Young Enos wrote: “I will tell you of the wrestle which I had before God, before I received a remission of my sins. My soul hungered; and I kneeled down before my Maker, and I cried unto him in mighty prayer and supplication for mine own soul; and all the day long did I cry unto him” (Enos 2, 4).

DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Correctional Education; *Correctional Institutions; Correctional Rehabilitation; Criminals; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; Postsecondary Education; Prisoners; Prison Libraries; Rehabilitation Programs; Secondary Education; Vocational Rehabilitation IDENTIFIERS *England; *Wales ABSTRACT In response to prison disturbances in England and Wales in the late 1980s, the education program for prisoners was improved and more prisoners were given access to educational services. Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills.

(Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2017) and Style Guide for Editors and Writers, 5th ed. (Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2013). This style guide summarizes the main principles in the other style guides and lists a few exceptions to their guidelines. Formatting 1. Use double-spacing throughout the manuscript and the endnotes. Use one-inch margins, and insert page numbers at the bottom of the page. Use a Times New Roman 12-point font for both the body of the manuscript and the notes. Use only one space after periods. 2. If you have images, add captions and courtesy lines (such as courtesy of Church History Library, Salt Lake City) to the Word file. However, do not insert images in the Word files; submit them separately. Images should be 300 dpi or better (TIFF or JPG files). File names and captions should match (Fig. 1.1 = chapter 1, figure 1). Headings 3. Update: Include headings to break up the text. First-Level Headings First-level headings should be flush left and bolded, as in the example above. Capitalize internal words except for articles (a, an, and the), conjunctions (and, but, or, for, so, and yet), prepositions, and the word to in infinitive phrases. Second-Level Headings Second-level headings should be flush left and italicized. Capitalize like first-level headings. Third-level headings. Third-level headings should be italicized, followed by a period, and run in to the text; capitalization should be handled sentence-style (capitalize the first word and proper nouns).

  • The Chronicle Charnock Richard
    The Chronicle Charnock Richard The Magazine of Christ Church Charnock Richard December / January 2018 FROM FATHER ANDREW My Dear Friends, As Christmas approaches and everyone feels a little more charitable, I am reminded that a couple of years ago the Archbishop of Canterbury warned vicars against filling their sermons with “moral claptrap” about being “a bit nicer” to everyone. The Most Revd Justin Welby said religion should never be reduced simply to a code of morality instead of an active faith in which people are willing to “get [their] hands dirty”. If that was not enough of a shock to the system the Archbishop went on to say that the message of Christianity was so radical that it could be mistaken for a call to “violent revolution”, were it not for its emphasis on peaceful means. Many people may be disturbed to hear the most senior priest in the Church of England suggesting that many vicars talk moral claptrap! Herein is a problem between the gentle religion that many of us were brought up on and what is currently being taught in the church’s training colleges. Even as late as the second part of the 20th Century most hymns were heavily influenced by the romanticism of Victorian hymn writers who encouraged a belief that all things were bright and beautiful, and there is actually a green hill far away. In reality the horrors of war in the last century, not to mention the scandals of crimes committed against children when in the care of the church or entertainment organisations have put pay to the myth that all things are indeed bright and beautiful, the world being full of some very dark places and events, whilst the place where our Lord died was not a chocolate box picture of the idyllic English Countryside but a dry and arid mound on the edge of the city, not to mention that he was born in poverty.

  • This Entry Has Nothing to Do with God
    Blog Export: Please God No, http://www.pleasegodno.com/ Friday, August 10. 2007 Mormons are completely fucking retarded. Mormons... Dumb. Joseph Smith was the only one of Jesus' disciples to get shot in the face with a gun. Of all religions, I would have to say the Mormonism is the most delusionally retarded. The fact that we have a presidential candidate that believes this crap is almost as offensive as our current president that believes this crap. I have respect for most people's religious views. Catholics, Baptists, Jews, and even Pastafarians. But Mormonism is just outright ridiculous. One of the scariest things about Mormons, is that they have the capacity to believe anything... No matter how insanely and comically unsensical. "(The book of Mormon) was done in a space of three months, using scribes while Smith translated (from golden plates) from behind a curtain." If the level of sophistication required to brainwash millions of people into a religion was displayed by Smith, we all have the capacity to start a religion. After all, there must be a group of people in the world that would tithe to a religion that was rooted in a story of a guy like me, sitting in my bathroom with a black light, reading my wall splattered feces like a Rorschach Inkblot Test. Just as logical, and just as ridiculous. Posted by TK (Admin) at 00:40 Complete friggin retards. At least christianity is based on multiple accounts, but this is completely mormonic, i mean moronic. This dude Smith finds these gold plates only he can read (Clue 1 that he's a con).

Enquiries 13 Introduction A local charity is seeking a talented and ambitious architect to develop ideas for a new Mosque on the northern outskirts of Preston, Lancashire. The design solution should be of the highest quality, both enduring and at the same time modern and reflective of current trends. As such, the design team should seek to create a landmark building. Examples of landmark buildings of worship in the local area include: • Preston England Temple in Chorley, Lancashire – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints • Fairhaven United Reformed Church in Lytham St Annes • Church of St Walburge’s in Preston – boasts the third tallest spire in the country Location The site for the proposed Mosque is at the western end of D’Urton Lane on the northern edge of the City of Preston. The site has been cut off by the recent completion of the Broughton bypass alongside the junction of the M55 and M6 and as such sits in a particularly prominent and elevated location.

  • Tom Phillips Second Anointing
    MY SECOND ANOINTING EXPERIENCE TOM PHILLIPS JANUARY 21, 2008 There already exist sources of details of the second anointing and I probably will not add to that body of knowledge. However, I am posting this account to confirm the ordinance does actually take place currently, as I have received the ordinance, and how it is currently performed. I state the names of the Apostle and Seventy involved as well as the date and actual temple so that the credibility cannot be questioned. CONTENTS INVITATION PREPARATION – THE DAY ITSELF – WHAT HAPPENED AT THE TEMPLE FEELINGS AFTERWARDS NOMINATING OTHERS FOR THE ORDINANCE AFTERMATH Reformatted Colorized Version December 30, 2013 Page | 2 INVITATION In April 2002 Elder Harold G. Hillam of the First Quorum of Seventy, as President of the Europe West Area, called me into his office. He said he was extending to me and my wife (she was not present), on behalf of President Hinckley, an invitation to receive a “special blessing” in the Preston England Temple. He asked whether I had heard of the “second endowment” to which I replied no. I later told him that I had heard of it, but was so stunned by his invitation my mind went blank regarding the matter. He told me very few people receive this blessing and it must be kept secret. He said if the general membership knew about it there would be problems. More would want to receive the ordinance than the apostles have time to accommodate and members would wonder why so and so had received it but they had not.
