  • 8 My Heart Became Deeply Motivated to Study the Growing Trend Of
    8 CHAPTER 1 PASTORAL ATTRITION AND PERSONAL MOTIVATION My heart became deeply motivated to study the growing trend of pastoral attrition after my church, my family, and I experienced a unique set of trials and a period of adversity that stretched into a five-year roller coaster of difficulties. It was cathartic to embark on this study—as difficult as the subject matter is—in view of my personal experience. Now I invite you to join me. As we study the reasons for pastoral attrition, we will hear, repeatedly, the oft-cited reason for collapse or quitting: “ministry pressure.” This is certainly a source of stress and difficulty, but it is not a credible reason for leaving the ministry. God’s grace is sufficient to carry us through the most difficult of circumstances. he spiritual giants profiled in chapter 6 prove that God’s promises can be counted on regardless of the arduous task of our ministries. My personal experience is another reminder of how the Lord can sustain and even open larger doors of ministry service through what is perceived as the worst disappointments. It is this personal motivation that prompted me to include here the details of my own ministry challenge along with the honest recommendations that spring from what I learned. There is no specific seminary course that covered the tumultuous terrain I found myself in as I labored to build a church for Jesus Christ.Acadia Divinity College’s Doctor of Ministry Handbook clarifies exactly what the D. Min. degree is. In addition to being a professional, advanced, and practical degree, it is also an integrated degree.

    A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT/CEO & CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD As we look back on the year that was 2012, Kansas Children’s Service League (KCSL) set forth on a journey to define the most important thing we can do to achieve our mission, “To Protect and Promote the Well-Being of Children” now and into the future.

    Case 6:03-cv-01353-JTM Document 456 Filed 04/18/2006 Page 1 of 39 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS AID FOR WOMEN, et al., Plaintiffs, vs. Case No. 03-1353-JTM NOLA FOULSTON, et al., Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER This matter comes before the court on plaintiffs’ action for declaratory and injunctive relief. Plaintiffs seek to prevent enforcement of Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline’s application of the state mandatory reporting statute, through an Attorney General’s Opinion,1 to consensual underage sexual activity.2 Specifically, as filed, this case turns on whether Kan. Stat. Ann. § 38-1522, commonly referred to as the “Kansas reporting statute,” requires reporting of all consensual underage sexual activity as sexual abuse. 1Kansas Att’y Gen. Op. No. 2003-17, 2003 WL 21492493 (June 18, 2003), hereinafter “Kline Opinion.” See infra pp.8-9. 2As the phrase “consensual underage sexual activity” appears in this opinion, “consensual” means: 1) no coercion was involved; 2) no appreciable power differential existed between partners; and 3) the age difference between partners is no more than three years. “Underage” means neither of the persons involved is younger than twelve years of age and that at least one of the persons is under the age of sixteen. “Sexual activity” includes: penile-vaginal intercourse, oral sex, anal sex, and touching of another’s genitalia by either sex. Case 6:03-cv-01353-JTM Document 456 Filed 04/18/2006 Page 2 of 39 The court heard approximately seven days of testimony in a bench trial commencing January 30, 2006.

  • Jim Cates DEDICATION - 2014
    Everyone has a story by Jim Cates DEDICATION - 2014 - My life has been blessed by so many people that I would like to thank for being so important to me. It would be impossible to acknowledge every- one who has touched me, so I will mention a few … More than 30 years with a woman who blessed me with two wonder- ful kids and two fantastic grandkids. Also a woman who had faith that I could succeed far beyond my wildest dreams. Accomplishments would be credited to this special person. My thanks to Jane for all of the good times. Jim and Dorothy Cates gave me a good foundation. They taught me the importance of financial resposibility, a strong work ethic, and the differ- ence between right and wrong. There were many times I wouldn’t have re- ceived a passing grade, but I always had a strong foundation to return to. Jane and Oscar Benson, Jane’s parents, were two people who were as close to being Ward and June Cleaver as anyone I ever knew. I learned the true meaning of family from the Bensons. Matt, Meri Jane, Ryan Matthew, and Jesse James Cates. Two more genera- tions of Cateses, each of whom I’m so proud ... The kids have some of their mother’s and grandparents’ qualities, which means they’ll be fine. Matt has the political gene and is entering a new phase in his life, just completing his master’s degree in history. Meri Jane is the family historian, balancing time being a working wife, mother, and family genealogist.

    Kathleen Sebelius, governor of Kansas, 2003-2009. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 40 (Winter 2017–2018): 262-289 262 Kansas History “Find a Way to Find Common Ground”: A Conversation with Former Governor Kathleen Sebelius edited by Bob Beatty and Linsey Moddelmog athleen Mary (Gilligan) Sebelius, born May 15, 1948, in Cincinnati, Ohio, served as the State of Kansas’s forty-fourth chief executive from January 13, 2003, to April 28, 2009, when she resigned to serve in President Barack Obama’s cabinet as secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Sebelius rose to the governorship after serving in the Kansas House of Representatives from 1987 to 1995 and serving two terms as Kansas insurance commissioner from 1995 to 2003. She was the first insurance commissioner from the Democratic Party in Kansas history, defeating Republican Kincumbent Ron Todd in 1994, 58.6 percent to 41.4 percent. She ran for reelection in 1998 and easily defeated Republican challenger Bryan Riley, 59.9 to 40.1 percent. In the 2002 gubernatorial race, Sebelius defeated Republican state treasurer Tim Shallenburger, 52.9 to 45.1 percent. She won reelection in 2006 by a vote of 57.9 to 40.4 percent against her Republican challenger, state senator Jim Barnett.1 Sebelius never lost an election to public office in Kansas.2 Sebelius’s 2002 gubernatorial victory marked the first and only father-daughter pair to serve as governors in the United States. Her father, John Gilligan, was Democratic governor of Ohio from 1971 to 1975. Sebelius’s gubernatorial leadership style was one of bipartisanship, as her Democratic Party was always in the minority in the state legislature.

General Stovall is to be commended, as is her staff, for accomplishing the goals which she set for the Division. In year 2003, under my watch, the goals and managerial priorities of the Division have changed. The Division has rededicated itself to the all-important task of confronting deceptive, unconscionable and/or anti-competitive business practices which affect the Kansas marketplace. The Division has instituted many new standard operating procedures. These written procedures serve to prioritize the Division's workload. They also serve to guard the mission of the Consumer Protection / Antitrust Division, limiting its intervention in the Kansas marketplace to situations in which credible allegations of jurisdiction-granting acts are present. It is significant that this Division has now dedicated itself to acting, first and foremost, to remedy violations of the law that affect the most vulnerable citizens of Kansas. This managerial system was realized through the launching of the Vulnerable Adults Task Force ("VATF").
