- The healing power of just forgiveness, without excusing injustice
Abstract: Justice is closely related to forgiveness and the extent of the injustice gap experienced depends on how much or how little personal justice a wounded person desires. The experience of forgiveness includes two diverse forms of forgiveness: decisional and emotional forgiveness. Decisional forgiveness is controlling humans' behavioural intentions, while emotional forgiveness replaces negative, unforgiving emotions with positive, other-orientated emotions. A victim may make a decision to forgive, but never feels emotional peace about the decision to forgive. Both decisional and emotional forgiveness are experienced internally within a wounded person and depends on the social context of the transgression and the response to it. Justice can narrow the injustice gap, but rarely closes it, while forgiveness can heal the pain within the injustice gap. The sense of desired justice is to some degree justifiable, but by granting decisional forgiveness and experiencing emotional forgiveness a wounded person can slow down if not stop ruminating vengeful thoughts. Christians can forgive transgression and wrongdoing because they are responding in gratitude to God's mercy, loving-kindness and forgiveness through Jesus' death on the cross. God guides Christian believers through the example of Jesus's humility to forgive wrongdoing and ultimately grow spiritually when Jesus requires decisional forgiveness and desires emotional forgiveness between victim and offender. Forgiveness is based on God's forgiveness, while humans tend to both forgive and also pursue justice without excusing injustice. Humans are in their own power incapable of justly forgiving transgression, but God can guide people through the Holy Spirit to just forgiveness.
- Der Heilige Geist und die Realisierung des Glaubens in der Geschichte.
Überlegungen zur systematischen Funktion der Pneumatologie
Abstract: Die systematische Funktion der Lehre vom Heiligen Geist für die theologische Dogmatik ist umstritten. Der Beitrag arbeitet in einer problemgeschichtlichen Perspektive die These aus, dass der Pneumatologie eine notwendige und eigene Funktion für die Explikation der Religion zukommt. Deren Thema ist, wie zu zeigen sein wird, das Wissen des religiösen Aktes um seine Einbindung in eine inhaltliche Überlieferung sowie deren Wandelbarkeit.
- De betekenis van Johan Buitendags stellingname in theologie der
Abstract: This article presents the importance of Buitendag's stance in the so-called 'theology of nature'. His theological statements endeavour to understand reality in conversation with other academic disciplines to see things in a wider and holistic perspective. Following a suggestion of Moltmann, theology must not restrict itself to internal ecclesiastical and personal faith topics but search for 'the truth of the whole'. It is argued that Buitendag's concept of holism is different from Moltmann's 'the truth of the whole'. Moltmann's holism is eschatologically directed after history, but is meaningless in a contemporary debate. His concept of history seems to be problematic too. Buitendag's holism is more Quinean as a comprehensive relative approach, bottom-up from contemporary insights within different academic disciplines. His theological approach looks like an ellipsis, involving both an ontological and epistemological focus. He defends (Trinitarian) communion as the primary concept, ontologically, which biologists may recognise in their observations of animal communities too. His theology shows a panentheistic perspective for the discourse on divine immanent agency by using as analogy the mind-body relationship in a sophisticated way. Buitendag shows the importance of this perspective for theological hermeneutics. This article presents some logical and theological problems in a panentheistic view which some prominent supporters defend as 'reality depicting'. Buitendag avoids this because of a relational ontology.
- Ritual failure in Romans 6
Abstract: Ritual studies are slow to make a large impact on New Testament studies, despite a number of notable exceptions. This notwithstanding, rituals occur frequently in the New Testament, in particular when there is a problem with a ritual. In this article, recent anthropological work on 'ritual failure' is used to address Paul's discussion of Roman practices concerning baptism in relation to a person's walk of life and to argue that this can be understood well as a case of 'ritual failure,' in which a ritual fails, from Paul's perspective, to achieve what it should. This leads both to challenging the attitude of the Romans concerning baptism and to a reconsideration of its significance.
- Preaching the 'green gospel' in our environment: A re-reading of Genesis
1:27-28 in the Nigerian context
Abstract: The article focuses on the text of Genesis 1:27-28 within its broader context where the author, the Jahwist, describes humankind as charged with the responsibility to fill and to subdue the earth, which has generally been misunderstood by wealth prospectors. Our methodology is a simplified historical and exegetical study of the two verses of the creation narrative in order to join other contemporary theologians to argue the right of humans to treat the nonhuman as private property as source of material wealth is immoral. As we re-read the text, our findings resonate with the contemporary clarion call for respect and protection of the environment such as COP 2015 in Paris. This provides the justification of our title 'Preaching the green gospel', especially in the Nigerian oil-rich states and in Africa in general. Whilst the paper presents a disquisition of the global efforts of the church through sensitisation of their members to appreciate the magnitude of the environmental pollution and the apocalypse it holds for the world, it draws attention to the possibility of the envisaged doomsday that may descend on Nigeria and other parts of Africa if the crass environmental degradation and the rate of pollution of flora and fauna are not checked. The paper takes cognisance of the positive views expressed by the evangelists of the 'New Theology' in Africa. Whilst the paper raises Biblically friendly ecological awareness in modern Africa, using Nigeria as a contact point, it concludes, inter alia, that the text demands humankind to partake in God's will for order and peace in the universe as it struggles to maintain the ecological sustainability of mother earth.
- Pastoral lessons from Augustine's theological correspondence with
Abstract: Augustine of Hippo (354-430) was a fourth- and fifth-century monk-bishop who left a great imprint on the spiritual leaders of his day by overseeing the monastery at Hippo Regius and also authoring a significant corpus of letters that were pastoral in nature. What is often overlooked in the study of his pastoral ministry and, thus, the focus of this article, is Augustine's theological correspondence with 15 different women. Through surveying the themes and issues in these letters, I have endeavoured to show that, though a monk, Augustine did care for women in his pastoral ministry and his letters show that he discussed with women many of the issues of his day (pastoral issues, church matters, monastic ideas, theology, and practical theology) that he also discussed with his male correspondents. In short, Augustine believed that these women were much like his mother Monica - capable of grasping biblical and theological issues - and he valued them as an important part of the church. I conclude the article by summarising Augustine's approaches to and values for ministering to women.
