&#13;
"Towards a Quaker View on Television"&#13;
&#13;
For this viewer, one of the most striking things about "Meeting Point" on BBC Television last Sunday night, when Towards a Quaker View of Sex was discussed, was the attitude of the unnamed consultant psychiatrist who appeard in the programme with Kenneth Barnes and Anna Bidder under the chairmanship of Paul Ferris of The Observer.&#13;
&#13;
To some extent the course of the discussion was predictable. It ws to be expected--and faith--enough that Paul Ferris should select some of the more controversial points of the essay and invite Anna Bidder and Kenneth Barnes to justify to expand them. On behalf, as it were, of orthodox morality, he asked the awkward (and occasionally irritating) questions that are best designed to draw out the "victims" in such programmes. It was to be expecte4d, too, that Kenneth Barnes and Anna Bidder would stick firmly and fearlessly to their views and expound them soberly and well.&#13;
&#13;
The unknown quantity was the unnamed psychiatrist; and many Friends must have been gratified, and some others perhaps reassured, to hear him speak highly of the essay. That a group, however unofficial, of any religious body should produce  such a document had clearly impressed him. "Most encouraging" and "extremely valuable" were among the words he applied to it.&#13;
&#13;
Kenneth Barnes explained at the beginning of the programme that he and Anna Bidder were speaking for themselves and could not commit the Society. Many listeners presumably would disagree strongly with some or much of what was said, but every thoughtful viewer must, one feels sure, have been impressed by the forthrightness and thoughtful sincerity of our Friends who said it. The broadcast will have increased, not diminished, in many home the respect in which the society is held.                       &#13;
                                                                                                                                                            C.H.&#13;
&#13;
The essay had a good press, in the sense that it was given a great deal of space in the newspaperes. The authors must indeed have been encouraged by the attention given to it by the more responsible papers.  The Observer last Sunday gave rather more than a column to an account which, after quotations from the report, included a brief interview with Anna Bidder and quoted the reaction of a number of Churchmen. The Rev. John Huxtable, Principal of New College, London, was quoted as saying that he thought the eesay  "too muddle-headed to do any real good" and that "most Quakers I know are likely to be pretty scandalised by it." The pamphlet was welcomed by the Archdeacon of London, the Ven. George Appleton, although he felt that the section dealing with the "triangular situation" was ambiguous.&#13;
&#13;
The Sunday Times gave a column summary to the repirt, but spoiled some fair and objective treatment by publication of a little article entitled "The Two Voices of the Quakers" which, though perhaps intended to be complimentary, gave a somewhat curious impression of Quakerism and Friends' ways of conducting business. Friends will, no doubt, have realised that it was based upon a reporter's misunderstanding of a conversation by telephone with George Gorman (in which it was made quite clear that the essay would not be the subject of discussion at the forthcoming Yearly Meeting). Many of the ideas and expressions in the article were obviously not those that an experienced Friend would hold or use of the Society.&#13;
&#13;
The Guardian last Monday gave about 500 words to the essay; The Times rather less. The Daily Mail, in addition to a half column summary, made the pamphlet the subject of its front-page column of "Comment". The comment was not profound. The following day the Mail had a cartoon by Emmwood, and an article by Monica Furlong, "Why I'm on the Side of the Quakers," in which the pamphlet was strongly defended.&#13;
Almost without exception these reports contained an explanation that the essay was the work of an unofficial group of Friends and not an official statement of the Society. This accorded with a prefatory note in the pamphlet itself, which states:&#13;
&#13;
The Literature Committee of the Friends Home Service Committee has been glad to publish Towards a Quaker View of Sex for the group of Friends which prepared it, as a contribution to thought on an important subject. The views expressed are those of the authors, and do not necessarily reflect the attitude of the Friends Home Service Committee or of the Religious Society of Friends."</text>

&#13;
Page 2: "GLIDE IS A TRUST AGREEMENT. Farsighted Lizzie Glide established Glide Foundation in 1929 to serve the people of San&#13;
Francisco - especially in the Tenderloin. &#13;
The trust agreement provides for "an evangelistic center at the&#13;
corner of Taylor and Ellis" the name of which would include&#13;
