A Concern For A World Gathering Of Young Friends, Paul Anderson Jul 1984

A Concern For A World Gathering Of Young Friends, Paul Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

The Spirit of God moves within the chapters of time, uniting the inward seasons of the soul with the outward measures of calendar time. After much prayer and deliberation, it is the feeling of many that the time is right for a world gathering of young Friends. A world gathering of any sort is a gigantic undertaking! The expenses in terms of travel, time, and coordinative efforts are immense. However, in light of the values of such a gathering, the expenses seem minimal. The following are but a few values that could result from such a gathering.

Handbook For Police Chaplains, James Albert Stegman May 1984

Handbook For Police Chaplains, James Albert Stegman

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "The Handbook grew out of the need to bring together information helpful to the organization and operation of a police chaplaincy . Many police agencies employ the services of a chaplain, either volunteer, full- time, or a combination of both. Few police agencies have a well ­documented description of how the police chaplain is to function in relation to the police organization ."

Reaching People God's Strategy To Keep His People Going And Growing, Ronald Wayne Sorenson

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "To those who dare to believe that the impossible is possible -- these are the people with unlimited potential that God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is using to reach people. Their significance is in their success to reach people. People are reached as God the Father wins people unto Himself through His Son, His Spirit and His people."

An Internship For Ministerial Training Within The Australasian Context, Robert Leroy Woodruff

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "An internship model for the Australasian Nazarene Bible College is a necessity. Because of this need, the following study and resulting handbooks have been developed. The acceptance of this programme among both the student participants and the pastoral coaches has been so very heartening, and has been appreciated by this writer. The insights and suggestions have been carefully considered and have added greatly to the development of the internship programme for Australasian Nazarene Bible College . Input from the College Board Executive members has also helped steer the building of the programme that we herein present."


The Elements Of Wisdom Literature In The Messianic King Prophecy Of The First Isaiah Centered On Isa. 9:2-7; 11:1-9, Yen Pyo Hong May 1984

The Elements Of Wisdom Literature In The Messianic King Prophecy Of The First Isaiah Centered On Isa. 9:2-7; 11:1-9, Yen Pyo Hong

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "The prophecies of Isaiah are among the most important theological expressions in the Bible, and the Messianic oracle is one of those which has the most important values in the Old Testament.

The study of the Messianic idea has been done by many scholars, and our knowledge about the character of Isaiah's Messiah regarded it as eschatological. 1 But, even though Isaiah's Messianic king of pre-exilic period could be connected to the eschatological Messiah of later Judaism, it is too early to call him the eschatological being.

This research will confine its concern to the character of the Messiah …

Exploring Bible History, Bruce K. Forrest

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "You are about to embark on what I trust will be for you an interesting and informative journey as we begin to explore Bible History.

The history itself falls readily into eight historic periods..."

A Compilation Of The Summer Ministries Of 5-Day Club Training Conference, Chin Pei-Yu Fung

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

In the Bible, Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." (Mt. 9:14). "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." (Mt. 18:19).


An Analytical Study Of Four Churches In The Light Of The Seven Vital Signs Of A Healthy Church With A Tentative Application To Lynwood Friends Church, Glenn K. Armstrong May 1984

An Analytical Study Of Four Churches In The Light Of The Seven Vital Signs Of A Healthy Church With A Tentative Application To Lynwood Friends Church, Glenn K. Armstrong

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

It was at a church growth conference with Dr. Medford H. Jones that pastors of Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends Church began giving serious thought to planting and developing large Friends churches in the Northwest. Jones spoke of other passive or plateaued churches, which became growing, dynamic churches. New hope was conceived for Friends.

Since that first conference, many seminars and church conferences have been held, books have been read and papers have been studied. Churches do not grow simply through prayer, faith and hard work. Through research, study and experience, it has been determined that there are distinct patterns …


A Curriculum Resource Text For The Alcohol Unit In Public And Private Schools, Lester A. Wetzstein May 1984

A Curriculum Resource Text For The Alcohol Unit In Public And Private Schools, Lester A. Wetzstein

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The absolute worth of a human life and the social order in which that life finds identity and expression provide the base for an initiative to pursue the development of life's highest potential with assurance in the future that corning generations may expect the same opportunity. The manifold evidences graphically documented relative to man's inhumanity to man in our present age clearly invoke a spirit of urgency for realistic solutions now and not some far distant time.


The Life And Ministry Of Carrie Judd Montgomery, Daniel E. Albrecht May 1984

The Life And Ministry Of Carrie Judd Montgomery, Daniel E. Albrecht

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

If ever there was a woman whose life reflected the dynamic forces within key American religous movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Carrie Judd Montgomery was that woman. Before she died she participated in the rise and development of holiness, faith-healing, Christian and Missionary Alliance, and pentecostal movements. The thread of her life was interwoven into the living tapestry of these movements. A leader in her own right, she rubbed elbows with other prominent religious spokesmen of the day, such as A.B. Simpson, A.J. Gordon, Charles Cullis, W.E. Boardman, Aimee Simple McPherson, Smith Wigglesworth, Robert Craig, J.R. …

Workbook Section To Accompany A Topical Plan For Conducting Marriage And Parenting Seminars For Couples, John R. Jamison Apr 1984

Workbook Section To Accompany A Topical Plan For Conducting Marriage And Parenting Seminars For Couples, John R. Jamison

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "Some groups involved in advocating male-female equality go so far as to argue that there are virtually no real biological differences between the sexes other than the reproductive systems. They hold that any substantial differences in sexual, social, or psychological responses are a result of conditioning differences for boys and girls. What is your opinion?"


A Topical Plan For Conducting Marriage And Parenting Seminars For Couples, John R. Jamison Apr 1984

A Topical Plan For Conducting Marriage And Parenting Seminars For Couples, John R. Jamison

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "To write about marriage and parenting these days seems quite presumptuous. After all, there is a plentiful supply of informative books, pamphlets, periodicals, films, filmstrips and tapes. How do I know this? Personal visits were made to several Christian book stores, public libraries, college and seminary libraries. Then, close examination was made of book catalogs, the Minister's Library (and supplements),! the 1981-82 Current Christian Books, film and filmstrips catalogs, and tape catalogs. Why, then, do a writing project in a field already "crammed" with good material ?"
