Change in a Changing World: The Golden Blade #45

A collection of essays from various viewpoints on the critical situation of the world and how we can confront and adapt to the changing conditions ahead of us. The essays cover situations, such as the teacher meeting the unique demands of differing children, the adolescent encountering evil as an agent of change, the office worker in an environment changing beyond recognition, the theatre director creating a radical new approach to the mystery play and thoughts on how language itself reflects a quest for new meaning. From a historical perspective, the achievements of Columbus are reassessed five hundred years on and elsewhere parallels are drawn with that other great era of change, the Renaissance.
