Health Law & Business
A sign outside the U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 8, 2019, as the justices heard arguments in a case about whether the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination against LGBT workers. The justices later that term ruled the law protects transgender and gay workers from on-the-job discrimination.

'Not Completely Me:' Transgender Workers Fight for Health Care
By Erin Mulvaney
Wave of litigation considers transgender care coverage
Companies are adding benefits but state patchwork remains
Anna Lange walked into the Houston County, Ga., sheriff's department determined but terrified, not sure if she'd walk out with her job.
Known throughout a distinguished two-decade law enforcement career as a man, Lange told the sheriff in 2017 that going forward she would be her true self at work, use she/her pronouns, and don a female officer's uniform.
Lange now wears her brown hair shoulder length, is undergoing hormone replacement therapy, and is still on the force. The sergeant became the only openly transgender person in the 300-person department, and one of the few in law enforcement in the nation. But four years later, her transition continues.
"I still feel incomplete," she said. "I'm not completely me yet."
After meeting with two psychologists, an endocrinologist, and flying to New York City to visit a surgeon, Lange discovered that the county health plan wouldn't cover the gender-affirming care that her doctors recommended.
Lange paid $6,800 out-of-pocket for a breast augmentation surgery—the only procedure she could afford—and sued the county in federal court, arguing that its health plan discriminates against transgender workers. Her suit is among several ongoing cases that could change how transgender people are treated by states, private employers, and health insurance companies.
"It's important to realize that people's ability to present as themselves and access health care is inextricably related," said Ezra Cukor, senior staff attorney with the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund, which is representing Lange. "No one should have to go to federal court to get health care."
Other legal battles have emerged involving dress code violations, religious exemptions, and fertility coverage that reveal gaps for transgender workers, despite gains made for LGBT individuals in recent years. A Christian alliance on Tuesday sued to challenge federal civil rights protections that require medical coverage for transition-related care.
Major Fortune 500 companies, including Bank of America Corp., the Carlyle Group, and Salesforce, have expanded coverage for transition-related health care, but a recent Center for American Progress report finds one in two transgender workers saying they've been denied gender-affirming health care under their employers' plan.
"It's the law that you can't discriminate against a participant in an employer-sponsored health plan based on them being transgender. There are open legal questions about what that means in practice," said Sam Schwartz-Fenwick, a labor and employment partner at Seyfarth Shaw LLP, who represents companies and leads the firm's LGBT affinity group. "The law is at its inception in this area right now, and courts are struggling with it."
'Still a Common Problem'
Dozens of workers diagnosed with gender dysphoria—a mismatch between a person's biological sex and gender identity—have sued employers, insurers, and state health plans in recent years, according to a Bloomberg Law review of federal court cases. Transgender and nonbinary people experience distress related to gender dysphoria, which can be treated by hormone therapy or gender affirming surgery, which includes genital, breast, and facial reconstruction.
The wave of litigation claiming violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Affordable Care Act, and other statutes, is poised to be the next front for transgender workers rights.
"Unfortunately, it's still a common problem," said Avatara Smith-Carrington, a staff attorney with Lambda Legal, who is representing transgender workers fighting against medical bans. "Some of the exclusions are broad. Others exclude certain types of care. It could be a therapy appointment, coverage of hormone care, or surgeries."
Attorneys representing Houston County didn't respond to a request for comment, but they've argued that Lange had the same access to its health plan as other employees and that the county should be immune from the suit.

While transgender workers have largely won cases filed in recent years, the ongoing disputes take on new significance since last year's landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that expanded protections for LGBT workers.
Last month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued a first-of-its-kind ruling that allowed transgender workers to move forward with a lawsuit against North Carolina, denying the state's argument that its ban on health coverage for transgender workers should be protected by sovereign immunity to sidestep the ACA's protections against discrimination.
Attorneys representing North Carolina didn't respond to a request for comment.
'Being Targeted'
The transition process for a transgender person is individualized. The cost of surgeries can range from roughly $5,000 to as much as $100,000, on top of hormone therapy costs, voice therapy, and other care. Some coverage denial is broad; other plans deny only the more expensive procedures.
The American Medical Association has said that transition-related care is medically necessary to treat gender dysphoria. Untreated, the condition can lead to anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and other mental health issues, according to the American Psychiatric Association.
Julia McKeown, a transgender woman in Apex, N.C., and an assistant professor at the North Carolina State University College of Education, and plaintiff in the North Carolina lawsuit, took money out of her savings and retirement accounts to pay for surgeries and treatment after a wide range of health-care expenses were denied.
She's aware that funds could have been set aside for college tuition for her children, who are 5 and 8 years old, or early retirement.
"I felt that I was being targeted," McKeown said.
States have varying protections for health-care coverage for transgender individuals, including transition-related care. Transgender exclusions in health insurance coverage is prohibited in 24 states, but many states don't have a law guaranteeing LGBT inclusive insurance protections.
Transgender workers have sued states including Georgia, Arizona, Arkansas, Iowa, and Florida, claiming discrimination for benefits denials ranging from outright bans on coverage to carve outs that exclude certain procedures.
The states have raised a number of defenses in these cases, including arguments that the costs are too high, that the states should have sovereign immunity from the litigation, and that their plans don't discriminate against transgender people by eliminating certain coverage that's also denied to those who aren't transgender.
