Now, for the next giveaway... It's not as goofy, but Janeites will have a great time with this book. It's The JANE AUSTEN COOKBOOK by Maggie Black.
"Jane Austen wrote her novels in the midst of a large and sociable family. Brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, friends and acquaintances were always coming and going, which offered numerous occasions for convivial eating and drinking. One of Jane’s dearest friends, Martha Lloyd, lived with the family for many years and recorded in her “Household Book” over 100 recipes enjoyed by the Austens. A selection of this family fare, now thoroughly tested and modernized for today’s cooks, is recreated here, together with some of the more sophisticated dishes which Jane and her characters would have enjoyed at balls, picnics, and supper parties. A fascinating introduction describes Jane’s own interest in food, drawing upon both the novels and her letters, and explains the social conventions of shopping, eating, and entertaining in late Georgian and Regency England. The book is illustrated throughout with delightful contemporary line drawings, prints, and watercolours.
Authentic recipes, modernized for today’s cooks, include:
• Buttered Prawns
• Wine-Roasted Gammon and Pigeon Pie
• Broil’d Eggs
• White Soup and Salmagundy
• Pyramid Creams
• Martha’s Almond Cheesecakes"
Ok, that blurb drew me in right at the "wrote her novels in a large and sociable family". That's ME! So, I have my own copy and I LOVE IT. Part history, part Austen dissertation, part cookbook... it's glorious.
a Rafflecopter giveaway Until next time my friends! And as always, enter early and enter often!

Fighter and Survivor Pens Memoir about Finding Answers in the Struggles
Author and entrepreneur Tasha Y. Berry is proud to announce her newest project, a memoir of her life entitled Finding My Why: Forgiveness But No Apology. Finding My Why is a true survivor story written from very personal life trials and successes to inspire readers.
Berry’s first memories are of painful hospital visits to treat a skin condition that left her back marked forever. Enduring more than a decade of surgeries and treatments, Berry didn’t know it at the time, but she was building the strength and character that she would need to go on to do great things with her life and in the lives of others. For most, these struggles would have defined them. Not Berry. She took the struggles and turned them into her passions and purpose.
With raw transparency and grit, Finding My Why chronicles Berry’s rise from medical struggles and trials at home to finding her place in the world. From a reputable job with the federal government to starting her own business from the ground up, Berry defied all odds—she began to thrive and with each passing trial she grew stronger and more confident. Today Berry is the founder and CEO of TBS, a million dollar company and the founder of the non-profit organization Phoenix Reintegration Project dedicated to offering free job training to those recently returned from incarceration.
Berry remarked, “This memoir is another passion project in my life. I have poured my heart onto the pages of this book. In it, you will journey with me through the lowest of lows and celebrate with me through the highest of highs. It’s my honor and my life’s purpose to share with you so that you too will feel empowered and equipped to rise up and live your life to its fullest potential.”
Berry’s words inspire and compel those of us with obstacles to see the opportunities they bring and to find out just how strong we truly are deep inside. It is a powerful clarion call to us all to rise up, find our passions and our purpose—to find our own why.

Milestone is not a town that can be found on any map. Those who are aware of the place avoid it, and those who call it home treat it with a respect borne from fear. A once thriving mining town, the legends of myriad horrors operate as a warning to those who seek to cross its borders.
After his friends disappear, Warwick Tanner, an old man whiling away his days outside a liquor store, is forced to go find them, which means crossing into the dreaded town for the first time, a town marked by a sign that proclaims that: THERE ARE NO MIRACLES IN MILESTONE.
But Warwick will quickly learn that there are plenty of miracles in Milestone, and plenty of horrors, all of which he will encounter in his search. Trapped within the town’s fog-shrouded borders as the few remaining citizens, both living and dead, natural and supernatural, prepare for Milestone’s anniversary, Warwick will realize that his coming here was not an accident.
Because the town knows something about Warwick that he has chosen to forget. A secret that perfectly qualifies him to become part of Milestone’s accursed, and inescapable history.
Keelan Patrick Burkes’ “Thirty Miles North Of Dry County is a sometimes sad and poignant look at old age, memories, loss and friendship.
Warwick Tanner spends his days on a bench in front of a liquor store with his friend Dick, he has nowhere else to be and no one else in his life. When Dick and the liquor store owner Sven hop in Sven’s beat up old Volkswagen to confront the Mayor of Milestone about what he did to Sven’s store and don’t return.
Warwick makes the decision to go find his friend and confront the Mayor and whatever else is in Milestone. What he finds there he will have to confront things about himself that he has forgotten that the town knows about.
This is a really heart wrenching tale about a lonely old man and his last effort to do some good by helping his friends. The characters are absolutely wonderful, with a vivid sense of realism that really draws you into the story.
I came to very much care about Warwick, and was really able to lose myself in the story due to this, and Kealan’s wonderful and moving prose. For such a short novella Kealan’s work packs a powerful emotional punch, one that I enjoyed very much.
DarkFuse and Kealan Patrick Burke has a winner on their hands and one you don’t want to miss. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Here’s the Frank C. Brown collection of North Carolina folklore:
The bibliographies after each chapter are especially valuable.
Dr Jesse Russell reviews Michel Pastoureau’s Blue: The History of a Color in the Claremont Review of Books:
French historian Michel Pastoureau, whose Blue: The History of a Color has just been released to English-speaking audiences, is one of our age’s great librarians of civilization. On its surface, Blue is a dull exercise in scholarly record keeping—but in fact, it is an exhilarating and richly informing book on how the European peoples from the Iron Age until today have decorated themselves and their cultural artefacts with the color blue.
Pastoureau argues that the color blue is both a naturally occurring phenomenon and a complex cultural construct which is “first and foremost a social phenomenon.” His impressive scholarly narrative does not fall prey to postmodernism’s worse excesses; Blue offers a coherent raison d’être behind Western history, no matter how that story is colored.


