What we need are people that are totally open to the calling of the Holy Spirit and who would strive to following its urgings. We need to follow in the footsteps of Christ that have led to foreign lands, hostile places and ultimate sacrifice. We need to put aside our agendas, wants and desires and listen to the still small voice of God. We must remember that we “are one in the spirit” and no matter our personal feelings on various issues the “U” in UMC stands for United. United by faith, United under God, United by our shared shortcomings and United in the blood of the Sacrificial Messiah, that died for all. Name: Jane L.

NE Jurisdiction UMM, Board of Lay Ministry, Status and Role of Women, Connectional Table, Nominations Committee Awards/Publications: Indiana University of Pa.’s highest award – the President’s Medal of Distinction. Other Information: Former U.S. Army Officer Statement: THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH IS NOT DEAD! The opportunity for revival is right now! But we must join together, in connection, if we are to regain our momentum. I grew up in a small, great “mill-town”. Our UMC was the center of life for that community. Our lives centered on our Church. But we also appreciated the events such as Sub- District and District Youth Rallies that the UMC would hold at our big Churches. We UMCs should be doing this now! Everyone heralds the huge Christian youth event “Creation” that draws 60,000 youth to Altoona, Pa. As the largest Protestant denomination in the US with millions of members, we UMCs could be doing this all over the U.S. I’m also told we UMCs can’t draw young adults. How about “church softball”? When I started our Church team it almost folded because all the other UMC’s in our area said their members were too old to start a team. Fortunately I found a local church league whose churches are all “independent churches” – the kinds that are full of young people! Why not we UMCs??? And how about a “Song Fest” – we are Methodists – we sing! If I am sent to General Conference I will advocate strengthening our small churches, the ones in every neighborhood and “up every hollow and on every hilltop”. I will advocate holding our Pastors accountable for reaching out to their communities. I will advocate for connection among our Churches with our large Churches being called upon to connect with our small Churches. I will advocate that District Superintendents and Bishops be chosen from our most successful Local Church Pastors. I will advocate for the strengthening of our Lay Leaders at the Local Church, District and Conference levels – give our Laity the opportunity to show their stuff! Old school United Methodism! God has given the UMC the opportunity to do his work. Let’s do it now!

  • Adult Authority, Social Conflict, and Youth Survival Strategies in Post Civil War Liberia
    ‘Listen, Politics is not for Children:’ Adult Authority, Social Conflict, and Youth Survival Strategies in Post Civil War Liberia. DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Henryatta Louise Ballah Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Drs. Ousman Kobo, Advisor Antoinette Errante Ahmad Sikianga i Copyright by Henryatta Louise Ballah 2012 ii Abstract This dissertation explores the historical causes of the Liberian civil war (1989- 2003), with a keen attention to the history of Liberian youth, since the beginning of the Republic in 1847. I carefully analyzed youth engagements in social and political change throughout the country’s history, including the ways by which the civil war impacted the youth and inspired them to create new social and economic spaces for themselves. As will be demonstrated in various chapters, despite their marginalization by the state, the youth have played a crucial role in the quest for democratization in the country, especially since the 1960s. I place my analysis of the youth in deep societal structures related to Liberia’s colonial past and neo-colonial status, as well as the impact of external factors, such as the financial and military support the regime of Samuel Doe received from the United States during the cold war and the influence of other African nations. I emphasize that the socio-economic and political policies implemented by the Americo- Liberians (freed slaves from the U.S.) who settled in the country beginning in 1822, helped lay the foundation for the civil war.

  • Aligning Expansion and Quality in Higher Education: an Imperative to Liberia’S Economic Growth and Development Charles Gbollie 1* N
    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.5, No.12, 2014 Aligning Expansion and Quality in Higher Education: An Imperative to Liberia’s Economic Growth and Development Charles Gbollie 1* N. Macpherson David 2 1. School of Psychology, Central China Normal University, 152 Luoyu Street, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, 430079, P. R. China 2. College of Environment, Hohai University, 1-Xikang Road, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, P. R. China * E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This paper highlights and discusses the need for aligning expansion and quality of higher education in Liberia. It emphasizes that such initiative is inevitable to the sustainable economic growth and sociopolitical development of the country. Because with better education, Liberia as a country is sure to achieve political stability, create wealth and sustain growth. Honestly speaking, the existence of higher education institutions will make little or no impact on the nation’s national development agenda in the absence of quality as the ability to undertake initiatives and be innovative largely depends on the quality of knowledge acquired. Like other countries, this paper notes that Liberia’s higher education subsector continues to expand in various ways, intended to satisfy the access demand by the growing population. Consequently, there has been a tremendous increase from 3 to 30 tertiary institutions in the country. Capitalizing on Functionalist theorists’ view on HE expansion that universities can go a long way towards solving societal problems through development and use of new knowledge, this paper acquiesces, but underscores that ensuring quality is very vital in the fulfillment of HE purposes.

  • State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Of
    I I M>, TEACHER EDUCATION IN LIBERIA Charles Arthur Mehaffey 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 March 1980 © 1980 Charles Arthur Mehaffey All Rights Reserved. il ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to make a historical, descrip­ tive, and analytical examination of institutions concerned with teacher education in Liberia. After looking at the Liberian national and educational background, an examination of the status of Liberian teachers was made. The main focus of this study was to examine the role that the W. V. S. Tubman Teachers College of the University of Liberia, Cuttington University College, and the Rural Teacher Training Institutes at Kakata and Zorzor have played, are playing, and will play in dealing with the problems and progress associated with teacher education in Liberia. A review of the Liberian national and educational background and the status of Liberian teachers revealed the need for improving the teacher education programs in Liberia. Both the quantity and preparation of the teachers in Liberia need to be improved to meet the nationally established goals. With the increase in population and demands for educational services, the future problems and frustrations facing these teacher education institutions also seem likely to increase. These four institutions primarily responsible for teacher education in Liberia, the W. V. S. Tubman Teachers Ill College of the University of Liberia, the Education Division of Cuttington University College, and the Rural Teacher Training Institutes at Zorzor and Kakata, have shown much progress in teacher education since 1947.
