  • Twisted Trails of the Wold West by Matthew Baugh © 2006
    Twisted Trails of the Wold West By Matthew Baugh © 2006 The Old West was an interesting place, and even more so in the Wold- Newton Universe. Until fairly recently only a few of the heroes and villains who inhabited the early western United States had been confirmed through crossover stories as existing in the WNU. Several comic book miniseries have done a lot to change this, and though there are some problems fitting each into the tapestry of the WNU, it has been worth the effort. Marvel Comics’ miniseries, Rawhide Kid: Slap Leather was a humorous storyline, parodying the Kid’s established image and lampooning westerns in general. It is best known for ‘outing’ the Kid as a homosexual. While that assertion remains an open issue with fans, it isn’t what causes the problems with incorporating the story into the WNU. What is of more concern are the blatant anachronisms and impossibilities the story offers. We can accept it, but only with the caveat that some of the details have been distorted for comic effect. When the Rawhide Kid is established as a character in the Wold-Newton Universe he provides links to a number of other western characters, both from the Marvel Universe and from classic western novels and movies. It draws in the Marvel Comics series’ Blaze of Glory, Apache Skies, and Sunset Riders as wall as DC Comics’ The Kents. As with most Marvel and DC characters there is the problem with bringing in the mammoth superhero continuities of the Marvel and DC universes, though this is not insurmountable.

  • A Call to Excellence: Leadership Training and Mentoring Manual for Women in Ministry in the Twenty-First Century
    Liberty University School of Divinity A CALL TO EXCELLENCE: LEADERSHIP TRAINING AND MENTORING MANUAL FOR WOMEN IN MINISTRY IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY A Thesis Project Submitted to The Faculty of Liberty University School of Divinity In Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Ministry by Verna Mazak Lynchburg, Virginia July 2016 Copyright © 2016 by Verna Mazak All rights reserved Liberty University School of Divinity Thesis Project Approval Sheet ______________________________ Dr. Charlie Davidson Director –Doctor of Ministry Program Mentor ______________________________ Dr. David W. Hirschman Associate Professor of Religion Reader iii ABSTRACT A CALL TO EXCELLENCE: LEADERSHIP TRAINING AND MENTORING MANUAL FOR WOMEN IN MINISTRY IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY Verna Mazak Liberty University School of Divinity, 2016 Mentor: Dr. Charlie Davidson The growth of women in leadership within the local church is at an all-time high. These women face tremendous obstacles as they seek to lead the twenty-first century church. This thesis investigates the role of African American women in the Black Baptist church to identify skills necessary for successful leadership within the denomination. Going beyond analysis and exploration, it answers the question of how to develop a training and mentorship program specifically designed to prepare African-American women for excellence in leadership. A survey of fifty church staff and members of various Black Baptist churches was conducted to determine the perspective and experiences of women in leadership. Interviews with three women serving as pastors within the Black Baptist church facilitated in the gathering of key data. This information was used to format a training and mentoring manual that effectively prepare African American women for leadership in the Black Baptist church.

    ABSTRACT DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES COLEMAN-CROSSFIELD, LATANGELA L. A.S. DEKALB COMMUNITY COLLEGE, 1987 B.A. BEULAH HEIGHTS BIBLE COLLEGE, 1998 M.A.C.E. CHARLES H. MASON SEMINARY, INTER- DENOMINATIONAL THEOLOGICAI, CENTER, 1999 THE IMPACT OF SEXISM ON AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN MINISTERS IN SELECTED BRANCHES OF METHODISM AS PERCEIVED BY CLERGYWOMEN: 1980-2000 Advisor: Josephine Bradley, Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2008 This study analyzed sexism as it was perceived by clergywomen within the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, and the United Methodist Church. Specifically, this research analyzed the impact of sexism on thirty African-American women ministers in Methodism between 1980-2000. This study was conducted using a case study analysis, which allowed the researcher to detect seven factors which impact the lives of women ministers in terms of: 1 (1) Women and/or men's opposition to female leadership in the Church, (2) Socio- political-theological systems, (3) Perception of inferiority, (4) Interpretation of scripture, (5) Slow ordination process or denial, (6) The appointment process and/or appointment to smaller churches, and (7) Lower clergy salaries. The conclusion drawn from these findings suggests that the social implications influencing sexism in the Church is primarily laced in traditionalism. The significance of this study advances the knowledge of sexism in the Church, and how sexism impacts the lives of women in the workplace in general, and African- American women ministers in particular. This study also advances the knowledge pertaining to clergywomen's perception of religious sexism and leadership in the Church. Therefore, it is a contribution to religious studies, African-American studies, humanities, church leaders as well as womanist studies.

Veterans of the fighting were returning home to pick up where they left off prior to four years of savage fighting. Of course, many of those who left home to join the conflict would not return. Others would return home with missing limbs and other wounds leaving them permanently disabled. Luckily, for the two subjects of this chapter, James Butler Hickok and Davis Tutt, they arrived in Springfield, Missouri after the war having both survived the war and escaped injury.

  • Doc Holliday V2
    Cold Open: “I’m your huckleberry.” If you haven’t seen Tombstone you should. Best Western ever. My favorite movie. And my favorite character from that movie is Doc Holliday. And I also thought that Holliday, portrayed by Kilmer, was heavily fictionalized by Hollywood. Turns out, maybe not nearly as much as I thought. John Henry Holiday, better known as Doc Holliday, was a Wild Western anomaly. He was a gambler, drunk, gunslinger, and quite possible a thief - BUT - he also an educated Southern dentist raised by well-to-do plantation owners. He was a complicated and fascinating man who we only know through the descriptions of those who knew him, some of whom liked him and admired him and others who despised and reviled him. This was a really fun story to suck into, so let’s head back to the Wild West - been awhile since we visited - today, on Timesuck. PAUSE TIMESUCK INTRO I. Welcome A. Happy Friday Bonus Suckers! Hail Nimrod! I’m Dan Cummins and this is Timesuck. Bonus episode 16. The 1600 review episode. Thanks for continuing to pour those reviews in, it means a ton. It helps this show so much. And thanks for voting for Doc Holiday last week on @timesuckpodcast on Instagram. Recording from the Suck Dungeon and lots going on. Sipping on some water and some coffee supplied by Timesucker Trent Tvrdy - thanks for hooking the suck dungeon up with a crazy coffee and water dispenser machine. FAN-CY. Love it Trent.
