This year marks 700 years since Dante’s death, and this week’s Church Times (10 September) includes features by Robin Ward and Alexander Faludy, as well as several reviews of books published to mark the anniversary.

In a review of Dr Vernon’s book, Jonathan Boardman describes it as a “detailed and immensely thoughtful commentary. . . His personal experience as a psychotherapist and student of philosophy, polished further with physics, theology, and ordination, opens . . . a very special reflective door into Dante’s thinking and expression: its dreamlike design is peppered constantly with personal experience and knowledge.”

Crux Fidelis
Gregorian Chant (Sacred Scripture)
Consortium Vocale / Alexander Schweitzer

Gregorian chant, in its all-embracing spirituality and poetry, appeals to the deeper levels of the human heart. Monks in the Middle Ages composed and performed this music as an integrated part of their daily occupation with Sacred Scripture. Throughout the centuries Gregorian chant has enriched and deepened the liturgy of the church, and has been a source of inspiration in every period of European music history. Under the leadership of Alexander M. Schweitzer, Consortium Vocale presents chants from the five Sundays of Lent, Palm Sunday and Good Friday, recorded in the medieval church at Ringsaker in Norway.

Aramaic Rendition Of The Our Father

From the book: THE SEA AROUND US back cover

Published in 1951, The Sea Around Us, is one of themes remarkably successful books ever written about the natural world. It sold well over a million copies, has been translated into 28 languages, inspired an Academy Award-winning documentary, and won both the 1952 Nation Book Award and the John Burroughs Medal. 

The classic work remains as fresh today as when it first appeared. Carson's writing teams with stunning, memorable images—the newly formed Earth calling beneath an endlessly overcast sky; the centuries of nonstop rain that created the oceans; giant squid battling sperm whales hundreds of fathoms below the surface; and incredibly powerful times moving 100 billion tons of water daily in the Bay of Fundy. Quite simply, she captures the mystery and allure of the ocean with the compelling blend of imagination and expertise.

This Special Edition features a new chapter written by Jeffrey Levinton, a leading expert in marine ecology, who brings the scientific side of The Sea Around Us completely up to date. Levinton incorporates the most recent thinking on continental drift, coral reefs, the speed of the ocean floor, the deterioration of the oceans, mass extinction of sea life, and many other topics. In addition, acclaimed nature writer Ann Swinger has contributed a brief foreword.

The late Rachel Carson was for many years a marine biologies and then editor-in-chief of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. She was also the author of Silent Spring, Under the Sea Wind and At the Edge of the Sea.

Jeffrey Levinton teaches at the state University of New York at Stony Brook and is the author of Marine Ecology.
Ann Swinger is the author of A Desert Country Near the Sea, Beyond the Aspen Grove and Run, River, Run.

THE SEA AROUND US by Rachel Carson Preface To 1961 Edition by Ann Zwinger

From The Sea Around Us, Chapter 1.1

Is about Mother Sea, The Grey Beginnings.

And the Earth was without form, and void; and Darkness was upon the face of the Deep. GENESIS

The Sea Around Us, by Rachael Carson 1.1

I value experimentation in my creative process. I engage with materials that ignite my imagination. Visions and fantasy play a role in my creative process. I collaborate with other artists and work with ideas on public art projects that positively effect people and communities. Additionally I use typography and graphic design elements in my work. I believe words are alive—imbued with thousands of years of meaning. Letters express their own kind of symbology and speak to every person uniquely. My inspiration to create comes from my Catholic Orthodox Faith, family, nature, community, and current contemporary issues that inspire me.
