  • SERMON: “A L Based on Part V of “East Coker” by T.S. Eliot by Dr. John Tamilio III the First Unitarian Church of St. Louis
    SERMON: “A LIFETIME BURNING IN EVERY MOMENT” Based on Part V of “East Coker” by T.S. Eliot By Dr. John Tamilio III The First Unitarian Church of St. Louis Sunday, September 27, 2015 © 2015, Dr. Tamilio I bring you greetings from the members and friends of the United Church of Christ in Canton, Massachusetts, where I serve as their Pastor, and from my colleagues at Salem State University, Endicott College, and Andover Newton Theological School where I serve as an assistant professor of philosophy, theology, and literature. I also bring words of deepest gratitude from the T.S. Eliot Society for your generosity in hosting the Sunday program that is part of our annual meeting. It is an honor to preach at the spiritual home of the young T.S. Eliot — and that of his father (Henry Ware Eliot) and his grandfather and founder (William Greenleaf Eliot) before him. It is also strange and a bit liberating to be preaching in a Unitarian Universalist Church. It’s a bit of a guilty pleasure, I must confess. As you may know, we in the United Church of Christ (the UCC) are often referred to as “Unitarians Considering Christ.” This is much better than the name that inevitably arises when someone misspells the word “united” and we become “The Untied Church of Christ.” While my theology is a bit more “traditional” than most UCC pastors, my deep affinity for anything Eliot makes us sisters and brothers of a different mother. In my tradition, the “readings” for worship always come from Scripture: the Hebrew Bible as well as the New Testament.

  • An Invitation to Apply for the Position of CHANCELLOR THE
    Washington University in St. Louis Search for a Chancellor Page 1 An invitation to apply for the position of CHANCELLOR THE SEARCH Over the last generation, a few American universities have emerged as increasingly eminent and prosperous, attracting ever more academically successful student bodies and more distinguished faculties. Washington University in St. Louis, a great, private and constantly advancing university, seeks an exceptional leader to serve as its next Chancellor. The University has been guided by two remarkable and consistent Chancellors, over a combined tenure of 46 years. Washington University has emerged, over this time, from a commuter university with a great medical school to become one of the most competitive universities in the nation, increasingly distinguished and prosperous, attracting one of the strongest student bodies in the nation and luring excellent faculty to its ranks. Washington University educated 15,155 full-time students in FY2017, divided almost equally between undergraduate and graduate/professional students. The average SAT score for the entering first year class was 1510. The FY2018 operating budget totals $3.2 billion with revenues up 5% from the previous year. As of June 30, 2017, the market value of the University’s endowment was $7.2 billion, a number that has risen steadily with successful capital campaigns and investments. The current capital campaign had an original target of $2.2 billion, which the University raised to $2.5 billion later in the campaign. The campaign has already exceeded its new capital campaign target with six months to go and with strong prospects still in serious discussions with the leadership.

  • EIIRJ) ISSN 2277-8721 Bi-Monthlyelectronic Reviewed Journal July/Aug 2012
    Electronic International Interdisciplinary Research Journal (EIIRJ) ISSN 2277-8721 Bi-monthlyElectronic Reviewed Journal July/Aug 2012 T.S. ELIOT: INDIAN INFLUENCES AND HIS FAITH Dr. Asha F. Solomon Dept. of English Montfort College, Lucknow Abstract Thomas Sterns Eliot was an American by birth, but an Englishman by adoption. He grew to become a naturalized British citizen. Eliot's interest in Indian thought came largely through the influence of his teachers at Harvard. The most important influence in Eliot's Harvard days seems to have been Irving Babbitt whose system of thought was based upon the study of the Pali manuscripts, the earliest authentic Buddhist documents. In The Waste Land there are two well-known examples of Hindu influence both coming at the end of the poem in the section entitled "What the Thunder Said." At the very end we find the triple use of the word ‘shanti’ which is both Vedic in origin and Upanishad in content. It pacifies all sorts of anguish, anxiousness, hesitation, doubt of our head and makes us calm. The Christian scheme seemed the only possible scheme which found a place for values which he had to maintain or perish. , the belief, for instance, in holy living and holy dying, in sanctity, chastity, humility, austerity. He expressed the discovery of a faith that would last. He felt that modern life was rife with futility and anarchy. It was his interest in the institution of society that led him to see the importance of communal worship, and the significance of religious practice for all nations, as well as for individual souls.

ELIOT: A REVIEW OF THE LIFE AND POETRY OF THE GROUND-BREAKING MODERNIST POET Abdul Rashid Dar Taught as an Assistant Professor, Department of English (Contractual), Central University of Kashmir, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India Received: 13 Jun 2018 Accepted: 18 Jun 2018 Published: 23 Jun 2018 ABSTRACT Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1965), was an American who made England his home and left behind him a wealth of influential literary works in prose, poetry, and drama. He came under the sway of contemporary European trends of art and literature and became one of the influential leaders of the modernist movement in poetry. He was a profound scholar and thinker, a product of diverse influences- literary, anthropological and philosophical. The literary influences of Elizabethan dramatists, English metaphysical, French symbolists and imagists are paramount in his poetry. As he had deeply studied the French imagist and symbolist poets, he gave imagism a dialect as well as a symbolist dimension and a tone of intellectual irony. His poetry marks a complete break from the nineteenth-century tradition. Reacting against subjectivism of romantic theory, he advocated his famous theory of impersonality of poetry. He demanded an objective authority of art and appreciated the order and completeness of classical poetry, the qualities which he tried to achieve in his own practice as a poet. His philosophy grew from continuous meditation through which he blossomed into a spiritualist.
