In a book titled, Basics of Teaching/or Christians (Baker Book House, 1998), author Robert W. Pazmino writes; Teaching needs to be playful, precise, and concerned for both process and product. Teaching can be analyzed in relation to a musical metaphor that includes a prelude, a "lude, " and a postlude. (pg. 10) The prelude sets the stage for what will follow. The lude designates the major teaching movements that are presented or played by the teacher. These teaching movements can be further divided by interludes. Interludes allow timesfor silence, reflection, or dialogue in relation to the teaching content. The Postlude brings the teaching movements to a conclusion or closure and includes elements of student response that encourage the actual of learning to contexts outside the immediate setting. The Postlude also anticipates what will follow in the sequence of teaching. (pg. 47-48) In his book, Robert Pazmino admits to coining the word lude, but claims that the word is derived from the Latin word ludere, which means "to play." In familiar musical terminology, the 'Pre-lude' establishes an introductory context. A 'Post-lude ' is a musical term that describes a concluding statement that often summarizes the motifs that have been introduced since the Prelude. Pazmino creatively suggests that the lude is the subject between Prelude and Postlude. It is the primary motif or theme. The 'Lude' may function as the playful way that a subject is developed and communicated. The author identified and developed a musical analogy and applied it to the Christian Education experience. Teaching, (according to Pazmino), is like a performance where the teacher functions as a conductor who orchestrates his or her classroom, not in an entertaining way, but rather in creating a teaching/learning environment with and for 4 the student. lt is an appropriate analogy. As a conductor, every rehearsal is like a laboratory classroom. The conductor teaches, gives opportunity for creativity, motivates the performer, and corrects mistakes so that the ensemble and conductor are participating in a learning process on the way toward perfo1mance. For the most part, Pazmino utilized a unique and creative metaphor to illustrate the similarity between the process of musical performance with the Christian Education process of growing in the grace and knowledge of God. Consequently, I have borrowed Pazmifio's imagery as a way to organize this paper. All worthy musical compositions have a primary motif. A motif is a brief thematic statement that is stated, developed, modified, and/or embellished throughout the composition. In a symphony, there are usually several primary and secondary motifs that are introduced by the composer. The motifs may (or may not) be related from movement to movement, yet there is always a thematic flow that unifies the composition. For example; Beethoven's FifthSymphony, is based upon a four note motif that is interwoven throughout the masterful composition. The astute listener is able to identify the four-note theme that recurs throughout the composition. The same composer, in his Ninth Symphony (the Choral Symphony - 'The Ode to Joy'), introduces four very different motifs in each of the movements, and still, the symphony has incredible melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic unity, making it one of the most beloved of all classical music compositions. As you begin to read the Prelude of A Wesleyan Symphony of Discipleship .. the introductory motif will establish a context of why the symphonic image is valuable and imp01iant in the process of 'recruiting, educating and empowering lay persons for 5 ministry.' The reader will experience the various motifs introduced as well as the thematic movement through the "Prelude, " "Lude, " and "Postlude " structure that is embraced and used in each chapter. • The Prelude is intended to give personal, historic, or experiential background of each of the chapter 'motifs' and why the topic is important. • The Lude is the 'primary motif.' The Lude represents the developmental aspect of the theme - theologically, experientially or practically. • The Postlude is a reflective statement that summarizes each chapter. The Postlude attempts to be more evaluative of both the topic and I or the implementation of the motif of that particular movement. Each movement of A Wesleyan Symphony of Discipleship introduces a hymn text that supports and/or develops the motif in a practical and experiential way. The reader is invited to sing the hymn as well as read the text, to experience the multi-sensory power of a text with melody and rhythm. As in any composition, (be it musical, literary, theatrical, sermonic, etc) form and structure are incredibly important forcomposer , performer, reader or listener. Thus, in this Wesleyan Symphony of Discipleship, the model that Pazmino introduced in his book is both valuable and appreciated as it has found application in this project! 6 Expressions of Appreciation Finally, the 'Preface' seems to be an appropriate place to express appreciation to the many people who have creatively and synergistically participated in this project. Many of the people named below are unaware of their significant contribution to this project as well as my life. It is important for me to identify them and to express my gratitude. • I am and will forever be grateful for my friendship with the late Dr. Robert J.L. Williams. He was a teacher and mentor forme at a crncialdevelopmental stage in my ministry. His presence in my life is a memory that I treasure. You will read of the formative affect that Dr. Williams had on my life and ministry in Movement II. • I am grateful for the five years that I spent in ministry as the Director of Pastoral Care and Senior Chaplain at Ingham Medical Center. It was a season of creative and visionary ministry because it was the birthplace and the original test tube of implementing a lay ministry paradigm that is the foundation of this project. I will always be grateful for those years of personal growth and spiritual enrichment. I am persuaded that the ministry made a difference to countless numbers of patients, families and staff members. I am particularly honored for the opportunity that was afforded me by President Edward McRee to serve in that capacity. I am also grateful for the friendship that Mr. McRee and I have enjoyed since our days of working together. • I am grateful for the many parishioners in the various congregations where I have been privileged to serve, including those prior to 1990. I am particularly grateful for the original Doctoral Committee members who were part of Lansing's First United Methodist Church, which is the congregation where I began the Doctor of Ministries journey. The committee included; Dan Pappas, Alda Henderson, Bud Belcher and Dick Gargett. • I am grateful for the people of Mason's First United Methodist Church where I have served as Senior Pastor since July of 2000. The Leadership Team as well as the Personnel Team has been gracious in providing me the freedom and the encouragement to take the necessary time to write this important work. Our partnership in ministry has been, is and will continue to be important to me as we grow together as pastor and people. We have accomplished remarkable things in these years and only God knows where the future may take us. 7 • Because of the nature of this project, I feelcompelled to acknowledge the conducting mentors who have had eno1mous influence on my life. Each of them modeled a balance of musical excellence, meticulous leadership ability, while being honorable individuals who were kind, caring and exacting in dealing with the people in their ensembles; and in particular, me. Each of the conductors/ teachers named below have, over time, transitioned from conductor/teacher to friend and colleague. f Dr. A. Raymond Roth - the former Band Director of Flint Southwestern High School. Dr. Roth left Southwestern when I graduated to earn his doctorate in music, becoming the Band Director and Music Department Chairperson at the Flint Campus of the University of Michigan. Dr. Roth was influential early in my life, helping to shape the choices that I made to pursue the study of music education and the original personal dream to be a performer and conductor. Professor John Shows - the Band Director, Trumpet teacher, and Chairperson of the Music Depaiiment at Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri. I spent my freshman year in college with Mr.

