  • The Perfect Sacrifice Lesson Focus | Since His Beginning, Man Has Always Offered Sacrifices to God in Order to Atone for His Sins
    St. Mary's At-Home Guide - February 24 (Ch 20-21) - Grade 5 Lesson 20 The Perfect Sacrifice Lesson Focus | Since his beginning, man has always offered sacrifices to God in order to atone for his sins. No sacrifice, however, could truly atone for sin because no sacrifice was perfect. Jesus’ offering of himself on the Cross, however, was. That’s because Jesus, who both offered the sacrifice and was the sacrifice, was perfect. At every Mass, Jesus, through the priest, continues to offer himself to God when the bread and wine are transformed into his Body and Blood. It is the same sacrifice offered on Calvary, re–presented in time. 1 | begin Pray the Glory Be with your child. Show your child pictures of sheep, goats, calves, doves, wheat, and wine. Explain that if you had lived in Jerusalem during Jesus’ time, your family would have gone to the temple to give these items to the priest for sacrifice. Together read John 1:19–30 aloud. 2 | summarize Summarize this week’s lesson for your child: Example: When Jesus offered his life on the Cross, he became the one, perfect sacrifice, the Lamb of God offered up for all the world’s sins. After that, it was no longer necessary for people to offer up other ritual sacrifices, such as goats, lambs, and doves. 3 | review References Review this week’s lesson by asking your child the following questions: Student Textbook: 1. What is a sacrifice? (The offering up of something to God.) Chapter 20, pp. 83–86 2.

  • From Address to the Second National Congress of Venezuela
    from A DDRESS TO THE SECOND NATIONAL CONGRESS OF VENEZUELA 1819 Simón Bolívar Venezuela declared its independence from Spain in 1811, but then had to fight to win it. The war against Spain lasted for ten long years. During this time Venezuela struggled to create its own government. The following excerpt comes from a speech by Simón Bolívar, the great military and political hero of South American liberation. Bolívar argues that Venezuela must shape a government suited to its own special nature, rather than mimic the United States government. THINK THROUGH HISTORY: Recognizing Bias What was Bolívar’s viewpoint toward the majority of the people of Latin America? Why does he caution against a government of too much freedom and responsibility? Subject to the threefold yoke of ignorance, tyranny, and vice, the American peo- ple1 have been unable to acquire knowledge, power, or [civic] virtue. The lessons we received and the models we studied, as pupils of such pernicious teachers, were most destructive. We have been ruled more by deceit than by force, and we have been degraded more by vice than by superstition. Slavery is the daughter of Darkness: an ignorant people is a blind instrument of its own destruction. Ambition and intrigue abuse the credulity and experience of men lacking all politi- cal, economic, and civic knowledge; they adopt pure illusion as reality; they take license for liberty, treachery for patriotism, and vengeance for justice. This situa- tion is similar to that of the robust blind man who, beguiled by his strength, strides forward with all the assurance of one who can see, but, upon hitting every variety of obstacle, finds himself unable to retrace his steps.

  • College Comeback: ODHE Formal Guidance
    College Comeback A Summary of Ohio Law and Policy on Outstanding Student Balances Owed and Debt-Forgiveness Models that Can Be Applied in Ohio Approximately 1.5 million Ohioans have some college, but no degree (or credential). This presents a critical challenge to maximizing the economic opportunity for that individual as well as for the greater good of the State of Ohio’s economy. These students enrolled in post-secondary education seeking a degree, but we didn’t get them across the finish line. If we successfully help Ohioans enjoy a “college comeback” resulting in a degree (or credential), we can make significant strides toward increasing Ohio’s educational attainment, improving expected gross domestic product, average wages, employment rate and Ohio’s economy. Among the barriers to a college comeback for this population are past-due debts owed to institutions of higher education at which they were previously enrolled, nearly always resulting in an inability to receive a transcript to complete college elsewhere. Facing these barriers, many students opt never to return and complete their degree. In recent years, some institutions of higher education – notably Cleveland State University, Clark State College, Lorain County Community College, Stark State College, and Zane State College right here in Ohio – have begun to offer new debt forgiveness programs. Cleveland State is currently offering up to $5,000 in debt forgiveness – among the best offers we’ve seen nationally. Lorain and Clark State are both offering up to $1,000 in debt relief. A national example is Wayne State University in Detroit. The “Warrior Way Back” program forgives up to $1,500.

