A Note from Pastor Dave A Note from Pastor Dave Today I’m talking about how to get “into” and “out of” DEPRESSION . using 3 men of God who all wanted to kill themselves: Moses, Elijah, and Jonah! A recent survey found 70% of Pastors battle depression. Listen Calvary, the ministry is not immunity and God’s servants, whether they are in the pew or in the pulpit, are subject to depression. God has ways to help us, so listen up today! God may be speaking to you! There is hope in Jesus — His Grace is Enough!

  • The Better Angels
    Roundtable: The Better Angels Whenever there is a new film about Abraham Lincoln, it is a major event for Lincoln scholars as well as the general public. Thus, when the publicity department for The Better Angels contacted me last fall and offered to send some pre-release copies I jumped at the chance. I decided to send them to four scholars of different backgrounds to see how each of them interpreted the film, and I could not be more pleased with the results. William E. Bartelt contributes his experi- ence as the leading scholar on Lincoln’s Indiana years as well as his direct involvement with the film, Jackie Hogan offers the perspec- tive of a sociologist interested in Lincoln’s legacy and the way he is represented in popular culture, Megan Kate Nelson brings her usual wit and familiarity with cultural history to bear, and John Stauffer uses his vast knowledge of American art and culture to offer a deep analysis of the film’s artistic and religious resonances. I hope you enjoy this new feature, and perhaps we can try it again for future Lincoln films. Christian McWhirter, Editor The Making of The Better Angels WILLIAM E. BARTELT Early in 2009 I received a call from the Indiana Film Commission seeking permission to give my contact information to film producers A. J. Edwards and Nick Gonda. The pair had read my recent book on Lincoln’s youth and wanted to discuss their idea for a film covering a brief period of Abraham Lincoln’s life in Indiana. My subsequent conversations with the pair revealed that although Lincoln lived more than thirteen years in Indiana, their film would represent about four years of his life—ages eight to eleven or twelve—and would explore relationships between Lincoln and both his birth mother and his stepmother.

A word read out of place can set a book on fire (“Superstar” 4.17) or send a person to a hell dimension (“Belonging” A2.19); a poorly performed spell can turn mortal enemies into soppy lovebirds (“Something Blue” 4.9); a word in a prophecy might mean “to live” or “to die” or both (“To Shanshu in L.A.” A1.22).

  • Angels in the Nursery: the Intergenerational Transmission of Benevolent Parental Influences
    IMHJ (Wiley) LEFT BATCH top of AH ARTICLE ANGELS IN THE NURSERY: THE INTERGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSION OF BENEVOLENT PARENTAL INFLUENCES ALICIA F. LIEBERMAN, ELENA PADRO´ N, PATRICIA VAN HORN, AND WILLIAM W. HARRIS San Francisco General Hospital and University of California, San Francisco ABSTRACT: Fraiberg and her colleagues (1975) introduced the metaphor “ghosts in the nursery” to de- scribe the ways in which parents, by reenacting with their small children scenes from the parents’ own unremembered early relational experiences of helplessness and fear, transmit child maltreatment from one generation to the next. In this article we propose that angels in the nursery—care-receiving experi- ences characterized by intense shared affect between parent and child in which the child feels nearly perfectly understood, accepted, and loved—provide the child with a core sense of security and self-worth that can be drawn upon when the child becomes a parent to interrupt the cycle of maltreatment. We argue that uncovering angels as growth-promoting forces in the lives of traumatized parents is as vital to the work of psychotherapy as is the interpretation and exorcizing of ghosts. Using clinical case material, we demonstrate the ways in which early benevolent experiences with caregivers can protect against even overwhelming trauma, and examine the reemergence of these benevolent figures in consciousness as an instrument of therapeutic change. Finally, we examine implications of the concept of “angels in the nursery” for research and clinical intervention. RESUMEN: Fraiberg y sus colegas (1975) introdujeron la meta´fora “fantasmas en la habitacio´n” para describir las maneras en que los padres transmiten el maltratamiento infantil de una generacio´n a la otra, por medio de poner en escena, con sus nin˜os pequen˜os, situaciones de sus propias -si bien no recordadas- experiencias de miedo y falta de ayuda en sus tempranas relaciones en sus tempranas relaciones.

Gran-O’Donnell A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Karina L. Walters, Chair Tessa A. Evans Campbell Lynne C. Manzo Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Social Work © Copyright 2016 Stella M. Gran-O’Donnell University of Washington Abstract Being, Belonging, and Connecting: Filipino Youths’ Narratives of Place(s) and Wellbeing in Hawai′i Stella M. Gran-O’Donnell Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Karina L. Walters School of Social Work Background: Environmental climate change is an urgent concern for Pacific Islanders with significant impact on place along with bio-psycho-social-cultural-spiritual influences likely to affect communities’ wellbeing. Future generations will bear the burden. Indigenous scholars have begun to address climate-based place changes; however, immigrant Pacific Islander populations have been ignored. Although Filipinos are one of the fastest growing U.S. populations, the second largest immigrant group, and second largest ethnic group in Hawai’i, lack of understanding regarding their physical health and mental wellbeing remains, especially among youth. This dissertation addresses these gaps. In response to Kemp’s (2011) and Jack’s (2010, 2015) impassioned calls for the social work profession to advance place research among vulnerable populations, this qualitative study examined Filipino youths’ (15-23) experiences of place(s) and geographic environment(s) in Hawai′i. Drawing on Indigenous worldviews, this study examined how youth narrate their sense of place, place attachments, ethnic/cultural identity/ies, belonging, connectedness to ancestral (Philippines) and contemporary homelands (Hawai’i), virtual environment(s), and how these places connect to wellbeing.

