Extractions: Sermon Index My brief in this series is to address the topic of 'sacred time'. In the Tempus Exhibition, there is an extraordinary array of things, cleverly conceived and beautifully made, that measure time and its passing. The question that focussing upon 'sacred time' raises is, essentially, why is time worth measuring? What is its interest? This moves us back a stage, from how to measure to why measure, and so to the questions behind the questions - which is one way of describing what is called 'Metaphysics'. The way I will approach the topic is to outline the various kinds of time that are to be found in the Bible, and to draw attention to what I call their 'logic': how they work, and some of their implications. In the course of my talk, I will try and indicate how some of these ideas and implications have found their way into pictures - but this only very briefly, and in passing. I.

Tour A selection of sermons by the Dean of Chapel, the Revd Tim Jenkins The Daily Offices Worship is the basic and fundamental activity of the Church. In Chapel, in Full Term, we say Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer daily. This is about three hundred such services a year. It seems to me important from time to time to explore the rationale of this activity. What do the Daily Offices, as they are called, do? How do they work? A sermon on giving If you look at the Order of Service, you will see that this sermon will be followed by a hymn, during which the collection will be taken. I want to consider the question, why do we have a collection in the service? I would add immediately, it is not my purpose to incite you to give more; I am, rather, interested in the significance of the fact. We might put the problem like this: it is curious that collections occur in almost every church service, and yet it is not the case that all aspects of the management and mechanics of running a church and a congregation are represented in the liturgy.

Ritual And Celebration In Pantheism
sacred time, sacred space ceremony and celebration in Pantheism
http://members.aol.com/heraklit1/ritual.htm

Extractions: Ritual and ceremony are found in almost all the world's religions. Usually they celebrate seasons of the year, times of the agricultural cycle, transitions in human life, or days of significance in the history of nation or religion. They are usually symbolic, and follow fixed forms prescribed by tradition. Rituals have many functions. They cement the bonds of a society or community. They allay anxiety in a hostile universe. They provide the support of others for religious faith. But in most religions they also have more primitive and selfish goals, similar to magic. Prayer invokes the help of invisible beings. Sacrifice and offerings try to control fate or to ward off the anger of the god or gods. Communion tries to acquire some of the magical power of the deity. All ritual acts may be thought to help in achieving a favourable afterlife. Among the more sophisticated, ritual also has more noble functions: to remind people of their fundamental beliefs on a regular basis, and to acknowledge humility before the divine.

http://www.silver-branch.org/ssbsacredtime.html

Extractions: Within that linear perception, most Pagans acknowledge that time spirals, having a quasi-cyclical nature. Rather than each experience moment being completely different from the ones before and the ones after, there are these moments form cyclical patterns. Yet, we do not experience exactly the same moments over and over. In nature, these are conceptualized by the cycles of birth, death and rebirth of each life, the yearly cycles of seasons or star-pattern change, the monthly cycles of lunar phases, and the daily cycles of day and night. We experience temporal cycles in our domestic lives, in our work lives, in our community/environmental relationships, and in our spiritual lives. Our bodies have daily, monthly, yearly, and international rhythms. Our challenge is to be observant of those cycles and learn to live in harmony with these cycles. One of the ways we can do this is by constructing a personal calendar of our own meaningful dates and daily, monthly, and seasonal indicators. We can do this in two parts:

Extractions: Luis Alberto Hernández. Sacred Time and Space by: Eduardo Planchart Aesthetic Aspect: The link with the African, the Prehispanic, the Western Gnosis and the invocation of sacred symbols lead us to one of the senses of this aesthetic proposal, then this is an art of enchantment or invocation. These sacred signs have power in the depth of our psique. Cabalistic signs which surround the work reinforce this aspect. This cabalistic spirit is complimented with the alchemic aspect of the artist´s work manifested in color, materials, and symbols he uses, stressing the concept of transcendence and fusión with the sacred creation he seeks. Moever, he relates his work to Medieval and Colonial times, this influence which is evident in this group of paintings, on their hand painted frames an gold leaf technique. One of the most importants aspects in this artistic proposal is that it allows the the spectarors to recover, through asthetic dimension, the experience of the sacred. The artist accomplishes this in a very personal way by creating his own artistic style, technique and religous philosophy. One aspect that can not be left aside in Luis Alberto Hernández´s works is the use of mysterious writtings. Almost all are phrases and sentences where only a few words a legible. In this way, the artist tries to attract the spectator´s attention creating an intense climate of mystery through semantic and form. Writting as an aesthetic resource leads us to the symbolic dimension of his art, then these emblems are a language which longs to be figured out, as well as the words and their new possible meaning. In this way, its reading is incited through such asociation. Luis Alberto Hernández´s symbolic sintax is born from the small format works, which integrates the alphabet of his sacred writting. So he adds, with the passing of time, experiences that manifest in symbols and individual climates, which have been integrated in works of larger formats as it happens with the works of this showing.

