Political Theology: A Redundancy?

Contemporary theologians have lauded Stanley Hauerwas, Ph.D., who was named "America's Best Theologian" by
magazine in 2001, for having articulated "the most coherent and influential political theology in and for the North American context."
"I assume [they] must know what [they] are talking about, but I confess, for me the idea that I am a political theologian will take some getting used to," Hauerwas said at Fordham during his keynote address, "How to (Not) Be a Political Theologian."
His talk concluded the second day of the third
Solon and Marianna Patterson Triennial Conference on Orthodox/Catholic Relations
, which took place June 11 through June 13 at the Rose Hill campus. Sponsored by the
Orthodox Christian Studies Center
, the conference brought international scholars to discuss the compatibility of Christianity and democracy.
The conference marked the 1,700th anniversary since the Roman Emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan, which freed Christians from persecution and inaugurated the complex relationship between church and state. With the advent of modern forms of democracy, the relationship between Christianity and democracy has been ambiguous. Some Christian theologians continue to question whether liberal democracy, with its emphasis on individualism, is compatible with the Christian conception of the human being.
Hauerwas, the Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics at Duke Divinity School, said he has often been accused of being a "sectarian, fideistic tribalist" who works to discourage Christians from engaging in worldly politics. Yet he says nothing could be further from the truth.
"I have always assumed any theology reflects a politics, whether that politics is acknowledged or not," he said. "[But] I resist using the phrase 'political theology' for many of the same reason I try to avoid the phrase 'social ethics.' Ask yourself: what kind of ethic would not be social?"
Generally, theologians have rarely contested that Christians should be politically responsible, especially for the sake of working for social justice. Moreover, some theologians have argued that the human tendency toward sin makes politics necessary in order to limit self-interest and promote the common good. Given these needs, democracy, with its emphasis on equality and justice, has typically been the politics of choice for Christianity.
Despite what critics have said about his so-called political theology, Hauerwas said he agrees that a democratic society is critical for bringing about a virtuous society. Nonetheless, he argues that there is a "deep tension" between this appeal to the common good and liberal political theory.
"I [do not call] into question the presumption that some account of democracy is important for Christians if we were to be politically responsible," he said. "I tried to show how liberalism, particularly in its economic modes, subverted the democratic commitment to sustain a common life necessary to make possible lives of virtue."
This, he said, is because liberal democracies often fail to provide enough protection for the "economic and security interests of their least-advantaged citizens."
Even so, Christians can and must engage the world.
"[I have not] assumed it possible to 'withdraw' from the world, or, even if withdrawal was possible, that it would be a good thing," he said. "In fact, the attempt to distinguish democratic practice from liberal political theory reflects my conviction that Christians could not and should not withdraw from serving their neighbor through political engagement."
Other keynote speakers included the Rev. J. Bryan Hehir, Ph.D., the Parker Gilbert Montgomery Professor of the Practice of Religion and Public Life at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, and Rev. Emmanuel Clapsis, Ph.D., the Archbishop Iakovos Professor of Orthodox Theology at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology.
The conference was co-sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Program of Hellenic Studies at the Richard Stockton School of New Jersey and the Cantonis Chair of Byzantine Studies at Hellenic College and Holy Cross, and was funded by grants received from the Patterson Triennial Conference Endowed Fund, the Archbishop Demetrios Chair in Orthodox Theology and Culture at Fordham University, the Kallinikeion Foundation, The Virginia H. Farah Foundation, and members of the Orthodox Christian Studies Center Advisory Council.
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools.

"To Age Is A Privilege"
I stopped Joyce on the Upper West Side and asked her to share some of her style secrets.Joyce had some great advice, she said,"Style is about the right jewelry, the right know-how,the right neckline, and above all the right attitude." I think its important to share the ages of my subjects whenever possible, so I asked Joyce if she minded telling me how old she is. She replied, "Of course not. To age is a privilege, I am 79 years old."

How true is that?? We worry so much about "getting old" that we don't stop to appreciate how lucky we are to have that privilege. There are many who don't get to grow old, and we should be thankful for the opportunity. Thanks for the excellent reminder!

