Early life
<mask> was born on  in the town of Yevlakh in Elisabethpol Governorate (in present-day western Azerbaijan) into the family of a railroad engineer, <mask>. His father came from a family of Russian Orthodox priests while his mother Olga (Salomia) Saparova (Saparyan, Sapharashvili) was of the Tbilisi Armenian nobility in Georgia. His maternal grandmother Sofia Paatova (Paatashvili) was from an Armenian family from Karabakh, living in Bolnisi, Georgia. Florensky "always searched for the roots of his Armenian family" and noted that they came from Karabakh. Florensky completed his high school studies (1893-1899) at the  Tbilisi classical lyceum, where several companions were later to distinguish themselves, among them the founder of Russian Cubo-Futurism, David Burliuk. In 1899, Florensky underwent a religious crisis, connected to a visit to Leo Tolstoy caused by an awareness of the limits and relativity of the scientific positivism and rationality which had been an integral part of his initial formation within his family and high school.He decided to construct his own solution by developing theories that would reconcile the spiritual and the scientific visions on the basis of mathematics. He entered the department of mathematics of the Imperial Moscow University and studied under Nikolai Bugaev, and became friends with his son, the future poet and theorist of Russian symbolism, Andrei Bely. He was particularly drawn to Georg Cantor's set theory. He also took courses on ancient philosophy. During this period the young <mask>, who had no religious upbringing, began taking an interest in studies beyond "the limitations of physical knowledge" In 1904 he graduated from the Imperial Moscow University and declined a teaching position at the university: instead, he proceeded to study theology at the Ecclesiastical Academy in Sergiyev Posad. During his theological studies there, he came into contact with Elder Isidore on a visit to Gethsemane Hermitage, and Isidore was to become his spiritual guide and father. Together with fellow students Ern, Svenitsky and Brikhnichev he founded a society, the Christian Struggle Union (Союз Христиaнской Борьбы), with the revolutionary aim of rebuilding Russian society according to the principles of Vladimir Solovyov.Subsequently he was arrested for membership in this society in 1906: however, he later lost his interest in the Radical Christianity movement. Intellectual interests
During his studies at the Ecclesiastical Academy, <mask>'s interests included philosophy, religion, art and folklore. He became a prominent member of the Russian Symbolism movement, together with his friend Andrei Bely and published works in the magazines New Way (Новый Путь)  and Libra (Весы). He also started his main philosophical work, The Pillar and Ground of the Truth: an Essay in Orthodox Theodicy in Twelve Letters. The complete book was published only in 1914 but most of it was finished at the time of his graduation from the academy in 1908. According to the forward in a book of his letters published by the Princeton University Press: "The book is a series of twelve letters to a 'brother' or 'friend,' who may be understood symbolically as Christ. Central to <mask>'s work is an exploration of the various meanings of Christian love, which is viewed as a combination of philia (friendship) and agape (universal love).He describes the ancient Christian rites of the adelphopoiesis (brother-making), which joins male friends in chaste bonds of love. In addition, <mask> was one of the first thinkers in the twentieth century to develop the idea of the Divine Sophia, who has become one of the central concerns of feminist theologians." After graduating from the academy, he married Anna Giatsintova, the sister of a friend, in August 1910, a move which shocked his friends who were familiar with his aversion to marriage. He continued to teach philosophy and lived at Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra until 1919. In 1911 he was ordained into the priesthood. In 1914 he wrote his dissertation, About Spiritual Truth. He published works on philosophy, theology, art theory, mathematics and electrodynamics.Between 1911 and 1917 he was the chief editor of the most authoritative Orthodox theological publication of that time, Bogoslovskiy Vestnik. He was also a spiritual teacher of the controversial Russian writer Vasily Rozanov, urging him to reconcile with the Orthodox Church. Period of Communist rule in Russia
After the October Revolution he formulated his position as: "I have developed my own philosophical and scientific worldview, which, though it contradicts the vulgar interpretation of communism... does not prevent me from honestly working in the service of the state." After the Bolsheviks closed the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra (1918) and the Sergievo-Posad Church (1921), where he was the priest, he moved to Moscow to work on the State Plan for Electrification of Russia (ГОЭЛРО) under the recommendation of Leon Trotsky who strongly believed in <mask>'s ability to help the government in the electrification of rural Russia. According to contemporaries, <mask> in his priest's cassock, working alongside other leaders of a Government department, was a remarkable sight. In 1924, he published a large monograph on dielectrics. He worked simultaneously as the Scientific Secretary of the Historical Commission on Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra and published his works on ancient Russian art.He was rumoured to be the main organizer of a secret endeavour to save the relics of St. Sergii Radonezhsky whose destruction had been ordered by the government. In the second half of the 1920s, he mostly worked on physics and electrodynamics, eventually publishing his paper  Imaginary numbers in Geometry («Мнимости в геометрии. Расширение области двухмерных образов геометрии») devoted to the geometrical interpretation of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Among other things, he proclaimed that the geometry of imaginary numbers predicted by the theory of relativity for a body moving faster than light is the geometry of the Kingdom of God. For mentioning the Kingdom of God in that work, he was accused of anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda by Soviet authorities. 1928–1937: exile, imprisonment, death