'Gray Area'
Blanket exclusions of transgender-related care in employer-sponsored plans aren't legal, but an open question is whether states can ban coverage in their plans, said Seyfarth Shaw's Schwartz-Fenwick.
Central to the disputes in court is whether an employer or insurer grants a cisgender person, whose identity aligns with the gender they were assigned at birth, a benefit that is denied to a transgender individual.
The challenge for courts is the analysis of "what is comparable and what isn't," Schwartz-Fenwick said. Medical plans do cover medically necessary procedures, but not cosmetic.
"A plan can draw their lines and say they don't give it to everyone. The law is at its inception in this area right now," he said. "That's where you get into that fact pattern. I think that's challenging for courts to be in this gray area."
Aetna, Inc. and Blue Cross Blue Shield have been sued over blanket exclusions for transgender health-care or fertility coverage. In some cases, they've expanded options, however.
Aetna now covers breast augmentation. Blue Cross of North Carolina expanded coverage to include facial surgery, voice therapy, and chest and genital reconstruction surgery.
Many transgender people denied health-care claims don't file lawsuits, said Jamison Green, former president of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.
"It's hard to go to the company and find what is actually covered and how to access that care," he said. "Leading companies are taking steps to make it much more available to their employees. A lot of people aren't willing to expose to the average HR clerk."
'Send a Message'
Cases will continue to test the reach of the June 2020 Supreme Court decision that included LGBT workers in sex discrimination protections under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
"Employment discrimination can show up in multiple ways," said Lambda Legal's Smith-Carrington. "The Supreme Court issued an amazing decision, but what does that mean on the ground?"
In Georgia, Lange says her transition has been a plus both for quality of life and her work as a law enforcement officer. But she continues to struggle over denial of gender-affirming health care, which has hindered efforts to legally update her sex.
And while many colleagues have been accepting, some still refuse to call her Anna.
"Attitudes like my employer and the county are common in the South and elsewhere," Lange said. "These kinds of cases need to be done so that a law will be put into place to end discrimination for trans people, and to send a message to counties or cities or states that this is a losing battle."

20 August, Gurugram: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has flagged concerns over a petrol pump posing a hurdle to the construction of an underpass on the Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road saying it wants it replaced at the earliest.
In its recent letter to the Haryana urban development authority (Huda) last week, the NHAI said work to finish the underpass project is on in full swing and expect for a portion of the site where the fuel dump is posing a hurdle, work is proceeding at pace. It said that work on that particular portion has been paused for several weeks now the petroleum station is to blame for the same.
The petrol pump falls in alignment of the underpass being constructed by the NHAI. Once it opens to traffic, the flyover will enable commuters to travel to Delhi via MG Road or Iffco Chowk Metro station should they drive from the Huda City Centre. The L-shape underpass, which is similar to the one at Rajiv Chowk that enables commuters to drive towards Delhi from the Medanta hospital, is aimed at decongesting traffic near the ABW tower.
"This is an important infrastructure project and the petrol pump is posing a hurdle to it. We have written to Huda voicing our concerns and are hoping for some action from their end over the next couple of days," Ashok Sharma, project director, NHAI, Gurgaon, said.
"NHAI has raised the issue several times with the local authorities, seeking removal of petrol pumps, high tension lines, crematoriums and other utilities, over the last six or seven months. The NHAI completed the flyover project at Hero Honda Chowk and work on an underpass at Rajiv Chowk is proceeding without any hurdles," the NHAI official said. The Huda officials have written to their headquarters in Chandigarh seeking a resolution of this issue at the earliest.

An Airdrie angling club which gives young people an opportunity to enjoy fishing has received funding from the Ross and Liddell Community Bursary Scheme.
Delletts Angling Club is a recipient of the property management company's fifth funding programme, which provides support to organisations all over Scotland.
The club was set up due to the lack of fishing clubs in Airdrie and surrounding areas. It promotes the sport and brings a small community together to provide a social activity for all.
The funding received from Ross and Liddell will be used to fund a yearly summer fishing trip for the Junior Delletts and encourage children to fish in local waters. The money will also be used to help with the cost of hiring a bus and buying engraved trophies and medals.
"The club started around thirty five years ago through word of mouth in the community and has been running ever since. It's been passed through the generations, so it would be upsetting to see the club unable to continue due to financial problems.
"We now have founders of the club bringing their grandchildren along so it's a great opportunity for everyone interested in fishing.
The club was founded by regulars at the Delletts public house in Airdrie around thirty-five years ago. The Junior Delletts club was then introduced to allow children to enjoy the sport. Members still meet once every month.
Delletts Angling Club is one of 31 groups to receive funding in this bursary year.
"It's so important that organisations like Delletts Angling Club have access to funding sources to ensure young people get the chance to fish and enjoy themselves.

The late spring early summer fishing has been good again this year with quality Chinook in the teens and plump chicken Halibut.
Day trips running out of Ucluelet are fishing offshore and inshore Barkley Sound with most boats getting their limits of Chinook and Halibut.
Lingcod fishing has also been good this season as well. Some of the trips have been rounding up their fish coolers with a few Dungeness crabs at the end of the day. Traps are set in the morning on their way out, and retrieved on the way back in.