I love how so many of the ladies you photograph do their makeup! You can tell they spend a fair bit time on it each day, and choose their products carefully. The way you photograph them tends to indicate that you, too, are impressed by their skills -- many of which come with age and experience!

What a lovely, elegant woman.
I remember having a similar conversation with my cardiologist one time. We were talking about aging, and he said a bit ruefully, "We all get old."
I added, "If we're lucky."
He smiled. :-) He's got 25 years on me easy, and he smiled!

I couldn't agree more with Joyce. Having lost so many dear to me, who never lived to be "old", I am grateful for each birthday.

Age is just a number. You're only as old as you believe you are and never let others discourage you

Eeek Vee! It takes courage to have face lifts and maybe Joyce likes to look how she feels. I do. I think Joyce is beautiful and don't care what work she has committed herself to; it is a privilege to admire her and I like her spirit.

To learn the basics of figure drawing or just to have "standing around," a manikin is a useful reference tool. These accurately proportioned figures adjust to assume most human positions. Each one has its own stand.
These manikins are manufactured by hand. This means each figure will have unique characteristics that may include, but are not limited to, scratches, cracks, and tooling marks.
Figures are made of unfinished hardwood.

Summary:Last night, two pary-hearty Dudes had an unbelievably sweet time. Too bad they can't remember a thing, including where they parked their car. All they know is there's a year's supply of pudding in the fridge, and their girlfriends are ticked at them for trashing their house and forgetting their anniversary. To make up with the girls, the Dudes have to find the anniversary gifts they bought for the occasion. But it won't be easy--the goodies are in their car. So, the Dudes embark on a mission: retrace their steps to find out what they did last night (and who they did it to), hoping it will lead them to the missing car. Little do the Dudes know, they're in for the ride of their lives.

Comments On Jan 09, 2009:This is a great mask. The upper portion is a thin lycra moisture-wicking material, perfect for under the helmet. It is not obtrusive at all. The lower portion is a soft fleece. It isn't noted here but it is a dual-layered bottom portion, extra thick fleece, for that extra warmth. Even when not wearing a helmet it still is very good at keeping warmth in.
I wore this under my helmet on a trail ride I went on the 2nd of January (sub 20 degrees where I was) and I guarantee I wouldn't have been able to last without it.

