Catholic Parish-Based Religious Instruction: Bearing The Burden, Jonathan Schott

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"In a story produced by local Rochester, New York media outlet WHAM television and WHAM-am radio, recent figures illustrate that enrollment in Catholic schools in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester is declining. An integral part of Catholic education—faith formation—is now largely provided by parish based religious education and faith formation programs. The religious instruction that children received in the school classroom is now being provided by a largely volunteer force in individual parish programs. The question remains: can these parish based programs bear the burden?"

The Lens Of Faith, Donald J. Lococo

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"For seven years during the nineties, I taught a course at St. Michael’s College in the University of Toronto called Christianity and Science. It served as an introduction to the science division of the Christianity and Culture Program. In that context, it illustrated the essential relationship that Christianity has had to the development of the modern disciplines of natural science out of the ancient and Medieval discipline of natural philosophy. It was a full-year course. The first semester introduced to the students a lesson that many did not …

The World I Have Experienced, Ines Herovic

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"It took me a couple of days to really figure out how I see my world. It hasn’t been a pretty sight for me. I keep thinking that one day I will finally be more positive about the world, but it never seems to happen. It see the world as a crazy and bizarre place. I was born into a family of Christians and Muslims. My father is Muslim and my mom is Catholic. The families weren’t very thrilled to be mixed, but it happened. I practiced a little …

The Eyes Of God, Peter Santandreu

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"It has been my belief that one’s faith should always be the center of his or her life; I know this has not always been the case with me, but more often than not, I feel that I do a decent job. Having been raised in the Christian tradition, I have come to see the world through a distinctly Christian lens regarding moral issues. Someone told me once that a prophet is nothing more than a person who sees the world through the eyes of God. I do not, …

Falling In Love, Selena Cochran

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"Your translucent limbs pluck and strobe me as the fullness of you, of your growth, of your existence, give way to the silent fears swimming in my heart. Will you be healthy? Will you be extraordinary? Will you love me? No one heard them save me but they echoed nonetheless. Through the oohs and ahhs of family and medical onlookers you twirled, danced and amazed them with your acrobatic skill. We all smiled in sheer delight of you, but the echoes persisted. You would be healthy and extraordinary – …

Streets Of Gold, Walter Casper Iv

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"Waking up morning after morning since then becomes somewhat of a depressing ritual. Showering then dressing, filling that sorry feeling in my stomach. There was still a void though; as there had been for the past eight months now. I still felt lost and helpless."

Broken No More, Selena Cochran

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"Abused, broken and persecuted. That’s who I was when I found it. Brilliantly stained a plush purple velvet, adorned with luscious linings of silver and gold---it was indeed a robe fit for a king. Studded with nature’s most pristine jewels, it shone like heaven’s stars. Yes, it was beautiful and perfectly fit for a king…or so I thought."

Political Rivalry In Rhode Island: William H. Vanderbilt Vs. J. Howard Mcgrath: The Wiretapping Case, Debra A. Mulligan

Arts & Sciences Faculty Publications

The 1939 wiretapping case bared many of the intra- and inter- party struggles that had been festering during the interwar years. Pitting Democrat J. Howard McGrath and Republican William H. Vanderbilt, two energetic and ambitious rival politicians, against each other, this scandal raised the issues of the right to privacy and the legality of using evidence obtained through electronic surveillance. Additionally, the case exposed the heated rivalry between the old and new guard within the Republican Party, while simultaneously restoring harmony among the competing forces within the Democrat Party.

The Assyrian Heroic Epic Of Qa Īne Gabbara: A Modern Poem In The Ancient Bardic Tradition, Sargon Donabed

This work discusses a modern Assyrian epic, Qa īne Gabbara, in both its oral and written traditions, and examines its importance in marking continuity in culture, traditions and language. Building on an earlier study by Younan Hozaya, this essay shows how Qa īne Gabbara fits within the genre of heroic epic, thereby bringing new light to a vastly overlooked and understudied Assyrian cultural tradition.

Review Of Exposing Men: The Science And Politics Of Male Reproduction By Cynthia R. Daniels, Rose Holz

Women's and Gender Studies Program: Faculty Publications

To begin with, although Daniels's work could be categorized as political science, part of this book's appeal is that it addresses what we historians might call a massive hole in the historiography--in this case, regarding men's health. In other words, we just do not know very much about this topic, nor do we know much about its history. Ironically, this dearth of knowledge stands in stark contrast to the wealth of information about the history of women's health--something that might seem a bit odd given the feminist argument that history has more often been about men than about women. However, …

Topics In Action Sources Of Definiteness Of Topic Noun Phrases In Thai Interactive Discourse, Prakaiwan Vajrabhaya

English Theses & Dissertations

The notion of topic has been widely discussed in past literature; however, the use of naturally occurring data in these studies, especially in Thai, has been lacking. This study approaches topic from a functionalist standpoint. It uses definiteness, a feature of topics generally agreed upon by scholars, to investigate topic noun phrases (NPs) in the topic with a clausal comment construction in naturally occurring data in Thai. The main objectives are to identify the sources of definiteness of topic NPs and demonstrate their functions. The data for this study was obtained from the Chulalongkorn University Linguistics Department corpus which …

Music Therapy With High-Risk Youth: An Exploration Of Current Practice, Beth A. Clark
