...author characterizes the present ministry as exuding "deep introspection and piety reminiscent of the traditional parish priest." Although a marked emphasis is placed on communal and individual spiritual expression, that "deep introspection" would more appropriately be labeled "meditative reflection." This reflection summons the individual to contemplate God's promise of the Kingdom. Similarly, the celebration of the sacraments is a pledge and a witness of the promises of God. It is a communal affirmation of God's pledge to us and our pledge to the task of bringing this Kingdom to fulfillment. As in the examples of Mother Theresa...
...four buildings are of various heights, rising backward from the river to provide everyone with a view, and various shapes, so as not to seem too monotonous and regimented. There are a series of interior pedestrian plazas, studded with trees and benches, for people to walk it. There are communal facilities. The complex is only ten minutes' walk from Harvard Square. It overlooks the Charles. It's near the major traffic arteries...
...enter our Bicentennial year confused, properly humbled, but not necessarily despondent. The conditions of life in the innermost parts of many of our older cities have become, in Thomas Hobbes' phrase, "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." The near collapse of family structure and communal life in these areas has created, for tens of thousands of people, especially young ones, a social catastrophe that the conventional institutions of a free society are, in the short run, powerless to correct.

...immigrant reaction was swift and sudden. The Jews' strong communal sense, Howe suggests, opened them to the socialist organization brought by radicals arriving from Warsaw and Vilna after 1905. Socialism became for the Jews a belief, as idealistic fervor, which, the immigrants hoped, would bring the actuality of their American world closer to their original vision of it. The new Bund leaders snatched their chances in the shirtwaist makers strike of 1909 which made of a brave but undisciplined group of female shopworkers the members of a recognized ILGW union and a year later, in the cloak-makers strike which...
...Yiddishkeit as the culture of the postponed decision. The "modernized" fiction of Yiddish culture grappled with universal themes of class struggle, personal relations and urban anomie as well as with the Jewish experience in eastern Europe. Uneasy Yiddish theater, trapped between the artistic aspirations of its playwrights and the communal experiences clamoured for by its audiences, emerged as brilliant, outrageous theatricality, a cross between a synogogue and a bawdy house, as the poet Moshe Lieb Halpern called it. At the center of this precarious world was The Forward, a socialist paper published daily in Yiddish by the remarkable Abraham Cahan...
