Excerpt from Irenaeus (ca. 120-202 AD), "Against Heresies"

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 02:45:30 GMT

clipped by: enbar
clipper's remarks: A key excerpt from one of St. Irenaeus's key anti-gnostic writings in which he lays out the doctrine of "recapitulation," i.e., Jesus' reversal and healing of all the accumulated sins of human history.

IRENÆUS

Chapter XVI.—Proofs from the apostolic writings, that Jesus Christ was one and the same, the only begotten Son of God, perfect God and perfect man.

There is therefore, as I have pointed out, one God the Father, and one Christ Jesus, who came by means of the whole dispensational arrangements [connected with Him], and gathered 443 together all things in Himself.³⁵⁹⁸³⁵⁹⁸ Eph. i. 10. But in every respect, too, He is man, the formation of God; and thus He took up man into Himself, the invisible becoming visible, the incomprehensible being made comprehensible, the impassible becoming capable of suffering, and the Word being made man, thus summing up all things in Himself: so that as in super-celestial, spiritual, and invisible things, the Word of God is supreme, so also in things visible and corporeal He might possess the supremacy, and, taking to Himself the pre-eminence, as well as constituting Himself Head of the Church, He might draw all things to Himself at the proper time.

The original Mother's Day (hint: it's not from Hallmark)

clipped by: enbar
clipper's remarks: Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the Battle Hymn of the Republic, was one of the early advocates for a national Mother's Day holiday, as an antiwar organizing effort. Here's her "Mother's Day Proclamation" from 1870.

Women's History

Mother's Day Proclamation - 1870

by Julia Ward Howe

Arise then...women of this day!
Arise, all women who have hearts!
Whether your baptism be of water or of tears!
Say firmly:
"We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies,
Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage,
For caresses and applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We, the women of one country,
Will be too tender of those of another country

To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."

From the voice of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with
Our own. It says: "Disarm! Disarm!
The sword of murder is not the balance of justice."
Blood does not wipe our dishonor,
Nor violence indicate possession.
As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil
At the summons of war,
Let women now leave all that may be left of home
For a great and earnest day of counsel.

Rodeo Glimpses

Wow! Did you get to the MLK rodeo this year at the National Western Stock Show?

If not click on these links highlighting the founder/promoter of the rodeo Lu Vason and Denver Black cowboy Maurice 'Mo Betta' Wade .

Come check out our exhibit of behind the scenes photographs from a previous years Bill Pickett Rodeo in Denver to catch a glimpse of these terrific cowboys!

Thanks to the photographers from the Institute of Art for providing over 40 photographs showing the many facets of this terrific Black rodeo!

Paul W. Stewart

The story begins with Paul W. Stewart's (founder of the Black American West Museum) extraordinary search and discovery of a past not recorded in conventional history books or portrayed in pop culture. His search for the "true colors" of the West has taken him to nearly every corner of the West, gathering personal artifacts, memorabilia, newspapers, legal documents, clothing, letters, photographs, and oral histories.

Review: Steven Waldman's "Founding Faith"

BY JOHN FEA

Founding Faith is unlike any other popular trade book on religion and the founding era. It is actually quite balanced. (In terms of thesis and style, Jon Meacham’s American Gospel is its closest competitor. Meacham organizes his book around the idea of civil religion. Waldman’s focus is on religious freedom). The book presents a clear argument against the Christian America view, but Waldman has no axe to grind. In other words, his study is quite different from books with titles such as Moral Minority, The Godless Constitution, Liars for Jesus, and American Fascists. Neither is it as polemical as Randall Balmer’s Thy Kingdom Come. Founding Faith comes with ringing endorsements from Joseph Ellis, Mark Noll, Bill Bennett, Jim Wallis, Walter Isaacson, and George Stephanopoulos. This is certainly a diverse bunch!

Debating Mark Lilla on secularism: America magazine

Debating 'The Stillborn God'

Is Mark Lilla right about religion?

By Drew Christiansen and Jose V. Casanova | NOVEMBER 26, 2007

Lilla argues that the Enlightenment made a radical break between religion and politics that haunts us till this day. For millennia, there had been a generally accepted pattern of meaning across cultures linking the cosmic order, the political system and the individual soul, in which political order was dictated by revelation. The one exception to that linkage is the modern secular West. There, following the wars of religion, Thomas Hobbes achieved a “Great Separation” by making religion the projection of a fear-filled individual psychology and government the instrument of human desire.

Clip Source: www.americamagazine.org

Dear Drew,

You are absolutely right that Lilla's construction of a "great separation" is based on a misleading contrast between theocratic political theology and secular political philosophy. This is purely an analytical device, which Lilla superimposes upon real history.

Interview with Fritz Eichenberg
Conducted by Robert Brown
At the artist's home in Peace Dale, Rhode Island
May 14 1979 and December 7, 1979

ROBERT BROWN: What do they see in it now, do you think?

FRITZ EICHENBERG: They see what I saw in the beginning: the redemption through suffering. You don't necessarily look for suffering but it's built in. Man is a very fragile being. He does his best to corrupt the environment in which he lives. We have now the problems of pollution and nuclear energy and we have gone through a disastrous war. We lost more than the war. We lost our integrity and our standing in the world to a large degree. Whatever I could do as a kind of conciliator coming from the other side I tried to do. That's one of the reasons why I was picked out to go to the Soviet Union for the State Department, at the time. I met thousands of Russians and shook hands with them. They saw my work and they saw I understood "the Russian soul," as they said.
