The material was gathered by means of interviews that were recorded. The interviews were then studied by …

On Becoming A Family: Melanie's Story Of Benjamin's Adoption, 2002, Melanie Springer Mock Jan 2006

On Becoming A Family: Melanie's Story Of Benjamin's Adoption, 2002, Melanie Springer Mock

Faculty Publications - Department of English

Excerpt: "I became a mother in the back of a taxi cab.

No sit-com cliché, this. The taxi was a late-model, jacked up Honda, its plush chairs bedecked by delicate white doilies. Traffic dared not impede my driver, a silently brooding young man who weaved between Cyclos and motorcycles freighted by fruit, vegetables, live chickens, entire families. I sat tensely in the backseat, holding my son, incredulously wondering into what I had just gotten myself."

Spiritual Literacy: A New Concept For A New Reality, Felicia A. Smith Jan 2006

Spiritual Literacy: A New Concept For A New Reality, Felicia A. Smith

The Christian Librarian

The idea of literacy is prevalent in today’s society, especially among librarians.There is much discussion of technological literacy and the digital divide. There are volumes written on cultural literacy and how we interact with different groups such as younger generations. There are books dedicated specifically to literacy in the 21st century. There are growing specialized “literacies” but none dealing with religion, per se. It is critical that librarians are aware of spiritual undertones inherent in information, in order to provide balanced information to patrons.
