This book assesses how Vatican II opened up the Catholic Church to
encounter, dialogue, and engagement with other world religions.
Opening with a contribution from the President of the Pontifical
Council for Interreligious Dialogue, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, it
next explores the impact, relevance, and promise of the Declaration
Nostra Aetate before turning to consider how Vatican II in general
has influenced interfaith dialogue and the intellectual and
comparative study of world religions in the postconciliar decades,
as well as the contribution of particular past and present thinkers
to the formation of current interreligious and comparative
theological methods. Additionally, chapters consider interreligious
dialogue vis-Ă -vis theological anthropology in conciliar
documents; openness to the spiritual practices of other faith
traditions as a way of encouraging positive interreligious
encounter; the role of lay and new ecclesial movements in
interreligious dialogue; and the development of Monastic
Interreligious Dialogue. Finally, it includes a range of
perspectives on the fruits and future of Vatican’s II’s opening
to particular faiths such as Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and
Buddhism.
This volume explores how Catholicism began and continues to open
its doors to the wider world and to other confessions in embracing
ecumenism, thanks to the vision and legacy of the Second Vatican
Council. It explores such themes as the twentieth century context
preceding the council; parallels between Vatican II and previous
councils; its distinctively pastoral character; the legacy of the
council in relation to issues such as church-world dynamics, as
well as to ethics, social justice, economic activity. Several
chapters discuss the role of women in the church before, during,
and since the council. Others discern inculturation in relation to
Vatican II. The book also contains a wide and original range of
ecumenical considerations of the council, including by and in
relation to Free Church, Reformed, Orthodox, and Anglican
perspectives. Finally, it considers the Council's ongoing promise
and remaining challenges with regard to ecumenical issues,
including a groundbreaking essay on the future of ecumenical
dialogue by Cardinal Walter Kasper.

New Play Award for an Emerging Playwright Walter Kreutzer, a
microbiologist for a defense contractor, is being investigated by
his employers over an incriminating memo that was leaked to the
media. Walter thinks his Moroccan wife may have done the
whistle-blowing, and to protect her - and himself - Walter needs to
learn how to beat a lie detector, and fast. D'avore Peoples, a
polygraph consultant, is happy to help - for a price, of course.
But D'avore's technique will require Walter to look deep within
himself, a terrifying prospect for a man hiding from his past.With
his best friend spying on him, his wife intent on opening old
wounds, and D'avore uncovering dark secrets, Walter's desperate
journey toward the perfect lie becomes a spiral into paranoia and
bitter reckoning. "The play wears its politics lightly...letting
slip bits of information that we then can combine into
sense...Funny, at moments, hilarious, with much of the humor coming
from characters who are always more human than symbolic... I want
to recommend Mendacity not just as a couple of entertaining hours
of theater, which it certainly is, but as a rare attempt to witness
real political art, the sort that seldom turns up on the American
scene." -Mark E. Leib, Creative Loafing"A sharp meditation on the
nature of truth and lies in the post 9-11 world... Jason Wells
conjures the same sort of nerve-jangling menace found in his
earlier play Men Of Tortuga. But here he spins a story that bears a
downright eerie prescience...Wells' play is wired with a dazzling,
tightly wound, steel-spring mechanism that keeps you riveted."
-Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun Times..".This look at intrigue, duplicity
and self-deception in the corporate world resonates in every aspect
of human endeavor." -American Theatre Critics Association "One
would think a drama about a government defense contractor's secret
cover-ups and the people woven within them would be heavy and
intense, but playwright Jason Wells surprises with witty comedy in
the most unlikely moments while keeping the intensity
alive...Wells' dialogue, coupled with the story's imagination,
flows nicely. It is enjoyable to watch each scene build to a
climax, then soften somewhat, leaving the audience intrigued,
laughing or, in the end, completely stunned." -Bradenton
Herald"Intriguing and exciting " -Sarasota Magazine
Drama / 5m Four men conspire to defeat a despised opponent by a
ruthless act of violence: they will fire a missile into a crowded
conference room on the day of an important meeting. Maxwell, a hero
of the old guard, volunteers to sacrifice himself for the plan.
