Interview with Eileen C. Sweeney on Anselm of Canterbury and the desire for the Word, by Eileen C. Sweeney
No full textAnselm of Canterbury is an important and early source of two key themes in Western thought and religion that are hard to reconcile. In his arguments based only on reason, Anselm develops a model of pure and neutral rationality. In his intensely personal and passionate prayers, meditations, and letters of spiritual direction, Anselm is the forerunner of later experiential and emotional spirituality. Scholars have been largely content to compartmentalize these different elements in Anselm, but his most famous works, the Monologion and Proslogion, are both prayerful meditations and argumentative assays of "reason alone." Any account of Anselm as a thinker or of his place in Western intellectual and religious history must make sense of this enigma. In Anselm of Canterbury and the Desire for the Word, Eileen C. Sweeney addresses these tensions, offering a new cumulative and comparative interpretation of Anselm's writings. She finds common concerns and patterns across his prayers, logical analysis, and Christological and Trinitarian speculation. Sweeney argues that seeing the common structure and goal in the many topics and genres in the Anselmian corpus yields a new way of considering much-discussed questions in Anselm scholarship--the relationship of faith and reason, the search for "necessary reasons," the concurrence of freedom and grace. It also sheds further light on Anselm's engagement with non-Christian objectors and on the emotional content of Anselm's prayers and letters. Sweeney's study offers a comprehensive picture of Anselm's thought and its development, from the early, intimate, monastically based meditations to the later, public, proto-scholastic disputations. She reveals Anselm as a thinker as relentless in his exposure of ambiguity, paradox, and separation as in his pursuit of certainty, necessity, and unity.Title supplied by cataloger
Cathie Sweeney
No full textCathie came to the Northern Territory in 1949. She was sent by the Methodist Overseas Missions to Yirrkala in Arnhem Land to deal with a measles epidemic which had spread eastwards from Darwin. She moved to Elcho Island where she was the first fully-trained nursing sister. For the next ten years she was responsible for the health of the community as there was no resident doctor. The only contact with health authorities in Darwin was through the daily radio schedule.
Cathie was on call 24 hours her duties included delivering babies, dressing burns, pulling teeth and coping with epidemics. The outside world was only accessible by a long boat trip or a flight by a slow plane there were no telephones and the conditions were harsh.
In 1961 Cathie married Gordon Sweeney a missionary who, with his first wife, the late Olive Ann Sweeney had previously worked on Elcho Island. Cathie has two step daughters and one step-son. She spent a year relieving the nursing sister at the Goulburn Island mission and in 1962 retired to Adelaide and was an Elder in the Dernancourt Uniting Church which she had helped to establish.

Sondheim And Wheeler’S Sweeney Todd
No full textSweeney Todd, the gruesome tale of a murderous barber and his pastry chef accomplice, is unquestionably strange subject matter for the musical theatre - but eight Tony awards and enormous successes on Broadway and the West End testify to its enduring popularity with audiences. Written by Hugh Wheeler, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, the musical premiered in 1979 and has seen numerous revivals, including Tim Burton’s 2007 film version. Aaron C. Thomas addresses this darkly funny piece with fitting humour, taking on Sweeney Todd\u27s chequered history and genre, its treatment of violence and cannibalism, and its sexual politics
