Catholic Distance University (“CDU”) is not associated with and operates independently from The Catholic University of America (“CUA”). The WVHEPC has authorized CDU to operate as a degreegranting institution of higher education in West Virginia. Introduction We live in a unique and exciting moment in the history of the Church. Since the close of the Second Vatican Council, the Church has proclaimed Christ’s invitation to actively share in His mission and respond to the universal call to holiness. All Christians need lifelong formation in the word of God through an authentic, systematic exploration of the mystery of Christ’s merciful love. We are called to deepen our faith and, as we enter the third millennium, to be familiar with the documents of the Second Vatican Council, called by Pope Paul VI the Catechism of Modern Times. CDU was established in 1983 to meet the needs of adults who recognize that religious literacy is a lifelong pro- cess of growing in the knowledge and love of God. Responding to the needs of modern people, CDU uses an increasingly popular educational format called distance education. This provides adults with the opportunity to adapt the methods, time, and places of learning to their own situations and schedules. Our curriculum includes Vatican II and other Church documents and abundant readings from Sacred Scrip- ture. The Catechism of the Catholic Church brings the word of God to us in a language and style rich in meaning for our day. It also is an integral component of the entire curriculum and serves, along with the Bible, as a re- quired text. In the words of Christ himself, “The truth will make you free.” CDU’s singular mission is to bring the truth of Christ and his Church to you through various innovative methods of distance education. CDU will assist you in your journey to live out the fullness of God’s call in your own life and to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to a hungry world. Growing in the knowledge of God is the path of true joy. CDU is an institution of higher learning that offers an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts with a Concentration in Catholic Studies, Bachelor of Arts in Theology (BA degree completion), Master of Arts (Theology), Master of Arts in Theology and Educational Ministry, the Catechetical Diploma, Continuing Education, graduate and noncredit certificates. CDU offers Theology courses and online interactive seminars in Catholic doctrine, moral theology, sacraments, scripture, spirituality, bioethics, mariology, liturgy, catechetics, laity, and the Cate- chism of the Catholic Church. CDU also offers Humanities courses in classical languages (Latin, Greek), history, philosophy, and English grammar and composition. Communicating the mind and heart of the Church through technology Catholic Distance University (CDU) responds to the need for lifelong spiritual and intellectual formation that includes a deeper knowledge of the teachings of the Church. For over 30 years CDU has educated adults in 60 countries and most US dioceses. Mission The mission of Catholic Distance University is to communicate the mind and heart of the Church in a digital world. Using distance education, the university educates teachers and learners worldwide in Catholic theology, the liberal arts, and faith development for the growth of faith, ecclesial service, and leadership for the New Evangelization. 2 Motto, Vision, Institutional Principles of CDU The motto of CDU is Joy from the Truth, Gaudium de Veritate. Catholic Distance University through its academic programs, its expertise in distance education, and its com- mitment to a strong learning community, fosters an encounter with the living God in Jesus Christ who is the “way, the truth, and the life.” (Jn 14:6) In his Apostolic Constitution Ex Corde Ecclesiae, Pope Saint John Paul II stated that, “[a Catholic university] shares that Gaudium de Veritate, so precious to St. Augustine, which is that joy of searching for, discovering, and communicating truth in every field of knowledge.” (Ex Corde Ecclesiae, 1) Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI reminded Catholic educators, “First and foremost every Catholic educational institution is a place to encounter the living God who in Jesus Christ reveals his transforming love and truth.” (cf. Spe Salvi 4). (Address, Catholic University of America, April 17, 2008) Pope Francis described the goal of Catholic education, “To prepare hearts, that the Lord might manifest Him- self…” (Address: Vatican Global Education Conference, November 21, 2015) The following principles express the institutional vision: #1 - Guided by the Apostolic Constitution Ex Corde Ecclesiae, Catholic Distance University’s curriculum faith- fully transmits the teachings of the Catholic Church, promotes the authentic renewal of the Second Vatican Council, and illuminates recent papal documents in support of the New Evangelization. #2 - Catholic Distance University provides accredited education that reflects a commitment to academic excellence. This includes qualified faculty, a sound curriculum, and systematic academic programs, including graduate, undergraduate, degree and certificate programs that enhance professional careers and foster lifelong learning. #3 - Catholic Distance University uses distance education to provide universal access to its educational pro- grams and services through the Internet. Digital communication enables CDU to accommodate learners in their various unique circumstances. #4 - Catholic Distance University serves the Catholic Church’s mission of the New Evangelization through partnerships with dioceses and organizations, and uses current research to inform program development and support the educational goals