    Best Dad Ever How My Kids Introduced Me to God the Father Copyright © 2019 Brian Kissinger No rights reserved. All parts of this publication may be reproduced, distributed, transmitted, or tattooed without written consent of the author. Edited by Mary Patterson Verbeck [email protected] 1 Chapter 1: Who is He? My toddler doesn’t trust me. I realize that most experts wouldn’t recommend opening a book about fatherhood with honesty like this, but here we are. A few days ago I brought my two-year-old son, Isaac, grocery shopping. For most people it’s a boring destination, but kids don’t get out much so my son was obnoxiously excited about the trip. Once he heard that he’d be coming with me, Isaac just kept chanting “store, store, store” over and over as I put his shoes and coat on. He scooted down the stairs and headed to the front door, his chanting growing in volume with each step. Lifting my son off the ground we headed to the car, both of us preparing our hearts for the produce aisles that awaited us. Isaac’s mood took a drastic turn once I opened the car door and he realized he’d be sitting once again in his dreaded car seat. He went into full body resistance mode, arching his back and turning sideways to thwart my buckling efforts. I wondered for a minute if maybe he had realized how boring grocery shopping actually is, or if he had possibly paid attention to the first reading at mass the week before and realized the terrifying biblical precedent for beloved sons named Isaac taking trips with their dad.

PREFACE. IN the month of August, 1841, I attended an anti-slavery convention in Nantucket, at which it was my happiness to become acquainted with FREDERICK DOUGLASS, the writer of the following Narrative. He was a stranger to nearly every member of that body; but, having recently made his escape from the southern prison-house of bondage, and feeling his curiosity excited to ascertain the principles and measures of the abolitionists,—of whom he had heard a somewhat vague description while he was a slave,—he was induced to give his attendance, on the occasion alluded to, though at that time a resident in New Bedford.

  • (Post) Communist Homelessness? Identity and Belonging in Dagmara
    STUDIA MIGRACYJNE – PRZEGLĄD POLONIJNY MIGRATION STUDIES – REVIEW of POLISH DIASPORA nr 4 (170)/2018, ss. 45–58 DOI: 10.4467/25444972SMPP.18.045.9447 ISSN 2081-4488 • e-ISSN 2544-4972 Sonia Caputa1 University of Silesia (Post)communist homelessness? Identity and belonging in Dagmara Dominczyk’s Th e Lullaby of Polish Girls Dagmara Dominczyk’s Th e Lullaby of Polish Girls mirrors her own experience as a Polish émigré of the early 1980s and touches upon the myriad stages of exile. Similarly to other Ameri- can writers of Polish descent (e.g. Leslie Pietrzyk, Karolina Waclawiak or Anthony Bukoski), the writer’s debut novel explores the problematic questions of immigrant’s assimilation, desire for acceptance or one’s ties to the home country. But above all, Grażyna Kozaczka notices that “[the literary work] off ers an additional option opened to Polish American fi ction writers”, because the main character of the book, Anna Baran, is able to embrace both: Polish and American culture and claims two homelands as her own. Whether the protagonist is completely free from immi- grant-homelessness or not, seems to be a thought-provoking matter as it seems that Domin- czyk’s protagonist is engrossed in the yearning desire to return to the country of her forefathers; i.e. to Poland in general and Kielce in particular. However, the city of her birth and simultane- ously the place where she spent her summer holidays, which is aptly described by the author of the novel in the moment of transition (as communist Poland of the late 1980s alters into a dem- ocratic country) belongs to the sphere of her memory and a real return to the past time is not possible.

  • Belonging in Oakland: a Cultural Development Plan
    Belonging in Oakland A CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Spring 2018 Cultural Affairs Division | Economic & Workforce Development Department Prepared by the Cultural Affairs Division Written by Vanessa Whang with contributions from Communities in Collaboration | Comunidades en Colaboración and Alex Werth Dear Oaklanders, It is my great pleasure to present to you Belonging In Oakland: A Cultural Development Plan. This is the first cultural plan Oakland has created in 30 years. It illustrates the vibrant and diverse ways our city understands itself as a community of creativity and care—and how we envision the path forward to maintain our unique identity. It gives voice to the idea that we all belong to each other as Oaklanders and affirms that our civic well-being is deeply rooted in Oakland’s long- term artistic and cultural health. I often refer to our city’s cultural vibrancy as being part of the secret sauce that Oaklanders embody in their daily lives. It’s in our dance moves, our lyrics, our murals, our paintings; the notes of our musi- cians, the wisdom of our cultural bearers, the voices on the stage and in the streets, and in the words of our writers and poets. These cre- ative expressions ensure that we live, work, and play in a city where we all feel a sense of belonging—a sense of Oakland. Thus the guid- ing vision of the plan: Equity is the driving force. Culture is the frame. Belonging is the goal. As part of the process to create the Cultural Plan, we heard from Oak- landers loud and clear that our best self is our rich history, our spunk, and our imagination.
