MBA Hope Final Final Final The Perfect Hope: More Than We Can Ask or Imagine by Margaret Anne Bamforth Adam Department of Religion Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Mary McClintock Fulkerson, Supervisor ___________________________ Stephen Fowl ___________________________ Stanley Hauerwas ___________________________ Kenneth Surin Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2011 ABSTRACT The Perfect Hope: More Than We Can Ask or Imagine by Margaret Anne Bamforth Adam Department of Religion Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Mary McClintock Fulkerson, Supervisor ___________________________ Stephen E. Fowl ___________________________ Stanley Hauerwas ___________________________ Kenneth Surin An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2011 Copyright by Margaret Bamforth Adam 2011 Abstract As Christians in the United States struggle to sustain hope in the face of global economic, environmental, military, and poverty crises, the most popular source of theological hope for preachers and congregations is that of Jürgen Moltmann and the Moltmannian hope that draws on his work. Moltmannian theology eschews close connections with more-canonically established doctrines of hope, claiming instead on a future-based, this-worldly eschatology that hopes in the God who suffers. An exclusive reliance on a Moltmannian theology of hope deprives the church of crucial resources for a robust eschatological hope and its practices. Critical attention to additional streams of of theologial hope, and to applicable discourses within and without Christian theology, provides the church with strength and resilience to sustain a distinctly Christian theological hope through and beyond disaster, despair, suffering, and death. Jesus Christ, the perfect hope, embodies the life — earthly and eternal — of humanity and its eschatological end, a life in which humans can participate, through grace and discipleship. $ To make this argument, I survey characteristics of Moltmannian hope and then identify costs of a theological hope that relies exclusively on Moltmannia resources. I review a Patristic and Thomistic grammar of theological hope and its accompanying grammar of God; and I explore possible contributions to theological hope from an assortment of contemporary conversations outside conventionally- identified areas of Christian hope. I conclude with two suggestions for ecclesial formation of Christians in theological hope. iv Contents Introduction$.......................................................................................................................................1 1.

  • (Dis)Believing and Belonging: Investigating the Narratives of Young British Atheists1
    (Dis)Believing and Belonging: Investigating the Narratives of Young British Atheists1 REBECCA CATTO Coventry University JANET ECCLES Independent Researcher Abstract The development and public prominence of the ‘New Atheism’ in the West, particularly the UK and USA, since the millennium has occasioned considerable growth in the study of ‘non-religion and secularity’. Such work is uncovering the variety and complexity of associated categories, different public figures, arguments and organi- zations involved. There has been a concomitant increase in research on youth and religion. As yet, however, little is known about young people who self-identify as atheist, though the statistics indicate that in Britain they are the cohort most likely to select ‘No religion’ in surveys. This article addresses this gap with presentation of data gathered with young British people who describe themselves as atheists. Atheism is a multifaceted identity for these young people developed over time and through experience. Disbelief in God and other non-empirical propositions such as in an afterlife and the efficacy of homeopathy and belief in progress through science, equality and freedom are central to their narratives. Hence belief is taken as central to the sociological study of atheism, but understood as formed and performed in relationships in which emotions play a key role. In the late modern context of contemporary Britain, these young people are far from amoral individualists. We employ current theorizing about the sacred to help understand respondents’ belief and value-oriented non-religious identities in context. Keywords: Atheism, Youth, UK, Belief, Sacred Phil Zuckerman (2010b, vii) notes that for decades British sociologist Colin Campbell’s call for a widespread analysis of irreligion went largely un- heeded (Campbell 1971).

    Valenzuela, Michael. “Story and Vision: Exploring the Use of Stories for Growth in the Life of Faith.” AXIS: Journal of Lasallian Higher Education 8, no. 2 (Institute for Lasallian Studies at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota: 2017). © Michael Valenzuela, FSC, PhD. Readers of this article have the copyright owner’s permission to reproduce it for educational, not-for-profit purposes, if the author and publisher are acknowledged in the copy. Story and Vision: Exploring the Use of Stories for Growth in the Life of Faith Michael Valenzuela, FSC2 Chapter One Statement of the Problem The use of story in communicating religious understanding and tradition is as old as religion itself. Human beings have always resorted to the language of story (image, symbol, metaphor, narrative) to speak of their encounters with Mystery. Telling stories is so much a part of what we do as human beings that we often take it for granted. Thus, the turn to story in religious education is nothing new, rather, it stems from a growing recognition and appreciation of the centrality of narratives to growth in personal and communal faith. How can different forms of stories be used to facilitate the growth in the life of faith among Catholic elementary and high school students in the Philippines? This is the question this extended essay seeks to address. Scope and Limitations “Story” is one of those deceptively simple words that everyone seems to use and hardly anyone can adequately define. A helpful definition offered by the Christian ethicist Stanley Hauerwas describes story as “a narrative account that binds events and agents together in an intelligible pattern.”3 While strictly speaking, one can differentiate between story and narrative, for the purposes of this extended essay, I will treat these two terms as meaning essentially the same thing.

