Catholic Worker Movement

The UCC is both a very young tradition and a very old church. We are four traditions with significant history, filled with both beauty and ugliness, that combined to create something new, in 1957. As a former Catholic, I love and appreciate history, and where history matters most and is most fascinating is looking at how different strands change or end or wind into the present and the future, often in surprising ways. The UCC traces its roots back to four different denominations, each of which brought unique history and characteristics.

Most Americans have some exposure to the Congregationalists through…

Music Description Langsam . Schleppend (Slowly, dragging) The first movement was in modified sonata form and started off with strings playing harmonics creating a ghostly scene and then the woodwinds play a rhythm pattern. As the piece goes on, it is obvious that Mahler is trying to recreate a nature scene in his first movement. To match the dark setting that started the movement is little bits of music that poke out. An example would be, throughout the sluggish melody an awaking would call…

Formally, the first movement of the Quintet is of considerable interest. The interest is generated not by a problem in determining the overall form, for that is clearly sonata form. Rather, it is in determining the exact location of the main sections and subsections within the sonata form. The sections which will most concern our discussion are the introductions, the exposition and the developmental section. I say introductions as plural as it appears actually be two sections of music.

history, there have been outlines of mistreatment and abuse of immigrant workers by businesses in order to obtain wealth. The Latino workers of California would become the most recent group of individuals to fall into this form of abuse typically because of their lack of association. Cesar Chavez, a great coordinator, and leader in fighting for farm workers’ rights was chief executive of the United Farm Workers Union. As a Mexican-American, he would become a noticeable labor organizer and union…