The fleet will be fishing Ucluelet through the middle of June, space is still available!


Okay so the title of this blog post is deceptive because while these might look like chocolate truffles they are in fact a virtuous (and vegan) chocolate truffle impersonator. Rahul was vastly unimpressed by them but I am completely hooked on both the taste and the knowledge that they're low GI and full of other good bits and pieces. I offer a disclaimer - only consider making these treats if you are a tahini loving closet hippy!
Run the dried apricots through the food processor until they are diced up nice and small, and then add the honey, tahini and cocoa. Blend until the mixture resembles lumpy garden soil! Roll small balls of the chocolate mixture in the palm of your hand, and then dip them in the LSA mix. Refrigerate for half an hour and then eat at your leisure. The 'truffles' will keep in the fridge for 3 -4 days.

Today Obama went over to Israel to play good cop with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin. Now it's time for Michael Moore to play bad cop. He tweeted a message to Bibi (one that Obama wouldn't say) saying that the United States actually isn't going to go to war with Iran. Sorry, Charlie. Or sorry, Bibi.
Hey Bibi- B Obama couldn't tell u this, so I will (he usually leaves the tough love stuff up 2 me): We are NOT going 2 war with Iran. Sorry.

Global scientists make a scientific breakthrough discovery in astronomy.
Culture Magazin®
Through a historic global collaboration, scientists have taken a photograph of an invisible phenomenon, the mysterious black hole. Black holes are described in sci-fi movies as monstrous vacuums in space so strong that light cannot escape. Stories even go as far as to say that if you were ever caught in a black hole your body would be stretched and pulled into thin spaghetti.
What exactly are black holes and why is it so difficult to get a picture? A press release by the European Commission notes that black holes are extremely compressed cosmic objects (imagine stuffing all your belongings into a small cabinet), with a lot of mass in a very small region. These black holes affect their surroundings in extreme ways by warping space time and superheating any material that falls into them. In April, a team of international scientists for the first ever observed a black hole and took the first image of the occurrence with an Event Horizon Telescope.
Why is this one image a scientific breakthrough? According to many astronomers and physicists, including Albert Einstein, black holes are invisible. The only way to observe them is to study and monitor their surroundings – light emitting materials surround the black hole which provides an outline of the black hole. The Event Horizon Telescope was able to observe the outline of the black hole thanks to the light emitting materials and take a photo of the black hole. That is how the world's first image of a black hole was taken. The National Science Foundation, describes the achievement as a momentous and huge day in astrophysics and sciences around the world.
If you want to learn more about the universe and all its complexities and mysteries, visit your local science centre. As the late physicist Stephen Hawking once said, "Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious." – B.P.

Automotive Casting in China
The automobile industry is a very big consumer of cast products that are made using ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys. Different types of casting methods are used to for the production of automotive spare parts and accessories.
China is the largest producer and exporter of automotive castings in the world. As recorded, Chinese foundries, are responsible for nearly 50 percent of the world's total automotive casting output. To put that into perspective, China's casting production is nearly four times larger than that of the second leading producer, the United States.
Today, Chinese foundries, are often the only option available for automotive castings. American foundries have moved away from automotive castings, in part due to the high costs of making domestic molds (US made molds are around 70% higher in cost that molds made in China).
Different Casting Processes for Automotive Parts
The most common application for casting occurs in the automotive industry. In fact, the idea behind casting was originally created for automotive industry. Since vehicles require complex shapes and sizes for different parts of the vehicle, it is almost mandatory to use casting process. Due to the precise accuracy of this process, the need for further machining is practically non-existent. This alone saves an exuberant amount of time and money for the manufacturing of automobile parts.
Stainless Steel Casting: stainless steel is used to cast automotive parts because this type of casting material is resistant to corrosion and high temperature oxidation, which offers energy absorption properties and maintain mechanical properties over a wide temperature range. Typical part for automotive industry is cast stainless steel exhaust manifold.
Iron Casting: Iron casting is considered to creat automotive parts mainly on a basis of good price instead of quality. Grey cast iron and ductile cast iron are widely used to manufacture automotive components such as brake discs, cylinders heads, crankshaft, engine block, etc.
Aluminum Die Casting: Die casting is a technique where molten metal is poured into casting mold under pressure. The technique can also be used to make very small spare parts for vehicles in large batches. Die casting of aluminum alloys can creat lightweight automotive parts with good dimension accuracy and thermal properties.
Zinc Die Casting: Zinc has a lowering melting point, allowing for less energy during production. Die casting of zinc alloys provides strength, flexibility, and malleability for automotive parts that you cannot match with other materials. Examples of zinc die cast automotive parts are: retractor gears, seat belt pulleys, and camshafts, as well as a multitude of other parts on most vehicles.
CFS Foundry – The Best Automotive Casting Partner in China
CFS Foundry specializes in all types of metal castings for automotive industry. We have the ability to produce automotive castings in all shapes and sizes weighing as little as 0.02kg to 60kgs. At CFS, we follow a strict set of documented procedures and lean production methods. That means we're able to provide repeatable, consistent and cost-effective products to our automotive clients.

