"Most of the families we see have experienced intense anger at each other—and the guilt that accompanies this anger—for a number of years," said Lynne VanGeison- Culver, M.S., L.L.P., a Battle Creek Adventist Hospital psychologist who specializes in family and child therapy. "Family members have to change some patterns and learn to communicate before we can begin to work on what is perceived as the problem." When a sensitive and perceptive family can spot a problem early, before the anger and guilt have escalated, outpatient family therapy is the treatment of choice and can be quite effective in re-balancing the family. Family members meet together with a therapist for 60 to 90 minutes at a time once a week. In some cases, when trust has been broken down, one therapist might work with the child, another with the parents. When inpatient treatment is necessary, the family should be involved from the initial assessment right through discharge and follow up care.

Church members sometimes forget that what appeals to church-goers like themselves completely misses—or even turns off—those who don't darken the door of a church. 3) Decrease in donor population. Not enough younger donors are replacing the older donors who pass away or are no longer able to give. 4) Increasing competition for funds. More and more worthy organizations are using sophisticated methods to appeal for funds. 5) Lack of a church-wide media plan that shows church members how media realistically and profitably fits into local evangelistic strategy. Says Matthews, "Broadcasting in North America needs to be understood as an official church priority." 6) Misunderstanding of funding sources. The annual offering and General Conference appropriation supply only a small portion of the annual budget—in Faith For Today's case, approximately 28 percent. 7) Lack of knowledge about the programs. Many church members have not seen or heard an Adventist media program such as Faith For Today's "Christian Lifestyle Magazine" in many years. They simply do not know first- hand how good it is! In the face of such challenges, there is no guarantee that Faith For Today in the year 2000 will be celebrating "50 Years of Faith." To grow and thrive in the decade ahead it will need strong support. Do Adventists in North America still have the commitment—the will—to remain on television now that the novelty has worn off?

Sunday, reports Willis, and this weekend was no exception. Callers confessed parenting difficulties; several requested prayer for a reunited home either before or after a divorce. One marriage was breaking up after 38 years, admitted a distraught caller. One of the more heart-rending phone calls came from a Navy family whose son had been killed during the explosion on the battleship U.S.S. Iowa. "Sometimes our chaplains are overwhelmed with the burdens and heartaches of callers, and simply have to take a break," says Willis. "Imagine how our Heavenly Father must feel witnessing the agony of His children!" A rather surprising phenomenon generated by "It Is Written" is the number of calls from pastors, most of whom are non-Adventist ministers. While it is good that these ministers are calling to request the book offers, of even greater significance is that they identify with the program enough to confide their problems and ask for prayer.

This concern about giving who had the most influence on her life were until 1946, when she joined the faculty at the University of Denver. Dr. Hagen received her master's degree from the University of Nebraska in 1932 and Union College her doctorate in education from the University of Denver in 1950. She taught at the Educating Leaders for the Lord University of Denver from 1946 to 1972, and after retiring, was given the prestigious title of associate professor emeritus. Dr. Hagen has been honored numerous times for her contributions to education and society. She has been listed in Who's Who of American Women, Who's Who in the West and Time to talk and Dictionary of International Biography. Jefferson Academy, where she studied one year, presented her with the Distinguished Alumna Award. Southwestern Adventist time to listen College, which she attended two years before coming to Union College, elected her into their Hall of Fame. At Homecoming in April BY TAD STRICKER of this year, Union College bestowed on her a Distinguished Service Award. Although Dr. Hagen has actively supported her community and several worthy associations and committees, she still looks back on the time she spent with her students as the happiest and most worthwhile activity she's ever done. She estimates that approximately 10,000 students have studied under her tutelage. Retirement has not stopped Dr. Hagen from assisting young people. In April 1989, she made a donation to Union College's Midwest Foundation for Higher Education to establish the annual Culpepper Hagen Scholarship. Recently, Dr. Hagen and her husband made a contribution to be used for the school's writing center—a place where students can come for personalized writing assistance. In honor of this donation, the writing center was named the Hagen Writing Center. The writing center plaque displays a picture of Dr. Hagen and her husband Lester Russell, who died on November 24, 1989. In the final two sentences, the inscription on the plaque captures the story of the Hagens' years of dedicated and devoted service to young people. "Both Mr. and Mrs. Hagen spent their professional lives studying with young people, from the brightest who needed only encouragement to those who could neither read nor write. Seeing bright young people reach their goals and the learning disabled come to realize their own self-worth made life fulfilling for the Russell Hagens." tt
