This is an annotated interpretation of Shakespeare’s HAMLET, in the form of a historical novel. It presents events from before the play opens, narrates and interprets the dialogue and speeches of Shakespeare’s Hamlet itself, and fills in gaps in Shakespeare’s plot. 675 endnotes, as well as the added fictional text, explain the difficulties of HAMLET and make what seems inconsistent or contradictory as consistent as possible.
the book of most of her other writings after Science & Health was written in the early 1870s. Reminder * Science & Health stands is basically a memorial to Abraham Lincoln and the Union Army and the saints of the US Civil War.
Like "Leaves of Grass," this book of poems is an organic compilation of 30+ years of writing, with more being added as my life churns on.
Abstract Somewhere beyond trying harder, and just before giving up, there is a sacred place of grace to be discovered, personally and corporately. God called me homeward, near to the place of my birth and upbringing, to find it. Located among the marginalized of society on the southeast side of the city of Welland, Ontario, Canada, is 36-year-old Christ Community Church. In the aftermath of successive short-term pastorates which ended badly and included an exodus of members in 2005, amid the further economic decline of a once prosperous manufacturing city of 50,000 people, the ministry then 26-years-old was in crisis. With the support of Classis Ontario a specialized Interim Minister was hired for the purpose of discerning whether the church could be revitalized. I accepted the “Call” to serve as its Pastor in June of 2006. It was then that a journey of transformation began. This is a story of dependency on the grace of God. The Apostle Paul describes it in 2 Corinthians 12:9 “But he (the Lord) said to me ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’” It is a story that affirms and challenges traditional ecclesiology. It affirms the importance of learning from others in our family of churches through documents such as Transformed and Transforming. Yet, this story challenges traditional ecclesiology with regard to the expectation of self-sufficiency and self-sustainability. It is a story of a small Canadian Church in a hurting place that is being transformed by and with the marginalized people in its context, all the while being dependent upon the grace of God and all of the partners God provides for its own existence. Here the marginalizing factors are poverty, addictions, and mental health challenges. The contribution of this case study to the greater church and her ministry is that it provides a long term perspective of the formation of a missional church within a unique marginalized context. It also provides a marginalized ecclesiology that may serve to balance a traditional ecclesiological system based upon the Belgic Confession, Article 29, The Marks of the True Church, thereby making a unique contribution to the fulfillment of the great commission in the work we share.
