You answered God’s call and came to seminary to prepare for ministry. How will that happen? Before you graduate you will read scores of books, sit through hundreds of hours of classes, write papers and pass exams. But that will not guarantee preparation for ministry. Your spiritual and vocational formation is the heart of preparation for ministry. A servant of God is formed through the integration of Being, Knowing, and Doing.

A Twenty-First-Century Approach To Empowering The Youth Of The Brooklyn Temple Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Newton Upanton Cleghorne

Doctor of Ministry Projects

Problem

In several churches in the Northeastern Conference and, in particular, the Brooklyn Temple Seventh-day Adventist Church, the adult membership has dominated the positions of leadership. Most of the potential youth leaders have painfully become spectators rather than players and leaders in the church. The goal of this dissertation, therefore, is to develop and implement a program to empower these youth through training, mentoring, positioning, and liberation.

The Method

Any theology that does not have a biblical foundation is suspect and, therefore, humanistic. A theology of youth ministry was developed within a biblical context. The intent of the study was …

The Development Of Solo Performance Skills Through Participation In Adjudicated Vocal Solo Showcases, Judy P. Shoemaker

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

This applied dissertation was designed to develop and implement a solo performance contest-festival for adolescent vocal students in grades 7 through 12. The goal of the project was to foster musical excellence through positive performance evaluation and encourage the life-long pursuit of musical growth and achievement. The project addressed several issues; (a) there were few opportunities for such evaluative performance in the target area, (b) there was a need for age and vocal developmental appropriate required music lists, (c) a clear and concise rating and evaluation scale based on accepted music attributes was needed, (d) improved adjudicator consistency through training …

United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child: Participation Rights Of The Child And The Role Of Youthwork, Yaw Somua Boateng

Graduate Research Papers

The increasing prominence gained by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child since its adoption in 1989 and its almost universal ratification by members of the United Nations Organization provides the context for this study. The objective of this study is to explore the place of the Convention as it relates to upholding the "best interests" of the child. The principles of provision, protection, and participation, which are the foundations upon which the Convention is formulated, are analyzed. The role of contemporary youthwork premised on "rights-based" approach that emphasizes the active participation of children and young people …