After their 2004 AGM UKUUG arranged for Jon Haslam, a Software Engineer at Sun Microsystems, to give a presentation on DTrace. While I missed the first thirty minutes of slides I did get to see the ninety minutes of practical demonstrations.
The official DTrace spiel, "Dynamic Tracing (DTrace) is one of the hot, new technologies in the next revision of Sun's Operating System, Solaris 10. DTrace provides the ability to generate concise answers to almost arbitrary questions about the behaviour of your systems, from the top of the application through to the bottom of the kernel." sounds quite impressive. What surprised me is that it seemed to work perfectly.

There are bad moves. This is a very bad move indeed. Naturally, the HR manager wasn't impressed to be receiving such missives. She reportedly called the police, who decided to have a chat with the unnamed 23-year-old job applicant. The man allegedly admitted to sending the pictures, but insisted he'd sent them to the wrong person. (The HR manager reportedly received the texts in the evening.). How convincing does that sound? How likely is it that one would send nude pictures of oneself without thoroughly checking that they were headed in the appropriate direction? Perhaps some people just think it's a commonplace activity these days. And texts do go astray on occasion.
The Elmurst Police Department wasn't immediately available inhale exhale english bulldog iphone case for comment, However, police chief Michael Ruth reportedly told the Chicago Tribune that the job offer extended to the man had been rescinded, The Tribune further says that the police report included these words: "(Police) advised the offender to cease any contact with the victim."The victim reportedly declined to pursue a case against the sexting applicant, Technically Incorrect: A Chicago man is said to have sent nude pictures to the recruiter for a company that's just offered him a job, He says they were intended for someone else..

As early as this fall, the tech giant hopes to gain regulatory approval to distribute a special China inhale exhale english bulldog iphone case version of its Google Play app store for smartphones running on its Android operating system, the website The Information reported Friday, citing unnamed sources, Google is also preparing to unveil as soon as this month a new China version of its Android Wear software to run wearables such as smartwatches, the publication said, For the app store, Google agreed to abide by local laws and block apps the government sees as objectionable, the report said..
Google declined to comment on the report. If Google makes these announcements, this would be a marked softening of its stance on China. In 2010, Google shut down its local search engine there and moved some operations to Hong Kong so it could avoid self-censoring its search results, as the Chinese government requires. Around the same time, Google also accused China of being involved in cyberattacks against it. The creation of software specific to China could give Google more control in that country over Android, which smartphone makers have been free to modify for their own devices, making for a fragmented market. Tighter control would make it easier for app developers to create new Android apps for China, the biggest smartphone market in the world, by users. A new Google app store would also help the company compete with local app stores, including those from Tencent, Baidu and Xiaomi.

We left Paul on that voyage which his friends induced him to undertake on the flight from Berea. The vessel was last seen among the Thessalian islands. About that point the highest land in Northern Macedonia began to be lost to view. Gradually the nearer heights of the snowy Olympus itself receded into the distance as the vessel on her progress approached more and more near to the center of all the interest of classical Greece.
For a distance of ninety miles, from the confines of Thessaly to the middle part of the coast of Attica, the shore is protected, as it were, by the long island of Euboea. Deep in the innermost gulf, where the waters of the Aegean retreat far within the land, over against the northern parts of this island, is the pass of Thermopylae, where a handful of Greek warriors had defied all the hosts of Asia.
In the crescent-like bay on the shore of Attica, near the southern extremity of the same island, is the maritime sanctuary of Marathon, where the battle was fought which decided that Greece was never to be a Persian Satrapy.
What made Athens unique in the world?
How many books did Paul write?
First century churches started on islands!
Attica is a triangular tract of country, the southern and eastern sides of which meet in the point of Sunium; its third side is defined by the high mountain ranges of Cithaeron and Parnes, which separate it by a strong barrier from Boeotia and Northern Greece. Hills of inferior elevation connect these ranges with the mountainous surface of the southeast, which begins from Sunium itself, and rises on the south coast to the round summits of Hymettus, and the higher peak of Pentelicus near Marathon on the east.
Athens and the Piraeus must never be considered separately. One was the city, the other was its harbor. Once they were connected together by a continuous fortification. Those who looked down from Lycabettus in the time of Pericles could follow with the eye all the long line of wall from the temples on the Acropolis to the shipping in the port. Thus we are brought back to the point from which we digressed.
We were approaching the Piraeus and, since we must land in maritime Athens before we can enter Athens itself, let us return once more to the vessel's deck, and look round on the land and the water. The island on our left, with steep cliffs at the water's edge, is Aegina. The distant heights beyond it are the mountains of the Morea. Before us is another island, the illustrious Salamis; though in the view it is hardly disentangled from the coast of Attica, for the strait where the battle was fought is narrow and winding.
The Piraeus, with its suburbs, was given to Athens as a natural advantage, to which much of her greatness must be traced. It consists of a projecting portion of rocky ground, which is elevated above the neighboring shore, and probably was originally entirely insulated in the sea. The two rivers of Athens, the Cephisus and Ilissus, seem to have formed, in the course of ages, the low marshy ground which now connects Athens with its port.
