Small Business Promotion And Microlending: A Comparative Assessment Of Jamaican And Israeli Ngos, Benson Honig Apr 2000

Small Business Promotion And Microlending: A Comparative Assessment Of Jamaican And Israeli Ngos, Benson Honig

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

Loan programs in two different countries, Israel and Jamaica, are compared and contrasted, in order to identify common elements of project design, selection, and institutional norms. Utilizing agency theory, this article examines what types of borrowers successfully navigate the credit market and to what extent the bureaucratic processes employed by institutions influence and bias outcomes in unpredicted ways in organizations. Entrepreneurs are well recognized as coming from a wide range of backgrounds; indeed, it is the very heterogeneity of their origins that allows many to provide the newness of perspective so necessary for their activities. However, hidden or tacit institutional …

Rural Towns As Partners In The Utilization Of Financial Credit: A Viable Option For Accelerated Development In Africa, Napoleon Bamfo Apr 2000

Rural Towns As Partners In The Utilization Of Financial Credit: A Viable Option For Accelerated Development In Africa, Napoleon Bamfo

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

One option of development that governments in Africa can pursue but which does not appear to have crossed their minds, is encouraging towns, represented as incorporated units, to borrow financial credit. There are several reasons why this appears to be a viable option of development. No government has the financial capacity to address the social and developmental needs of every town under its jurisdiction. A government that encourages or makes it easy for individual towns to utilize credit available from financial institutions, therefore, will be opening a hitherto underutilized component of development in the form of local savings and entrepreneurship …

Factor Analysis Of Theological Constructs Related To Fatalism And Free Will, M. Ardell Broadbent Apr 2000

Factor Analysis Of Theological Constructs Related To Fatalism And Free Will, M. Ardell Broadbent

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

A questionnaire was used to determine to what degree members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints endorse doctrinal statements concerning foreknowldge and determinism. A factor analysis of the questionnaire results confirmed lay constructs about an apparent polarization between members who hold strictly literal interpretations of omniscience and omnipotence as opposed to those who hold interpretations further removed from mainstream Christendom but whose positions are validated by LDS doctrine. The relation of demographic variables to the constructs was explored. The existence of simultaneously held conflicting beliefs was confirmed. Some implications for LDS therapists are discussed. A historical overview …

Fire On Ice: The Conversion And Life Of Guðmundur Guðmundsson, Fred E. Woods Apr 2000

Fire On Ice: The Conversion And Life Of Guðmundur Guðmundsson, Fred E. Woods

BYU Studies

In A.D. 1000, the Icelandic Parliament held their annual two-week summer session in Parliament's Field, a remote area of southwest Iceland where they had convened each year since A.D. 930. In this lush plain, where lava cliffs bear witness of fire meeting ice, Christianity was adopted as the official religion of the entire Icelandic nation. The year 2000 marks the millennial anniversary of this event. It is also a year of reflection for Latter-day Saints, as the first LDS chapel in Iceland will be dedicated in the summer of 2000.

Review of Books on the Book of Mormon 1989–2011

Introduction to the current issue, include editor's picks. Latter-day Saints appear to approach theology and history in ways that fit remarkably well into the Hebrew thought-world from which Christianity emerged rather than from the Hellenization that eventually emerged.

East To West Through North And South: Mormon Immigration During The Civil War, Fred E. Woods Jan 2000

East To West Through North And South: Mormon Immigration During The Civil War, Fred E. Woods

BYU Studies

When LDS immigrants on their way to Utah crossed the Atlantic Ocean or the Eastern United States between 1861 and 1864, they encountered the difficulties of traveling in a nation at war. Their first-person accounts paint a vivid picture of the obstacles faced by these Saints as they journeyed to Utah during the U.S. Civil War. The narratives also depict an effective immigration system directed by Brigham Young and operated by dedicated immigration agents and other faithful Mormons who assisted immigrants along their journey.

Joseph Smith And The Problem Of Evil, David L. Paulsen Jan 2000

Joseph Smith And The Problem Of Evil, David L. Paulsen

BYU Studies

Nothing challenges the rationality of our belief in God or tests our trust in him more severely than human suffering and wickedness. Both are pervasive in our common experience. If this is not immediately evident, a glance at the morning paper or the evening news will make it so. At the moment, names like "Oklahoma City," "Columbine," "Kosovo," and "Turkey" evoke image upon image of unspeakable human cruelty or grief. But still "Auschwitz" and "Belsen" haunt our memories. And who can fathom the anguish of family members in West Valley, Utah, when they discovered their precious little girls suffocated together …
