DD, State Chairman and Council Reports
WASHINGTON STATE COUNCIL VIRTUAL CONVENTION CHAIRMEN & COUNCIL REPORTS 118TH STATE CONVENTION MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR THOMAS WILLIAMS, STATE ADVOCATE MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR My Brothers, Wow, what a year! It reminds me of the opening line of Charles Dickens’ novel “A Tale of Two Cities” - - it was the best of times, it was the worst of times . Certainly, it takes some pondering on how it could have been the best of times, right? I do think that this pandemic time has reminded us of how important God, Church, family and health are to us. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and we sure missed out on a lot of things. I hope that we all have a renewed sense of what is truly important to us and will take that into the post pandemic world. Membership numbers? Clearly, that falls squarely into the worst of times. We have really struggled this year as the pandemic restrictions took away many of our most productive ways of recruiting new members. Without in person programs and personal contact, recruiting new members has become much more difficult. With two months left in the fraternal year, we have recruited 255 new members, less than half of our membership goals. We are positive for Net Membership with 44 net members, a little less than 20% of goals. Most of our new members have joined through online membership, which is a blessing. I am starting to see signs that things are loosening up, I was able to man a membership table at the Iron Sharpens Iron Conference held at St. Brendan in Bothell, the first time in more than a year that I was able to attend such an event in person. -
Tradition and the Traditions of African American Catholicism
Theological Studies 61 (2000) TRADITION AND THE TRADITIONS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CATHOLICISM M. SHAWN COPELAND [The author takes as her point of departure Black Catholic appro- priation of the Tradition in the anticipatroy theological reflection of the Black Catholic Congress held in 1893. She then interprets the retrieval of African cultural retensions through the lens of popular religion. In her final section she identifies the Black Catholic subject of Tradition.] O SPEAK ABOUT TRADITION and the traditions of African American T Catholicism is not without contention.1 Almost from the beginning, indeed, even now, the faith praxis of African American Catholics has been met with arrogance and suspicion. These reactions stem chiefly from the notion that African American Christianity is restricted to, if not identical with, a certain form of Protestantism. This misconception has been ab- sorbed not only into our religious, cultural, and social commonsense, but has been formalized in scholarship, that is, in the prevailing American religious and social historiography. On the one hand, authoritative voices among Catholic historians, sociologists, and theologians treat the notion of the immigrant church as the primary interpretative paradigm for Catholic M.

Her areas of specialization include theological and philosophical anthropology, political theology, and theological method.

Music in the Heart of Manila: Quiapo from the Colonial Period to Contemporary Times: Tradition, Change, Continuity Ma
Music in The Heart of Manila: Quiapo from the Colonial Period to Contemporary Times: Tradition, Change, Continuity Ma. Patricia Brillantes-Silvestre A brief history of Quiapo Quiapo is a key district of Manila, having as its boundaries the winding Pasig River and the districts of Sta. Cruz, San Miguel and Sampaloc. Its name comes from a floating water lily specie called kiyapo (Pistia stratiotes), with thick, light-green leaves, similar to a tiny, open cabbage. Pre-1800 maps of Manila show Quiapo as originally a cluster of islands with swampy lands and shallow waters (Andrade 2006, 40 in Zialcita), the perfect breeding place for the plant that gave its name to the district. Quiapo’s recorded history began in 1578 with the arrival of the Franciscans who established their main missionary headquarters in nearby Sta. Ana (Andrade 42), taking Quiapo, then a poor fishing village, into its sheepfold. They founded Quiapo Church and declared its parish as that of St. John the Baptist. The Jesuits arrived in 1581, and the discalced Augustinians in 1622 founded a chapel in honor of San Sebastian, at the site where the present Gothic-style basilica now stands. At about this time there were around 30,000 Chinese living in Manila and its surrounding areas, but the number swiftly increased due to the galleon trade, which brought in Mexican currency in exchange for Chinese silk and other products (Wickberg 1965). The Chinese, noted for their business acumen, had begun to settle in the district when Manila’s business center shifted there in the early 1900s (originally from the Parian/Chinese ghetto beside Intramuros in the 1500s, to Binondo in the 1850s, to Sta.Cruz at the turn of the century). -