  • Guide Salvation with a Smile.Indd
    Salvation with a Smile Joel Osteen, Lakewood Church, and American Christianity INSTRUCTOR’S GUIDE Joel Osteen, the smiling preacher, has quick- ly emerged as one of the most recognizable Protestant leaders in the country. His mega- church, the Houston based Lakewood Church, hosts an average of over 40,000 worshipers each week. Osteen is the best-selling author of numerous books, and his sermons and in- spirational talks appear regularly on main- stream cable and satellite radio. Salvation with a Smile, the fi rst book devoted to Lakewood Church and Joel Osteen, offers a critical history of the congregation by linking its origins to post-World War II neopentecos- talism, and connecting it to the exceptional- ly popular prosperity gospel movement and the enduring attraction of televangelism. In this richly documented book, historian Phillip Luke Sinitiere carefully excavates the life and times of Lakewood’s founder, John Osteen, to explain how his son Joel expanded his legacy and fashioned the congregation into Ameri- ca’s largest megachurch. As a popular preacher, Joel Osteen’s ministry has been a source of existential strength for many, but also the routine target of religious critics who vociferously contend that his teach- ings are theologically suspect and spiritually shallow. Sinitiere’s keen analysis shows how Osteen’s rebuttals have expressed a piety of resistance that demonstrates evangelicalism’s fractured, but persistent presence. Salvation with a Smile situates Lakewood Church in the context of American religious history and illuminates how Osteen has par- layed an understanding of American religious and political culture into vast popularity and success.

  • A D~Cflonary of Reng~Ous Lfteracy
    Six A D~cflonary of ReNg~ous Lfteracy What Every American Jn Cultural Literacy E. D. Hirsch provided a sixty-four-page appendix of Needs to Know and Doesn’t Iterms literate Americans supposedly already knew. Hirsch did not define those terms. He said that you should know who the Abominable Snowman is, but he didn’t tell you that you could find him in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (or for that matter in Himalayan mythology). The fol lowing dictionary, instead of providing a similarly exhaustive accounting of what religiously literate Americans ought to kno~ offers a more mod est list. Learning five thousand terms is not necessary; a hundred or so is a good start. But knowing what these terms mean is essential. So unlike Hirsch’s appendix, this chapter provides definitions of its terms. This dictionary does not try to duplicate the information you might learn in a Religion 101 course. It focuses instead on information US citi ~O7 zens need to make sense of their country and the world—the key stories, doctrines, practices, symbols, scriptures, people, places, phrases, groups, and holidays of the world’s major religions. When it came to preparing this list, the key question was: What does one need to know to under stand and participate in religiously inflected public debates? Consider Sufism: a primer on Islam would doubtless deal with Sufi mysticism, but this dictionary ignores Sufism in order to focus on sectarian divisions inside Islam that are more salient in the contemporary United States (including Wahhabism, which has ridden a wave of Saudi money into f-IarpcrSanFrancisco American mosques).

    The Megachurch and the Religious Marketplace Faith Nelson Seniors Honor Thesis Religion Program Goucher College Spring 2019 Introduction 2 Megachurch History 12 Megachurches: Space and What They Offer 22 An Economic Analysis 33 Conclusion 47 Works Cited 51 1 Introduction The headline, “Joel Osteen Shuts Megachurch amid Flooding Crisis,” was the first time I heard about megachurches. The church was Joel Osteen’s Lakewood megachurch in Houston, Texas. Lakewood’s spokesman said that, “While the church and its arena have not suffered any flood damage yet...their property is inaccessible because of surrounding waters” (Li). There were different reports floating around, some saying that the church was not open due to flooding in the building and then this claim from the Lakewood spokesman that the church was inaccessible due to flooding in the area. It is interesting to note that a nearby convention center had been set up by the city as a shelter for those displaced by the flooding, and the spokesman went on to say that, “And it makes no sense to open church doors when the city and county are already treating thousands of flood victims at the nearby George R. Brown Convention Center” (Li). The spokesperson seems to lack compassion, especially considering Hurricane Harvey affected an estimated 100,000 homes and rendered many of them too damaged or destroyed to be habitable. As a result, there were more than 30,000 people staying in emergency shelters, and it is estimated that there were even more displaced people who were staying with friends and family (Fessler). According to a CNN report, “it was not until the city's convention center reported ​ twice as many evacuees as its capacity, Osteen's facility was publicly welcoming displaced ​ Houstonians” (Ellefson).
