Carnival World Celebrations and Festivities There Are Many Festivals and Celebrations Around the World Throughout the Year
Carnival World celebrations and festivities There are many festivals and celebrations around the world throughout the year. However, carnival is one of the most famous and colourful festivities. Many carnivals take place in the build-up to the religious season of Lent, which is the six weeks before Easter Sunday. Therefore, many carnivals take place during February. Often during Lent, people give up something that they will find difficult to do. This could be a type of food or a bad habit. What is carnival? Carnival can be different depending on the country. Lots of countries focus on their own traditions and are often a celebration of the culture of their country. In most countries at carnival, you will see masks, colourful costumes, music and parades. Some Carnivals have special trinkets or symbols. In New Orleans, they have sweet and very colourful cakes called King Cakes as a symbol of their carnival (Mardi Gras). Carnival The largest carnival The most famous and largest carnival in the world takes place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Carnival in Brazil is not just a fun celebration; it is a chance to experience the different types of culture in the country. Brazil is often referred to as a ‘melting-pot’ of culture. This is because there are a variety of different cultural influences brought about by the diverse population. There are many European, African and American influences. Carnival is about the Brazilian way of life and their way of thinking. There are many parties celebrating the songs, music and dances typical of Brazilian culture. -
November Lay Ministry
The Episcopal Church of the Nativity The Window Volume 24, Issue 7 July 2017 From the Rector Katie and the kids and I have been at Beckwith for a couple days now. Fresh off the joy of Vacation Bible School at Nativity, she is serving as the camp nurse and I as the dean for the week. Various clergy members from around the diocese are asked to serve in this capacity each summer. The dean at a summer camp week is respon- sible for crafting a program to present each evening to the partici- pants. This summer the theme is “Do justly, love mercy, walk hum- bly with your God.” The dean’s program is just one aspect of the Beckwith experience, though. The rest of the program responsibilities are handled by the summer camp staff and director. The staff this week has put me in mind of the legacy we leave our children. This past year, Beckwith hired one of the students from the youth group at Christ Church in Pensacola as the program director. Addie Boyd-Quina not only oversees the sum- mer camp program, but all the programming aspects of our camp and conference center. Addie was one of the young people to whom Katie and I were the closest when we served at Christ Church and it is a joy to see her passing on the faith to another generation of young people. Her staff this summer also has members whom I know well. Our own Amber Somma is serving as a staff member. Philip Iversen, who is serving as the camp music director, is the child of an old friend I know through my work with teens in the diocese. -

Preliminary Demographic Analysis of a Toba Population in Transition in Northern Argentina Abstract The Toba represent one of the many indigenous groups inhabiting the Gran Chaco of South America. They currently live in communities with different degrees of acculturation. We present here a preliminary data on fecundity and mortality estimates for a rural Toba population located in the province of Formosa, Argentina. Reproductive histories (n = 435) were obtained from villagers 12 years old and older. Reproductive histories were cross-checked with other sources such as national identification documents, health records kept at the local health center, and previous censuses to verify the information obtained. The analysis presented here includes data from 1981 to 2002. We estimated the crude birth rate, total fertility rate, the crude death rate, and the rate of population growth. -

'Culture Collecting': Examples from the Study of South American (Fire)
The Cracks, Bumps, and Dents of ‘Culture Collecting’: Examples from the Study of South American (Fire) Fans As rachaduras, solavancos e amolgadelas da ‘coleta de cultura’: exemplos do estudo dos abanos (para fogo) sul-americanos Konrad Rybka Leiden University, The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract: Ethnography, a means of representing the culture of a people graphically and in writing, as well as ethnographic museums, institutions devoted to conserving, contextualizing, and displaying indigenous heritage for wider audiences, strive to portray cultures adequately and on their own terms. However, given that the ethnographic enterprise has virtually always been carried out by and within non-indigenous scientific structures, its products are at a high risk of being tinged by the Western lens, in particular Western scientific theory and practice. This article focuses on the ethnographic record of South American fire fans – defined by ethnographers as tools for fanning cooking fires – to demonstrate how such biases can be removed by taking stock of the entirety of the relevant ethnographic heritage and analyzing it through the prism of the documented practices in which such objects are enmeshed, including the very practice of ethnography. In the light of such practices, the ethnographic record of fire fans deconstructs into a corpus of historical documents revealing the momentary, yet meaningful, technological choices made by the indigenous craftsmen who produced the objects and exposing Western categories, Kulturkreise mentality, and culture-area schemata imposed on them. Keywords: collection; fire fans; Lowland South America. Resumo: A etnografia, enquanto meio de representar a cultura de um povo graficamente e por escrito, bem como os museus etnográficos, instituições dedicadas a conservar, contextua- lizar e exibir o patrimônio indígena para um público mais amplo, se esforçam para retratar as culturas de forma adequada e em seus próprios termos. -

Several different constituencies within world Christianity held significant events around 2010. From 2005, an international group worked collaboratively to develop an intercontinental and multi- denominational project, known as Edinburgh 2010, based at New College, University of Edinburgh. This initiative brought together representatives of twenty different global Christian bodies, representing all major Christian denominations and confessions, and many different strands of mission and church life, to mark the centenary. -

IN St EDUCATION wV", C BY •V/ SAYEEDUL HAQUE s^^ ^ 1^' UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF PROF. ALI AHMAD DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2009 ^&. ABSTRACT Title of the study: "Contribution of Christian Missionaries Towards Development of Secondary Education in Assam Since Independence" Education is the core of all religions, because it prepares the heathen mind for the proper understanding and acceptance of the supremacy of his Creator. Thus, acquisition of Knowledge and learning is considered as an act of salvation in Christianity. The revelation in Bible clearly indicates that the Mission of Prophet of Christianity, Jesus Christ, is to teach his people about the tenets of Christianity and to show them the true light of God. As a true follower of Christ, it becomes the duty of every Christian to act as a Missionary of Christianity. The Missionaries took educational enterprise because they saw it as one of the most effective means of evangelization. In India, the European Missionaries were regarded as the pioneers of western education, who arrived in the country in the last phase of the fifteenth century A.D. The Portuguese Missionaries were the first, who initiated the modem system of education in India, when St. Xavier started a University near Bombay in 1575 A.D. Gradually, other Europeans such as the Dutch, the Danes, the French and the English started their educational efforts. -
