Mr. Speaker, my colleague has raised an important issue. Would it not be a much better scenario if we were actually debating in the House not this bill but legislation that would actually assist aboriginal people with their appalling conditions and actually look at the recent report that just came out that showed us that there is a massive overrepresentation of aboriginal people in our judicial system? We could then look at the systemic discrimination and oppression that takes place.
If we had that kind of debate, we would be doing more to help our judicial system than we will ever do with a bill like this.

Calgary Centre-North
Jim Prentice Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians
Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the citizens of Calgary Centre-North to address criminal justice legislation that I view as extremely important to, in particular, the safety of women and children in my community.
I am astounded to be in the House and hear the NDP in particular talking about this as an issue of cooperation and healthy communities. This bill is directed at punitive measures toward the most dangerous sexual predators in our society. That is what we are talking about. I have no idea what they are talking about at that end of the House with respect to healthy communities. These are individuals who are sexual predators and who are incorrigible and this bill attempts to deal with them in a way that will make our streets safe for women and children.
What in heaven's name the NDP is talking about, I do not know.
I would like to say at the outset that we should all be proud of the work that the Minister of Justice has done with respect to this bill. These are sentencing reforms that are long overdue in our country. Our Minister of Justice has taken the initiative and has brought forward sound legislation that reflects the appropriate balance, and I commend it to the House.
I feel strongly about this legislation. It is necessary because there is a lack of balance in the existing law in Canada, which is not acceptable to the people of Canada as represented by their elected representatives in the House of Commons, as it relates to the sentencing of dangerous offenders.
I think it would be useful for members of that party to realize that the genesis of this legislation is in a decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, the Johnson decision. Frankly, that decision is one of the more controversial decisions in recent times by the Supreme Court of Canada. It reflects a tension between the legislative branch and the judicial branch relative to sentencing provisions.
Now this is not the first time this tension has existed. Previous parliaments attempted to reform the dangerous offender provisions in 1995 and 1997. The Johnson case is a complex case and much has been said about what it may say and what it does not say. However, the way in which that decision has been interpreted by the lower courts is to impose upon the Crown a burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a dangerous sexual predator cannot be successfully managed in the community. That is a burden which is very difficult to overcome and, frankly, some would argue that it is a burden which is impossible to meet.
I think the opposition parties need to be aware, and the NDP in particular, that the consequence of that decision has been a precipitous drop in terms of both dangerous offender applications in our country and also dangerous offender convictions. That is unacceptable.

Mr. Speaker, on this side we know what the opposition parties really mean when they say they will compromise. They mean that they will say one thing during an election and do the opposite in Parliament.
All parties ran campaigns promising to get tough on crime but it seems only this Conservative government is willing to get tough on criminals. The opposition parties want the guy who burned down a person's house to spend his so-called punishment in his house, watching the big screen TV that he stole from the neighbour.
This is the same bunch who will spend taxpayer money to institutionalize our preschool children but are afraid to see car thieves and arsonists behind bars lest we cause them some discomfort.
Every member is entitled to his or her opinion but in the opinion of most Canadians, the regime that gave prisoners the vote, cable TV, Internet access and a union for filing complaints against embattled corrections officers is the regime that has to go.
It is time to scrap the idea that it takes a village to raise a child but the village cannot know there are convicted pedophiles living next door.
Older Workers

2 p.m.
Johanne Deschamps Laurentides—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, a number of regions in Quebec are affected by the crisis in the forestry sector. In less than a month, five forestry companies in my riding have announced that they will be shutting down. Some 2,000 workers have been victims of mass layoffs, not to mention the many indirect jobs that will be lost.
For the past several months the Bloc Québécois has been calling for the implementation of a real income support program for older workers. These victims of mass layoffs aged 55 and older will have a hard time retraining in another field because often they have little education. A financial assistance program to allow them to bridge the gap between the end of their employment insurance benefits and the beginning of their pension, would prevent them from going into poverty.
It is high time that the Minister of Human Resources and Social Development lived up to her responsibilities and announced the implementation of such a program for all industries and for all of Quebec.
Government Programs

Dennis Bevington Western Arctic, NT
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Statistics Canada issued a report saying that the rate of violent victimization in Canada's north is almost three times the rate for residents in the rest of the country.
The government needs to take action to help northerners, action by supporting a better society, but the government does not understand how to make the lives of Canadians better, which is why it cut funding to literacy programs, volunteer groups and the Status of Women.
These programs are not fat to be trimmed. They are part of a foundation for a better society. Rather, the government wants to see more unemployment due to high illiteracy, fractured communities without essential volunteers and women without leadership to protect them. All of this will increase the amount of violence in the north, not decrease it.
Cutting these programs will only increase violence and suffering among northerners. It seems that the Conservative government just does not care.
Juvenile Diabetes

Ron Cannan Kelowna—Lake Country, BC
Mr. Speaker, I just finished meeting with a group of brave children and their families who face the daily struggle against the disease of type 1 juvenile diabetes.
Forty-five children from across the country, including a constituent of mine, beautiful four-year-old Amy Buchanan, are on Parliament Hill today. These children all live with the challenges of this disease.
I would like to honour these children and all the children of Canada, who endure this illness that affects every aspect of their lives, for their courage and their perseverance to not let this disease rob them of their dreams.
What families living with diabetes need is hope; hope for a future without this disease.
I am proud to say that my wife and I recently chaired a fundraising effort in my riding of Kelowna—Lake Country that raised over $80,000 for diabetes research. It is through the generosity of caring Canadians that we will reach our goal to understand and one day beat type 1 juvenile diabetes.
By working together, the mission is possible for a made in Canada cure for diabetes.

