Cooley A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY March 1973 Approved by Doctoral Committee / Advisor Graduate School Representative SAcfo> 545355 ''Yto .Ibi ABSTRACT David. Elton Trueblood is professor at large at Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana. As founder and president of Yokefellows Inter­ national, he is an internationally known writer and speaker. The methodology employed included the traditional canons of rhetoric, a biographical sketch, his theories on preaching, and his mode of speech preparation. The study was based upon interviews with Dr. Trueblood and his associates, his personal file (1920-1972), publications, and correspondence. The inquiry revealed Trueblood as a Quaker, Yokefellow, theologian, philosopher, and a preacher. He reflected his precepts and ethical profile by preaching with a genuine concern for others. His mode of speaking is extemporaneous. Trueblood's arrangement indicated thorough preparation. There was no definite pattern exhibited toward the parts of a speech, but his sermons characterized his awareness of the value of audience contact. He provided variety in an orderly manner. The inventive characteristics of Trueblood indicated he relied heavily upon source credibility, but he used logic, and to a lesser extent, emotional proof. His sermons promoted the ecumenical move­ ment of the Christian faith. Figuratively language was utilized to enhance the audience's understanding. Narrations, descriptions, definitions, comparisons, and contrasts were Trueblood's primary tools through which he presented vivid images of his thoughts and ideas.

  • But Is It Authentic? Mr
    INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS Bryn Barnard 2 alan AU5 C/ Lembah Keramat Ulu Kelang, Selangor ia!aysia BEB8 29 Ouly 1982 But is it Authentic? Mr. Peter Bird iartin Institute of Current World Affairs Wheelock House West Wheelock Street Hanover, NH 03755 Dear Peter, After the heat, fumes, crowding and traffic of Bangkok, Chiang ai seems like paradise. Verdant and cool, Chisng ai is situated in a valley over lO00 feet above sea level, 440 miles to the north of Thailand's steamy, sprawling capital. Chiang ai is Thailand's second largest city, a large town really, that blends provincial Thai culture with bits of inaigenous hill tribe and the est. At first glance much of the city seems but a smaller, quieter extension of Bangkok, dominated by a thriving urban culture of T-shirts, jeans and rock music. Indeed, chiaug lai's pop culture, a result of contact between Thailand and the modern West, is similar to Bangkok's and just as ubiquitous. The provincial variant draws on the capital for sustenance, following the latest trends in music and dress. Chiang Mai also boasts a veneer of Western tourist culture shops, signs and restaurants a result of its de rigeur status among package tourists and itinerant "world travellers" that come to luxuriate in the climate, buy the local handicrafts and paotograph the numerous wats (monasteries), temples and the any hill tribe villages surrondng the city. Urban tinsel, however, has not obliterated the past. In traditional matters, northern Thais continue to assert their separate identity, a mixture of Thai, Burmese, Lao and Chinese culture.

  • A New Jewish Identity for Post-1989 Europe
    jpr / policy paper No. 1 1996 A New Jewish Identity for Post-1989 Europe 'If Europeans must adjust to the reality that they are living in a brand new continent, Jews- and European Jews in particular-must come to grips with an even more startling fact: never in the history of Europe has a moment been so propitious for its Jews as the present.' Diana Pinto Summary Since 1989 a new Europe has emerged. The fall of the Berlin Wall has not merely resulted in the redrawing of geographical boundaries, but in a new intellectual freedom and democratic pluralism. This sea change presents many challenges, but none greater than to Europe's Jews, whose communities were decimated by the Holocaust. Conditions are now in place for a possible Jewish renaissance. The new, politically open Europe, free from ideology - stretching from Portugal to Russia - provides its states as well as its citizens with a unique opportunity to rethink their identities and their histories. A new European paradigm-eschewing the nationalist conceptions of the past in favour of a less unified, more dynamic as well as more uncertain kaleidoscopic model - should be embraced by all Europeans. Freed from the age-old choice between total assimilation and ghettoization, Jews, in many ways the prototype of the new European, have the chance to belong in Europe as never before - as well as the chance to participate fully in the construction of the new, pluralist Europe. Various factors make the moment propitious for European Jewry. Above all, the inclusion of the Holocaust as an integral part of European history has meant the absorption of Jewish concerns into each European nation's domestic reflections on its own past.

  • Lead Guitar Jeremiah Scott – Rhythm Guitar Jonathan Dunn – Bass Tim “Yogi” Watts – Drums
    Ryan Clark – Vocals Patrick Judge – Lead Guitar Jeremiah Scott – Rhythm Guitar Jonathan Dunn – Bass Tim “Yogi” Watts – Drums Demon Hunter is something of profound meaning to their fans, friends, families and supporters, as evidenced by the countless tattoos, fan artwork and videos built upon the metal group’s iconic symbol, album artwork, lyrics, overall message and vibe. To many, Demon Hunter is more than a band. Demon Hunter is a symbol, a voice in the darkness. But make no mistake: Demon Hunter is a creative force in heavy metal whose deft balance of arena ready melodies (several cuts above the current crop) and increasingly extreme metal (which has gotten heavier, faster and more technical in recent years) has won accolades in the metal press and lit up Christian Rock Radio alike for over a decade. EXTREMIST is as bold as the album’s title would suggest, leaving little doubt as to the band’s intentions, musically and philosophically. Demon Hunter champions those who stand opposed to the status quo, those who won’t settle for mediocrity in life or in art. They are driven by high-minded but basic principles, tempered with stark honesty about their own human flaws, their failures, triumphs, tragedies and inherent brokenness. The band’s seventh album is hands-down their most diverse offering. There’s a pandemonium inducing end-of-world soundtrack called “Cross to Bear”; the brutally percussive album opener, “Death”; and the NWOSDM vibe of tracks like “Artificial Light” and “One Last Song,” which calls upon the vibrant melodic death metal sound familiar to fans of At The Gates, Soilwork and Amon Amarth.