  • Between Belief and Delusion: Cult Members and the Insanity Plea
    REGULAR ARTICLE Between Belief and Delusion: Cult Members and the Insanity Plea Brian Holoyda, MD, MPH, and William Newman, MD Cults are charismatic groups defined by members’ adherence to a set of beliefs and teachings that differ from those of mainstream religions. Cult beliefs may appear unusual or bizarre to those outside of the organization, which can make it difficult for an outsider to know whether a belief is cult-related or delusional. In accordance with these beliefs, or at the behest of a charismatic leader, some cult members may participate in violent crimes such as murder and later attempt to plead not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI). It is therefore necessary for forensic experts who evaluate cult members to understand how the court has responded to such individuals and their beliefs when they mount a defense of NGRI for murder. Based on a review of extant appellate court case law, cult member defendants have not yet successfully pleaded NGRI on the basis of cult involvement, despite receiving a broad array of psychiatric diagnoses that could qualify for such a defense. With the reintroduction of cult involvement in the DSM-5 criteria for other specified dissociative disorder, however, there may be a resurgence of dissociative-type diagnoses in future cult-related cases, both criminal and civil. J Am Acad Psychiatry Law 44:53–62, 2016 Cults are generally considered to be new charismatic organization. Because of this perception, it can be groups that espouse religious doctrine that differs difficult for an outsider to know whether a belief is from mainstream beliefs.

THE TECHNIQUES OF THE SACRIFICE OF ANIMALS IN ANCIENT ISRAEL AND ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA: NEW INSIGHTS THROUGH COMPARISON, PART 1' JOANNSCURLOCK ELMHURSTCOLLEGE Elmhurst, Illinois There is an understandable desire among followers of religions that are monotheistic and that claim descent from ancient Israelite religion to see that religion as unique and completely at odds with its surroundrng polytheistic competitors.

  • “On the Third Day”: the Time Frame of Jesus' Death And
    JETS 56/3 (2013) 511–42 “ON THE THIRD DAY”: THE TIME FRAME OF JESUS’ DEATH AND RESURRECTION MARTIN PICKUP* I. INTRODUCTION The three-day time frame of Jesus’ death and resurrection was a part of the earliest Christian preaching. It had a place in the kerygmatic formula that Paul quotes in 1 Cor 15:3–5, a four-line formula that is generally acknowledged to have originated in the very earliest years of the Church.1 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.2 * Editor’s note: Martin Pickup unexpectedly passed away shortly after submitting this piece for pub- lication. This article reflects his interest and expertise in the Jewish background to the NT and in the early church’s proclamation of the bodily resurrection of Jesus. His family, friends, and many former students rejoice in the hope Marty defended with such skill in this article. “So also in Christ shall all be made alive” (1 Cor 15:22). 1 Scholars across the theological spectrum acknowledge the earliness of this formula. Most assign it a date of no more than two to five years after Jesus’ crucifixion. See, e.g., K. Lake, The Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (London: Williams and Norgate, 1907) 37–43; J. J. Smith, “Resurrection Faith Today,” TS 30 (1969) 403–4; G.

    Strategic Planning and Academic Freedom (SPAF) Committee Vanderbilt University Faculty Senate Final SPAF Report Academic Year 2015-16 Chair: Holly McCammon, Sociology, Art & Science I. Committee Members Erin O’Hara, Law, Executive Committee Liaison Sam Chang, Medicine Eric Delpire, Medicine Ray Friedman, Owen Jennifer Green, Medicine John Greer, Medicine Xenofon Koutsoukos, Engineering Michael Miga, Engineering II. Committee Charges The following charges were assigned to SPAF for the 2015-16 academic year. These charges were then discussed and prioritized as follows by the committee for its 2015-16 work. 1. Faculty Manual’s Academic Freedom and Responsibility Statement In collaboration with the Faculty Manual Task Force, SPAF should consider the Faculty Manual’s current statement on academic freedom and make recommendations for revision as appropriate. See also past SPAF reports from 2013-14 and 2014-15 for work previously done. Note that Maggie Tarpley has the Beach report referenced in the Faculty Manual. 2. Diversity and faculty engagement concerning the Board of Trust SPAF should consider diversity on the Board and faculty engagement with the Board. Richard Willis is securing permission to share a detailed spreadsheet on these matters. Perhaps a benchmarking study could be undertaken with the aid of VIRG. VIRG may (or may not) have some of these data. Also, please note that any comparison schools need to be R-1 private institutions. 3. Evaluation of TIPS funding SPAF should evaluate the first year of TIPS funding. III. Work Accomplished This year’s SPAF committee decided to devote most of its efforts to addressing charge #1, although SPAF spent some time on charges #2 and #3.