Anita Neville Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge the government to continue the work of the previous Liberal administration and implement a cost sharing program to help at-risk targeted communities offset the costs of securing their places of worship and community centres.
The freedom to worship and to attend community, religious and cultural events without fear is a hallmark of being a Canadian.
Unfortunately, we live in a world where safety is not always guaranteed. The threat of terrorism has necessitated certain communities to take steps to ensure the safety of their congregants and participants, often at great financial expense.
Whether it be a synagogue, a church, a gurdwara, a mosque or a cultural centre, it is imperative that the government help with the protection of these institutions. By developing and implementing a security cost sharing program, it will be taking one more important step to doing so.

Larry Miller Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Robert Thomas James "Jim" Mitchell who was killed in the Panjawyi district of Afghanistan on October 3.
His life was taken when he and another soldier were working alongside their fellow comrades to clear mines and improvised explosive devices from a route for a future road construction project.
Corporal Mitchell was a father, a son and a husband who was born and raised in Owen Sound. His parents, Bob and Carol, and his brother Mark still reside there.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to them and to his wife Leanne and their children, five-year-old Cameron, three-year-old Brian and two-year-old Jaelyn.
Remembrance Day is just 11 days away and I encourage everyone across Canada to take the time to attend a Remembrance Day service in their community or to take a few minutes to think about the sacrifices made by our soldiers.
Along with other Canadian military heroes, we will remember and honour the life of Robert Thomas James Mitchell.

Mr. Speaker, on October 23, the Maison de la culture in Gatineau won a Félix award at the ADISQ Autre Gala for the third year in a row.
It all began in 2004 when the arts centre won the Venue of the Year award for its Salle Odyssée. In 2005, it made its mark as an arts presenter. This year it won, for the second time in three years, the title Venue of the Year.
I want to congratulate the entire team at the Maison de la culture and its artistic director in particular, Julie Carrière, for her incredible work.
We are proud of those who, through their dedication, succeed in stimulating culture and making it accessible and lively in Gatineau.
Again, I offer my sincere congratulations to the Maison de la culture in Gatineau and to all those who have contributed in one way or another to its outstanding success.

Mr. Speaker, today I have the privilege of saluting a courageous 11-year-old constituent from Regina, Chloe Rudichuk. Chloe is one of 46 children from across Canada who suffer from juvenile or type 1 diabetes who are in Ottawa today with the Kids for a Cure event.
Chloe will also have the unique honour this afternoon of addressing the Standing Committee on Health. She will tell our committee about the importance of continued research for a cure and the daily struggles of being an 11-year-old girl with type 1 diabetes.
Juvenile diabetes is a serious disease that can lead to devastating health consequences. Chloe needs daily insulin injections to survive.
The exciting news is that Canadian researchers are conducting very promising research that could lead to cure therapies. Chloe will be asking us, as parliamentarians, to support her mission today to find a cure tomorrow.
I am proud to support Chloe in her mission. She is a great ambassador for the children of Saskatchewan and the city of Regina.

Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to join my colleagues in recognizing Family Doctor Week in Canada from October 30 to November 5.
Every day, family doctors make diagnoses, treat patients, promote health and prevent illness, coordinate care and advocate on behalf of their patents.
They provide not only primary care, but also a great deal of secondary and tertiary care in many places: in their offices, in hospitals, in patients' homes, in seniors' homes and in other community facilities.
The College of Family Physicians will be holding its annual family medicine forum this week in Quebec City. Hundreds of participants and presenters will be in attendance.
I would like to personally thank all family doctors, and I invite all of my colleagues to support Family Doctor Week in Canada.

Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I am very proud to recognize the accomplishments of a talented young figure skater from Charny who has made thousands of Quebeckers so proud: 10 year old Laurent Guay.
Last weekend in Gatineau, he won his third gold medal in the 2007 Quebec sectionals. He competed against 20 other boys at the provincial level, setting himself apart with his combination jump, a double loop that earned him a personal best at the provincial level.
As the father of five children, I know how important it is to be present and to recognize our young people's efforts. I strongly support all those who, in pursuit of their dreams, make a considerable effort day after day to achieve their personal goals, big or small.
On behalf of all Quebeckers, I would like to congratulate 10 year old Laurent Guay of Charny once again on his determination and achievement. We wish him continued success.
Veterans Affairs
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am very concerned about how our veterans are being treated in this country.
Since World War I the government determined, without hearings, notification or opportunity to appeal, which veterans had the ability to look after their own finances and which did not. This left many disabled veterans and their families dependent on the government because military pay and other money owed was put into a trust fund.
The Canadian government, for decades, has not honoured its commitments to our veterans by refusing to pay out the interest from the money sitting in these government bank accounts. The government is depriving veterans.
Last year the Ontario Court of Justice ruled that this money is owed to the veterans and their families, and that the government should pay out the $4.6 billion in interest built up over the years. Those who have had to rely on the government for help after serving this country should receive any profits from the investments in their own money.
These are the men and women who selflessly served our country. This is the only fair thing to do.