The port of Athens itself possesses all the advantages of shelter and good anchorage, deep water, and sufficient space. Themistocles, seeing that the pre-eminence of his country could only be maintained by her maritime power, fortified the Piraeus as the outpost of Athens, and enclosed the basin of the harbor as a dock within the walls. In the long period through which Athens had been losing its political power, these defenses had been neglected and suffered to fall into decay, or had been used as materials for other buildings: but there was still a fortress on the highest point; the harbor was still a place of some resort; and a considerable number of seafaring people dwelt in the streets about the seashore.
When the republic of Athens was flourishing, the sailors were a turbulent and worthless part of its population. And the Piraeus under the Romans was not without some remains of the same disorderly class, as it doubtless retained many of the outward features of its earlier appearance.
Had Apostle Paul come to this spot four hundred years before, he would have been in Athens from the moment of his landing at the Piraeus. At that time the two cities were united together by the double line of fortification, which is famous under the name of the "Long Walls." The space included between these two arms of stone might be considered (as, indeed, it was sometimes called) a third city; for the street of five miles in length thus formed across the plain was crowded with people, whose habitations were shut out from all view of the country by the vast wall on either side.
Some of the most pathetic passages of Athenian history are associated with the above "longomural" enclosure: as when, in the beginning of the Peloponnesian war, the plague broke out in the autumn weather among the miserable inhabitants, who were crowded here to suffocation; or, at the end of the same war, when the news came of the defeat on the Asiatic shore, and one long wail went up from the Piraeus, "and no one slept in Athens that night." The result of that victory was, that these long walls were rendered useless by being partially destroyed; and though another Athenian admiral and statesman restored what Pericles had first completed, this intermediate fortification remained effective only for a time.
In the incessant changes which fell on Athens in the Macedonian period, they were injured and became unimportant. In the Roman siege under Sulla, the stones were used as materials for other military works. So that when Augustus was on the throne, and Athens had reached its ultimate position as a free city of the province of Achaia, Strabo, in his description of the place, speaks of the Long Walls as matters of past history; and Pausanias, a century later, says simply that "you see the ruins of the walls as you go up from the Piraeus." Thus we can easily imagine the aspect of these defenses in the time of Apostle Paul, which is intermediate to these two writers.
What is true of the Agora is still more emphatically true of the Acropolis, for the spirit which rested over Athens was concentrated here. The feeling of the Athenians with regard to the Acropolis was well, though fancifully, expressed by the rhetorician who said that it was the middle space of five concentric circles of a shield, whereof the outer four were Athens, Attica, Greece, and the world.
The platform of the Acropolis was a museum of art, of history, and of religion. The whole was "one vast composition of architecture and sculpture, dedicated to the national glory and to the worship of the gods." By one approach only, through the Propylaea built by Pericles, could this sanctuary be entered. If Apostle Paul went up that steep ascent on the western front of the rock, past the Temple of Victory, and through that magnificent portal, we know nearly all the features of the idolatrous spectacle he saw before him.
At the entrance, in conformity with his attributes, was the statue of Mercurius Propylaeus. Farther on, within the vestibule of the beautiful enclosure, were statues of Venus and the Graces. The recovery of one of those who had labored among the edifices of the Acropolis was commemorated by a dedication to Minerva as the goddess of Health. There was a shrine of Diana, whose image had been wrought by Praxiteles. Intermixed with what had reference to divinities were the memorials of eminent men and of great victories. The statue of Pericles, to whom the glory of the Acropolis was due, remained there for centuries.
Among the sculptures on the south wall was one which recorded a victory we have alluded to, that of Attalus over the Galatians. Nor was the Roman power without its representatives on this proud pedestal of Athenian glory. Before the entrance were statues of Agrippa and Augustus; and at the eastern extremity of the esplanade a temple was erected in honor of Rome and the Emperor.
Formed from the brazen spoils of the battle of Marathon, the Minerva Promachus rose in gigantic proportions above all the buildings of the Acropolis, and stood with spear and shield as the tutelary divinity of Athens and Attica. It was the statue which may have caught the eye of Apostle Paul himself, from the deck of the vessel in which he sailed round Sunium to the Piraeus. Now he had landed in Attica, and beheld all the wonders of that city which divides with one other city all the glory of Heathen antiquity. He had seen the creations of mythology represented to the eye, in every form of beauty and grandeur, by the sculptor and the architect. And the one overpowering result was the response from Paul.
Now those who were conducting Paul brought him to Athens; and after receiving Paul's command to Silas and Timothy to come to him as quickly as possible, they departed. But while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he saw that the city was wholly given to idolatry, and his spirit was sorely moved within him. (Acts 17:15 - 16, HBFV).
But we must associate Apostle Paul, not merely with the Religion, but with the Philosophy, of Greece. And this, perhaps, is our best opportunity for doing so, if we wish to connect together, in this respect also, the appearance and the spirit of Athens.
If the Apostle looked out from the pedestal of the Acropolis over the city and the open country, he would see the places which are inseparably connected with the names of those who have always been recognized as the great teachers of the pagan world. In opposite directions he would see the two memorable suburbs where Aristotle and Plato, the two pupils of Socrates, held their illustrious schools. Their positions are defined by the courses of the two rivers to which we have already alluded.