In 1928, <mask> was exiled to Nizhny Novgorod. After the intercession of Ekaterina Peshkova (wife of Maxim Gorky), <mask> was allowed to return to Moscow.On 26 February 1933 he was arrested again, on suspicion of engaging in a conspiracy with <mask>, a professor of canon law who was a complete stranger to <mask>, to overthrow the state and install, with Nazi assistance, a fascist monarchy. He defended himself vigorously against the imputations until he realized that by showing a willingness to admit them, though false, he would enable several acquaintances to resecure their liberty. He was sentenced to ten years in the labor camps by the infamous Article 58 of Joseph Stalin's criminal code (clauses ten and eleven: "agitation against the Soviet system" and "publishing agitation materials against the Soviet system"). The published agitation materials were the monograph about the theory of relativity. His manner of continuing to wear priestly garb annoyed his employers. The state offered him numerous opportunities to go into exile in Paris, but he declined them. He served at the Baikal Amur Mainline camp until 1934 when he was moved to Solovki, where he conducted research into producing iodine and agar out of the local seaweed.In 1937 he was transferred to Saint Petersburg (then known as Leningrad) where, on 25 November, he was sentenced by an extrajudicial NKVD troika to death. According to a legend he was sentenced for the refusal to disclose the location of the head of St. Sergii Radonezhsky that the communists wanted to destroy. The saint's head was indeed saved and in 1946 the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra was opened again. The relics of St. Sergii became fashionable once more. The saint's relics were returned to Lavra by <mask>, later known as Archbishop Sergiy. After sentencing, <mask> was transported in a special train together with another 500 prisoners to a location near St. Petersburg, where he was shot dead on the night of 8 December 1937 in a wood not far from the city. The site of his burial is unknown.Antonio Maccioni states that he was shot at the Rzhevsky Artillery Range, near Toksovo, which is located about twenty kilometers northeast of Saint Petersburg and was buried in a secret grave in Koirangakangas near Toksovo together with 30,000 others who were executed by the NKVD at the same time. In 1997, a mass burial ditch was excavated in the Sandarmokh forest, which may well contain his remains. His name was registered in 1982 among the list of New Martyrs and Confessors. Influence
<mask>, often read for his contributions to the religious renaissance of his time or scientific thinking, came to be studied in a broader perspective in the 1960s, a change associated with the revival of interest in neglected aspects of his oeuvre shown by the Tartu school of semiotics, which evaluated his works in terms of their anticipation of themes that formed part of the theoretical avant-garde's interests in a general theory of cultural signs at that time. Read in this light, the evidence that <mask>'s thinking actively responded to the art of the Russian modernists. Of particular importance in this regard was their publication of his 1919 essay, delivered as a lecture the following year, on spatial organization in the Russian icon tradition, entitled "Reverse Perspective", a concept which <mask>, like Erwin Panofsky later, picked up from Oskar Wulff's 1907 essay, 'Die umgekehrte Perspektive und die Niedersicht. Here <mask> contrasted the dominant concept of spatiality in Renaissance art analysing the visual conventions employed in the iconological tradition.This work has remained since its publication a seminal text in this area down to the present day. In that essay, his interpretation has recently been developed and reformulated critically by Clemena Antonova, who argues rather that what <mask> analysed is better described in terms of  "simultaneous planes".

<mask> (13 June 1880 – 2 April 1962) was an influential German architect. He is often grouped with Bruno Taut, Ernst May and Walter Gropius as being among the most significant representatives of the Modernist ("Neues Bauen") architecture that became important initially during the Weimar period, notably in respect of residential accommodation. Life

Early years
<mask> was born in Munich slightly fewer than ten years after Bavaria had been incorporated into the new German state. He attended secondary school in Passau where during school holidays he worked as a draftsman for the city building department. Between 1898 and 1902, he attended Building Academies in Augsburg und Würzburg. In 1902, <mask> began training as a bricklayer in Frankfurt am Main. In 1903, he took a job in the Frankfurt office of the noted architect Ludwig Bernoully.Later on in 1906, he set himself up in his own architecture practice in Celle, focusing on commercial renovation and "new-build" developments. A significant project from this time was the "Trüllerhaus". In 1908, he joined an architectural partnership with Karl Dreher. In 1914, he applied unsuccessfully for a position in public office locally as Bürgervorsteher. Between 1915 and 1917, when he was wounded, he participated in the war. The end of the war in 1918 marked the start of a busy period for <mask>, now aged nearly 40. In 1918, he produced his proposal for the "Auf der Heese" residential development in Celle's Carstens Street (Carstensstraße).This referenced back to existing plans from before the war, as a watercolour drawing by his former partner Karl Dreher, who had been killed in 1916, demonstrates. Each of the 32 terraced houses featured a saddleback roof and a kitchen/living area, adumbrating mainstream features of "modern" twentieth century housing. For detached buildings, such as the school (originally drawn by Haesler in 1911, and today used as a day centre and meeting space), in the village of Bannetze, he had invoked a more traditional repertoire, specifying an interrupted-hipped roof (Krüppelwalmdach). Neues Bauen

