In 1993 his statistics show thirty-seven Protestant missionaries from Austria working in foreign countries or one for every 10,800 Protestants.2 Even if this is an encouraging increase in the nurnber of missionaries from Austria, it is still true that "too

  • Kyle Maclachlan
    KYLE MACLACHLAN ACCLAIMED ACTOR KYLE MACLACHLAN has brought indelible charm and a quirky sophistication to some of film and television’s most memorable roles. Since 2005, MacLachlan has channeled his strong interest in the world of wine into a second, equally satisfying professional pursuit. A native of Yaki- ma, Wash., located in the heart of the Columbia Valley wine appellation MacLachlan has produced three highly-rated Columbia Valley wines: Pursued by Bear Cabernet Sauvignon, Baby Bear Syrah and his most recent, Blushing Bear Rosé. What began as an unabashed love for his home state and a desire to stay connected to his family roots has become a true passion and dedication to the craft of winemaking. MacLachlan has be- come an advocate and evangelist for the unique properties and flavor profile of Washington state wines. He is personally involved in every aspect of Pursued by Bear wines. MacLachlan sees a connection between acting and winemaking in terms of the combination and balance of process, patience and creativity. He chose to call his wine Pursued by Bear as an homage to perhaps the most famous of all stage directions, “exit, pursued by bear,” from Act III, scene iii of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale. It’s a funny and unexpected phrase that’s not only a nod to his theatrical roots but also plays to his sense of humor. “It just seemed to fit what I was trying to do,” he said. MacLachlan is perhaps best known for his performance as FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper in David Lynch’s ground-breaking series Twin Peaks, for which he received two Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe Award.

  • The Secret of the Strength What Would the Anabaptists Tell This Generation?
    The Secret of the Strength What Would the Anabaptists Tell This Generation? Peter Hoover This is the 2008 version of the text, with the original introduction, forward, cover picture, etc. The text has been revised, but is substantially the same as the original text, with the addition of pictures. Other inspiring books are available at: www.PrimitiveChristianity.org Introduction I well remember the first time I faced the stark realization that I was a Mennonite and different. My fourth-grade friend, Gregory, and I were riding home from public school on the bus. We were talking about our future, how we would always be friends and do things together when we grew up. Then he enthusiastically began to describe activities that from my upbringing I knew to be worldly. Desperate to save our lifelong friendship, I turned to Gregory and said, “You will have to leave your church and become a Mennonite when you grow up.” Thus, the inevitability of our way of life impressed itself on my eight-year-old mind. A year later I made my decision to follow Christ. Of course, Gregory never joined my church, and I do not even know his whereabouts today. The theme of separation from the world ran strong in the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania where I grew up. But I wrongly assumed that, except for our plainness, we believed the same things that other Christians believed. Then one evening at the Chambersburg Mennonite Church, where I was a member, a visiting speaker jolted me with a graphic picture of my martyr heritage.

  • SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA WAIDHOFEN an DER YBBS an Orchestra with Tradition and Enthusiasm
    SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA WAIDHOFEN AN DER YBBS An Orchestra with tradition and enthusiasm Waidhofen/Ybbs is a little town in Lower Austria with a rich diversity in cultural and musical life. The town is well-known for its local music school and a long-standing tradition in orchestra playing. The symphony orchestra “Kammerorchester Waidhofen an der Ybbs”, registered society since 1973, plays an important role in the cultural life of the region and has three to four concert projects a year. Every autumn the orchestra plays a concert together with the local choir Cantores Dei, every second year a series of New Year's Concerts in the tradition of the famous Viennese New Year's Concert. One central concern of the ensemble is to be a platform for young gifted musicians. Thus many musi- cians who later on got engagements with professional orchestras gained their first experience in or- chestra playing at the Kammerorchester Waidhofen/Ybbs. The most famous among these is Prof. Rainer Küchl, former leader of the Wiener Philharmoniker, who has also performed a lot of violin con- certs together with this orchestra. Furthermore the ensemble has already played with well-known musicians like Stefan Vladar, Christopher Hinterhuber, Paul Gulda, Tamás Varga, Ernst Ottensamer or Ludwig Streicher and went on tour to countries like Italy, Germany, Croatia, Madeira, China or Iran. The repertory of the orchestra covers a broad range of styles, from baroque to contemporary music. What is really special is the arrangement of the ensemble – a mixture of people of various kinds of age and professions - playing music in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

