Nezareth Casti Rey Castillo Valderrama His slicked black hair glistens as his finger points towards the heavens and his business coat droops, noticeably large for him as he pounces about the stage à la Freddy Mercury, delivering his penetrating speech in a voice that is as self-assured as it is shrill. The megachurch is located in San Juan, Puerto Rico, yet this Peruvian six-year- old’s career had, as family legend maintained, already occupied half of his life. I stared into the computer screen and translated for my amused college roommates what this YouTube sensation was screeching, yet I grimaced internally upon recollecting that I had once regurgitated a variation of Nezareth’s arguments to refute evolutionary theory (or rather a childish misunderstanding of it) when I was about that age. Exposure to this viral phenomenon was my earliest glimpse into the grotesque world of child evangelism. Originally a euphemism for “fundamentalists”, the Evangelists or Evangelical Christians eventually adopted “Born-Again” as their moniker, and among their ranks are counted a staggering number of U.S.

    Weequahic’s MARQUIS “BO” PORTER, 1990, named new manager of the Houston Astros Major League baseball team By Brian McTaggert, MLB.com With the Houston Astros about to embark on a new era that will include a move to the American League, a new color scheme and new uniforms next season, the team on September 27th revealed the man it wants to lead the players into the new frontier. The Astros named Bo Porter to become their 17th manager at a news conference at Minute Maid Park. The 40-year-old Porter, a resident of Houston, was the 3rd base coach for the Nationals in 2012. The chance to manage the Astros is a dream come true for Porter, whose wife, Stacie, grew up in Houston. The family has lived in the area for many years, and Jim Crane, Houston’s President, said he got several recommendations from Houston-area baseball people. “I'm completely honored,” Porter said in a conference call. “It starts at the top with Jim Crane. He's putting together a great leadership team, and I'm honored to be part of that leadership team.

  • Editorial Allan Anderson As the New Editor of This Interdisciplinary
    [PS 12.1 (2013) 5–7] PentecoStudies (print) ISSN 2041-3599 http://dx.doi.org/10.1558/ptcs.v12i1.5 PentecoStudies (online) ISSN 1871-7691 Editorial Allan Anderson University of Birmingham Birmingham B15 2TT UK [email protected] As the new editor of this interdisciplinary journal, in my first editorial six months ago I lamented the lack of social scientific articles. As if to make up for that, we have five thought-provoking articles for you in this issue – two from religious historians and three from social scientists. They cover four continents, and their subjects, though different, are related in the ways I will indicate. The first two articles are revisions of the Walter J. Hollenweger Occasional Lectures given at the University of Birmingham in June 2012. Both provide us with historical accounts of Pentecostals and Charismatics in comparatively little-known regions of North America and Australia, respectively. Dan Ramírez, social historian from the University of Michigan, has a fascinating account of early Mexican Pentecostals in the borderlands between the southern United States (mostly southern California) and Mexico, people displaced and marginalized in Pentecostal historiography. This article really forms a prolegomena for a ground-breaking book that will appear in a year or so. The “perennial xenophobia” of some sections of the US white population (and, for that matter, the erstwhile US governments) has recently been vividly demonstrated in the presidential elections, but the plight of Mexicans and Mexican Americans has been largely hidden. Ramírez’s particular research among Oneness Pentecostals of the Apostolic Assembly (in the US) and the related Iglesia Apostólica in Mexico brings this hidden history to light.

Documentary discourse – both practice and theory – concerns itself with the search for an origin; an object in the real world with which the filmmaking apparatus interacts. The object is the nucleus of the documentary text. The fact that the object is taken from the historical world provides the text and its argument with immediacy and relevance. Writing on documentary focuses on the relationship forged between this object and the documentary text. The cynosure of documentary theory is an examination of the practices and processes deployed by the filmmaker in the representation of reality.

Thursday, August 28, while hundreds of fans were processing through registration in the Marriott Marquis, I was in an airport shuttle bound from Ogden to the Salt Lake City air terminal. There I stood in line at a ticket counter behind Marjoe Gortner. Later I strolled through the cafeteria line and paid prime rib prices for beef stew. Salt Lake City to Denver was a short hop on one of those 737 cattle cars. We mooed and disembarked at the Denver airport, a United Air Lines hub. I made my connection for an Atlanta flight, and thoughts of IRS’ Ogden Service Center were rapidly displaced by plans for the WorldCon. Virtually everyone boarded the right plane. Not everyone. After twenty minutes in the air I noticed the woman in the row ahead of me fanning her hand in distress at the smoke from a cigarette held by a man ahead of her.