Two years ago, in the autumn half-term of 2014, the Robbie family came to stay with us in London. Gillis, our elder grandson, who was in his first term at secondary school, had a history project to do about World War II. This involved asking grandparents for their memories of the war, and writing about them.
John, who was born in 1937, was just two when the war started but had turned eight when peace was restored. He not only had vivid memories of his own from that time but could also tell Gillis about how his immediate family had spent the war years.
Gillis sat next to his grandfather for most of one afternoon, listening to John reminiscing and taking extensive notes in a spiral bound Reporter’s Notebook. His resulting essay, accompanied by wartime family photos, won him a special prize, congratulations from the Chief Master, and an entry in the school’s Golden Book.
On Remembrance Day, it seemed appropriate to share these wartime memories. Thank you very much, Gillis, for preserving them.
Gillis Robbie writes:
“This is a report on my extended family during World War II.
Let me begin with my great grandfather. He lived with my great grandmother and my grandfather in Hunstanton, Norfolk. One day, completely out of nowhere, some soldiers, a lorry, and a gun carrier parked by the house. They parked overnight and then they moved over to the lighthouse in the morning. One soldier came round and told my great grandfather to open all the windows because they were testing a six inch gun off the cliff. Great Grandpa didn’t seem to think that this would work, so he and his boss went to see the army and told them “If you fire that gun, the cliff will fall into the sea.” The army told them to go away because they knew what they were doing. Then guess what happened, the cliff fell into the sea! The army thought “That civilian chap seems to be smart, we should hire him.”
Great Grandpa joined the army as a War officer. He was issued with a 500 weight pickup truck and a lady driver from the ATS. She was a terrible driver and so he sent her away. He told the army, “You can’t force me to have my own driver, because I’m a civilian.”
Life during the war was not bad. Women did knitting because wool was not rationed but furniture and clocks were in very short supply. If something had the sign CC41 it meant it was pretty good. Toys were in very short supply during the war. Luckily for my Grandpa, his father was very good friends with the local auctioneer. He got some unusual birthday and Christmas presents like a toy rifle, a steel helmet that was made from cardboard, an anti-air craft gun that would fire wooden pellets, and a searchlight which he still has the lenses for.
Grandpa’s house had a coal fire, an electric one and a gas one.
The family never starved and nobody over-ate. This is why. Grandpa’s grandmother kept chickens, so there were plenty of eggs. She went gleaning (collecting fallen grain) and fed it to the chickens. Food waste was given to the pig that she also kept. Grandpa was very lucky to have a big garden. His family hired a gardener and they grew all sorts of things. Black currants, red currants, gooseberries, apples, radishes, carrots, cabbages, lettuces, cauliflowers, raspberries, strawberries and rhubarb. Grandpa’s mother bottled the fruit but then she got a canning machine, so she canned the fruit. If Grandpa was a good little boy, he would get a slice of bread and butter and an apple.
Grandpa was five when he went to school. Boys there used to play marbles with 303 cartridge casings they found. One boy found live ones and the headmaster had to search through boys’ bags to see if they had cartridges in them. At school, they did two drills, a gas mask drill and an air raid drill. In a gas mask drill, you had to take out your gas mask from the cardboard box and put it on. Grandpa was sad when he couldn’t get a Mickey Mouse gas mask because his head was too big and he was issued with an adult one. In an air raid drill, you had to dive under the desk.
Grandpa’s Auntie Myra was 17 when the war started and wanted to be a nurse. She was too young at the start so she joined the women’s land army. Her uniform was jodhpurs, a sweater and a hat. When she was old enough she was a nurse at King’s Lynn hospital for a year and then she joined as a navy nurse in the VAD. She was sent to a big naval hospital in Portsmouth in advance of D-Day. There, she was promoted to a senior VAD. There was one sailor who was fussed over by all the nurses. He had lost all his limbs and the nurses would take him to the cinema and give him other treats. Auntie Myra would give Grandpa some very unusual presents that she had nicked from the navy. A ship in a bottle, a compass, a pond yacht made from papier mache and coated in paint, and some sweets.
My Nanna was two when the war ended and she has this one memory. There was a big peace party at the end and she went round with red, white and blue ribbons in her hair saying, “I’m a peace baby.”
That is my extended family history. I hope you have enjoyed reading.”

About the Author….
Miami-based financial advisor Victoria Lowell has spent countless hours with women going through the worst times of their lives: women who are newly widowed or grieving an unexpected divorce: women who just found out the family business is bankrupt or that they are about to start paying alimony to an unfaithful husband. She’s also watched the perceived self-worth and confidence of her many clients skyrocket as they’ve learned to manage their money, take care of themselves whatever happens and take charge of their financial futures.
Out of those experiences comes Empower Your Worth, a book that reads like a heart-to-heart chat over coffee with a compassionate friend who just happens to know everything you need to know about managing money. By sticking to the essentials, Lowell has written a book that is a quick, easy read and yet tells you what you need to do next and where to focus your limited time and energy, whatever your situation

Easy to read, but powerful concepts presented. The first thing I tried after I finished reading Impact Mapping, was to try it out on one of my own exercises. I found it fascinating how differently I thought of what I wanted to accomplish. By creating a simple map of a real situation, I learned so many things that I hadn’t even considered. I do recommend trying to draw an impact map on something concrete to cement the ideas.
When I was reading Ellen Gottesdiener and Mary Gorman’s Discover to Deliver – Agile Product Planning and Analysis, I had my highlighter, pencil and my sticky notes ready and I’m happy to say that I have many little pink stickers pulling me back to areas of interest, along with the notes I made as I was going through it. My library is filled with paperbacks (I’m not a fan electronic reference books), but I think this is one of my favourites as far as the feel of the book and the turning of pages.


Dear Fair Oakers,
Our hardworking previous Secretary, Wendy Borrill, wrote a few years ago that she had...
"hoped to put together enough information to provide a brief history of the village hall. However, our archive is not well organised and the random snippets of information I have gleaned so far are interesting but insufficient to form a proper and accurate picture of how the hall had grown and developed over the years.
It seems to me that the history of a village hall should be a simple matter of fact and the best way of arriving at that is through the people who have been a part of the history or spectators as the history developed.
I can piece together the origins of the first village hall, a wooden hut situated where Lawrence Court now stands in Fair Oak Road. There is a brief account, written by Conrad Walling, of the transition from that hut to the present building, and the generosity of the Parish Council in helping to facilitate that transition is recorded by the framed £1 note and citation pictured on this website.
I will be continuing to research and write the history. I know some of the people who were trustees during the early days of the charity and am hoping to make contact. If you played a part or have a tale to tell about our hall please get in touch. You can email information.
We look forward to hearing your stories and memories."
If you have any stories or information about Fair Oak Village Hall, please contact the Village Hall Office by emailing email@example.com, or call 023 8060 2282.

