Download or read book In the Shadows of the Christian See written by Kalman Dubov and published by Kalman Dubov. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During my 28-years of service as a military chaplain in the United States Armed Forces, I wore the uniforms of the US Navy, US Marine Corps, and US Air Force. I had tours of duty in the United States and overseas. The senior chaplains with whom I worked and to whom I was responsible for each day's work, were of senior rank, and men (I briefly served under a woman while deployed in the Middle East) who were all Christian, mostly of the Protestant faith. I describe my time with them, and the atmosphere they created both for the chapel and chapel staff community as for the entire base. Uniformly, I found them intolerant of other religions, refusing to accede to my place at the table of authority and decision. One individual was an anti-Semite, a man who took every opportunity to undermine my place at the base we were at (Naval Station Subic Bay, Philippines). The hours following the weekly staff meeting were when he expressed his outrage at the existence of the State of Israel while promoting the rights of the Palestinians. He belittled every aspect of my work at this base. His vilifying statements, expressed in shouting outbursts at the highest pitch of screech and rage, were done without any interest in any form of civility or decency. Once unleashed, he poured forth his fecal filth, resulting, in his expressing his determination: For me not being able to stay in the Navy and to never be promoted to a higher rank. But this anti-Semite's intentions and actions were thwarted by an extraordinary event that countered the immediacy of negativity. The long-term effects of that man's actions resulted in a festering poison that was never eradicated throughout the time I was in the military. I also describe other seniors, with their foibles and careerism, their overall limitations, and crass behaviors. In two instances, I joined a group of African-Americans at two Air Force bases who were intent on gathering sufficient racist information for a legal challenge with the ACLU. I was honored to sit with them, considering ways to oust the racists who sat in the leadership position. I retired as a Major and did so honorably. I regret working with these miserable miscreants who expressed virtue and grace but whose hearts were filled with limitation, dishonor, and evil. In the final analysis, I regret having served alongside these people. They did not deserve my presence and they certainly did not earn my esteem or respect. I am often thanked for my years of military service, immediately seeing a nod of respect at the sacrifices made during these nearly three decades of time. These two volumes, detailing names, places, and settings describe the details and how I coped with persons who represented an unwelcome face, one of barest tolerance at the necessity of my presence and, by extension, the presence of the small Jewish community at that military base. I encountered harsh Christian fundamentalism, promoted by these Christian chaplains, and extended by them to their counterparts in the military base community. Facing such negative attitudes in each base, I realized the severe limitations of my presence. And by the time of my retirement, I was literally counting the days when I would never again meet with these people. These are unpleasant vignettes, but they are true insofar as my recollection of them. And one of the purposes of these volumes is to remove the veneer of naïveté about this world and its people. In the end, I am ambiguous about that commitment, partly proud I persevered, but also ashamed at the cost such commitment demanded. I leave it to the reader to determine if the sacrifice was worthwhile.

Download or read book The 9 9 Percent written by Matthew Stewart and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “brilliant” (The Washington Post), “clear-eyed and incisive” (The New Republic) analysis of how the wealthiest group in American society is making life miserable for everyone—including themselves. In 21st-century America, the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution have walked away with the big prizes even while the bottom 90% have lost ground. What’s left of the American Dream has taken refuge in the 9.9% that lies just below the tip of extreme wealth. Collectively, the members of this group control more than half of the wealth in the country—and they are doing whatever it takes to hang on to their piece of the action in an increasingly unjust system. They log insane hours at the office and then turn their leisure time into an excuse for more career-building, even as they rely on an underpaid servant class to power their economic success and satisfy their personal needs. They have segregated themselves into zip codes designed to exclude as many people as possible. They have made fitness a national obsession even as swaths of the population lose healthcare and grow sicker. They have created an unprecedented demand for admission to elite schools and helped to fuel the dramatic cost of higher education. They channel their political energy into symbolic conflicts over identity in order to avoid acknowledging the economic roots of their privilege. And they have created an ethos of “merit” to justify their advantages. They are all around us. In fact, they are us—or what we are supposed to want to be. In this “captivating account” (Robert D. Putnam, author of Bowling Alone), Matthew Stewart argues that a new aristocracy is emerging in American society and it is repeating the mistakes of history. It is entrenching inequality, warping our culture, eroding democracy, and transforming an abundant economy into a source of misery. He calls for a regrounding of American culture and politics on a foundation closer to the original promise of America.
Download or read book Fault Responsibility and Administrative Law in Late Babylonian Legal Texts written by F. Rachel Magdalene and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 903 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a reassessment of the governmental systems of the Late Babylonian period—specifically those of the Neo-Babylonian and early Persian empires—and provides evidence demonstrating that these are among the first to have developed an early form of administrative law. The present study revolves around a particular expression that, in its most common form, reads ḫīṭu ša šarri išaddad and can be translated as “he will be guilty (of an offense) against the king.” The authors analyze ninety-six documents, thirty-two of which have not been previously published, discussing each text in detail, including the syntax of this clause and its legal consequences, which involve the delegation of responsibility in an administrative context. Placing these documents in their historical and institutional contexts, and drawing from the theories of Max Weber and S. N. Eisenstadt, the authors aim to show that the administrative bureaucracy underlying these documents was a more complex, systematized, and rational system than has previously been recognized. Accompanied by extensive indexes, as well as transcriptions and translations of each text analyzed here, this book breaks new ground in the study of ancient legal systems.
