TO THE CCCC FROM THE CONFERENCE PRESIDENT seed is a very interesting object of God’s creation. One tiny seed contains everything necessary for the new life that springs from it. All the blueprints and raw material of the parent tree or Aflower is already present in one of its seeds. The local church is similar. As Congregationalists, we understand more than most that each local church has the full presence and power of the Holy Spirit. There is nothing more that is needed to fully express in our communities the risen Christ which exists in every congregation. A church may be newly planted or closing its doors after years of service, experiencing a time of prosperity or enduring the hardship of struggles. Through it all we have everything we need to carry out the Father’s mission and extend the kingdom of the Lord Jesus right in our midst. This is one of the things that excites me most about the CCCC and our current direction. As I have been participating the last several years in the work of the Board of Directors, Guiding Coalition and the church multiplication hub in the Twin Cities, I see a real passion in our conference for seeing that power and presence of Christ expressed to its fullest in all our churches. If our Seven Guiding Values describe the core characteristics we feel should be present in Christ’s churches, our organizational emphasis on regional and community structures that continue to develop show our heart for facilitating the unique incarnation of those values in every local church. Why is Jesus in our community? What does he want to do here through his church? As a church planter, I have had to ask these questions directly, but these are important questions for every church. As Conference leaders we will continue to make sure that these questions remain a driving force for all we do, so that the presence of the risen Jesus in each of our churches can be powerfully demonstrated to a world that needs him so badly. We will work this year at removing any obstacles and facilitating necessary systems so that our Conference can continue to faithfully answer those questions at every point in our churches’ lives. All to the fullest extent and for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. “The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom.”- Jesus Matt Milligan, Conference President 6 | WELCOME 2018 -2019 CCCC YEARBOOK CCCC DOCTRINAL STATEMENT We Believe... We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, to be the only inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God written. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling power and fullness the Christian is enabled to live a godly life in this present

    Sex and New Religions Oxford Handbooks Online Sex and New Religions Megan Goodwin The Oxford Handbook of New Religious Movements: Volume II Edited by James R. Lewis and Inga Tøllefsen Print Publication Date: Jun 2016 Subject: Religion, New Religions Online Publication Date: Jul 2016 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190466176.013.22 Abstract and Keywords New religions have historically been sites of sexual experimentation, and popular imaginings of emergent and unconventional religions usually include the assumption that members engage in transgressive sexual practices. It is surprising, then, that so few scholars of new religions have focused on sexuality. In this chapter, I consider the role of sexual practice, sexual allegations, and sexuality studies in the consideration of new religions. I propose that sex both shapes and haunts new religions. Because sexuality studies attends to embodied difference and the social construction of sexual pathology, the field can and should inform theoretically rigorous scholarship of new religious movements. Keywords: Sex, sexuality, gender, heteronormativity, cults, sex abuse, moral panic WE all know what happens in a cult. The word itself carries connotations of sexual intrigue, impropriety, even abuse (Winston 2009). New Religious Movements (NRMs) have historically been sites of sexual experimentation, and popular imaginings of emergent and unconventional religions usually include the assumption that members engage in transgressive sexual practices. It is surprising, then, that so few NRM scholars have focused on sexuality.1 In this chapter, I consider the role of sexual practice, sexual allegations, and sexuality studies in the consideration of NRMs. I propose the following. Sex shapes new religions. NRMs create space for unconventional modes of sexual practices and gender presentations.

