He is the alien, the fleeting ghost moving in and out among the shadows of the private mind, and of the collective mind. A wanderer. Where can He find a place in which He can be at home? He chal­ lenges the very grounds of the com­ u mon assumptions upon which we live, day after day. He was no radical social reformer) nor was He a radical political reformer. But He was a religious man who, out of His inner experience of God, spoke judgment upon the estab­ IA lished order. — Howard Thurman, The Growing Edge ONDAY ORNING EVOTIONS FOR INISTERS by Reuben Welch For Monday, March 7, 1988 selves. There is still labor to be done. It might be good for us to let our weight down on both of these realities. FRUITFUL LABOR They will be with us till Jesus comes or till we go. For us who share the divine calling, life in the flesh means labor. The word that saves us from drudgery or despair is f it is to be life in the flesh, that means fruitful the word fruitful. It isn’t work itself that robs us of vitality labor for me” (Phil. 1:22, RSV). and energy, it is the sense of futility or ineffectiveness in If we are not going “to depart” and “be our labor.

That is pound, was the confidence that the preaching of Christ especially clear on Monday, when our bodies and emo­ and his labor in Christ would be fruitful. tions are drained and our psychic energy is down. I think we need today a renewal of confidence in The trouble is, labor doesn’t end. In one sense there is Christ’s promise to us that our work will bear fruit that a line between Sunday and Monday, but in another will remain (John 15:16). The labor is ours, the fruit is sense there is no line at all. Whatever Sunday was— His. We can know, along with Paul, that in spite of our good, bad, or indifferent— runs over into Monday. And Monday feelings, our labor is “not in vain” in the Lord (1 then there is Tuesday. And another Sunday is coming. Cor 15:58). We are in the flesh; we are still our weak, human For Monday, March 14,1988 OUR DESIRE FOR DEPARTURE y desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. Con­ vinced of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again” (Phil. 1:23-26, RSV). There are Mondays when it would be “far better” just to depart! The same people, the same problems, the same situation— these are enough to make leaving a joy; except for the terrible process of moving. In Paul’s case, departure from prison was not exactly Reuben Welch an option. Given his health and his circumstances, de­ parture to be with Christ was, in fact, a real and viable one— except for the Philippians. “To remain . is more necessary on your account” (v. 24).

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database. In addition, for landscapes that are not currently listed on the National Register and/or do not have adequate documentation, concurrence is required from the State Historic Preservation Officer or the Keeper of the National Register.

REDISCOVERING CONSERVATISM: BURKEAN POLITICAL THEORY AND CONSTITUTIONAL INTERPRETATION ERNEST YOUNG* Recent decisions of the Rehnquist Court-particularlythe Court's 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey-have caused many to question widely-held assumptions about the meaning of judicial conservatism. In this Article, Ernest Young argues that the views of modern judicial "conservatives" such as Judge Robert Bork and Justice Antonin Scalia are antitheticalto classicalconservative political theory, as exemplified by the writ- ings and speeches of the eighteenth-century British philosopher! politician Edmund Burke. In particular,Mr. Young argues that strict adherence to the originalunderstanding of the Constitution, judicial deference to democratic majorities, and formulation of legal directives as bright-line rules are all inconsistent with class- ical conservatism. Instead, Mr. Young advocates an approach to constitutional interpretationinspired by Burke's emphasis on tra- dition and evolutionary reform. Moreover, Mr. Young speculates that it is precisely this "common-law constitutionalism" that may be driving the emerging center of today's Supreme Court.

Patterson: The Parable of the Bramble STAN PATTERSON THE PARABLE OF THE BRAMBLE Few are the parables found in the Law and Prophets section of the Bible, but one of these rare literary pieces is found in the tragic tale of Gideon’s sons (Judges 9:8-15). The record of Gideon’s achievements is dominated by his defeat of the Midianites (Judges 8), but he deserves notoriety for his paternal accomplishments as well: 70 sons, not to mention daughters and children born to his concubines! These 70 sons will later play a role in a tragic demonstration of ambition gone mad. In the shadow of his successful attack upon the Midianites, the elders of Israel tempted Gideon with position, power, and prestige. Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you and your son, also your son’s son, for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian.” But Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, nor shall my son rule over you; the LORD shall rule over you.” (Judges 8:21– 23, NASB) Gideon’s response gives a rare glimpse of the character of a man who was not motivated by the promise of position or power.

