Pauline letters make sure that the role of women in Jesus' time is not forgotten. In particular, Mary Magdelene is remembered. She is present in all of the synoptic gospels. She traveled with Jesus through Galilee. It is not exactly sure what Mary's relationship was with Jesus. In recent movies/books, (Da Vinci Code) it was suggested that they had a loving relationship. There is one woman who anoints Jesus in the gospels. Some scholars believe it was Mary Magdelene.
The Gospels sublty hint at the importance of women in the gospels. Many letters or writings have been changed to hide their importance. However, many women traveled with Jesus and even ministered to others. In class we learned that whenever a woman and the verb "to minister" is used, the translation is changed to "to serve." Now, to serve sounds more like waiting on someone, whereas minister sounds like religious work or healing is being employed. I think men have the upper hand with that translation.
Even though Jesus apostles were men, women traveled with Jesus, women gave their homes for his work, and some worked with Paul in his missionary work. Though women were important in Jesus' following, they were denied authority and downplayed throughout history.
In the times following Jesus death, women were allowed to study in the some of same philosophy schools that men were allowed. That meant that they were given the correct education and were allowed to have intellect, rather than emotion that 18th century men declared ruled woman's mind.
Paul declared that baptism made one born anew, or born again, like the gospel writing we read in our last form criticism. This meant slave, free, men women, jew, or gentile were destroyed and all that was left was who you were in the eyes of God. While women and men were created equal in this aspect, there was no social change that changed the status of men.
Today in the Church, women aren't allowed to be priests or deacons. How have we come so far away from the egalitarian kingdom Jesus once preached about? I have a feeling marriage will be allowed for male priests before women can bless or give homilies.

I chose WFP and poverty.com
WFP (World Food Program) Has a shocking statistic- one in six people are malnourished in the world. That's such a horrible statistic. It brings to life the reality of hunger in the world. WFP sets goals to eradicate this hunger in the world. Poverty.com views poverty as something that can be changed. There is enough food for people, but we fall short of distributing it all. How can we let people starve without having compassion? This site is trying to change ethnocentrically american views (that everyone can get food and water), and that some people really do need help. It's not always a populations fault if they are impoverished or starving. We need to aknowledge that people starve because of us, not them.
I liked that these sites aknowledged hunger, but i think there are more issues than food that people deal with on a day to day basis, especially in America where food is more acessible.
The type of poverty that I see in Game is lower middle class. These pre-teens live in low income or middle class families, and many receive free lunches. They are usually considered at-risk. We have a few bullies, and a few super shy people. By mixing all kinds of people from all walks of life, they can understand themselves and others better. Game is a good way of helping kids increase self esteem. Also, hanging out with these kids once a week keeps them out of trouble. Living in poverty greatly affects their day to day lives, including education. It makes education difficult, because their parents may not advocate it or think it's important. Also, at home, if their parents arent well educated, they can't help them with homework. Many end up at community college because their parents think they can't pay for private or public universities. It makes healthcare difficult because they can't pay for good medical insurance or go to the best hospitals. Living conditions are poor, if one can't pay bills, they can hardly furnish a house.
I think it is absolutely neccessary to increase awareness of poverty in Spokane. We don't neccessarily advertise "GAME" in the Spokane community. If more programs like this were readily available, we might be able to improve the lives of hundreds of teens in America. I think it is important to attempt to live in solidarity with others. I think GAME is a good program to see poverty close up, and work alongside it to help change attitudes, so GAME mentees can view the world as more friendly and accessible.
When I think about people in poverty, i think of the woman that was so poor, but gave her last two cents to the collection plate. i think if people were more willing to give of themselves, we could more easily destroy hunger and poverty. If people were willing to give services, time, and money to important causes, we could change the world.