Tom Michell is a British teacher. In the 1970s, he worked at an English language boarding school in Argentina. One day he visited a beach and found a penguin that was injured and alone. Michell decided to help the bird. He cleaned it, fed it, and even gave it a name—Juan Salvado. From that day on, Juan Salvado lived on the terrace of his room in the school dormitory. The following is part of the story, written by Tom Michell, about the penguin and a boy at the school. From the first day that I brought a penguin to live at the school, one student in particular wanted to help with his care. His name was Diego Gonzales.
① Tom Michell은 영국에서 일하는 선생님이다.
② Tom Michell은 해변에서 다친 펭귄 무리를 구해주었다.
③ Diego는 펭귄의 이름을 Juan Salvado라고 지어주었다.
④ Juan Salvado는 Tom Michell의 기숙사 테라스에서 살았다.
⑤ Diego는 Juan Salvado를 보살피는 것을 두려워했다.

With a single movement of his wings, he flew like an arrow across the water and knocked into the wall on the opposite side.
One day, I took Juan Salvado to the school swimming pool with the boys. As soon as the other swimmers left, we brought Juan Salvado to the water to see if he would swim. (A) Juan Salvado had been living at the school for several months by then. (B) However, in all that time, he had never been able to swim because his feathers had been damaged. (C) “Go on!” I said. The penguin stared at me and then at the pool, like he was asking, “Ah! Is this where the fish come from?” (D) Without further encouragement, he jumped in. (E) Luckily, he was not hurt!

The Top 10 Most Difficult Books
Aug 03, 2012
Back in 2009, The Millions started its "Difficult Books" series--devoted to identifying the hardest and most frustrating books ever written, as well as what made them so hard and frustrating. The two curators, Emily Colette Wilkinson and Garth Risk Hallberg, have selected the most difficult of the most difficult, telling us about the 10 literary Mt. Everests waiting out there for you to climb, should you be so bold. If you can somehow read all 10, you probably ascend to the being immediately above Homo sapiens. How many have you read? What books would you add? Let us know in the comments!
Nightwood by Djuna Barnes - Dylan Thomas called Nightwood "one of the three greatest prose books ever written by a woman,” but in order to behold this greatness you must master Barnes' tortuous, gothic prose style. In his introduction to the novel, T.S Eliot describedNightwood’s prose as “altogether alive” but also “demanding something of a reader that the ordinary novel-reader is not prepared to give.” Nightwood is a novel of ideas, a loose collection of monologues and descriptions. What will keep you going: The cross-dressing Irish-American "Dr. Matthew-Mighty-grain-of-salt-Dante O'Connor," who, when not wandering Paris, drinking heavily, or dressing in nighties, rouge, and wigs of cascading golden curls, is expounding great rambling sermons that fill most of the book. These are funny, dirty, absurd, despairing, resigned—even hopeful in a Becketty I-can't-go-on-I'll-go-on kind of way.
Clarissa, Or the History of a Young Lady by Samuel Richardson - Richardson’s Clarissa is a heavyweight in more ways than one. The novel’s physical heft is part of its difficulty (she weighs in at just under three pounds in Penguin’s oversized edition), especially as her 1500 pages are light on plot (Samuel Johnson said you’d hang yourself if you read Clarissa for the plot). But what the novel lacks in plot it makes up for in psychological depth. Richardson was the first master of the psychological novel and he hasn’t been bested since. These depths are also dark and psychically wrenching: Clarissa's rejection and dehumanization by her monstrous family and the sadistic torments she undergoes at the hands of her rescuer turned torturer, the "charming sociopath" Robert Lovelace, offer some of the most emotionally harrowing reading experiences available in English.
Finnegans Wake by James Joyce -Finnegans Wake is long, dense, and linguistically knotty, yet hugely rewarding, if you're willing to learn how to read it. By this, I don't mean wallowing in the froth of scholarly exegesis the Wake churned up in its wake. Not the first time out, at least. (I take Joyce's talk about setting traps for his readers as an expression of hostility born out of years of frustration.) Rather, I mean surrendering to Joyce's music. Meaning here is more a question of effect than of decoding; in this way, this Difficult Book is paradigmatic of great literature more generally. Try reading 25 pages a day, out loud, in your best bad Irish accent. (Seriously - some of what seems like idiolectic obscurity is just a question of how you pronounce your vowels.) You'll be maddened, you'll be moved, and you'll be done in about four weeks.

Official letter concerning Armie Hill’s destroyed military records
An inquirer to this site wrote to me last fall that in his search for military records concerning his father, he had come up short. He explained, “I do have a copy of the SF-180, but since the fire in 1973 his official army records may never be known.”
In 1991, my own father, Armie Hill, learned of that fire when, in response to my family’s urging, he wrote to Congressional representative Toby Roth about possible eligibility for a medal he had not received but might be entitled to—the Silver Star.
When I interviewed my dad about his war experiences in 1976, he had told me that after leaving Camp 59, he and fellow escapee Ben Farley were among the first to reach the Allied line—having traveled some 300 miles from Servigliano through the mountains of central Italy to Termoli in just 31 days.
This undated newspaper photo was clipped and saved by British former prisoner-of-war Denis Crooks.
The source, the Evening Standard, is evidently the London Evening Standard.
The caption reads:
“‘Welcome Home’ Sign in Italy
“So many Allied officers and men are escaping through the enemy lines to the Eighth Army that directional signs have been put up for them. One of the signs in the village of Vinchiaturo.”
[The stenciled sign in the photo reads “ALLIED EX POW REPORT HERE.”]
Two Transfer of Personnel Documents
Document No. 1—November 3, 1943
The following “transfer of personnel” document—my father Sergeant Armie Hill’s “ticket home” after reunion with the Allied forces following his escape—was framed and proudly displayed on our living room wall for many years when I was a child.
Armie and his escape companion Ben Farley made it to the Allied lines in 31 days, having traveled an estimated 300 miles on foot through the mountains in order to evade recapture. They escaped on September 14 and arrived at the British Eighth Army line on October 15.
These eight men were the first prisoners to turn up, and Armie later said, “They didn’t know what to do with us.”
All eight escapees listed in this document escaped from Camp 59 in Servigliano.
Sergeant Armie S. Hill, circa 1943. I carried this photograph of my father with me to Roccafluvione and to the site of Camp 59, where he was a prisoner.
Strada Caserine winds up a mountainside westward from Roccafluvione. American servicemen Armie Hill and Ben Farley were led up this road by children to a farm where the family of Angela Bianchini offered them protection.
View into a rain-soaked valley from half way up Strada Caserine.
The story of how my father, Armie Hill, and Kentuckian Ben Farley were befriended in the town of Roccafluvione is recorded in an earlier post, “Armie’s Italian Angels.”
Take a moment to review Armie’s account, as it will help you appreciate the adventure described here—a September 2010 journey to Roccafluvione.
I had hoped to meet relatives of the Italians who had sheltered the two men. My friend Anne Bewicke-Copley said the way to get advance word out at Roccafluvione was to contact the town bars—the social hubs of the community.
In early August, I sent letters—translated into Italian—to the four bars in Roccafluvione. I also sent a letter to a city office—to the segreteria of the commune.
Before traveling to Italy, I thought I had a good sense of what Camp 59 was like—the layout of the camp, construction of the buildings, and the encompassing brick walls.
Of course, no former POW’s story of how things were in the camp—or even actual photographs I had been sent of Camp 59—could convey so complete a sense of the place as I experienced on walking though the camp for the first time in September.
From within the walls, I could look in all directions, touch the soil, feel the autumn Italian sun on my skin, hear birds and see them flying overhead.
The camp today is a community park called Il Parco della Pace (the Park of Peace), with green lawns, shrubs, trees, and playing fields and courts for soccer, basketball, and other sports.
Camp 59 and the blog dedicated to it
Coming upon their POW relatives on the web leads these two to Servigliano