Preventing Falls
Topic Overview
Every year, thousands of older adults fall and hurt themselves. Falls are one of the main causes of injury and loss of independence in people ages 65 and older.
There are many reasons older people fall. They may lose their footing when stepping off a street curb. Or they may fall after getting dizzy from taking medicines. Some falls may be related to the effects of aging, such as muscle weakness or delayed reflexes. Or falls may be related to the results of a stroke.
Experts agree that some falls in older adults can be prevented. But since each person's risks are a bit different, talk to your doctor about which of the tips below might help you.
Take care of yourself
- Keep your bones strong. Talk to your doctor to be sure you are getting enough vitamin D and calcium.
- Have your vision and hearing checked each year or anytime you notice a change. If you have trouble seeing and hearing, you might not be able to avoid objects that make you lose your balance.
- Call your doctor if you have calluses or corns on your feet that need to be removed or if you have sores that are not healing. If you wear loose-fitting shoes because of foot problems, you can lose your balance and fall.
- If you tend to feel lightheaded when you stand up quickly, take the time to get up slowly from your bed or chair. When you wake up, it may help to sit up first and count slowly to 10 before you try to stand up. And after you stand up, stay still for a few seconds before you move.
- If you are very weak or dizzy, don't try to walk around. Instead, see your doctor as soon as possible.
- Call your doctor if you are dizzy and lose your balance. You may have a health problem that needs treatment, such as a blood pressure or inner ear problem. Or you may be having a side effect from a medicine that you take.
- Be sure you are drinking enough water, especially if the weather is hot.
Take extra care if you live alone
- If you live alone, think about wearing an alarm device that will bring help in case you fall and can't get up. Or carry a cordless or cell phone with you from room to room. Then you can quickly call for help if you need it.
- Set up a plan to make contact once a day with a family member or friend. Have one person who knows where you are.
- Learn how to get up from a fall. Try this when you have someone with you. If you can get up alone, practice this often enough to feel comfortable. If you can't get up by yourself, see a physical therapist for help.
Learn ways to keep your balance
- Learn to do a few exercises for strength and balance. Practicing these each day can help you stay active and independent.
- Wear low-heeled shoes that fit well and give your feet good support. Use footwear with nonskid soles. Repair or replace worn heels and soles.
- If you use a walker or cane, make sure it is fitted to you. Put rubber tips on it.
- If you have pets, keep them in one place at night. Train your pets not to jump or get underfoot. Think about buying a collar with a bell for your pet so you will know when your pet is nearby.
Learn about your medicines
- Know the side effects of the medicines that you take. Ask your doctor if the medicines you take can affect your balance. For instance, sleeping pills and some medicines for anxiety can affect your balance.
- If you take two or more medicines, talk to your doctor about how they work together. Sometimes combinations of medicines can cause dizziness or sleepiness. Either of these can lead to a fall.
Make your home safer
- Remove or fix things you could trip over, such as raised doorway thresholds, throw rugs, or loose carpet.
- Keep paths clear of electrical cords and clutter.
- Use nonskid floor wax, and wipe up spills right away.
- Keep your house well lit. Use night-lights (or keep the overhead light on at night) in hallways and bathrooms.
- Put sturdy handrails on stairways. Make sure you have a light at the top and bottom of the stairs.
- Store things on lower shelves so you don't have to climb or reach high.
- Keep a phone and a flashlight by your bed. Check the flashlight batteries often to make sure they still work.
For a complete list of hazards to look for and fix at home, see this checklist for preventing falls(What is a PDF document?).
Stay safe while bathing
- Install grab handles and nonskid mats in the tub and shower.
- Use a shower chair or bath bench. You can also try using a hand-held shower head.
- Get into a tub or shower by putting the weaker leg in first. Get out of a tub or shower with your strong side first.
Prevent outdoor falls
- When you go outdoors, keep your hands free by using a shoulder bag, a fanny pack, or a backpack.
- If you wear bifocal or trifocal glasses, you may have problems as you step off curbs or climb stairs. See about getting glasses with a single prescription that you can wear when you walk.
- Find out about 24-hour drugstores and grocery stores near you that can take orders over the telephone and make deliveries to your home. Use these services, especially when the weather is bad.
- If you live in an area that gets snow and ice in the winter, have a family member or friend sprinkle salt or sand on slippery steps and sidewalks.

Puerto Vallarta, MX (Sports Network) - A jumper by Nick Russell with 10
seconds remaining proved to be the difference as the SMU Mustangs slipped by
Missouri State, 62-61, in the third-place game of the Hoops for Hope Classic
at the Puerto Vallarta Convention Center.
Russell finished the contest with a game-high 25 points on 9-of-15 shooting
from the floor for the Mustangs (6-1) in the victory. The other double-digit
scorer for SMU was Jalen Jones who tallied 17 points, to go along with his
team-high seven rebounds as well.
The Bears (2-4) were paced by Anthony Downing who accounted for 20 points and
a game-high eight rebounds, while Marcus Marshall chipped in 18 points as he
made 4-of-9 shots behind the three-point line.
Missouri State opened with a 9-0 run and led for much of the first half, until
the final minutes when SMU put together a 10-3 run of its own to move out to a
26-24 advantage at the break. The Bears ended up shooting just 33.3 percent
from the floor over the first 20 minutes of action.
The lead for the Mustangs ballooned to nine points in the second half, but
down the stretch it was a three-pointer by Marshall with 17 seconds remaining
that put Missouri State ahead by a point, 61-60. After a timeout, Shawn
Williams found Russell who knocked down what proved to be the game-winning
SMU shot only 1-of-6 beyond the arc in the meeting, but the squad took
advantage of 37 trips to the free-throw line, compared to just 10 for the
Bears, outscoring Missouri State by a 23-7 margin at the charity stripe.

