Mazza, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2009 This dissertation examines the citational use of the Judeo-Christian Bible in two sociopolitical debates within the United States: first, the debate over the abolition of slavery in the nineteenth century, and second, the contemporary debate over gay rights. This study incorporates two core theses. First, I argue that the contemporary religious right, in its anti-gay use of the Bible, is replicating the hermeneutical practices used by opponents of the abolitionist movement. My second thesis parallels the first: I argue that the contemporary activists who reclaim the Bible as a pro-gay instrument are standing in the same hermeneutical tradition as nineteenth-century Christian abolitionists.

  • Forestry Training Centre Incorporated
    FORESTRY TRAINING CENTRE INCORPORATED MANUAL ON INTRODUCTION TO FOREST ROADS And Considerations for Reduced Impact Logging ©Tropical Forest Foundation February 2010. Introduction to Forest Roads And Considerations for Reduced Impact Logging FTCI February 2010 Foreword The renewable nature of forests can be conserved indefinitely provided stakeholders act responsibly their interventions in forest resources. One vital and critical aspect of forest management, whatever the objective of management, is the construction of roads and trails. The harvesting of timber in particular leads to a higher density of roads (km/ha) and in addition skid trails at the rate of about 1- 2.5km/100ha; roads are essential for conveying production inputs (machines, fuel, rations, logging rigs, personnel) to the areas targeted for harvesting, for the removal of logs from forest concessions to processing locations, and for concession monitoring purposes. Poor road design and road construction lead to higher truck maintenance costs and deterioration of logs in transit. Roads are therefore intrinsically linked to the viability of forest enterprises. Good roads also reflect environmental responsibility. This manual is for loggers. Its intention is to sensitise loggers to the key considerations guiding road location, road construction and road maintenance within the context of reduced impact logging. a) It does not in any way attempt to replace the excellent manuals on roads available in stores and on the internet. This manual does not attempt in any way to detract from standard engineering criteria for road location and construction. The objectives of the manual are to: provide loggers with enough information in a simple format to encourage the logger into taking road construction and maintenance more seriously; b) help the logger identify any specific problems and to seek expert technical assistance as required; c) help logger articulate their road construction and road maintenance plans within their forest management plans and their annual plans of operations.

  • Frequently Encountered Biased Questions and Statements
    Frequently Encountered Biased Questions and Statements The statements and questions participants posed in RISE LGBTQ-competency trainings often revealed layers of implicit and explicit bias. This document is a compilation of the most frequently encountered biased questions and statements. The intervention statements provided are responses that trainers can use. The supporting research sections provide additional background and contextual information for trainers. Linkages back to the curriculum are also provided to assist in streamlining the flow of information and helping trainers and participants make connections between the material and their questions. When possible, the specific bias is named (e.g. anti-gay bias, anti-transgender bias, and/or heterosexism). I don’t want to promote this lifestyle. Intervention Statement: Supporting a youth’s self-definition promotes healthy adolescent development. The major medical, psychological and health associations agree that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender identities are as normative and healthy as heterosexual and cisgender identities. Regardless of our religious or cultural conflicts, our professional obligations require us to use affirming behaviors and actions when working with LGBTQ youth. Failure to support LGBTQ youth can result in devastating health outcomes for this population. Identifying the Bias: This comment involves a complicated blend of anti-gay bias, anti-transgender bias and heterosexism. Essentially, the statement conveys that the speaker will only support youth who

  • Resources for Study – the Church and Homosexuality
    Resources for Study – The Church and Homosexuality 1. Book: Over the Wall: What the Bible Does Not Say About Homosexuality by Tom Allen Available through internet sales sites such as Amazon.com, etc. This book interweaves Mr. Allen’s personal story of dealing with his growing up in a Pentecostal style church and his own coming out. He includes a good discussion on Bible scriptures that speak to this issue. He uses humor and stories to keep the reader engaged. This book is an “easy read” and was used in a “Book Study” at the Longview United Methodist Church in late 2012. 2. Book: What Christians Think about Homosexuality: Six Representative Viewpoints Available through internet sales sites such as Amazon.com, etc. This is the best book I have seen that looks at the range of viewpoints in the Christian world about homosexuality. It explains how each viewpoint interprets the “significant” scriptural references. It presents the arguments of each viewpoint and also how that viewpoint has been criticized. The six viewpoints represent the spectrum of Christian beliefs from very conservative to very liberal. If one wants to evaluate side by side the range of attitudes toward homosexuality and Christian belief this is the book to read. 3. Book: What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality by Daniel A Helminiak,Ph.D. Available through internet sales sites such as Amazon.com, etc. This is a more in depth look at the Bible scriptures that relate to understanding various scriptural references in the Bible that relate to homosexuality. It provides a much more scholarly look at the scriptures than “Over the Wall” but is not as entertaining.
