| Ironically, at the very end of this millennium, demotions, warnings, and anathemas have again come into vogue in several regions of our nation. |
| We assist at a continuous shower of anathemas on all the television networks and in the media in general. |
| Faith, certainty, dogmas, anathemas, prayers, prohibitions, orders, taboos, tyrannies, wars and glories overwhelmed the order of things. |
| At times, as the curses and the anathemas rained upon him, he held his hands out in front of him, like a school nerd begging the bullies not to hit him again. |
| Although anathemas followed against any who disagreed with the faith so formulated, there was no prohibition against altering the creed at a future council. |
| Each community can assert its own convictions forcefully, but neither community should resort to anathemas or silences, to exclusion or withdrawal. |