- Psalm 101: A supplication for the restoration of society in the late
post-exilic age
Abstract: This article investigates the form and purpose of Psalm 101 from two perspectives: As a unique composition from the late Persian or early Hellenistic period, and in terms of its function within the context of Book IV of the Psalter. It is suggested that it was designed by exponents of wisdom and Torah piety to serve as a 'royal psalm' at exactly this location in the Psalter. It was meant to offer support to faithful Yahwists by criticising the apostate Judean aristocracy of its time of origin and serve as a prayer with which Yahweh could be beseeched to establish his righteous rule by judging evildoers and thus vindicating the faithful.
- Jewish fish (
) in post-supersessionist water: Messianic
Judaism within a post-supersessionistic paradigm
Abstract: This article defines, explains and argues for the necessity of a post-supersessionistic hermeneutical posture towards the New Testament. The post-supersessionistic reading of the New Testament takes the Jewish nature of the apostolic documents seriously, and has as its goal the correction of the sin of supersessionism. While supersessionism theologically is repudiated in most corners of the contemporary church through official church documents, the practise of reading the New Testament continues to exhibit supersessionistic tendencies and outcomes. The consequence of this predominant reading of the New Testament is the continued exclusion of Jewish ethnic identity in the church. In light of the growing recognition of multiculturalism and contextualisation on the one hand, and the recent presence of a movement within the body of Messiah of Jewish believers in Jesus on the other, the church's established approach to reading Scripture that leads to the elimination of ethnic identity must be repudiated alongside its post-supersessionist doctrinal statements. This article defines terms, explains consequences and argues for a renewed perspective on the New Testament as an ethnic document; such a perspective will promote the church's cultivation of real embodied ethnic particularity rather than either a pseudo-interculturalism or the eraser full ethnicity.
- Believing in God the Father: Interpreting a phrase from the Apostle's
Abstract: In our days, the creedal phrase 'I believe in God the Father almighty' is interpreted primarily along Trinitarian lines: It is applied to God as the Father of Jesus Christ. Here I argue that it has a dual background: in Jesus' prayer practice, in which He consistently addressed God as 'Father', and in the Hellenistic habit of referring to the Creator as 'Father'. I discuss Jesus' use of the term 'Father' against its Old Testament background, and argue that it primarily points to the intimacy of Jesus' relationship with His father. Against the Hellenistic background, however, the metaphor 'Father' means 'he who brings forth effortlessly'. Finally, I discuss some gender issues connected with the use of the term 'Father' for God.
- Workplace spirituality: A tool or a trend?
Abstract: Workplace spirituality is a construct widely discussed over the past few decades and it is a much-disputed inquiry field which is gaining the interest of practitioners and scholars. Some clarifications regarding concepts and definitions are necessary in order to structure and direct the current debate. The aim of this conceptual article is to gain a better understanding regarding the direction in which this field of study is progressing and to put the question on the table namely, whether workplace spirituality is only a new tool to be used in leadership development or is it a trend to be taken seriously? The results showed that this field has potential to further development. This article can be used as foundation for future studies within the knowledge area of practical theology.
- Thomas Wolsey on stage and screen
Abstract: Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, lord chancellor of England from 1515 to 1529, has played no small part in the many literary, historical and dramatic retellings of the reign of King Henry VIII. This article presents the first extended analysis of the way in which Wolsey has been represented by playwrights and, later, film and television writers during the years from his death in 1530 through the present. The article demonstrates that by the middle of the 16th century, two competing narratives about Wolsey had become entrenched historiographically, and nearly all subsequent accounts borrow substantially from the narratives of either Edward Hall (1550) or George Cavendish (1554-1558). How successive playwrights and screenwriters balanced the cardinal's two archetypal personae has often depended, in no small part, on the concerns of their own day. In the 21st century, readings of the cardinal as crafty rather than callous, unlucky rather than unprincipled, have become more common, and with them have come more sympathetic portrayals of a traditional Tudor villain.
- The wisdom of Ben Sira in MENA cultural context: A cultural topical
Abstract: The biblical Books of Proverbs and Ben Sira (Sirach; Ecclesiasticus) yield no narrative continuity or logical outline. They are simply collections. The best way to interpret these books is with the aid of a topical index. Most topical indexes are based on English (or another language) translation. This article proposes a tentative topical index reflecting Middle East North African culture and its values. It will serve as the outline for a full length commentary already in process.
- Shades of irony in the anti-language of Amos
Abstract: The rhetoric of Amos includes a wonderful mixture of humour and threat, sarcasm and irony, hyperbole and prediction. Holding the fabric of this conversation together is Amos's place within the prophetic minority - the Yahweh-only party (his anti-society). Making use of sociolinguistics, and particularly the idea of anti-language, I take a closer look at Amos, including his use of overlexicalisation, insider-humour and all the shades of irony one might expect. Typically of a member of an anti-society, Amos exaggerates the differences between insider and outsider, in this case, speaking of 'ivory houses', 'the cattle of Bashan' while appealing to his successful attempts to save the rich from the wrath of God. The offenses of the outsiders are sometimes crystal clear and at other times shrouded in metaphor, and so too is the fate of these people. In reading Amos, we are constantly in danger of falling victim to the persuasive power of his rhetoric. We are drawn into the world of Amos, quickly accepting his boundaries and the ideology of his anti-society, his depiction of reality and his stark caricature of the rich. The rhetoric is persuasive and the irony is divisive forcing a choice of black and white, believer and unbeliever, rich and poor, oppressors and oppressed. We struggle to swim against the current and instead long to respond to Amos's invitation to live (Am 5:5) - perhaps even to discover that elusive hope at which the book hints: Most of history has been the forging of structures of security and appropriate loyalty symbols, to announce and defend one's personal identity, one's group, and one's gender issues and identity. (Rohr 2011:4)
- De opstanding van Lazarus (Johannes 10:40-12:11): Bijbelse echo's in
Lazarus is dead (2011) van Richard Beard
Abstract: This article discusses the relationship between the modern novel of Beard and John's stories about Lazarus and Jesus, and wants to give answers to three questions: (1) how is the Lazarus story in John interpreted by Beard?; (2) what meaning does John's story have within its own literary and cultural setting?; (3) what similarities and differences are there between Beard's interpretation and the original meaning of the Johannine story? Questions 1 and 2 require an intratextual analysis, which focuses on the structure and meaning lines in each of the two texts. Then follows an intertextual analysis which in this article is particularly aimed at comparing the contents of the concepts/ death/ and/ live/ in the Fourth Gospel with the ways in which these concepts are semantically coloured in Beard's book. Studying echoes from the Bible in modern literary contexts can explain how the rich potential of meaning of biblical texts is being unlocked in new texts, time and time again, but can also help us to read the Bible with new eyes through the lens of modern culture.