"Glide Memorial" and "Church." Prior to 1962, Glide Memorial&#13;
Methodist Church fulfilled this trust requirement. That year&#13;
Glide Urban Center was established as the second part of the&#13;
Glide Foundation program. Soon thereafter new organizations&#13;
related to Glide Urban Center joined the Methodist congregation&#13;
in operating out of the Glide building at Taylor and Ellis.&#13;
New groups which gather at Glide include Citizens Alert which&#13;
deals with police harassment and brutality, Intersection which&#13;
is a meeting of artists and churchmen, and The Council on&#13;
Religion and the Homosexual.&#13;
Glide's trust agreement also requires Glide "to train Christian&#13;
workers." One of Glide's most effective training enterprises is&#13;
its intern program. Each year from five to ten laymen and seminarians train for innovative ministries.&#13;
Another purpose of Glide, as stated in the trust, is "to forward&#13;
Protestant Christianity in the city."&#13;
While the income from the Glide trust provides the basic income&#13;
for Glide's budget, contributions from members and friends&#13;
provide Glide with the financial latitude needed to free a staff&#13;
for service to urban people and for new forms of ministries to&#13;
new "congregations." Contributions by Glide's members also&#13;
support the worldwide mission program of The Methodist&#13;
Church."&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
Page 4: "GLIDE IS A STAFF-AND A SMALL ARMY. Glide's trustees have chosen to employ a staff to formulate and administer program. The staff, headed by Lewis Durham, includes Donald Kuhn, Ted McIlvenna, Ed Peet, Lloyd Wake and Cecil Williams. Each has unusual educational credits and diverse experiences.&#13;
Members of Glide's staff have succeeded in identifying themselves with all sorts of minority groups and grass-roots urban populations - and from time to time have succeeded in helping overlooked people to participate in determining the directions the city will move. As a result, many people - including both church-goers and non-church-goers-identify with Glide, ask for help, offer to help, and become an integral part of the mysterious entity everyone finds easy to call simply, "Glide." Consequently the Glide staff regularly hears about people who have "represented Glide" in ways not specifically preferred by either Glide's trustees or staff.&#13;
Everywhere a person turns in San Francisco, there is someone&#13;
present from Glide. The small army sometimes openly says it&#13;
belongs to Glide. But often, without mentioning Glide, it quietly&#13;
works to attain justice, freedom and reconciliation in one of the&#13;
most bureaucratically entangled cities in the Western World.&#13;
While Glide Memorial Methodist Church has only 300 members,&#13;
Glide has thousands of important supporters-the unnamed&#13;
people who make San Francisco a great place to live-because&#13;
they live here."&#13;

&#13;
Page 6: "GLIDE IS A MYSTIQUE. Ask anyone from Glide to explain what Glide is and he or she will smile in silence before trying.&#13;
Glide is many things to many people.&#13;
In the middle of the San Francisco race riots of 1966, Glide was&#13;
inside the riot area working with rioters and outside the riot&#13;
helping news media know where to obtain the latest news and&#13;
also interpreting the action to "the city fathers."&#13;
In the puzzling Haight-Ashbury scene, Glide championed the&#13;
"love generation" with police, park and health departments;"&#13;

"opened its facilities for multi-media happenings and for free&#13;
dinners on Thursday nights.&#13;
Everywhere you turn Glide seems to be there, identifying with&#13;
creative change. Its strategies and tactics vary from situation to&#13;
situation but it is there.&#13;
Also Glide seems always beyond comprehension because it&#13;
changes so often and so much. Glide's trustees and staff members read their newspapers each morning with eager anticipation to find out what Glide has done. Each knows that behind at least one headline Glide is at work. For instance, Glide intern Ed Hansen and his associates broke into headlines to announce a large number of pill-heads and prostitutes - male and female - who gathered in the Tenderloin. This entire new sub-culture came as a surprise to many connected with Glide. Before long Glide was sponsoring Sunday evening meetings at Chuckers, an infamous hang-out nearby, and was providing a room for dances for the youth. All of this is accepted now. The Chuckers meetings have ended and the dances are no longer housed at Glide. Hundreds of similar stories of newsworthy breakthroughs could&#13;
be listed."&#13;
&#13;
Page 8: "GLIDE IS A STATEMENT OF FAITH. In a thousand ways, Glide says the city belongs to God-and all who dwell therein. God&#13;
is at work in the events of the city - and God speaks to the city's&#13;
people through those events.&#13;
