Reinventing Human Services In America, David Stoesz

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

Passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (PRWOA) of 1996 presents an opportunity to reinvent human services in America. For more than a decade, the welfare bureaucracy and public assistance programs of state welfare have been in crisis. The clients who depend on welfare detest it, finding and keeping qualified professionals to work in the public social services has become an administrative headache, and taxpayers perceive welfare as a fiscal black hole that perpetuates immorality. The recent decision to "devolve" welfare in a block grant to states underscores the urgency to rethink public assistance to poor families. There …

Moore, Opal, Daryl Cumber Dance

English Faculty Publications

Moore, Opal (b. 1953), poet, short story writer, essayist, educator, and critic of children's literature. Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Opal Moore was influenced from childhood by the particular dynamics of the Pentecostal church; echoes of that institution reverberate in her plots, themes, characters, tone, and language. When Moore entered Illinois Wesleyan University's School of Art in 1970, she was so shocked by her first real encounter with racism and her sens~ of powerlessness in the face of it that she sought some control over what was happening to her by writing, thus initiating her first journals. She also …

Perspectives On Global Communications, Detlef Eckert

Fordham International Law Journal

Speech given at Session 2: World Communication: Where is Technology Leading Us? The European Commission's objective is to do our best in the European Community to support the paradigm shift from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. Mr. Eckert noted that in the past, this topic alone was the subject for a speech his. While those were interesting speeches, he focused, more or less, on the real nitty-gritty of deregulation and liberalization and how to bring those concepts into practice.

When Technology Drives Economics, David Nagel

Fordham International Law Journal

Speech given at Session 2: World Communication: Where is Technology Leading Us? If technology is driving economics, in exactly what way is it driving it, and why is it driving it? Mr. Nagel gave an overview of exactly how fast technology is changing. He posits that it is changing so fast that instead of a quantitative change, it is appropriate to think of it as a qualitative change. More specifically, that change is leading to a fundamental transformation in the way that commerce itself is conducted.

Part II presents the debate on whether to provide trademarks protection from dilution.

Encrypted Digital Cash Transfers: Why Traditional Money Laundering Controls May Fail Without Uniform Cryptography Regulations, Christopher D. Hoffman

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note argues that key escrow represents a solution to the problem of digital money laundering. In addition, this Note argues that the European Commission has wrongly concluded that key escrow should develop as a product of market forces rather than aggressive legislation, and should align its policy with the United States, France, and Great Britain to develop a joint network of key escrow authorities. Part I of this Note explains the operation of digital payment systems, digital money, and cryptography. Part I also sets forth existing legal safeguards against money laundering. Part II outlines the key escrow policies of …

The Ethical Implications Of The Globalization Of The Legal Profession: A Challenge To The Teaching Of Professional Responsibility In The Twenty-First Century, Mary C. Daly

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article accepts globalization as a defining characteristic of the world order of the late twentieth and the early twenty-first centuries and as a force majeure on the legal profession.

Barriers In Traditional Ashanti Religion To Membership In The Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Amofah-Anane Asamoah

Doctor of Ministry Projects

Problem

The persistence of traditional belief and practice among about 30 percent of Ashanti traditionalists presents a great challenge to the Ashanti SDA Church on how to engage the traditionalists' with the gospel. The darker side of the Ashanti world is characterized by fear and insecurity. While Christianity presents an attractive doctrine of salvation in a transcendent sense, its emissaries have failed to provide satisfying ways of dealing with the forces of the spirit world. In addition, the Ashanti institution of chieftaincy involves closely connected socio-political and religious rites. The chief is both the central officiant in rituals of tendence …

A Strategy For Church Planting Among The Ewe-Speaking People Of The Volta Region, Ghana, Emmanuel Osei

Doctor of Ministry Projects

Problem

Since the Seventh-day Adventist Church came to Ghana over one hundred years ago, there has not been any concrete and coordinated plan to establish SDA churches among the Ewe-speaking people of the Volta Region, Ghana. Unconsciously or otherwise, the Volta Region has been left unentered by the church, particularly the area from Ho southward to the sea. This study was undertaken to develop a strategy for reaching the Ewe-speaking people group (of the Volta Region Ghana) through church-planting ministry by which converts won would be gathered to form congregations of the Seventh- day Adventist Church.

Method

In an attempt …

Bipolar Preaching For Hispanic Evangelism In The North American Division, Eradio Alonso

Doctor of Ministry Projects

Problem

This dissertation deals with the bipolar concept of preaching as it applies to Seventh-day Adventist evangelism in a Hispanic-American context. Bipolar preaching is preaching that focuses on answering human problems or needs by applying eternal truth to the human condition. In my experience bipolar preaching was missing for many years. This project attempts to make the homiletical theory of bipolar preaching better understood I hope that it will be integrated into the preaching ministry in general and into evangelistic preaching in particular. The Hispanic evangelistic sermon seems to be well-anchored in the Word of God, but it does not …

Understanding And Dealing With Ancestral Practices In Botswana, Stanley P. Chikwekwe

Doctor of Ministry Projects

Problem. Ancestral and other traditional practices continue to trouble the Seventh-day Adventist Church in several parts of the world. It is not uncommon for believers to seek ancestors' mediation whenever they are faced with problems. Most church members deny that ancestral and other traditional practices exist within the church, whereas others do not want to discuss the issue o f traditional practices because of fear of being labeled superstitious. The denial is due to the way the church has handled ancestral practices in the past. Because most members do not know what to do when problems come, they revert to …