At one spot, near the base of Lycabettus, was a sacred enclosure. Here was a statue of Apollo Lycius, represented in an attitude of repose, leaning against a column, with a bow in the left hand and the right hand resting on his head. The god gave the name to the Lyceum. Here among the groves, the philosopher of Stagirus, the instructor of Alexander, used to walk. Here he founded the school of the Peripatetics. To this point an ancient dialogue represents Socrates as coming, outside the northern city-wall, from the grove of the Academy. Following, therefore, this line in an opposite direction, we come to the scene of Plato's school.
But the Academicians and Peripatetics are not the schools to which our attention is called in considering the biography of Apostle Paul. We must turn our eye from the open country to the city itself, if we wish to see the places which witnessed the rise of the Stoics and Epicureans.
It is this tenderness of affection which first strikes us, when we turn from the manifold wonders of Athens to look upon the Apostle himself. The existence of this feeling is revealed to us in a few words in the Epistle to the Thessalonians. He was filled with anxious thoughts concerning those whom he had left in Macedonia, and the sense of solitude weighed upon his spirit. Silas and Timothy were not arrived, and it was a burden and a grief to him to be "left in Athens alone."
Modern travelers have often felt, when wandering alone through the streets of a foreign city, what it is to be out of sympathy with the place and the people. The heart is with friends who are far off; and nothing that is merely beautiful or curious can effectually disperse the cloud of sadness. If, in addition to this instinctive melancholy, the thought of an irreligious world, of evil abounding in all parts of society, and of misery following everywhere in its train, - if this thought also presses heavily on the spirit, - a state of mind is realized which may be some feeble approximation to what was experienced by the Apostle Paul in his hour of dejection. But with us such feelings are often morbid and nearly allied to discontent. We travel for pleasure, for curiosity, for excitement. It is well if we can take such depressions thankfully, as the discipline of a worldly spirit.
Paul traveled that he might give to others the knowledge of salvation. His sorrow was only the cloud that kindled up into the bright pillar of the divine presence. He ever forgot himself in his Master's cause. He gloried that God's strength was made perfect in his weakness. It is useful, however, to us, to be aware of the human weakness of that heart which God made strong. Paul was indeed one of us. He loved his friends, and knew the trials both of anxiety and loneliness.
The mere enumeration of the visible objects with which the city of the Athenians was crowded, bears witness (to use Apostle Paul's own words) to their "carefulness in Religion." The judgment of the Christian Apostle agreed with that of his Jewish contemporary Josephus, - with the proud boast of the Athenians themselves, exemplified in Isocrates and Plato, - and with the verdict of a multitude of foreigners, from Livy to Julian, - all of whom unite in declaring that Athens was peculiarly devoted to religion.
Replete as the whole of Greece was with objects of devotion, the antiquarian traveler informs us that there were more gods in Athens than in all the rest of the country; and the Roman satirist hardly exaggerates, when he says that it was easier to find a god there than a man. But the same enumeration which proves the existence of the religious sentiment in this people, shows also the valueless character of the religion which they cherished.
It was a religion which ministered to art and amusement, and was entirely destitute of moral power. Taste was gratified by the bright spectacle to which the Athenian awoke every morning of his life. Excitement was agreeably kept up by festal seasons, gay processions, and varied ceremonies. But all this religious dissipation had no tendency to make him holy. It gave him no victory over himself: it brought him no nearer to God. A religion which addresses itself only to the taste is as weak as one that appeals only to the intellect.
The Greek religion was a mere deification of human attributes and the powers of nature. It was doubtless better than other forms of idolatry which have deified the brutes; but it had no real power to raise him to a higher position than that which he occupied by nature. It could not even keep him from falling continually to a lower degradation.
To the Greek this world was everything: he hardly even sought to rise above it. And thus all his life long, in the midst of every thing to gratify his taste and exercise his intellect, he remained in ignorance of God. This fact was tacitly recognized by the monuments in his own religious city. The want of something deeper and truer was expressed on the very stones. As we are told by a Latin writer that the ancient Romans, when alarmed by an earthquake, were accustomed to pray, not to any specified divinity, but to a god expressed in vague language, as avowedly Unknown; so the Athenians acknowledged their ignorance of the True Deity by the altars "with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD," which are mentioned by Heathen writers, as well as by the inspired historian. Whatever the origin of these altars may have been, the true significance of the inscription is that which is pointed out by the Apostle himself (Acts 17:23).
The Athenians were ignorant of the right object of worship. But if we are to give a true account of Athenian religion, we must go beyond the darkness of mere ignorance into the deeper darkness of corruption and sin. The most shameless profligacy was encouraged by the public works of art, by the popular belief concerning the character of the gods, and by the ceremonies of the established worship. Authorities might be crowded in proof of this statement, both from Heathen and Christian writings. It is enough to say with Seneca, that "no other effect could possibly be produced, but that all shame on account of sin must be taken away from men, if they believe in such gods;" and with Augustine, that "Plato himself, who saw well the depravity of the Grecian gods, and has seriously censured them, better deserves to be called a god, than those ministers of sin."
When we turn from the Religion of Athens to take a view of its Philosophy, the first name on which our eye rests is again that of Socrates. This is necessarily the case, not only because of his own singular and unapproached greatness; but because he was, as it were, the point to which all the earlier schools converged, and from which the later rays of Greek philosophy diverged again.
