ABSTRACT A STRATEGY FOR REVITALIZATION AND GROWTH OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH IN ICELAND by Jorgen Eric Gudmundsson Adviser: Douglas Robert Kilcher ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: A STRATEGY FOR REVITALIZATION AND GROWTH OF THE SEVENTH- DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH IN ICELAND Name of researcher: Jorgen Eric Gudmundsson Name and degree of adviser: Douglas Robert Kilcher, D.Min. Date completed: May 2006 The Topic This dissertation analyzes the growth pattern of the Adventist church in Iceland from its inception about a hundred years ago to the present and presents an objective portrayal of the future possibilities of church growth on the island and develops a practical strategy of revitalization of the church. The Purpose The proposed strategy presented in this project aims at increasing the quality of life of the Icelandic Adventist churches, raising their self-identity and sense of mission, and strengthening their ability to reach the community and to grow. The Sources A Biblical theological rationale for this program is set forth as well as an overview of the counsel of Ellen G. White for its accomplishment. A review of literature of main sources on church growth and revitalization is presented with principal emphasis on the School of Church Growth, spearheaded by Donald McGavran and his associates, and literature on recent developments and responses of churches to the change in the philosophical environment in a postmodern era is also reviewed. The historical analysis of the growth pattern of the Adventist Church in Iceland from its inception to the present is based on church membership records, minutes of the conference executive committee, reports from conference constituency meetings and on two unpublished Seminary papers prepared on early history of Adventism in Iceland and a D. Min. dissertation on Adventist church growth in Iceland from 1950 to 1980. Further, the future model strategy for the revitalization and growth of the work among the above churches is based on that of the Natural Church Development by Christian A. Schwarz and associates who have successfully constructed a valid evaluating instrument and quality index applicable to churches using world wide survey data as a reference. Conclusion In view of the present less than ideally functioning local Adventist congregations in Iceland with respect to local leadership and lay evangelism, a renewal of their vision is of paramount importance. They are in need of a change of operational paradigm from that of settled pastors in churches and minimal involvement in evangelism and must alter their present perception of the impossibility of success in outreach. They need to learn from the strengths of the early program of the church to visibly identify with society and to engage in an authentic contribution to its well-being and to conduct a vigorous, church based program of evangelism and outreach. They must also shun its weaknesses which were lack of lay involvement and training and a relegating of primary care of members as well as evangelism and outreach almost solely to the pastoral staff which contributed to its stagnation and later decline.

Der Dodo war ein großer, ugunfähiger Vogel, der 1599 von den Europäern auf der Insel Mauritius entdeckt wurde. Von da an wurde diese Spezies gejagt und nur 94 Jahre später, 1693, wurde der Dodo als ausgeroet erklärt. Um anderen Tieren dieses Schicksal zu ersparen, wurde 1963 von Gerald Durrell der „Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust” gegründet. Hauptsitz dieser Organisation ist der Zoo von Jersey, wo bedrohte Tierarten gezüchtet werden, um sie später in ihrer Heimat in Freiheit zu setzen. Der Dodo ist das Logo dieses besonderen Zoos und eben auch von Dodotours, weil wir von dieser Idee sehr angetan waren! 2 FÄRÖER INSELN Naturparadies Färöer Inseln Unser Geheimtipp für alle Naturfreaks: Besuchen Sie die Färöer Inseln, „die schönste und lohnendste Inselgruppe der Welt, unberührt vom Massentourismus“ laut National Geographic.

    Hugvísindasvið Stríð, stolt, sorg og sprengja Brot úr sögu íslenskra áfallaminnismerkja Ritgerð til MA-prófs í almennri bókmenntafræði Ketill Kristinsson Maí 2013 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Almenn bókmenntafræði Stríð, stolt, sorg og sprengja Brot úr sögu íslenskra áfallaminnismerkja Ritgerð til MA-prófs í almennri bókmenntafræði Ketill Kristinsson Kt.: 050782-4259 Leiðbeinandi: Gunnþórunn Guðmundsdóttir Maí 2013 Útdráttur Í þessari ritgerð er fjallað um minnismerki á Íslandi sem snúa að samfélagslegum áföllum, út frá kenningum um minnismerki og sameiginlegt minni. Þegar orðræða um áfallaminnis- merki hófst hér á landi, á þriðja og fjórða áratug tuttugustu aldar, var því gjarnan haldið fram að þjóðin reisti ekki minnismerki vegna þess að hún kærði sig ekki um að muna og var einatt vísað til annarra þjóða sem heiðruðu minningu fallinna til samanburðar. Íslendingar reistu fyrstu áfallaminnismerkin undir lok fjórða áratugarins og þá um drukknaða sjómenn. Hefðin er sýnilega innflutt og er sjómönnunum þráfaldlega lýst sem hermönnum er haldi vörð um Ísland og Íslendinga. Þannig voru látnir sjómenn gerðir að þjóðareign, engu síður en fallnir hermenn, með tilheyrandi þjóðernishyggju sem átti það til að keyra úr hófi, fyrst í orðræðunni um minnismerkin og seinna í myndmáli minnismerkjanna sjálfra. Í ritgerðinni er saga íslenskra áfallaminnismerkja rakin í grófum dráttum. Meðal annars er bent á að stóraukinn fjöldi minnismerkja undir lok tuttugustu aldar er nátengdur kenningum um að nútíminn sé þjakaður af gleymsku, um leið og hann er sjúkur í, eða af, minni. Tiltölulega fá minnismerki risu fyrstu áratugina og flest þeirra viðamikil en eftir 1980 hefur minnismerkjum fjölgað gríðarlega og inntak þeirra breyst. Í dag rísa mörg minnismerki á ári um samfélagsleg áföll, þau eru almennt einfaldari en áður og krefjast minni undirbúningsvinnu.
