Well…. we are in May already – hasn’t the time flown by? Like me, I bet everyone is looking forward to the Summer being here properly, with some really nice weather and not much rain so we can enjoy our gardens to the full. We’ve put up a small greenhouse, have built a vegetable plot and are looking forward to having our home-grown vegetables for dinner. We will be planting/have planted various vegetables and plan on having a really good selection of herbs as well, so we can cook fresh for every meal. Actually, I don’t do much cooking myself as my husband is a professional chef – I just do the washing up and believe it or not there’s only the two of us!! So, less of the chit chat and on with the business of our Quarterly IAM magazine. As always, I do hope you enjoy this edition which is packed with interesting articles, fun and SAGAM news.

Just renewed my car insurance over the phone and as I was about to hang up, the operator, obviously touting for more business asked if I had a pet?, "Yes, I've got a dog", I said. "Would you like to insure him too?", she went on. "Er, stupid question", I replied….He can’t even drive a blooming car! I didn't realize how bad of a driver I was until my sat nav said, "In 400 feet, do a slight right, stop, and let me out"!! I always adjust the seat and mirrors when I drive my husband's car so he doesn't forget he's married!!! 4 The IAM Scunthorpe & Grimsby Team Members CHAIRMAN and CHIEF OBSERVER Terry Heath Tel: 01652 655601 Email – [email protected] VICE-CHAIRMAN Tel: 01724 764237 Paul Johnson Tel: 01724 721156 The views and opinions expressed in this newsletter are those of the individual TREASURER writers and not necessarily of the IAM, Malcolm Gothard nor the Scunthorpe and Grimsby group. 01724 764237 SECRETARY The current composition of our group is as Dawn Kitching follows: Tel: 01724 875276 Full Members 108 Mick Harris GDPR Tel: 01724 531625 Associate Members 8 TOTAL 116 Paul Johnson MDU/EVENTS/GROUP CONTACT Please note these numbers can change on a weekly basis.

My contribution to this mag is rather small this time as I’ve been very busy with all the other committee members, helping to keep the group afloat. One thing that is worthy of note, is the results of the national audit for the IAM which can be found on page 20. Several months ago, members of the committee embarked on the arduous task of filling in a questionnaire from head office, about everything to do with the group. Unfortunately, when they first asked us all to do it, we were right in the middle of the merger with the Grimsby side, so it got put on the back burner. Then some months later it came in, a bit like a final demand from someone you owed money to. So, eventually we completed it and did it as true and accurate as we could. We were all supposed to meet up with our area services delivery manager, for a meeting to tell us just how we are doing but the current situation has put a stop to that. So, we now communicate using Zoom conference calling. Very recently we received the results and as you will see, I think they are quite favorable which means all the hours of work your committee has put in, have not been wasted. Our manager appears pleased with most things we do. There is, as always, room for improvement and in due course you will hear of the progress. Please take the time to have a read and feel free to make any comments on the group website. Lastly, I’d like to say that we are very proud of our achievements and will continue to strive to maintain and improve these standards, overcome any issues, promote the group along with advanced driving continuously. Thank you! for your continued help and support without which, we simply couldn’t exist. I just wish each and every one of you a safe passage though these troubled times and hope to see you on the other side of this. Kind regards, Terry Heath. Chairman. TREASURERS REPORT The annual balance sheet showing details of income and expenditure is published on page 7 of this newsletter. The striking difference between the 2018/2019 and the 2019/20 figures is due to the 2018/2019 figures only referring to the nine months after the formation of the Scunthorpe and Grimsby Group. The 2018/2019 figures show just how reliant we are on members’ subscriptions and the associated Gift Aid – so thank you to all who have already paid. Please see the separate article “2020 Local Group Subscriptions” on page 10. Expenditure on newsletters has been reduced since the move to on-line publication for which we have Jan Burditt to thank. If there is anyone else who could now move from paper copies to e-mail please let us know. When access to Scunthorpe precinct was free that was our main way of advertising but now North Lincolnshire Council have put us in the £180/week category that is not really a viable option. The committee are busy trying to find suitable alternatives but they often also come with a fee. The insurance fee, shown as zero, tends to get paid every two years due to the way the IAM deducts the money from our account, so next year will probably be about £300. Thanks go to Vivian Mitwanwari again for running the social evening raffles. At the year end we had 116 members including 7 associates. Finally, we are looking forward to seeing you all again and getting the show, literally, back on the road – which we will.

  • Thesis Proposal
    Analysis of the Present Curriculum: The Kingdom of God, and Proposal for the Future Curriculum of the Presbyterian Church of Korea by Hyeok-Su Chae A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Knox College and the Pastoral Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College © Copyright by Hyeok-Su Chae 2014 Analysis of The Present Curriculum: The Kingdom of God, and Proposal for the Future Curriculum of the Presbyterian Church of Korea Hyeok-Su Chae Doctor of Philosophy University of St. Michael's College 2014 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the present curriculum of the Presbyterian Church of Korea (PCK), and to propose a new curriculum for the future. In 2001, facing the new millennium, the PCK published the current curriculum, “The Kingdom of God: Calling and Responding.” This curriculum was based on the theories of three scholars. It used broad concepts of curriculum developed by Yong-Soo Koh based on the educational theory of Maria Harris, Reformed Church theology by Myung-Yong Kim, and cultural insights by Sung-Hee Lee based on the Korean context. This thesis analyzes the curriculum from three perspectives: educational, theological, and cultural. It examines the congruence between these foundational theories and their application in the written curriculum. Several questions arise from educational, theological, and cultural perspectives. From an educational perspective, is the PCK curriculum true to the broad and holistic curriculum understanding of Maria Harris on which the curriculum was based? From a theological perspective, does this curriculum integrate the theological identity of the Reformed (Presbyterian) Church? From a cultural perspective, has this curriculum adequately considered the unique Korean cultural context? ii This thesis answers these questions by examining the PCK curriculum based on its foundational theories and the Korean context.

ABSTRACT ESSAYS ON INDUSTRIAL NETWORKING AND SMALL AND MEDIUM FIRMS By Yeon-Sook Park The three essays presented in this dissertation aim to investigate the relationship between industrial networking and the growth of small and medium firms in Korea.