Glide is the church of Jesus Christ. The identification is clear.&#13;
The work of Glide is to claim the city for Christ-in the many&#13;
languages of the city.&#13;
Glide, firmly rooted on the Bible and church history, continues&#13;
the ministries of the church; struggles with the meaning of the&#13;
church-congregation and membership; offers the sacraments;&#13;
and works in most of the processes of city life- public education,&#13;
the arts, economic development, housing, the poverty program, and mental health.&#13;
Worshippers from the many Glide related congregations as well&#13;
as international visitors gather each Sunday for worship which&#13;
is a mixture of the contemporary and the traditional. Memorable&#13;
Sundays have featured community organizer Saul Alinsky as&#13;
preacher, the John Handy jazz ensemble, a local folk-rock group,&#13;
and local dance troops. Usually the preacher is Glide's own&#13;
A. Cecil Williams."&#13;

Tenderloin Ministry: A 'Secularized' Church Pursues Its Mission In Unorthodox Causes: San Francisco Homosexuals Helped by Glide Methodist; Some Members Unhappy - Is Big City God's Creation?&#13;
By: Howard Merry, Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal&#13;
"SAN FRANCISCO — The church holds "soul jigs''-rock 'n' roll concerts-in its sanctuary. It sponsors a retreat for clergymen and homosexuals, a dance for male prostitutes. It hands out $1,000 to hire Negro gang leaders as "peace monitors" to help quell a race riot.&#13;
"We have to come to grips with the world the way it is," says the Rev. Cecil Williams,&#13;
one of the church's ministers. Another, the Rev. Lewis Durham, adds: "If we hide, deny,&#13;
or refuse to engage and be reborn into this new kind of world, then in fact we refuse&#13;
I to participate in God's work." &#13;
The church is San Francisco's Glide Memorial Methodist. Once it was a bulwark of&#13;
conservative, Southern-based Protestantism. Now it is in the vanguard of an often controversial movement to bridge the wide gap between respectable, church-going society and the rootless, sometimes angry folks who popu-late rundown big-city neighborhoods. Those include the destitute aged and wayward young-sters, hipsters and homosexuals, drug addicts and resentful minority groups.&#13;
The "Secularizatlon" Trend&#13;
This movement is part of a wider trend called "secularization," and few religious denominations have escaped its influence entirely. Even in well-to-do suburbs, ministers open basement expresso coffee houses to attract young people who otherwise wouldn't be caught dead in church. The clergy is a major source of recruits for the civil rights movement, and some of the most outspoken criticism of the Vietnam war comes from the pulpit.&#13;
At Glide, secularization has developed to an extraordinary extent. Few other churches&#13;
have so wholly committed themselves to invo1vement with the secular world, and few have so deeply focused on the specific ills of urban life. But Glide is especially suited to take on the job it has set out for itself.&#13;
Glide has a generous endowment from its now dead benefactor, the widow of a rich&#13;
businessman and owns a profitable San Francisco hotel. It has a broad charter that gives its trustees and ministers sweeping freedom of action. Its membership numbers only a few middle-class families (partly because of its controversial activities). On an average Sunday, three-quarters of the congregation consists of out-of-town guests from nearby San Francisco hotels.&#13;
In the Tenderloin&#13;
Finally, its pink Spanish-style building is strategically situated at the edge of San Francisco's Tenderloin. district, a neighborhood notorious for prostitution, drunkenness, drug addiction, and violent misbehavior. The Tenderloin's 20-odd blocks, glutted with dowdy hotels and apartments, musty stores, "gay" bars, sailors hangouts and cheap diners, offer an ample supply of human misery for Glide to deal with.&#13;
Not everyone connected with Glide has been happy with the direction the church has taken. Mr. Williams figures that between 20% and 40% of the members it had three years ago, when it started its programs, have departed. A former parishioner complains, "It has gotten into things the church has no business being involved with; it negates the religious experience you expect from your church.''&#13;
If spurned by some laymen, Glide's activities seem to have met with at least tacit&#13;
approval from the Methodist hierarchy. The bishop of California is one of Glide's trustees.&#13;
Glide's "mission" isn't easily labeled. Partly, the ministers say, it is "catalytic";&#13;
when they discover what they believe is an unfilled need, they try to interest and organize others in meeting it. Essentially, they"&#13;
&#13;
Page 11: Article from page 10 continued.&#13;
"say, their job is to apply Christian ideals of charity to urban problems.&#13;