Maine's top court says the trial judge should rule whether to move forward with the case against a key figure in a prostitution scandal centered at a Zumba dance studio.
ALFRED, Maine (AP) _ Jury selection came to a stop Friday after the judge dismissed 46 of 59 counts and prosecutors appealed.
On Monday, the state Supreme Court said Justice Nancy Mills is in the best position to decide whether to proceed on the remaining 13 counts against Mark Strong Sr. while that appeal is pending.
The dismissed counts deal with violation of privacy of prostitution clients allegedly videotaped without their knowledge.
Mills had agreed with the defense that people engaging in a criminal act forfeit the right to privacy.

May 5, 2016
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia Power executives say they will ask state regulators for approval to shut down some operations across the state, including some coal-fired generating units.
Company officials said in a statement Monday they will request approval from the Georgia Public Service Commission to decertify and retire the 15 units.
The company said several factors, including economic conditions and the cost to comply with existing and future environmental regulations, contributed to the decision to close the units.
Units that would be decertified are in Putnam, Coweta, Glynn and Chatham counties.
Georgia Power said most of the units are coal-fired generating units. Two units at Plant McManus in Glynn County are oil-fired; and one unit at Plant Kraft in Chatham County is oil- or natural gas-fired.

Not to be confused with Glitch.
The Bug is a small car that appears in nearly all early GTA games up to Grand Theft Auto III, including:
Based largely on the real life Volkswagen Beetle in both name and design, the Bug is depicted in all its appearances as a largely undesirable car, being unattractive in design and performing poorly as a road going vehicle.
In GTA 2 it has a more fictionalized design, being shorter and wider and possessing a grille - meaning it is front-engined.
In GTA 1 and GTA 2, the Bug possesses average cornering helped largely by its below average acceleration and speed, making it a poor vehicle of choice for timed missions and chases. For GTA London 1969, however, the Bug features better performance, with average top speed and acceleration; GTA 2 also improves over the performance of previous Bugs by making the game's Bug more nimble and more responsive in cornering, although its speed is still considerably underwhelming.
Rewards when Crushed or Exported
When exported in good condition GTA 1, the Bug awards the player a base payment of $200 in Liberty City and Vice City, but only $100 in San Andreas. Similarly, the Bug in GTA London may be exported for a base amount of £200 if delivered in mint condition. When crushed in GTA 2, the Bug gives the player a Machine Gun in both districts.
- As seen on a very early screenshot of GTA 3, the Bug was meant to reappear, but didn't even made it to the Beta version.

(SportsNetwork.com) - Dwight Howard will get another chance at his former team
Wednesday night when the struggling Los Angeles Lakers visit the Toyota Center
to face the Houston Rockets.
Howard played last season with the Lakers in a drama-filled, success-free
campaign. He elected not to re-sign with LA in the offseason and headed south
to Houston.
Wednesday will mark the second time Howard's Rockets tangle with the Lakers,
who are without future Hall of Famers Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash. Los Angeles
topped Houston by one in Houston on Nov. 7.
The Rockets snapped a two-game losing streak on Friday with a 102-100 home win
over the New York Knicks.
Aaron Brooks made two free throws with 17 seconds remaining. James Harden
poured in 37 points to lead Houston but Brooks scored the last two. His foul
shots came after Knicks guard J.R. Smith missed a 3-pointer he took with the
score tied and despite the shot clock being turned off.
Chandler Parsons had 17 points, Howard scored 15 and Jeremy Lin added 14 for
the Rockets, who rallied from an eight-point deficit after three quarters.
"It's a huge sigh of relief. We found a way," said Harden.
Parsons banged knees with Terrence Jones against the Knicks and didn't
practice on Tuesday. He will be a game-time decision Wednesday as will Greg
Smith, who's only played nine games due to a knee issue.
The Lakers head to Houston in shambles. They've lost two in a row, eight of
nine and have held two opponents under 100 points in their last nine contests.
On Tuesday, the Lakers started their three-game road trip with a 110-97 loss
in Dallas to the Mavericks.
Jodie Meeks had a team-high 24 points for the Lakers, followed by Kendall
Marshall, who finished with 18 points and six assists. Pau Gasol tallied a
double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds in defeat.
It's been a difficult season for the Lakers. Bryant missed time, returned for
not even two weeks and went back down. Nash can't get healthy. Gasol sounds
unhappy and Steve Blake, Jordan Farmar and Xavier Henry are all shelved.
"We have to get this team healthy," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said of how the
team can turn it around. "We have to get some guys back and some bodies back.
These guys are playing hard. They're giving a lot and hanging in there."
The Rockets, who go on the road for four straight following Wednesday night,
have won four of the last seven meetings, but the Lakers are 5-4 in their last
nine in Houston.

