In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Editor's Notes
When considering nonverbal communication as a viable way people communicate meaning to others, we must first define nonverbal communication, so that we can grasp a better understanding of what it means before attaching any cultural application. In (2005), Beebe, Beebe and Redmond define nonverbal communication as “communication other than written or spoken language that creates meaning for someone” (p. 86) Based on this definition we need to identify types of nonverbal communication that would not fall under the written word or spoken language umbrella. One such form of communication that is nonverbal in nature and communicates meaning for someone is symbolism. Symbols trigger meaning! Symbols can be gestures or visual images that represent thoughts, concepts, objects or experiences, or they can be representative of the body, like posture or facial expression, how we dress and accessorize with the use of clothing and jewelry; all of which can be perceived to express ideas, attitudes, and feelings (Beebe, p. 6). Identifying a better understanding of what nonverbal communication can look like, let’s apply that knowledge to the Country of Tibet and see what meaning we can derive from the clothing they wear in an attempt to understand their culture from a non written and verbal communicational standpoint.
The Tibetan culture having evolved over thousands of years, has created its own unique styles of dress depending on simple differences in location, which divides the country North and South. “Northerners who live in a much colder climate also live a much more nomadic, simplistic and prosperous lifestyle as herdsman, than their Southern counterparts. Their clothes are mad of silk and furred robes and are decorated colorful cloth stripes” (Eastbay, 2010). “Southerners on the other hand live a much harder life than their Northern neighbors, toiling the land. As farmers reaping the fruits of their labor, their clothes are much less ornate and light weight due to the type of work and warmer and more humid climate” (Eastbay, 2010). To an even further extent, Northerners or Southerners can be broken down even further with even “different styles of clothing and ornament that are specifically influenced by different sects within their own religious views” (Eastbay, 2010). That being said, these simple differences in clothing define social status or religious sect differences for the people of Tibet, without a single word being said. Observance is the key, but to an outsider they will most likely only pick up on social status differences.
Other Symbols unspoken in the Tibetan culture are related to clothing etiquette for which the wearer appears in public or shows respect or demonstrated in a right of passage. For the lady, an Apron is an important article of clothing which is worn in addition to her standard attire. Women in all regions of Tibet “wear colorfully striped aprons and braid strips of colored cloth into their hair, and wear gold and silver ornaments, silver jewelry with coral and turquoise and a prayer necklace to indicate that they are married” (Hays, 2010). Womanhood is also demonstrated with a visible symbolism. At the age of 16 a lady will go through a ceremony passing from childhood to womanhood. At this point “her hairstyle, clothing, ornaments, and name will be changed to show her newly acquired womanhood. Braiding their hair into more than ten braids, girls are particularly subject to customs relating to headgear which is called "heavenly head" (Tours, 2011). It is usually quite colorful and ornate. Another unspoken symbol of Tibetan culture is a piece of pure white silk scarf named Hada. “This scarf is a favorite of the Tibetans and represents the most precious gift in a Tibetans’ eyes; usually presented for the sake of respect on many occasions such as happy events, arrival of a visitor from afar, visiting elders and sending off a person who is to take a long journey” (Cultural-China.com, 2010).
