No. 1. January 1865. New Series. Vol. I. EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION. Once more we start: not on a new mission—not with material changes in our plan of operations ; but in pursuit of the old work of helping the bro­ therhood. - Helping the brotherhood ! Yes, this is like the help which we give in congregational matters—somebody to open the door, somebody to' set the scuts, to arrange the table, to tidy up the fireside ; and then to slip 'aside, and mingle with the others as they assemble for their feast of charity If we ..aim at greatness, therefore, it is after the approved fashion set by the Lord himself, in word and deed,—“ Whosoever will be.great among you, let him be your, minister; and whosoever will be chief among you,: let him be your servant.” Because we have only acted this kind of service we have been found fault with ; and because we have (after opening the door) sat down among the rest, in liberty, equality, and fraternity, we have been complained of for opening our mouth, and expressing our judgment with the rest. But we do not much mind that; for we are all liable to grumble at that which does not please us so well: and were there no, imperfections, we would lack the opportunity of forbearance—we must have patience with one. another. , ■ • • • With the help of God, therefore, we shall do again as we have already' done. Here is furnished a 'museum for the storing of the brethren's thoughts and sentiments-—a roll for their true history—a messenger for their loves, and business, and seryice. Simply as curators of that museum, we shall endeavour to keep its stores well arranged and available; and, with gentle, yet firm remonstrance, shall keep out what is not worth pre­ serving—specially all ephemeral personalities, which only turn to rottenness after; and shall avoid verbiage as much as possible, for we have no room for it. As the transcribers of that roll of history, we desire it to be fairly written, and illuminated with loving and loveable pictures. And as the Church of God General Conference: McDonough, GA; Digital Archives Library; https://coggc.org/ 2 THE MESSENGER OF THE CHURCHES. immediate despatches of that messenger, we shall endeavour to have him carry a good and a plainly spoken message. This is our editorial work. And if thus we endeavour to help the brethren, we are not unreasonable in our request for them to help us ; not only to do the work, but to do it after this fashion, and in this spirit. Editors.

  • Non-Conforming Femininity in Game of Thrones: an Analysis of Arya Stark and Brienne of Tarth
    Dearcadh: Graduate Journal of Gender, Globalisation and Rights Volume 1, 2020 DOI: 10.13025/4nzq-hb04 URL: https://doi.org/10.13025/4nzq-hb04 ORIGINAL ARTICLE________________________________ Non-Conforming Femininity in Game of Thrones: An Analysis of Arya Stark and Brienne of Tarth Trejo Morales, Cristina M.A. Gender, Globalisation, and Rights National University of Ireland, Galway Abstract The male gaze is a theory that was developed by Laura Mulvey (1975), addressing the objectification of women in classic Hollywood films. While the male gaze is highly criticized, it is still applicable today and is presented in the representation of women in current media, like the television show Game of Thrones. The power of the male gaze can be seen in the female character’s nudity, the sexual violence directed towards female characters, and how women access political power through sexuality and fertility (Ferreday, 2015; Genz, 2016; Frankel, 2014). While women in Game of Thrones are not powerless, their access to power is through conforming to typical forms of femininity, which means that their access to power is restrained and controlled. However, not all female characters conform to gender ideals, like Arya Stark and Brienne of Tarth. The objective of this paper is to examine how the male gaze can account for the treatment of non-gender-conforming female characters in Game of Thrones, using feminist qualitative content analysis. Looking at non-gender- conforming characters is critical to understanding the diverse ways the male gaze is used to punish female characters, coercing them into femininity. Based on the analysis undertaken as part of a MA thesis, this paper found that although non-gender- conforming female characters were given more liberties than female characters in Game of Thrones, they were still subjected to the control, coercion, and discipline of the male gaze, even if in non-sexual ways.

  • Love Enthroned
    Love Enthroned Author(s): Steele, Daniel (1824-1914) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: Daniel Steele firmly agreed with John Wesley that Christians can and should live a life free of voluntary sin. This striving towards perfection of faith became known as the ªHoliness Movement.º Originally a Methodist/Wesleyan phenomenon, the movement came to have profound effects on later Pentecostal and evangelical Christian communities. This work lays out the doctrine of sanctification, and urges readers to seek further sanctification in everyday life. Because Steele shares his own personal testimony of his faith, the book takes on a decidedly more intimate and relatable nature.

  • Dressing in American Telefantasy
    Volume 5, Issue 2 September 2012 Stripping the Body in Contemporary Popular Media: the value of (un)dressing in American Telefantasy MANJREE KHAJANCHI, Independent Researcher ABSTRACT Research perspectives on identity and the relationship between dress and body have been frequently studied in recent years (Eicher and Roach-Higgins, 1992; Roach-Higgins and Eicher, 1992; Entwistle, 2003; Svendsen, 2006). This paper will make use of specific and detailed examples from the television programmes Once Upon a Time (2011- ), Falling Skies (2011- ), Fringe (2008- ) and Game of Thrones (2011- ) to discover the importance of dressing and accessorizing characters to create humanistic identities in Science Fiction and Fantastical universes. These shows are prime case studies of how the literal dressing and undressing of the body, as well as the aesthetic creation of television worlds (using dress as metaphor), influence perceptions of personhood within popular media programming. These four shows will be used to examine three themes in this paper: (1) dress and identity, (2) body and world transformations, and (3) (non-)humanness. The methodological framework of this article draws upon existing academic literature on dress and society, combined with textual analysis of the aforementioned Telefantasy shows, focussing primarily on the three themes previously mentioned. This article reveals the role transformations of the body and/or the world play in American Telefantasy, and also investigates how human and near-human characters and settings are fashioned. This will invariably raise questions about what it means to be human, what constitutes belonging to society, and the connection that dress has to both of these concepts. KEYWORDS Aesthetics, Body, Dress, Falling Skies, Fringe, Game of Thrones, Identity, Once Upon a Time, Telefantasy.

  • Comparing Depictions of Empowered Women Between a Game of Thrones Novel and Television Series
    Journal of Student Research (2012) Volume 1, Issue 3: pp. 14-21 Research Article A Game of Genders: Comparing Depictions of Empowered Women between A Game of Thrones Novel and Television Series Rebecca Jonesa The main women in George R. R. Martin's novel Game of Thrones, first published in 1996, and the adapted television series in 2011, are empowered female figures in a world dominated by male characters. Analyzing shifts in the characters’ portrayals between the two media conveys certain standards of the cultures for which they are intended. While in the novel the characters adhere to a different set of standards for women, the television series portrays these women as more sympathetic, empowered, and realistic with respect to contemporary standards. Using literary archetypes of queen, hero, mother, child, maiden and warrior and applying them to Cersei Lannister, Catelyn Stark, Arya Stark, Sansa Stark, and Daenerys Targeryen, provides a measure for the differences in their presentations. Through the archetypical lens, the shifts in societal and cultural standards between the novel and series’ airing make apparent the changing pressures and expectations for women. By reading the novel and watching the series with these archetypes in mind, the changes in gender norms from 1996 to 2011 become clear. The resulting shift shows the story’s advances in the realm of fantasy in relation to the American society that consumes it. Keywords: English, Film Studies, Women and Gender Studies 1. Introduction The genre of fantasy has a long and sordid history in its differences in portrayal between the two media, utilizing the depictions of women.