Today is my last day at the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) meeting in Atlanta. I plan to make my purchases from the various book sellers this morning, having already reconnoitered the exhibits and mapped out my plan of attack.
One thing that has struck me is that there are a number of new books discussing ecumenism and Christian unity from host of different perspectives. On the one hand this shouldn't be surprising. The unity of the church is a constant theme, one that is confessed in the Nicene Creed ("We believe…in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.").
But for a period of time it seemed that ecumenism was in decline. After all, it used to be its own area of theological specialization; there have been (and still are some) professors of ecumenics. On the broader level one thing that breathed life into the ecumenical movement in the last half-century was the founding of what is now known as the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity (I had the pleasure of meeting the pope's representative, Fr. Gregory Fairbanks, at the WCRC Uniting General Council earlier this year in Grand Rapids).
An ENI story notes a recent address from Pope Benedict XVI regarding ecumenism: "Today, some people believe that this journey has lost its impetus, especially in the West," the Vatican Information Service quoted Pope Benedict XVI as saying. "Thus do we see the urgent need to revive ecumenical interest and give a fresh incisiveness to dialogue."
Now this story is in the context of Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican dialogue. But "new energy" needs to be found in the mainline ecumenical movement as well. I outline some of the reasons for the decline of groups like the WCC, LWF, and WCRC in my book, Ecumenical Babel. And as the Vatican celebrates fifty years of institutional ecumenical efforts, we have seen a corresponding decline in vigor in the mainline Protestant groups. Some evidence of this is the consistent outreach and emphasis on engaging "evangelicals" from the WCC, whose new president expressed such sentiments at both the WCRC Uniting General Council and the recently concluded Cape Town 2010 meeting of the Lausanne Movement.
So says Mark Tooley of IRD. "Sadly, over the last 50 years, it (the ecumenical movement) has faded into the sidelines and is now largely ignored," he said. In the 1980s Ernest Lefever, founder of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, observed that "the ecumenical movement's social witness has become obsolescent, marginal, irrelevant, or worse."
I outline some of the things needed to reinvigorate the mainline ecumenical movement in my book. I outline correctives on three main levels: the ecclesiastical, the social ethical, and the economic. But I conclude too that
Without pursuing correctives along these general lines, the answer to Gustafson's challenging question, "Who listens to the moral teachings of Protestant churches?" will continue to be indeterminate, and deservedly so. Without doing the hard work of serious ethical deliberation that engages a variety of conflicting perspectives, the ecumenical movement has little claim to possess authentic moral authority in the public square or among the churches.
After the break you can read the full ENI story on the fiftieth anniversary of the Vatican secretariat (now council) for promoting Christian unity. (more…)

as a Last Name

- people in the U.S. have this name View John on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
English, Welsh, German, etc.: ultimately from the Hebrew personal name yōḥānān 'Jehovah has favored (me with a son)' or 'may Jehovah favor (this child)'.This personal name was adopted into Latin (via Greek) as Johannes, and has enjoyed enormous popularity in Europe throughout the Christian era, being given in honor of St. John the Baptist, precursor of Christ, and of St. John the Evangelist, author of the fourth gospel, as well as others of the nearly one thousand other Christian saints of the name. Some of the principal forms of the personal name in other European languages are Welsh Ieuan, Evan, Siôn, and Ioan; Scottish Ia(i)n; Irish Séan; German Johann, Johannes, Hans; Dutch Jan; French Jean; Italian Giovanni, Gianni, Ianni; Spanish Juan; Portuguese João; Greek Iōannēs (vernacular Yannis); Czech Jan; Russian Ivan. Polish has surnames both from the western Slavic form Jan and from the eastern Slavic form Iwan. There were a number of different forms of the name in Middle English, including Jan(e), a male name (see Jane); Jen (see Jenkin); Jon(e) (see Jones); and Han(n) (see Hann). There were also various Middle English feminine versions of this name (e.g. Joan, Jehan), and some of these were indistinguishable from masculine forms. The distinction on grounds of gender between John and Joan was not firmly established in English until the 17th century. It was even later that Jean and Jane were specialized as specifically feminine names in English; bearers of these surnames and their derivatives are more likely to derive them from a male ancestor than a female. As a surname in the British Isles, John is particularly frequent in Wales, where it is a late formation representing Welsh Siôn rather than the older form Ieuan (which gave rise to the surname Evan). As an American family name this form has absorbed various cognates from continental European languages.

We picked three fantastic recipes from the new How to Feed a Family cookbook to share.
Some of the world�s harshest critics vetted the recipes in Laura Keogh and Ceri Marsh�s new cookbook�their kids. While wading through conflicting information on kids� nutrition, the former fashion magazine journalists created an online forum for parents called Sweet Potato Chronicles. And they started tinkering in their own Toronto kitchens. The result of their capers is How to Feed a Family, with more than 100 recipes that are kitchen-tested, kid-approved, and with a whole new sensibility about what kids should eat and what moms will cook.

What happens when an opportunity to trace an interesting story intersects with the rebroadcast of a popular program? Producer Colleen Scheck tells her story.
The idea of reciting an unchanging creed sounds suspicious to modern ears. But the late, great historian Jaroslav Pelikan illuminated ancient tradition in order to enliven faith in the present and the future. He insisted that strong statements of belief will be necessary if pluralism in the 21st century is to thrive. We take in his moving, provocative perspective on our enduring need for creeds.

Selected Readings
Repeatedly in recent years, members of my family have been urging me to write a full-length autobiography. I have resisted these suggestions. I tried nonetheless to address this proposal when I accepted the invitation to write a "middle-sized book" that "could amount to a kind of autobiography in small bites."
An address presented in 2003 in conjunction with a performance, "Concert of Credo Settings in Honor of Jaroslav Pelikan," performed earlier that day by the Yale Schola Cantorum, the Yale Russian Chorus, and the Hellenic College Schola Cantora of Brookline, Massachusetts.
Used in both the East and the West, the Nicene Creed is a statement of faith that provides the basis for unity among Christians, including Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Calvinist and many other Christians. The creed was established as part of the eucharistic liturgy during the 5th century. In the Eastern church, the creed is also used at baptisms.
The Maasai Creed is a creed composed in about 1960 by Western Christian missionaries for the Maasai, an indigenous African tribe of semi-nomadic people located primarily in Kenya and northern Tanzania. The creed attempts to express the essentials of the Christian faith within the Maasai culture.

