Refining The Eden Community’S Pathways For Shaping Regenerative Christian Culture In The Apprenticeship For Regenerative Culture, Laura Callarman

Doctor of Ministry Theses and Dissertations

This Doctor of Ministry thesis presents a project designed to meet a need of the Eden Community, an intentional Christian community, regarding the pathways it uses to shape regenerative Christian culture among college students in its apprenticeship program, ARC. In this thesis, I connect the pragmatic aims of the Eden Community to theological foundations regarding the importance of ecclesial diversity and creative contextualization, features that empower the church to embody a variety of life-giving “alternative stories” with the capacity to present the gospel as truly good news to the entire world.

In this project, a team of nine stakeholders met …

An Inclusive Framework For Ministry: Fostering The Spiritual Formation Of Children In A Multicultural Church, Jennifer Reinsch Schroeder

Doctor of Ministry Theses and Dissertations

This project thesis was designed to foster the spiritual formation of children in a multicultural church. A diverse team was assembled to design a curriculum to be used with volunteers in a children’s ministry context. Through seven two-hour sessions held over eight weeks in the spring of 2022, the curriculum development team first examined what it means to embody a multicultural perspective of the gospel while at the same time investigating the negative impact of a White, Eurocentric expression of Christianity. Next, they collaborated to develop a theological construct that centered around (1) the idea of being created in the …

Landed: The Pursuit Of An Army Flight School For The City Of Wichita Falls, Texas, 1917-1919, Lee Howell

History Theses - Archive

This thesis examines the acquisition of a flight training facility by the city of Wichita Falls, Texas during the early years of the twentieth century. During a period when progressive reform was addressing societal problems, members of the Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce were diligently working to develop their community. At the time, aviation remained a relatively new technology. Chamber members, Joseph Kemp and Frank Kell, took the lead in the city's attempt to establish aviation as a developmental industry in its local commerce. The legacy left by both men is that of pioneer builders, whose focus for their city …

Surviving The Seventies: How Ten East Texan Women Labored For Their Families, Emily B. Smith

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The 1970s were a period of political and social turmoil. Many women left the domestic sphere and entered public life to work, seek higher education, and pursue a career. Yet many factors worked against them. They entered a workforce that treated them poorly or went to a university with limited degrees for women. The seventies were also a time of social, cultural, and political upheaval marked by a deep recession in which quality jobs were harder to find and layoffs were common. This oral history project seeks to document the experiences of East Texan women during this tumultuous period. And …

Escape Beneath: An Original Game Score Inspired By An Analysis Of Garry Schyman's Music, Daniel Cooper

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Video-game music has grown into a vast array of different styles, sounds, and applications. As a newer field of music, game scoring has begun to receive high acclaim. Garry Schyman has become one of the most successful composers within the video-game industry. His music has received many awards and nominations throughout the years. Despite this, research and analysis into his compositions and techniques are almost non-existent. This thesis studies his techniques within the video-game scores for BioShock, BioShock 2, BioShock Infinite, Middle Earth Shadow of War, and Torn; and then applies them into an original …

Modern Accents Of Theological Reflection Of Representatives Of The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Regarding The War And Its Challenges, Olga Nedavnya

Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe

The article analyzes the relevant thematic documents and materials with the purpose of determining the ways, means and features of the theological search of the representatives of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (hereafter UGCC) in relation to the challenges of Russia's war against Ukraine. The principles of objectivity and confessional non-commitment became the methodological basis of the research. The hermeneutic method, system and content analysis, and the method of doctrinal verification were used. The scientific novelty of the research is determined by the appeal to a socially important hot topic, which is just beginning to be studied by scientists based …

Thither The Russian Navy? Putin’S Navalization In A Historical Context, William Emerson Bunn

Graduate Program in International Studies Theses & Dissertations

The Syrian operation of 2012 was the first successful employment by Russia of expeditionary warfare, narrowly defined as naval support to Russian (or Soviet) ground forces in a war away from their periphery (i.e., in a country that does not border them), from the sea. This was brought about in part by the development of two types of cruise missiles: advanced anti-ship missiles (which protects their expeditionary force from NATO naval units, enabling local sea control) and new land attack cruise missiles (similar in design and capability to the U.S. Tomahawk). In the past geographical, technological and political constraints …

