Ralph Waldo Emerson - Episode 1 -The First Distinctive American Literary Voice!Hi, I'm Christy Shriver and we're here to discuss books that have changed the world and have changed us. And I'm Garry Shriver and this is the How to Love Lit Podcast. Today we begin our first of two episodes on Ralph Waldo Emerson, arguably America's first distinctively American literary voice. He extraordinarily influenced and inspired some of the most notable and productive writers this continent has produced. Some were disciples, others totally rejected and sought to dismantle his ideology- but none of his generation ignored him, and some of America's greatest writing was produced. The names of his contemporaries are recognizable heavy hitters in the American canon, names like Henry David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Margaret Fuller, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson. American icons were motivated not only by his ideas, but by his enthusiasm and his energy. He had and still has an uncanny ability to imbue his listeners and/or readers with personal confidence- not in him, but in themselves. And it wasn't just writers, or even mostly writers, countless Union Soldiers took Emerson's essays with them as they packed up to fight the Civil War; they were encouraged by Emerson's words to fight onward for what was morally right. It is said that leaders as far away as Russia kept his essays on tables next to their beds. For some they have had the authority of Biblical text or Oracles. Philosophers like Nietzsche and William James found inspiration in him. Literally millions from all over the world have put his quotes on decorative walls, bathroom mirrors, and calendars. He's everywhere- Etsy jewelry, Instagram posts, inspirational candles, if a quote can be stuck on it- Emerson's in the mix. I've heard him quoted in numerous graduation addresses. His optimism is contagious even if his philosophy or theology is complicated, difficult to understand at times and even controversial. Yes, I have found the best way for most of us to read Emerson is not to get mired in trying to understand all of his philosophical musings- he's not really an accepted philosopher. No, he isn't, and this is ironic, Emerson is an alumni of Harvard University, and today, Emerson Hall holds Harvard's Department of Philosophy. Now what is ironic about that is Emerson is not an accepted philosopher and he is not taught in any class in the building that carries his name, nor on any college campus as a philosopher, not just Harvard's.

On Episode 5, I sit down with one of my best friends, Midfielder Nick Ruiz. Together we discuss a little bit about soccer, but ultimately this episode highlights the impact that Nick that has had outside the lines, as the man has been an ambassador for Emerson Hall and events such as Spring Sing that have allowed him to showcase his natural ability as a leader, and how the domino effect of his actions have inspired those around him to feel a sense of belonging here at Westmont.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, September 9, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Carlton D. Pearson, Affiliate Minister.

Ithaca College announced April 3 that President Shirley M. Collado will be moving into an on-campus home by Fall 2019. The new president's home will be built this coming fall behind Emerson Hall, a residence hall where many students live on campus. "Past Deadline" Host Grace Elletson sits down with Assistant News Editor Madison Fernandez and Opinion Editor Meaghan McElroy to talk about the pros and cons of this decision. You can subscribe to our podcasts on iTunes and SoundCloud.

The homily was delivered on Sunday, November 1, 2015, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. HOMILY DESCRIPTION The Mexican tradition translated as "The Day of the Dead" has spread around the world as a colorful and meaningful way to remember and give thanks to people we love who have died. The Catholic churches in Mexico have placed the tradition on All Souls Day – November 1. With this tradition falling on a Sunday this year, we have decided to create a service inspired by All Souls Day and Dia de los Muertos. You are invited and highly encouraged to bring a photograph or small token of remembrance of a departed loved one to place on the decorative alter (ofrenda in Spanish) that will be in the front of the sanctuary and Emerson Hall this Sunday. Infused with music, stories, and dancing from Mexico, it will be a service you will not want to miss. Come honor a loved one this Sunday with joy and celebration as we find meaning and gratitude in the memories of those we love and who have gone before us.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, September 7, 2014, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Our September sermon series will be on “Thirst”. Everyone has a thirst or longing for something. We thirst for community, for meaning, for justice, for love. We can feel at times like we are in a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by water but with nothing to drink. Sometimes we can be surrounded by people but still be thirsty for community. Our lives can be full and successful and still feel devoid of meaning and purpose. We can also mistake our thirst for something superficial and therefore quench it with the wrong drink. We can desire peace, but try to quench it with numbness. We can yearn for love and mistake it as a desire for sex. On Sept. 7th we will launch the series and a new church year on what we are calling “Vision Sunday” with wonderful music, lunch and more for all ages. Then on Sept. 14 we will re-launch The Point our service that has been increasingly referred to as our “Good Without God” or “Humanist” service in Emerson Hall each Sunday 11:30-12:15 with outstanding music from Rick Fortner and friends. On Sept 21st Bishop Carlton Pearson will deliver our message in the 11:30 Contemporary service and on Sept 28th Rev. Barbara Prose and I will speak on our experience of the SNAP Challenge (living for a week on a “food-stamp” budget of $4.28 a day) in all three services. May your thirsts be nurtured and quenched at All Souls this September!