<mask> championed the building of social housing, providing improved living conditions for an increased number of tenants at an affordable rent. He wanted to reduce costs and at the same time improve living spaces by using standardised floor plans and employing the newly available steel frame construction methods. He therefore oriented and designed his developments to maximise the use of sunlight, replacing corridors with living rooms able to benefit directly from the afternoon sun, and bedrooms directly accessible from the day-time living spaces. He rationalised and industrialised modern residential development.There are three residential <mask> developments in Celle dating from the mid 1920s and early 1930s. Italian Garden Settlement
With his first, the "Italian Garden Settlement" ("Siedlung Italienischer Garten") of 1924/25 <mask> incorporated inspiration he had gained from a visit to Bruno Taut in Magdeburg. <mask> publicised the modern design-language of the new buildings across Germany:  shortly after completion, the Italian Garden Settlement came to be seen as the first "Neues Bauen" residential development in the country. There was no attempt at "interesting" ground plan lay-outs, and <mask> did not entirely stay within the economic restrictions mandated. Georgsgarten Settlement
Haesler's "Georgsgarten Settlement" ("Siedlung Georgsgarten"), in 1926/27, was the first industrially constructed "ribbon cell" (terraced format) residential development. With the "Georgsgarten Settlement" <mask> succeeded in creating an "urban planning first". He applied the "Cabin floor plan" concept developed by Ludwig Hilberseimer, which gave rise to an open-plan cell structure, but combined that with contemporary fashionable touches such as prominent balconies, apparently influenced by the Gropius Bauhaus development in Dessau.The Georgsgarten also marked the first outing for the protruding three-sided glazed stair housing which from now on became a Haesler trademark. Blumläger Field Settlement
It was only with the florally named "Blumläger Field Settlement" ("Siedlung Blumläger Feld") of 1930/31 that it became possible to apply the planned rents. An unusual feature of this development was that each residential unit was assigned its own  tenants' garden, directly accessible at the ground floor level. The incorporation of gardens gives the development a "garden city" character. The settlement was partly torn down in 2003, but the second phase, on the north side of the "Galgenberg" Street, remains fully preserved from that redevelopment. Other works
Although it is convenient to group together Haesler's three major "Neues Bauen" residential development projects in Celle, by the late 1920s he was also undertaking high-profile projects in other cities. So far not mentioned works include:

The "Friedrich Ebert Ring road settlement" in Rathenow (1928–31)
The "Altstädter secondary school" in Celle (1928)
Buildings in the "Dammerstock settlement" in Karlsruhe (1929)
The "Rothenburg settlement" in Kassel (1929–31)
The "Marie von Boschan Aschrott retirement home" in Kassel (1930–32)

Memberships
<mask> was a member of the "Bright Star Masonic Lodge" ("...zum hellleuchtenden Stern") from 1909 till 1931.In 1925 he was invited to join the increasingly influential German Craftsmen's Association, and in 1926 he joined Der Ring, an advocacy group created by modernist architects which would be dissolved when confronted by violent government opposition in 1933. In 1927 he accepted an invitation to join the National Research Association for Economy in Building and Housing (RfG). In 1930 he was appointed as Expert Advisor to the RfG board. He also found himself proposed as a successor to Ernst May as city architect and planner for Frankfurt am Main, and as a successor to <mask> as head of the Building Academy at Weimar. In 1932 <mask> resigned from the Association of German Architects and founded the operation "heimtyp ag". Economic and political crisis
The early 1930s saw a return to economic collapse and eye watering levels of unemployment in Germany. The political left was split and the political centre was fragmented, which opened the way for the rise of the populist right wing NSDAP (Nazi party) under the able leadership of Adolf Hitler.Nazi ideology incorporated a remarkable capacity for hatred, and one of the Nazi targets was Bauhaus architecture, which Hitler passionately condemned as degenerate art. Following the General election of November 1932, in which the Nazis, with 37% of the vote, emerged as the largest single party, they took power in January 1933, and the ensuing months saw a rapid retreat from democracy, in favour of one-party government. <mask> was subject to physical attacks:  he also suffered an intense reputational assault from conservative and Nazi architects and by the Nazi press. "Heimtyp ag" which <mask> had founded in 1932 was bankrupted in 1933. Twelve Nazi years
Violently attacked by the regime, in 1934 <mask> went into a form of internal exile, closing down his office in Celle and relocating to Eutin, a small town in Schleswig-Holstein, some 130 km (80 miles) from the Danish border. Here he continued to build houses, now using the traditional brick construction characteristic of the region, but still with structural elements of modern architecture. In 1939 Germany invaded Poland, triggering a more general war across much of Europe.By this time <mask> had evidently returned to favour sufficiently to be appointed Deputy City Building Consultant for Lodz, controlled by Germany and increasingly populated by ethnic Germans between 1939 and 1945, and for Lemberg (under German control between 1941 and 1944). In 1943 <mask> was also part of a planning project for the reconstruction of Sebastopol which had recently been largely destroyed in fighting. Soviet occupation zone
War ended in May 1945 and with it, as some thought, one-party dictatorship. The eastern part of Germany was now subsumed into Poland and the Soviet Union, while the rest of the country was divided into four military occupation zones. <mask> was given responsibility for rebuilding the destroyed city of Rathenow, an hour or so to the west of Berlin. This involved relocating, in 1946, to what was now administered as the Soviet occupation zone, where he would continue to live after the entire zone was transformed, formally in October 1949, into a Soviet sponsored stand-alone German state, the German Democratic Republic. <mask> would retain responsibility for the  Rathenow rebuilding plans till 1955, latterly in partnership with Karl Völcker.In 1950 he was appointed Professor for Residential Development, and between 1950 and 1952 he served as head of the Building and Arts section of the Weimar Building Academy (as it was known by this time). However, at the end of 1951, with one-party government restored, the Ulbricht government came up with a strategy for architecture. This involved a rigorously applied change of direction in favour of "National building", which meant a stigmatising of the Bauhaus movement and its economically focused functionalism. <mask>, now aged 71, found his own architectural philosophy and career abruptly sidelined. In 1953 <mask> relocated from Rathenow to the Potsdam quarter of Wilhelmshorst, and in 1958 he married Erna Heer who had for many years worked as his housekeeper. She was his second wife. He died four years later in 1962, following medical complications after he fell into a trench that was part of a project to build a house he had designed for himself and Erna.References

