EPIPHANIES OF BEAUTY: ART IN A POST-CHRISTIAN CULTURE
That's what they're calling an amazing conference going on at Notre Dame this Thursday-Sunday. I love the title of it above, because I find it refreshing to see the phrase "post-Christian culture" asserted directly. I've been going around saying that we're in a post-Christian culture for ten years now, but invariably, religious folks demur. Not sure what happened to put the folks at ND over the edge, but they're welcome to join the ranks of us "with eyes to see."
Anyway, the line-up of academics at this week's event is impressive. Hopefully, there will be a lot of artists there too...and hopefully, the academic papers will be written in such a way as to be intelligible to the artists.
My talk is Friday at 11:20am
Here's more info from the event's web-site...
University of Notre Dame, November 18-20, 2004
"Even beyond its typically religious expressions, true art has a close affinity with the world of faith, so that, even in situations where culture and the Church are far apart, art remains a kind of bridge to religious experience." -- Pope John Paul II, Letter to Artists
Pope John Paul II addressed his 1999 Letter to Artists "to all who are passionately dedicated to the search for new 'epiphanies' of beauty, so that through their creative work as artists they may offer these as gifts to the world." In using the word "epiphany," the Holy Father drew attention to art as the manifestation, or "shining forth," of the glorious beauty of God's creation. Accordingly, as the pope says elsewhere in the letter, beautiful works of art serve as "a kind of bridge to religious experience," and thus as a genuine source of moral, spiritual and cultural renewal.
The Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture's fifth annual fall conference will examine the variety of ways in which the fine arts can help build a more genuinely Christian civilization in an era that is ever more deeply post-Christian in its character. Our first triennial series culminated in proposals on how to build a genuine culture of life, and last year's conference reflected on the renewal and formation at the heart of such a culture. This conference will focus our reflection on the fine arts and their place in a culture of life.

6:00-7:15 p.m. Dinner
7:30-9:00 p.m. Lecture-Concert: Olivier Messiaen's Visions de l'Amen
Pianists: Hyesook Kim, Calvin College
Stephane Lemelin, University of Ottawa
Lecturer: Stephen Schloesser, Boston College
Location: Annenberg Auditorium
Olivier Messiaen, one of the greatest composers of the twentieth century, wrote his seven meditations on the word "Amen" for two pianos in 1943 in Nazi-occupied Paris. His inspiration for the piece came from a book given him by his brother entitled Words of God by the 19th century Catholic Revivalist writer Ernest Hello. "Amen" is the final "word," of course --- but it is also the beginning word of creation. In the darkest hours of the twentieth century, then, Messiaen wrote this brilliant work -- thunderous in its lower ranges and dazzling in its upper -- about the origins and ends of the created world.
The concert will be preceded by a half-hour lecture by Stephen Schloesser, a professor in Boston College's History Department, laying out Messiaen's connections to French Catholic Revivalism in particular and to the Symbolist movement in general. Many listeners find Messiaen's music initially difficult to grasp, and it is hoped that this lecture will make this piece much more accessible to audience members who are not already acquainted with his work. One thing is certain: those who watch and hear these live performers will be astonished by the sheer physical stamina required to produce such passionate sounds.
9:00 p.m. Reception
9:30 p.m. Musical Performance: Mark Lang and Nadina Bembic
Location: LaFortune Ballroom
Featuring songs from ND alumnus Mark Lang's debut folk-rock album Simplicity. Nadina Bembic's debut album is due out in December. Demo copies will be available for sale. This performance is free and open to the public, and undergraduates in particular are encouraged to attend.

Handy Portrait Tips!
Preparation for your Family Portrait.
Always decide what type of sitting you'd like to have, your Purpose...
Individual - Perfect for special occasions and presents for parents.
Family - Capture the smiles and joy of the entire family!
Group - Two or more people, catch those siblings interacting and playing!
Group pictures are the perfect gifts for relatives!
Combinations - capture the smiles of your children individually, as well as some
poses together. Don't forget to include yourself in some of these portraits,
an individual portrait taken with Mom or Dad let's them know how special they
are! Select a time that works best with your family's schedule. Are your
children typically more relaxed in the morning or afternoon? Generally...
children photograph best when they are well rested and fed.
Also what style would you like?
Decide the type of "look" you want, e.g., classical, casual, contemporary, candid etc.
Children's Portraits...
Let their personalities shine through! personalise your portraits by bringing a special
book, project or favorite toy.
Young toddlers are sometimes the trickiest to prepare. They quickly pick up on stress
and may become nervous, so always keep it fun and don't rehearse the sitting. Arrive
early and let the photographer get to know your child. When selecting clothing, keep
in mind what everybody is wearing to keep harmony with the overall look.
Family Portraits...
Keep it fun fun fun! Remember, children will quickly pick up on stress!
Avoid the last minute rush by preparing your clothing early.
While family portraits are very special, don't forget to take this opportunity to have
a portrait taken of you and your partner together. Have the photographer take individual
shots of each of the children, as well as all of the siblings together. Have a special
portrait taken with Mom and the children for Dad's desk at work, and vice-versa.
When selecting clothing, keep in mind what everybody is wearing to keep harmony with
the overall look. If in doubt always bring a backup in the car handy.
Lights! Camera! Action!
Bring a brush and wipes to tame fly-away strands of hair, dribbles etc...
For toddlers, bring a dry snack and drink, something that will not soil their clothes.
Arrive a few minutes early. Don't let last minute traffic and delays create stress for
this important event! Let the photographer interact with your child to make him/her more
comfortable. If your child cries, don't worry our photographers can usually stop the tears
within moments! Most importantly, have fun! A professional portrait is meant to capture
the moment, and not force it!

Debt reduction can be done in many different ways. A recent method being used is to buy some debt reduction software.You can purchase debt reduction software online or at a computer software store. The software usually comes with a debt reduction calculator to help you decipher how quickly your debt will be paid off in accordance to your monthly balance payments. Similarly, there are also debt reduction books you can purchase at your local bookstore. The best route for help with debt reduction is to go see a credit counseller or a debt reduction counsellor.

1. Never leave your child alone in a public place, car, or stroller.
2. Point out a safety house or houses in your neighbourhood, where children can go if they are in troble.
3. Check older friends of your child and all potential babysitters.
