Well the truth, veritas, seems M M simple enough, but venery is rather more obscure. It is M M not a word much favored today—indeed my dictionaries M M all refer to it as archaic—but it does possess the distinction M M of having two different meanings each deriving from M separate Latin roots. The first meaning is the gratifica- M M tion or indulgence of sexual desire (from venus or love), M M while the second is the practice or act of hunting; the M M chase (from venari or to hunt). Even more interesting, the M M possible Indo-European base for both venus and venari M is wen meaning to strive for; desire. How appropriate for M M this zine! Oblaque V is filled with stories of venery M M documenting the tremendous back and forth struggle M M between Avon and Blake, the terrible sexual tension that M M continually threatens to annihilate them, and the con- M nection between them that they cannot seem to sever M M even over distance or time. M M Contributors to this issue include Sebastian, Caroline M M Dare, and K. Thomas & D. D. M. Everything else is by the M Glaswegian (who else?). Spelling is, as usual, the odd 3 M mixture of old and new British spellings, New World MMM versions of words, and long bits that are ‘completely made up’ (the Glaswegian’s contribution). Punctuation is also on the idiosyncratic side. Oh, and for those who have been asking. No, the Glaswegian does not use a thesaurus; neither does she use a dictionary while she is writing. If a word is not forthcoming from her tiny brain, then she makes one up on the spot. ‘ Ardure’ in Caveat Emptor is a perfect example of this process. It is now declared to mean the noun form of arduous and it sounds very nice when paired with the real word ordure. A last word of thanks to LDM who generously moved his computer working time to days and left me the evenings for the inevitable final crunch before deadline. Caroline K. Carbis, Editor *For the new reader. The slash mark ‘/’ is called an oblique stroke in Britain. Thus, when you write slash fiction in Blake’s 7, you oblique Blake’s 7 and get Oblaque. Quite simple really. MLMLMLMLMLMLMLMLMLMLMLMLMLM OBLAQME M: in Menery Meritas MLMLMLMLMLMLMLMLMLMLMLMLMLM MENERY: INCIPIT MMMMM M.

    PENDLE HILL PAMPHLET 2 A Religious Solution To The Social Problem Howard H. Brinton PENDLE HILL PUBLICATIONS WALLINGFORD, PENNSYLVANIA HOWARD H. BRINTON 2 A Religious Solution To The Social Problem ABOUT THE AUTHOR Howard H.Brinton, Ph.D., Professor of Religion, Mills College; Acting Director, Pendle Hill, 1934-35. Published 1934 by Pendle Hill Republished electronically © 2004 by Pendle Hill http://www.pendlehill.org/pendle_hill_pamphlets.htm email: [email protected] HOWARD H. BRINTON 3 A Religious Solution To The Social Problem A religious solution to the social problem involves an answer to two preliminary questions — what social problem are we attempting to solve and what religion do we offer as a solution? Since religion has assumed a wide variety of forms it will be necessary, if we are to simplify and clarify our approach, to adopt at the outset a definite religious viewpoint. To define our premises as those of Christianity in general is not sufficiently explicit because historic Christianity has itself assumed a wide variety of forms. For the purpose of the present undertaking I shall approach our problem from the original point of view of the Society of Friends, which, in many ways, resembled that of early Christianity. Such an approach need not imply a narrow sectarian view. Early Quakerism exhibited certain characteristics common to many religious movements in their initial creative periods. Later Quakerism has shared the fate of other movements in failing to carry on the ideals of the founders. As for the social problem for which we seek a solution, it is the fundamental dilemma out of which most present-day social problems arise.

Luke wrote of its formation, Acts 18,19, then of its foundation, Acts 20. Paul recorded its fulness in Ephesians 1-3, then its focus in Ephesians 4-6. John was inspired to point to the Ephesian church’s failing in Revelation 2:1-7. Paul wrote to the church at Corinth, before committing to a visit there, saying, I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries, I Corinthians 16:8,9. Three things may be observed about the great missionary apostle here. First, he was a man who followed plans in doing the work of the Lord, second, he always viewed his ministry in terms of opportunity to do a work for God, and third, he thrived on opposition.