  • Anna Maria Skarke
    EXPLORATORY ANALYSES OF THE 1966-1971 AUSTRIAN MIGRATION TABLE Ross D. MacKinnon Anna Maria Skarke September 1975 Research Reports are publications reporting on the work of the authors. Any views or conclusions are those of the authors, and do not necessarily reflect those of IIASA. Abstract Four different techniques of a rather simple type are used to analyze recent interregional migration flows in Austria. Purely descriptive methods are used to reduce the large data set to proportions which facilitate interpretation. Ptethods of Markov and matrix growth operator type are used to project future spatial redistribution of popula- tion arising from both migration and differences in the rates of natural increase. A least squares approach is used to measure the attractiveness and emissiveness of regions based on a revealed pref- erence rationale. Finally, the biproportional economic input-output and transportation origin- destination tables are used to generate the most plausible changes in migration propensities which would give rise to a specified target population distribution. Acknowledsements The Canada Council's financial support of MacKinnon in the form of a leave fellowship is gratefully acknow- ledged. Waldo Tobler made available his computer pro- grams and made helpful comments on many aspects of the study. Peter Skarke assisted us in some of the compu- tations. William Berentsen, working on the related problem of regional development policy in Austria, made some useful suggestions. The migration data were made available by Plr. ads tatter of the Statistische Zentral- amt. Thanks are due to Helmut Frey who prepared the graphics. Ann Drew did the typing and good humouredly made revisions to several versions of the "final" draft.

  • A Study of Early Anabaptism As Minority Religion in German Fiction
    Heresy or Ideal Society? A Study of Early Anabaptism as Minority Religion in German Fiction DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ursula Berit Jany Graduate Program in Germanic Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Barbara Becker-Cantarino, Advisor Professor Katra A. Byram Professor Anna Grotans Copyright by Ursula Berit Jany 2013 Abstract Anabaptism, a radical reform movement originating during the sixteenth-century European Reformation, sought to attain discipleship to Christ by a separation from the religious and worldly powers of early modern society. In my critical reading of the movement’s representations in German fiction dating from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, I explore how authors have fictionalized the religious minority, its commitment to particular theological and ethical aspects, its separation from society, and its experience of persecution. As part of my analysis, I trace the early historical development of the group and take inventory of its chief characteristics to observe which of these aspects are selected for portrayal in fictional texts. Within this research framework, my study investigates which social and religious principles drawn from historical accounts and sources influence the minority’s image as an ideal society, on the one hand, and its stigmatization as a heretical and seditious sect, on the other. As a result of this analysis, my study reveals authors’ underlying programmatic aims and ideological convictions cloaked by their literary articulations of conflict-laden encounters between society and the religious minority.

  • Review and Discussion Recent Studies on Anabaptist Spirituality
    Review and discussion Recent studies on Anabaptist spirituality John J. Friesen, Professor of History and Theology Canadian Mennonite Bible College T he recent interest in spirituality has resulted in a number of publications that focus on the spirituality of sixteenth-century Anabaptists. This review article looks at three books, produced to serve different purposes, all published in 1994 and 1995. Marlene Kropf and Eddy Hall. Praying with the Anabaptists, The Secret of Bearing Fruit. Newton and Winnipeg: Faith & Life, 1994. Cornelius J. Dyck, trans. and ed. Spiritual Life in Anabaptism: Classic Devotional Resources. Scottdale: Herald Pr., 1995. Daniel Liechty, trans. and ed. Early Anabaptist Spirituality: Selected Writings. New York: Paulist Pr., 1994. Praying with the Anabaptists, by Marlene Kropf and Eddy Hall, was commissioned by a joint Mennonite Church and General Conference Mennonite Church committee. The aim was to produce a book that would promote prayer and spiritual growth. The book “revisits the writings of the sixteenth-century martyrs and leaders of the Anabaptist movement to discover time-honored and yet refreshing ways to deepen our practice of prayer” (5). The book is divided into three sections: “Abiding in the Vine,” “Joined in Love,” and “Bearing Fruit.” The intent of “Abiding in the Vine” is to help people through personal prayer and devotion come into intimate and personal relationship to God. “Joined in Love” looks at the fruits of prayer, and focuses on aspects of relating to other people in building community, service, and mission. “Bearing Fruit” deals with further fruits of prayer, specifically service, peacemaking, and witness. In the authors’ view, spirituality, including Anabaptist spirituality, begins with a deeply personal prayer relationship to God, and proceeds into community, service, mission, and ethics.
