  • The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic
    The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Dear Readers, The publication on the Ro- man Catholic Church which you are holding in your hands may strike you as history that belongs in a museum. How- ever, if you leaf through it and look around our beauti- ful country, you may discover that it belongs to the present as well. Many changes have taken place. The history of the Church in this country is also the history of this nation. And the history of the nation, of the country’s inhabitants, always has been and still is the history of the Church. The Church’s mission is to serve mankind, and we want to fulfil Jesus’s call: “I did not come to be served but to serve.” The beautiful and unique pastoral constitution of Vatican Coun- cil II, the document “Joy and Hope” begins with the words: “The joys and the hopes, the grief and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the grief and anxieties of the followers of Christ.” This is the task that hundreds of thousands of men and women in this country strive to carry out. According to expert statistical estimates, approximately three million Roman Catholics live in our country along with almost twenty thousand of our Eastern broth- ers and sisters in the Greek Catholic Church, with whom we are in full communion. There are an additional million Christians who belong to a variety of other Churches. Ecumenical cooperation, which was strengthened by decades of persecution and bullying of the Church, is flourishing remarkably in this country.

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

Indeed He Is Risen! 1ooth Anniversary of St. Tikhon’s Monastery Plan now to organize a bus from your parish or group PASCHA Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen! 2005 To the Very Reverend and Reverend Clergy, Monastics, and Faithful of the Orthodox Church in America: Dearly Beloved in the Lord, nce again, we greet one another with these joyous words, words that not only embody the essence of our Paschal celebration, but embody the very essence of our faith and Ohope in the love of Our Lord. Central to our faith are the words of Saint Paul: “If Christ is not risen, our preaching is in vain and your faith is also in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:14). Having desired to reconcile all creation to its Creator, the only-begotten Son of God took on our human fl esh. He entered human history, time, and space, as one of us. He came not to be served but, rather, to serve. And in so doing, He revealed that God “is not the God of the dead, but of the living” (Matthew 22:32), the God Who desired the renewal and transformation of His people and all creation with such intensity that He was willing to die, that life might reign. By His death and resurrection, He led us into a new promised land, one in which there is no sickness, sorrow, nor sighing, but life everlasting.

  • And Type the TITLE of YOUR WORK in All Caps
    IN TWITTER AND WIKIPEDIA WE TRUST?: ONLINE INFORMATION AND THE CRISIS OF CREDIBILITY by KRISTEN M. HEFLIN (Under the Direction of James F. Hamilton) ABSTRACT Journalism is currently experiencing a severe crisis of credibility, and the Internet is often celebrated as a response to this crisis. Drawing from a historical-cultural analysis, this dissertation begins by historicizing the crisis of credibility in journalism and the development of the Internet as a decentralized network to provide the context necessary to better understand the expectations, practices and issues related to online information and the crisis of credibility. It then discusses the Internet‘s inability to serve as the solution to this crisis as being rooted in the contradiction between deliberation and verification, two values at the heart of journalistic practice, liberal democratic media theory and ultimately Western epistemology. Through analyses of popular and trade press evaluations of Wikipedia and Twitter this dissertation discusses the irreconcilable nature of these values and the ways journalists try, unsuccessfully, to reconcile these two values. Despite its promise, the Internet is not the solution to this crisis of credibility because online sources (such as Wikipedia) and non-professional contributions (such as those on Twitter) have been largely accommodated within traditional journalistic routines, professional norms and reigning conceptions of producing authoritative knowledge. Thus, journalists‘ use of Wikipedia and Twitter perpetuate the contradictions at the heart of journalism practice and traditional Western epistemology, which are the same instabilities that produce the present crisis in credibility. As such, this dissertation reveals that the crisis of credibility is not a technological one, but a cultural one about the inadequacy of liberal democratic media theory.

(Whereupon, a moment of silence was observed.) Visitors are invited to join the members in the Pledge of Allegiance. (Whereupon, Acting Speaker Aubry led visitors and members in the Pledge of Allegiance.) A quorum being present, the Clerk will read the Journal of Monday, April 20th. Mr. Morelle MR.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: Without objection, so ordered. Mr. Morelle. MR. MORELLE: Yes. Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker; good afternoon, colleagues. I hope everyone enjoyed a brief respite and are anxious to get back to work here and continue our work. Before I announce our schedule for the day, let me just note a couple of historical facts about this date, April 21st, in history. For instance, Mr. Speaker, colleagues, you might find interesting that on this day in 1789, one of our nation's Founding Fathers, John Adams, was sworn in at New York City's Federal Hall as our nation's first Vice President. After serving two terms, Mr. Adams went on to serve as the second President of the United States and continued to contribute to our nation's history as a statesman. On this date in 1965, the New York City World's Fair opened in New York for its second and final season.