Caption: Englishman Steve Dickins[on] and American Dennis Hill in front of the wall through which their uncle and father managed an escape. [Note: Steve’s uncle Robert was transferred from Camp 59 before the September 1943 escape; however, around that same time Robert escaped from the camp where he was held.]
MEMORIES—The meeting between an American and an Englishman, the son and nephew of two interned soldiers
They wanted news about the Servigliano refugee camp, from which their relatives fled in 1943. In doing research on the Internet, the two discovered the blog “Cam[p] 59,” dedicated to the prisoner of war camp in this town. That’s how Englishman Steve Dickinson and American Dennis Hill began a “virtual” friendship, which brought them to Servigliano yesterday—to share their family stories.
Steve’s uncle Robert, a British soldier, was captured in Africa and interned at Servigliano. “I found his diary—a sort of copybook of the Red Cross—where my uncle recorded all his activities through the war and until his death. I read those pages and decided to retrace his steps. When he arrived at Servigliano, on 18 January 1942, he described the landscape as charming, though he explained that hunger did not allow him to enjoy the place.
“At Servigliano he found consolations—his first shower in 24 days, and clean sheets. He escaped through the hole in the wall and headed north, aided people of the area. He became a partisan and settled in Gassino Torinese, which is where he died. His body rests in the Milan war cemetery.”
Armie Hill’s story is different. Dennis’ father was an American soldier who was captured in Africa in 1943 and transferred to Servigliano. “My father escaped through the hole in the wall caused by the bombing,” Dennis said, “But he headed south—to meet the Allies—and he returned home. He recalls in his story [receiving help from] Don Giuseppe Ciabattoni, the rector at Roccafluvione.
A Dickinson family outing to the beach. At front are Robert, youngest brother Len on the lap of his mother, and his father. In back are brothers James and William.
On this occasion—the Thanksgiving weekend, when American families gather to feast, remember the past, and meditate on their blessings—I’ll pause for a moment to reflect on the universality of family ties.
Here are three families—British, American, and Italian—who have connections to prisoners from Camp 59. The stories of Robert Dickinson, Marino Palmoni, and Armie Hill are well-covered in a number of posts on this site.
In celebration of this holiday, here is an international family album.

John Davison, his family, and new Italian friends explore the grounds of the old Cararola farm, where Norman Davison was at first assigned to work and where he later found shelter.
Steve Dickinson and Dennis Hill were among visitors to Camp 59, where Steve’s uncle Robert Dickinson and Dennis’ father Armie Hill were imprisoned. At center was the hole in the wall—since mortared shut—through which many prisoners escaped from the camp.
For three individuals who have an intimate family connection to the prisoner-of-war camp at Servigliano, this fall was a unique time for discovery.
John Davison this year made contact with descendants of Giovanni Bellazzi, the northern Italian farmer who sheltered his father, escaped prisoner G. Norman Davison. Giovanni and his friends helped to arrange for Norman’s safe passage to Switzerland.
Norman had been a prisoner at Camp 59 before he was transferred to camps farther north, where he was required to work on farms.
Then, at the end of September, Steve Dickinson and I were among visitors to Camp 59 in Servigliano, where Steve’s uncle Robert Dickinson and my father Armie Hill were interned.

Right: Armie and Eini enjoy a warm day at Spectacle Lake in Phelps, Wisconsin, October 1999. Armie died in April 2000.
On this site I’ve posted most of the war interview material I recorded with my father, Armie Hill. This last account covers the time he spent at the end of the war as a guard at the Port of Embarkation in New York City.
This portion of the interview picks up where “Escape—Armie Hill’s First Account” ends. The recording was done in 1976.
To New York City
After the 30 days I reported to Fort Sheridan. It was like going back into basic training again. I had to fill out all of my papers because they had been lost. And I had to have all my shots again and take some basic training.
As I was trained as an army engineer, they looked for an engineering unit that I could be assigned to. Finally the sergeant in charge said that I would be assigned to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. There I was to report to the 325th Engineer Battalion. They were called the 100th Division. Many of the fellows there hadn’t had much training. A few of them had had overseas training. I was in Company A. When I reported in at the camp it was a Sunday and a lieutenant was in charge.
He asked me, “Which outfit were you with before you went overseas?”
Armie Hill landed in Vichy-controlled French North Africa on November 8, 1942 during “Operation Torch,” the Allied invasion.
The following month he sent this holiday card to his family. The French Bonne Année is a wish for “A Happy New Year.” The card pictures a snow-covered village framed by holly and mistletoe and a Christmas herb (possibly rue). In one corner is a horseshoe—symbol of good luck.
On the back Armie wrote:
Wishing you a happy Christmas.
Loads of Love
The following February Armie was captured at Kasserine Pass. He spent most of the year in captivity.
Happily, the Christmas of 1943 found him celebrating Christmas at home in Phelps, Wisconsin on furlough. Many soldiers who escaped from Camp 59—those who were not killed or recaptured—spent Christmas 1943 hiding in the Italian countryside.
Al Maly provided this photograph of his father, Joe Maly, taken when Joe was in Italy and while he was being sheltered by the Papiri family of Montefalcone.
To the best of my knowledge the writing on the back of the photo reads:
Montefalcone li 25-6-1944 (A. Piceno)
Mio dovere come patriota, lasciarvi a tutti il ricordo
Famiglia Papiri, Nello Papiri
The first line indicates the village name (Montefalcone Appennino), the date (June 25, 1944), and the province the village was a part of at the time (Ascoli Piceno). Montefalcone is today a part of the newly-formed Province of Fermo.
The next two lines translate as “My duty as a patriot,” plus something along the lines of “I’ll leave you all this record [or keepsake].”
And it is signed,
“Papiri Family, Nello Papiri”
According to Al, the first man standing on the left is a son in the Papiri family. Next to the son is Joe Maly, and beside Joe is James Guillary. The other three men in the photo were also escaped POWs. Joe and “Gilly” were both housed in Hut 4–Section 11 of Camp 59.
Al told me his dad “was one of the men who made it out through the hole in the wall and in his group one of the men was shot. They could not go back for him as they were under fire. He never talked much about the war, only little indirect statements when I was young and a little more detail as I got older and more close to him.”
After the escape, Joe fought with the Italian resistance. He eventually made it to the Polish lines.
Joe passed away in January 2000.


