No full textLeading by serving: A leadership training process, 1992
No full textThe title of this dissertation is Leading By Serving: A Leadership Training Process. This dissertation is the result of a leadership training process the Rev. Jeff Ehlers designed for Christ Lutheran Church in East Point, Georgia. This dissertation is submitted as a part of the requirements for the Doctor of Ministry degree. There are 177 pages in the body of the text, excluding the appendices. The seven sessions include: the purpose of the church, basic leadership principles, planning, spiritual gifts, worker recruitment, small group dynamics, and evaluation and the writing of personal action plans. The purpose of this seven session project grew out of a perception that the lay leadership of local congregations generally is not given the proper training necessary for the exercise of their responsibilities

Jeff Ehlers designed for Christ Lutheran Church in East Point, Georgia. This dissertation is submitted as a part of the requirements for the Doctor of Ministry degree. There are 177 pages in the body of the text, excluding the appendices. This project is a seven session training process designed to aid the leadership of local congregations. The seven sessions include: the purpose of the church, basic leadership principles, planning, spiritual gifts, worker recruitment, small group dynamics, and evaluation and the writing of personal action plans. The purpose of this seven session project is to provide lay leaders with some basic skills, tools and principles concerning leadership in the church. This project grew out of a perception that the lay leadership of local congregations generally is not given the proper training necessary for the exercise of their responsibilities

No full textIdentification of markers associated with bacterial blight resistance loci in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)
No full textCowpea bacterial blight (CoBB), caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vignicola (Xav), is a worldwide major disease of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.]. Among different strategies to control the disease including cultural practices, intercropping, application of chemicals, and sowing pathogen-free seeds, planting of cowpea genotypes with resistance to the pathogen would be the most attractive option to the resource poor cowpea farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Breeding resistance cultivars would be facilitated by marker-assisted selection (MAS). In order to identify loci with effects on resistance to this pathogen and map QTLs controlling resistance to CoBB, eleven cowpea genotypes were screened for resistance to bacterial blight using 2 virulent Xav18 and Xav19 strains isolated from Kano (Nigeria). Two cowpea genotypes Danila and Tvu7778 were identified to contrast in their responses to foliar disease expression following leaf infection with pathogen. A set of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) comprising 113 individuals derived from Danila (resistant parent) and Tvu7778 (susceptible parent) were infected with CoBB using leaf inoculation method. The experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditions (2007 and 2008) and disease severity was visually assessed using a scale where 0 = no disease and 4 = maximum susceptibility with leaf drop. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genetic map with 282 SNP markers constructed from the same RIL population was used to perform QTL analysis. Using Kruskall-Wallis and Multiple-QTL model of MapQTL 5, three QTLs, CoBB-1, CoBB-2 and CoBB-3 were identified on linkage group LG3, LG5 and LG9 respectively showing that potential resistance candidate genes cosegregated with CoBB resistance phenotypes. Two of the QTLs CoBB-1, CoBB-2 were consistently confirmed in the two experiments accounting for up to 22.1 and to 17.4% respectively for the first and second experiments. Whereas CoBB-3 was only discovered for the first experiment (2007) with less phenotypic variation explained of about 10%. Our results represent a resource for molecular marker development that can be used for marker assisted selection of bacterial blight resistance in cowpe
