'BAPTISM in the HOLY SPIRIT': a Phenomenological and Theological
‘BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT’: A Phenomenological and Theological Study By GONTI SIMANULLANG A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry Studies Melbourne College of Divinity 2011 Abstract Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) is one of the ecclesial movements recognised in the Catholic Church. Central to CCR (and every branch of Pentecostal Christianity) is a range of experiences commonly denoted as ‘baptism in the Holy Spirit’. Since the emergence of these movements in the mid-1960s it has become common to meet Catholics who claim to have received such an experience, so remarkable for them that it significantly and deeply renewed their lives and faith. In Indonesia, CCR has raised questions among non-CCR Catholics, particularly regarding ‘baptism in the Holy Spirit’, being ‘slain’ or ‘resting’ in the Spirit, and praying in tongues. This study explores, articulates and analyses the meaning of this experience from the perspective of those within Persekutuan Doa Keluarga Katolik Indonesia (PDKKI), that is, the Indonesian Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the Archdiocese of Melbourne. In so doing, it engages this phenomenon from a Roman Catholic theological perspective. The research question for this study is thus: what is the phenomenological and theological meaning of ‘baptism in the Holy Spirit’? A twofold method is employed: within the Whiteheads’ threefold framework for theological reflection – attending, asserting, and pastoral response – Moustakas’ phenomenology is used to analyse interviews with ten volunteer members of PDKKI. The thesis concludes that the essence or meaning of the experience of ‘baptism in the Holy Spirit’ for the participants is an affirmation or a connectedness with the reality of God.

The Occult Teachings of the Christ According to the Secret Doctrine By: Josephine Ransom
Adyar Pamphlets The Occult Teachings of the Christ... No. 179 The Occult Teachings of the Christ According to the Secret Doctrine by: Josephine Ransom The Blavatsky Lecture, delivered before the Annual Convention of the Theosophical Society in England, 1933 The references are to the original Secret Doctrine by H.P.Blavatsky , published in 1888 Published in 1933 Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, Chennai [Madras] India The Theosophist Office, Adyar, Madras. India “For the teachings of Christ were Occult teachings, which could only be explained at Initiation” [ Secret Doctrine, Volume 2, Page 241] I In presenting my theme I must make it clear that I have drawn solely upon The Secret Doctrine for information. I have not sought elsewhere for corroboration or amplification of any point, save a few quotations from the Bible and have made but few comments myself. I leave it to the students to seek their own answers to the question that must inevitably arise in their minds as the story unfolds. For the sake of a sequence these questions are essential: (1) Who was the Christ? (2) Who was Jesus? [Page 2] (3) What were the Occult Teachings of the Christ? (1) Who was the Christ? The answer comes clearly:“The Logos is Christos.....” (S.D. 1, 241) “......There are three kinds of Light in Occultism .....(1) The Abstract and Absolute Light, which is Darkness; (2) The Light of the Manifested — Unmanifested, called by some the Logos; and (3) The latter Light reflected in the Dhyân Chohans, the minor Logoi — the Elohim, collectively — who, in their turn, shed it on the objective Universe.....” “The Occultists in the East call this Light Daiviprakriti, and in the West the Light of Christos.

Infusing Dysfluency Into Rhetoric and Composition: Overcoming the Stutter
Infusing Dysfluency into Rhetoric and Composition: Overcoming the Stutter A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Craig A. Meyer August 2013 © 2013 Craig A. Meyer. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Infusing Dysfluency into Rhetoric and Composition: Overcoming the Stutter by CRAIG A. MEYER has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Sherrie L. Gradin Professor of English Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 Abstract MEYER, CRAIG A., Ph.D., August 2013, English Infusing Dysfluency into Rhetoric and Composition: Overcoming the Stutter Director of Dissertation: Sherrie L. Gradin This dissertation considers verbal dysfluencies, such as stuttering, as generative to writing and its complex process through the various techniques and strategies that derive from verbal dysfluency. Very little work in the field of Rhetoric and Composition has been undertaken to further understand what might occur, and how writing teachers can help, during moments of writing dysfluency or moments in the process that are not necessarily generating text. Writing dysfluencies include a range of things from a hyper- attention to the generalized rules of writing to various avoidance behaviors that inhibit the composition of prose, all of which slow or disrupt the process of writing. I argue that techniques such as circumlocution offer a new way to conceptualize the dysfluencies that student writers may encounter and offer possibilities to better manage or adapt to these dysfluencies. I also argue that the field has too long neglected Demosthenes, famed stutterer, and I suggest that his fabled dysfluency created some of the rhetorical strategies we now rely on.

Improving the Performance Azppraisal System of the Novato Fire
Improving the Performance Appraisal System of the Novato Fire Protection District Erich W. Mesenburg Novato Fire Protection District, Novato, California IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL 2 CERTIFICATION STATEMENT I hereby certify that this paper constitutes my own product, that where the language of others is set forth, quotation marks so indicate, and that appropriate credit is given where I have used the language, ideas, expressions, or writings of another. Signed: _______________________ IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL 3 Abstract The problem addressed by this research is that the annual performance evaluation system at the Novato Fire Protection District (NFD) has not been updated or improved in twenty years and this research aimed to identify the needed changes. Using the descriptive research method, this paper asked what appraisal systems are considered best practice in private industry, what systems are being used by non-fire public service organizations, and what systems are being used by other fire districts. The researcher discovered what elements of the current NFD performance appraisal system the NFD stakeholders felt required improvement and what elements they felt were beneficial. Interviews were conducted with three successful businesses, three local public service providers, and three influential fire districts. Surveys were conducted with the NFD stakeholders and a questionnaire was completed by the NFD Human Resources Director. Seven immediately applicable short-term appraisal system improvement recommendations were made: (1) mandate that evaluations will be done for all employees (2) create SMART goals (3) keep notes (4) meet quarterly (5) hold calibration meetings (6) perform self evaluations (7) create annual detailed and specific evaluations. Five multifaceted long-term appraisal system improvements were recommended: (1) engage senior leadership in the process (2) update criteria with a committee of stakeholders (3) use secured web-based system for file collection (4) develop comprehensive manual (5) continue to seek training.

After the Fire
After the Fire Information and Resources for Recovering from a Fire Important Information Date of Fire: ________________________________________________ Time of Fire: _______________________________________________ Location of Fire: ___________________________________________ Fire Incident Report Number: __________________________ Fire Marshal or Investigator: ___________________________ Page 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3-4 Protect Yourself 5 Re-Entering Your Home 6 Protect our Property 7 Important Documents 8 Documents and Tax Tips 9 Reclaiming Paper Money, Coin, Savings Bonds 10 Books 11 Medicine, Cosmetics and Food 12 Cleaning Tips 13-16 Contacts and Resources 17-18 Page 2 Introduction Why are there holes in my roof? Why are the windows and doors broken? Fire produces temperatures of over 1,200 degrees, along with smoke and hot toxic gases. At times, it is necessary to reduce the heat, smoke and hot gases before firefighters can enter a building to put out a fire and rescue any occupants. Venting the smoke and gases must be done quickly to speed the rescue effort, as well as to prevent the fire from spreading. Cutting holes in the roof or breaking windows helps with this task. Often, walls must be forcibly opened to find “hidden” fires. The fire is not out until every “hot spot” is found. After the fire is out, damage from fighting the fire may appear unnecessary, however, without the use of these firefighting and rescue techniques, lives could be lost and the building could suffer total destruction by fire. Page 3 Introduction Can I re-enter my home? What if my house is uninhabitable? Use caution in re-occupying your home.