Early life

<mask> was born on 2 October 1929, in the Southern Highlands town of Mittagong, New South Wales, to Alice and Des Hunt. She left Mittagong after the fire season, and briefly lived on an island on the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland. After leaving Mittagong Primary School, she trained as a hairdresser, but inspired by Dame Gracie Fields decided she wanted to become an entertainer. By the age of 10, she had travelled to Britain with her family. Music, performing career and radio in Britain

She started her career in England in 1945, as a teenager of a mere 15 as a singing cigarette girl and became a celebrity there.She performed as both a solo artist and with backing group "The Rebels", whilst making studio recordings and featured in everything from theatre, cabaret, pantomime, and radio. She had her own shows including several for the BBC, including Meet Lorrae and Swing with Lorrae. Television in England

She also featured in her own comedy series Trouble for Two in 1958, and was in the cast of several of the Terry-Thomas TV specials. In his book Bounder (2008), Graham McCann states that <mask> might have even married Terry-Thomas, who had been her constant companion for ten years. Instead, the actor  married Belinda Cunningham, despite a 26-year age gap between the two. <mask> refuted this in an ABC interview in April 2008, saying that whilst she dated Thomas for 10 years, they would never have married.Career in Australia

The <mask> <mask> Show

Returning to Australia in the early sixties, her career kicked off in 1962, as presenter of the self-titled music variety show The Lorrae <mask> Show and in 1961, she made history by being the first woman on television to win the Gold Logie (which was in fact Silver, as women at the time received the Silver Statuette, and men received the Gold Statuette) The Gold Logie award that year was a dual honour, with Tommy Hanlon Jr. also winning the coveted trophy. She appeared in the TV play Red Peppers. Service with the Vietnam Entertainment Unit

The Australian Government invited her to tour Vietnam from 1967 to 1971, to entertain the troops. She was widely courted as being the Australian Forces Sweetheart, amongst others including Dinah Lee, Little Pattie, Cathy Wayne, Sylvia Raye, Lynne Fletcher and Jacqui De Paul. Australia didn't have its own honours system at the time, however <mask> was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1970 for services to "entertainment and the welfare of the Australian Forces in Vietnam". Television roles

<mask>'s television appearances include Homicide and Number 96 (1973) and Arcade (1980), both series written by David Sale, however the latter series was unsuccessful and cancelled after 16 episodes. Later, in 1997, she also had a guest appearance on Home and Away as Isobel Dupre, the mother of regular character Donald Fisher played by Norman Coburn.A Country Practice - Shirley Gilroy

<mask>, after having appeared in the ill-fated series Arcade, was touted by the Seven Network, alongside co-star Syd Heylen to appear in their new series A Country Practice which became her best-known role as Shirley Dean Gilroy, and appeared from the series' inception in November 1981 until 1992. In 1984 she won the Logie for Best Supporting Actress for this role. In one of the series' iconic episodes in 1992, Lorrae decided to leave the series and the long-running character Shirley was killed off in an off-screen plane crash, with the actress stating she did not want a prolonged death storyline arc like that of Molly Jones (Anne Tenney). Writing

<mask> co-wrote the lyrics to the musical Man of Sorrows (originally titled Jesus Christ Revolution) which premiered in Melbourne in 1972. About the industry, she said: What I really wanted to do was write lyrics for songs. I did do a few weeks in Home And Away after ACP, but I’m a bit sick of performing—after you've been doing it for 50 years you're just going around in circles! The thing I liked most about being a performer was putting the act together, which is why I've come back to writing.It's still pleasant to be recognized as Shirley because people are always nice to me. And with those ACP repeats on Hallmark, it goes from generation to generation. In 2001, she obtained the rights to write the lyrics for a musical play based on Bryce Courtenay's novel Smoky Joe's Cafe, about the effects of the Vietnam War on a veteran. The play, entitled Honey, premiered in 2007 at the Riverside Theatre Parramatta. She was also a magazine columnist for That's Life; she wrote an article called "Ask Lorrae", where readers would write in, asking for advice and information. <mask> took part in an A Country Practice reunion special in 2006, as part of the "Television Turns 50" celebrations, and the series' 30th-anniversary reunion in 2011. In 2017, Lorrae who was the first female to win a Gold Logie, appeared at the Logie awards, to present an award opposite her cousin's son, Chinese Australian actor and presenter Sam Pang.One-woman show

<mask> toured Australia, performing in High Society and her own one-woman show. Personal life

Prior to her marriage, <mask> was involved in a long-running affair of several years with the English comic actor Terry-Thomas. She died on 23 May 2021, Gold Coast, Queensland, aged 91. Awards