Reflection Paper #5 Paul's Letters
Paul is an interesting addition to the New Testament. His letters were to friends, and brothers and sisters in Christ around 45-50B.C. The purpose of his letters were to educate about Jesus and evangelize different types of people living shortly after Christ's death. Chapter 13 in Ehrman attempts to decode Thessalonians 1 so we can better understand Pauline letters. The letter Thessalonians was written to the peope of Thessalonica, smack in the center of Macedonia.
Paul isn't what we would consider a prophet in modern times; standing in the middle of times square handing out bibles. No, he visited Jews where they worshipped in cities. Out of some sort of goods shop, he sold useful things while preaching good deeds and about the gospels. It was difficult to convert others at those times because Greco-Roman religions didnt' mind if one took part in other religions. However, there were some very strict philisophies in Greco-Roman times as well-stoic and cynic, which preached to rid oneself of dependency on material things. So one would place dependency on things that are unchangeable. Cynics took this ideology to an extreme and regected social concepts as well. It could have been easy to convert a stoic to christianity since one's belief in God can remain constant and inchangeable. However, a cynic might be less inclined to follow Christ because of the belief that religion is a human need.
Those that visited Pauls shop could have been pagans or polytheistic. So his message was not what we would consider a "bible thumper"'s message. We have some ideas of what his message could have been-to give up false idols, and that his God was monothestic. Then he threw a curveball-there is another part of God, Jesus' son. It probably wasnt a foreign concept to have two Gods, but to make the two Gods one was probably confusing to most Greco-Romans who knew polytheism to be true. Paul also stressed in his letters the importance of the crucifixion, that God died to rid us of our sins, and therefore we are forgiven. Paul also made sure that his followers knew of the apocalypse. This was a great way to get people to rethink their lives before they were "doomed to eternal damnation".
Pauls letters are sent to groups of people, rather than individuals. Ehrman points out that this means it's likely that groups of people met together in small gatherings or churches. Since there weren't official christian churches yet, they might have met secretly in someone's home. Ehrman says it could have been like other guilds at the time, such as trade organizations. All associations at these times had certain codes/rules they had to abide by. Most associations were a life-insurance like association where they planned to have members of the association buried according to the association. They also did social things together. These associations normally had fees involved. Christian communities activities might have been leading the groups in discussion. Because the groups met illegally, they were very tight knit.
The secret societies were constantly under pressure, being criticized by many and accused of perverted allegations. The christians were questioned about their sexual desires, therefore Paul wrote to the thessalonian Christians to stay pure.
Paul started to worry that Jesus wasn't coming back. The Thessalonians had little to hope for. However, he had the idea of a 3 story universe. God is in the highest story, we are on the earth (2nd) and those who have died are below us (1st story). He promised, like Jesus, that the dead would be raised and would be with God;
Paul was coined as the apostle of the Gentiles. He stuck to those who knew little abut Judaism and taught them a new world of ideas. He gave them hope in a world of turmoil and confusion.

The Politics of Jesus
First, the Politics of Jesus talks about a few of the misunderstandings between liberals and conservatives. The author compares today's battles between both sides to that of the Salem Witch Trials. Verbal fights in the name of God have escalated to violent wars through vandalism and protests. The author points out that conservatives are the "worst" players. Conservatives also have more power than liberals, they've been around longer and dominate political establishments. One of these establisments is the Heritage Foundation, which i ordered a free copy of the constitution from. So not only do these foundations have money, they have the means of media to reach people.
There is a miscommunication in the politcal world that "liberals and liberalism" are at fault for the flaws in america. In fact, the words liberals and liberalism are very different terms. Liberalism is an ideology that pertains to a more republican characteristic. Liberalism pertains more to freedom from government,which is an old republican ideology.
Conservatism is also an ideology. There are two different types of conservatism: Moral and political. Moral has to do with the purging of sins. These sins included adultery, murder, and occasionally the subjeccts of homosexuality, abortion. Political conservatism has to do with spending less money and having less regulations from the country, and more regulations that have to do with local levels.
Jesus was about liberal politics, and moral conservatism. That is, he wanted to give more money and more freedom to the poor while remaining ethical, doing good deeds, etc.
Liberals are often viewed as child and family hating. They want more taxes and to spend more money. They are portrayed to republicans as a crime to society. They are viewed as Christ-haters. When conservatives make these demeaning remarks, they aren't acting as Christ did. How can they cover their attacks as defending christ when Christ's biggest teaching was to love others as you love yourself? Some conservative preachers followed suit, asking not to make peace with enemies, but to continue hating them.
Classes in society directly contradict Jesus' teaching. However this is a conservative ideology:that classes must exist to have a well balanced government.

