  • Berea College Faculty and Staff Contributors
    Berea College Honor Roll of Giving 2011-2012 Honor Roll of Giving The names of those captured in this Honor Roll have done something remarkable—these people have changed lives. By giving to Berea College, these generous women and men have made possible a host of educational opportunities for Berea students. As I reflect upon these names, I think how inspiring it is to have thousands of different people come together on an annual basis for one cause—to support the mission of Berea College. From alumni, to friends of Berea, to foundations and corporations, the Berea story would not be complete without those you see listed here. These great people saw something in our students and our mission. They saw possibility and promise. Not only that, they acted, giving selflessly to help others. We are grateful for their generosity, compassion, and steadfast belief in our students’ potential. Berea students are extraordinary in so many ways. Limited only by their financial need, Berea students go on to do great work in countless ways. See some of their incredible stories here http://www.berea.edu/give-to-berea/now-more-than-ever/. Our sincere thanks go out to all those who help make this possible. Sincerely, Michelle L. Janssen, CFRE Vice President for Alumni and College Relations Greeting • 2011-2012 2 Honor Roll of Giving Honor Roll of Giving Contents You can scroll to the page you seek or click on the section title and go Berea College 2011-2012 directly to the page.

  • Mission Studies As Evangelization and Theology for World Christianity
    Mission Studies as Evangelization and Teology for World Christianity Refections on Mission Studies in Britian and Ireland, 2000 - 2015 Kirsteen Kim DOI: 10.7252/Paper. 000051 About the Author Kirsteen Kim, Ph.D., is Professor of Teology and World Christianity at Leeds Trinity University. Kirsteen researches and teaches theology from the perspective of mission and world Christianity, drawing on her experience of Christianity while living and working in South Korea, India and the USA, with a special interest in theology of the Holy Spirit. She publishes widely and is the editor of Mission Studies, the journal of the International Association for Mission Studies. 72 | Mission Studies as Evangelization and Theology for World Christianity Foreword In 2000 and in 2012 I published papers for the British and Irish Association for Mission Studies (BIAMS) on mission studies in Britain and Ireland, which were published in journals of theological education.1 Tese two papers surveyed the state of mission studies and how in this region it is related to various other disciplines. Each paper suggested a next stage in the development of mission studies: the frst saw mission studies as facilitating a worldwide web of missiological discussion; the second suggested that mission studies should be appreciated as internationalizing theology more generally. Tis article reviews the developments in Britain and Ireland over the years which are detailed in these articles and bring them up to date. It further argues that, while continuing to develop as “mission studies” or “missiology”, the discipline should today claim the names “theology for world Christianity” and “studies in evangelization.

  • The Holbrook Family
    THE HOLBROOK FAMILY OF DERBY, CONNECTICUT COMPILED BY MARY LOUISE HOLBROOK THE TUTTLE, MOREHOUSE & TAYLOR COMPANY NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT 1932 This book is dedicated to my mother, Dothia E. Kimberly Holbrook, who:se interest and encouragement were the reasons for my co1npiling this genealogy. PREFACE From the General Register of descendants of the Early Planters of Sherbon, Hollister and Med,vay, lVIassachusetts, by Reverend Abner Morse, A.M. "Name of Holbrook is ancient and distinguished. In the Eng­ lish world has long since attained wide range. It does not, how­ ever, occur in Dooms Book or Rheimin Foedera. Yet as early as the reign of Richard II one of the name was advanced to the order of Knighthood. "Others with equal claim to distinction must have attained to the same honor, for in books of Heraldry, I find the name dis­ tinguished by nine other coats of arms. Richard Holbrook knighted-coat of arms. Chev. between three Martlets." These badges have their use in an historical point of view as indicating the original and early seats of race. In the mother country they must have been men of character and consideration. Many Holbrooks were early in New England not descending from Thomas of Weymouth. I have succeeded in my own view in reducing them to descendants from a common father, whose name was probably John. They were probably from Weymouth, eight miles from Dor­ chester, England, from whence came the planters of our Dorches­ ter, Massachusetts. Not remote from these towns was a place, a small farm, long afterwards and perhaps still called Holbrook.

  • Northamptonshire Historic Churches Trust Annual
    NORTHAMPTONSHIRE HISTORIC CHURCHES TRUST ANNUAL REPORT 2020 3 AKEN together, Britain’s churches and chapels constitute one of the finest Tfreely accessible collections of art and architecture in the world. “Nowhere else in the world can you walk into a building that might contain a Saxon sculpture, a 13th century brass memorial, 15th century arches, 18th century box pews, 19th century stained glass designed by a famous pre- Raphaelite painter, and lovingly crafted kneelers made by today’s parishioners.” “Some of these buildings and their contents are among the greatest works of art anywhere and from any time. But among these astonishing riches there are always objects that remind us that churches and chapels were built and used by ordinary people and that ordinary people often have thoughts other than holy. Humour and strangeness are often met in churches - perhaps in a carved misericord depicting a drunkard, or a couple at each other’s throats on a carved bench-end.” (Exploring Britain’s Churches and Chapels) Every aspect of human life is reflected somewhere, somehow, in our churches and chapels. At the same time, they document more than a thousand years of styles, fashions, ways of worship and changing tastes in art and design. Supporting the Trust Become a Friend - Leave a Legacy - Give practical help 2 Northamptonshire Historic Churches Trust Patron: Her Majesty The Queen President: James Saunders Watson Esq, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Northamptonshire Vice-Presidents: The Rt Revd.