<mask><mask> (born July 18, 1967) is an author of popular history, spirituality, biography, poetry, fiction for young readers, and memoir. His most frequent subjects are Catholic, particularly St. Francis of Assisi, about whom <mask> has written The St. Francis Prayer Book, Francis of Assisi in His Own Words, When Saint Francis Saved the Church, The Complete Francis of Assisi, and The Enthusiast, a biography that Richard Rohr calls "An immense and important contribution to our understanding of the great saint." HBO optioned the film rights to The Pope Who Quit, <mask>'s historical retelling of the 13th century Pope Celestine V, who was the first pope to ever willingly resign the position. More recently, a series of young reader fiction, The Pope's Cat, was begun, the first of which published on March 1, 2018, before the fifth anniversary of the papacy of Pope Francis. He has also written a biography of the popular Jesuit priest <mask>, SJ. <mask> has been interviewed on CBS News, WGN-TV, Fox News, and WTTW's Chicago Tonight. He appeared on CBS Sunday Morning to talk about Saint Patrick on March 17, 2013.He is an independent scholar who lectures frequently and leads retreats. <mask> is also Editor at Large for Orbis Books in Maryknoll, New York. <mask> was born on July 18, 1967 in St. Charles, Illinois. At the time of <mask>'s birth, his father <mask> was the youth pastor at First Baptist Church in Wheaton, Illinois and mother Janet stayed at home with his older brother, Douglas (born July 1965). Soon after he was born, <mask>'s family relocated to Oregon, where his parents had been married in 1964. The family returned to Wheaton in 1969 and <mask> resided there until college. <mask> is included in the book Legendary Locals of Wheaton, by Keith Call.<mask> converted to Catholicism after spending twenty years as an active Episcopalian, on the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi (October 4) in Woodstock, Vermont, in 2009. He is married to <mask> Woll, a rabbi, and has four children. <mask> and Woll were profiled in "When a Jew and a Catholic Marry" by <mask> in America (magazine) in August 2017. He currently lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Education
<mask> attended Carl Sandburg Elementary School, Monroe Junior High (now Monroe Middle School), and Wheaton Christian High School (now Wheaton Academy), where one of his best friends was former U.S. House of Representatives member Randy Hultgren. He graduated high school in 1985. He attended Moody Bible Institute for one year and then transferred to Wheaton College where he majored in philosophy and Medieval studies, graduating in 1989.While at Wheaton, he was a teacher's assistant in the philosophy department and research assistant to the philosophy chair, Arthur F. Holmes, one of two professors to whom he dedicated his book, The Complete Francis of Assisi. In a later interview with The Irish Catholic, he reflects on his college interests: "Going back to my college days, I was a medieval history major, so I was very interested in the time period, and I think that was because I always saw it as a period in history that unified Christians of all backgrounds. It is the period of time before all the splits came into the Church so I always found that appealing. The more often one could go back to those figures or those stories and retell them or re-imagine them, I thought, the better." While in junior high and high school, <mask>'s father was a prominent publisher of Evangelical Christian books who introduced him to prominent religious figures such as Dr. Charles Caldwell Ryrie, Dr. <mask>, and Dr. George Sweeting, then president of Moody Bible Institute, the school in downtown Chicago that <mask> attended for his first year of college, and which his parents both attended. While at Moody, <mask> arranged to serve as a summer missionary in Batangas City, Philippines, an experience that he later wrote about in his memoir, Born Again and Again. <mask> grew up intent on becoming an evangelical pastor,  but practiced as an Episcopalian for 21 years of his adult life and converted to Catholicism in 2009.Today he keeps a Jewish home with his wife, a rabbi, although still practices and identifies as a Catholic. After finishing at Wheaton College (Illinois), <mask> was an M.Div. and then an M.A. student at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago. There he studied with Paul L. Holmer, among others, and focused on Kierkegaard and theology. <mask> has written about his relationship with Holmer. Eventually, <mask> left seminary without earning a degree.Literary career

<mask> began his career as a bookseller, first in Chicago, and then managing a theological bookstore in Central Square, Cambridge, MA, Divinitas Books. He saw his first works published at this time, poems and book reviews, in small journals including The Merton Seasonal, which was then edited by Robert Daggy. From bookselling he became a trade sales representative for Augsburg Fortress Publishing, traveling a seven-state territory in the Southeastern U.S. When promoted to trade sales manager two years later he moved his family to Minneapolis. Leaving there in 1997, <mask> moved to Vermont to join the "Ben & Jerry's of religious publishing," Jewish Lights Publishing. After seven years as vice-president of marketing and sales at Jewish Lights Publishing in Woodstock, Vermont, and co-founding SkyLight Paths Publishing, also in Woodstock, Vermont, as its associate publisher and editor-in-chief, <mask> became editor-in-chief and publisher at Paraclete Press in 2004, in Orleans, Massachusetts. He left there in 2015.After working at Franciscan Media as editorial director for one year, he became executive editor for trade books at Ave Maria Press in Notre Dame, Indiana. Today, he is both consulting editor-at-large for Ave Maria, and once again, publisher and editor-in-chief at Paraclete. <mask>'s involvement and collaboration with other writers goes back many years. At the 2006 Festival of Faith and Writing at Calvin College in Michigan, he interviewed poet and memoirist <mask> on the main stage. Two years later at the same venue, he interviewed <mask>.

