Help me to live so that they only see Jesus in me. I will study God’s word so I can present its great truths faithfully and well. Safety and care Carelessness is the opposite of loving. True care will be anticipatory (thinking ahead and being responsible), pro-active (their concerns are my concerns) and personal. The most important thing is not the program – it’s the person. So keep your ministry safe! Don’t assume that everything will be OK – build safety and care into your youth ministry.

  • Development of Sufism in Bengal
    DEVELOPMENT OF SUFISM IN BENGAL ABSTRACT Thesis Submitted for the degree of JBottor of $I)tlo£iopIi|> IN ISLAMIC STUDIES BY MUHAMMAD ISMAIL Under the supervision of Mr. AZOUDDIN KHAN READER DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1989 1 The present work seeks to investigate the Development of Sufism in Bengal from the thirteenth to the twentieth century. Mo serious attempt has so far been Tiade to reconstruct the history of Sufism in i^-'ngal. The attention of the most of the scholars has centred- round the political history of Bengal,- making occasior. 1 references to its Saints but their accounts are uncritical and generally based upon the later hagiological material. In the present work an attempt has been made to make a fairly extensive and critical use of all sources available. Throughout the work we have attempted to justify by reasonable argument our reliance on a parti- cula'r source, wherever there has been a conflict of evidence or a contradiction. This aspect of the development of Sufism in Bengal is based on brief references found in the chronicles of Northern India and on the data collected from a study of inscriptions, coins and other archae^ogical evidence.. There is, however, sufficient materials in these chronicles as well as in the contemporary literature both Persian and Bengali available, with the help of which Develoo- nent of Sufisn in ^engal can be reconatructecl. In fact the Islaiaic proslelytization of India did not begin with coercion and blloashed; the first conversion were made by its Saints. Bengal's contact with the wiUslims, in the field of trade, colonization, and missionary work, began much earlier than its conquest in the thirteenth century.

  • November/December 2010
    Vision, November/December 2010 www.nacc.org/vision/ Words of hope penetrated blanket of confusion, disorientation By Sister Eileen Buckley, BCC, MA, RSHM On Aug. 11, 2003, I experienced the onset of a serious illness that seemed to be permeated with hope as an underlining theme. For a few days prior to Aug. 11, I was not feeling well and thought I had flu. However, on that Monday morning, a new symptom appeared. I experienced a severe pain in my right knee, and my response was to get to our Mayo Clinic Urgent Care center. Somehow I managed to get there, a distance of about eight blocks, but I have no recollection of how I did it. Later doctors would remind me that on that occasion I had not only one, but many guardian angels protecting me. Actually I have been told that when I presented myself at the desk, the only responses I could give were to identify my name and address. Beyond that all communication became incoherent. This started a process of rapid medical attention and transfer by ambulance to St. Marys Hospital. My condition deteriorated considerably and later that evening I was taken to surgery to remove fluid from four swollen areas on the right side of my body. Before being transported to surgery, words of one of our medical ICU doctors entered deep within my consciousness. These words would surface many times later on and be a great source of hope. He said something to the effect: “Sr. Eileen, you are so dear to us all here, stay with us.

  • Found Poetry: a Tool for Supporting Novice Poets and Fostering Transactional Relationships Between Prospective Teachers and Young Adult Literature
    Found Poetry: A Tool for Supporting Novice Poets and Fostering Transactional Relationships Between Prospective Teachers and Young Adult Literature DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lisa Patrick, M.A. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Barbara Kiefer, Advisor Barbara Lehman Linda Parsons Copyright by Lisa Patrick 2013 Abstract The purpose of this qualitative classroom-based dissertation study is to examine what happens when prospective teachers write found poetry using young adult literature. Found poetry is a poetic form created by reframing words from the linguistic environment surrounding the poet. In this study, the participants wrote found poems using words from a novel of their choice that they had read for the teacher researcher’s course on young adult literature at a major Midwest university. Found poetry was investigated as a means for supporting novice poets in their writing efforts; readers in their transactional relationships with texts; and prospective teachers in their confidence and attitudes toward their future teaching of poetry writing. The primary data collected for the dissertation consisted of an extensive in-class written reflection over the found poetry writing project. Attride-Stirling’s (2001) thematic networks tool was used to analyze and interpret the data. Found data poems were created from the words of study participants in order to represent the thematic findings, as well as to seek congruence across multiple forms of data analysis and representation. The first research question asks how writing found poetry might support novice poets.