    Wright and Modernism in Indiana Indianapolis, Indiana May 1-3, 2015 VIS A Central Indiana holds a trove of architectural treasures. Some, like Frank PHOTO BY ANNE D Lloyd Wright’s Richard Davis House (1950) and John E. Christian Richard Davis House (Wright, 1950) House–Samara (1954) are tucked away in leafy enclaves, and some, like the midcentury modern wonders of Columbus, hide in plain sight. On the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy’s annual Out and About Wright tour, you’ll get to see both of Wright’s distinctive central Indiana works as well as several highlights around Indianapolis. Saturday, May 2 ERTIKOFF V We’ll depart from the Omni Severin Hotel starting at 8:30 a.m. to tour the local landmark Christian Theological Seminary (Edward Larrabee Barnes, 1966) and the 2012 AIA Honor Award-winning Ruth Lilly Visi- PHOTO BY ALEX tors Pavilion (Marlon Blackwell Architects, 2010) in the 100 Acres Art & John E. Christian House–Samara (Wright, 1954) Nature Park at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. After a brief stop at local icon The Pyramids (Roche Dinkeloo and Associates, 1967), we’ll head out to Wright’s Samara house in West Lafayette, a copper fascia-adorned Usonian still occupied by its original owner, and Davis House in Marion, with its unique 38-foot central octagonal teepee (we are one of the very few groups to tour this unique Wright work!). A seated lunch is included. We’ll return to the hotel around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, May 3 The list of architects with works in Columbus, Indiana reads like a who’s who of the great modernists: Saarinen, Pei, Weese, Pelli, Meier, Roche..

Comparing Processes of Change within the Jesus Fellowship Church and the Children of God aka The Family International Eileen Barker This is an account of the apparently impending demise of two new religious movements (NRMs) which were part of the Jesus movement that was spreading across North America and western Europe in the late 1960s. Both movements were evangelical in nature; both had a charismatic preacher as its founder; and both believed from their inception in following the lifestyle of the early Christians as described in the Acts of the Apostles.1 One of the movements began in the small village of Bugbrooke, a few miles southwest of Northampton in the English Midlands; the other began in Huntington Beach, California.

  • AIA Committee on Design Conference, Columbus, Indiana April 12-15, 2012: “Defining Architectural Design Excellence”
    AIA Committee on Design conference, Columbus, Indiana April 12-15, 2012: “Defining Architectural Design Excellence” Last year Columbus, Indiana was rediscovered in the national media with the public opening of the Miller House and Gardens. An exquisite design collaboration of Eero Saarinen, Alexander Girard and Dan Kiley, completed in 1957, the landmark has been declared “America’s most significant modernist house”. While the house is now owned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) and public tours are available through the Columbus Visitors Center, the tours are often sold out, limited in numbers and access. The IMA is providing the AIA-COD the opportunity to visit the house and gardens as an “open house”, with guides distributed throughout to provide information, and is allowing us personal photography. If you have visited Columbus in the past, you are aware of its recognition for its many modern buildings designed by nationally and internationally recognized architects, including Eliel Saarinen, Eero Saarinen, Harry Weese, Robert Venturi, I.M. Pei, Gunnar Birkerts, Kevin Roche, and Richard Meier. Columbus has been called the “mecca of modern architecture” and “the Athens of the Prairie”. In 2000, in a highly unusual move, six modern architecture and landscape architecture sites were designated as National Historic Landmarks; including First Christian Church (Eliel Saarinen), Irwin Union Bank (Eero Saarinen), Miller House and Gardens, North Christian Church (Eero Saarinen), Mabel McDowell Elementary School (John Carl Warnecke), and First Baptist Church (Harry Weese). The AIA COD conference will visit each of these locations. The commitment to design excellence has continued in Columbus the last 10 years, in fact thriving to have had the most construction per capita through the Great Recession.

Women in Hebrew and Ancient Near Eastern Law Carol Pratt Bradley The place of women in ancient history is a subject of much scholarly interest and debate. This paper approaches the issue by examining the laws of ancient Israel, along with other ancient law codes such as the Code of Hammurabi, the Laws of Urnammu, Lipit-Ishtar, Eshnunna, Hittite, Middle Assyrian, etc. Because laws reflect the values of the societies which developed them, they can be beneficial in assessing how women functioned and were esteemed within those cultures. A major consensus among scholars and students of ancient studies is that women in ancient times were second class, op- pressed, and subservient to men. This paper approaches the subject of the status of women anciently by examining the laws involving women in Hebrew law as found in the Old Testament, and in other law codes of the ancient Near East.