P-I GRAPHIC Ramadan: A Primer (pdf format) But in the wake of terrorist attacks and the subsequent bombing in Afghanistan, Ramadan has been catapulted into the spotlight. Some commentators have suggested halting U.S.-led air strikes in Afghanistan amid concern that they would anger Muslims and weaken the support of Islamic partners in the coalition against terrorism. "One would certainly wish that the operation would not go on in Ramadan," Pakistan's President Gen. Pervez Musharraf said this month. "It will have definite negative effects around the Islamic world." For the 15,000 Muslims in the U.S. military, Ramadan will be celebrated as usual, even as their leaders continue to prosecute the war on terrorism. Many say they simply don't see a link between warfare and observance of their religion.

Extractions: Indeed, one little corner, a fraction of time that you allow yourself can do wonders to your being, to get in touch with your inner self and give expression to your faith. A space that allows you to reflect onyour life, on your day, on what tomorrow may bring. A small place where you can shed a tear, or breathe a sigh of relief, quieten a troubled mind or savor a few victories. It is a place to reflect and contemplate on what is important to you, to allow you to connect with your inner self , without interference, and in solitude.It could be as simple as a table top, a corner of the bedroom, a place just for you to enjoy few precious moments alone. No, it does not require a whole room, or many hours. Is there a small table top, a spot on the dresser, an isolated corner , an idle spot that collects clutter and dust? If you are on the road a lot, would you not want to carry something to evoke that feeling of connectedness?

Extractions: "couple-time" be scheduled? Sometimes couples get frustrated with the assignment to schedule their sexual connecting time. "Sex should be spontaneous, not scheduled," they complain. At the same time, they state they are so busy they can't seem to find time to connect and are frustrated with how that's impacting their marriage. I quickly point out that scheduling a sacred connecting time does not prohibit spontaneity within the time they have sacredly saved for lovemaking. Besides, scheduled is better than none if the lack is impacting the marriage negatively. Return to "Try this at Home" Make your couple-time sacred. What would happen if we established time together as a couple and made it sacred? Growing up in a conservative Christian home, we never discussed whether we would go to church on Sunday morning. Church attendance was a given. If something came up at school or in the community that was going to occur on Sunday, I didn't even need to consider it. Sunday morning was sacred. It was set apart for one thing only - corporate worship of the Lord Early in a relationship we fight for time together. We will go out of our way to be together for even small amounts of time. Once we get to the point where we are coming home to the same place and sleeping together every night, we tend to stop fighting for that connecting time.

"Sacred time is devoted to the heart, to the self, to others, to eternity. Sacred time is not measured in minutes, hours or days," writes Gary Eberle, chair of the English Department at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he has taught since 1982. In this philosophically rich work, he laments the "time famine" of our era where individuals seem to have lost any connection with eternity or the depth dimension of life. We claim to want more time for things that matter but to make room for them we have to rush through eating, recreation, sex, and other important activities. In the end, we feel exhausted and diminished. Another aspect of sacred time comes into focus when we honor the Sabbath and take time to rest and restore our souls. In several linchpin chapters on the medieval sense of time, Eberle spells out how the Benedictine rule and books of hours enabled individuals to establish a fine balance between time and eternity. Their souls were replenished by tapping into "the fullness of time," a beautiful biblical expression that conveys the meeting point between the temporal and the eternal. With a masterful ease, Eberle reveals the ways the major religions make a place for sacred time through rituals, prayer, meditation, and ceremony. In a personal chapter, Eberle discusses what he learned during a year in which he devoted a portion of each week to finding sacred time.