  • ABSTRACT Augustinian Auden: the Influence of Augustine of Hippo on W. H. Auden Stephen J. Schuler, Ph.D. Mentor: Richard Rankin
    ABSTRACT Augustinian Auden: The Influence of Augustine of Hippo on W. H. Auden Stephen J. Schuler, Ph.D. Mentor: Richard Rankin Russell, Ph.D. It is widely acknowledged that W. H. Auden became a Christian in about 1940, but relatively little critical attention has been paid to Auden‟s theology, much less to the particular theological sources of Auden‟s faith. Auden read widely in theology, and one of his earliest and most important theological influences on his poetry and prose is Saint Augustine of Hippo. This dissertation explains the Augustinian origin of several crucial but often misunderstood features of Auden‟s work. They are, briefly, the nature of evil as privation of good; the affirmation of all existence, and especially the physical world and the human body, as intrinsically good; the difficult aspiration to the fusion of eros and agape in the concept of Christian charity; and the status of poetry as subject to both aesthetic and moral criteria. Auden had already been attracted to similar ideas in Lawrence, Blake, Freud, and Marx, but those thinkers‟ common insistence on the importance of physical existence took on new significance with Auden‟s acceptance of the Incarnation as an historical reality. For both Auden and Augustine, the Incarnation was proof that the physical world is redeemable. Auden recognized that if neither the physical world nor the human body are intrinsically evil, then the physical desires of the body, such as eros, the self-interested survival instinct, cannot in themselves be intrinsically evil. The conflict between eros and agape, or altruistic love, is not a Manichean struggle of darkness against light, but a struggle for appropriate placement in a hierarchy of values, and Auden derived several ideas about Christian charity from Augustine.

  • Emily Dickinson Poems Commentary
    Emily Dickinson was twenty on 10 December 1850. There are 5 of her poems surviving from 1850-4. Poem 1 F1 ‘Awake ye muses nine’ In Emily’s youth the feast of St Valentine was celebrated not for one day but for a whole week, during which ‘the notes flew around like snowflakes (L27),’ though one year Emily had to admit to her brother Austin that her friends and younger sister had received scores of them, but his ‘highly accomplished and gifted elderly sister (L22)’ had been entirely overlooked. She sent this Valentine in 1850 to Elbridge Bowdoin, her father’s law partner, who kept it for forty years. It describes the law of life as mating, and in lines 29-30 she suggests six possible mates for Bowdoin, modestly putting herself last as ‘she with curling hair.’ The poem shows her sense of fun and skill as a verbal entertainer. Poem 2 [not in F] ‘There is another sky’ On 7 June 1851 her brother Austin took up a teaching post in Boston. Emily writes him letter after letter, begging for replies and visits home. He has promised to come for the Autumn fair on 22 October, and on 17 October Emily writes to him (L58), saying how gloomy the weather has been in Amherst lately, with frosts on the fields and only a few lingering leaves on the trees, but adds ‘Dont think that the sky will frown so the day when you come home! She will smile and look happy, and be full of sunshine then – and even should she frown upon her child returning…’ and then she follows these words with poem 2, although in the letter they are written in prose, not verse.

In 1948 there was a great revival sent from God to cover the whole earth. It was truly an awakening to the Word of the Lord, yet millions of people did not know that God was visiting His people again. The revival hit like a bolt of lightening in Battleford, Canada and from there it spread all over the world. At the same time, the land of God, which is Israel, became a Nation, as the Bible teaches in Matthew 24:32. "When His branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh." The nation of Israel gave trees to the people of the land and they planted them in Israel. My childhood days were filled with my wonderful family, who lived in Garden Grove to sing, play their guitars and preach every night on the streets of downtown Garden Grove.

  • The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, Part One: 1890 to 1919
    Journalist in Silent Film 35 The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, 1890 to 1929: Part One 1890 to 1919 Joe Saltzman Professor of Journalism Director of the Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) A Project of the Norman Lear Center Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] with Liz Mitchell Senior Research Associate Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] Introduction This is the first installment in the landmark study of “The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, 1890 to 1929.” It covers 1,948 films from 1890 to 1919. Part Two will cover the years from 1920 to the beginning of recorded sound in 1929. This is the first comprehensive study of the beginning of cinema’s earliest depictions of the journalist, mostly newspaper reporters, editors, and publishers. Newspaper fiction flourished at a time when journalism “was a revolutionary force, tearing up traditions, redefining public morality, and lending voice and encouragement to the disenfranchised. It reflected currents sweeping through every phase of American life. The skyrocketing circulations, the manic search for exclusive news, the sensational headlines, and the concentration of newspaper ownership were signs of an America changing from a rural society to an urban and industrial one. Since journalism so clearly mirrored and so loudly supported the new order, it became the preeminent symbol for the mechanization, standardization, democratization, and vulgarization of culture.”1 Historian Howard Good points out that the 1890s “represented a watershed not only in American journalism but also in American history.