moments and prophetic witness: Towards a
prophetic ecclesiology
Abstract: The thirtieth anniversary of the publication of the Kairos Document was celebrated in August 2015. This was the most radical of several theological declarations issued by Christians during the struggle against apartheid. Arguing that theology itself had become a site of that struggle, it rejected 'state theology', which gave legitimacy to apartheid, and 'church theology' which promoted reconciliation without justice as its pre-requisite. Against these, it presented a 'prophetic theology' as a challenge to the churches in response to what was perceived as a kairos moment. Since then the Kairos Document has inspired a global movement in which its social analysis and understanding of prophetic theology has been adopted in a variety of contexts, most notably in the Kairos-Palestine Document (2009). In reflecting on the significance of this global kairos movement, I firstly examine the meaning of 'prophecy' and 'prophetic theology', arguing that 'prophetic theology' is in continuity with the message of the Hebrew prophets and the ministry and mission of Jesus. Secondly, I examine the use of the term kairos to describe historical turning points which demand such a prophetic theological response. Thirdly, I address the need for an ecumenical prophetic ecclesiology that foregrounds the responsibility of the church to discern and understand those God-given kairos moments in history that demand a prophetic response.
- Afrikaners in post-apartheid South Africa: Inward migration and enclave
Abstract: South Africa's transition to democracy coincided and interlinked with massive global shifts, including the fall of communism and the rise of western capitalist triumphalism. Late capitalism operates through paradoxical global-local dynamics, both universalising identities and expanding local particularities. The erstwhile hegemonic identity of apartheid, 'the Afrikaner', was a product of Afrikaner nationalism. Like other identities, it was spatially organised, with Afrikaner nationalism projecting its imagined community ('the volk') onto a national territory ('white South Africa'). The study traces the neo-nationalist spatial permutations of 'the Afrikaner', following Massey's (2005) understanding of space as (1) political, (2) produced through interrelations ranging from the global to micro intimacies, (3) potentially a sphere for heterogeneous co-existence, and (4) continuously created. Research is presented that shows a neo-nationalist revival of ethnic privileges in a defensive version of Hall's 'return to the local' (1997a). Although Afrikaner nationalism's territorial claims to a nation state were defeated, neo-nationalist remnants reclaim a purchase on white Afrikaans identities, albeit in shrunken territories. This phenomenon is, here, called Afrikaner enclave nationalism. Drawing on a global revamping of race as a category of social subjugation, a strategy is deployed that is here called 'inward migration'. These dynamics produce a privatised micro-apartheid in sites ranging from homes, to commercial and religious enterprises, to suburbs. Virtual white spaces in the form of Afrikaans media products serve as extensions of these whitened locales. The lynchpin holding it all together is the heteronormative, middle-class family, with consumption the primary mode of the generation of its white comfort zones.
- Human dignity and education - A Protestant view
Abstract: Taking current discussions on the relationship between human dignity as a human right and education as his starting point the author pursues the possibility of interpreting this relationship from a Protestant perspective based on the biblical understanding of the likeness of God. Since this understanding has not been at the centre of the majority view in Protestant educational thinking the author tries to uncover a minority tradition that has made the likeness of God the basis of education (Melanchthon, Comenius, and others). In another step, the author describes four foundational perspectives for making the likeness of God and human dignity the basis for education today, addressing education beyond utilitarianism, justice in education and education for justice, interreligious education and special commitment to children's rights. In all four respects Protestantism can make important contributions but there is also a need for the renewal of Protestantism's understanding of education in light of future challenges.
- The Way of the Mystic: The Sanjuanist stages of the spiritual path
Abstract: A major conceptual dynamic in all major religious traditions is the need for purification and transformation of the individual in order to effect integration and maturation of the personality in the divine. Although the means by which this purification takes place differs according to the cultural and religious configurations of any given tradition, nevertheless a recurring image is that of an inner and outer odyssey. A major example is the threefold path of John of the Cross, which presents a psycho-spiritual journey by which 'divine osmosis' can be realised, passing through the 'dark night of the soul', and culminating in 'spiritual marriage'. Although not accepted by many theoreticians and practitioners of mysticism, nevertheless the value of the Sanjuanist schemata still holds sway in contemporary society.
- Theology and development as capability expansion
Abstract: For the last 25 years, human development has become part of official development discourses. It takes the normative position that the success of policies depends on whether they have expanded human flourishing, or expanded the 'freedoms' or 'capabilities' people have 'reason to value', as Amartya Sen would put it. It emphasises the importance of institutions to facilitate such expansion, and the agency of people to create such institutions. The ability of institutions to be conducive to human flourishing depends on the nature of human interaction. When human interaction no longer has the flourishing of other persons as its aim, it can create structures which then constrain human agency. The article argues that the human development perspective could be enriched by theological insights such as structural sin and the contribution of religious narratives to public reasoning. It concentrates on the idea of justice of one biblical parable, and illustrates its argument with examples from the Argentine labour context.
- Why cannot the term development just be dropped altogether? Some
reflections on the concept of maturation as alternative to development
Abstract: This contribution is aimed at some provocation by questioning the basic assumptions of current development discourse (also in the context of religion and theology). It asks for conceptual clarification and differentiation on the meaning of various process terms. It needs to be recognised that the word development remains a metaphor than can indeed be extended but can also become over-extended and ossified. The concept of development is then contrasted with the process of maturation. It is argued that the concept of maturation is, (1) better able to indicate the final goal of the process than most other process terms, (2) recognises inherent limitations and (3) follows natural cycles better than exponential growth, sustained development or endless progress.
- Did Ms Wisdom of Proverbs 8 become a mystery in 4QInstruction?
Abstract: The Hebrew Bible is quoted and alluded to in 4QInstruction. There is an obvious similarity between the way the raz nihyeh of 4QInstruction and Lady Wisdom in Proverbs 8 function. This intertextual study investigates this phenomenon by comparing 4Q416 2 III 8-21 and 4Q417 1 I with Proverbs 8:12-21 and 8:22-31. It is concluded that apocalyptic influence changed the character of Lady Wisdom but not her essential function.