His Beatitude Archbishop Chrysostomos II of Athens and First-Hierarch of the Genuine Orthodox Church of Greece was born on 8 October 1920 in Erythrai (Kriekouki) of Megara, where he grew up as a young boy. Later he lived with his parents in the town of Lavrion in the province of Attica. While a student, he would frequent many churches and monasteries, growing fond of Byzantine music. Frequently, during the great holidays of the Orthodox calendar, he would travel from Lavrion to Erythrai in order to chant at his village’s church where the Genuine Orthodox would congregate to celebrate the divine services (typically without the presence of a priest, for they were small in number in comparison to the needs of the parishes). He completed his secondary education at the age of 17.
Fulfilling his father’s wish, he took the entrance examinations for the Evelpidōn Military Academy, planning to embark on a career in the military. However, he was afflicted by illness on account of which he abandoned the idea of a military career. He considered the illness a divine intervention that led to his enlistment in the army of the heavenly king and to the path of monasticism. That was the desire of his spiritual father, Bishop Matthew of Vresthena. Subsequently, he dedicated his time to recuperating and private study at his home during the period that coincided with the Greco-Italian War of 1940-1941 as well as the German occupation of Greece of 1941-1944.
Right after the liberation of Greece, he was tonsured at the Monastery of the Annunciation in Athikia, near Corinth, by the Archimandrite Kallistos Makris, later the Metropolitan of Corinth. During the Greek Civil War (1944-1949), the monastery was caught in the fighting between the opposing the sides and he was miraculously saved from death. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1947 by Bishop Germanos of the Cyclades of blessed memory, briefly living in the country on account of his illness while serving the faithful of Erythrai and Villia. He was tonsured into the Great Schema at the Monastery of the Virgin Kosmosōteira in 1948 by the ever-memorable Elder Theokletos Darademas.
During the years 1951-1953, the new-calenderist Archbishop Spyridon Vlachos began a persecution of the Genuine Orthodox Christians. Our hierarchs were exiled. The churches were locked and our priests were captured and stripped of their cassocks, while paraded and mocked by the police. On the eve of the Annunciation in 1951, the ever-memorable Bishop Germanos of the Cyclades reposed in the Lord. Spyridon Vlachos forbade his ecclesiastic burial and, deeming himself a worthy successor of Caiaphas, he ordered that the body of the deceased be guarded by gendarmes at the Clinic of Saint Helen in the Athenian suburb of Sepolia (where he was transferred from jail while breathing his last) in order to prevent the reading of a burial service by a Genuine Orthodox priest. God, however, arranged otherwise. During the same period, the Archimandrite Chrysostomos Kioussis was secretly in hiding to avoid capture and stripping by the police, and celebrated the Divine Liturgy in country chapels and in the houses of faithful Christians that had been transformed into catacombs, moving about only at night with great caution. In March of 1951, in one of those catacombs, he celebrated the Vigil of the Annunciation of the Theotokos along with the ever-memorable Archmandrite Petros Astyfides (later, Bishop of Astoria), deeply grieved by the news of the passing of the ever-memorable Bishop Germanos. A white cloth with paper icons pinned to it separated the Holy Altar from the rest of the room. Two tables assumed the role of the Altar and the Table of Oblation. They celebrated the liturgy in this manner when suddenly at two o’clock in the morning there was a knocking on the door! Fortunately, it was not the police but rather members of N.E.O.S., the youth organization of the Genuine Orthodox Church, who were seeking a priest to secretly conduct a burial service, having convinced the gendarme guarding the body of Bishop Germanos to “look the other way.” While Fr. Petros continued the Vigil, Fr. Chrysostomos went to read the funeral of the reposed hierarch. As the funeral approached its end the gendarme, who was following the service piously, warned that the time had come for him to be relieved. As Fr. Chrysostomos and his entourage were heading for their car, the oncoming gendarmes spotted him. A chase ensued. However, Pericles, the priest’s experienced driver, drove through the maze of Athenian streets and managed to escape, thus keeping Fr. Chrysostomos from being captured and stripped.
In 1956, Fr. Chrysostomos assumed the responsibilities of the General Secretary of the Ecclesiastical Committee, which had assumed the leadership of our Church provisionally after the repose of the ever-memorable Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Florina, the First-Hierarch of the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christian of Greece from 1943 to 1955. At the direction of the Ecclesiasstical Committee, he traveled by train to Germany and France along with Fr. Akakios Pappas the Younger (the current Metropolitan of Attica and Diavlia) in order to establish contact with the Archbishop of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) in Western Europe, St. John (Maximovich), with the goal of consecrating Bishops for the Genuine Orthodox Church of Greece. While agreeing to ordain clergy for the Genuine Orthodox of Greece, St. John referred them to Metropolitan Anastasy (Gribanovsky), the First-Hierarch of ROCOR from 1936 to 1965, regarding the question of episcopal ordinations. In 1957, Fr. Chrysostomos was chosen as a candidate for elevation to the episcopacy along with the priest-monks Akakios Pappas the Elder and Chrysostomos Naslimis by the Second Pan-Hellenic Clergy Conference of the Genuine Orthodox Church of Greece. He worked diligently for the consecration of the ever-memorable Archbishop Akakios Pappas the Elder and the restoration of the Greek episcopate by the ROCOR in 1960. After that, he founded the Monastery of the Most-Immaculate Virgin in Megara, serving the Church as secretary to the Synod.
In 1971, he was consecrated Metropolitan of Thessalonica, taking up additionally the pastorship of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. As Metropolitan of Thessalonica he dedicated all his energies to the organization of his Diocese until 1986, when he was elected Archbishop of Athens and First-Hierarch of the Genuine Orthodox Church of Greece—the office which he held until 6 September 2010 (o.s.) when he reposed in the Lord after divine liturgy on the feast of the miracle of the Archangel Michael at Chonai.
It was during his pastorship that the Genuine Orthodox Church of Greece was formally recognized by the Hellenic Republic, providing a legal framework for the preservation of Church properties and the recognition of the sacraments of the Genuine Orthodox Christians in the municipal registries—an act essential for the full participation of the Genuine Orthodox Christians in the civic life of Greece. Weathering many storms, he succeeded in the much-desired purification of the clergy of foreign and alien elements, which had found their way in the struggle of the Genuine Orthodox Church, renewing the body of the clergy with new episcopal consecrations in 1998, 1999, and 2000, and bringing previously separated brothers into the unity of the Church. It was his grace-filled, steady-handed piloting that provided for the peaceful stability, unity, and growth of the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians in Greece and abroad during the last decade of his reign. Archbishop Chrysostomos II will be remembered as a man of deep prayer and a clear-sighted and unfaltering helmsman that led the Church through times of storm and crisis and emerged leaving for his beloved Church a firm and steady foundation in Christ.
On 8 June 1998 Archbishop Chrysostomos II was received by Constantinos Stephanopoulos, the President of the Hellenic Republic, becoming the first Archbishop of the Genuine Orthodox Christians to be received by a Greek Head of State.
May his memory be eternal!

