Factors That Motivate A Man To Become And Remain The Senior Pastor Of A Local Church, David John Leblanc

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This project evolved from the question, "What motivates a man to become, and remain, a pastor?" The hypothesis was that a man, called of God into the ministry, would not be primarily motivated in his work by secular or external motivators and factors; but by internal or spiritual factors. An opinion poll of 125 Master of Divinity graduates of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary reflected the thesis and illustrated the problem. The author has concluded that a pastor should give attention to his spiritual development and constant reinforcement of the call of God in his life. The results of this project …

Counseling Hispanics: Cross Cultural And Christian Perspectives, Fernando L. Garzon, Siang-Yang Tan

Faculty Publications and Presentations

Cross-cultural and Christian factors are examined in working with Hispanics in therapy. Cross-cultural concerns involve language difficulties, acculturation assessment, family dynamics, gender issues, attitudes toward authority figures: and expectations in therapy. Christian mental health professionals are in a unique position to increase adequate mental health care to this underserved population. Sensitive treatment can reduce the resistance many Hispanic evangelicals have to psychotherapy. In addition, the training of paraprofessional counselors in Hispanic churches would enable many Hispanics to obtain therapy who could not otherwise afford it.

Frames, Brains, And Chinese Rooms: Problems In Artificial Intelligence, Jeffrey David Koperski

Masters Theses

Advocates of strong artificial intelligence believe that properly programmed computers can go beyond the simulation of intelligent acts so as to instantiate and exhibit true intelligence, that is, intelligence equivalent to that of man. In this thesis, I consider three problems for strong-AI.

First, John Searle's well-known thought experiment of the "Chinese Room" is used to reestablish the syntax-semantics distinction and to show how this distinction applies to computer programs. I review the Chinese Room, consider a variety of objections to it, and then expand on the key points in Searle's work.

Second, I examine the Frame Problem in artificial …

Frames, Brains, And Chinese Rooms: Problems In Artificial Intelligence, Jeffrey Koperski

Masters Theses

Advocates of strong artificial intelligence believe

that properly programmed computers can go beyond the

simulation of intelligent acts so as to instantiate and

exhibit true intelligence, that is, intelligence equivalent

for Searle.

First, John Searle's well-known thought experiment of

the "Chinese Room" is used to reestablish the syntax-semantics

distinction and to show how this distinction

applies to computer programs. I review the Chinese Room,

consider a variety of objections to it, and then expand on

the key points in Searle's work.

Socialization Practices Of Christian Home School Educators In The State Of Virginia, Kathie C. Morgan

Faculty Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine what practices home school educators in Virginia were using to meet the socialization needs of their middle school age students. The researcher interviewed parents from ten home schooling families that were in the process of educating a middle school age child (11-14 years old). All parent respondents were from rural localities, encompassing five Virginia counties.

Previous research of socialization within the home school population has concentrated on general personal adjustment and self-esteem. In contrast, this study focused on seven areas of socialization: 1) personal identity, 2) personal destiny, 3) values and moral …

Women In The Life And Teachings Of Jesus, James A. Borland

SOR Faculty Publications and Presentations

This chapter has two goals: (1) to show that Jesus placed a high value on women, and (2) to show that Jesus recognized role distinctions for men and women. Jesus’ high regard for women is seen in how He recognized their intrinsic equality with men, in how He ministered to women, and in the dignity He accorded to women during his ministry. Jesus’ recognition of role distinctions for men and women is demonstrated by His choosing only men to serve as His apostles with their primary tasks of preaching, teaching, and governing. Women, however, served in other important capacities, such …
