Specifically, the book analyses the contributions of Mohandas K Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Albert J Luthuli and Desmond M Tutu to the non-violent effort. The book is dedicated both to those who have sacrificed to advance the cause of peace through non-violent resistance, and those who continue to advocate its use.

The Rich Heritage of Stewart Memorial United Methodist Church

By: Jake Miller

Building on Wings of Faith In 1868, with the nation in general disarray following the American Civil War, the Methodist Church began to form mission churches for freed Blacks in the South. It was out of these mission efforts that the historically important Stewart Memorial Methodist Church was founded in 1893 Daytona, Florida. In 1939, when several Methodist Churches reunited and assumed the title Methodist Church, Black Methodist Churches were included, but they were placed in the segregated Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church. Stewart Memorial Episcopal Church was renamed Stewart Memorial Methodist Church. There was still another change to come. When serveral Methodist-based churches united in 1967 and became the United Methodist Church, Stewart Memorial assumed its present name, Stewart Memorial United Methodist Church. Since its beginning, more than forty ministers have served pastoral charges at Stewart Memorial. Through the years, the United Methodist Church evolved, and so did Stewart Memorial, but the basis foundation of Methodism was unshakable. Methodism, as perceived by John Wesley, emphasized small group worship, which was described as: "A company of men having the form and seeking the power of godliness, united in order to pray together, to receive the word of exhortation, and to watch over one another in love, that they may help each other to work out their salvation." Making up these small groups under Wesley were those who had "a desire to flee from the wrath to come, and to be saved from their sins." It is upon the sound foundation of Methodism, as emphasized by Wesley, that Stewart Memorial was founded and continues to exist.

CHILDREN OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION

1930s-1940s & WWII

By: Jake; Daphne Miller

Daphne and Jacob Miller wrote this book with a vivid recollection, which is communicated instantly to the reader. It is unusual and innovative to have the same story told in two different but harmonizing voices. The style is factual, laconic, and detailed it is the more impressive for its lack of exaggeration. The facts speak for themselves with immense authority. Daphne and Jake Miller would like to pay a distinctive tribute to the people who defied the odds and emerged from the Great Depression and World War II to lead highly successful lives. Page 38 from the book: ..."one another without being caught. I think we liked each other. ..."(Daphne) When we were staying in the Hampton Roe area of London my cousin Joan and I were in the kitchen doing some chores. We suddenly heard one of those buzz bombs coming in our direction. We heard the engine suddenly cut out. This meant it was starting its drop earthward. We heard the the Vl bomb coming down as we stood there in the kitchen, both facing each other. We were scared so bad both of us looked as if our eyes were going to pop out of our heads. In our panic we forgot the stair case shelter, dived to the floor of the kitchen and pulled a small throw-rug over our heads! After the V1 bomb came down we had a good laugh at our stupidity. ************************************************ Page 119 from the book. ",,,about those women that would catch one´s eyes in a flash was their bare boobs. The boobs hung down their chests for about sixteen inches before you could see the nipples on the lower end. "The Island Commander who we dubbed a spoil sport, thought us Allied Military people did not need such a viewing. The Island Commander called the local Papuab Chief and his wife to a council meeting. Much to our regret he got the Chief and his wife to understand his directions. He would issue two white Navy T-shirts (U.S. Navy underwear tops) to them for each female. He ordered the Chief to see that they wore one of those T-shirts at all times. "So far so good...in no time from our viewing point we could see white clad females along the forest and on the beaches. In a couple of days we had to make a run for another load of supplies and the personnel of a U. S. Navy Construction Battalion. "As we were entering the port on our return the forward main deck of our ship suddenly became occupied by more than the normal number of people who should be there. Those men on the forwarded deck were the first ones to view a great scene. The natives had cut holes in the chest of the T-shirts"...

Posthumanist Collaborations in Performance

A Praxis-based Approach to Qualitative Inquiry

By: Travis Brisini,Jake Simmons,Tami Spry

Posthumanist Collaborations in Performance presents a novel approach for readers to engage with new materialist performance as a method of qualitative inquiry and as a means of combating the anthropocentric loneliness of modern life. It offers a theoretical and practical examination of how we are fundamentally entangled with a more-than-human world through practices the authors call “naturecultural performances.” The book features a collaborative body of arts-based research by three scholars working at the intersections of performance studies, new materialism, environmental studies, and qualitative inquiry. The result is an interdisciplinary body of theoretical scholarship, including a wide array of landscapes, plants, animals, minerals, and other more-than-human agencies. The book also presents practical examples and case studies of naturecultural performances, showcasing the diverse ways in which the concept of “natureculture” can be applied in research and creative practice. This book will be of interest to faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, performance practitioners, and anyone else interested in exploring or creating work based on their own fundamental relationships with the more-than-human world.

A Century of Hope

By: Jake C. Miller

Jake C. Miller, a retired political science professor, is the author of three books, including a collection of poetry entitled Building a Better World (1997). In A Century of Hope, he perceives the beginning of the 21st century as an appropriate time to call attention to societal problems of our day. Miller uses poetry to identify crucial issues and to suggest meaningful ways to resolve them. Considering that many technological innovations of the last years of the 20th century, he sees this entry as one of hope which could easily become one of disillusionment if adequate steps are not taken to eliminate the menaces which threatens us personally, socially and environmentally. The author challenges us to entertain visions of greatness and to work for their fulfillment. A Century of Hope was written to inspire readers to be innovative both in their thinking and action.
