  • CHALLENGE How Shall We Teach a Child to Reach
    CHALLENGE How shall we teach A child to reach Beyond himself and touch The stars, We, who have stooped so much? How shall we say to Him, "The way of life Is through the gate Of Love" We, who have learned to hate? Author Unknown Great ideals and principles do not live from genera- tion to generation just because they are right, not even because they are carefully legislated. Ideals and principles continue from generation to genera- tion only when they are built into the hearts of children as they grow up. --George S. Benson from "World Scouting" RECIPE (For one dealing with children) Take lots and lots of common sense, Mix well with some intelligence; Add patience, it will take enough To keep it all from being tough; Remove all nerves (there's no place for them, Childish noises only jar them); Sprinkle well with ready laughter, This adds a better flavor after; Put sense of humor in to spice it, Add love and understanding. Ice it With disposition sweet and mild, You're ready now to train a child. --Margaret Hite Yarbrough CHORISTERS GUILD LETTERS Volume XIII 1961-62 September Number 1 Ruth Krehbiel Jacobs, Founder Arthur Leslie Jacobs, Editor Norma Lowder, Associate Editor Helen Kemp and Nancy Poore Tufts, Contributing Editors Published for its members by the CHORISTERS GUILD Box 211 Santa Barbara, California Copyright (C) 1961 Choristers Guild - 1 - Several years ago, the following appeared in the first Fall issue of the Letters.

Cunningham, PhD Lucille Byno, PhD ii Copyright © 2020 by Collins I. Anaeche All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT MARITAL SATISFACTION OF COUPLES IN HETEROSEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS WHERE THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN SPIRITUALITY Collins Ifeanyichukwu Anaeche Antioch University New England Keene, NH As the dynamics of the United States’ social landscape shifts in relation to the diversity of culture, ethnicity, values, and traditions, and as religion and spirituality have become highly diverse and fluid, diversity in spirituality has received limited attention in the field of marriage and family therapy. Utilizing an interpretative phenomenological analysis, this qualitative investigation explores common meanings and experiences of emotional intimacy of couples in heterosexual relationships where there are differences in spirituality. Overall, the results of this investigation demonstrate that in situations where heterosexual couples who display differences in spirituality attentively attuned to their individual and relational needs, their emotional intimacy satisfaction was enhanced; in situations where couples’ attentiveness to their spirituality and religious differences was undermined, their individual needs suffered, and their emotional intimacy was impeded.

  • Poems and Rhymed Prayers
    P O published most of his essays Eberhard Arnold E during his lifetime, but almost none of his poems. It M might have been shyness: many are love poems, and S others reveal private struggles. But if they open a a window on a mans inmost thoughts, they also show n him at his most essential and Christ-centered.The d same is true for the poems of his wife, Emmy, and R her sister Else, which have also been collected in H this book. It is their depth that makes them such Y vital reading for us who live in the community they M founded, but who easily forget what it was that drove E them, and what it cost them. D A few days after Eberhards death, Emmy ap- P proached a neighbor with a folder of his unpub- R lished poems in hand: They are not mine anymore A I want to share them. Belated as it might be, this Y collection is a fruit of her generosity. May it rouse E us to seek the faith, hope, and love it witnesses to R so clearly.

  • Examining Contemporary Congregational Song – Beyond Sung Theology
    Examining contemporary congregational song – beyond sung theology By Fay Rosalind Magee Qualifications B Mus, B Ed St (Univ of Qld) Grad Dip Theol (MCD) L Mus A (piano) A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts MCD University of Divinity 30 June 2012 ABSTRACT Examining contemporary congregational song – beyond sung theology What Christians sing as they worship is a focus of considerable attention in the contemporary church and yet it has been a contentious issue at almost every period of Christian history. Since the mid-twentieth century, significant social, cultural, and technological changes, all against a backdrop of increasing global consciousness, have affected the way music functions and the ways opinions about repertoire and performance practices are formed. The primary focus of this project is the analysis of eight songs composed between 1983 and 2001. The essential question is how musical analysis contributes to a greater understanding of the nature of contemporary congregational song and various performance practices. This project will focus on analysis of harmonic structures as the major element. This will provide a framework from which comparisons of other musical elements can lead to a greater awareness of the issues of music and worship, and of music and theology. Developing a greater understanding of how music works enables more receptive and discerning listening and participation. The more difficult aspect of congregational song, that of it being not just ‘sung theology’, can be explored to some degree from a clearer understanding of the musical and textual components and their interrelationship. Various writers are contributing significant insights to how music itself provides meaning and thus how the singing of congregational songs contains and conveys meaning.