Christian Orthodox worshippers hold their heads up as a ray of light comes through a skylight in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem's old city during the 'Holy Fire' ceremony on the eve of the Orthodox Easter. Believers hold that the fire is miraculously sent from heaven to ignite candles held by the Greek Orthodox patriarch in an annual rite dating back to the 4th century that symbolises the resurrection of Jesus.

Share a Reflection
Jaroslav Pelikan and Krista Tippett agree that the Masai Creed is somehow more "authentic" than the Nazi Christian creed, even though they admit they can't explain how. That's because it isn't. If one can believe on faith that Jesus was God, one can likewise believe on faith that he wasn't a Jew. Faith implies a willingness to disregard evidence (as Pelikan clearly displays by asserting that Jesus sacrificed himself intentionally to save the world, despite the clear contrary evidence of his question, "My god, why have you forsaken me?")
It may be objected that the Nazi spirit was clearly different because they committed atrocities in the name of Nazism. But so have Christians, in the name of Christianity. Most Christians haven't, but then neither did most Nazis. Training to believe absurdities is no guarantee that one will commit atrocities, but it helps pave the way.
There is no reality but reality, and the senses are its messengers.
I enjoyed the scholarship and
I enjoyed the scholarship and reflection of Jaroslav Pelikan on the history and meaning of creeds. This long view - both historical and in his own life is instructive and comforting to me. The comments that dismiss his views seem narcissistic as much of modern culture does to me - so I guess that doesn't surprise me. Thank you for bringing his voice to speak in my ears.
Yours is as fitting a comment with which to open the responses to this program, as it would also have been to close them with . Though it is important to note that religious faith goes far beyond implying a willingness to disregard evidence. Flying in the face of reason and disregarding evidence, the contrary, scientific, sort that bludgeons religious faith at every juncture, is its very lifeblood.
As is glaringly displayed in this, as blithely Orwellian as ever, program where the spawning of creeds is desperately massaged into something positive. Where in reality it is merely the balkanization of Bronze Age superstitious supernatural balderdash setting off centuries of internecine bickering. Which in turn brings to mind Sayre's law: "In any dispute the intensity of feeling is inversely proportional to the value of the issues at stake."
As someone who was raised as a Roman Catholic and knows quite well the history of Constantine's conversion to Christianity, I was very offended by your guest speaker's characterization of Constantine as spreading Christianity and white culture "like wildfire" as a sort of gift to the rest of the world. I was also disappointed that Ms. Tippet didn't call him on this misrepresentation and remind him--amidst his fulminations about the greatness of the Nicene Creed--that Constantine spread Christianity by force. The occupants of the places Constantine conquered didn't have the option of continuing to worship their own deities or using their artistic talents to glorify those deities. Please put the comments about Bach's music being "the greatest the world has to offer" in that context.
The program today, Peligan on the need for Creed, is the first time I heard, on SOF, anything positive said about Roman Catholicism and Vatican II. Is the Roman Catholic faith less worthy of your time and examination? Maybe I missed a program or two. Can you list any programs the examine Catholic belief in a positive light.
Dear Krista,
As a Quaker I love mystery and the search for meaning in silence. Creeds are like barriers to listening to God. How can we listen when we are always talking? Why was St Augustine so afraid of silence?
Creeds clearly define the in group and the out groups in the history of the church. The hierarchy absolutely depend on creeds to maintain its power.
I am much more likely to judge a spiritual community by what their piety leads them to do to help transform a world filled with poverty, war and terrorism (both domestic and international). Words are cheap but, as Jesus said, we shall be known by our actions.
Harold Confer
Your guest, Jaroslav Pelican, wasn't precise in his translation of the Apostle John's gospel, "In the beginning was the Word," etc, because there are two words for 'word' in Greek, "ha rhema," the spoken word, and "ho logos," the recorded word. It's not 'ha rhema' which is God, but 'ho logos.' Man wasn't created in the image of this God until about 6,000 years ago when he too began to record the word. I'd translate "ho logos" in John as 'the Code,' because the etymology of 'code' specifies the Latin 'codex' which is what you get when you cut down a tree, slice off the top of the trunk, and then use it as a tablet to engrave writing upon. So it means the same thing 'ho logos' means in Greek.
I appreciate all of the scholarship that Dr. Pelikan contributed on the subject of creeds, but I didn't hear much on the broadcast about the potential power of the creeds to divide people. What of those who find merit in the example that Jesus lived, but ultimately can't come to believe, by faith or otherwise, the virgin birth, the resurrection or any kind of final judgment. In this era of freedom, reason and choice, creeds can drive wedges between faiths that may share common beliefs about the importance of deeds or whose beliefs may be more alike than they are different. Creeds can create fertile ground for that often administered but rarely discussed sacrament; the sacrament of exclusion.
There is nothing wrong with
There is nothing wrong with exclusion. In the end some of us are going to be excluded from God's presence.
A creed is the statement of belief of a group, of you don't believe it then you are not part of that group. Some groups of Christians believe things that are slightly different., most of these differences still keep s believer as the majority of Christians believe. some well then you may not be s Christian, which in America is alright we will let you believe.
Just remember even though God loves all off us, in the end the sheep and the goats will be separated.
I really, really appreciated the interview with Jaroslav Pelikan on this week's program. What a wonderful man: A great scholar with a big heart and a wonderful sense of humor! This was a shot in the arm for a former pastor's husband who has really struggled with his faith over the past couple of years for a variety of reasons. Interestingly, one of the few sources of comfort for me in terms of faith has been Russian liturgical music. Without understanding the words, I have been soothed and elevated by the sacred music of Rachmaninoff and Gretchaninov. I now intend to look into Orthodox Christianity as embraced by Dr. Pelikan.
Thanks so much for this particular program and for your excellent work on Public Radio!
Pelikan was a disappointment. I realize it's now November but this is when I was able to find a quite moment and catch up on SoF. I listened to the uncut version. It came across like Pelikan is just saying words, as if he doesn't mean anything he says. I had to go and listen to Tolle and read Rumi to clean my palate.
I really enjoyed the broadcast which features Jaroslav Pelikan because he reinstated that creeds bring together today's Christians with early followers who first celebrated Christianity. Creeds also affirm our beliefs when we have ups and downs in our life because it clarifies that God and His Son will help us get through the difficult times. There really is a need for creeds because there is a creed that can relate to any walk of life, celebrations and death, and with reciting them we must remember that God is with us day in and day out. Creeds help separate Christianity and any other religion. It is not a simple saying, but while expressing each creed we are stating are devotional belief in God.
Creeds have helped move Christianity into where it is today because it unites its members and gives us all something that we can contribute, as one, to. By stating such phrases as "We believe in one God" we, as a community, continue to strengthen our beliefs as one. I feel that by expressing these creeds we can develop a stronger relationship with God because I feel that each time we express this we are showing complete gratitude to our Creator. Creeds become just as beautiful as music, symbols or any other physical object relating to Christianity because it simply strengths our own beliefs and makes us understand our religion a bit more. Pelikan points out that many Christians in today's world are not comfortable with past creeds, but I feel that we should be priviledged to express our love toward God, I also think that creeds should be continued because of their historical contentt, we will continue to wear crosses or read scriptures and I feel that expressing creeds aloud and together as a community can only strengthen us.
I would like to challenge Christian churches today who have mostly side-lined the matter of healing from their efforts to live as a Christian, appa-rently leaving it up to the medical profession alone to fulfill that task, and in fact making it almost mandatory to do so.
Clearly healing was one of the primary instructions for us to do from Jesus, along with other matters which Christian churches do work mightily to address, like spreading the word of God and giving to the poor.