Then Maxwell meets Fletcher, an idealist with a Compromise Proposal
designed to resolve all conflicts. Maxwell regards the Compromise
as hopeless, but he develops a liking for Fletcher - a distressing
fact when Maxwell learns that, if the conspiracy proceeds, young
Fletcher will be among the dead. As the scheme spins wildly into
complication, the plotters descend into suspicion, bloodlust and
raucous infighting, while Fletcher is drawn, inexorably, into the
lion's den. Jason Wells isn't giving everything away in his
captivating new play Men of Tortuga. In addressing some serious
contemporary issues, he creates a scenario where the audience has
only a rough idea of what's going on. And that's just about the way
it should be. In a crackling world premiere at the Asolo Repertory
Theater, Wells tells a story of corporate greed, power,
surveillance and the secrecy that increasingly pervades our daily
lives. Wells and the Asolo cast grab the audience from the
start...The play pulses with energy... -Variety Calling all
corporate conspiracy theorists: Jason Wells has written a play
confirming everything you've ever wanted to believe about what goes
on behind the frosted windows and code-locked doors of America's
executive suites...ripping, blacker-than-black satire...Wells'
work, though almost blank in details, carefully exposes the
barbarism encoded in corporate bureaucracy. With a grand sense of
humor about misinterpreted metaphors and think-tank buzz language -
'he eats our bread' refers to someone you can trust - Tortuga gives
us absurd savages in suits, drinking good bourbon and plotting
destruction... Eat their bread. - Time Out Chicago Consider an
interlude in Jason Wells' Men of Tortuga, a tale of global
politics, male power games and moral ambiguity that is in many ways
the Steppenwolf First Look] festival's most dazzling and
provocative play...When, the actors] put the final beat on a
particularly brilliant scene, there was no stopping the burst of
applause. Not only did this crackling exchange work on a slew of
levels at once - with matters of ethics, careermaking,
legacymaking, ego-massaging, cutthroat cross-generation competition
and hints of father-son tensions all being juggled, but the actors
attacked the material as if they were playing virtuoso dueling
violins. The rhythms, the emotional shadings, the teasing tones,
the mix of respect and defensiveness were all so superbly
calibrated that they generated a sensation of sheer
giddiness....Wells' play happens to be a shrewd piece of
gamesmanship that blends a bit of Mamet and his corrosive comedy
with a touch of Kafka and Joseph Conrad, plus a splash of high
entertainment. It's tailor-made for the age of terrorism,
assassination, and corrupt global organizations...with writing and
acting this smart and this sharp, it never fails to hit its
target....hard-driving, blackly comic, relentlessly macho... A]
100-minute head game filled with vacuum-packed scenes...Wells has
crafted a taut, cleverly orchestrated piece about power, personal
psychosis, game-playing, morality and the terror of failure...a
sharp parable for our time. -Chicago Sun-Times
After a ruthless faction seizes power in Washington, Carlton Berg,
a bureaucrat for the State Department, runs off with the new
regime's top secret enemies list. Unfortunately for Carlton, the
chase has come to an end in a police station in the Ozarks town of
Lodus. With a pair of DHS agents on the way, Carlton's last hope is
in the people around him: an unsympathetic police chief, an
ambivalent administrative assistant, and fellow prisoner Tanya
Shepke, a motor-mouthed recidivist who's turned herself in for
drunk driving and thinks Skynyrd should be on the new money. The
revolution starts now

Our style for building MLM is radically different from other
people's in the MLM Industry. It's often described as "going
against the grain." Our MLM building techniques may make you
question what your upline, company, and all these MLM "gurus" have
taught you. But when there is a high failure rate in MLM with those
B.S. tactics, going "against the grain" is probably the smartest
thing you can do. The Complete Networker is about building your MLM
business with "business common sense" and not the typical nonsense
that is spouted around the MLM industry. Understanding our
"business common sense" approach to network marketing will help
build your business by figuring out what's working and what's not
working in your business. This isn't some feel good book about
"Getting excited and making it happen" nonsense. No, it's about
learning the core business skills and knowledge that you need in
order to build your business. Here are just a few of things that
you'll learn: The fatal flaw that almost every person in MLM makes
that will destroy any chance of a long term residual income. You're
really selling two things with your MLM company... make sure you
know what they are and how to profit from both of them (99% of
people miss one of them ) There are typically three devastating
outcomes that happen when you train your team with the typical MLM
B.S. Learn what they are and how to avoid them. Learn why many MLM
affiliate systems are traps that will eat away at any downline that
you have. Learn the most common communication step that people skip
over in the sales process that almost guarantees your prospect will
go radio silent. Get a sneak peak and take a look over our
shoulders to see the exact training model we use to create
duplication. If you're tired of hype and a motivational fluff that
is disguised as MLM training, then read the Complete Networker.