- The text-critical and exegetical value of the Dead Sea Scrolls
Abstract: This article will analyse a number of Dead Sea manuscripts and/or fragments in order to determine their linguistic and exegetical value. The article will, firstly, address textual material that is largely in agreement with the Massoretic Text - 1QIsaª is a case in point. Secondly, fragments that are seemingly less relevant will be discussed. The less helpful fragments from the Biblical books Proverbs and Job are taken as examples. Finally, highly significant textual differences, such as a fragment from Genesis 1 and one from the complicated books of Jeremiah, will be evaluated.
- Orphans in the Dead Sea Scrolls
Abstract: This study investigates the literary references to orphans in writings amongst the Qumran texts that were written in Hebrew and can be associated with the sectarian Qumran movement. The study focuses on passages where forms of the word -- are used. These include the Damascus Document (CD 6:16-17), Hodayot (1QHª 13:22) and Barkhi Nafshiª (4Q434 1 i 2). The investigation concludes that the references to orphans in these passages do not have the same rhetorical functions. In CD 6, the wordings of authoritative scriptures are adapted to portray orphans and widows as the victims of wrongdoing. In 1QHª and 4Q434, however, orphans are mentioned in hymns that praise the Lord's positive treatment of needy people.
- Review of James Alfred Loader 'Proverbs 1-9' (Historical Commentary on the
Old Testament), Peeters Leuven, 2014
Abstract: Loader's commentary on Proverbs 1-9 belongs to the category of technical commentaries. It is evaluated in terms of similar commentaries written by scholars who focus on interpreting the original Hebrew text. The design of the commentary, the four essays included in the commentary, and the approach to the text is discussed. A final section deals with Loader's exposition of Proverbs 8. This section focuses on the problematic Hebrew terms qnhin 8:22 and 'amon in 8:30 and compares his interpretation with the opinions raised by other scholars in this regard.
- Where is God when dementia sneaks into our house? Practical theology and
the partners of dementia patients
Abstract: How can hope, love and faith stay alive when dementia enters a home? In this article I shall look especially at the spouse or partner who shares an abode with a person with dementia. Most of the authors in this field, also John Swinton who is perhaps the best known author whose books are written from a (practical) theological perspective, focus on care in institutions, that means care by professionals. A partner living with a dementia patient has two main roles: as partner and caregiver. Night and day a partner is witness to the ongoing deterioration of her or his beloved partner, without being a professional. This article is founded not only on literature about dementia patients, but also on the experiences of several partners, as well as my own experiences as a partner. The question we all ask is: 'From where does our strength come?' I argue that what is said in the literature on the subject of (the pastoral care for) dementia patients does not help the partners, because it lays a heavy burden on them, who are already suffering from feelings of grief and guilt. I do not agree with John Swinton's idea that God created dementia. Looking for different ways of thinking about God and faith to survive with hope and love, I turn to the exegesis of the creation stories by Ellen van Wolde. These give the opportunity to take the evil of the situation of the deterioration of the personality of a patient with dementia seriously, and at the same time grant the possibility to turn the grief and guilt feelings into strength to fight evil, together with a God whose empathy and love stays with a partner in her or his loneliness and grief.
- Why did people choose for the Jesus-Movement?
Abstract: The must have been critical factors that made the growth of Christianity possible. What factors made it possible for Christianity to grow from 0 to 10 per cent of the population of the Roman Empire in the year 300, and even to 50 per cent in the year 350? By the end of the first century hardly any of the 60 million people of the Roman Empire were Christians. How did they manage to reach the major milestone of 10 per cent in the year 300? Five factors are very important in this regard, namely, (1) The apostle Paul was an excellent advocate to promote the christian message. (2) His voyages, his frequent visits to several christian communities, his epistles and his rules of life enabled him to create a 'world wide web' of christian communities that were recognisable as such for every traveller. (3) At the time monotheism was more attractive than the polytheism of the ancient Greek times. 4. The universalism preached by Paul (Gl. 3:28) was attractive as well. (5) The emperor Julian (the Apostate) recognised that christians surpassed everyone else with respect to philanthropy. According to him, only if the priests of other religions followed suit would it be possible for their 'gentile' religions to survive.
- A cultural turn in New Testament studies?
Abstract: This article considers intersections between cultural studies and New Testament studies. It ponders and focuses on possible approaches to the bearing of the 'cultural turn' on biblical studies. Following a brief consideration of cultural studies and its potential value for New Testament studies, four promising developments in cultural studies approaches to the New Testament are noted.
- The theological significance of the Isaiah citation in Mark 4:12
Abstract: The well-known passage Mark 4:1-34 is no stranger to New Testament scientific scrutiny, not to even mention the hotly debated phrases in Mark 4:10-12. To avoid repetition, the aim with this article is to determine the extent of the impact the Isaiah 6:9-10 citation in Mark 4:12 might have had on the interpretation and understanding of Mark 4:1-34 and the Gospel as a whole. The theory is that the citation in Mark 4:12, especially within Mark 4:1-34, is foundational for understanding the Markan gospel as a 'parable'. Moreover, the redactional inclusion of the concept of 'the Twelve' will prove to be a vital contribution in understanding the Markan gospel as a 'parable'. Arguing this theory will include evaluating the parable theory in Mark 4:10-12, followed by determining the interpretative effect the explicit citation in Mark 4:12 had on Mark 4:10-12 and its larger literary context (Mk. 4:1-34). This will be followed by concluding remarks and suggestions.
- What light does Matthew's use of Mark in Matthew 1-4 throw on Matthew's
theological location?
Abstract: This article approaches the issue of Matthew's theological context by examining Matthew's use of Mark, including through redaction and supplementation, in Matthew 1-4. This is undertaken in two parts: Matthew 1-2, which is largely additional material, and Matthew 3-4, followed by a concluding assessment. Issues addressed or alluded to in these chapters frequently find resonance in the remainder of Matthew's gospel and so give important clues about Matthew's concerns and their relevance for understanding its context. Such issues include the importance of messiahship; continuity with Israel, but also with John the Baptist and the Church; defence against slander; heightened christological claims; soteriology; Gentile mission; the status of Torah; and Jesus as judge to come. The article suggests a location within a Jewish religious context with a Jewish self-understanding, separate from the synagogue, but claiming to belong where its opponents would claim it did not; and a Christian tradition where the approach of 'Q' to Torah is upheld in contrast to Mark's, while embracing and expanding Mark's Christology and restoring the common understanding of Gentile mission as a post-Easter phenomenon.