A young minister in a Protestant church I recently attended asked the youngers in the children's ser-mon what Jesus did for the people when he was a-live. They dutifully described everything except healing and raising the dead!
Why is that no longer a part of Christianity? (Is the Apostle's Creed, which also leaves that out, partly to blame?)
Though creeds, as Pelikan
Though creeds, as Pelikan states, are beneficial for universality of the faith, I personally do not think that having one creed that crosses all time and cultural boundaries has much merit. I think this way because, seeing as a creed is presented in response to clarifying what proper belief looks like, each set of times and cultures may need clarifying in different ways. Also on the same topic, creeds would need to be translated into different languages and, as we have seen in bible translations, some languages may not define the word quite as it was originally understood in the original language. On the other hand, Christianity is the only world religion that has many creeds, so maybe the making of new creeds is not the answer. Although a unified creed for all time and all of the worldwide church would be nice, there are already many creeds and some may not represent the Christian faith as well as others. A creed must be in response to an issue or argument that is against what the church believes to be true, so in order to draw the line in the sand there must be a creed must be in place. To eliminate the vast number of creeds one could reword or retranslate an already constructed creed, but it would be better to write a new one to ensure alinement with what the church also believes and what the Bible states. To farther the importance of the revamping or the recreating of creeds is to answer the question of "who do you say I am?" as Jesus asks over and over again. People though time and culture will always confuse or create hereditary believe by answering Jesus' question without alining it to what the Bible says or what the Church believes. In a way the Church must be proactive in adjusting their creedal statements to avoid possible culturally provoked heretical beliefs. As Pelikan stated "the 'you say' in that question is the culture in which we live". By this statement Pelikan is saying that Jesus' question must be answered again and again by the Church because culture is continuously changing.
Pelikan's views on plurality
Pelikan's views on plurality are wonderful, but it's hard to hear him dismiss Islam as intolerant is difficult for me (...if we are too wait for Muslims to embrace this tolerance, "...we'd better fasten our seatbelts."). There are millions of Muslims worldwide whose ability to reconcile the truth of their beliefs with a respect for the dignity of contrasting beliefs. What limits a person's ability to dignify belief s/he does not share are poverty, lack of education, political oppression and injustice and poor mental health. We have seen many Christian terrorists, and somehow we don't implicate their religion as a factor in their actions. Pelikan may be a great thinker, but he falls down here. On this point he is as myopic as many of his less thoughtful and enlightened coreligionists can be in their lesser moments.
I think you misunderstood his
I think you misunderstood his point. He noted that Islam is not inherently intolerant, citing historical examples of Christians and Jews who were free to confess their faith under Muslim rule. Pelikan's point was that we need to be careful about how we advance arguments in favor of tolerance. If we argue for tolerance because "no one can really be sure he is right", we will alienate committed believers of any tradition. Pelikan's point, using the example of "Dignitatis Humanae", is that there is a more effective argument for tolerance, rooted in the firm belief in the inherent dignity of every person created by God.
Very inspiring radio show
Very inspiring radio show with Krista Tippet today, April 27th.
Here is a poem I wrote
Here is a poem I wrote inspired by today's interview with Jaroslav Pelikan.
"The only alternative to tradition is bad tradition"
-- Jaroslav Pelikan, heard over Krista Tippett's "On Being", WNYC
She learned a love song when she was little
In a language that she hardly knew
O she would sing it as if she wrote it
And she made each word sound true.
One day her lover asked her a question
About the language that she hardly knew
She could not answer, and so she left him
But returned with words she knew.
You'll find that couple singing their love song,
In the language that only they know
But all their children sing like that couple
In a language that they hardly know.
I enjoy listening to Ms.
I enjoy listening to Ms. Tippett and her guests, it is a very calming program. The comments made make one think. She has a pleasant, genial, manner, that's non-confrontational, and yet, asks probing questions. Even if I might disagree with some of the views presented, she tries to maintain a balanced discussion. For example with the last show on "Creeds". My continued best wishes to her and her show and family. As a Roman Catholic, who often has issues with his church, it is nice to hear different points of view and faith is a ongoing process, as many times we're tested by events, both personally and in the larger world view. Thanks.
Highly, highly enlightening!
Highly, highly enlightening! Thank you,
I appreciate On Being hosting
I appreciate On Being hosting some points of view that Krista and probably most of her audience flatly disagree with. I find those conversations a lot more interesting than the ones where nothing contentious is said. I'd enjoy them even more if Krista would be a little less reticent to express her own point of view and get into her disagreements with her guest, although I understand that that's not the role she intends to fill for On Being.
just a great, informative
just a great, informative inspiring interview!
Read, reread and listen and
Read, reread and listen and it is both wonderful and maddening covering the texts of some of the comments. What a lot of Catholic bashers, 'recovering Catholics', Post Vatican II mummers, women as priests, same sex marriage etc., don't get is what Pelikan so brilliantly displayed in his disquisition; and, that is that a prayer, any prayer, the Creed, the Sh'ma is an intensely personal private experience and whether or not it is the Our Father, a daily Amidah, or the recitation of the Ten Commandments[which were first given to a Man and not to an ethnic group du jour] it is a personal thing not a social thing; it is a statement of 'Creed' all of it. You are the poor one; you are the lonely one, you are the 'naked'. The constant socialist claptrap Post Vatican II buffoonery of Secular Liberal Atheist Humanists masquerading as Priests and Clerics has given us the silliness that somehow Yeshua Mashiac was actually Che Guevara in camouflage without an AK47, that the Sermon on the Mount was about 'redistribution of income' and that the Beatitudes were actually the ACA. All of this has reduced religion and especially the eternal truths of the Catholic Church to so much sterile political diatribe and heresy: a Catholic looks like a Baptist, looks like a Mormon, looks like a Presbyterian, looks like an Anglican?, looks like a Methodist, looks like the latest representative of a heavenly 'The Wage and Price Control Board'. Yes the Creed excludes; I do not want to be identified with the Muslims [violent Monists their protestations not with standing] no more than I want to be identified with Buhddists [?sp?]or than I agree with homosexuals who are damned when they "ARE" that. All of your faith, all of your religion, all of the utterances of the Ten Commandments are about what you "ARE" in actuality not in potentiality. What you are in actuality is what damns you or is instrumental in saving you. What you are in actuality is either a 'Man the Redeemer' or a Man the Damned', nothing more and certainly nothing less. When a Man engages himself in an act that is a parody of creation whether it be that between a Man and a Woman, or falsely swearing to what he knows is not true, or even to tell the truth to which he knows truly is to harm and destroy rather to help build-up and correct he is engaged in sin and not that of kadosh [being holy- set aside]. The Creed of a large body of Messianic Jews [Christians] goes to that position. It is exclusionist out of respect for 'the name' of God [do not take His name for vanity]and for fellow believers. To all of those who engage this socialist claptrap I wish they would go away and stick their heads in the latest edition of Das Kapital and choke to death from the boredom, or come back out gasping for air and the promise for life that He who made us promised each one of us individually, through Moshe' the greatest Prophet after Jesus Christ, Yehsua Mashiac who is our Rabbi.
I'm awestruck with Krista
I'm awestruck with Krista Tippit's conversation with Karen Armstrong! Having been in a religious community for 37 years and now out for 20, I can hardly believe the new revelations this conversation has brought to me. Convent living did attempt to snuff out living "with doubt" when wrestling with how God was really integral to my self understanding....and an increasing number of emotional health issues we were told to ignore. I've read several of Karen's books and intend to revisit them soon. Thanks for this reminder.

