Indianapolis First Friends Meeting embarked on this journey over three years ago. We moved from a hope and dream of a program such as this to a reality with a completed period of study when eleven of our youth were affirmed by our Meeting in June 2015. This ten-month program of study and experience was created for our young people to help them explore their spirituality, discover their identity as Quakers and to inform them of Quaker history, faith and practice. While Quakers do not confirm creeds or statements made for them at baptism, etc, we felt it important that young people be informed and af - firmed in their understanding of who they are as Friends.

  • De Poesía En Evangelio: La Trayectoria Poética De Ernesto Cardenal Frente a La Teología De La Liberación by Will Derusha, Ph
    De poesía en evangelio: la trayectoria poética de Ernesto Cardenal frente a la teología de la liberación By Will Derusha, Ph. D., Assistant Professor, University of North Carolina at Greensboro Tanto el profeta como el poeta buscan a un público con quien compartir su palabra. El profeta habla con la voz de Dios para revelar su presencia y su voluntad. La meta del poeta es crear un lenguaje revelador. Así es que el nicaragüense Ernesto Cardenal- poeta, sacerdote, marxista-nos afirma sin conflicto ni contradicción inherentes: «Creo que cada uno tiene una misión. La mía es la de poeta y la de profeta» (Santidad 21). Cardenal hace de la poesía y la profecía una sola misión, una manera de integrar el arte y el evangelio. La trayectoria de tal misión literaria y religiosa durante los años 1960-1973, período que voy a estudiar en este trabajo, corresponde al desarrollo de la teología de la liberación en la América Latina. La poesía de Cardenal llegó, en efecto, a expresar un mensaje que se hace eco del evangelio de los teólogos de la liberación en América, como Gustavo Gutiérrez, Leonardo y Clodovis Boff y Pedro Casaldáliga. Para los propósitos de este trabajo me voy a concentrar en cuatro obras claves de Cardenal: los libros de poesía Gethsemani, Kv. (1960) y Oración por Marilyn Monroe (1965), y dos poemas extensos, las «Coplas a la muerte de Merton» (1970) y el «Viaje a Nueva York» (1973). Al mismo tiempo, relacionaré las obras con ciertos hitos en la vida de Cardenal y en el desarrollo de la teología de la liberación.

  • VII. Dorothy Day and the Arts
    VII. Dorothy Day and the Arts Dorothy Day was known for her appreciation of the arts. The great Russian writers Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky were early inspirations and models for Day, and the famed American playwright Eugene O’Neill was a personal friend. Day herself was a novelist and playwright, as well as a journalist and activist. She notably recognized, nurtured, and provided a vehicle (through the Catholic Worker newspaper) for the visual talents of Ade Bethune and Fritz Eisenberg. Day’s sacramental vision of the world asserted that God had made it both good and beautiful, and the arts helped to communicate that fundamental truth. Questions to Consider: 1. Dorothy Day was particularly influenced by her reading of the great Russian novelists Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky, whose work is often deeply religious. Can you think of literature that you have read which has influenced your own social consciousness or the direction of your faith commitment? Do you think that literature or art in general can support a sense of vocation or call? If so, what might this say regarding our choices about what we read and how what we consume - in terms of art, media, or ideas - shapes who we are? 2. What is your experience of art in relation to the church? Have you seen art used as a way of reflecting the teaching or ideals of the church? Or have you witnessed a strain between the church and the arts, with involvement in the arts seen as a secular (even sometimes dangerous) endeavor? In your experience, are there certain arts that are more or less welcome or more or less represented in the church? 3.

  • Fernando Cardenal, Nicaraguan Christian Revolutionary– Presente!
    Fernando Cardenal, Nicaraguan Christian Revolutionary– Presente! Fernando Cardenal, the revolutionary Jesuit priest who served as Secretary of Education in the Sandinista government of Nicaragua, died in Managua on February 20 following complications arising from heart surgery. He was 82 years old. Cardenal, joined the Sandinista Front for National Liberation (FSLN) before the Nicaraguan revolution of 1979, having been like his brother the poet Ernesto Cardenal, also a priest, recruited by top Sandinista leaders. Cardenal played a key role in the 1970s, before the revolution, in building the Christian Revolutionary Movement and after the revolution he was the leader and organizer of the National Literacy Campaign. When in 1984 Pope John Paul II insisted that the Cardenal leave the Sandinista government, he refused, writing that he could not believe that God would want him to stop serving the poor. In the early 1990s Cardenal broke with Daniel Ortega’s increasingly authoritarian Sandinista government, returned to the Jesuit order in 1997, and continued his work among the poor. Sandinista Revolutionary At the time Fernando Cardenal joined the Sandinistas, Anastasio Somoza Debayle, a dictator who used torture and murder to maintain his grip on power, ruled Nicaragua, as had his father and brother, with the support of the United States. A few former Communists and admirers of Fidel Castro’s Cuban revolution joined together to create the Sandinista Front for National Liberaton (FSLN) with the goal of creating a guerrilla army and installing a government such as Cuba’s in Nicaragua. The Sandinistas attracted Nicaraguans from all walks of life: workers and peasants, business owners and professionals, and also several Catholic priests.