Sutton Golf Club. A short history.
In the latter part of the 19th Century the game of Golf was well established in Dublin and throughout Ireland having been introduced mainly by the British Forces. The Dublin Golf Club was established in the early 1880s and had their Course in the Phoenix Park.
At the same time it would appear that Golf was being played, most likely on an unofficial basis, on a little sandy peninsula at Sutton known as Cush or Cosh Point, which was the property of the Lord Howth.
In 1888 it is recorded that the members of the Dublin Golf Club were unhappy with the condition of their course in the Phoenix Park due, to a very heavy growth of grass that year, and their President John Lumsden, (later Sir John Lumsden), recommended that the Club move to Cosh Point in Sutton. An agreement was signed with Lord Howth for the use of the course at a rent of 1 shilling a month, 3 months rent in advance being paid to him.
Early in 1889 John Lumsden came forward with another proposal that the Club should now move again to the Bull Island and permission had been granted by Colonel Vernon of Clontarf and the Dublin Port and Docks Board for the move. The reason given was that Sutton was out of reach of the majority of the playing members. Having moved to the Bull Island the Dublin Golf Club became the Royal Dublin Golf Club as we know it today.
In 1890 we now find a new lease for the playing of Golf on Cosh Point being issued by Lord Howth to a Mr.J. McAdam on behalf of the Dublin Scottish Golf Club. It is not known whether this Club evolved as part of the Dublin Golf Club who wished to continue playing at Cosh Point or what was the Scottish connection. Dublin Scottish Golf Club played their first monthly medal competition in October 1890 and it is also recorded that a Mr. John Jameson was the winner of the Captain?s Medal in 1891. It is believed that this Mr. Jameson was a member of the well-known Distillery family who came from Portmarnock.
After the 1891 report there is no further record of the Dublin Scottish Golf Club or golf at Cosh Point until we find the record of the amalgamation of the Sutton Golf and Boat Clubs which became known as the Sutton Golf Club, the Yacht and Boat Club having been formed in 1894. It would appear that the Yacht and Boat Club had a slip, a jetty, and a Clubhouse on Cosh Point but that an increasing number of the membership became more interested in Golf than in sailing.
In January 1896 the Golf Club was formed and a Committee was set up to frame the Rules. An amalgamation was then proposed between the sailors and the golfers and the Club became known simply as the Sutton Golf Club.
It will be difficult for anyone visiting the Club today to believe that the original 9 holes were all on the seaside of the railway on only 24 acres of land. This was the case up until 1971 when, having been granted a lease by Dublin Corporation to "Connors Field", which had been a Municipal dump on the other side of the railway, the Club constructed 3 new holes to a design by Commander Harris and remodelled the original 9 holes to become 6 holes for a new 9 hole layout. The total acreage today is 40 acres.
The links was again remodelled in 1993 to a design by Patrick Merrigan which saw a complete rework of the land in Connor?s Field into 3 completely different holes and significant changes also on the sea side of the course .Based on the space available we now believe we have a nice test of Golf with many hidden and subtle dangers which require skill and patience to overcome.
The magnificent new Clubhouse we are in today is the third building on this site. The original little wooden pavilion was replaced in 1965 by a more modern building, which in turn was replaced in 2001.
The main feature of our Clubhouse is the Dr. JB (Joe) Carr room which pays a proud tribute to our most illustrious Member, whose record as one of the World's leading Amateur Golfers of his era is unsurpassed and undisputed and who was the first Irishman to be made Captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews in 1991.
Sutton is very much a Golf Club where the playing of the game and competitive Golf is of primary importance. The many pennants on display in the Clubhouse attest to the Club's golfing successes down through the years at all levels of the game. However it is also very much a social and a family Club with most of the Members living within a short radius of the Club.
The Club is also noted for its friendliness and hospitality and we enjoy the company of our visitors from all over the World.

European agricultural has been facing several challenges in the light of climate change and resource scarcity on one side and technological advances such as digitalization and robotisation on the other side. What will be the future of European agriculture? How will it affect farmers, society and rural regions? What will be the structure of production? Can European agriculture cope with the increasing demand for food when the new sustainability standards will be applied?