Basil Pennington, Brother Wayne Teasdale, and <mask> Talbot. He also serves on the governing board of The Lux Center for Jewish-Christian Studies, located on the campus of Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology, serving greater Milwaukee. <mask>'s many books about Francis of Assisi have focused on debunking myths that he believes persist from films and novels of the 1960s and 1970s, such as the image of the "hippie" Francis that endures from "Brother Sun, Sister Moon," Franco Zeffirelli's 1972 movie. <mask>'s recent projects include a book of short excerpts of the medieval, Dominican Order mystic, <mask> Eckhart, retold as blank verse, coauthored with <mask>; and a history of the rift between Bernard of Clairvaux and Peter Abelard in the 12th century, titled The Saint vs. the Scholar. He has also recently published a biography of his late friend and colleague, Phyllis Tickle. He spoke about Tickle's life at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City on November 2, 2016. <mask> often writes for online and print publications, including about books for America (magazine) and book reviews and features for The Tablet in London.He often writes on popular culture, as well, on topics such as the Catholicism of Lady Gaga, and the strange theology behind the scenes in American evangelicals' support of the presidency of Donald Trump. Published the morning after evangelist Billy Graham's death, <mask>'s "How Billy Graham shaped American Catholicism" was widely shared on social media. On February 4, 2020 <mask> appeared in a live telecast at America Media in New York City with Fr. <mask>, to promote his biography of him: <mask>, SJ: In the Company of Jesus. Critical reception

Reception to <mask>'s work has been largely positive. His 2005 memoir about growing up in evangelicalism was praised by Betty Smartt Carter in the evangelical journal, Books & Culture: "To his credit, <mask> examines his story and its meaning with unusual humility. He doesn't claim superiority to the people he came from, only an inability to accept all that they taught him."Graham Christian said of The Complete Francis of Assisi, in a Library Journal review, "It is immensely valuable to have in one volume the key writings by and about Francis and his first disciples; essential for libraries and individuals looking to expand their knowledge of this influential saint." In a 2016 interview for The Irish Catholic magazine, <mask> Gargan describes The Enthusiast: "Blending history and biography, <mask>’s book reveals how Francis and Elias rebuilt churches, aided lepers and entertained as ‘God’s troubadours’ to the delight of the ordinary people who had grown tired of a remote and turbulent Church." She goes on to ask <mask> about the background of the book and his personal interest in St. Francis of Assisi. When Saint Francis Saved the Church won second place in the history category in the 2015 Catholic Press Association Awards for excellence. <mask> was also among five reviewers who received a first place award for best review section in America magazine for its "Fall Books 1" entry. Phyllis Tickle: Essential Spiritual Writings was recently named a finalist for a 2016 award from the Religion Newswriters Association for Religion Reporting Excellence. Author and activist Dan Savage mentioned having The Pope Who Quit on his coffee table in a 2013 New York Times "By the Book" interview.Anne Rice was a proponent of his book Inventing Hell, posting a link about it on her official Facebook page. The Chicago Tribune reviewed <mask> Eckhart's Book of the Heart together with poet <mask>'s Devotions in November 2017 and said of <mask>'s work, "A sure-footed path toward mastering one of the great masters of the last millennia." Publishers Weekly in December 2017 reviewed <mask>'s biography, Phyllis Tickle: A Life, giving it a starred review and concluding, "This loving biography impressively captures the grace Tickle demonstrated during a long, dedicated life." In May 2018, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel named the book as one of the "85 books for summer reading." Publishers Weekly in January 2018 reviewed <mask>'s collection, What I Am Living For, which includes essays by writers Pico Iyer, Sylvia Boorstein, <mask>, and Robert Barron (bishop), saying, "Timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Trappist monk <mask>’s death, this compilation of essays edited by <mask> (A Course on Christian Mysticism) provides a space for modern Christian writers to reflect on the ways <mask>’s life and writings have influenced their spiritual thinking." Also in January 2018, the popular website CatholicMom.com recommended <mask>'s forthcoming fiction for young readers, The Pope's Cat, saying: "The book is a great read for many reasons: first, the story of the independent cat is entertaining as she provides for herself. Second, the book is filled with good facts to teach children about the papacy and it makes the pope relatable to them.The illustrations are entertaining as well and are very large, so they’re easy for children to enjoy." In December 2018, <mask> was a guest on the Morning Glory radio program of EWTN talking about his children's series. Bury (2008)

