When we first began at the turn of the last decade, we saw a gap for a privately owned, fiercely independent publication not limited to just local news; instead shining a light on everything from arts and culture to business and finance, health and education and daily subjects that affect us all. A monthly digest of intelligent, incisive information across a broad range of subjects. We also delight in our Opinion, Architecture, Astronomy, Chess and other favourites, and focus on The unbiased news which has seen such a severe reduction amongst news providers. We are passionately devoted to print and the written word. We are still a powerful team, proud to have survived the decline of print, and just as dedicated to the idiosyncratic and unique properties of the written word as before. Rather than less, there will be even more content as we cover events, news and Written profiles from our new boroughs. This young year has already been marked with new beginnings and changes; from the climatic to the constitutional and in our March edition, a whole new culture and review section flares into life giving greater service to Literature and the Arts and the written word.

    Polyamory and Holy Union In Metropolitan Community Churches Frances Luella Mayes May 5, 2003 Ecumenical Theological Seminary Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Ministry Degree. Approved: Date: 5 May 2003 ___________________________________________ __________ The Rev. Dr. David Swink, D.Min., Committee Chair ___________________________________________ __________ Dr. Virginia Ramey Mollenkott, Phd., Content Specialist ___________________________________________ __________ Dr. Anneliese Sinnott, Phd., O.P., Faculty Reader ___________________________________________ __________ The Rev. Paul Jaramogi, D.Min., Peer Reader Rev. Frances Mayes, MCC Holy Union All rights reserved. Frances L. Mayes, 2003 ii Rev. Frances Mayes, MCC Holy Union Abstract Metropolitan Community Churches have performed Holy Union commitment ceremonies for same-sex couples since 1969. An ongoing internal dialogue concerns whether to expand the definition to include families with more than two adult partners. This paper summarizes historical definitions of marriage and family, development of sexual theology, and current descriptions of contemporary families of varying compositions. Fourteen interviews were conducted to elicit the stories of non- monogamous MCC families. Portions of the interviews are presented as input into the discussion. iii Rev. Frances Mayes, MCC Holy Union Acknowledgements The author would like to acknowledge the help and support given to her by the dissertation committee: Chairman Rev. Dr. David Swink, Content Specialist Dr. Virginia Ramey Mollenkott, Reader Dr. Anneliese Sinnot, OP, and Peer Reader Rev. Paul Jaramogi, who nurtured this paper’s evolution. Thanks also to the Emmaus Colleague Group who patiently stood with me as my theology and practice changed and developed, and who gestated with me the four mini- project papers that preceded the dissertation.

  • Press Release 8 April 2021
    Press Release 8 April 2021 Porsche announces cockpit line-up for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 8 Hours of Portimão With the experience of 59 Le Mans participations to the highlight of the year Stuttgart. Porsche has secured the support of two endurance aces for the two FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) races in Portimão and Le Mans. In the ca. 515 hp Porsche 911 RSR (#91), Frédéric Makowiecki reinforces the regular WEC drivers Gianmaria Bruni from Italy and Richard Lietz from Austria. The Frenchman has been part of the driver line-up to tackle the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the last three years. In the No. 92 car, Neel Jani from Switzerland and the Frenchman Kévin Estre receive reinforcement from Michael Christensen. The Dane won the GTE-Pro class at Le Mans in 2018 with Estre and Belgium’s Laurens Vanthoor. The experienced trio will also contest round two of the season in Portugal on 13 June. “Between them, these six nominated drivers have a total of 59 Le Mans races under their belts. This experience is invaluable,” explains Pascal Zurlinden, Director Factory Motorsport. Neel Jani won the overall classification of the 24-hour French classic in 2016 at the wheel of the Porsche 919 Hybrid – with Romain Dumas (France) and Marc Lieb (Germany). His five teammates have harvested eight class victories so far with the 911 RSR at the tradition-steeped endurance race at the Sarthe. “There’s absolutely no doubt that we’ll be very well-positioned for the highlight of the year.
