  • The Real Beginning of the Various Christian Research Organisations
    § 16.2 Christian Research Associations Page 1 he real beginning of the various Christian research organisations which flourished across the Western world at the end T of the 20th century and early 21st century was in the 1960s, a little behind the secular market research world which had its tentative start in the 1930s, but only really got under way in the 1950s after the War ended. Christian research organisations started through a manager in an aeronautical engineering company in Los Angeles in the late 1940s, who began to feel the Lord calling him into full-time service in the early 1960s. Accordingly Edward Dayton, always abbreviated to Ed, attended Fuller Theological Seminary and then began to ask questions such as, “Who is applying management theory and practice to Christian organisations?” Given the opportunity by his friend Ted Engstrom, the long-serving Vice President of World Vision (WV), to take a room in his Los Angeles office, Ed did so, and over the course of the next year (1967) began an organisation called Missions Advanced Research and Communications Centre (abbreviated to MARC, with one C, not two, at the end). Over the next few years, under Ed’s influence, MARC expanded. He led it to develop in three broad areas: !He began to research the Christian populations of many countries, initially those in which World Vision was working, updating and extending the work previously done by Sir Kenneth Grubb and others published in the World Christian Handbook in 1957, 1962 and 1968; !He began suggesting that mission agencies move away from the old “comity” arrangement whereby one particular mission would be primarily responsible for evangelism and Christian community work in a given area or country, to the concept of working with particular groups of people; !He began helping Christian organisations with management theory and ran courses on subjects like Time Management.

  • Pepes Musikalische Meilensteine
    Pepes musikalische Meilensteine 1946 Peter Rudolf wird der Junge getauft, der am 23. März in Lenzburg das Licht der Welt erblickte. 1958 Erstmals kommen Dissonanzen der Tagesordnung in die Quere: Gymnasiast Pepe gründet „The College Stompers Lenzburg“. 1963 Nicht genug mit einer Dixieland-Band: Pepe marschiert mit einer Bigband von Zugstärke am Amateur Jazz Festival Zürich auf. Pepe schafft die Matura trotzdem. 1969 Vier Semester Jura liegen bereits hinter ihm, doch beides, Studium und Musik, wird Pepe zu viel. Freund Freddy Burger, noch heute sein Manager, macht ihm Mut, Pepe springt mit einem Profi-Sextett ins kalte Wasser. 1972 Mit „Sheila Baby“ verbreitet sich der steigende Ruhm des Sextetts - da ging’s erst richtig los! 1976 Nachdem das Pepe Lienhard Sextett bereits 1971 dank „Grafissimo“ den TV- Zuschauern zum Begriff wurde, avancierte es nun zur Hausband von Heidi Abels „Musik & Gäste“. 1977 Am „Grand Prix d’Eurovision de la Chanson“ holt sich das Sextett mit «Swiss Lady» (später die erste «Goldene») den guten sechsten Platz. Udo Jürgens, nun neu im Management von Freddy Burger, nimmt die Band zu einer Kanada- und USA-Tournee mit. 1980 Fazit der vergangenen elf Jahre: 8 LP’s, 18 Singles, über 150 TV-Sendungen und 330 Tourneetage in der BRD, Österreich, England, Spanien, Schweden, Belgien, Holland, Norwegen und Thailand! Rückkehr eines Jugendtraums: Pepe schart 13 Musiker und eine Sängerin aus fünf Ländern um sich und feiert am 28. November mit seiner Bigband Premiere. 1981 Pepe Lienhard Meilensteine 1 „Pina Colada“ heisst die erste LP der PLB. In Frank Elstners „Wetten, dass...?“ ist die Band in den ersten Sendungen dabei.

Yet her equally wide influence on the world of music was largely unrecognized until 1992, when the late Carlton Lowenberg published his groundbreaking study Musicians Wrestle Everywhere: Emily Dickinson and Music (Fallen Leaf Press), an examination of Dickinson's involvement in the music of her time, and a "detailed inventory" of 1,615 musical settings of her poems. The result is a survey of an important segment of twentieth-century music. In the years since Lowenberg's inventory appeared, the number of Dickinson settings is estimated to have more than doubled, and a large number of them have been performed and recorded. One critic has described Dickinson as "the darling of modern composers."1 The intriguing question of why this should be so has been answered in many ways by composers and others.

  • Assaults on the Faith
    ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ©2017! Brooke!Falk! ALL!RIGHTS!RESERVED! ASSAULTS ON THE FAITH: IMAGINING JEWS AND CREATING CHRISTIANS IN THE LATE MIDDLE AGES By BROOKE FALK A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Art History Written under the direction of Dr. Laura Weigert And approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey January, 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Assaults on the Faith: Imagining Jews and Creating Christians in the Late Middle Ages By BROOKE FALK Dissertation Director: Laura Weigert My dissertation examines manuscripts and early printed books of the “Fortress of Faith” (Fortalitium fidei) as influential works in late medieval constructions of Jewish and Christian identity. I argue that the “Fortress of Faith” moves beyond traditional polemics in its comprehensive use of popular argumentative approaches, particularly in its use of images, which appealed to a variety of late medieval audiences. I suggest a revised stemma, giving preference to the influence of woodcuts over miniatures. Through both types of images, Christians were armed with mental pictures of themselves as knights guarding a Christian fortress. The first two chapters study surviving manuscripts and incunabula of the text with regard to their material execution, visual imagery, verbal content, and regional production and dissemination.