Detective John White says Denver Police were asked to assist Englewood Police in arresting the man who was wanted for burglary in that jurisdiction.
9NEWS crews on scene recorded video of the suspect breaking out the window of a hotel room and waving a gun in the air at the Budget Host Inn at 27th Avenue and Wyandot Street.
Negotiators had been in contact on and off with the man before police decided to use gas to force him out of the room at around 11:15 p.m. The suspect was arrested at that time without further incident.
The suspect was then handed over to Englewood Police who are investigating his alleged involvement in a burglary on Tuesday. Englewood Police have not returned calls for comment.
Moments after the end of the standoff CDOT reopened the exit ramps from northbound and southbound I-25 to Speer Boulevard. They had been closed for several hours while police tried to negotiate with the suspect.
Some visitors staying at the hotel were asked to evacuate during the situation.
James Gerathy, who is in town from Ohio, said he was told by police it was safe for him to stay in his room during the ordeal but he still decided to leave the hotel.
"I don't want to go home in a body bag, but it's definitely an intense situation out here," Gerathy said.
Initially, it was reported by police that the suspect was barricaded inside the Hampton Inn & Suites nearby.
The incident began shortly before 7:00 p.m. Tuesday evening.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) – Some Supermen took to their bikes at Parkview Field, in downtown Fort Wayne.
It was the Fifth Annual Parkview Cycling Festival, put on by the Men of Steel racing club, on Sunday. The festival features eight different bike races, sanctioned by USA Cycling.
The event was the first major, non-baseball event at the stadium and hundreds of cyclists head back, year after year, to challenge themselves.
Organizers say it's also a great way to show off a bicycle-friendly Summit City.
"Fort Wayne is very cycling friendly. This gives people the opportunity to see the extremes you can do. It's just about riding the trails, it's also going out and riding hard at the same time," said Jim Kruse, Director of Men of Steel Racing.
The festival also offered races for kids, a bike show and swap meet.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A graphic video of a fight at the Augusta Mall over the weekend has been circulating around the Internet. Mall workers and shoppers are now saying they are concerned because this is not an isolated incident.
Marques Brooks goes to the mall a lot, and he said, "I took a look at the video, and I was like, oh man! This is serious stuff. So I reposted it on Facebook and everyone was like oh, my!"
But this isn't the first fight at the mall. Brooks showed us video of a fight he witnessed back in 2011 at the food court.
"They caused like property damage to one of the shops in the food court. It was really crazy," he said.
But Brooks says the video from the most recent fight was even more shocking.
The video has raised many questions about safety at the mall.
"It's very unsafe and there should be more security at the Augusta Mall. I've never seen security there," said Brittany Thomas, who saw the video.
We contacted management who released this statement:
"The safety and security of our shoppers are always our top priority. We have a customized public safety program that entails multiple measures, including a great relationship with the Richmond County Sheriff's Department and a trained security team. We cannot discuss the specifics of our public safety program because by doing so would compromise our efforts."
But, some say they need more security on the weekends.
"Friday night to Saturday night, that's when it gets the worst. Any other time of the week, it's pretty solid," Brooks said.
The Sheriff's Office says they will not pursue this case unless a victim comes forward.