SL Blog #2
The people I am serving are mentees from 7th grade to sophomore year in high school. Glover is located in the Northwest and Northtown neighborhoods. Therefore, the mentees come from two different areas in Spokane. They are generally of lower middle class backgrounds. Communities in Schools runs GAME. Communities in schools is a program that actually works. Because of CIS, there are fewer dropouts. At this moment, 1/3 kids in spokane drop out. CIS is all about having mentors for young people. They believe young people need mentors in their life, to promote "student success." -cis website. Mentors help raise the self esteem, promote team spirit, and motiviate the students that they can put their mind to.
POV: I don't really understand why I'm here. My teachers talked to my parents about how I act with other students. Going to GAME on Wednesday nights are such a waste of time. We play dodge ball every week. I mean, I guess I do pick on other kids alot... I feel like i have to prove something to others, so I put up a front. I really wish I could be like the Gonzaga athletes. They are so cool. Sometimes they get mad at me for saying mean things to other people. Maybe I should listen. I'm not doing too well in school either. They say that's why I'm here. School is not fun... But I guess I'll have to stay put if i want to go to GU... Its really hard at home sometimes. My parents fight alot. I'm scared sometimes. I guess its nice to get away for a few hours a week. Maybe I won't skip GAME this time..
There is a need for an older role model in the lives of glover middle students. Many of them are chosen to be in game because they are at-risk. This may be with their families, how they interact with other people, or because they are not doing well academically. One in three Spokane students drop out. CIS is a program that actually reduces the rate of drop outs. When us mentors show kids how the mentors behave, the mentees want to follow that example simply on the premise that we are older. We can make a difference in their lives by showing them how to work with others, and how they can succeed.
Blessed are the young, for they are the future of the earth.