The earlier philosophical systems, such as that of Thales in Asia Minor, and Pythagoras in Italy, were limited to physical inquiries: Socrates was the first to call man to the contemplation of himself, and became the founder of ethical science. A new direction was thus given to all the philosophical schools which succeeded; and Socrates may be said to have prepared the way for the gospel, by leading the Greek mind to the investigation of moral truth. The biographer of Apostle Paul has only to speak of the Stoics and Epicureans.
They only, among the various philosophers of the day, are mentioned as having argued with the Apostle; and their systems had really more influence in the period in which the Gospel was established, though, in the Patristic and Mediaeval periods, the older systems, in modified forms, regained their sway. The Stoic and Epicurean, moreover, were more exclusively limited than other philosophers to moral investigations, - a fact which is tacitly implied by the proverbial application of the two words to moral principles and tendencies which we recognize as hostile to true Christianity.
If Stoicism, in its full development, was utterly opposed to Christianity, the same may be said of the very primary principle of the Epicurean school. If the Stoics were Pantheists, the Epicureans were virtually Atheists. Their philosophy was a system of materialism, in the strictest sense of the word. In their view, the world was formed by an accidental concourse of atoms, and was not in any sense created, or even modified, by the Divinity. They did indeed profess a certain belief in what were called gods; but these equivocal divinities were merely phantoms, - impressions on the popular mind, - dreams, which had no objective reality, or at least exercised no active influence on the physical world or the business of life.
The Epicurean deity, if self-existent at all, dwelt apart, in serene indifference to all the affairs of the universe. The universe was a great accident, and sufficiently explained itself without any reference to a higher power. The popular mythology was derided, but the Epicureans had no positive faith in any thing better. As there was no creator, so there was no moral governor. All notions of retribution and of judgment to come were of course forbidden by such a creed.
The principles of the atomic theory, when applied to the constitution of man, must have caused the resurrection to appear an absurdity. The soul was nothing without the body; or rather, the soul was itself a body, composed of finer atoms, or at best an unmeaning compromise between the material and immaterial. Both body and soul were dissolved together and dissipated into the elements; and when this occurred, all the life of man was ended. The moral result of such a creed was necessarily that which the Apostle Paul described (1Corinthians 15:32).
The essential principle of the Epicurean philosopher was that there was nothing to alarm him, nothing to disturb him. His furthest reach was to do deliberately what the animals do instinctively. His highest aim was to gratify himself. With the coarser and more energetic minds, this principle inevitably led to the grossest sensuality and crime; in the case of others, whose temperament was more commonplace, or whose taste was more pure, the system took the form of a selfishness more refined.
As the Stoic sought to resist the evil which surrounded him, the Epicurean endeavored to console himself by a tranquil and indifferent life. He avoided the more violent excitements of political and social engagements, to enjoy the seclusion of a calm contentment. But pleasure was still the end at which he aimed; and if we remove this end to its remotest distance, and understand it to mean an enjoyment which involves the most manifold self-denial, - if we give Epicurus credit for taking the largest view of consequences, - and if we believe that the life of his first disciples was purer than there is reason to suppose, - the end remains the same.
Pleasure, not duty, is the motive of moral exertion; expediency is the test to which actions are referred; and the self-denial itself, which an enlarged view of expediency requires, will probably be found impracticable without the grace of God. Thus, the Gospel met in the Garden an opposition not less determined, and more insidious, than the antagonism of the Porch. The two enemies it has ever had to contend with are the two ruling principles of the Epicureans and Stoics, - Pleasure and Pride. Such, in their original and essential character, were the two schools of philosophy with which Apostle Paul was brought directly into contact.
Two different impressions were produced by Apostle Paul's words according to the disposition of those who heard him. Some said that he was a mere "babbler," and received him with contemptuous derision. Others took a more serious view, and, supposing that he was endeavoring to introduce new objects of worship, had their curiosity excited, and were desirous to hear more.
Two such classes are usually found among those to whom truth is presented. When Paul came among the Athenians, he came "not with enticing words of man's wisdom," and to some of the "Greeks" who heard him the Gospel was "foolishness;" (See 1Corinthians 1:18 - 2:5) while in others there was at least that curiosity which is sometimes made the path whereby the highest truth enters the mind; and they sought to have a fuller and more deliberate exposition of the mysterious subjects, which now for the first time had been brought before their attention.
The place to which they took Paul was the summit of the hill of Areopagus, where the most awful court of judicature had sat from time immemorial, to pass sentence on the greatest criminals, and to decide the most solemn questions connected with religion. The judges sat in the open air, upon seats hewn out in the rock, on a platform which was ascended by a flight of stone steps immediately from the Agora.
On this spot a long series of awful causes, connected with crime and religion, had been determined, beginning with the legendary trial of Mars, which gave to the place its name of "Mars' Hill." A temple of the god, as we have seen, was on the brow of the eminence; and an additional solemnity was given to the place by the sanctuary of the Furies, in a broken cleft of the rock, immediately below the judges' seats.
Even in the political decay of Athens, this spot and this court were regarded by the people with superstitious reverence. It was a scene with which the dread recollections of centuries were associated. It was a place of silent awe in the midst of the gay and frivolous city.
