African Americans’ Perceptions Of Workplace Equity: A Starting Point, Dan K. Hibbler Ph.D.

School of Continuing and Professional Studies Faculty and Staff Works

For the past several decades, leisure researchers have investigated

the impact that race has on leisure behavior and preferences, but

there remains a paucity of research that addresses the issue of race in the leisure services workplace. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of inequity, discrimination, and promotion opportunities among African Americans in the field of public parks and recreation. The study was conducted in multiple phases, and all included African Americans who were working for public recreation agencies in a midwestern state. First, telephone interviews were conducted with 11 African American middle managers. A …

El Modelo Foto Eco-Narrativo: Elaboración, Implementación, Y Evaluación De Sermones Narrativos En La Iglesia Hispana Adventista Del Séptimo Día Vista, California, Haroldo Guizar-Whittemore

Doctor of Ministry Projects

The task of this project is narrative preaching in the context of the Hispanic Seventh-day Adventist Church, in Vista California. It is a present reality that different voices compete for its attention, and in such an environment God’s Word frequently goes unheard, and is not necessarily understood by the different generations of Hispanics in a given church. Thus it is of critical importance that the gospel be heard in a language this culture readily understands. Because it is specifically attuned to the contemporary sensibility of human beings, narrative and narrative forms of preaching have particular power to assist individuals in …

Concepto Rebautismal Del Adventismo En Venezuela, Edgar La Rosa Brito

Doctor of Ministry Projects

The frequency of rebaptism has been increasing within the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Venezuela. Some have considered rebaptism as a desirable alternative to reconsecration of active church members. This practice has generated concern among a number of pastors and lay people. Hence, this dissertation.

This dissertation includes a study of the New Testament theology of baptism and a sketch of the history of baptism and rebaptism throughout Christian history. Also studied were the writings of Ellen G. White and Adventist writers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The research was completed with personal interviews and surveys of pastors and lay …

El Ungimiento De Los Enfermos, Juan Jose Andrade Gonzalez

Doctor of Ministry Projects

The Bible presents several types of anointing, each with a different meaning. Kings were anointed when they were enthroned. Prophets and priests were anointed to indicate consecration and sanctification. Other kinds of anointing were for cosmetic or medicinal purposes. Finally, the anointing of the sick is mentioned. This dissertation deals with the practice of anointing, as recommended by the apostle James (Jas. 5:14), believers who were going through physical or spiritual affliction. Generations following the disciples of Jesus gave a very special meaning to anointing, associating it with prayer and miraculous cures (Mark 6:13).

One chapter is taken up by …

A Historically And Culturally Contextualized Proposal For Health Evangelism In Latvia, Anna Galeniece

Doctor of Ministry Projects

Problem

Seventh-day Adventist church leaders in Latvia have used several approaches and methods for reaching people with the gospel, but proclamation evangelism has served as the main program. However, this method has lost its effectiveness since the middle-1990s. Therefore, today the necessity of discovering and developing new ways and strategies has become crucial. One approach to reach the Latvian population could be health evangelism, which has achieved immense success in many parts of the world since the beginning of the Adventist health message in the 1860s.

Method

The research utilized pertinent materials from books, periodicals, and the Internet. The purpose …

Creación De Grupos Pequen̋Os Para Las Clases Media Y Alta De Santo Domingo, Carlos Reyes Javier

Doctor of Ministry Projects

Conventional small groups have not achieved the expected results in middle and high classes in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The research showed that there is a great difference between the number of people baptized among the lower class and those of middle and high classes. The Holy Scriptures command Christians to evangelize all people without any discrimination. Because of the potential impact of small groups, it is important to use them in evangelizing both social classes.

The foundation for small groups is in the Scriptures. Besides, there are instructions in the writings of Ellen G. White about using small groups …

The responsibilities of the editor-publisher, writers, and marketers are examined in relation to the target audience. Information on writer training is outlined in detail. Books and magazine articles on the topic of magazine publishing provided the primary source of information. Current and former magazine editors were also interviewed to provide a first-person look at the magazine industry. In order to …

Gore Wars, Alex Kozinski

Michigan Law Review

Unless you've been frozen in carbonite or are hopelessly gullible, it must have occurred to you at some point during the last three decades that environmental activists are exaggerating just a bit when they claim that, unless we dramatically change our way of life, we'll soon see the end of civilization as we know it. I'm not sure when these doomsday predictions got started - probably they go back to Malthus and beyond - but I first became aware of environmental Jeremiadism in college in the early 1970s, when tout-le-monde were reading a little book called The Limits to Growth. …

A Goldilocks Account Of Judicial Review?, Mark Tushnet

University of San Francisco Law Review

The first theme can be found in many works of constitutional theory-the construction of a strong opposition between the supposedly debased behavior of elected representatives and the supposedly more elevated behavior ofjudges. The second theme emerges from Professor Eisgruber's distinction between comprehensive rights, which call for "an assessment of an entire system of social interaction," and discrete rights that "prescribe[] specific forms of government actions."'

The Enigma Of Stigma: A New Environmental Contamination Challenge Facing Canada's Judiciary, Jodie Hierlmeier

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

Would you buy previously contaminated property? The average citizen, given the choice between property with no history of contamination and one with prior environmental problems (even if they have been remediated), will instinctively choose the former over the latter. This is the phenomenon known as stigma. The recent case, Tridan Developments Ltd. v. Shell Canada Products Ltd. marks the first time that Canadian courts have squarely addressed the issue of stigma with the trial judge awarding damages for the diminution in property value over and above the costs of remediation for a contaminated property on the basis of stigma. The …

The Breadth Of The Anti-Trafficking Provisions And The Moral High Ground, Jessica D. Litman

Book Chapters

This is a cautionary tale. Back in 1996, 1997 and 1998, the law prohibiting circumvention of "access controls" was conceived, described and defended on the ground that it was very narrow. Initially, "access" was intended to mean initial access - the digital equivalent of breaking into a bookstore to steal a book. Copyright owners, though, insisted that "access controls" should also include devices to facilitate pay-per-view. Since that would require protecting works against continuing access, copyright owner lobbyists resisted any narrowing language. Still, when opponents of section 1201 complained to Congress that the language before it might give copyright owners …
