Wearing brightly colored brocade obee and elaborate beaddreesee and arious masks, the dancers offer a llimpee into the mysteries of an an ient culture. The dances and chants lisplay a wide range of artistic ex iression from the elegant “Dakini lance” to the playful “Cemetery »rds” dance, in which the dancers rear special skeleton suits. The tradition of monastic dance or ‘cham” at Namgyal started during be time of the fifth Dalai Lama in the nid-16th century, but the roots of ‘cham” go back to the meditational tract!ces of Indian Tantric Buddhism hat were transmitted into Tibet «ginning in the eighth century. In Fibet many of these dances were only wrformed in Tantric rituals inside be monasteries. Others were part of rnblic ceremonies given by the nonasteries for the benefit of the community. Generally, Tibetan monastic dance s a form of meditation in which the lancer embodies the special qualities if a Tantric deity. The ornate M-ocade robes and ceremonial head iresses express the deity’s divine date. Other dances, including the ‘Black Hat Dance,” the “Deer Dance,” and the “Dance of the Old Man,” tell profoundly religious itorles. It is said that performance of base dances generates vast waves of sreatlve energy, bringing blessings, pace and harmony to all who witness them. The monks will accompany the lancers with chanting and traditional ■ ribetan Instruments: longhorns, thigh-bone trumpets, cymbals, bells ind hand-drums. Namgyal Monastery was founded in 1547 A.D., but it traces Its intellec tual and spiritual heritage back to the time of Buddha, who lived more than' 1,500 years ago. Namgyal is unique because it is the private monastery of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, religious and temporal leader of Tibet. Housed in the magnificent Potala palace in Lhasa, Namgyal was responsible for performing rituals and prayer ceremonies for the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan govern ment. The Chinese Communist invasion of Tibet, beginning in 1949 had, by 1959, forced the Dalai Lama and hundreds of thousands of Tibetans into exile in India. Namgyal was re-established in iDharamsala, where it struggles to preserve its endangered spiritual traditions. As refugees continue to [flee the Chinese occupation of Tibet, many young aspirants continue to come to Namgyal Monastery. The tour is an extension of a visit by senior monks to assist the Dalai Ijim in conferring the Kalachakra Initiation in Los Angeles in July. It was organised by Tibet House New York, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the preservation of Tibetan culture, and was undertaken in the hope of promoting world peace and to acquaint people with the rich spiritual culture of Tibet. Black uatnouca Say Response Tc Racism Too Siou CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP)-A group d black Roman Catholics in this city’s archdiocese says it’s frustrated with the church’s slow response to racial inequalities and wants a black ministries office restructured. A memo issued by Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk last week, in • willingness to fimsider reorganising the Office of Black Catholic Ministries, isn’t enough, said a group spokeswoman. “What is so disappointing is that a religious institution is being so insen sitive to the needs of its people,’’said spokeswoman Rachel Anderson. The group is asking the archdiocese to remove control of the ministries of fice from its department of communi ty services and its director, Boh Davis. It wants the church to re-Mrs former black ministries director Joyce g»h*», who resigned recently.

Stallings, Jr. denounced a report Monday that he had sex with an altar boy, calling it an effort to keep him from forming a separate black Catholic church. “I will not dignify with a response the scurrilous and baseless charge reported in today’s Washington Post,” he said. “I believe that this charge and accusation is a concerted effort to divert attention from my mission... to drive racial insensitivity and racism out of the Catholic Church.” The 28-year-old man, whom the Post agreed not to identify, told the paper that he had oral sex two or three times a week with Father Stall ings in a Washington church rectory for several months in 1977. The man, then 16 years old, said he never reported the relationship to church authorities. He signed a sworn statement stating that his story was true, the Poet said. Father Stallings, 41, grew up i New Bern and studied to become a priest in the Raleigh Diocese before being ordained in the Archdiocese of Washington. In July, he formed the Imani Temple, an independent African-American Catholic con gregation, in defiance of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. Cardinal James A. Hickey, the Washington archbishop, suspended Father Stallings after he formed the congregation, In a statement Monday, Cardinal Hickey said he was “sorry to read the allegation. If it is true then I feel great sorrbW and sympathy for everyone Involved.” Diocesan officials did say parishioners and other Catholics had become concerned over Father Stall ings’ conduct, the Post said. wvnus vunp»» To Celebrate Homecoming The Watts Chapel Baptlat Church will have its annual homecoming celebration ana worship service on Sept.

The proverb about sour grapes, quoted in Eieklel 18:2, was mentioned by the prophet Jeremiah in a similar connection. It obviously was a popular proverb among Israelites during their exile in Babylon. .Apparently the sour-grapes proverb arose from the awareness that children sometimes suffer ter the sins of their parents. In one sense, this was true of the Jews in exile. Eieklel himself had blamed the sufferings of the exile on the per sistent rebellion and un faithfulness of God’s people. And it still is true in our day. Consider how drug addicts aften pass on their dependency to their, offspring, and how abusive behavior toward children can be ST. JOSEPH Peartrte Lane At Poole Rd.