Those who withdrew to the Areopagus from the Agora, came, as it were, into the presence of a higher power. No place in Athens was so suitable for a discourse upon the mysteries of religion. We are not, however, to regard Apostle Paul's discourse on the Areopagus as a formal defense, in a trial before the court. The whole aspect of the narrative in the Acts, and the whole tenor of the discourse itself, militate against this supposition. The words, half derisive, half courteous, addressed to the Apostle before he spoke to his audience, "May we know what this new doctrine is?" are not like the words which would have been addressed to a prisoner at the bar; and still more unlike a judge's sentence are the words with which he was dismissed at the conclusion, "We will hear thee again of this matter."
We may, indeed, admit that there was something of a mock solemnity in this adjournment from the Agora to the Areopagus. The Athenians took the Apostle from the tumult of public discussion, to the place which was at once most convenient and most appropriate. There was every thing in the place to incline the auditors, so far as they were seriously disposed at all, to a reverent and thoughtful attention. It is probable that Dionysius, with other Areopagites, were on the judicial seats. And a vague recollection of the dread thoughts associated by poetry and tradition with the Hill of Mars may have solemnized the minds of some of those who crowded up the stone steps with the Apostle, and clustered round the summit of the hill, to hear his announcement of the new divinities.
In this scene Apostle Paul spoke, probably in his wonted attitude, "stretching out his hand;" his bodily aspect still showing what he had suffered from weakness, toil, and pain; and the traces of sadness and anxiety mingled on his countenance with the expression of unshaken faith. Whatever his personal appearance may have been, we know the words which he spoke. And we are struck with the more admiration, the more narrowly we scrutinize the characteristics of his address.
To defer for the present all consideration of its manifold adaptations to the various characters of his auditors, we may notice how truly it was the outpouring of the emotions which, at the time, had possession of his soul. The mouth spoke out of the fulness of the heart. With an ardent and enthusiastic eloquence he gave vent to the feelings which had been excited by all that he had seen around him in Athens.
We observe, also, how the whole course of the oration was regulated by his own peculiar prudence. He was placed in a position, when he might easily have been insnared into the use of words which would have brought down upon him the indignation of all the city. Had he begun by attacking the national gods in the midst of their sanctuaries and with the Areopagites on the seats near him, he would have been in almost as great danger as Socrates before him. Yet he not only avoids the snare, but uses the very difficulty of his position to make a road to the convictions of those who heard him. He becomes a Heathen to the Heathen. He does not say that he is introducing new divinities. He rather implies the contrary, and gently draws his hearers away from polytheism by telling them that he was making known the God whom they themselves were ignorantly endeavoring to worship.
Others of those who were present on the Areopagus said, with courteous indifference, that they would "hear him again on the subject." The words were spoken in the spirit of Felix, who had no due sense of the importance of the matter, and who waited for "a convenient season." Thus, amidst the derision of some, and the indifference of others, Apostle Paul was dismissed, and the assembly dispersed.
But though the Apostle "departed" thus "from among them," and though most of his hearers appeared to be unimpressed, yet many of them may have carried away in their hearts the seeds of truth, destined to grow up into the maturity of Christian faith and practice. We cannot fail to notice how the sentences of this interrupted speech are constructed to meet the cases in succession of every class of which the audience was composed.
Each word in the address is adapted at once to win and to rebuke. The Athenians were proud of every thing that related to the origin of their race and the home where they dwelt. Apostle Paul tells them that he was struck by the aspect of their city; but he shows them that the place and the time appointed for each nation's existence are parts of one great scheme of Providence, and that one God is the common Father of all nations of the earth. For the general and more ignorant population, some of whom were doubtless listening, a word of approbation is bestowed on the care they gave to the highest of all concerns; but they are admonished that idolatry degrades all worship, and leads men away from true notions of the Deity.
That more educated and more imaginative class of hearers, who delighted in the diversified mythology which personified the operations of nature and localized the divine presence in sanctuaries adorned by poetry and art, are led from the thought of their favorite shrines and customary sacrifices, to views of that awful Being who is the Lord of heaven and earth, and the one Author of universal life.
And when the Stoic heard the Apostle say that we ought to rise to the contemplation of the Deity without the intervention of earthly objects, and that we live and move and have our being in Him - it might have seemed like an echo of his own thought - until the proud philosopher learnt that it was no pantheistic diffusion of power and order of which the Apostle spoke, but a living center of government and love - that the world was ruled, not by the iron necessity of Pate, but by the providence of a personal God - and that from the proudest philosopher repentance and meek submission were sternly exacted.
Above all, we are called upon to notice how the attention of the whole audience is concenterd at the last upon Jesus Christ, though His name is not mentioned in the whole-speech. Before Apostle Paul was taken to the Areopagus, he had been preaching "Jesus and the resurrection;" (Acts 17:18) and though his discourse was interrupted, this was the last impression he left on the minds of those who heard him. And the impression was such as not merely to excite or gratify an intellectual curiosity, but to startle and search the conscience. Not only had a revival from the dead been granted to that man whom God had ordained - but a day had been appointed on which by Him the world must be judged in righteousness.
Of the immediate results of this speech we have no further knowledge, than that Dionysius, a member of the Court of Areopagus, and a woman whose name was Damaris, with some others, were induced to join themselves to the Apostle, and became converts to Christianity.
Who was resurrected right after Jesus?
Is God's kingdom within each person?
