated May 8 2015
    Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated May 8 2015 In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’ Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys. However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23rd September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20 th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather.
