By MEGAN DEPPE [email protected] Student organizations across the University of Iowa can continue mov- ing into the technological age with as- sistance from the UI Student Govern- ment, IMU Marketing and Design, and the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership. The UISG voted on Tuesday to ap- prove long-term funding for recognized student organizations’ websites, a proj- ect that has been in the works for more than two years. Several current mem- bers of UISG had campaigned with this project in mind. At the meeting, UISG Chief Fi- nancial Officer Drew Turner said the upfront costs of the program, which would include creating templates, mar- A crowd listens to Mariannette Miller-Meeks speak at the Iowa City Cancer Treatment Center on Wednesday.

  • Justin Martyr's Sunday Worship Statement
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 12/2 (Autumn 2001): 1Ð15. Article copyright © 2001 by William H. Shea. Justin MartyrÕs Sunday Worship Statement: A Forged Appendix William H. Shea There is a famous passage in the First Apology of Justin Martyr that has commonly been taken as clear evidence for weekly Sunday worship conducted by Christians in Rome in the middle of the second century A. D. The passage in question, Chapter 67, reads as follows: And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as time permits; then, when the reader has ceased, the president verbally instructs, and ex- horts to the imitation of these good things, Then we all rise together and pray, and, as we before said, when our prayer is ended, bread and wine and water are brought, and the president in like manner offers prayers and thanksgivings, according to his ability, and the people as- sent, saying, Amen; and there is a distribution to each, and a partici- pation of that over which thanks have been given, and to those who are absent a portion is sent by the deacons. And those who are well to do, and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is de- posited with the president, who succours the orphans and widows, and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds, and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need.

  • Combating Hiv: a Ministerial Strategy for Zambian Churches
    COMBATING HIV: A MINISTERIAL STRATEGY FOR ZAMBIAN CHURCHES by Japhet Ndhlovu Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Theology (Practical Theology) University of Stellenbosch Promotor: Prof. H.J. Hendriks March 2008 DECLARATION I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this dissertation is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature: ........................................ Date: ................................... Copyright © Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This work is about a missiological praxis for the creation of ‗Circles of Hope‘ as an entry point for faith based organisations and, particularly, local churches in Zambia for an effective battle in the fight against HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The HIV pandemic is one of the worst tragedies to have befallen humankind in the 21st century. Lost to many people is the fact that it does not affect all regions of the globe equally. Figures show that over 70% of PLWHA (people living with HIV) are in sub Saharan-Africa while most affected are young and therefore, in theory, energetic. With an overall HIV prevalence rate of 16% and a life expectancy of 34 years, HIV has severely impacted the lives of Zambians across the country. Stigma remains one of the most significant challenges in Zambia across the prevention-to-care continuum. The wider environment of these effects and statistics has provided for us the wider contextual situation. The Church in Zambia and, indeed, in the entire sub-Saharan African region cannot afford to hide its head in the sand anymore.