The OT teaches that God loves people King David wrote about God's thoughts and care for man Psalm 8:3, 4 ESV When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? These words are in stone over the doors of Emerson Hall, housing the department of philosophy at Harvard University. David was moved that the mighty Sovereign of the universe and Creator of all think of us? Why does he care for us? But Gods love for people is not just big, it's also very personal. It is not just generic or a sense of goodwill to man in general, but a very personal love Hagar, Sara's maidservant said, "you are the God who sees me" When Moses asked God to show him his glory, Exodus 34:6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, The psalmist declares God's love lasts forever in his faithfulness Psalm 136:1-3 ESV Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures forever; Hosea teaches that God's love is stubborn. He refuses to give up on His people, but promises to love them in spite of their sin. Like a bridegroom pursuing his bride. Hosea 2:19 ESV And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. Jeremiah declares that Gods love is everlasting. Even in punishment for sin, Gods love perseveres. Jeremiah 31:2, 3 ESV Thus says the Lord : “The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness; when Israel sought for rest, the Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you." In the New Testament, Gods love took on its fullest expression in Jesus Christ Gods love expressed in the OT is fully demonstrated by Jesus in the NT John 13:1-15 Vv. 1-3 - Jesus knew his time had come He showed them the full extent of his love - or loved them to the end What he was about to do was a final act of love to demonstrate to them Gods love for them. He knew God had given him authority, that he came from God, and was returning to him. Vv. 4-5 - it was customary for the host to have a slave wash the dust from the feet of his guests washing of feet was the duty of the lowest level slave Vv. 6-11 - as Peter watched Jesus wash the other's feet, he objected This was out of order. The Master does not wash feet. This was the duty of the least, not the greatest. The disciples had argued who was the greatest among them James and Johns mom asked if her boys could be the most prominent of Jesus followers Jesus turned all this on its head when he taught that the one who serves is greatest "Unless I wash your feet, you have no part with me" Jesus probably meant both (1) that unless he washed Peters sins by his death on the cross, then Peter would have no relationship with him, Gods love for people is a love willing to sacrifice for others - and to pay the ultimate sacrifice Jesus' foot washing is a foreshadowing of Jesus' willingness to lay his life down out of love for us. This was the demonstration of the full extent of his love. The OT expression of Gods love: abounding, faithful, devoted, forgiving, stubborn, everlasting, infinite, gracious Jesus demonstrated all of that and then he showed the supremacy of his love for us: Jesus willingly sacrificed everything for us "Greater love has no man than this, that he lay his life down for his friends" (2) that unless Peter allowed Jesus to serve him, Peter would not learn humility Jesus' foot washing is an example of service that we are supposed to follow. If you want to follow Jesus, you will be a foot washer. You will give yourself in service to other people Love God? Love people. Vv. 12-17 - wash others' feet Jesus taught his disciples, if you're going to follow me, you will be servant to all. You will sacrifice for others, demonstrating my love for people through your service. It starts with showing an interest in someone outside of you and your family. Get out of your house. Pray for people. Look around you, there are people who are struggling with loneliness, depression, despair, disappointment. Wash their feet by spending some time with them.