    Text of Resolutions passed by the General Council of the Theosophical Society Freedom of Thought As the Theosophical Society has spread far and wide over the world, and as members of all religions have become members of it without surrendering the special dogmas, teachings and beliefs of their re- spective faiths, it is thought desirable to emphasize the fact that there is no doctrine, no opinion, by whomsoever taught or held, that is in any way binding on any member of the Society, none which any member is not free to accept or reject. Approval of its three Objects is the sole condition of membership. No teacher, or writer, from H. P. Blavatsky onwards, has any authority to impose his or her teachings or opinions on members. Every member has an equal right to follow any school of thought, but has no right to force the choice on any other. Neither a candidate for any office nor any voter can be rendered ineligible to stand or to vote, because of any opinion held, or because of membership in any school of thought. Opinions or beliefs neither bestow privileges nor inflict penalties. The Members of the General Council earnestly request every member of the Theosophical Society to maintain, defend and act upon these fundamental principles of the Society, and also fearlessly to exercise the right of liberty of thought and of expression thereof, within the limits of courtesy and consideration for others. Freedom of the Society The Theosophical Society, while cooperating with all other bodies whose aims and activities make such cooperation possible, is and must remain an organization entirely independent of them, not committed to any objects save its own, and intent on developing its own work on the broadest and most inclusive lines, so as to move towards its own goal as indicated in and by the pursuit of those objects and that Divine Wisdom which in the abstract is implicit in the title ‘The Theosophical Society’.

By means of a descriptive study of the teenagers' online habits, ad behaviors, the project contributes to the identification of untapped marketing opportunities especially for sales websites, which usually do not adapt their strategies to this potential market. Therefore, this project aims at giving guidelines for webmarketers willing to capture the "consumers of tomorrow." iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS During the course of this learning experience, many people have lent their knowledge, expertise, ideas to assist me in the writing of this thesis.

  • The Elman Sports Club – Somalia
    TEACHING PEACE THROUGH SPORT THE ELMAN SPORTS CLUB SOMALIA In Memory of Valerie Place The flag of the ELMAN SPORTS CLUB waves as a peace and unity beacon above a sadly divided Somalia. In the story of the club Robert Williams tells of the origins and development of this marvelous peace initiative supported by Concern. Political systems in Somalia broke down in 1990 and the country splintered along tribal lines. This led to horrific famine in 1992. Concern mounted a dramatic emergency operation. Thirty two volunteers, most of whom had previously served in overseas emergencies, were assigned to Somalia and 1,000 staff were recruited locally. Valerie Place, a 23 year old Irish nurse was among the field volunteers. Her name has been written in letters of gold in the annals of that period. On February 23rd 1993 Valerie had already been in Somalia for a few months. She had wonderfully overseen the development of a large center in Mogadishu, the capital. That day Valerie was to go on transfer to Baidoa, a town where worsening conditions needed her skills. I watched from some distance as Valerie said her farewells to staff who clearly loved her. I recall wishing I had a camera with a telescopic lens to capture the picture of Valerie warmly embracing a child who had run to greet her. Much of what makes Concern worthy of its name was played out before my eyes. Then we left in two vehicles to make our way to Baidoa, a few hours drive away. I traveled in the first vehicle maintaining contact by radio with the vehicle in which Valerie and her good friend, Wendy Murphy, a Canadian Concern volunteer followed.