So, If I am to get this right...
"Wet" storage is the intentional exposure to excessive moisture for the purposes of producing a dishonest product.
"Traditional" storage is the carefully managed exposure to a range of above-average moisture conditions, much in the way that affinage is properly practiced for many cave-aged cheeses.
"Dry" storage is the carefully managed exposure to moderate moisture conditions for the purposes of maintaining more of the initial qualities of a tea.
So, then, the 1997 8582 is a "traditional" stored and the 1990s Raw Brick is "dry" stored?

Women To Be Honored For Saving Life At Medford Church
Three women credited with saving the life of a friend and heart attack victim during a May 17th church service will receive a Citizen Recognition Award. The honor will be handed down tomorrow (Thursday) at 4 p.m.
Medford Fire officials say the trio's quick actions that morning and having an Automated External Defibrillator at Mountain Christian Fellowship of Medford helped save the victim's life. When emergency workers arrived within three minutes of the call, the victim was conscious and able to answer questions.
Medford Fire and Rescue says it's the second time life-saving CPR has been performed on a person needing it, and it once again illustrates the value of knowing how to perform CPR in an emergency.

Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei of China have won the Yonex Open Japan 2013 Mixed Doubles final by walkover.
This is due to the fact that their compatriot, Xu Chen, is suffering from a high fever and therefore he and his partner, Ma Jin, will not contest today's showdown which was slated to be the first final played.
Ma Jin still has a shot at a title in Japan, playing in the Women's Doubles final with Tang Jinhua. Their opponents are Danish duo, Kamilla Rytter Juhl and Christinna Pedersen.

