The Vanguard

The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod is endeavoring to take its verbal commitment to the concern of housing needs seriously. February 16 marks the day of a church-wide effort to gather a million dollar offering in a program called "Keys for Christ."

It all started in New York in 1967 when delegates of the church assembled in convention wanted to give substance to resolutions of earlier conventions that spoke more generally in this matter.

LHRAA's Board of Directors has scheduled its 1969 Institute on Human Relations for Chicago for the week-end of June 27 to 29.

The decision calls for moving the site of the Institute from Valparaiso University to the Lutheran School of Theology. The meetings will be on Chicago's South Side in a setting where the issues of racial and urban crisis are close at hand.

The entire format - and goals - of this year's Institute will differ greatly from previous years.

Theological Education: Crisis And Renewal, David S. Schuller

Concordia Theological Monthly

The institutions of higher learning in the United States of America are undergoing rapid and profound changes. Theological education, for the most part, senses this feeling of change in the air but has been hesitant as to how to move. In many quarters the pressures for change are increasing; a rising sense of uneasiness is building. But the future appears indistinct enough so that those who should be exerting leadership on the level of the local seminary and denomination are pleading for more time.

Brighton Rock: Growth In Psychological Insight, Sister Catherine Madigan Dc

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, presented at Xavier University in 1969, examines Graham Greene's novel "Brighton Rock" as a significant early step in Greene's development of psychologically complex characterization. Madigan argues that the novel represents the first sustained combination of three elements in Greene's fiction: the "thriller" plot structure, the "Catholic element" as a framework of belief opposing his characters' actions, and genuine psychological depth, distinguishing it from both his earlier thrillers and his lighter "entertainments."

The thesis compares "Brighton Rock" to Greene's short story "A Drive in the Country," which shares a similar plot but, due to its brevity and narrative point …

A Study Of Divorce Rates For Temple And Non-Temple Marriages According To Occupational Status And Age At Marriage, Seymour P. Steed

Theses and Dissertations

This study focused upon differences between L.D.S. temple and L.D.S. non-temple marriages (which was used as a measure of religious commitment) with respect to divorce rate, and the relationship of occupational level and bride's age at marriage to divorce rate.

A total of 419 couples were involved in the study. They were all married in 1955, had been born in Utah, and were residing in Utah at the time of marriage. Temple and non-temple marriages were equated for occupational level at the time of marriage. By 1968, the L.D.S. temple married couples tended to be higher in occupational level.

A Study Of Religious Experiences As Related To Church Orthodoxy, Joel Lane Tapley

Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis: (1) a religious experience typology was constructed and used to discover whether or not a sequential order existed of religious experiences from the least to most intimate type, (2) the relationship between religious experiences and church orthodoxy was examined, and (3) several background variables were investigated to clarify the above relationship.

It was found 276 Mormons that religious experiences develop in a sequential order from the least to the most intimate type and that a moderate relationship exists between religious experiences and church orthodoxy. The findings support the theory which states that religious experiences and the relationship …

Joseph Smith As An Administrator, Gary Dean Guthrie

Theses and Dissertations

From extensive research undertaken by Rensis Likert at the University of Michigan, a modified theory of administration has been developed which seeks to build upon all that worked best in previous approaches to administration.

Sufficient information from the writings of Joseph Smith, from diaries and journals of those who worked under his leadership have been used in this thesis and compared with the model of administration proposed by Likert. The results of this work were that Joseph Smith in his administration most often used a leadership approach described by Likert as Consultative and Participative.

This thesis also presents a model …

A Comparative Investigation Of The Differing Responses To The Good News Of The Gospel Among The Highland And Jungle Quechua Indians Of Ecuador, William Richard Lemon

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Why does the Good News of the Gospel find greater response in some areas of the world than it does in other areas - even where there is a fairly close relationship geographically and culturally? This is one of the problems that the evangelical church is facing in some areas of Ecuador today. After many years of labor in some areas there has been little fruit, while in others there has been an abundant harvest - even to the amazement of some of the missionaries involved. It is the purpose of this project and report to investigate this paradox to …

A Study To Establish Criteria For Creating Thematic Literature Units Appropriate To Lds Secondary Schools In The South Pacific, And The Creation Of Three Such Units, Ronald F. Malan

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to develop criteria for creating thematic literature units appropriate to the English language facility and to the culture of students in the LDS secondary schools in the South Pacific, and (b) to create three thematic literature units at the Form 5 (11th grade) level which would exemplify the recommended criteria.
An analysis of questionnaire responses revealed that a concept-centered approach to literature should take precedence, with geographical literature—especially Polynesian—also receiving emphasis. Less attention should be given to developing skill in literary analysis, and more focus placed upon systematically reinforcing other language arts …