- The material variance of the Dead Sea Scrolls: On texts and
Abstract: What does a sacred text look like? Are religious books materially different from other books? Does materiality matter? This article deals with three different aspects of material variance attested amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls, Ancient Jewish religious text fragments, of which were found in the Judean Desert. I suggest that the substitution of the ancient Hebrew script by the everyday Aramaic script, also for Torah and other religious texts, was intentional and programmatic: it enabled the broader diffusion of scriptures in Hellenistic and Roman Judea. The preponderant use of parchment for religious texts rather than papyrus may be a marker of identity. The many small scrolls which contained only small parts of specific religious books (Genesis, Psalms) may have been produced as religious artefacts which express identity in the period when Judaism developed into a religion of the book.
- The contribution of Qumran to historical Hebrew linguistics: Evidence from
the syntax of participial negation
Abstract: In this article we examine how Qumran Hebrew can contribute to our knowledge of historical Hebrew linguistics. The premise of this paper is that Qumran Hebrew reflects a distinct stage in the development of Hebrew which sets it apart from Biblical Hebrew. It is further assumed that these unique features are able to assist us to understand the nature of the development of Biblical Hebrew in a more precise way. Evidence from the syntax of participial negation at Qumran as opposed to Biblical Hebrew provides evidence for this claim.
- The memorable invention of the death of Jesus
Abstract: The death story of Jesus of Nazareth has traditionally been understood as a matter of historical fact. The various versions of the story would seem to confirm a documented death scene. Nevertheless, critical appraisals of this material have raised numerous questions regarding the passion story. This article considers how the very structure of the story is a vital clue to the way in which the death of Jesus was invented. The Jewish tale of the suffering and vindication of the innocent one provides the memory locus for discovering meaning in the fate of Jesus. We find that the basic fact of the death tale of Jesus is that it was a fiction, authorising further elaborations for those who understood the craft of memory.
- Theological imagination as hermeneutical device: Exploring the
hermeneutical contribution of an imaginai engagement with the text
Abstract: In the past, biblical scholarship has neglected the hermeneutical contribution that an imaginai engagement with the text may make. The author's aim in this article was to develop theological imagination as a hermeneutical device. This was done by briefly considering the concurrence in the hermeneutic contributions of three interpreters of biblical texts, with specific regard to their understanding of biblical imagination. These were Walter Brueggemann, Paul Ricoeur and Ignatius of Loyola. Their hermeneutical contributions concur in their understanding of a biblically informed imagination, and it is specifically this aspect of the concurrence of their thought that was explored. An illustration from Proverbs 14:27, which draws on the metaphor and biblical motif of the fountain or source of life, was put forward to demonstrate how the concurrence in the contributions of these biblical interpreters may influence an imaginal engagement with the text.
- Myth as metaphor
Abstract: Modern Christianity has failed to update its myths and has even eliminated them, thus, excluding the metaphysical experience indispensable to religion (Jung). Myths should be interpreted, not eliminated. Answering the question about how to interpret myths without eliminating them or their intended effect is the object of this paper. The study investigates the possibility of interpreting myths as metaphors, thus, in a non-literal way. Various definitions of metaphor and myth, and theories for their interpretation are discussed, with focus on their relationship to symbolic universes. Finally, a non-mythical symbolic universe structured by root-metaphors is suggested as a framework for the existential interpretation of mythical concepts in the New Testament.
- Ricoeur on myth and demythologising
Abstract: Since Jean Paul Gustav Ricoeur's passing away in 2005, there has been a significant international resurgence of interest in his work. Coming to grips with the sheer extent of Ricoeur's publications on a variety of subjects can leave one thoroughly perplexed. This is also true when investigating his views on myth and demythologisation. Numerous of his publications expound from various perspectives his insights on myth and its interpretation. This investigation proposes to bring together Ricoeur's extensive contributions on myth, its interpretation and demythologisation in order to present them in condensed form. This will pave the way for a future follow-up study to compare Ricoeur's perspectives to Bultmann's demythologisation program and consider combining their contributions for theological hermeneutics.
- A therapeutic community as a relevant and efficient ecclesial model in
African Christianity
Abstract: This article sets forth the argument that Christian ministry in Africa must become socially and culturally informed and constructed or else it will not touch the African soul and thus remain superficial. Black African people aspire above everything else to experience fullness of life and wellbeing here and now, as demonstrated by their greetings that are actually an enquiry into each other's health and an expression of the wish for the other's good health and wellbeing. The mainline churches that operate in Africa should embrace the scripturally sound Christian healing ministry in obedience to Christ's commission to preach the gospel and heal the sick, if they are to prosper. Hence, this article discusses the following eight points, namely, (1) good health and healing as Africans' important aspiration, (2) healing as the work of God and thus of the church, (3) the imperative of serious consideration of and respect for the African worldview, (4) membership decline and mainline churches' loss of influence, (5) rethinking church in African Christianity, (6) the need for the black African church to adopt a therapeutic or healing community ecclesial model in order to position itself strategically to cater for the holistic needs of African (South African) church members and surrounding communities, (7) the rationale of the healing ministry in today's Reformed Church in Africa and (8) the recommended healing ministry. The article closes with a few concluding statements and advice.
- Spirituality and healthcare: Towards holistic people-centred healthcare
in South Africa
Abstract: Healthcare in South Africa is in a crisis. Problems with infrastructure, management, human resources and the supply of essential medicines are at a critical level. This is compounded by a high burden of disease and disparity in levels of service delivery, particularly between public and private healthcare. The government has put ambitious plans in place, which are part of the National Development Plan to ward 2030. In the midst of this we find the individual person and their family and community staggering under the suffering caused by disease, poverty, crime and violence. There is a more than 70% chance that this person and their family and community are trying to make sense of this within a spiritual framework and that they belong to a faith-based community. This article explores the valuable contribution of spirituality, spiritual and pastoral work, the faith-based community (FBC) and faith-based organisations (FBOs) to holistic people-centred healthcare in South Africa.
