By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead…” (1 Peter 1:3). It is truly by the grace of Christ’s resurrection that the church lives, and in that “living hope” we fi nd our common calling as members of Christ’s body throughout the world. The Episcopal Church in the United States welcomes the request made in paragraph 135 of the Windsor Report: “We particularly request a contribution from the Episcopal Church (USA) which explains, from within the sources of authority that we as Anglicans have received in scripture, the apostolic tradition and reasoned refl ection, how a person living in a same gender union may be considered eligible to lead the fl ock of Christ.” The Episcopal Church has been seeking to answer this question for nearly 40 years and at the same time has been addressing a more fundamental question, namely: how can the holiness and faithfulness to which God calls us all be made manifest in human intimacy? Though we have not reached a common mind we have come to a place in our discussion such that the clergy and people of a diocese have been able, after prayer and much discernment, to call a man living in a same-sex relationship to be their bishop. As well, a majority of the representatives of the wider church—bishops, clergy and lay persons—have felt guided by the Holy Spirit, again in light of prayer and discernment, to consent to the election and consecration. I have asked a group of theologians to refl ect upon the question posed to the Episcopal Church in the Windsor Report. I am grateful to the following persons who prepared this report. The Rev. Dr. Michael Battle of the Virginia Theological Seminary; the Rev. Dr. Katherine Grieb of the Virginia Theological Seminary; the Rev. Dr. Jay Johnson of the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley; the Rev. Dr. Mark McIntosh of Loyola University Chicago; the Rt. Rev. Catherine Roskam, Bishop Suffragan of New York; Dr. Timothy Sedgwick of the Virginia Theological Seminary; Dr. Kathryn Tanner of the University of Chicago Divinity School. I am grateful as well to Dr. Pamela W. Darling for the preparation of the Appendix which delineates the formal contents of the debate over these last four decades. The fruit of their efforts is set forth on these pages. As this paper is an explanation of how this action could have been taken by faithful people it makes the positive case. It does not attempt to give all sides of an argument or to model a debate. It is important to note that the paper does not attempt to replicate or summarize the conversations that have taken place in the church over nearly 40 years. The Appendix does describe these efforts. The Windsor Report notes that this submission “will have an important contribution to make to the ongoing discussion.” We are grateful for the opportunity to make that contribution and offer this paper in a spirit of humility and in the interest of strengthening our bonds of mutual affection. In the Gospel of John Jesus tells his disciples: “I still have many things to say to you but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth… He will take what is mine and declare it to you” (John 16:12-14). It is my hope that the life we share in the gospel will be guided by the Spirit of truth, who works among us new understandings drawn from the immeasurable riches of Christ who is our Truth. The Most Rev. Frank T. Griswold Presiding Bishop and Primate The Episcopal Church, USA Part I “To Set Our Hope on Christ”: A Response to the Invitation of Windsor Report ¶135 Part I: Introduction [1.0] Greetings from your brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, members of his Body in the Episcopal Church. We give thanks to God, and rejoice with you all, for the immeasurable love of God poured out for us in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. Therefore we entirely desire, in unity with you, “to set our hope

  • FILMS on Palestine-Israel By
    PALESTINE-ISRAEL FILMS ON THE HISTORY of the PALESTINE-ISRAEL CONFLICT compiled with brief introduction and commentary by Rosalyn Baxandall A publication of the Palestine-Israel Working Group of Historians Against the War (HAW) December 2014 www.historiansagainstwar.org Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution – NonCommercial – ShareAlike 1 Introduction This compilation of films that relate to the Palestinian-Israeli struggle was made in July 2014. The films are many and the project is ongoing. Why film? Film is often an extraordinarily effective tool. I found that many students in my classes seemed more visually literate than print literate. Whenever I showed a film, they would remember the minute details, characters names and sub-plots. Films were accessible and immediate. Almost the whole class would participate and debates about the film’s meaning were lively. Film showings also improved attendance at teach-ins. At the Truro, Massachusetts, Library in July 2014, the film Voices Across the Divide was shown to the biggest audiences the library has ever had, even though the Wellfleet Library and several churches had refused to allow the film to be shown. Organizing is also important. When a film is controversial, as many in this pamphlet are, a thorough organizing effort including media coverage will augment the turnout for the film. Many Jewish and Palestinian groups list films in their resources. This pamphlet lists them alphabetically, and then by number under themes and categories; the main listings include summaries, to make the films more accessible and easier to use by activist and academic groups. 2 1. 5 Broken Cameras, 2012.

