These are the words of Dr. Samuel McCrae Cavert concerning his feeling on the prospect for the World Council of Churches. The word 11 ecumenical, 11 stemming from the Greek oikoumenikos, is defined by Webster in this Ymy: 11 General, world-vv:i..de in extent, in- fluence, etc.; pertaining to the whole church; world-1vide in its inclu­ siveness.n2 Dr. T. z. Koo has explained the term 11 ecumenical11 by saying, 11 That which is international starts from the fact of division. 3 That which is ecuinenical starts from the fact of unity. a Participating with others in a recognition of Jesus Christ as Lord, head of the Church, and Saviour of the world, results in a deeper . 1.

Statement of the Problem ~1is research vdll be a consideration of the part youth can play in ecumenical Christianity. If the Church is to make itself felt as the organ of Christian fellowship and unity, young people must realize their responsibility as valuable instruments in such a high purpose. In taking a backward glance at world-•vide Christian youth organizations, it is possible to see wherein these movements have contributed to ecumeni­ city. Consideration Yr.i.ll be given to the recent 1'10rld youth conferences that have been held, namely the First World Conference of Christian Youth in Amsterdam, Holland, in 1939, the Second World Conference of Christian Youth in Oslo, Norway, in 1947, and the Youth Delegation to the World Assembly in

  • Building Cold War Warriors: Socialization of the Final Cold War Generation
    BUILDING COLD WAR WARRIORS: SOCIALIZATION OF THE FINAL COLD WAR GENERATION Steven Robert Bellavia A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Karen B. Guzzo Graduate Faculty Representative Benjamin P. Greene Rebecca J. Mancuso © 2018 Steven Robert Bellavia All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This dissertation examines the experiences of the final Cold War generation. I define this cohort as a subset of Generation X born between 1965 and 1971. The primary focus of this dissertation is to study the ways this cohort interacted with the three messages found embedded within the Cold War us vs. them binary. These messages included an emphasis on American exceptionalism, a manufactured and heightened fear of World War III, as well as the othering of the Soviet Union and its people. I begin the dissertation in the 1970s, - during the period of détente- where I examine the cohort’s experiences in elementary school. There they learned who was important within the American mythos and the rituals associated with being an American. This is followed by an examination of 1976’s bicentennial celebration, which focuses on not only the planning for the celebration but also specific events designed to fulfill the two prime directives of the celebration. As the 1980s came around not only did the Cold War change but also the cohort entered high school. Within this stage of this cohorts education, where I focus on the textbooks used by the cohort and the ways these textbooks reinforced notions of patriotism and being an American citizen.

Its theme is love, The credit is almost always given, not to some charismatic leader, but to the Holy Spirit. From coast to coast, as a team of reporters for Home Missions and Baptist Press question- ed participants in the spiritual phenomenon, the youth unhesiatingly credited every good action to the Holy Spirit. The manifestations of their belief varied from the jabber of speaking in tongues and raised hands ans swaying bodies, to a quiet movement through the dry plains of nearly dead churches. Some youthful Christians who are "turned on to jesus" reject, however, the emphasis in speaking in tongues among other youth groups, Ironically, right here might come the theological battles of the movement, both over tongues, or "the baptism of the Spirit" as it is usually called, and over free expression of one's faith. Because of differing views on "~!cesolalia" (another name for speaking in tongued, some youth groups denied they were a part of the "Jesus movement, " as the media have labeled this national spiritual phenomenon. "No, we're not part of it, " one person wodd say. But another, referring to the first individual's group, would counter: "Yeah, they're in the movement', but we're really not part of the Jesus freaks.