  • Iris Murdoch's Five Ways from Art to Religion

In this paper, I identify within Murdoch’s philosophical writings five distinct but related ways in which great art can assist moral/religious belief and practice: art can reveal to us “the world as we were never able so clearly to see it before”; this revelatory capacity provides us with evidence for the existence of the Good, a metaphor for a transcendent reality of which God was also a symbol; art is a “hall of reflection” in which “everything under the sun can be examined and considered”; art provides us with an analogue for the way in which we should try to perceive our world; and art enables us to transcend our selfish concerns. I consider three possible objections: that Murdoch’s theory is not applicable to all forms of art; that the meaning of works of art is often ambiguous; and that there is disagreement about what constitutes a great work of art.

    eScholarship California Italian Studies Title Without Precedent: The Watts Towers Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3v06b8jt Journal California Italian Studies, 1(2) Author Harrison, Thomas Publication Date 2010 DOI 10.5070/C312008893 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Without Precedent: The Watts Towers Thomas Harrison Italo Calvino, in the concluding tale of his Cosmicomics , tells the story of a mollusk that, though sightless, generated a beautiful spiral shell for external beholders to admire. The mollusk is of course a metaphor for the artist, whose creation becomes one in an endless series of images in the eyes of others. In fact the “vocation of form” embraced by the blind mollusk explains how the murky sea was transformed into a “visual field” to begin with. All the eyes that would focus in on shells like his in the course of the coming millennia — those of passing cuttlefish and seals, of sea captains with lady friends looking through a spyglass — owe their activity to this first and literally blind act of creation, generated in the manner of a spontaneous exclamation or gesture of love.1 “All these eyes were mine,” says the mollusk, with some bitterness, but an even greater sense of pride; “I had made them possible; I had had the active part; I furnished them the raw material, the image [. .] In other words, I had foreseen absolutely everything” (Calvino 152-53). The parable of the mollusk suggests that each important first step, each beginning, entails a journey whose nature is unknowable until one reaches the destination, and then turns back and discerns its shape.

The only wood mentioned in the building of the ark of the covenant, the tabernacle and the altar is acacia. Acacia wood is listed with other precious objects—gold, silver, fragrant incense, onyx stones—given to honor God. Today’s acacia tree is known for its value, diversity and durability. Some acacia trees have fragrant flowers used in making perfume. The seeds are edible. The bark is rich in tannin, a substance used in tanning, dyes, inks and pharmaceuticals. Furniture, oars, tools and gunstocks are made of the hard lumber from the acacia tree. Some 1,200 species of acacia trees and shrubs exist throughout much of the world, including Africa, Australia and North America. The acacia species is tough enough to survive the semiarid regions of Africa where 13 online adult Sunday school lessons its roots sink deep to capture the rare water which runs quickly into the soil.

  • Abstracts of Amsterdam 2010 Conference Papers
    Abstracts of Amsterdam 2010 Conference Papers Thursday, May 27, 2010 PARAGONE, SYMBIOSIS: RELATIONS BETWEEN PAINTING AND SCULPTURE IN NETHERLANDISH ART Chair: Lynn F. Jacobs (University of Arkansas) Kim W. Woods, Open University, [email protected] Early Netherlandish Painting and Sculpture: A Paragone? Early Netherlandish painters faced an artistic world in which painting arguably occupied a less prestigious position than sculpture, metalwork, tapestry and embroidery. Despite his much vaunted position as painter and ‘varlet de chambre’ of Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy, there is no evidence that Jan van Eyck undertook a single large-scale commission from his employer, while the published ducal accounts record large sums spent on other artistic projects. In building their immense reputations, and putting early Netherlandish painting on the cultural map of north-west Europe, Van Eyck, the Master of Flemalle and Rogier van der Weyden all had to establish their art in relation to other media. This paper aims to gather together some visual and documentary threads relating to the relative importance of painting and sculpture up to the mid 15th century. For example, it seems no accident that one of Jan van Eyck’s most virtuoso works, the Annunciation diptych in the Museo Thyssen Bornemisza in Madrid, evokes alabaster statues at exactly the time that fellow Bruges sculptor and ducal employee Gilles de Backere was working on the alabaster tomb of Michelle of France for Philip the Good. What evidence is there for a visual competition with sculpture in early Netherlandish painting? Around the same time, Jacques Daret was commissioned to paint shutters for an alabaster altarpiece for the Abbot of St.
