  • Robert Barnwell, Speech in the South Carolina House of Representatives, 17 January 1788
    Robert Barnwell, Speech in the South Carolina House of Representatives, 17 January 1788 Hon. ROBERT BARNWELL said, although he had been opposed to the investigation of the Federal Constitution at that period, and in that house, and foretold the unnecessary expenditure of both time and treasure that would be occasioned by it, yet he acknowledged that, if individual information upon its principles could by any means be a compensation for these wastes he should be extremely indebted to the honorable gentleman for the opposition which he had given. Mr. Barnwell was most decidedly in favor of the Constitution as recommended by the Convention, and viewed with pleasure the small sacrifices of interest, which, in his opinion, have been made to effect it. The arguments which had been adduced by the honorable gentleman in opposition had riveted his affections still more firmly to it, and had established in his mind, as conviction, what was only approbation before. If he did not view some part of the Constitution through a medium different from any of the gentlemen who had spoken before him, he should not have troubled this house. With this idea he rose, and left it to the house to determine whether he had done his duty as a member, or whether he had unnecessarily contributed to the interruption of the business before them. When he found that a gentleman of such acknowledged abilities, and of so great experience, was opposed to the Constitution, he expected a train of reasoning, and a power of argument, that would have made the federal fabric totter to its foundation.

  • Lamb of God Memory Verse
    Lamb of God Memory Verse: “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29 Study Plan: Jesus is called the Lamb of God. In studying this lesson, you will learn why this name was given to him. You will also learn about the Jewish Passover and its connection to the Christian celebration of Holy Communion. Step One: What is a sacrifice? Leader’s initials______ In ancient times, many cultures and peoples practiced animal sacrifice. One purpose of sacrifice was to please the gods. Another reason was to make up for mistakes or sins. The people of Israel made sacrifices of animals, grain and wine to make amends for their sins. They gave up something to God so that their sins would be taken away. It was as if their sins were placed on the sacrifice and taken away. They also prayed to God as part of the sacrificial process. (Note: Jewish people do not practice sacrifices today.) Today, we sometimes make a sacrifice in order to get something better. You might give up TV time in order to spend time with visiting relatives. Your parents might give up sleep to get everything ready for your birthday party. We also talk about making sacrifices during Lent, the 40 days before Easter. We examine our weaknesses and strive for better habits in order to renew ourselves and strengthen our faith. We make small sacrifices in order to increase our understanding of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for us. When we read Hebrews 10, we can understand better that Jesus was the final sacrifice for our sins forever.

  • The Ethics of Small Sacrifices Kaplan
    The Ethics and Politics of Small Sacrifices in Stem Cell Research Glenn McGee and Arthur Caplan Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal 9.2 (1999) 151-158 Abstract: Pluripotent human stem cell research may offer new treatments for hundreds of diseases, but opponents of this research argue that such therapy comes attached to a Faustian bargain: cures at the cost of the destruction of many frozen embryos. The National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC), government officials, and many scholars of bioethics, including, in these pages, John Robertson, have not offered an adequate response to ethical objections to stem cell research. Instead of examining the ethical issues involved in sacrificing human embryos for the goal of curing fatal and disabling diseases, they seek to either dismiss the moral concerns of those with objections or to find an "accommodation" with those opposed to stem cell research. An ethical argument can be made that it is justifiable to modify or destroy certain human embryos in the pursuit of cures for dread and lethal diseases. Until this argument is made, the case for stem cell research will rest on political foundations rather than on the ethical foundations that the funding of stem cell research requires. Pluripotent Human Stem CellL research may offer new treatments for hundreds of diseases (Thomson et al. 1998; Vogel 1999), but opponents of such research argue that pluripotent stem cell therapy comes attached to a Faustian bargain: the destruction of many frozen embryos for every new cure. The National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC), the Geron Ethics Advisory Board (GEAB), and many scholars of bioethics, including, in these pages, John Robertson, have raised interesting ethical issues about potential stem cell research (NBAC 1999; GEAB 1999; McGee and Caplan 1999; Fletcher 1999; Robertson 1999).

  • FAITH in POP CULTURE Religious Representation on Television
    Powell 1 1Nss1Do7n7Ei/R 0/ 8 M&91O S2DO4E3C2LI0EI3NT2GY5 9 W/1 F3Oe3bRrKuary 2004 FAITH IN POP CULTURE Religious Representation on Television JARED POWELL University of Kansas Abstract This study is concerned with the presence of religion and religious characters in contemporary popular culture, specifically which groups receive media attention and in what ways they are portrayed. After a careful review of studies in media, religion, and culture, American television is analyzed with a focus on the Fox medical drama House. Using both quantitative and qualitative data found in 155 episodes, the author argues that the world‐renowned television show implicitly holds an agnostic view on religious matters, leaving interpretation up to the audience. Despite many characters that are religious, atheist, or ambiguous about their beliefs, a sense of uncertainty and a lack of specificity appear to promote this idea. Caricaturizing specific beliefs and using them as plot devices also helps to hide religious representation in plain sight. Findings suggest that American popular culture has a tendency to target the broadest possible audience with regard to religiosity by presenting the most basic representation of various views without promoting any single standpoint. More research must be done to further the understanding of how religion is represented via worldwide media and how it is received by consumers. Powell 2 In an age of diverse religious plurality and global media popularity, a few questions must be asked: how do the realms of faith and popular culture intersect, intertwine, interact? How are those in power using our most complex and subtle cultural tools to construct images of differing worldviews? Religious institutions often serve as sources of social pedagogy, but the media does this as well ‐ with the additional power of teaching us how to think about other pedagogical forces (such as religion, philosophy, and academic institutions).
