  The Life and Miracles of St...

  The Venerable Bede

  For centuries, St Cuthbert (c. 634-687) was the most worshipped saint in England, revered for his virtuous life and his miracles. Even centuries after his death, stories were told of his body remaining ‘incorrupt’ in his tomb. What we know about his work and character comes from the records and significantly from the writings of the Venerable Bede (673-735). His Life of St Cuthbert (published in 721) was part of the tradition of hagiography, a reverential biography of a saint. Bede diligently collected accounts, both written and word of mouth, to compile his work.   
   
  Probably born in Northumberland and educated by monks - initially at Melrose Abbey - Cuthbert’s religious practice, unusually, encompassed activities as monk, bishop and finally hermit. The numerous reports of his piety, his virtue, his ascetism and a reputation for healing made him a respected figure in his lifetime. These were difficult political times, and he clearly had diplomatic and administrative skills as well, which led to his appointment as bishop of Lindisfarne. However, his personal monastic leanings made him unhappy to occupy such a worldly position, and after a short time he resigned. Feeling his death was imminent he retired to his cell on Inner Farne island where, after a period of illness, he died. Bede’s endearing Life, written within living memory of its subject, presents an untarnished view of St Cuthbert, whose shrine in Durham Cathedral, nearly 1,400 years on, continues to attract visitors and pilgrims.

  Integrity - The Foundation of...

  Integrity is the cornerstone of trust, and trust is essential in every aspect of our lives. Whether in personal relationships, the workplace, or society as a whole, integrity is what binds us together and ensures that we can rely on one another. Without integrity, trust is compromised, and relationships become fragile, leading to misunderstandings, broken bonds, and lost opportunities. It is the foundation upon which all other virtues are built, and it is a key element that defines who we are as individuals and how we are perceived by others. 
  At its core, integrity is about being true to one’s principles and values, regardless of the circumstances. It means doing the right thing, even when no one is watching, and maintaining consistency between one’s beliefs, actions, and words. Integrity is not about perfection; rather, it is about being honest, transparent, and committed to doing what is right, even when it’s difficult or inconvenient. 
  One of the most powerful aspects of integrity is its ability to build trust. When we demonstrate integrity, others come to rely on our word and actions. Trust is built over time through repeated demonstrations of honesty, consistency, and reliability. Integrity fosters an environment where people feel safe, respected, and valued. It is the glue that holds relationships together, whether in families, friendships, or workplaces. People with integrity are seen as dependable, ethical, and authentic, making them natural leaders and role models.

  Sherman Makes Georgia Howl: The...

  Both Grant and Sherman shared the same theory of war: anything that might help the enemy's war effort should be considered a military target. After the Atlanta campaign, Grant explained to Sherman that the Confederates must be “demoralized and left without hope,” and he instructed Sherman, “Take all provisions, forage and stock wanted for the use of your command. Such as cannot be consumed, destroy. Leave the valley so barren that crows flying over it...will have to carry their provender with them.” This strategy sought the total economic collapse of the South, as well as completely disabling the South’s capability of fielding armies. In addition to the wholesale plundering of Southern resources, including taking them from civilians, the Union reversed its policy of swapping prisoners, realizing it had a far bigger reserve of manpower than the South. The Atlanta Campaign was a perfect example of this, as both sides lost about the same number of casualties. By September 1864, however, Sherman still had about 80,000 men, while Hood’s army was reduced to about 30,000. 
  Following the design of Grant's innovative and successful Vicksburg Campaign, Sherman's armies eliminated their need for traditional supply lines by living off the land. 	Ultimately, Sherman’s armies cut a path of abject destruction 60 miles wide and 300 hundred miles long from Atlanta to Savannah, which some likened to a Biblical blight. And as Sherman had intended, he did indeed made Georgia “howl.”  
  Due in large part to the March to the Sea, Sherman remains controversial across much of the United States today. The South considered him akin to a terrorist and adamantly insisted that he was violating the norms of warfare by targeting civilians. In many ways, Sherman is still the scourge of the South nearly 160 years after he vowed to make Georgia howl.