The Sepher Yetzirah or Book of Formation is the cornerstone of Kabbalistic philosophy, attributed to Abraham, it is a brief and cryptic description of how the world was created. through the symbolism of numbers, letters and words or sounds. It cleverly translates the complete mystical belief system into a single complex symbol, the Tree of Life. Encoding the sacred wisdom into symbolic form, provided a unique mode of transmission and protection, which enabled it to remain esoteric and concealed and also open to adaption in its interpretation through different cultures and times in history. It was initially transmitted orally until being first written down around in the 2nd century BCE.
The text describes the ten ineffable Sephira and their twenty two inter-connecting Paths as being “Thirty-Two Mysterious Paths of Wisdom”. The 22 Paths correspond to the 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet which are made up from 3 “mother” letters, 7 “double” letters and 12 “simple” letters. The mother letters are associated with the elements of Air, Water and Fire. The double letters with the 7 planetary bodies known at that time from the Moon out to Saturn. The simple letters with the 12 signs of the zodiac.
Whilst the soul chooses a Path to learn its major lessons from in each incarnation, we can individuate and undergo transformative growth from general “pathwork”, learning the significance and meaning of the symbols and structure associated with each Path on the Tree of Life. As we are manifested beings living in the emanation of Malkuth it makes sense to begin this process from the bottom of the Tree with Path 32 and move up to Path 11 at the top.
The series of twenty-two Paths on the Tree of Life workshops are held monthly for two hours over a total period of twenty-one months. The multiple symbolism for each path is explored in correspondence with its Hebrew letter, astrological association, Major Arcana card from the tarot and direction from the Cube of Space. It includes a range of other symbols including images, mythology, titles, colours, senses and personal characteristics. Variations between the BOTA, Rider Waite, Golden Dawn and Crowley tarot decks are also discussed.


The degree of consciousness of these letters however, was only limited as indeed, they knew they existed but they didn't know they were part of a book. And what a book it was! A book filled with words, beautiful words ... and with sentences expressing ideas, beautiful ideas. Yes, a wonderful book it was, a perfect book even ... and the letter was part of this book ... an essential part of it even.
But this, the little letter did not know and so it came to be that one day, trying to understand the essence of its existence, the letter set of in search of the big why? "Why am I, why do I exist? What is my essence in life?"
First it asked the letters left and right but they didn't seem to know either. Then it got off to walk across the page, then further even, to experience the other pages. Finally, all over the chapter it went, all of the time asking the other letters if they knew ... but none of them knew!
One day, on one of its many voyages, it heard about some letters who had 'a higher understanding' about these things. They were called the 'grand' letters. Not because they were bigger then the others or because they were standing at the beginning of a sentence. No, on the contrary even, most of these letters just blended in with the others, not having any specific particularity except maybe that they felt at peace with themselves and with all around.
So, our friend the letter set of in search of one of the 'grand' letters to ask it about the essence. It traveled for a long time, page after page, until one day, it arrived at one of the great letters.
This one was called the great 'e' and as I already said, it didn't have anything in particular except for the fact of 'knowing' and 'being in peace'. When asked about the essence of life, the great' 'e' looked up from the page it was on and said, with a calm and serene voice, a voice that seemed to come from the center of the book itself ...
The day you will understand the true essence of who you are, is the day you will understand you are part of something bigger, something I have come to understand as being called 'the Book'. The day you understand, I mean really understand from within that you are part of this 'Book', is the day all of your questions will be no more."
After this, the great 'e', went silent again. The little letter didn't understand a word of what the great 'e' had just said and insisted, "What do you mean, what is that book, where can I find it?"
The great 'e' once again looked up from its page.
"But my dear letter," it said, "you cannot find it for you are in it yourself. It is all around you, you are part of it ... and without it, you wouldn't be complete. The essence of your existence can only be understood by seeing it within the context of 'the Book', the Book of which you are a part ... an 'essential' part even, for without you, it wouldn't be complete."
"What kind of an answer is that?" the letter said to itself. "This isn't leading anywhere."
The great 'e' seemed to have heard its thoughts however as it said:
"Nobody can tell you the essence, for words will not explain that what has to be experienced, experienced from within. If someone tells you what it is, do not listen to his words for he will bring you no answer.
So, go now, my dear little letter, go back to your home page ... and live your life, not only looking outwards into the world but also looking inwards into your heart, for that is the place where you will find the answer to your question."
Later that evening
Later that evening, the wizard came up to the boy and said ...
"For most people it is hard to see who they really are. Tell them that in essence they are a 'light being' and they will stare at you in disbelief. Tell them they are part of something bigger and they will revolt ... in fear of losing who they think they are. Yet how did the drop of water come to understand? Only in 'feeling' the ocean, did it understood its own essence. So tonight my boy, just before falling asleep, go to your center and imagine ...
Imagine once again how you are a drop ... but this time, float into the ocean and come to understand that your real power, your real essence can only fully be understood from within this ocean, an ocean of love. Live this feeling, live being the ocean.
Or you can imagine being a letter, a letter experiencing its own essence ... by understanding it is part of the most incredible book ever written. Imagine this book, imagine the wonder it contains ... then come to realize ... you are part of it, an essential part of it even.
If you have felt this, you will have felt the essence of your life ... and you will have felt it from within."
"It sounds very hard to do." Shaoni said.
"No, no harder than any of the other things I've asked you to do before." the wizard replied. "If you think it is hard, always remember this. It is your mind telling you that it is hard. It is your mind that is in doubt ... but your heart knows, your heart doesn't doubt ... and your 'wizard within', ah, imagine his joy, when you finally understand."


Expert Help with Synthesis Papers
A significant number of essays written by scholars are synthesis essays. A synthesis research paper is one which is written with a mixture of different ideas which are linked on the essay paper. The ideas are obtained from various sources to be brought together through the essay.
Such a research paper may be based on anything. The student is only required to write according to the respective prompts. Examiners and tutors ask for this type of essay to evaluate students’ abilities to research widely on different subjects and link them together. For the student on the other hand, writing such a paper is a good learning experience.
Composing a synthesis essay involves three crucial steps:
Finding reputable sources of information
Copy writing the information to the essay
Referencing and proofreading the entire essay
Finding Reputable Sources of Information
Since a synthesis essay is a mixture of different topics which are connected, one has to research widely on them. Each point and idea raised in the paper has to be referenced to a particular source. Sadly, some students do not know where to obtain reliable information to include in the essay. The reliability of a source needs to be evaluated before you obtain any information from it. It is also advisable to confirm with your tutor on the acceptable sources to obtain information.
Due to the current development of the World Wide Web, most of the students rely on search engines for information. One should however, not rely on just any of the results displayed, regardless of how they conform to the prompts. Commercial websites for example, are an example of websites which students are consistently advised to avoid looking for information. One should also not go to blogs and new sites which have not yet been accredited as reliable information centers. Educational websites are the best places you can get information for writing a synthesis essay. Additionally, you can also rely on books written by already established writers.
Copy Writing the Information to the Essay
Each student should be knowledgeable on how to research and write. There is a clear distinctive line between plagiarism and copy writing. After researching, one should not simply copy paste the information to his essay. The research source is only meant to help you come up with ideas and put them in your own words. One should therefore study the research material and compose text which relates to it.
Anything which is copied directly should be quoted. In fact, it is advisable to sample a few quotes from reputable individuals to strengthen your argument. However, avoid putting many quotes since that would make your paper extremely unoriginal.
Referencing and Proofreading the Entire Essay
Although you may have put the researched ideas in your own words, it is important to reference them accordingly. Use the required referencing style and link all the post all the references to your references page. Finally, proofread the essay and ensure that the format, outline and grammar is correct.


