ST. MARY’S BLESSINGS PAGE 2 A little bit about Fr. Brian, our new pastor! I grew up in Camp Hill the youngest of three children, graduating from Cedar Fr. Brian Cliff High School in 2003. Volley ball, soccer, baseball and swimming took up with his Shelter the vast majority of my free time growing up. Even my jobs as a soccer and Buddy who beach volleyball referee revolved around sports. During my freshman year of wanted to high School I took a risk and joined my high school youth group at the invitation show of Fr. Michael Letteer. It was one of the best decisions I made during high everyone that he school. I met some of my best friends and began to develop a very real indeed had relationship with God. It made me want to become a part of the Newman a pair of Center in college where I eventually discerned a call to seminary with the help Batman of Fr. LaVoie. pajamas! College ministry these past four years was very much relational. I had the opportunity to meet one-on-one with students regularly and run small group Bible Studies each week. People generally don't come to Jesus because of some great program or DVD series, but they do when someone who loves Jesus journeys with them, and they are invited to become part of a genuine community of believers. Parish life will definitely be different as I provide for the sacramental and spiritual needs of many more. I hope you know the power of God's grace within you to lead others to Jesus. Welcome back to St. Mary’s, Fr. Pistone! This Summer has felt like a revolving door in the rectory with Fr. Leo leaving and Fr. Brian and Fr. Pistone moving in. Except for a box or two, Fr. Pistone is finally moved in. With the help of a few friends he managed to just about cover the walls of his suite with photos of family, friends and certificates of his accomplishments throughout his forty-six years of priestly life. While he was pastor at St. Mary’s, his photo often graced the pages of the Lancaster New Era as well as the Catholic Witness. He felt by doing so, he was advertising this historic church and encouraging others to be part of this great community. Father’s favorite Gospel is the Prodigal Son, so one would imagine that his favorite painting, which he has hanging in his hallway would be Rembrandt’s Prodigal Son, along with the book by the same name by Henri Nouwen. So, what’s it like for him to be back at St. Mary’s after being away for 17 years? He says it’s heartwarming to look out and recognize all the people he baptized, married and those to whom he gave First Communion. To live in the very rooms that Fr. Gralinski lived and died in gives him special joy, since he loved the priestly man and listened to so many of his jokes. We pray he lives a long full life here; we are blessed to have him return. Congratulations Fr. Josh! Photos courtesy of Chris Heisey Fr. Joshua Weaver, along with Fr. Matthew Cannon, Fr. Samuel Miller and Fr. Andrew St. Hilaire were ordained to the Holy Priesthood on Saturday, June 1, at St. Patrick Cathedral, Harrisburg. Fr. Josh was our transitional deacon for the 2018/2019 school year while he was at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary. He was such a valued part of the staff. His contagious personality drew everyone to him. He helped with our Youth Group, baptized babies, got to preach marvelous homilies and served at Mass. He was so loved that some people stood in line for over an hour Bishop Gainer anoints Joshua Weaver’s hands (left) and our own Fr.

  • Souled out of Rights? – Predicaments in Protecting the Human Spirit in the Age of Neuromarketing Alexander Sieber
    Sieber Life Sciences, Society and Policy (2019) 15:6 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40504-019-0095-4 REVIEW Open Access Souled out of rights? – predicaments in protecting the human spirit in the age of neuromarketing Alexander Sieber Correspondence: AlSieber@hotmail. Abstract com Independent researcher, Brookfield, WI, USA Modern neurotechnologies are rapidly infringing on conventional notions of human dignity and they are challenging what it means to be human. This article is a survey analysis of the future of the digital age, reflecting primarily on the effects of neurotechnology that violate universal human rights to dignity, self-determination, and privacy. In particular, this article focuses on neuromarketing to critically assess potentially negative social ramifications of under-regulated neurotechnological application. Possible solutions are critically evaluated, including the human rights claim to the ‘right to mental privacy’ and the suggestion of a new human right based on spiritual jurisdiction, where the human psyche is a legal space in a substantive legal setting. Keywords: Human dignity, Human rights, Human spirit, Legal theory, Mental privacy, Neuromarketing, Surveillance Introduction Humanity is on the precipice of a technological age that looks poised to irreversibly intrude on the basic human capability of self-determination as well as bodily and mental integrity. Today, technologies exist that can strip the mind of mental privacy. Privacy is a human right protected for all humans under Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), Article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and elaborated on for the benefit of children in Article 16 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), and Article 14 of the International Convention on the Protection of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families for those cited.

  • Hezekiah Walker Azusa the Next Generation
    HEZEKIAH WALKER AZUSA THE NEXT GENERATION In the often-egomaniacal world of music it’s rare to find an iconic artist who is as altruistic as he is talented, but Grammy Award winning choir director and church pastor Hezekiah Walker is such an exception. Over an almost three decades long career, Walker has collaborated with Justin Timberlake, P. Diddy and Whitney Houston; recorded more than a dozen chart-topping albums and become the face of the black Gospel choir with his classic hits “Souled Out,” “Grateful” and “I Need You To Survive.” In speaking of his forthcoming 14th CD, “Azusa The Next Generation,” Walker is philosophically pondering the past generations of believers who influenced his life - like the late Bishop Kenneth Moales (to whom the CD is dedicated) - while also imparting the wisdom of those elders to the next Azusa generation through his music and mentoring. The first Azusa generation was that pioneering multi-racial sect that gathered at a rundown horse stable at 312 Azusa Street in the heart of a Los Angeles ghetto in spring 1906. There one-eyed preacher William J. Seymour kicked off a Pentecostal revival that lingered for almost 10 years and gave birth to a national Pentecostal Movement espousing a holiness lifestyle, speaking in tongues, faith healing and admonitions of an impending Rapture. In a manner, Walker is repackaging this faith that kept him during his adolescence and making it relatable to today’s youth. The seed for this CD had been on Walker’s mind for a while but it really germinated when he was discussing his plans with longtime friend and Grammy Award winner Donald Lawrence, who ended up producing the 10-song set.
