  Payton Papers - The Right to Ask for Money - Part 2 of 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Fund raising is based on persuasion, on interpersonal relations directed toward a conscious goal.
It is an ethical quagmire, a Slough of Despond for those who can't find firm ethical footing underneath.
It is a natural field for what is being referred to these days as "applied ethics." Yet I don't recall ever attending serious workshops at development meetings that were designed to help development staff better understand the ethical aspects of their work.

 MOURNFUL CELEBRATIONS
The forecast celebrations in Australia, of the apostate consensus on major justification matters, between the Church of Rome and that of Luther, have now happened (The Australian, May 29, 2000, p.
Talking of justice, the announcement is just cause for mourning, that such a beginning in stepping out of the quagmire of Romanism, as Luther was helped to make for this people, should halt in this sinking slough of despond, nearly 500 years later.

 Guardian Unlimited Books | By genre | Audio: Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding, read by Suzy Aitchison
A Chivers publicist even tried absurdly to suggest to me that the publication was unconnected to the cinematic event.
Nowadays, of course, the genre of disaster-prone young woman switchbacking between elation and deep despond in her quest for a good man has worn threadbare, but this prototype actually works rather well.
First-person narratives lend themselves to audio, and Bridget is simply better than her imitators, thanks to genuinely funny writing and her strength and sympathy of character.

Thou hast met with something, as I perceive, already; for I see the dirt of the Slough of Despond is upon thee; but that slough is the beginning of the sorrows that do attend those that go on in that way.
I met with a gentleman so soon as I had got over the Slough of Despond, who persuaded me that I might, in the village before me, find a man that would take off my burden.
He looked like a gentleman, and talked much to me, and got me at last to yield; so I came hither; but when I beheld this hill, and how it hangs over the way, I suddenly made a stand lest it should fall on my head.

 The Young Trail Hunters by Samuel Woodworth Cozzens eBook by BookRags
Finally, becoming tired of the fun, he discharged his rifle and killed his hog; but this only seemed to make the creatures more ferocious, and then, for the first time, the boys became really alarmed.
As hour after hour passed, and the hogs showed no disposition to depart, Hal began to despond, declaring that no help would reach them before they should starve.
Ned, however, kept up heart, until the infuriated creatures began to devour the dead body of their comrade.

 Abductive: The First Sign of Aging
I went home and put on a fl armband.
For days I moped about this mammoth catastrophe that had hit me. Finally I climbed back from my “slough of despond.” Slowly I decided there was life after bifocals.
The bad part is that the new bifocals do crazy things with computer monitors - not far enough away for the distance part of the lense, and not close enough for the reading part - so I have to use my old single lenses at the computer.

 Thomas Hooker: Beholding the Majesty of God
Plainly, Bunyan saw conversion as no simple, easy event, no single step from unconcern to immediate assurance of salvation.
When Pilgrim left the City of Destruction, crying, 'What shall I do to be saved?' there was, Bunyan narrates, 'a very wide field' to cross, and a 'slough of despond' to be met, before he came to the wicket gate.
Even with that gate passed, Christian — as we now see him to be — had further to go before he obtained the joy of assurance.
