    A call for continuity: the theological contribution of James Orr

    No full text
    James Orr (1844-1913) was a Scottish theologian, apologist and polemicist. He was the leading United Presbyterian theologian at the time of the United Free Church of Scotland union of 1900, and beyond his own church and nation he came to exercise a significant influence in North America. This study is an examination of Orris theological contribution, what he believed and how he expressed it, in its historical setting Particular attention is paid to the convictions which undergirded and gave impetus to his activities. The study reveals that while Orr was far from unaffected by the intellectual movements of the late-Victorian period, his contribution may best be described as a call for continuity with the central tenets of evangelical orthodoxy. He was one of the earliest and principal British critics of the Ritschlian theology, and a strong opponent of rationalistic biblical criticism. He emphatically rejected all evolutionary interpretations of man's moral history, and held firmly to orthodox Christological formulations in the face of alternative assessments of the historical Jesus. While factors of temperament affected the tenor of his work, his contribution was most decisively shaped by the convictions that evangelical orthodoxy is ultimately self-authenticating, that truth comprises a unity or interconnected whole, that genuine Christian belief implies a two-story supernaturalist cosmology, and that the rationalism of the times was a temporary malaise. A general lack of support for his views within the scholarly community, combined with his own deep-seated populist instincts and common sense convictions, led Orr in later years to direct his appeals primarily toward the Christian public. The conclusion reached is that Orr deserves to be recognized, not so much as a brilliant or particularly original thinker, but as an able and exceptionally vigorous participant in a period of dramatic theological challenge and change

    Unraveling the Improved ORR Activities in Pt/TiO2/C Hybrids: The Role of Pt Morphology and Reactive Surface Species

    No full text
    Further improvements and mechanistic understanding of the electrocatalytic enhancements towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are required to meet cost/energy demands and thus enable their practical applications in polymer electrolyte fuel cells. An investigation of the electrocatalytic enhancement mechanisms and stability of controlled electrocatalysts comprised Pt nanoparticles supported on TiO2/C materials was herein performed. The catalysts were prepared by depositing Pt, over the surface of TiO2 colloidal spheres. These materials were then supported onto Vulcan carbon to produce Pt/TiO2/C. The effect of Pt coverage at the TiO2 surface as well as the Pt/TiO2 loading on carbon over their ORR activity and stability were investigated. Results indicate that the control over Pt coverage at the surface played a pivotal role on activity optimization, in which an association between Pt content at the TiO2 surface and ORR activity was established. The ORR activity and stability were superior as compared to commercial Pt/C (E-TEK). Variations in catalytic activity could be correlated with the morphological features and with the concentration of surface reactive groups. Results described herein suggest that the understanding of the electrocatalytic enhancement mechanism together with the controlled synthesis of Pt-based nanomaterials may lead to tailored surface properties and thus ORR activities

    Dr. Madeleine Orr: How Climate Change Is Reshaping Sport

    Runtime 35:33In this episode of Tucker Center Talks, Dr. Nicole M. LaVoi talks with sport ecologist and author Dr. Madeleine Orr—founder of the Sport Ecology Group (https://www.sportecology.org/) and lead author of the UN’s Sport for Nature report (https://www.unep.org/resources/publication/sports-nature-setting-baseline-handbook) — about how sport is both impacted by and contributing to climate change. They discuss the science behind sport disruptions, the limits of current adaptation strategies, and why reimagining major sporting events is key to meaningful climate action across all levels of sport. Topics Covered: How climate change is already disrupting youth, collegiate, and pro sport; the difference between greenwashing and genuine climate adaptation in sport; and why it's time to rethink how, when, and where major sporting events are held.LaVoi, Nicole M.; Orr, Madeleine.