庾信的生平創作及其意義 : 《中國中古文學史》的一個片段, Nong Gu

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

庾信（513—581）前半生在南朝梁爲宫廷文人，所作詩賦皆爲“宫體”；後半生不得已而在北，儘管北周的高層人士對他非常尊重客氣，但他内心深處總是有些矛盾和痛苦，並融化而進入其詩賦和文章之中。作爲使節他在被扣留之初，曾遭軟禁三年，其時的作品《傷心賦》《小園賦》《枯樹賦》飽含痛苦的心情，也流露了行將轉身的意向。後來作於天和四年（569）的《哀江南賦》，則深刻地總結了蕭梁王朝由盛而衰以至於滅亡的歷史教訓，文辭曲折典雅，歷來得到很高的評價。他詩和文也都達到很高的水準，其中同樣隱含了他對自己轉身的解釋和哀歎。當年的時代主潮在於民族融合，庾信認同鮮卑族主導的北周政權，肯同他們合作，是正常的；而不斷抒發其鄉關故國之思，則表現了對華夏文化大流的熱愛與眷念，深刻地符合中古歷史發展的大方向。要瞭解其時歷史發展過程中的波瀾與漩渦，庾信的作品包括那些諛墓諸文都具有很高的價值。

Yu Xin 庾信 (513 - 581 CE) had been a court official in the Southern Liang dynasty and wrote palace style poetry before he was confined to the non-Sinitic Norther Zhou dynasty. Despite the respect he received from its officials and nobles, he wrote his internal conflict, distress, and forthcoming resign into his poetry and prose, including “Shangxin fu” 傷心賦 (Rhapsody on a Broken Heart), “Xiaoyuan fu” 小園賦 (Rhapsody on a Small Garden) , and “Kushu fu” 枯樹賦 (Rhapsody on a Withered Tree) which he wrote during the first three years of his confinement as a diplomatic envoy. Yu’s …

湖湘派與同光體之離合, Yu Zhang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

本文試圖展示湖湘派與同光體作爲晚清政治立場接近的最大的兩個古典詩派，在詩學與交往方面的種種離合。湖湘派可以追溯到明末清初王夫之論詩重緣情綺靡。嘉道間湖湘詩人鄧顯鶴與宋詩派多有交往，但並無意稱雄詩壇。以王闓運爲代表的湖湘派，是界於宋詩派與同光體之間的最大的一個詩派。同光體詩人中，如陳三立等，與湖湘派詩人多有交往。湖湘派詩人中，較早如鄧繹，晚學如陳銳、程頌萬等，作詩亦多受宋詩派影響。在新文化運動的洪流面前，這兩個古典詩派由於文化命運的相似，共鳴多於異見。

This article shows the various divergence in poetics and the interaction between the Huxiang School 湖湘派 and the Tongguang School 同光體, the two largest schools of classical poetry in the late Qing dynasty that took similar political stances. The Huxiang School can be traced back to Wang Fuzhi's 王夫之 poetics of emotion in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Despite his frequent associations with the Song Poetry School 宋詩派，Deng Xianhe 鄧顯鶴, a Huxiang School poet during the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods of Qing had no intention to dominate the circle. The Huxiang School, of which Wang Kaiyun 王闓運 …

吳廷華《儀禮》筆法研究探論, Lok Man Lee

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

《儀禮》嚮稱難讀。傳統以分節、繪圖、釋例爲治禮之法。三法之外，歷代禮家對《儀禮》筆法每有關注，卻未成系統。清代禮學大家吳廷華（1682—1725）著《儀禮章句》，其書於分節繪圖釋例三途，用力均篤，被譽爲“學禮者階梯”。吳書關注《儀禮》筆法，作經者的行文舖排、遣辭用字，每加析説，見解獨到。本文舉吳氏《章句》對《儀禮》筆法之意見凡十類，包括《儀禮》中的變文、行文語序、提示語、預陳其書、書有見無、省文、互文、相兼乃備、特定的虚詞等，各據例證。由於筆法每與禮例及禮意往往相須而成，吳氏對《儀禮》筆法的意見，與鄭、賈注疏互有異同，詮解出與注疏不同的禮經文本。藉此説明《儀禮》筆法應立爲專門之學，爲研治禮經之重要方法。

Yili 儀禮 (Book of Etiquette and Ceremonial) is considered a Confucians classic difficult to read. Scholars have adopted three basic methods of interpretation: (1) to break the texts into paragraphs; (2) to illustrate the ceremonies; (3) to explain the etiquette rules. In addition, scholars of different historical periods have also researched unsystematically on the writing style of This article examines Qing-dynasty scholar Wu Tinghua’s 吳廷華 (1682 -1755) annotations to the writing techniques of Yili in his Yili zhang ju 儀禮章句 (Analysis of the Book of Etiquette and Rites), including textual variation, words’ sequence, hint, pre-narration, indicating the hidden, omission, …
