Joining the Resistance is voluntary, but they always do. We have a family structure here.” -unnamed medic, Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti’s The Resistance If Boston is the political and financial capital of the Lifer nation, than its military heart is located in a forgotten corner of Alaskan wilderness. Like Aradia, Kodiak Island was once a federal preserve until it was purchased and repurposed by the emerging pseudo-nation. While Aradia is host to diplomats and theologians from across Earthspace, its Lifer counterpart is a heavily fortified secret. In many ways, Kodiak is one of the best kept secrets of a nation obsessed with them. The Coalition for Life acquired the massive preserve early in its history, though exactly when is a subject for much debate. Ownership and land transfer records are intentionally confused, and the island’s true history is mired in a Gordian knot of dummySample file corporations, false trails and misinformation. Some records indicate that the former federal preserve left government control sometime their families live and work at the Refuge, during the first George W.

  • Rock Weekend
    Achim Schäffer Rock Weekend Leseprobe Billy Joel: Uptown Girl Meine Kindheitswelt in Waghäusel war klein und übersichtlich. So alle 2-3 Jahre bekam unsere Familie weiteren Zuwachs, ehe wir ab 1977 komplett waren. Vier Geschwister, drei Jungen, ein Mädchen. Ab 1978 leisteten wir uns einen jährlichen Sommerurlaub in Ungarn. Ungarn. Die Heimat meiner Großeltern. Die Vorfahren sind vermutlich um 1785 nach Ungarn ausgewandert. Donauschwaben. Die zwischen Donau und Neckar, auf der Schwäbischen Alb liegenden Dörfer litten damals unter Verheerungen der andauernden Kriegszüge. Auch das Anerbrecht (Ahnenerbe) – welches ein Kind als Alleinerben vorsieht – trug dazu bei, dass für viele Dorfbewohner die Auswanderung als einziger Ausweg übrigblieb. Die verlockenden Angebote des Ansiedlungspatents: Völlige Glaubensfreiheit, Haus, Feld und die dazugehörenden Wirtschaftsgeräte wie Zuchttiere. Für Handwerker 50 Gulden zur Einrichtung ihrer Werkstatt und vor allem die 10- jährige Steuer- und Abgabenfreiheit stimmten die letzten Zweifelnden positiv. Und so siedelten sie sich im Dorf Kirwa (Mariahalom), ca. 40 Kilometer nordöstlich vor Budapest an und arbeiteten. Sie betrieben überwiegend Landwirtschaft und bildeten kleine deutsche Enklaven im Österreich-Ungarischen Reich. Arm, aber nicht unglücklich. Altdeutsche Traditionen und Gewohnheiten überlebten wie die Sprache, wie die Menschen. Im 2. Weltkrieg kämpfte mein Opa für Ungarn in Russland. Sicherlich wichtig! Das kostete ihn ein kugelgroßes Loch im Zeh, aber noch schmerzhafter: Der Krieg kostete ihn seine Heimat. Wer deutsche Wurzeln hatte, sollte den neuen politischen Warschauer Pakt verlassen. Vertreibung. Flucht. Also musste die Familie Schäffer im April 1946 mit ihren bald drei kleinen Kindern – mein Vater ist 1947 geboren – von vorne beginnen. In Deutschland. In einem Land, einer Umgebung, unter Menschen, denen 12 Jahre lang einindoktriniert worden war, dass alles Fremde schlecht ist.

  • A Sociological Analysis of Christian Contemporary Music and Aural Piety
    “FAITH COMES BY HEARING”: A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF CHRISTIAN CONTEMPORARY MUSIC AND AURAL PIETY __________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board __________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Courtney Sorrell Tepera August 2017 Examining Committee Members: Lucy Bregman, Advisory Chair, TU Department of Religion Terry Rey, TU Department of Religion David Harrington Watt, TU Department of History Dustin Kidd, External Member, TU Department of Sociology © Copyright 2017 by Courtney Suzanne Sorrell Tepera ____________________________ All rights reserved iii ABSTRACT Over the past fifty years, Christian contemporary music has joined hymnody and psalmody as a major form of evangelical liturgical and devotional song. While the production and content of this genre have been explored by scholars, few studies have attended to the devotional use of the genre and its role in shaping the religious lives of American evangelicals. This project draws from several sets of data to address this matter: analysis of church-created worship music albums, listener testimonials on Christian radio websites, and focus group interviews of laity and clergy at four South Carolina churches. The data revealed that music is significant to their religious lives outside of church as a means of encountering God, managing emotions, and displaying spiritual capital. Inside churches, the music is used to create a sense of corporate identity that reinforces social bonds within the community and attracts newcomers. Drawing on the methodological framework of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice and his work on social distinction, I argue that American evangelicals who listen to Christian contemporary music are engaged in aural piety, a set of practices, attitudes, and ideas invested in music that structure and evoke the experience of the sacred.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

My thanks firstly to my parents, who taught me to read, love and respect the Bible, and who encouraged me to ask questions. Secondly to Don Gillman, who started to tease out more questions by challenging everything I thought I knew, and taught me to read and re-read and keep on reading; the sudden loss of his life during the early stages of this thesis robbed me of a close friend, important conversation partner and Bible teacher extraordinaire, but his dedication to searching the scriptures continues to inspire my own unending re-reading.
