    The study traces the efforts of English Nonconformists to provide chaplains for their adherents in the British Army. Unrecognised by the War Office, and opposed by the Church of England, the Wesleyan Methodists persisted in providing an unpaid civilian ministry until, by stages, they secured partial recognition in 1862 and 1881. The respect earned by volunteer Wesleyan civilian chaplains, who accompanied the troops on most colonial and imperial expeditions in the last quarter of the century, culminating in the Boer War, prompted the War Office in 1903 to offer them a number of commissioned chaplaincies. The Wesleyans declined the offer. Although they had earlier, and after anguished debate, accepted State payment of chaplains, they were not prepared to accept military control of them. In the Great War, Wesleyan chaplains were nevertheless obliged to accept temporary commissions. Congregationalists, Baptists, Primitive and United Methodists, through a United Board, provided another stream of chaplains. With the political help of Lloyd George, both sets of Nonconformists secured equitable treatment at the hands of the Church of England and, through an Interdenominational Committee, gained positions of considerable influence over chaplaincy policy. In the field, remarkably for the age, they joined with Presbyterians and Roman Catholics in a single chain of command. By 1918, over 500 Wesleyan and United Board commissioned chaplains were engaged. After the war, as the price of retaining their newly won standing and influence, both the Wesleyans and the United Board denominations accepted permanent commissions for their chaplains and their absorption within a unified Chaplains Department. Acceptability was secured through willingness to compromise on voluntaryism and conformity to the State

    The elastic spiral phase pipe

    No full text
    This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Elsevier via the DOI in this recordWe design a device for the passive mode conversion of guided, axisymmetric, ultrasonic waves in hollow elastic pipes into arbitrary non-axisymmetric flexural waves that have a constant angular profile along the pipe axis. To achieve this we create an elastic analogue to optical spiral phase plates—the elastic spiral phase pipe. Three possible configurations of the elastic spiral phase pipe are presented which allow the efficient generation of non-axisymmetric flexural waves from an axisymmetric, longitudinal forcing. The theory leverages the dispersive nature of the guided elastic waves that are supported in pipes through a defined relative refractive index. As such we include a spectral collocation method used to aid the design of the elastic spiral phase pipe that is corroborated with numerical simulations and then experimentally verified.Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)European Union Horizon 2020Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 185

    Adventist Information Ministry: Historical-Missiological Foundations and an Evaluation of the Chaplain\u27s Role

    No full text
    Purpose The aim of this dissertation was to: (1) investigate and record historical and missiological foundations of Adventist Information Ministry; (2) survey, analyze, describe, and evaluate perceptions about the AIM chaplain\u27s role and present resulting recommendations; and (3) provide summaries and conclusions for the major topics and methodology revealed in the main body of this report. Method Following an investigation of historical documents, a qualitative survey based on Dillman\u27s Total Design Method was implemented with six different groups of individuals associated with Adventist Information Ministry. Recorded input from sixty-five telephone interviews was analyzed and described according to pertinent group perceptions regarding the principle subjects of the study. The historical probes and phone interview findings were augmented with observations from the author\u27s two and a half years of work experience as senior chaplain at Adventist Information Ministry. Results A treatise of trends spanning a fifteen-year period of time leading up to the birth of Adventist Information Ministry is now available under one cover. The display of documented contributions reveals that a host of foundational proclamations, formative ideas, technological inventions, and key institutions were involved. For the Adventist Information Ministry chaplain, six fundamental functions are ranked according to survey results for the importance and time spent for each function. Discoveries among the chaplain interviewees includes intercession receiving the place of greatest importance but least time spent, administration voted least important but second in time spent, and counseling looked upon with lower importance but claiming the most time spent. Conclusions The variety of foundational sources made clear the delivery of Adventist Information Ministry was not the result of any one human being\u27s work. It was concluded that the governing source behind these multiple developmental factors was the working of God through His Holy Spirit. Given the blend of widely differing perspectives pertaining to the counseling component of the chaplain\u27s role, a concluding recommendation was directed to current leadership, staff, and chaplains at Adventist Information Ministry to meet together and work through the likelihood of ongoing misunderstandings in this important area
