    LIBERTY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY TRANSITIONS: SURVIVING CONGREGATIONAL CHANGE A Thesis Project Submitted to Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF MINISTRY By Reginald Dean Weems Lynchburg, Virginia February 2013 Copyright 2013 Reginald Dean Weems All Rights Reserved ii LIBERTY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY THESIS PROJECT APPROVAL SHEET ______________________________ GRADE ______________________________ MENTOR: Dr. Frank Schmitt Professor of Educational Ministries Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary ______________________________ READER: Dr. Elmer Towns Co-Founder & Vice President, Liberty University Dean, School of Religion, Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Anyone who has written a doctoral dissertation understands the importance of a supportive wife. In that regard I can only speak of my wife Teana in the superlative. We are childhood sweethearts whose love has grown in thirty-seven years of marriage. No person on earth knows me better or loves me more. Heaven will only increase that mutual love so we look forward to the future with the same energy and joy as we relished getting married, having children and celebrating grandchildren. My mother was the most influential person in my life as a child. Her passion for me led me into a life that valued knowledge, education and reading. No kindness extended to her would ever repay the debt I gladly owe her. Heritage Baptist Church has been the soil in which this dissertation has grown. My experience there has enabled me to value the long pastorate, to experience it and to encourage others to enjoy its benefits. A long pastorate is not the success of a single person yet there are too many people to publicly acknowledge.

  • The Process Begins When an Applicant Enters a Recruiters Office and Expresses Interest in Joining the Air Force
    The process begins when an applicant enters a recruiters office and expresses interest in joining the Air Force. To get started the recruiter asks the applicant to complete the SF-86 "Questionnaire for National Security Positions" (OMB Control Number 3206-0005). The recruiter enters the information from the SF-86 into the Air Force Recruiting Information Support System - Total Force (AFRISS-TF). The recruiter then provides the applicant with the Agency Disclosure Notice and Privacy Act Statement for AFRISS-TF (see page 2) then proceeds to complete the remaining fields (see screen shots below). They are either filled out by the recruiter (because they are internal use only) or the recruiter asks the applicant for their responses. The system is logically organized and the tabs flow left to right.

Trollinger, Jr.</AU> <A>Definition and Theology</ A> The term "fundamentalism" has been used to describe a host of religious movements across the globe that are militantly antimodernist, aggressively patriarchal, literalist in their reading of sacred texts, and assiduous in their efforts to draw boundaries between themselves and outsiders. While "Islamic fundamentalism" has received the most attention, particularly after the September 11, 200 l terrorist attacks, scholars and journalists have also applied the term to movements within such disparate traditions as Judaism, Sikhism, and Hinduism, as well as to various Christian groups.' There are benefits to understanding fundamentalism as a global movement that grows out of deep-seated and intense opposition to (aspects of) modernity, and that is found in a wide array of religious traditions. Among other things, such an approach allows for interesting and often insightful comparative analysis.