Extractions: More books by: Gary Eberle DESCRIPTION In Sacred Time and the Search for Meaning, author Gary Eberle contemplates how humans' view of time has evolved throughout history, how we came to measure time, and why we feel especially starved for it now. Eberle seeks to rediscover a renewed sense of meaning in life through looking for ways to enter the realm of sacred time or "sabbath time"where we can reconnect with the slower, deeper rhythms of life that have traditionally been experienced through worship, prayer, and the observance of holy days. Drawing from the work of Western philosophers from Aristotle to Heidegger, and on theorists from Jung to Foucault, he presents both an intellectual history of time and a personal account of his own search for sacred time. Along the way he formulates an insightful analysis of our culture's obsession with speed and efficiency, and he offers guidance for slowing down to savor life outside of schedules and routines, showing the way toward finding fulfillment in this increasingly accelerated world.

Extractions: M. Kelley Hunter The present moment is one of power, of magic or miracle, if we could ever be wholly in it and awake to it. D.M. Dooling Sacred space-time technology gives us the capacity to alter reality. Science is currently monitoring the decrease in magnetic fields, which hold the grids of concensus reality in place. As the magnetic fields are decreasing, the heart beat of Earth is pulsating more rapidly. We are dancing to a changing rhythm, a new frequency, reality is shifting more rapidly. When we are bring our full attention to our presence in the present, spirit incarnates through us. There are particularly powerful moments and places for this to happen. Working with sacred space, one becomes aware that if the space is powerful enough, time becomes a less important factor. The reverse is also true: that a particularly potent time can focus power in any receptive place. The combination of both is the juiciest. Earth is our sacred space and home center, the greater body and ground of our experience. Intimately related to this unique planet, we are wrapped in the glittering atmosphere of larger cosmic space. The sky is our sacred clock, timing the celestial choreography that spirals in longer and shorter cycles. As members of the local solar system, we on Earth are Sun dancers along with our planetary neighbors. The Sun as our common center and vital light, and our Moon, which reflects that light in inner and outer rhythmic tides, are primary factors in sacred timing. We know how powerful new and full Moons, Solstices, Equinoxes and eclipses are in ceremony and ritual.

Extractions: Archangel Michael My article in the Summer Solstice issue, " Of Spirals and Rings ," and this article are both adapted from my book, actually a work-in-progress, Empowering Yourself and Working with Nature through Dowsing, which I am writing to reveal my insights about the unseen world of subtle energies, how they affect the physical world we live in, and how we can "call in" these energies-working knowingly with God and with Nature. This article is a sequel to "Of Spirals and Rings," so I encourage you to read my earlier article if you have not done so. I hope this will turn into an ongoing series, which will be adapted excerpts from my book. If you'd like a personalized copy of a preliminary version of my new book, contact me or you can visit a beginning of a Web page Most illustrations have been created by Will Fahnoe. The graphic on the left, entitled "Archangel Michael", was created for me 10 years ago by a dear friend, Debbie Gillespie. Debbie is extremely intuitive and her art often seems to predict the future; I wasn't into spirals then, but alas, it seems that spirals now dominate my life. They are certainly abundant in Nature. I feel that all natural energies form spirals. In fact, I believe that the Universe was created with spirals, or, more accurately, with vortices. Although this piece of art doesn't relate specifically to this article, it does relate to all of my work. It is the art I use for the cover of my book.

Extractions: Newcastle Law School Working Papers 2000/08 This paper was delivered at Newcastle University, at a conference on Thursday 2 November 2000, organised by Newcastle Law School, together with the Department of Religious Studies, under the title:- We live in a society where both time and physical space are under relentless pressure. Common public time for leisure and religious practice has been greatly reduced, notably through the dismantling of the traditional British Sunday. On the other hand, private time to experience the sacred is becoming increasingly significant as an important human right, for example a right to time off work or school for religious observance. As common sacred time has shrunk, demands for sacred space have become more complex. There is a need for places where people may find quiet and spiritual refreshment at any time. Sites are sought for new and different places for worship and religious activity. Plans are made to expand and adapt old religious buildings. These proposals may be difficult to reconcile with planning law and with other modern public law systems. This interdisciplinary day conference was concerned with the relevance of the law in these areas, for providing opportunities which may enable people to find and experience a spiritual dimension to life. Sessions sought to examine relevant legal rules and principles in their practical application and to apply some theological insights.