<mask> (born 1948) is an Egyptian-Australian businessman from Adelaide, South Australia. He is most well known as the owner of Shiels Jewellers. He frequently appeared in television advertisements and became famous for his catchphrase "No Hoo-Haa". <mask> was born in Cairo, Egypt. His secondary education took place at the Christian Brothers College in Rose Bay, New South Wales followed by a stint at the London School of Economics. <mask> is of Jewish and French descent. In 1994, he helped to establish the Helpmann Academy, named in honour of famous South Australian Sir Robert Helpmann.The academy is designed to promote the arts in South Australia. He was the first chairman and is still a member of its board. At the 2002 South Australian state election, <mask> ran as a "No Hoo-Haa Party" candidate in the House of Assembly seat of Adelaide, receiving a primary vote of 2.4 percent (492 votes). His "how-to-vote" ticket indicated a first preference for the Liberal Party of Australia. Bensimon is also a donor to the Liberal Party. In 2006, <mask> was rejected twice for membership of the gentlemen's club, The Adelaide Club, which he claimed was due to anti-Semitism. This was denied by the Club president, who stated that it was "offensive" to suggest the club was racist and that it has "a diverse membership".In 2008, when another Egyptian-born Jewish businessman was accepted for membership, Bensimon claimed some credit for the move, saying "I broke the back of a small but influential element within the Adelaide Club." Early life
In 1969, <mask> married and he and his wife Nyra took off on a working holiday to Europe. They travelled on a motorbike for a year and then they decided to come home via Canada. They intended to work for a month in Canada but ended up living there seven years. In 1977, after extensive work experience in marketing studies, the Bensimon's decided to return home to Australia. And after many years in marketing, <mask> decided to turn his hobby for marketing jewellery into a career and decided to open up a jewellery store. <mask> would then go on to purchase Shiels Jewellers, a local jewellery store in the city from the recently widowed wife of Jack Shiels.When <mask> took over Shiels, the business had a turnover of around $100,000 per year. Using his knowledge of marketing and sales from his experience selling pharmaceuticals and computer software, <mask> decided to expand Shiels' product range to include more precious jewellery such as gold, silver and diamonds. The gift lines were dropped with the aim to establish a reputation for quality, value and range in the jewellery sector; especially in diamonds. Shiels Jewellers
Shiels Jewellers (known colloquially as Shiels) is an Australian jewellery retailer headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia. It sells bridal and diamond jewellery in a variety of metals, leather items, gemstone jewellery and watches for women, men and children. Shiels Jewellers is renowned for its quality, affordable diamond range and markets itself as the home of the 1 carat diamond. Founded in 1945 by South Australian jeweller Jack Shiels, the business initially had a single store which operated out of Adelaide's Central Market Arcade selling jewellery, giftware and silver-plated merchandise.Since <mask> took over the business in 1977, Shiels Jewellers has grown tremendously. Employing over 450 people, Shiels is a leading online retailer with stores in South Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia. During his travels, particularly Montreal and Toronto, Canada, <mask> noticed the success of suburban malls. Hypothesising that this would likely become a trend in Australia at some point, <mask> would open up his first suburban Shiels store at Westfield Marion. Located at Oaklands Park in Adelaide's south, the centre was the Westfield Group’s first suburban shopping mall in South Australia. He followed wherever Westfield went until he had approximately 10 stores in Australia. <mask> decided to keep the name “Shiels” to nurture the trust that already existed between the consumer and the business.He then led Shiels into being the first company to introduce “genuine discounting” in the Australian jewellery industry with his notorious advertising slogan, “No Hoo-Haa”. <mask> was also reportedly the “first jeweller in Australia to sell gold by the gram”. With prices ranging from $2 to $60,000, Shiels is best known for their commitment to making jewellery more accessible to the masses. They stock an array of well-known jewellery and watch brands including Seiko, Casio, G-Shock, Baby-G, Michael Kors, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, Disney Couture Kingdom, Skagen, Sekonda, Bulova, Pulsar, Olivia Burton, Daniel Wellington, Fossil, Citizen, Lorus, JAG, Flawless Cut, Memorie, Australian Diamond and Luminsce Lab Grown Diamonds. The brand launched their online store in 2011, establishing Shiels as a global company with strong relationships with suppliers from around the world, including:

 Italy
 Switzerland
 Germany
 Spain
 Belgium
 England
 United States
 India
 Thailand
 China
 Japan

<mask>'s son, Toby Bensimon took over as Shiels' managing director in 2013. Following the work from his parents, Toby is committed to offering expertly crafted jewellery for the best price and an enriching customer service experience. Under the care and guidance of the Bensimon family, Shiels Jewellers has earned a reputation for consistently making beautiful, unique and long-lasting jewellery pieces.It’s this reputation that enabled the business to expand from just one small store in Adelaide, to all the major shopping centres in metropolitan Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.

In 1972, he founded Soseol Munhak (“fiction and literature”), an association of writers based in Gwangju, South Korea. Members included Mun Sun-tae, Kim Sin-un, Kang Sun-sik, and Lee Gye-hong. He relocated to Seoul in 1980 and wrote full-time, producing bestsellers such as Aje aje bara-aje (아제아제바라아제 Aje aje bara-aje). The novel was made into a movie.Over his 50-year career, he has persistently written stories inspired by the shores of his hometown. He moved back to Jangheung in 1997 and has resided there since. His two children, <mask> and <mask>-rim, are also writers. Both <mask>ung-won and <mask> have won the Yi Sang Literary Award and Kim Tong-ni Literary Award. Writing
<mask>-won's works usually involve characters who are driven mad by desire and struggle against their tragic fate. While these characters express a deep sentiment of han, they are not entirely helpless against fate. Some destroy themselves in a fit of insanity, while others commit sins to fulfill their desires.They become trapped in a vicious cycle of suffering, reinforcing the theme of fate in <mask>'s works. One of <mask>'s best-known works is the novella Hyebyeonui gilson (해변의 길손 Wanderer on the Shore), which is loosely based on an ancient Korean hero myth. The book spans decades from Japanese colonial rule through the chaotic post-liberation period to the Korean War, modernization, and finally the Gwangju Uprising in the 1980s. The turmoils of modern Korean history is reflected in the tragic life of the protagonist Hwang Du-pyo. In a storyline reminiscent of Cain and Abel, the novel centers around the conflict between Hwang and his little brother, who is smarter and more loved by their parents. Literary critic <mask>-yong writes: “The tragedy of Hwang Du-pyo’s family originates from his inferiority complex and is correlated to Korean modern history; the tragedy of an individual expands into that of the nation. Another way to understand the novel is to focus on the psychology of its characters.In this kind of reading, one sees how Hwang’s bitter sense of inferiority grows as he experiences the tumults of history and how that compromises his integrity.”

