A comprehensive adult Christian education program for Shiloh Baptist Church - Bennettsville, South Carolina, 1985
No full textThe purpose of this project is to examine the biblical, theological and personal perspective on the subject of Christian Education of adults in the local church. This project is being done in preparation for the forthcoming formation of a Board of Christian Education in the church. The Pastor and Superintendent in the past dealt with all matters concerning Christian Education. This project was executed at the Shiloh Baptist Church, 119 Cheraw Street in Bennettsville, South Carolina. The active membership consist of 289 members (18 years and older) with 61 children, making a total of 350 members on the roll. Of the adult membership, there are only 65 members between the ages of 35-64. The method of instruction for this project was through Bible Study, handouts, group encounters, filmstrips and discussions. The project lasted for eight weeks with 22 persons participating. The format varied in nature, but all pointed to the central issue of adult involvement in Christian Education at Shiloh Baptist Church. The basic hypothesis employed was that if people are (1) exposed to the best scholarship available on an issue, (2) properly motivated either out of selfish goals or needs and (3) engaged in meaningful dialogue, a change would take place. Chapters I, II and III of the paper feature the introduction, theories of Christian Education for adults; and describe the historical, social, biblical theological perspectives which form the interdisciplinary foundation of Christian Education. Chapters IV, V, VI and VII reflect the actual implementation of the project. The objective of this project is a designed meaningful program of Adult Christian Education for Shiloh Baptist Church. The hopeful results will be implemented within the locale to bring increased or enhanced involvement on the part of adults in the educational ministry of the church

No full textThis Staff Ride Handbook for the Battle of Shiloh, 6-7 April 1862 is a valuable study that examines the key considerations in planning and executing the campaign and battle. Modern tacticians and operational planners will find themes that still resonate. The author demonstrates that leaders in Blue and Gray, in facing the daunting tasks of this, the bloodiest battle to this point on the continent, rose to the challenge. They were able to meet this challenge through planning, discipline, ingenuity, leadership, and persistence—themes worthy of reflection by today’s leaders
Understandings and social practices of medications for Zimbabwean households in New Zealand
No full textMedications are a central part of health care. How medications are understood and used by people in everyday life remains unclear. This study looks at understanding and social practices of medications in everyday life for Zimbabwean households in New Zealand. This project investigates understandings of medications and their use, taking account of all forms of medications, medical drugs, alternative medicines, traditional medicines and dietary supplements. Four Zimbabwean migrant families who all reside in Hamilton took part in this study. Data were collected using a variety of methods which included individual interviews with the families, household discussions, photographs, diaries, material objects, and media content to capture the complex and fluid nature of popular understandings and use of medications. This research provides insight into the cultural values and practices of these four families pertaining to how they acquired, used, shared, and stored indigenous and biomedical medications. Four key themes were identified: the preference of biomedical over traditional medications, storage, sharing and safety of medications; availability and affordability of medications; and the influence of the media in making decisions to purchase medications. Knowledge of how meanings are linked to the things people do with medications will inform strategies for ensuring that medication use is safe and effective

BOBBIE ANN MASON'S POSTSOUTHERNISM: THE DECLINE OF RELIGION IN FOUR STORIES FROM SHILOH AND OTHER STORIES
No full textA consistent theme in author Bobbie Ann Mason\u27s short story collection Shiloh and Other Stories is a break from the traditional religious customs of the U.S. South. As children become adults and move away and as marriages crumble, characters\u27 Christian faith fades, entering their minds only frustrated disillusion. Through their scathing, sarcastic quips and references, Mason\u27s characters exhibit distaste for the traditional attitude toward Christianity in the South. Therefore, Mason\u27s stories deconstruct not only the notion of Christianity\u27s role in the South, but that of the communal strength of family. Using Martyn Bone\u27s definition of postsouthern literature in his book The Postsouthern Sense of Place in Contemporary Fiction as literature that shatters previous preconceptions of the South, this research seeks to show how Mason\u27s work fits into this burgeoning literary realm although unmentioned in Bone\u27s book

Black Author Representation in Environmental Curricula at Three California State Universities
No full textEnvironmental studies and science programs play a crucial role in training future leaders to address environmental challenges and develop sustainable solutions. However, Black perspectives are notably absent in environmental education, with low representation among students and faculty, as well as limited integration of Black voices into the curriculum. This thesis examines the extent to which environmental studies and science courses taught at California State Universities incorporate Black voices in their curriculum. In this study, the researcher collected 383 syllabi from environmental studies and science departments at San José State University, San Francisco State University, and California State University East Bay from department online archives and through direct contact with department analysts. The readings listed in these syllabi were analyzed to determine to what extent Black voices are integrated in the environmental studies and science curriculum at these three universities. Reading material considered included academic publications, online content, and gray literature such as dissertations, surveys, and newsletters. Audio-visual media and government reports were excluded from this study. Author racial identity was determined through photographs, videos, biographies, company websites, and positionality statements. This analysis reveals that only 10% of environmental studies and science syllabi examined in this study referenced Black authors. This research concludes by providing recommendations for environmental studies and science faculty interested in decolonizing their syllabi and increasing the visibility of Black voices in environmental education
College Students' Involvement in Student Advocacy: Engaging Millennials
No full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of Millennial involvement in student advocacy. Some trends that show what it takes to keep Millennials involved have been found, but exactly what engages them in advocacy is not known. For this study we will interview college students involved in student advocacy, specifically student leaders involved in agriculture-related advocacy organizations. The interviews will lead to potential factors that motivate students to become involved and stay involved in student advocacy. Explanations of why other generations (Baby Boomers and Generation X) participated in student advocacy are relatively clear (Van Dyke, 1998). However, there is not a clear understanding of how Millennial college students engage in student advocacy. The Millennial generation is known to be more confident, conventional, and team-oriented than other generations. Millennials are future oriented, more tradition learners compared to Generation X, and like working with others (Lowery, 2004). Despite a great deal of literature about the unique characteristic of the Millennial generation, there is nothing that shows the relationship between the generation���s uniqueness and their involvement in student advocacy