"In the cities today, the1se is a tremendous need to get people working together again," says Mr. Durham. "All the factions - unions, businesses, political parties, civil rights groups and those who resist them-have learned how to stand each other off, so we're at a standstill."&#13;
A Hand in Politics&#13;
Sometimes, Glide involves itself in politics. Last summer, along with other churches, it&#13;
used what influence it could muster to help secure the appointments of two members of the San Francisco Board of Education. The two, Laurel Glass and Alan Nichols, were&#13;
given Glide's support because they were committed to "quality and equality" in public education, says the Rev. Donald L. Kuhn, Glide's director of communications.&#13;
Glide's ministers are especially concerned about homosexuality. It is widespread in San Francisco. Police estimate that 80,000 to 90,000 San Franciscans, or more than 10% of the city's 790,000 people, are homosexuals.&#13;
Glide permitted the Vanguards, a group of young male prostitutes, to have a dance&#13;
in the church. Glide also has made office space available to the Vanguards, helped them secure a clubroom, and bought them furniture.&#13;
"We were the only ones who would respond to the needs of these people," says Mr.&#13;
Williams. "If you make yourself available to people, there's got to be a complete commitment. A commitment just to help those it's easy to help is hypocritical."&#13;
Glide ministers haven't tried to "reform" the homosexuals. But Mr. Durham says some&#13;
have responded to the sympathetic treatment they have received. "One fellow who was really struggling with his sexual identity has gotten married and found a job," he says. "Two or three have joined the church. Some who have gotten away from the kind of life they were leading have even come back to help those still caught up in it.''&#13;
Skeptics suggest that the homosexuals are taking advantage of Glide, an assertion that&#13;
Mr. Durham concedes is a "very real possibility." He adds, however: "We have to put&#13;
ourselves in a vulnerable position so that we can be used to meet people's needs." Whatever else may result from the aid to the Vanguards, it already has opened some communication between homosexuals and the police department. A policeman has been assigned to counsel the group.&#13;
Oddly, among those unhappy with the Glide-Vanguard relationship were leaders of several other homosexual organizations. "We thought the publicity (about dances and prostitution) would tend to perpetuate in the public mind a stereotype of the homosexual as irresponsible and sexually permissive," one says.&#13;
Glide also has worked with those organizations,whose ranks include reputable lawyer,&#13;
doctors, teachers, and entertainers. Ted McIlvenna, a Glide minister, organized a retreat for clergymen and homosexuals to discuss the problem. A group called the Council of Religion and the Homosexual grew out of the retreat. Its members have appeared on radio and television and have conferred with police and state liquor control officials to acquaint them with the homosexuals' efforts to avoid "persecution."&#13;
''No Longer Silent"&#13;
"At least we have reached out and are dealing with our situation in the broader community," says the head of one homosexual organization. "We no longer feel that we have to remain silent."&#13;
Glide has served as the catalyst for groups formed for widely different reason. In a retreat with members of the Young Men's Christian Association, it was decided that&#13;
San Francisco badly needed a "clearinghouse" for newcomers to the city to give them tips about jobs, social activities, and low-cost housing. Gateway, a downtown storefront information center. was established. Originally financed by Glide, it is now supported by a Ford Foundation grant.&#13;
Misunderstandings between police officers and Tender loin residents, and charges of&#13;
police brutality, led Glide to sponsor a meeting of concerned San Franciscans. They later started Citizens Alert, a group that maintains a 24-hour answering service to help people arrested by police.&#13;
''Police Brutality"&#13;
An important function of Citizens Alert is investigating and screening complaints of police brutality. If the group considers evidence of unnecessary force to be strong enough, it files a complaint with police officials.&#13;
Police insist not a single complaint has been justified, and some officers resent Citizens Alert's readiness to accept such complaints. One police official, however, says the group's efforts have made patrolmen more conscious of their duty to use only necessary force in making arrests. He adds: "We're getting a lot fewer complaints now than we used to.''&#13;
Glide's five ministers (four are white, and one, Mr. Williams, is a Negro) were quick to&#13;
act when Negroes in San Francisco's Hunters Point district rioted last September. Glide gave $1,000 to Youth for Service, an organization of former ghetto gang leaders. Youth for Service used the money to hire, at $15 a day, youthful gang leaders who served as "peace monitors" to help cool the tempers of rioters.&#13;