Regarded as one of the nation's most intimidating road venues, Texas A&M's Kyle Field has been the home of the Aggie football team since 1905.
Kyle Field was named for Edwin Jackson Kyle, who served as Texas A&M's dean of agriculture and athletic council president. Kyle donated a 400-by-400 foot area of the southern edge of campus that had been assigned to him for horticultural experiments.
The permanent seating on the east and west sides of Kyle Field were added in 1927 and the horseshoe was completed in 1929. The stadium was expanded in 1967 to include two decks of grandstands, and the third decks were added to the east and west sides in 1980. The Aggies played on grass through the 1960s, but A&M became one of the many schools that switched to artificial turf in the early 1970s. Grass returned to Kyle Field in 1996 and the Aggies currently play on grass.
In April of 2012, it was announced that Texas A&M University and the 12th Man Foundation engaged Populous to lead the design study phase for the renovation and redevelopment of Kyle Field, recognized as the nation's top college football gameday experience and "Home of the 12th Man."
On May 1, 2013, the Texas A&M Board of Regents approved a $450 million renovation of the famed stadium, to begin following the 2013 season and be completed prior to the 2015 campaign.

Texas rapper Bun B had a full-time solo career unexpectedly thrust upon him when UGK partner Pimp C died of a codeine cough syrup overdose in late 2007. Even so, the MC, born Bernard Freeman, sounds entirely at home on albums like Trill OG and last year's Trill OG: The Epilogue, which pair his booming, concrete-hard vocals with an assortment of shimmering beats that glitter and shine like club lights flickering off a polished stripper pole.
Of course, these albums are really solo in name only. Bun B has a tendency to invite a few too many guests to the party, and Epilogue is loaded with so many features that the contributor credits read like a who's who of Southern hip-hop. He won't have the same luxury here, and the spotlight should remain blissfully on the MC when he swings by Skully's for a concert on Monday.
Kirko Bangz also performs.

Stylish retro looking voluminous hairstyle
Curly, pin-up hair of the fifties is channeled in this style, where short light golden brown hair is done up tight, yet soft, curls around the face. Hair is sectioned on top, at the sides, and back, then applied with a setting product before curling, to be able to hold the curls longer, especially if hair is naturally straight. A hot curling iron is used on two inch-sections at a time, and a setting spray is used liberally. Fingers are then used to arrange the curls around the face, so they don't unravel.

How to retrieve images (stored in BLOB format, seperate image for each user) from the database?
Last edited by suhaspnehete (2006-10-26 09:34:06)
How are the images stored? As BLOB (Binary Large OBject) data, or as a reference to where it would be found on the filesystem?
Well, since I'm thinking of the same thing, I might as well hijack this old post...
I want users to be able to upload pictures (avatars and such). Is it better to store these in the database or the file system? I like using the database because it keeps everything together, but I don't know how to serve images from a database, or if that's even wise.
What are other people doing? What are the pros/cons of the different approaches.
Note: To answer the previous question, I was planning on storing the JPEG data as a BLOB in the database. Obviously, the other route is to store a file path to the image.
See this sitepoint article for some reasons you may want to store images in the database. Make sure to read the comments too for counter-reasons.
I prefer to store them in the filesystem.

The 2nd EBC meeting was held at OECD Conference Centre in Paris on 14 October 2009, forming the opening session of the IEA Ministerial, followed by a networking cocktail and a working lunch for Heads of Delegation and Industry participants.
Under the theme "Meeting Energy Challenges in Public-Private Partnership" the session convened IEA Member Countries Ministers and non Member partner countries – China, India and Russia - together with 25 CEOs and top executives of energy producing and consuming companies including:
Acciona, Alstom, Anglo American, Beijing Energy Club, Cloon Economics, EDP, Enel, GDF SUEZ, Iberdrola, Institute for 21st Century Energy - US Chamber of Commerce, International Aluminium Institute, Lafarge, Lukoil, Michelin, Nippon Steel, OMV, Pemex, Petronas, Renault, Schlumberger, Sharp, Toshiba, TransCanada Corporation, Vattenfall AB, Vestas, Westinghouse Electric Company
The meeting – conducted under Chatham House rules to foster an open, frank and constructive dialogue and with a professional journalist to stimulate the debate – was structured around two substantive themes based on the findings of the forthcoming World Energy Outlook 2009. In particular:
The meeting brought together an impressive list of governments and industry leaders to debate the practical steps that are needed to move the global energy system onto a sustainable pathway, such as that outlined in the 450 Scenario of the IEA's World Energy Outlook 2009. Many Ministers and top executives praised the session for its lively and constructive dialogue and noted the many pertinent issues that were raised.
"As the private sector traditionally accounts for the vast bulk of energy investments, strong public-private partnerships are essential to overcome the global energy challenges we face. We welcome the establishment of the Energy Business Council (EBC) and invite this executive-level group to work closely with the IEA Secretariat"

Pentagon cuts could affect 30,000 in Washington
SEATTLE - More than 30,000 defense workers in Washington would have their paychecks cut about 20 percent from late April through September under the furlough plan announced Wednesday by the Pentagon.
The Seattle Times reports the plan would affect about 16,200 civilian workers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord and 16,000 Northwest civilian Navy employees, most of whom work in Washington.
The Defense Department hopes a 9 percent cut in the civilian employee payroll in Washington would save about $175 million.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told Congress Wednesday he would have to cut payroll on a total of 800,000 civilian workers if automatic government spending cuts kick in on March 1.
The cuts would save $4 billion to $5 billion by the end of September.