  • Chávez, Daniel. Nicaragua and the Politics of Utopia. Development and Culture in the Modern State. Nashville, TN: Vanderbilt University Press, 2015
    Chávez, Daniel. Nicaragua and the Politics of Utopia. Development and Culture in the Modern State. Nashville, TN: Vanderbilt University Press, 2015. Print. 363 pp. ________________________________________________ JOSÉ MARÍA MANTERO XAVIER UNIVERSITY The recent work Nicaragua and the Politics of Utopia. Development and Culture in the Modern State by Daniel Chávez offers a timely study of recent Nicaraguan history and the distinct cultural and political manifestations of national utopian projects. As ambitious, grounded, and well-documented as the study is, the work would have benefited from a more Central and Latin American contextualization of utopia, the central theme and theory of the analysis. Essays and poems by Simón Bolívar, José Martí, Pedro Henríquez Ureña, Enrique Rodó, José Carlos Mariátegui, and works such as La raza cósmica (1925) by José Vasconcelos and the poem “Salutación del optimista” from Cantos de vida y esperanza (1905) by Rubén Darío, for example, call for a defense of Latin American identity and for the construction of an America where no one nation was subjugated by another and the influence of the United States in national and international affairs was offset by the strength of a continental consciousness. In all, Nicaragua and the Politics of Utopia. Development and Culture in the Modern State is a valuable contribution to the field of Nicaraguan and Latin American studies that combines the study of lesser-known documents (the inauguration speeches of the Anastasio Somoza García and Violeta Chamorro, for example)

  • Sergio Villena Fiengo1 Espectros De Sandino En La Política Nicaragüense
    Sergio Villena Fiengo1 Espectros de Sandino en la política nicaragüense (una interrogación) Universidad de Costa Rica [email protected] ¿qué es el estar-ahí de un espectro? ¿cuál es el modo de estar de un espectro? Jacques Derrida, Espectros de Marx En su libro Espectros de Marx (1993), escrito como una labor de duelo en plena debacle del universo socialista que emerge luego de la revolución rusa de 1917, el filósofo deconstruccionista francés Jacques Derrida plantea dos preguntas fundamentales sobre la vigencia de la obra de Marx: ¿Qué es el estar-ahí de un espectro? ¿Cuál es el modo de estar de un espectro? Esas interrogantes inspiran este ensayo, el cual está dedicado a reflexionar sobre las maneras en que hacen su aparición los “muertos ilustres” del linaje revolucionario en relación con la historia de una revolución triunfante. Nos preguntamos, de esa manera, cuáles han sido los modos de estar-ahí de los espectros de Augusto César Sandino (Niquinohomo 1894- ¿Larreynaga? 1934) en los diversos momentos de la Revolución nicaragüense, la cual inicia en 1 Agradezco a Irene Agudelo su lectura crítica y sus generosas recomendaciones editoriales, lo cual sin duda contribuyó a mejorar este texto. También expreso mi agradecimiento a Fidel de Rooy, que desde hace años me ha aprovisionado de materiales valiosos y me ha ayudado a acercarme émicamente a la realidad “tan violentamente dulce” (Cortázar) de Nicaragua. Desde luego, las falencias que persisten en este ensayo son de mi total responsabilidad. 1927 con las las luchas antiimperialistas de Sandino en 1927 y –pese a sus avatares– se extiende por nueve décadas hasta el presente.

  • Field : Gunderson
    Vol. 18, Num. 3 (Spring 2021): 311-337 Exchanges / Intercambios Solentiname’s Utopian Legacies and the Contemporary Comunidades Eclesiales del Base (CEBs) Les W. Field and Lara Gunderson University of New Mexico In this article, Lara Gunderson and I will converse textually about the relationship between the historically utopian character of Nicaragua’s Solentiname commune and the contemporary Comunidades Eclesiales del Base (Ecclesiastical Base Communities; CEBs is the Spanish acronym) that she studies and worked with for her dissertation (Gunderson 2018). The article is part of a book that is currently under construction which explores the manifestations of utopia, dystopia, anti-utopia, and other types of futurism which I and several of my current and former students have encountered in our ethnographic research in Nicaragua, Colombia, Palestine, Native North America, and Greenland. The book does not follow a case-study strategy, in which these examples form part of an overall inductive or deductive argument about utopia, dystopia, anti-utopia and other futurisms. While the ethnographic portraits are not random—they follow the genuine interests I, and my students in dialogue with me, have developed—neither are they curated or crafted toward making a particular set of Field and Gunderson 312 arguments. Yet, I hope that in the end certain conclusions may be drawn—that remains to be seen. We acknowledge that there was and still is clearly a very strong utopian socialist character to both Solentiname and the CEBs as Engels configured that notion, i.e., both Solentiname and the CEBs have been intended by its founders and participants to manifest embryonic forms of a new, egalitarian, and contradiction-free society to serve as a model for what Nicaragua could be in the future.

