Josiah Quincy's 1844 Visit With Joseph Smith, Jed L. Woodworth Oct 2000

Josiah Quincy's 1844 Visit With Joseph Smith, Jed L. Woodworth

BYU Studies

A prophet's claims have always invited attention. The Prophet Joseph Smith took calls from an array of personalities who would not be satisfied without seeing this curiosity in the flesh. The visitors came from near and far and from every walk and station of life: politicians and priests, paupers and pundits, charlatans and seekers, and almost everything in between. Arriving first in a trickle and then in a stream, they found the Prophet wherever he had gathered the Saints. Some of the travelers left accounts of their visits, and from these sketches later generations came to know Joseph, too.

The Campaign And The Kingdom: The Activities Of The Electioneers In Joseph Smith's Presidential Campaign, Margaret C. Robertson Jul 2000

The Campaign And The Kingdom: The Activities Of The Electioneers In Joseph Smith's Presidential Campaign, Margaret C. Robertson

BYU Studies

In 1844, Joseph Smith, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, ran for president of the United States. At the April 1844 LDS general conference, a call was made for volunteers to "electioneer for Joseph to be the next President," as Heber C. Kimball put it. Immediately, 244 elders volunteered. By the time the list of names was recorded in the records of the Church a week later, the number approached 340. Even more elders eventually volunteered or were called to take up the cause. As part of the campaign, the Quorum of the Twelve scheduled public …

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 …

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

This article addresses the following issues: who needs microcredit in the UK, what is the extent of the unmet demand across the country, what are the precise terms and conditions required by microentrepreneurs, how repayment rates of at least 95% can be expected, and how an institution making microcredits can become self-financing within six years. The article also describes the main barriers faced by microcredit institutions in the UK and offers solutions to obtaining funds from the private, public, and voluntary sectors and to operating within a legal and regulatory framework that permits microcredit institutions to serve their clients with …