changed and recompiled (to use the new & improved one), so the old module
would not really be missed.
Terminology can be very important here.
Do you want to remove a module from the service program or a
sub-procedure? A program can't call a module.
Questions:cause signature violation issues? I have binder source, which would be
1) Would updating the service program (UPDSRVPGM) to add the new module
updated, but some of the programs that call other modules of the service
program were created before the binder source.
If you remove a procedure from the list of exports, the signature bound
into all of the calling programs is now different. An example of
current service program exports:
mdy2ymd 1
encrypt 2
decrypt 3
centerstring 4
encode 5
decode 6
I have a program OEORDDSP which uses encode and decode. When I compile
OEORDDSP, the binder doesn't store the procedure names in the code, it
stores their export position. So when the RPG program does a serial =
encode(name) it really calls out to serial = EXPORT[5] PARM(name).
Perfectionists are cringing but that's the general idea.
If you remove centerstring from your service program and run OEORDDSP,
it will still call the 5th export, because that's what we told it to do
the lat time we compiled it. Only now, here is the list of exports:
mdy2ymd 1
encrypt 2
decrypt 3
encode 4
decode 5
Yeah, the decode procedure gets called instead of the encode procedure.
That's why service program signatures exist - to stop that from
happening accidentally.
2) Is that old module forever part of the service program (and a sourceof confusion to everyone that follows me and wonders about this phantom
Yes, it would be left in the service program.
3) Would I be better off recreating the service program (CRTSRVPGM) topermanently remove the old module?
Running 7.1, no TR 7 yet.
If you remove a procedure you will pretty much need to rebind every
program that uses that service program.

Brand New Setup!
Posted 11 December 2012 - 05:20 PM
I started playing paintball back when I was 14 but school, family, budget and a host of other reasons kept me from the sport.
Now that I have a full-time professional job, i can afford to start playing again. I've put together a budget baller setup and I want some feedback on it.
Marker: GOG eNMEy with PE OOPS asa and macroline
Mask: V-Force Profilers
Hopper: VL Revolution (mech guns = cheap hoppers )
Tank: Ninja 48/3000 with cover
Pack: Angel Sports 3+6 (Seriously, this is the coolest-looking pack I've ever seen)
I'm leaning more to making the jump into the warm and gooey speedball world again but want to hone my skills using a mech. Saving money on paint is a plus too.
So. Thoughts? Comments? Jokes? All would be very welcome
Posted 11 December 2012 - 05:25 PM
Get a Ninja 4500psi tank with a pro reg. the cu. size is preference. 3000psi tanks are a waste of money in my opinion.

Posted 11 December 2012 - 05:50 PM
For pads, I'm wondering if i can run down to home depot for some carpenters pads for my knees. I have some lacrosse arm pads that i think i can use as well.
As for the loader, I'm thinking of sticking to mechs for the forseeable future as the whole "accuracy by volume" schtick seems so wasteful and unskilled to me. I might look into something like a Pinokio down the line, though.
The tank is definitely something I'm planning on upgrading ASAP. My GF wanted to go with me last time so i gave her my old spyder and bought her a tank and some JT Spectras, using up the last of my fun money. And I know that keeping her happy and outfitted will trickle down to me.
What are your thoughts about playing speedball with a mech? My rationale is to train myself into shot discipline and movement and not rely on ROF.
Again, thanks. I love the paintball community.

If pump is an option to you and you want a generally inexpensive pump gun I recommend the Azodin Kaos.
If you really want shot discipline I would recommend a pump.
As far as a hopper goes I think that the Invert Too and Pinokio are the stepping stones before super loaders.

2012 Award for Exemplary Student Writing in the Disciplines
The Writing Center is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2012 Award for Exemplary Student Writing in the Disciplines. Each of the recipients represents a division of the College, demonstrating the College's commitment to writing instruction across programs and disciplines. Please contact the Writing Center to view the winning submissions and for information on the selection process.
Division I: Tyrone Smith, "Social Media Murder"
Professor Tom Grady explains that Tyrone's project was "provocative and successful in its limited purpose of applying postmodern theory to a text of his creation; still, it raised as many questions as it answered. What you see here is Tyrone's Culminating Honors Project which better synthesizes the interdisciplinary lenses he's looking through as well as deepens his knowledge of the psychological, sociological and ethical dimensions of this experiment. Most remarkable is the fusion of memoir and research in the writing style. While it reads as effortless—his voice is refreshingly unpretentious--, this tricky combination of styles is the work of a writer willing to take risks. The pay-off is a piece of writing rich with smarts, humor and humility."
Division III: Ricardo Irizarry, "Career Interest: Network Administrator"
Professor Priscilla Grocer found this to be an extraordinary piece of writing. Ricardo did a remarkable job in researching and evaluating a career in Network Administration.
Division IV: Tracy Pelland, "Orthodontic Therapy's Effects on the Periodontium"
Professor Lynne A. Byers explains that "Tracey's paper was outstanding amongst her peers. She was able to convey the research data in a well-organized format that supported her thesis statement. Tracey effectively critiqued data and demonstrated the full understanding of periodontal issues and how this information applies to dental hygiene scope of patient care."
Division V: Peter Mack, "A Feasibility for an Automatic Window"
According to Instructor Robert Curro, "Peter takes a simple concept based on consumer needs and develops a feasibility report that is well organized, adheres to formal technical writing practices, easy to read and is technical in nature. This report, which would be well received in private industry as a simple model, informs the reader as to what is required from private industry when a new concept is conceived and what steps must be taken prior to a company allocating funds and resources to bring it to market.
Division VI: Alexander O'Neil, "Eyes Forward"
According to Assistant Professor Lara Kradinova, Alex's piece is "a narrative piece that explains in vivid detail what it means to make sense of an experience that initially seems senseless or unfortunate and later turns out to be just the right thing. The student masterfully crafted this captivating piece making sure that the readers root for him and his success while reading it."
Department of Disability Services: Elise M. Kennedy, "Differences Between Being a Special Needs Student in the K-12 System and Being a Special Needs Student at the Postsecondary Level"
Cindy Poore-Pariseau, Coordinator of Disability Services, said she entered Elise's report into the running for an award because of the high level of research she put into the report as well has the excellent product that resulted from her efforts. Elise has a firm grip on how to research, incorporate references appropriately and respond in a way that reflects her strong command of writing methods.
Not only did Elise exceed my expectations in writing this report, she also produced a piece of work that will benefit current and future BCC students.