Often set in his coastal hometown of Jangheung County, <mask>'s stories have a strong sense of place. The language, people, and environment of his hometown feature heavily in his works. <mask> has described the sea as “the womb of the universe” and the source of his creative inspiration. Works

<mask> (26 June 1843, Victoria Park Farm, Bath, England – 13 November 1905, Gloucester, England) was an English author, theologian and a Wesleyan Minister. He also published religious poetry. Parents
He was the son of <mask> (13 October 1816 – 17 February 1883, Reading ) of Bath and Mary Yeoman Harding (18 December 1812 – 10 January 1886, Lyme Regis) of "The Chancellor" Wanstrow, Somerset. The parents of <mask> (b. 1816) were <mask> (a dairyman) of 2 Quiet Street Bath, (born 2 March 1785 buried 6/2/1859) and Martha Edney (born 1789). <mask> was the son of <mask> (a Dairy farmer) of Walcot (buried 1809) and Hannah Hancock. <mask> was the son of <mask> and Martha Jane married at Bath Abbey on 6 August 1728.Rev. <mask> <mask>' father, <mask>, is recorded as being employed in a number of roles. In 1838, he is noted as a "yeoman" on a wedding certificate. This piece of evidence is particularly interesting as the whole document, including witnesses' signatures, is completed in the same hand as the Rector. All of the men on the certificate are described as yeomen. In 1851, his occupation was described as a "Carrier's Agent". In 1871, his occupation was recorded as "farmer" He is cited on family trees as a "dairy man".<mask> "after getting through two fortunes and driving his wife from home" was steadily employed by Huntley and Palmers of Reading where he died and was buried. His mother, Mary Yeoman <mask> née Harding, led "a life of much sadness, but her sweet disposition, like her mother's, made her a favourite with everybody". Mary Harding's brother was Joseph Harding who standardised the production of modern Cheddar Cheese. They were the children of Joseph Harding and Mary Yeoman. The parents of this Mary Yeoman were the diarists John Yeoman  and Mary Yeoman, both of Wanstrow. The Harding family had originally come from Pewsey, Wiltshire. Siblings
Rev.<mask> <mask> had three siblings (All four were born at Bath Park Farm):
 John Alonzo <mask> (born Bath Sept 1845) of Bruton who drowned at Stalbridge (20 July 1865) and was buried there (24 July 1865). This is documented as below:
"A fine young man, aged 20 years, residing at Whadden farm, Bruton, and who was on a visit to his sister (Mrs Collins), of this town. It appears that on the day in question he called at the house of Mr Eli Benjafield, Marshmoor farm, where he took dinner, leaving there about three o'clock, with two of Mr. Benjafield's sons (boys), for the purpose of bathing in the river Stour. He separated from the young Benjafields a few yards, undressed himself, and plunged into the water, and almost immediately afterwards he was seen struggling in the river. The boys were frightened, and called a to a man named Robert Turke, who was working within thirty yards of the spot, but he only reached the river in time to see the poor unfortunate man sink; and the water being very deep, the body was not got out for more than an hour afterwards. He is supposed to have been seized with cramp immediately upon entering the water, and was drowned in less than five minutes from the time he reached the river. An inquest was held at the Red Lion Inn, on the 20th inst by W.H.R.Bennett, Esq, deputy coroner, when the above factors were enumerated and the jury returned a verdict of "accidental Death". This account states the death occurred on the 19th. Mary Yeoman <mask> who married Alfred Collins (b. 1827) of Stalbridge and had thirteen children
 James Harding <mask> (31 January 1840 – 1877) of Edmonton, Canada. He married Fanny Patterson (1844–1863). He died in poverty soon after emigrating, but left descendants in Ontario. Their mother <mask> née Harding died at Stalbridge and was buried beside her son Alonzo's grave (see image).<mask> and Alonzo were educated at the expense of John Harding of Holly Bank, Balcombe, Dorset. This was because their father <mask> had "led a very intemperate and wild life and spent two fortunes in driving his wife and family homeless. It was not safe for her to continue living with [him] and so she came to my mother at Grosvenor House". Early life
In 1841 his parents were resident at Park Farm, Marlborough Street, Walcot, Lansdown, Bath with their one-year-old son James. In 1851 Vowles was resident at Kingsmead Terrace, Bath aged 8 and described as a scholar. He did not attend Kingswood school

<mask> died at his residence, Holmleigh, Kingsholm, Gloucester
A number of obituaries were published at the time of his death, in local Gloucester papers and Methodist publications. The following is repeated here verbatim:
"<mask><mask>: was born at Bath, 26 June 1843, and entered the Ministry in 1867. His first appointment was to Faversham, and he laboured in the active ministry until the Conference of 1901.He was an able preacher, a vigorous thinker, and a man of scholarly attainments. His freshness of thought and his power of lucid exposition made his sermons attractive and profitable. His sympathy with the young, his sound judgment, and his varied attainments won for him the confidence and affection of our people. He was cheerful and patient during his painful and prolonged illness, and his faith in his Lord and Saviour was expressed in the words of the Psalm which he had chosen to be read on the day of his burial: "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?". Much more might be said of his character and ministry; but it was his earnest request that as little as possible might be written about him. He died at Gloucester, 13 November 1905 in his sixty-third year and in the thirty-eighth of his ministry."References