Crimes and Misdemeanors

RELI120
Movie Paper #1
Crimes and Misdemeanors
The film Crimes and Misdemeanors was written by Woody Allen, and was released in the 1980’s. In Crimes and Misdemeanors, the characters Ben and Judah Rosenthal have different views of God and His/Her role in the universe. These different ideas of God affect how they carry out their lives.
The characters Judah and Ben have different images of God. Judah views God as a judge, while Ben views Him/Her as King. Over the years, Judah has become less religious, and more involved in his work and his money. Judah distances himself from God, because doesn’t know how to communicate with Him/Her. He has spent the latter half of his life focusing on everything but God, and therefore is out of touch with Him/Her. Judah is so distant from God, and therefore views him as a judge. Because Judah is sinful, God seems further away from him than He might to Ben. Judah has a pessimistic view of God. The only contact Judah has had in his life to God is when he is sinful. The only God Judah knows is judgmental and makes Judah feel like he is a horrible person. For Judah, the role of God is to be a conscience, and make people remember their actions.
Bens image of God is very different from Judah’s. Ben views God as King because it is all he knows. As a religious man, God consumes his life. God is his life and profession. As a rabbi, Ben is in contact, in person or while preaching, with many people on a daily basis. He helps them reevaluate their lives and their faith journey. He is a counselor to Judah when he is in need. He lays the law down for Judah and gives him advice to look for what is long lasting and self sustaining rather than the quick, temporary. This advice is much like his life. He has chosen to follow the kingdom of God on earth, rather than deal with the impermanence of human tradition. Because he is involved in his city via his synagogue he has a community. His faith brings him closer to others, and helps him think of the world as a warm, welcoming place. In the middle of New York, it is difficult for one to feel as if they are making a difference in the lives of others. Ben has an optimistic view of God because God has brought many people together in such a large area. He thinks the role of God is to bring everlasting hope, rather than the transient glimmers that the world has to offer.
Judah and Ben’s images of God directly affect how they live their lives. Judah specifically turns further from society because he is far from God. Judah is Jewish, and was raised in a very religious family. However, his family also has conflicting ideas. He has different input from his brother and father about how he should live. His brother is a humanistic idealist, and seems to be atheistic, while his father is religious and believes in tradition. This influences Judah to keep away from religion. Judah is under a pressure from his Brother to get into the real world, and pressure from his father to be righteous so he can go to heaven. Judah’s father tells him that “The eyes of God are always watching”. The thought that God is watching, is constantly brought up in the movie. The recurring thought reveals how guilty Judah feels about his actions. These opposite ideals are the battle that goes on in Judah’s mind throughout the movie. When he struggles with whether to commit a sin or not, he thinks back to his Father’s teaching. Because Judah is so distant from God, he sees the world through dog eat dog eyes. This competition makes him bury his nose in his work. He is so involved with his work and his money that he doesn’t consider the consequences of his actions. He chooses to fall in love with another woman, to mix up his mundane life. Maybe if had a good influence in his life he might think to consider the results of each small action that leads him further from the Kingdom of God. It also leads him further away from the world. Unlike Ben, who people depend on, Judah can more easily seclude himself. Sure, he may help the sight of some people, but he doesn’t have many close friends from his work. He doesn’t even know Ben that well when he confides in him. Rather than making a profound difference on the lives of others like Ben, Judah becomes reclusive and rejects the world entirely. He is pessimistic about God. The life Judah lives brings him further away from others.
It is ironic that Judah is an ophthalmologist, yet is ignorant of the consequences of his actions. At the same time, Ben is blind, but desires to positively impact the people around him with his faith and counsel. Woody Allen could have placed this metaphor in the movie to show that even the most prosperous of people have tragic flaws.
Judah and Ben live different lives because of their ideas about God. They have different places for God in their lives. Judah drifts away from God, while Ben finds God in everyday life.
The universe is what we make of it. Like Judah and Ben, we are conditioned by their parents, faith, or environment to view the world in different ways. The universe is what we make out of it. I think parts of it are fantastic, and others are unfamiliar and unfriendly. For example, I love Gonzaga University. When I leave my phone on a table, someone will tell me I dropped it. People smile here, and open the door for you. It is small enough where friendly faces can be seen everywhere. When I visited my brother in New York, I was scared out of my mind—it was a completely different story. He lived in Williamsburg when I visited him, which was very secluded from the big island, and very industrial looking. The city itself was shocking—the people looked like scenery because there were so many! In the hustle and bustle of daily life in New York, how is it possible for one to think of others? So I believe it depends where we choose to live. The universe is full of good and evil, and we have to find the place that suits us best. We can examine the role of God in our lives and try to let God positively affect our lives.

Game is Gonzaga Athletes Mentoring for Excellence. We work with kids in middle school, playing games from 7-9pm. We help build self confidence and give them a safe place to hangout after dark. There is a wednesday group and a tuesday group. I go to the wednesday group, where we work at Glover Middle School.
Sunday, GAME had an orientational meeting. There were a bunch of us college kids learning about a few games to play. It was hillarious. i'm pretty sure i had more fun than i should as a young adult. First we played "on the creek, on the bridge" we would stand on one side of a rope and when our director said on the creek/bridge we would hop over. We played another game where five people stood up in the front and one would turn around and start telling a story until another person turned around and began- so me and 4 other people told embarassing stories about ourselves that were cut up into different times. it was hillarious!
So wednesday was my first day at GAME. It was so much fun! There were more mentors than mentees, which was a bummer but it was still a lot of fun. We played this game where one person would flip a coin and when i twas heads, they would squeeze the thumb of te person next to them, and create this chain reaction. Two lines tried to get to a koosh ball first. Then we had free time, so I reffed a sweet game of ping pong and played Jenga. Then we had this ultimate game of dogeball-which was the best game we played. We would run around and when we got hit with a ball, we would sit down untill the person who got us out was out. This was such a good system because everyone got to play for a longer period of time. Game was really fun. I can't wait to get to know the kids and make GAME a staple in my weekly activities.