Apocalypse and climate change: a terrifying or hopeful discourse?
On August 23, at the KU Leuven's Didachè-Studiedagen Bijbel 2023 event themed "De Bijbel als bron van hoop en vertrouwen in donkere tijden," Caroline Vander Stichele gave an academic presentation titled “Apocalyps en klimaatverandering: een angstaanjagend of hoopvol discours?” which translates to "Apocalypse and climate change: a terrifying or hopeful discourse?
Heatwaves, forest fires, floods... Apocalyptic images are the order of the day. Climate change is invariably cited as the cause of these alarming phenomena, but what does the Apocalypse have to do with it? In the first part of this presentation, attention is paid to the Biblical book of Revelation of John, also called Apocalypse after the first word with which this book begins. This scripture belongs to the literary genre of apocalyptic writings, in which certain secrets are revealed or made public. The structure of this book and the main themes covered are introduced. The purpose of the book as a whole is also discussed. Subsequently, the role of the book of Revelation is examined in two documents written in light of the current ecological crisis. The first document is the encyclical Laudato si’ (2015) in which Pope Francis calls for care for the earth, our common home. The second document is the book "Green Theology" (2019) by Trees van Montfoort, in which the Bible is approached from an ecological perspective. Finally, some examples are presented that show that there are different ways to speak about climate change from a Christian perspective, and that the way it is discussed does indeed make a difference.


A summary of industry news for the week
by Morgan Amer
- Publishing company, Hyperion is working on creating stronger ties with its parent company, Walt Disney. Recently, they hired Laura Hopper in the position of editorial director of franchise publishing, and Ruth Pomerance as senior editor to acquire and develop talent that will work with all of the Disney/ABC Television Group (DATG) businesses. Hyperion has also confirmed that they will be selling select backlist titles that don’t fit this developing business model. Through Hyperion’s newly-created Story Lab, they are attempting to find writers who can work for both books and television. Hyperion’s main goal in this shift is to find multiplatform stories.
- Despite an ever increasing digital presence and a growing global market share, BBC Worldwide has sold Lonely Planet to Brad Kelley, a US billionaire, at an almost £80m loss. The company’s governing body has since blasted them for the decision. Paul Dempsey, interim chief executive of BBC Worldwide defended his actions when he said, “We acquired Lonely Planet in 2007 when both our strategy and the market conditions were quite different, we have also recognised that it no longer fits with our plans to put BBC brands at the heart of our business.”
- In a strange twist of irony, Chicago schools were recently told by the district to remove Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel about growing up in Iran during the revolution, Persepolis, from classrooms and school libraries. In the face of a critical backlash, the district later tried to explain that the title was only removed from lower grade classrooms because they did not think the graphic language and images were appropriate. The American Library Association, many free speech organisations, and Satrapi herself, condemned the school district’s actions.
- A new press watchdog will replace the current system of voluntary self-regulation in England and Wales. This new independent regulator will have the power to demand apologies from UK publishers and impose up to £1m fines. Three tests to determine whether an online organisation is a news publication will ostensibly protect from overstepping and preserve freedom of the press. However, with much of today’s press run solely online the big question is, could bloggers be at risk of intense regulation? According to Culture Secretary Maria Miller, these tests should safeguard “small-scale bloggers” and special interest publications.
- Pope Francis’s book On Heaven and Earth will be published in English language for the first time on May 7th by Image Books. Originally published in Latin American and Spain in 2010, the book will contain the newly elected – and first Jesuit and Latin American – pope’s views on all matters regarding religion. The work is comprised of a series of religious conversations between the pope and Rabbi Abraham Skorka.
- In order to more effectively publicise their services in the industry, several print related charities have teamed up. The charities will help each other raise their profiles by sharing information and cross-referring when necessary.

Black Mirror/Espejo Negro is the common title and concept for three large scale projects in different media: an ephemeral installation at the Nasher Museum of Art, five corresponding archival photographic suites, and a concluding artist’s book project.
The five archival suites of large-scale c-prints produced for this project are based on Lasch’s grand, yet ephemeral installation at the Nasher Museum of Art in Durham, North Carolina (May 22, 2008 through Jan. 18, 2009). Commissioned by the museum to accompany its blockbuster exhibitions El Greco to Velazquez (2008) and Escultura Social: Contemporary Art from Mexico City (2009) the installation incorporates sixteen pre-Columbian figures from the museum’s permanent collection, placing them in front of black reflective panels through which images of Spanish old master paintings are just visible. Museum visitors also see their own faces reflected on the same glass panels. The photographic suites capture different processes and experiences at play in the Nasher installation. They also provide the foundation for the third and last project for Black Mirror/ Espejo Negro, an artist’s book that concludes the series. Co-produced by the Nasher Museum and the Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University, the book includes high quality images, writings by the artist, as well as critical essays by art critics and social theorists.

The Anglican Church has existed for many centuries, and many of the concepts,
objects, and rituals have not changed a great deal since the days of the
12 Apostles. The language of our everyday world has evolved, but the language
of our church is very old. As a result, many church words are unfamiliar
to modern people.
There are some books in print that explain the vocabulary of the Anglican
church. We like Church
Words: Origins and Meanings by Stephen E. Moore, and A
New Dictionary for Episcopalians, by The Rev. John N. Wall, Jr.
For a richer online dictionary, we like the online glossary maintained by St Paul's Church in Augusta, Georgia, USA, though its type size is so small that we can hardly read it. The Dictionary of Episcopal Things maintained at the University of the South is also quite well done.