The Quiapo Leap: a Kierkegaardian Reading of the Religious Experience of the Black Nazarene Popular Devotion1
KRITIKE VOLUME TEN NUMBER TWO (DECEMBER 2016) 29-43 ARTICLE | On Filipino Identity and Culture The Quiapo Leap: A Kierkegaardian Reading of the Religious Experience of the Black Nazarene Popular Devotion1 Rhochie Avelino E. Matienzo Abstract: In 1521, the Spanish conquistadores brought Christian faith to the Philippine islands. Through centuries, this faith is infused with the indigenous culture of the people paving a way to what is known today as “Filipino popular devotion.” One of the most famous among its rituals is the annual Traslación devotion in honor of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila. In recent decades, there has been a vast measure of literature on this religious phenomenon. However, most of them are either written by social scientists or religious experts and very seldom has it been explored in a philosophical manner. This paper aims to reflect on the religious experience of the Black Nazarene popular devotion in order to provide a philosophical appreciation of this unique Filipino faith, in particular, and to provide an avenue towards a deeper understanding indigenous culture and Christian faith, in general. In meeting this aim, the study invokes Søren Kierkegaard’s existentialism and its discussion on “faith” illustrated in two of his renowned works Fear and Trembling and Concluding Unscientific Postscript. Keywords: Black Nazarene, Traslación, leap of faith, double movement of faith 1 The essay was originally presented at the International Conference for Inter-Religious and Inter-Cultural Dialogue in a Pluralistic World: Philosophical and Theological Perspectives, in Constanta, Romania, held on 1-2 June, 2016. The seminal theories of this work were formulated in “Kierkegaard goes to Quiapo,” in Scientia (June 2014), 43-71. -
TRANSLATING VERNACULAR CULTURE the Case of Ramon Muzones's Shri-Bishaya
Journal of English Studies and Comparative Literature TRANSLATING VERNACULAR CULTURE The Case of Ramon Muzones’s Shri-Bishaya Ma. Cecilia Locsin-Nava Every group of people makes an appeal to the past for its sense of cultural identity and its preferred trajectory for the future. However, the past is never accessible without translation, even within the same language. - K.W. Taylor No body of writing in Western Visayan literature has attracted as much attention, controversy, and translation as Monteclaro’s Maragtas. It was written by Don Pedro Monteclaro, the first municipal president of Miag-ao, Iloilo, local historian, and war hero in a mixture of Kinaray-a and Hiligaynon in 1901 at the end of the Filipino-American war when Ilonggos lost, all too soon, their hard-won independence from Spain to the Americans. However, it did not get published until 1907 in Kadapig sa Banwa (Ally of the Country), a nationalist newspaper in Iloilo city. By then, the zeitgeist of frustrated nationalism was finding expression in a number of nativist movements that sought to “revive and revalue” local language and culture. Significantly, reacting to “the privileging of the imported over the indigenous, English over local languages; writing over orality and linguistic culture over inscriptive culture,” (Ashcroft Griffiths and Tiffin 1983: 64) several advocacy groups were established. The first is Academia Bisaya (1901), established by regional writers and 60 Journal of English Studies and Comparative Literature journalists to promote among others, linguistic purism. Next, the standardization of Hiligaynon orthography and usage was promoted in order to protect it from further distortions introduced by Spanish friars, literary societies or talapuanan. -

THOMASCAMPBELL, TO the Rainbow st. 2 Introductwn. earth is not without a bond with heaven. The Bible tells US that in a fine passage, where the rainbow appeared as a token of Ethis bond, Gen. IX.13: I do set My bow in the cloud and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth. The Greeks also knew, that, however easy-going their gods might be, there was a link between them and mortal men. That link was represented by Homer as the fleet-footed Iris, who with later poets became the personification of the rainbow. A beautiful picture of the Lord in a 12th century English psalter 1 shows that the rainbow also in Christian conception keeps its place as 'a token of a covenant', for Christ, in that picture, is seated on a rain- bow, with His feet nesting on a smaller bow. Thus we Europeans are acquainted with the rainbow as the bond between heaven and earth through both sources of culture which still nourish our civilisation. It hardly needs emphasizing, that each religion has its own view ofthe rainbow. -

Having lived in America some 30 E years now I am familiar with how people celebrate Independence here—they have parades, barbecues and in the evening fireworks. When we left the Philippines years ago fireworks were banned in the country. I don’t know how it is today. It would be wonderful if Filipinos celebrated Independence Day similar to or better than the usual parades, picnics, barbecues and some fireworks. When I was a kid growing up, Independence Day was observed on July 4th, the day when the United States granted the country independence from American rule. The American flag was finally lowered from government building flagpoles and the Philippine flag was hoisted in its stead. From that day until one day in 1962 the country celebrated Independence Day on the same day the United States celebrated its own Independence Day. But on May 12, 1962 then President Diosdado Macapagal issued Presidential Proclamation No. -
Nytårsrejsen Til Filippinerne – 2014
Nytårsrejsen til Filippinerne – 2014. Martins Dagbog Dorte og Michael kørte os til Kastrup, og det lykkedes os at få en opgradering til business class - et gammelt tilgodebevis fra lidt lægearbejde på et Singapore Airlines fly. Vi fik hilst på vore 16 glade gamle rejsevenner ved gaten. Karin fik lov at sidde på business class, mens jeg sad på det sidste sæde i økonomiklassen. Vi fik julemad i flyet - flæskesteg med rødkål efterfulgt af ris á la mande. Serveringen var ganske god, og underholdningen var også fin - jeg så filmen "The Hundred Foot Journey", som handlede om en indisk familie, der åbner en restaurant lige overfor en Michelin-restaurant i en mindre fransk by - meget stemningsfuld og sympatisk. Den var instrueret af Lasse Hallström. Det tog 12 timer at flyve til Singapore, og flyet var helt fuldt. Flytiden mellem Singapore og Manila var 3 timer. Vi havde kun 30 kg bagage med tilsammen (12 kg håndbagage og 18 kg i en indchecket kuffert). Jeg sad ved siden af en australsk student, der skulle hjem til Perth efter et halvt år i Bergen. Hans fly fra Lufthansa var blevet aflyst, så han havde måttet vente 16 timer i Københavns lufthavn uden kompensation. Et fly fra Air Asia på vej mod Singapore forulykkede med 162 personer pga. dårligt vejr. Miriams kuffert var ikke med til Manilla, så der måtte skrives anmeldelse - hun fik 2200 pesos til akutte fornødenheder. Vi vekslede penge som en samlet gruppe for at spare tid og gebyr - en $ var ca. 45 pesos. Vi kom i 3 minibusser ind til Manila Hotel, hvor det tog 1,5 time at checke os ind på 8 værelser. -
