CIRCA News from the Divinity School

I had intended to follow my last Circa column with a view into some of the tasks (both expected and unexpected) that make their way with regularity into the inbox on my desk, now that July 1 is a distant memory and I am well underway in the deanship. But I expect that there will be more than ample time for that, and so instead would prefer today to give a better sense of what it means to be the ambassador for the Divinity School by recounting a not atypical set of three days in mid-November.

But Ziedan did not: “Mumkin,” he said. “In Egypt, anything is possible.” It is not really the contents of the book that matter but rather Ziedan’s broader reputation and general outspokenness. Most critics agree with Ziedan’s own assessment that the book is “not against Christianity but against violence, especially violence in the name of the sacred.” Indeed, the lawsuit particularly mentions statements Ziedan made at a symposium held by the daily Al-Youm Al-Saba’a. “He insulted priests and bishops and said many things with no proof or evidence from books or history,” lawyer Mamdouh Ramzi told Reuters. “He is not a Christian man, what does he know about the Church?” The case has been supported by Coptic groups in the , the Netherlands, wo years ago, a relatively unknown Egyptian professor of Canada and Austria.

Though I entered the course hoping to find concrete answers and solutions for my future encounters with individuals in an environment of death and dying, I came away with a deeper awareness of the com- plexities across different contexts engaging this integral life event. I was able to undergo deep introspection into my own experiences and understandings concerning death; con- sequentially, I gained profound appreciation for the intimacy and tenderness inherent in one’s convictions on this subject. I also discovered that any monolithic examination of death involves the imposition of one perspective or viewpoint onto another. In an atmosphere that involves people from vari- ous backgrounds and faiths, I realized that the chaplain’s primary obligation is not to his or her personal beliefs or convictions pertaining to death, but rather to the patient and the people who surround the patient in difficult times.

to the School in perpetuity. We are deeply grateful to all the friends and alumni who have set up or contributed to endowment funds over the years. In comparison with our peer institutions, however, the Divinity School’s endowment is significantly and shockingly smaller. One consequence of this reality is that we have fewer resources available on a permanent basis to support students. Addressing this problem is one of the School’s and the Dean’s highest priorities. Even many years after their establishment, endowment funds remain living entities — providing organic connections between the original donors and honorees and the students and faculty of today. This is particularly the case with endowments named for distinguished faculty members of the School. Three endow- ments established at the Divinity School in the past fifteen years to honor distinguished faculty members provide direct financial aid for students.

Most recently the Jewish Studies and the Hebrew Bible Workshop hosted Claire Sufrin, Visiting Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Northwestern University, who presented a paper entitled “Martin Buber: Between Myth and History.” The event engaged the breadth of the workshop’s foci by combining modern Jewish thought, late medieval philosophy, and modern biblical criticism. It is no surprise, then, that Profes- sor Sufrin’s presentation drew a large crowd. Later this quarter we return to our tradi- tional themes of medieval philosophy and modern biblical criticism.
