Welch “Creation not only exists, it also discharges truth... Wisdom requires a surrender, verging on the mystical, of a person to the glory of existence.” ― Gerhard von Rad Gathering Song Spirit of the Living God Words by Henry H. Tweedy, 1933, Music by Audrey Assad, © 2013 Fortunate Fall Records 4 Welcome Pastor Todd Capen The Church expresses her hospitality to all people. To all who are weary and need rest; to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who feel worthless and wonder if God cares; to all who fail and desire strength; to all who sin and need a Savior; to all who hunger and thirst for righteousness; and to whoever will come—this church opens wide her doors and offers her welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer of Adoration* * - Please stand if you are able 5 Song of Praise* Jesus, Everlasting King Words by Isaac Watts, 1707 Music by Matthew S. Smith © 2003 detuned radio music 6 Scripture Reading* Katherine Franklin Acts 6:8- 7:16 And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen. 10 But they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking. 11 Then they secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council, 13 and they set up false witnesses who said, “This man never ceases to speak words against this holy place and the law, 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses delivered to us.” 15 And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face was like the face of an angel. And the high priest said, “Are these things so?” 2 And Stephen said: “Brothers and fathers, hear me. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran, 3 and said to him, ‘Go out from your land and from your kindred and go into the land that I will show you.’ 4 Then he went out from the land of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran. And after his father died, God removed him from there into this land in which you are now living. 5 Yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot's length, but promised to give it to him as a possession and to his offspring after him, though he had no child. 6 And God spoke to this effect—that his offspring would be sojourners in a land belonging to others, who would enslave them and afflict them four hundred years. 7 ‘But I will judge the nation that they serve,’ said God, ‘and after that they shall come out and worship me in this place.’ 8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs. 9 “And the patriarchs, jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt; but God was with him 10 and rescued him out of all his afflictions and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him ruler over Egypt and over all his household. 11 Now there came a famine throughout all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers could find no food.

  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

  • DARIECK SCOTT 1 the Not-Yet Justice League: Fantasy, Redress and Transatlantic Black History on the Comic
    DARIECK SCOTT 1 The Not-Yet Justice League: Fantasy, Redress and Transatlantic Black History on the Comic Book Page We rarely call anyone a fantasist, and if we do, usually the label is not applied in praise, or even with neutrality, except as a description of authors of genre fiction. My earliest remembered encounter with this uncommon word named something I knew well enough to be ashamed of—a persistent enjoyment of imagining and fantasizing, and of being compelled by representations of the fantastic—and it sent me quietly backpedaling into a closet locked from the inside, from which I’ve only lately emerged: My favorite film critic Pauline Kael’s review of Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar’s Law of Desire (1987), one of my favorite films, declares, “Law of Desire is a homosexual fantasy—AIDS doesn’t exist. But Almodóvar is no dope; he’s a conscious fantasist …”1 Kael’s review is actually in very high praise of Almodóvar, but Kael’s implicit definition of fantasist via the apparently necessary evocation of its opposites and qualifiers— Almodóvar is not a dope, Almodóvar is conscious, presumably unlike garden- variety fantasists—was a strong indication to me that in the view of the culturally, intellectually and politically educated mainstream U.S., of which I not unreasonably took Kael to be a momentary avatar, fantasy foundered somewhere on the icky underside of the good: The work of thinking and acting meaningfully, of political consciousness and activity, even the work of representation, was precisely not what fantasy was or should be. Yet a key element of what still enthralls me about Law of Desire was something sensed but not fully emerged from its chrysalis of feeling into conscious understanding: the work of fantasy.

ABSTRACT FATAL ATTRACTIONS: AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS AND THE AIDS CRISIS June 2015 Sean A. Guynes, B.A., Western Washington University M.A., University of Massachusetts Boston Advisor: Aaron Lecklider, Ph.D. Second Reader: Rachel Rubin, Ph.D. Between 1988 and 1994 American comic books engaged the politics, problematics, and crises of the AIDS epidemic by inserting the virus and its social, cultural, and epidemiological effects on gay men into the four-color fantasies of the superhero genre. As the comic-book industry was undergoing major internal changes that allowed for more mature, adult storylines, creators challenged the Comics Code Authority’s 1954 sanction against the representation of homosexuality to create, for the first time, openly gay characters. Creators’ efforts were driven by a desire to recognize the reality of gay men’s lived experiences, especially crucial in the epidemic time of the AIDS crisis.

Really don't think that it held up to the expectations that I had after the first volume. The old man prophet storyline explains aspects of plot while at the same time generates other unknowns. J G Starbuck. Jun 28, Anthony rated it liked it Shelves: image. Brandon Graham. The fact is that the story is interesting, but could have been better, and that's too bad. A second series, written by Chuck Dixon , premiered in and lasted eight issues. The artwork continues to be surreal and sometimes breathtaking, but the storyline is much more "standard" than volume 1, and I fear, just a little, that it is slipping back toward its superhero roots in the unsubtle and, frankly, silly original Prophet series. Old man Prophet is seeking out past allies to aid him in the coming war. Another pet peeve: we are in the second volume of trades, and there still seems to be an ever-expanding alien vocabulary, Prophet continues to be one of the most ambitious comics being published today. It's in an uncomfortable interstitial space between bold and bland. Frankly, I liked the more diffuse volume, as it felt unlike a "standard" comic book, with a much more complex multivariate narrative that I found surreal and intriguing.