- Calling, is there anything special about it?
Abstract: Within the Reformed tradition, 'calling' is a core concept. Often, this biblical verse is cited when a pastor is installed or a new candidate is ordained, 'The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it' (1 Th 5:24 NIV). It is also confessed within this tradition that all Christians are called to be faithful ministers of the graces of God in whatever profession they may serve. In some Presbyterian congregations, it is a practice to say at the baptism of a child, 'This is your ordination to ministry'. This article focuses on what is meant by calling when we use it in so many ways and with so many meanings. The first part explores the use of the concept in church history by different scholars and leaders - like in the Reformation. The second part briefly explores the implications and impact of the calling of someone into full-time congregational ministry.
- The reception of rhetorical elements in the Letter to Philemon by
Patristic exegetes
Abstract: The aim of this study is to offer an overview of the way in which Patristic exegetes interpreted the rhetorical aspects of Paul's Letter to Philemon. Although a rhetorical analysis of the letter was not the matter which interested them as such, one can still obtain a fairly good idea of the way in which they perceived such aspects by reading their explanations of this letter. Accordingly, the contributions of all the Patristic exegetes in this regard are studied systematically in this study. The interpretations of the letters by Ambrosiaster, Jerome, John Chrysostom, Pelagius, Theodore of Mopsuestia and Theodoret of Cyrus are investigated from this angle. In each case, the most important comments on Paul's rhetorical strategy are identified and discussed.

I can't believe how time flies. Even if it is only 2 weeks since I blogged last time it feels like one month. January has, this far, been a very busy month with lots of different activities and I have met a lot of new people.
It all started with how I one day wanted to organize some kind of gathering. I wanted to meet and get to know new people from other countries, people who are in my situation and that sometimes feel like it is hard to make new friends. So I joined a backpackers group on Facebook and asked if someone would be interested in having some kind of gathering some day. With almost 100 people interested I felt like I had to organize something. I chose a place and at what time to meet, and with 45 people coming to the gathering I must say that I was happy. Happy that people supported me in this, and happy that so many wanted to come and spend their time with me, an unknown girl from Sweden. With people texting me about how they missed out on my first gathering I just had to organize a second one. In the photo below a few of my new friends say hi.
Even if I live on the other side of the earth my parents still succeeded in sending me christmas presents. Two of the best ones Ive ever received. I can tell how happy I will be when I go to see Coldplay live in Sweden in June. Something that Ive wanted to do for years. Another christmas present I got was to go and swim with dolphins. I will do my best to explain to you how amazing it was. I went down south from Perth to Rockingham by bus and then we went by boat for about one hour until the dolphins started to come up to our boat. With the wetsuit and the snorkel on I was ready to jump into the sea and spend some of my lifetime with one of the most incredible creatures on earth. Dolphins were swimming under me, next to me, and all around me. It was so hard to keep my eyes and hands away from them. The oil we have on our skin does damage the dolphins' skin and they can get really sick. As soon as you have the possibility to see an animal that close, in its own surroundings and home, do not hesitate do do it. It really is amazing. I do remember once when I was7 years old and had to write a short story in school about which animal I would like to be if I was one. I wrote dolphin. If I would have to choose one today, it would still be the dolphin. It is not only beautiful and intelligent, it is also ver fast. It is as fast, if not faster, than the shark.
Two other things that I've done in the last week are snorkeling and cliff jumping. We went to one of all the beautiful beaches here in Perth and went straight out in the sea. It only took us half an hour until we saw a kind of shark, which was about 50 cm. Since it is not common to see sharks here in Perth it is very easy to forget that they actually do exist. Just the day before we went snorkeling we had gone cliff jumping in the big river that divides Perth in two different parts. What I did not think about at the time was that there are lots of sharks in the river. Luckily the do not attack often at all and the last time someone died from a shark attack in the river was in the 70's.
One last thing that I have to mention is how happy I am for the new friends Ive made lately. I spontaneously moved in to one of them one week ago, since she is doing housekeeping and wanted some company. I could not be more happy for knowing her. We are getting along so well and we can talk for hours, we like the same kind of food (she makes me eat very healthy), we like the same kind of movies and we like to to the same things. She has become like a sister from another mister to me. I do know that she does not like the picture of us below, but that is the only one I have for the moment. (Sorry Jana <3 )
To round up with something, I would like to say that I am having a really good time here in Australia and I wish I could have all of you here with me, to make you see all the things I do with your own eyes. I send lots of sun and big hugs from me in Australia, all the way home to you.
If you have any questions about Australia or my life here, just text me!

Night and Day Lyrics
Artist: Frank Sinatra
Album: Love Songs
Writer(s): Cole Porter
Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

As reported in the community, there were quite excitement about the open source of the pyVmomi, the Python equivalent of vijava API. It was heatedly debated whether to open source the API even when I was working at VMware years ago. One camp of people thought it should be open sourced and even supported as Web Service SDKs; while the other group didn't think it's mature and would cause a lot of trouble in so doing. So it didn't go anywhere in the past few years.
My company has created products like vSearch ("Super vCenter"), vijavaNG APIs, EAM APIs, ICE tool. We also help clients with virtualization and cloud computing on customized development, training. Should you, or someone you know, need these products and services, please feel free to contact me: steve __AT__ doublecloud.org.
Me: Steve Jin, VMware vExpert who authored the VMware VI and vSphere SDK by Prentice Hall, and created the de factor open source vSphere Java API while working at VMware engineering. Companies like Cisco, EMC, NetApp, HP, Dell, VMware, are among the users of the API and other tools I developed for their products, internal IT orchestration, and test automation.

How Organizations Perform Organizations are systems designed to achieve a goal or perform a particular function such as delivering a completed product to a customer. To illustrate our point, we will use a cafeteria analogy to describe the systematic nature of organizational processes. Although the organization asa whole is a system, it is also comprised of built-in subsystems and subprocesses. The subsystems and sub processes are designed to achieve the sub goals that are necessary to produce the overall output. For instance, the process of delivering the receipt to the customer is a sub process of the overall goal of the cafeteria.