Cyr I Wilfred Owen is the best-known war poet in English-language literature, and "Strange Meeting" is arguably not just his most famous poem, but his best. Siegfried Sassoon, his friend and mentor, and the editor of the first fairly extensive collection of Owen's poems, judged it to be his "mas terpiece" (Siegfried's Journey 59), although his personal relationship with Owen, as well as with this poem in particular, may have influenced that judgment, and there are others who not only do not see "Strange Meeting" as Owen's masterpiece, but think all or parts of it are plain bad.

  • Spiritual Writings of Kierkegaard
    Acclaim for Provocations Richard Mouw, Fuller Theological Seminary Kierkegaard’s writings seem to get more “contemporary” every year. This well-selected collection of writings should be read and re-read by everyone who is attempting to minister to our present generation. William Willimon, Duke University Chapel Moore has done us a great service in sifting through Kierkegaard and giving us his essential writings. Here is a book to be savored, enjoyed, and yes, provoked by. Donald Bloesch, author, The Crisis of Piety An important and helpful guide to Kierkegaard’s spirituality. Gregory A. Clark, North Park University Since Kierkegaard scholarship has become a cottage industry, it is has become possible to exchange Kierkegaard’s passion for a passion for Kierkegaard’s works. Moore’s introduction and collection retrieve the passion that animates Kierkegaard himself. That passion, with all its force, still addresses the reflective reader. Vernon Grounds, Chancellor, Denver Seminary The editor needs to be congratulated on discerning in the overwhelm- ing task of choosing the best when everything is of the highest quality. This book is an outstanding addition to Kierkegaard publications. It will influence readers to become enthusiastic students of his Christ- centered thought. Daniel Taylor, author, The Myth of Certainty I discover in Kierkegaard an honesty, passion, and insight into the hu- man condition and the life of faith that speaks to my deepest needs. Kierkegaard is one of a small handful of thinkers with whom every re- flective Christian must come to terms. Clark H. Pinnock, author, Flame of Love Provocations brings Søren Kierkegaard, a fountain of deep wisdom and radical faith, to readers who might otherwise have difficulty un- derstanding him.

  • The New Being by Paul Tillich
    The New Being by Paul Tillich The New Being was published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1955. This material was prepared for Religion Online by Ted & Winnie Brock. PDF by ANGEL ([email protected]) Chapter 1: "To Whom Much is Forgiven. ." Jesus is on the side of the sinner. Forgiveness is not found among the righteous ones, for they do not know how to give it. The Church would be more the Church of Christ if it joined Jesus in its encounter with those who are rightly judged unacceptable. Chapter 2: The New Being Christianity as a religion is not important, for Christianity is more than a religion. It is the New Being that is important. Resurrection is not an event that might happen in some remote future, but it is the power of the New Being to create life out of death, here and now, today and tomorrow. Where there is a New Being, there is resurrection, namely, the creation into eternity out of every moment of time. Chapter 3: The Power of Love He who professes devotion to God may abide in God if he abides in love, or he may not abide in God if he does not abide in love. And he who does not speak of God may abide in Him if he is abiding in love. And since the manifestation of God as love is His manifestation in Jesus the Christ, Jesus can say that many of those who do not know Him, belong to Him, and that many of those who confess their allegiance to Him do not belong to Him.

BIBLICO-LITURGICAL REFLECTIONS: A Pastoral Tool for the LECTIO A. Gospel Reading (Mt 5:1-12): “Blessed are the poor in spirit.” In today’s Gospel episode (Mt 5:1-12) Jesus proclaims the Beatitudes which are a “summary” of the meaning of Christian discipleship. In the Beatitudes, Jesus – the new Moses teaching on the new mountain of revelation - offers us the foundations of the law of the Kingdom. He shows us the path of Christian perfection. The Beatitudes are a description of Christ as well as a portrait of the ideal Christian. In order to experience fully God’s beatitudes, the Christian disciples are called to live intensely the life of Jesus, as one who is poor, lowly, merciful, single-hearted, peaceful, persecuted, sorrowful, hungry and thirsty for holiness.
