JUNE 2021 News.Wfu.Edu WAKE FOREST IN THE NEWS Selected Media Highlights APRIL – JUNE 2021 news.wfu.edu Finding joy in the unexpected: Wake Forest sends off its class of 2021 with a unique all-day commencement MAY 16, 2021 In a normal year, Wake Forest would hold its commencement outdoors on a Monday morning, but 2021 was anything but normal because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That unprecedented year was reflected in an all-day indoor-outdoor commencement Sunday. “Today is a very special day for Wake Forest University and the class of 2021,” President Nathan Hatch told graduates. “It is worth a 21-gun salute, a fireworks extravaganza and, most importantly and now that it is permitted, the warmest embrace of family and friends.” Pete Buttigieg’s commencement speech was shared on CNBC and Kendall Hinton’s talk was covered in the Denver Post.

After elections on May 15 and 16, it’s clear Chileans will be getting just that. The overall newness of the delegates lends the constitutional process legitimacy in the eyes of those seeking a more inclusive Chile.” Students select works by Salman Toor and Zanele Muholi for school’s art collection MAY 13, 2021 In the early 1960s, Wake Forest embarked upon an experiment — a Student Union art collection purchased by students for the University. This year, students announced nine new acquisitions, including works by Zanele Muholi, Betty Tompkins, and Willie Cole. The COVID-19 pandemic prevented the students from traveling to New York City to look at the works in person, so they instead paid virtual “Tapestry of My Soul” by Rashaun Rucker visits to 16 galleries spread across New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver and Detroit. Reproduced with permission of the artist. Scientists’ research leads to flexible, low-cost technology APRIL 27, 2021 Flexible and low-cost electronics are now closer to becoming commonplace. Research from Oana Jurchescu, professor of physics at Wake Forest, and her graduate student Hamna Iqbal have led to a method to better pinpoint and eliminate sources of instability in the material and devices used to create flexible electronics. “Through the nature of their structure, these materials interact with the air, with the humidity from the air and with oxygen from the air, and they degrade very fast,” Jurchescu said. Here’s why science says you should book a vacation now MAY 24, 2021 According to a poll conducted in 2019, the typical American utters some variation of the phrase “I need a vacation” roughly three times per week. “Having things to look forward to is a major coping strategy,” said psychology professor Christian Waugh. “It helps us recover and adapt to stressors. When you have positive anticipatory things in your mind, there’s just less room for negative thoughts. There’s an overall better profile of positive to negative.” What you need to know about climate change JUNE 1, 2021 Climate change is already affecting your health, home, safety and finances. With rising temperatures and more violent weather come a host of issues. “If insurance companies fear that the worst- case scenarios on climate change might get even worse, they will have to prepare for that, requiring higher premiums,” said Robert Erhardt, an environmental and climate statistics expert. That means higher bills. 2 APRIL – JUNE 2021 news.wfu.edu | twitter.com/wakeforestnews | facebook.com/wfuniversity | instagram.com/wfuniversity WFU NEWS University’s first class of 43 Elite universities welcome engineers graduate more diverse freshman classes MAY 6, 2021 Gabrielle Prichard will begin work as a cloud solution engineer APRIL 17, 2021 Wake Forest is mentioned in this story about how the with Oracle.

  • Capper 1998 Phd Karl Barth's Theology Of
    Karl Barth’s Theology of Joy John Mark Capper Selwyn College Submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy University of Cambridge April 1998 Karl Barth’s Theology of Joy John Mark Capper, Selwyn College Cambridge, April 1998 Joy is a recurrent theme in the Church Dogmatics of Karl Barth but it is one which is under-explored. In order to ascertain reasons for this lack, the work of six scholars is explored with regard to the theme of joy, employing the useful though limited “motifs” suggested by Hunsinger. That the revelation of God has a trinitarian framework, as demonstrated by Barth in CD I, and that God as Trinity is joyful, helps to explain Barth’s understanding of theology as a “joyful science”. By close attention to Barth’s treatment of the perfections of God (CD II.1), the link which Barth makes with glory and eternity is explored, noting the far-reaching sweep which joy is allowed by contrast with the related theme of beauty. Divine joy is discerned as the response to glory in the inner life of the Trinity, and as such is the quality of God being truly Godself. Joy is seen to be “more than a perfection” and is basic to God’s self-revelation and human response. A dialogue with Jonathan Edwards challenges Barth’s restricted use of beauty in his theology, and highlights the innovation Barth makes by including election in his doctrine of God. In the context of Barth’s anthropology, paying close attention to his treatment of “being in encounter” (CD III.2), there is an examination of the significance of gladness as the response to divine glory in the life of humanity, and as the crowning of full and free humanness.

