BEFRIENDING GEOFFREY CHAUCER: A REVIEW
Norm Klassen’s The Fellowship of the Beatific Vision provides a sustained (and convincing) plea that the Church should make some room for a new ancient friend: Geoffrey Chaucer. For starters, Klassen shows that in the General Prologue, Chaucer is doing much more than setting an English pastoral scene for a medieval storytelling competition. He is establishing a Christological structure of longing and fulfillment that undergirds, and thus unifies, a project most see as fragmentary and incomplete. The opening twelve lines (“Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote,” through “Thanne longen folk to goon on piligrimages”) pull together all aspects of the shared, created world—from the four material elements, to the twenty-nine pilgrims—that find their being and significance sustained by the Creator in whom all pilgrimages participate.

[Information from this site may not be reliable.]Monetary calculation is the guiding star of action under the social system of division of labor. It is the compass of the man embarking upon production. He calculates in order to distinguish the remunerative lines of production from the unprofitable ones, those of which the sovereign consumers are likely to approve from those of which they are likely to disapprove. Every single step of entrepreneurial activities is subject to scrutiny by monetary calculation. There are people to whom monetary calculation is repulsive. They are disgusted by the meanness of a social order in which everything is nicely reckoned in dollars and pennies.

A meeting of members of the Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations with Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman was held yesterday, in which a number of issues in the Church-state sphere were discussed, including the possibility of introducing foreign gender terminology into the Ukrainian legal field, reports the Information-Education Department of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. During the meeting, the various sides discussed a number of issues touching upon Church-state relations, in particular, issues of family and moral values. The representatives of the Ukrainian religious organizations unanimously reaffirmed their opposition to the possibility of adopting the Instanbul Convention, which introduces new terms, foreign to the Ukrainian legal world, including the terms “gender,” “gender identity,” “gender sensitivity,” “sexual orientation,” which go beyond what is acceptable in Ukrainian society and distort the understanding of gender equality as equal rights for men and women.
Head of the Synodal Department for External Church Relations Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) recently spoke of the many advantages of monarchy over elected forms of government, and his belief that the Russian Orthodox Church would take part in any discussions on the matter. For his part, Bishop Tikhon (Shevkunov), head of the Patriarchal Cultural Council and abbot of Moscow’s Sretensky Monastery, says he believes this is not the right time to have such discussions on the restoration of the monarchy.
In our fast-paced society that prizes productivity and efficiency, procrastination is clearly a problem that can sabotage career and advancement. In a world preoccupied with high stress and low self-esteem, procrastination can be a serious issue contributing to more frequent physical illness as well mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. And even in Christian circles, procrastination can be a spiritual snare, for procrastination in repentance and the keeping of God’s commandments can destroy our very souls. Even though failing to follow through and complete an intended task until the last minute can keep us from our goals at every level, leaving us anxious, depressed and even seemingly far from God, we still procrastinate.

Los Angeles is Spending $16 Million on a Bridge That Was Supposed to be Free
The Atwater Bridge was supposed to be a free gift to the city from a philanthropic investor.
Last month, the city agreed to move ahead with funding a $16.2 million equestrian bridge. It was originally supposed to cost less than $4 million, and a private donation was supposed to cover the whole thing.

In 1918, William McClure and his son, Robert, hitched their horses to their wagon and headed from the Spokane area to the Colville Indian Reservation to establish a homestead claim to 480 acres. McClures have lived north of Nespelem for generations now as loggers, farmers, cowboys, and homesteaders. The original homestead is still standing, and over 100 relatives from as far away as Colorado gathered on the family property June 24 to celebrate a little early the 100-year anniversary of the homestead's establishment.