To continue with our analogy, imagine yourself in line at a cafeteria. You come to the coffee urn and turn the spigot. Out comes some coffee. Presumably, when the liquid went into the machine, it was water—not coffee. When the coffee grounds were put into the machine, they weren't in consumable, drinkable form. The water and the coffee are the material "inputs" to the system called a coffee machine; the "output" is drinkable coffee. But someone had to add the water and the coffee grounds. This person is also an input. Furthermore, the machine will work properly only if these materials are added in the proper amount, in the proper place, and in the proper sequence. There is a technology for the machine and for making the coffee. That technology is a third vital "input" to the system. And after the machine is turned on, it takes a little time for the water to heat and the coffee to percolate;therefore, time is also an "input." So we have identified four necessary inputs to every system: material, people, technology, and time.
When you reach the end of the line, a cash register "outputs" an itemized bill for your meal—but it can do so only if the cashier "inputs" the prices. Later, when you decide you'd like another cup of coffee with dessert,you tell an attendant, who then brings that second cup to your table. The attendant provides an "output" in the same sense as the coffee machine or the cashier, but this output is different: It's a service rather than a product. The organizational processes are another component of the organizational systems. Processes represent the series of planned steps involved as an organization progresses toward its final output. The work performed within the system and subsystems transforms the inputs into outputs.
In that cafeteria, in rooms you can't see, some people create recipes and menus;others add up the bills to see how business is going and make sure that all funds are accounted for. These are the people who select the outputs, procure the materials, select the people, and establish the standards. These are the systems and subsystems of the overall processes of the cafeteria. Employees involved are called "managers" and have titles such as President, or Chief Executive Officer (CEO), or General Manager; there will be subsystems with managers for Sales, Manufacturing, Research and Development; there may even be someone called Training and Development Manager.
By definition, every system must have an output. The cafeteria must produce food; its coffee machine must make coffee; its cashier must collect money; the CEO must see that the cafeteria shows a profit. In the same way, the Sales Manager must produce advertisements and campaigns; these, in turn, produce customers. What does the Training and Development Department produce?

Marijuana Possession Charges
Marijuana is one of the most widely used illegal substances today, with many groups advocating for its legalization. Today, use of marijuana is legally allowed in some states and cities.
However, cannabis is still classified as a Schedule 1 drug under federal law, and the severity of a bust for marijuana possession may depend on who did the arresting and which laws were being enforced.
If you've been arrested on drug charges, it's important to know you legal rights and what options you have to fight the charge. Get peace of mind by speaking with a local criminal defense attorney. You can arrange a no-obligation consultation today by filling out the free case review form below right now.
Cannabis "Possession" Under the Law
Marijuana possession is considered a drug crime. "Possession" may include more situations than you think:
- Marijuana among your personal belongings, such as in your pockets, bag, purse or backpack
- Marijuana in your vehicle
- Marijuana in your home
- Marijuana paraphernalia, such as pipes or seeds, in your home, car or your belongings
In each of these instances, the law doesn't care who the marijuana belongs to. So if you someone brings marijuana into your house or leaves it in your car, even if wasn't "yours," you could still be charged with a drug crime.
Also, multiple people can "possess" the same marijuana. So if you are in a car with three friends, and there is marijuana in the car, in some cases all of you could face possession charges.
Marijuana Law
Marijuana law typically places marijuana into a sub-category of illegal drugs. In short, not all illegal drugs are equal, and possession of one may carry a harsher penalty than possession of another.
The actual drug charges brought with regard to marijuana possession will depend on the circumstances of your case. Also, drug possession may be one of several drug charges brought about by one arrest. If you are found with marijuana, you may be charged with:
- Possession: Sometimes classified as simple possession, this charge is associated with smaller amounts of marijuana.
- Intent to distribute: If you are caught with a certain amount of marijuana – above a limit set by the law – you could be charged with possession with intent to distribute even if you have done nothing but possess the drug. This charge is more serious than marijuana possession and comes with harsher penalties.
- Trafficking/transporting: Similar to intent to distribute, these charges are typically associated with larger amounts of marijuana and arrests made in-transit. For instance, if you are caught with pot in a car, on a boat or while trying to board a plane, you could be subject to trafficking laws.
- Possession of paraphernalia: This law adds additional charges to anyone found with marijuana paraphernalia. This could include pipes, seeds or any other equipment used to smoke, transport or grow marijuana.
- Cultivation: Growing marijuana, for personal use or for distribution, is against the law. Growing marijuana may bring about charges including possession, distribution and possession of paraphernalia.
- DUI and DWI: While most people think about alcohol when they think of driving under the influence, most states' DUI and DWI laws include provisions for anyone driving under the influence of marijuana.
- Weapons charges: If you are arrested for possession of marijuana you may also be subject to weapons charges that may not otherwise apply. For example, in some states a a person arrested for drug possession may be charged with possession of a weapon or the drug charge enhanced because of the presence of a weapon based on something as innocent as a baseball bat.
Keep in mind that these marijuana charges don't cancel each other out.
It is possible, for example, that one arrest could lead to charges of possession, possession of paraphernalia and DUI.
Also, the three-strikes law, in certain states, may affect your penalties.
An attorney can help you better understand your charges.
Marijuana Possession Penalties
Marijuana possession, like most drug crimes in the United States, is subject to harsh punishments. It's not uncommon for a drug sentence to include decades in prison.
The penalties for marijuana possession can vary depending upon whether you were charged at the state or federal level. Both jurisdictions contain mandatory minimum sentencing, which can be very serious.
Mandatory minimum sentencing means that if you are convicted of a crime, regardless of circumstances or your previous record, the judge has no choice but to hand down a particular sentence, often lengthy jail time.
Drug rehabilitation, coupled with expensive fines and court costs, is a common penalty for lesser marijuana charges and first-time offenders.
Marijuana Possession: A Criminal Defense Attorney Can Help You Protect Your Rights
Drug laws can seem strict and intimidating. And why not? The thought of a first-offender getting 20 years in jail isn't easy to stomach.
If you've been charged with marijuana possession or any drug crime, speak with an attorney near you today. A defense lawyer can stand up for you and help you protect your rights.
A marijuana possession conviction can affect you for the rest of your life. Don't leave this business in the hands of amateurs. A lawyer can tell you about your options for defending your case, and help you avoid costly mistakes. Find out if your marijuana arrest can be challenged. Contact a criminal lawyer today!

The Potential for Mobile Learning in English as a Foreign Language and Nursing Education
Davison, C. J.