  • The-Joy-Project.Pdf
    “Our eyes of flesh seek joy in the wrong places, define it with a bank- rupt vocabulary, and settle for it using mistaken formulas. Because we don’t know what to do but try harder and hide our shame, we get stuck and sick, depressed and despondent. This dehumanizes us, discourages us, and defeats us. But there is hope! The Joy Project is applied Reformed theology at its best.” –RosaRia champagne ButteRfield, Author, The Gospel Comes with a House Key “Biblically, colorfully, and with realistic precision, Tony Reinke pres- ents God’s work of saving grace as a jamboree of overwhelming sov- ereign joy. This is a book of deep truth that does good to the heart as well as the head.” –J. i. packeR, Professor, Vancouver, British Columbia “The Joy Project is a celebration of Reformed theology, and in this way it’s more in keeping with the Bible’s treatment of the subject—be- hold the beauty before bemoaning the controversies. We cover this topic briefly in our church membership class, and for those who want to pursue it further, this book, for its accessibility and warmth, is the one I’ll recommend first.” –BenJamin VRBicek, Pastor, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania “What do you get when you combine Gretchen Rubin’s The Hap- piness Project with the Five Points of Calvinism and Tony Reinke’s compelling writing? You’re looking at it. It sounds like a weird and unworkable combination, but it works well and results in an out- standingly beautiful presentation of the doctrines of grace. This is the most beautiful presentation of Calvinism I’ve ever read.” –daVid muRRay, Professor, Puritan Reformed Seminary “Tony Reinke’s The Joy Project is a unique and delightful summary of the unfolding drama of God’s sovereign grace.

  • Week 3: “Real Joy When Life Gets Real”
    Week 3: “Real Joy When Life Gets Real” 1. READ Pastor Watley’s Scriptures: Matthew 2 : 9 – 11 New King James Version (NKJV) 9 When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. James 1 : 2 – 8 New International Version (NIV) 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. Luke 7 : 44 – 47 New International Version (NIV) 44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house.

  • December 2019 E-News
    A Teen Residential Program and Community Counseling Center December 2019 E-News Joy To The World By: Steve Lowe, Executive Director Blessings That Break the Curse Joy to the World is one of my favorite Christmas songs. I love the line "He comes to make his blessings flow, far as the curse is found". The ramifications of man's fall and the extent of the curse are profound. Lately, I've thought of this often. We suffer from broken bodies, thoughts, and even desires. We see the effects of sin in broken relationships in our families, divisiveness, hatred, lives wrecked through substance abuse, others destroyed through greed and sexual immorality, on and on we could go. But, Christ's power and grace to break this curse goes deeper still. We indeed experience the JOY of seeing this at The Joy House. I think of Ethan M. who completed the program this year. When coming to us he was failing almost all his classes at high school and was making some poor life decisions. He caught a different vision for his life here and completed the program and two years of school in a single year to earn his diploma and is now on his way to serve our country through an enlistment in the Navy. I think of Mary who is completing the program after learning how to handle some intense emotions and working through difficult tensions with her parents. She also earned her diploma and will be enrolling in college after the New Year. What JOY it brings us to see Christ's blessings flow to break the power of the curse.

Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • Evangelii-Gaudium-Summary-II.Pdf
    Fr. Roger J. Landry St. Bernadette Parish, Fall River, MA December 2013 Outline of Evangelii Gaudium • Introduction o Beginning . Written to Bishops, Clergy, Consecrated Persons and Lay Faithful . On the Proclamation of the Gospel in Today’s World . (1) Joy of the Gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. With Christ, joy is constantly born anew. He wants to encourage Christian faithful to embark upon new chapter of evangelization marked by joy and to point out new paths for Church in years to come. o A joy that is shared . (2) Consumerism leads to covetous heart that is desolate, anguished and pursues frivolous pleasures with a blunted conscience. Self-centered interior life leaves no room for others and poor. God’s voice fades. Real danger for believers. (3) Invites everyone to renewed personal encounter with Jesus, or to let themselves be encountered by him each day. Jesus doesn’t disappoint those who take risk. It feels great when we return. God never tires of forgiving us. (4) OT predicted joy of Messianic Times. Isaiah, Zechariah, Zephaniah all announce it. This is a joy we’re meant to experience daily in the little things of life in response to love of God the Father. (5) Gospel constantly invites us to rejoice. Annunciation. Visitation. Jesus’ ministry to bring his joy to us and make ours complete. Our Christian joy “drinks of his brimming heart.” The disciples rejoiced at his resurrection, even in persecution. “Why shouldn’t we also enter this great stream of joy?” . (6) Some Christians’ lives “seem like Lent without Easter.” Joy flows from being infinitely loved.
