Towards a Truly Catholic Church: An Ecclesiology for the Third Millennium

Editura: Liturgical Press

Anul aparitiei: 2005

How should we understand church? Is it visible or invisible, one or many, local or universal, hierarchical or congregational in its structure, sacramental or biblical in its expression? Different Christians--whether Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, or Evangelical--tend to approach these foundational questions through the lenses of their own histories and traditions. Some place great weight on the Church's Christological foundations, and thus on history. Others place more emphasis on the dynamic work of the Spirit, with its capacity to introduce the new and the unexpected. Others see an original diversity of ecclesiologies, grounding a contemporary pluralism of confessions. These lenses color not just how Christians see the church today, but also how they imagine it for tomorrow.In Towards a Truly Catholic Church, Thomas Rausch, SJ, draws on these different voices to develop a theology for the church that builds on the work of the Vatican II, is ecumenical in its approach, and envisions the church in the context of globalization. In an increasingly interconnected world, Rausch offers hope that tomorrow's church will be a world church, a communion that reconciles unity in ...

"Par la vertu du sacrement de l'Ordre..., les prètres sont consacrés pour prècher l'Évangile... Participant, à leur niveau de ministère, de la charge de l'unique Médiateur qui est le Christ, ils annoncent à tous le Parole de Dieu." (Lumen Gentium, n 28) - "Les initiatives particulières par lesquelles les prédicateurs de l'Évangile envoyés par l'Église et allant dans le monde entier s'acquittent de la tâche de prècher l'Évangile et d'implanter l'Église parmi les peuples ou les groupes humains qui ne croient pas encore au Christ, sont communément appelées 'missions'. " (Ad Gentes, n 6).La Russie, sous le joug soviétique et son athéisme militant, était bien un territoire de mission; et notre Europe occidentale, n'est-elle pas en train de le devenir ? Voilà qui justifie parfaitement l'action courageuse des Pères Palau et Doudko, là où il leur fut donné de rendre témoignage de leur foi.

Fish Oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids): Facts, Fantasies & Failures

Editura: BLACKSTONE AUDIO BOOKS

Anul aparitiei: 2014

Misinformation and misconceptions dominate the nutritional supplement landscape concerning the scientifically proven benefits omega-3 fish oils. Many books claim fish oil supplements to be "miracles" or "wonder pills." But, such is far from the scientific reality of failed and disappointing studies conducted on so-called fish oil products, even though many such products actually come from plants. All studies presented in my book are well referenced and discussion articles are duly credited. This book is the leader in presenting scientifically accurate data and serves to debunk the sea of lies facing the general public regarding an ocean of so-called fish oil products. Basically, there is "no truth in advertising and "anything goes," because none of these products are government regulated for quality or accuracy of contents and dosage. Sadly, marketers and profiteers will "Tell you anything, to sell you anything." Profit is the muddy waters upon which the fish oil industry bobbles about. There is a serious down side to these potentially harmful fish oil products, especially if taken in excessive amounts. Our most reliable scientific studies have found that fish oil does not reduce ...

Five Short Works of Glauber

Editura: READ BOOKS

Anul aparitiei: 2015

The Consolation of Navigators, Tartar from Lees of Wine (also called The Work of Tartar), and Book of Fires were written by Johann Glauber in the 17th Century. I have combined them into this one book because they are each very short. Also included are Glauber's "A Short Book of Dialogues" and "Novum Lumen Chymicum." Christopher Packe provided the English translation from the High Dutch. The English edition was published in London in 1689, and from it this work was extracted. Glauber's works are voluminous, consisting of over 2,500 pages of text. This part of the complete works of Glauber was restored and added to the R.A.M.S. (Restorers of Alchemical Manuscripts Society) Library by Hans W. Nintzel in 1982 and 1983. https: //ramsalchemy.jimdo.com

Fashioning Diaspora: Beauty, Femininity, and South Asian American Culture

Editura: LUMEN CHRISTIAN PRODUCTS

Anul aparitiei: 2016

In her insightful study, Fashioning Diaspora, Vanita Reddy carefully maps how transnational itineraries of Indian beauty and fashion shape South Asian American cultural identities and racialized belonging from the 1990s to the late-2000s. She observes how diasporic subjects engage with and respond to various encounters with Indian beauty and fashion. One of the first books to consider beauty and fashion as a point of entry into an examination of South Asian diasporic public cultures, Fashioning Diaspora examines a range of literature, visual art, and live performance. Through careful analyses of novels by Bharati Mukherjee and Jhumpa Lahiri, young adult literature, performance art by Shailja Patel, as well as objects of popular culture including an Indian American fashion doll, and beauty and adornment practices, Reddy challenges fashion and beauty as a set of dematerialized, overly commodified cultural practices. She argues instead that beauty and fashion structure South Asian Americans' uneven access to social mobility, capital, and citizenship, and demonstrates their varying capacities to produce social attachments across national, class, racial, gender, and generational ...

The Lumen Seed: Records of a Search in the Australian Desert

Editura: DAYLIGHT BOOKS

Anul aparitiei: 2017

The Lumen Seed sensitively depicts a cultural dialogue taking place before a backdrop of offenses against the Australian continent, as well as a history of systematic discrimination against indigenous peoples on the part of the country's white population. The images, created by Australia-based artist Judith Crispin in close consultation with indigenous people, document an attempt by the Warlpiri group to share sacred information with white people; the poems convey the artist's interpretation of those ideas, alongside her development of personal relationships with community elders. Judith Crispin returned to Australia in 2011 after living and working in Germany for several years. Since that time she has driven the 8000km round trip from her home in Canberra to the remote community of Lajamanu many times and established a close relationship with the Warlpiri community there. Crispin has a background in music composition, poetry and photography.

Lumen

Editura: BLOODAXE BOOKS

Anul aparitiei: 2020

How might poetry help us articulate the body in illness, in work, and in love? Tiffany Atkinson's fourth collection includes the prize-winning sequence 'Dolorimeter', which takes fragments of speech and found text from a hospital residency to pay homage to the inventiveness and humour of patients and staff in a series of meditations on the notion that pain resists language. Away from the wards, other poems consider the strangeness of the workplace and the embarrassing incursions of desire into everyday life, celebrating the ability of poetic language to lay awkwardness and uncertainty alongside unexpected openings and glimpses of revelation. A lumen is a unit of light, but also a channel or an opening inside the body; perhaps, in this collection, it may also serve as a metaphor for the work of the poem itself.