International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conference on Mobile Learning (Lisbon, Portugal, Mar 14-16, 2013)
This paper investigates the application of mobile technologies to support learning in a specific field: nursing education for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, which is the context of the author's institution. Using a qualitative meta-synthesis methodology, factors from published literature that facilitates success in mobile learning for nursing education and EFL learners are explored. The gap between the m-learning ideals of designing of learning activities that leverage the capabilities of mobility across location, technology, conceptual space, social space and across formal or informal contexts (Sharples et al., 2009) and the published research in formal EFL language learning and nursing education are discussed.

Click on this link and follow the steps to register as a coach or manager for 2016-2017 hockey season.
The best way to communicate with the players/parents is through email and the website. A majority of the time you will receive emails from your teams coach or team manager. When they send an email out, it is meant to let you know important information regarding your team. To make sure that everyone receives the information in a timely manner, we need to make sure that all emails associated with your player are in your player's profile. By going into your profile, you can add emails to make certain that Mom, Dad, and the player (if they have email) will receive information. Below is a link to the NGIN Help. Click on the link and you should be brought to a webpage that has instructions for adding emails to your account.
***NOTE*** Make sure that you look at the "Contact Preferences" and that the email box is checked for Northern Lakes Lightning Youth Hockey Association. You will not receive emails from the association if it is not checked.
Another useful tool for getting information/schedules for your players team is the NGIN Sports App for your smart phones. The App is available for both iPhones and Droids. Go to your respective App page and query NGIN Sports App. Upload it to your phone and follow instructions from there. The App will allow you to follow one team for free. If you have players on two different teams, there is an annual subscription of $1.99. The App will have the teams schedule and game results among other things. If you have a Peewee, Bantam, or 12U, you will see that there are two teams to select from; one will be from the District 15 Website and the other from ours. If you want schedule information, you will need to pick the team from our site.

But the bottom line on a mournful Wednesday night in Wrigley Field was this: Led by rookie Miguel Cabrera's three-run homer and four RBI and carried down the stretch by the tireless arm of Josh Beckett, the Marlins beat the Cubs 9-6 to win Game 7 of the National League Championship Series.
"This team sticks together. ... We got lucky. We caught a break," said Beckett. "Things happen for a reason I guess.
"We're going to the World Series. It hasn't really sunk in yet."
And now the two teams go their separate ways. The Marlins to the World Series, a wild card as they were in the 1997 championship season, having become just the second team in 17 years to survive a 3-1 deficit in the postseason. The Cubs to a bitter winter, trying to deny curses in their restless sleep.
"I think I had a great bunch of players who just needed a little bit of direction," said Florida manager Jack McKeon, whose club opens at either New York or Boston on Saturday. "I told them if they worked hard, they'd be playing in October."
The hard work was evident Wednesday when the Marlins jumped ahead in the first on Cabrera's homer, fell behind 5-3, then charged back in front, knocking out Kerry Wood in the sixth inning with a 7-5 lead.
The final touches came from Beckett, on only two days' rest after his two-hitter in Game 5. Beckett worked four innings, retiring 12 of 13 batters, the only blemish a meaningless Troy O'Leary homer in the seventh. Combined with Brad Penny working before him and Ugueth Urbina in the ninth, they mowed down 20 of the last 22 Chicago hitters.
The Marlins became only the third visiting team to win in the last 16 Game 7s. For the sixth time this postseason, they came from behind for a victory. In the highest scoring LCS in history — 82 runs and 23 homers — they were constantly on the attack, outscoring the Cubs 21-9 the last three games.
All examples of their pluck and gall and toughness, which have been underappreciated amid all the Cubsmania.
"The difference is we played the game hard until the last out," said Series MVP Ivan (Pudge) Rodriguez, who drove in an NLCS-record 10 runs in the seven games. "I said to the team, 'don't give up, even if we've losing 10 to nothing.' You have to play the game hard nine innings."
It is Florida with the small budget, and wild-card status, with a 72-year-old manager recalled from his living room in May, and lesser known names in the lineup. Cabrera started the season in Class AA ball. How'd the Marlins end up the bad guys?
"I think we won over the hearts of a lot of people," said McKeon, in his eighth decade, but his first World Series as a manager.
As for the Cubs, Tuesday's meltdown — the eight Florida runs in the eighth, the fan sent a foul ball by fate — was the death of their chances. Wednesday was the funeral.
"We were close and the Marlins took it from us," said Cubs manager Dusty Baker, whose San Francisco Giants came five outs from winning the World Series last fall. "Sometimes you've got to look back and say at the end, they're better than us."
Game 7 could not have started more ominously for them. Desperately needing a fast start to get Tuesday's horror behind them, they were behind 3-0 after four batters, with Cabrera sending a shot into the left-field bleachers.
They needed Wood at his best, but instead got a struggling pitcher who was bouncing sliders in the dirt.
For Cabrera, it was his third home run of the series. No other rookie had ever hit more than one in an NLCS.
Wood finally got out of the inning, but needed 33 pitches to do it. The Cubs had thrived in this series by scoring early, with a 12-0 advantage in the first inning.
When this first inning ended, they were behind 3-0.
Wood's two-run homer tied the game in the second, and Moises Alou's two-run shot gave Chicago a 5-3 lead in the third.
Wrigley's fans were in noisy rapture. How could they know that only two more Chicago batters would reach base all night?
And Wood was not Wood. Not the fireballer who had blown through the early part of this month. He gave up three more runs in the fifth, scored by an Ivan Rodriguez double (his NLCS-record 10th RBI), a Cabrera grounder and a Derrek Lee single. In the sixth Wood was gone, the Cubs savior who could not save them.
Luis Castillo's infield hit off Kyle Farnsworth scored another in the sixth. Alex Rodriguez' double off Dave Veres scored two more in the seventh.
The Florida pitchers, especially Beckett, were using all the ballpark. The Cubs had six balls go to the warning track. Deep drives that only worsened the frustration. Their latest ghost story hurried to its final page, out by out.
"No one expected us to be in the World Series and here we go," Rodriguez said.
In the end, Florida remained perfect. The Marlins have never lost a postseason series, and are 4-0 in elimination games.
Meanwhile, the thousands of people standing outside went home, from a celebration that never happened. Wrigley Field, without a World Series now for 59 seasons, went dark for the year.
