Gospel Space Juice, an acid jazz band i

that’s been getting much attention
recently, played stylish old favourites
and intriguing original compositions |
— ina mostly mellow summertime
mood. .

It was a magic evening and a
memorable event. The hundred or so
ticket holders, and assorted groupies,
agreed their cravings were more than
merely satisfied — and a blast ofa
time was had by all.

Mysticism & Civil

* Disobedience

Polysci and Religious Studies instructor
Ron Dart attended a course entitled
“Mysticism and Civil Disobedience” by
renowned German political theologian
Dorothee Soelle at the Vancouver
School of Theology in July.

Pictured (to the left) with Soelle

~-and her husband, Fulbert Steffensky,

Ron said the course drew many of the
leading social activists from the Lower
Mainland and the Northwestern United
States.

“The heartbeat and soul of the --
course was a sustained discussion of the
relationship between mysticism, within
various religious traditions, and
political protest, leading to civil
disobedience,” said Ron. “Much was
learned, and the highlight for me was
having breakfast and supper with
Dorothee each day.”

Soelle’s autobiography, Against the
Wind, will be published in English in
early 1999,
