CHURCH IS FAMILY – Becoming More of Who We Are is an in-depth New Testament study by Graeme C. Young. In the introductory section the author outlines the importance of this subject and its implications for the life and ministry of the church today. He looks at present day thinking about the meaning of church and how that is expressed in the variety of church structures, relationships and leadership styles. He then takes his readers on a detailed examination of church relationships in the New Testament. In the section "Church is Family in the Gospels" he looks at the inter-relationships of Father, Jesus, and Jesus' followers, and also at what we can learn from the example of how Jesus talked with his Father. In "Church is Family in Acts", there is shown the clear definition of church as family in how they addressed one another and in how they lived. The leadership and decision making in the New Testament church family is seen to not involve any hierarchical structure, but rather a wide variety of ways of reaching decisions. The terms used to describe people with particular responsibilities are examined and compared in meaning and function with the names and titles that different parts of today's church family use. In "Church is Family in the Letters" the writers are shown to be writing to fellow family members. This is seen firstly in how they describe themselves and other Christians, and in how they address the people they are writing to; secondly in what they say about their relationship with Father and Jesus; and also in the instructions they give for church family life. The purpose and practice of the various family gatherings of the church are described, with reference back to the church gatherings described in Acts. The book concludes with "Church is Family in My Experience". This section demonstrates that, although the denominational structures and organisation which are adopted by churches do not always clearly represent church as family, yet in all sorts of churches, "Church is Family" finds expression. The author shares his happy personal experiences of how what he calls "familiness" has been evident in the many varied churches and Christian groups he has been in throughout his life.
Communication is an essential factor underpinning the interactions between species and the structure of their communities. Plant-animal interactions are particularly diverse due to the complex nature of their mutualistic and antagonistic relationships. However the evolution of communication and the underlying mechanisms responsible remain poorly understood. Plant-Animal Communication is a timely summary of the latest research and ideas on the ecological and evolutionary foundations of communication between plants and animals, including discussions of fundamental concepts such as deception, reliability, and camouflage. It introduces how the sensory world of animals shapes the various modes of communication employed, laying out the basics of vision, scent, acoustic, and gustatory communication. Subsequent chapters discuss how plants communicate in these sensory modes to attract animals to facilitate seed dispersal, pollination, and carnivory, and how they communicate to defend themselves against herbivores. Potential avenues for productive theoretical and empirical research are clearly identified, and suggestions for novel empirical approaches to the study of communication in general are outlined.
This revised and updated volume of the New History of Scotland series explores a period of intense identity formation in Scotland. Examining the 'us and them' mentality, it delivers an account of the blended nature of Scottish society through the transformations of the industrial era from 1832 to 1914.Alongside the history of Scotland's national identity, and its linked political and social institutions, is an account of the changing nature of society within Scotland and the relentless eddy of historical developments from home and away. Where previous histories of this period have focused on industry, this book will take a closer look at the people that helped to form Scottish national identity. Graeme Morton shows that identity was a key element in explaining Industrial Scotland, charting the interplay between the micro and the macro and merging the histories of the Scots and the Scottish nation.