  • Jean Vanier Was a Canadian Humanitarian and Social Visionary
    Jean Vanier was a Canadian humanitarian and social visionary. Founder of L’Arche and co-founder of Faith and Light, Vanier was a passionate advocate for persons with intellectual disabilities and a world where each person BACKGROUND is valued and belongs. EAN VANIER was born on September 10, 1928, in Geneva, JSwitzerland, the fourth of five children of Canadian parents, future Governor General Georges Vanier and Madame Pauline Vanier. Jean received a broad education in England, France, and Canada. At age 13, he informed his parents of his intention to leave Canada to join the Royal Navy in Great Britain. His father responded, “I don’t think it’s a good idea, but I trust you.” Jean said that his father’s trust in him touched him deeply and gave him confidence in his inner voice throughout his life. Vanier entered the Royal Navy at Dartmouth Naval College in 1942. From 1945 to 1950, he served on several warships, accompanying the British royal family in 1947 on their tour of South Africa aboard the HMS Vanguard. He transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1949. During this period he began to pray during long stretches serving watch on the ship’s bridge and came to realize that his future would move beyond the life of a naval officer. He resigned his naval commission in 1950 and devoted “Jean Vanier’s inspirational himself to theological and philosophical studies, obtaining his work is for all humanity, doctorate in 1962 from the Institut Catholique in Paris with a including people with widely praised dissertation, “Happiness as Principle and End of intellectual disabilities.

Clare Four times each year, at our quarterly ‘Obit’ services in St David George’s Chapel, we commemorate and give thanks for the Founder and Benefactors of the College of St George. As we do Photographs: so, we remember all those “who helped to create and establish St George’s House as a centre of learning and study”. We are reminded at each ‘Obit’ observation of the significant part that St George’s House has played in the history of the College. During 2016, as you will see from what follows in this Review, we were delighted to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the House by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and Dean Robin Woods. During the past year, we have been especially mindful of the vision, imagination, and profound concern to help build a better world that were at the beginning, and have remained through the years, the inspiration of the architects of the St George’s House wide-ranging programme.

  • “Community As a Window of Hope” the Story of an Emerging L'arche
    “Community as a Window of Hope” The Story of an Emerging L’Arche Community by Cassidy Klein Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation as an Honors Scholar at Point Loma Nazarene University, San Diego, California, May 7, 2020. Approved by _______Rebecca Laird________ _____Dean Nelson______________________ [Committee Member Name] _____Maria Nagy_______________________ [Committee Member Name] Date___________27 April 2020___________ 1 I. L’Arche and the Need for Community In the state of California, after adults with developmental disabilities turn 22, they “age out” of the school system. That’s when they lose the resources and programs provided by schools and the federal government through IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) which ensures that each child with disabilities receives necessary support. Their caretakers, who are often the parents or single parent of an adult with intellectual disabilities, are left to care for their adult family member with disabilities themselves and often struggle to find appropriate adult care programs or homes. “Here in San Diego county about 500 students a year ‘age out’ of the system, age out of educational services,” said Dr. Rebecca Laird, who is the president of the launch team for Friend Ship San Diego. “They’ve mostly been students who have been going to school, and by the time they’re about 22, there are no more services available.” About two years ago, six moms of adults with developmental disabilities began meeting to discuss starting a L’Arche community in San Diego to address this concern. L’Arche (French for ‘ark’ and rhymes with marsh) is a worldwide federation of communities founded in the 1960s where people with and without intellectual disabilities live and work together as peers.

Paterson Sydney Angus and Robertson 1905 Preface The object of the present publication is to gather together all the old bush songs that are worth remembering. Apart from other considerations, there are many Australians who will be reminded by these songs of the life of the shearing sheds, the roar of the diggings townships, and the campfires of the overlanders. The diggings are all deep sinking now, the shearing is done by contract, and the cattle are sent by rail to market, while newspapers travel all over Australia; so there will be no more bush ballads composed and sung, as these were composed and sung, as records of the early days of the nation. In their very roughness, in their absolute lack of any mention of home ties or of the domestic affections, they proclaim their genuineness.