The police department said hiring the monitors definitely helped to hold down violence."&#13;
&#13;
Page 12: On the left side of the page is the remainder of the article text from pages 10-11: "But Mr. Durham doesn't even try to justify the payout on religious grounds. "It was done on a functional, practical basis," he says. "We needed to stop the riot."&#13;
Abortion and Alinsky&#13;
Predictably, Glide's church services are unconventional by most standards. A recent sermon entitled The Therapeutic Abortion Controversy was given by an abortion defender—Dr. Edmund W. Overstreet, a medical school professor and chief of obstetrical and gynecological services at San Francisco General Hospital. Yesterday, Saul Alinsky, a radical organizer of the poor, gave the sermon.&#13;
During one recent communion service, the minister in charge asked whether anyone in the congregation wanted to talk. Six churchgoers rose to offer their thoughts on current issues.&#13;
If Glide's activities appear unorthodox, its ministers say, it is largely because of a strong "anti-urban" strain in American Protestant thinking. While most denominations have willingly, even eagerly, dispatched missionaries to primitive and sometimes savage foreign lands, many religious leaders have shied away from work In the domestic "jungles."&#13;
Heretofore. says Mr. Durham. "The role of the church in the city was somehow to save&#13;
people from the evils of the city and to remind them of the sanctity of their rural heritage." But no matter how "atheistic, Godless, immoral, demonic'' modern city life may seem to be, Mr. Durham says, God created it and loves it.&#13;
Glide's activities have intrigued many clergymen and religious laymen around the&#13;
country. Two writers for a Methodist magazine recently spent some time at Glide doing a series of articles. "We have seen the growing edge of Christianity," they jubilantly reported back to their editor."&#13;

                <text>Zheng (known in early life as both Ma Sanbao and Ma He) was born around 1371 in Southwest China and later became a eunuch. His family belonged to a Muslim ethnic minority and lived in an area still controlled by Mongols after the recently toppled Yuan dynasty. &#13;
&#13;
The battles marking the transition from Yuan to Ming dynasty were brutal and bloody. During one battle, Zheng (still a boy) saw his father murdered. The youth survived but was captured. It was common practice to castrate a male captive youth.</text>

                <text>Zheng, who, according to reports, was almost seven feet tall, became a towering figure in both stature and status.&#13;
&#13;
Between 1405 to 1431 Zheng sailed 7 voyages in his treasure ships to many countries in Asia and East Africa. He set up trade routes 70 years before Columbus that are still used today.&#13;
&#13;
Zheng, a Muslim wielding power in a mostly Buddhist society, was a man with “really modern thinking” about equality. As evidence of his mindset, Zeng left behind stone tablets in a Sri Lankan temple. The trilingual carvings on the tablets mark offerings to Buddha in Chinese, to Hindu deities in Tamil, and to Allah in Persian. &#13;
&#13;
In these carvings, Yamashita sees Zheng conveying a legacy of tolerance—a message, he says, of “equal gifts for all; all gods exactly the same.”</text>

              <text>Sixteen graduating seniors (of 26) at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia have written a letter to Bishop H. George Anderson, presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, calling for continuing conversation and review of the ELCA’s position on ordination, consecration, and commissioning of gay and lesbian persons.&#13;
&#13;
Sent late last month, the letter was the outcome of a process of prayer and conversation over the course of the semester, including a day-long retreat. It was copied to all synodical bishops, the Division for Ministry, Commission for Women, Candidacy Committees of Region 7, and the other seven ELCA seminaries.&#13;
&#13;
Class co-president Margaret Spring said, “Over the past few years we have witnessed a number of friends make the difficult decision between their call to ordained ministry and to their call to a committed relationship with a person of the same gender. We feel it is time to add our voices to the church’s conversation about issues of sexuality and rostered ministry. It is our hope that even as we graduate from the seminary that this conversation will be on-going, at LTSP as well as the wider church. We are delighted that several continuing students have committed themselves to this process.”&#13;
&#13;
It is our hope and prayer that the leadership gifts of our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters will soon be fully received and celebrated by the ELCA.&#13;