Courtesy of Kino Film Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/camera-obscura/article-pdf/23/3 (69)/1/400972/CO69_01_Ball.pdf by guest on 30 September 2021 Between a Postcolonial Nation and Fantasies of the Feminine: The Contested Visions of Palestinian Cinema Anna Ball In the relatively youthful field of Palestinian filmmaking, Wedding in Galilee (Urs al-jalil, dir. Michel Khleifi, Palestine/France/Bel- gium, 1987) and Divine Intervention (Yadun ilaheyya, dir. Elia Sulei- man, France/Morocco/Germany/Palestine, 2002) represent sig- nificant contributions to their national cinema at crucial points in its development and in the nation’s history. Khleifi’s work opposed the militant propagandist tone of films produced by the Pales- tine Liberation Organization (PLO) following the Six-Day War of 1967, which saw significant territorial gains by Israel and became known as al-Naksa, the setback or disaster, to Palestinians.1 Wed- ding in Galilee’s unusually lyrical, meditative style drew attention for the way it seemed to capture a profound sense of uncertainty in Palestinian nationhood. Its thoughtful ambivalence, or what might now be read in terms of its status as “accented cinema,”2 made it the first Palestinian feature film to achieve international recognition, gaining the International Critics’ prize at Cannes in Camera Obscura 69, Volume 23, Number 3 doi 10.1215/02705346-2008-006 © 2008 by Camera Obscura Published by Duke University Press 1 Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/camera-obscura/article-pdf/23/3 (69)/1/400972/CO69_01_Ball.pdf by guest on 30 September 2021 2 • Camera Obscura 1987.

Employing Arjun Appardurai’s concepts of financescapes, technoscapes, mediascapes, ethnoscapes, and ideoscapes, I analyze the filmic accent of six Palestinian filmmakers: Michel Khleifi, Rashid Masharawi, Ali Nassar, Elia Suleiman, Hany Abu Assad, and Annemarie Jacir.

    A North Wind THE NEW REALISM OF THE FRENCH- WALLOON CINÉMA DU NORD A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY NIELS NIESSEN IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ADVISER: CESARE CASARINO NOVEMBER, 2013 © Niels Niessen, 2013 i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Ideas sometimes come in the middle of the night yet they are never fully one’s own. They are for a very large part the fruits of the places and organizations one works or is supported by, the communities one lives in and traverses, and the people one loves and is loved by. First of all, I would like to acknowledge the support I received from the following institutions: the American Council of Learned Societies, the Huygens Scholarship Program of the Dutch government, the Prins Bernard Cultuurfonds (The Netherlands), and, at the University of Minnesota, the Center for German & European Studies (and its donor Hella Mears), the Graduate School (and the Harold Leonard Memorial Fellowship in Film Study), as well as the Department of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature. As for my home department, I could not have wished for a warmer and more intellectually vibrant community to pursue my graduate studies, and I express my gratitude to all who I have worked with. A special word of thanks to my academic adviser, Cesare Casarino, who has taught me how to read many of the philosophies that, explicitly or implicitly, have shaped my thinking in the following pages, and who has made me see that cinema too is a form of thought.

  • Culture Versus Commerce New Strategies for The
    Culture versus Commerce New Strategies for the Internationalization of Catalan Cinema Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy At the University of Northampton 2016 Maurici Jiménez © Maurici Jiménez, February 2016. This thesis is copyright material and no quotation from it may be published without proper acknowledgement. Abstract This thesis analyses the potential of Catalan cinema to become a national cinema as the current political climate, with a significant part of the population claiming a Catalan state, indicates the relevance of this examination. Catalan cinema is currently considered a regional cinema, however Catalonia has been defined as a nation with its own language and culture, and therefore Catalan cinema may come to reflect this reality. This work also considers the problems and possibilities for Catalan cinema to attain international impact. This thesis analyzes the distinctions between regional, national and international cinemas in the context of world cinemas and of the relationship between cultural identity and the economic demands of the industry. Some regional cinemas can be seen as national because of the cultural and historic social context in which they develop and this gives them the scope to become international in their own right. The thesis analyzes the policies and international agreements developed to protect the domestic industry against the economic imperatives of a global market, particularly in relation to the predominance of Hollywood films in the international film market and the measures — and theoretical approaches upon which they are based — that nation-states and the European Union undertake to protect their film production and to ensure that it reaches their own audiences, but also is distributed internationally.

ABSTRACT THE MARKAN “DIVORCE” PERICOPE: AN EXEGESIS by Carlos C. Camarena Adviser: Robert M. Johnston ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: THE MARKAN "DIVORCE" PERICOPE: AN EXEGESIS Name of researcher: Carlos C. Camarena Name and degree of faculty adviser: Robert M. Johnston, Ph.D. Date completed: April 2012 Problem Jesus pronounced one major saying on the question of "divorce" in the NT for which there are four independent reports: three in the Gospels (Matt 19: 1-9, Mark 10: 1- 12, and Luke 16:18) and one in Paul (1 Cor 7:10-16). The major accounts (Markan and Matthean)' though appearing to be similar, there are significant grammatical and syntactical differences and two vastly different ethnic foci (a Matthean-Jewish focus versus a Markan-Gentile one) so as to each merit independent analysis. Traditionally, however, the Church has mostly relied on the Matthean account to derive its theology on divorce and remarriage, even when Mark's account is widely considered to precede the lTbe Lukan account, though considered by many to be the most primitive, does not provide us with much context for it to warrant exegetical consideration.