  • Nicaragua Bulletin N. 15 February- March 2020 + Annex Final
    MONITORING THE HUMAN RIGHTS SITUATION IN NICARAGUA BULLETIN N. 15 - FEBRUARY- MARCH 2020 Introduction This bulletin covers the period from 1 February to 31 March 2020 and briefly analyzes main patterns of human rights violations that continued to be monitored in Nicaragua. Issued two years after the eruption of massive demonstrations and the ensuing socio-political crisis in Nicaragua, this bulletin also includes an annex that provides information on the implementation status of the recommendations formulated in the OHCHR report published on 29 August 2018 and in the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights’ report presented to the Human Rights Council (HRC) on 10 September 2019. International response to the socio-political crisis On 27 February, during the 43rd session of the HRC, and pursuant to HRC resolution 40/2,1 the High Commissioner presented a second oral update on the human rights situation in Nicaragua.2 The High Commissioner stated that, human rights violations have continued unabated. Victims' organizations demanding justice, truth and reparation, as well as human rights defenders, journalists, members of the Catholic Church and people released from prison under the Amnesty Law, who were deprived of their liberty in the context of the protests, among others, continue to be subjected to threats and acts of intimidation. She also highlighted the situation of more than 98,000 Nicaraguans who, as of 31 December 2019 had left the country, without basic conditions for a safe return, and of those who have returned and also suffered threats and harassment.3 The High Commissioner stressed that the right of peaceful assembly continues to be systematically denied, as is the right to freedom of expression, especially for people who share news or opinions critical of the Government.

  • Erotic Spatiality and the Agora in Ernesto Cardenal's Epigramas
    Vol. 12, No. 2, Winter 2015, 377-400 Love’s Sanctuaries: Erotic Spatiality and the Agora in Ernesto Cardenal’s Epigramas. Barbara Fraser-Valencia Independent Scholar Ernesto Cardenal, the Nicaraguan poet-priest known for his support of the Sandinista revolution and his Spartan aesthetic exteriorismo, began his literary career writing love poetry. Prior to his religious calling, Cardenal experimented with an erotic lyricism that would continue to inflect both his political and religious verse afterward. Yet this side of Cardenal remains underexamined by literary critics, particularly those interested in the social dimension of his writing. The view, clearly articulated by Yvette Aparicio and others1, is that the poet’s early erotic verse, particularly the 1957 work Epigramas, is too beholden to the poet’s 1 Aparicio’s online article cites two similar perspectives held by Ariel Dorfman and Santiago Daydí-Tolson. Daydí-Tolson for example, states: “Es evidente que el lector propuesto por el texto está limitado por coordenadas de cultura y clase económica que coinciden con la imagen que Cardenal tenía entonces de su público, como lo confirman el dato biográfico y la intención política de la colección.” (21). Ariel Dorfman, in 1974, would impugn the poems for their accessibility to a reactionary, bourgeois audience: “Sin comulgar con su posición política, se puede leer epigramas cómodamente en un sillón mientras la dictadura nicaragüense espera la ocasión (como el terremoto del año 1972) para liquidar al autor de los epigramas” (“Todo el poder” 194). Dorfman would later shift to a more nuanced position ten years later in his close reading of the epigrams published in the collection Hacia la liberación del lector latinoamericano.

Introducción El 19 de julio de 1979 marca el día culminante del triunfo de la revolución sandinista, el día en que se liberó Nicaragua de más de cuarenta años bajo la dictadura dinástica somocista y otras previas décadas de intervención militar directa estadounidense. Lo que destaca de esta revolución fue la naturaleza prolongada de la lucha por individuos y organizaciones de masa para derrocar al enemigo común. La plena participación de estudiantes, mujeres, trabajadores industriales y agrícolas, y numerosas comunidades cristianas de base, todos ellos liderados en los últimos años por el Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (el FSLN o simplemente el Frente) resultó en la victoria. El pueblo luchó con las armas, la ideología y también con la poesía.
