To borrow imagery from C. S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Timothy George’s perspective as a historical theologian is the wardrobe that we can walk through to get to Narnia, an exciting new place where we discover the wonderful works of Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, Luther, Wesley, and many others. George is one of the most respected church historians, theologians, and Christian educators of our time. But how did this Baptist preacher from Tennessee become a premier church historian and follow in the footsteps of great historians like the Harvard scholar George Huntston Williams (who was a Unitarian), the Duke scholar David Steinmetz (who was a Methodist), and the Yale scholar Jaroslav Pelikan (who was a Lutheran and later Eastern Orthodox)? This book will uncover how each of these influences contributed to George’s eye-opening, heart-warming, and kingdom-advancing approach to the study of church history.

Because of the importance of the moral issues and the hard challenges that the youths, parents, adults and Sunday School servants/teachers face, it was inevitable to put these issues on the table of discussion, and to present a Christian Orthodox view on most of these vital, critical and contemporary issues. This can be a guide and as instructions focused on questions of right and wrong, to develop Christian values, the standards by which people judge what is important, worth-while, and good according to the Holy Scriptures dogma. The topics concern us as citizens in this great country, and as people faced with many social, political, economic, medical, moral, cultural and religious issues. As a result, it became eminent for the holy Church to offer the Orthodox Christian perspective on these issues, to seek, to speak, and to be concerned for Christians of today, as they sit in church, live in the homes, labor in the working places, and exercise the duties of the citizens, supplying them with the Orthodox point view to be more relevant to the daily lives of people, and to stand tall before opposing views. We will attempt to handle these issues alphabetically. Fr. Markos R. Hanna August, 7th – 1997 The Virgin’s Fast
A key component of risk reduction is reducing the potential consequences that could result from toxic or flammable releases. The science of vapor cloud dispersion has advanced significantly in recent years, but one of the long-standing challenges has been in accounting for dispersion around buildings, equipment, and similarly sized geologic and man-made features. With current concerns about terrorism in industrial and urban sites, improving consequence modeling within industrial and urban sites is more important than ever This new definitive book advances the science of vapor cloud dispersion by: ·Describing how structures at an urban or industrial site affect dispersion, and how these effects should be treated in consequence models ·Explaining surface roughness length (z0) and displacement length (d) so that they are clarified for readers with minimal meteorological background ·Presenting criteria for when the structures should be considered broadly as roughness elements, or when they should be considered from the viewpoint of their wake effects ·Defining conditions for which different models apply and providing continuous solutions for transitions between flow regimes. ·Providing the appropriate roughness inputs to transport and dispersion models depending on conditions. ·Demonstrating the application of these techniques through worked examples.

The news is out and it is not good. If we do not get serious about the environment, about going green and protecting the world in which we live, the consequences are dire. Oh, you say, you cannot do much about this huge problem-you are just one person. The government and big business needs to take on this responsibility. Well, that is bunk and every thinking person knows it, says author and environmentalist Alicia Marie Smith. What it does take is a bit of time, commitment and some thoughtful decisions about the products you buy, what you do with them when they are used up and how you think and feel about the entire process of going green. If whole cities are doing it, surely each person can make small efforts in this crucial battle with junk, bad environmental policies and the so-called inconveniences of going and staying green. Get involved; get committed; get educated. Join the most important movement of the 21st century-and become a citizen of the world in your own little way. Fifty plus one Tips for Going Green is easy, accessible and fun!

Willette Jenkins was blacker than poet James Weldon Johnson's hundred midnights. Her family moved to Washington, D.C. in the early 1950s during a time when a lot of blacks in America were as “color-struck” as many of the nation's white citizens. Willette was a considerable beauty, with a darkness that virtually shined and features which would fit well in ancient Egyptian artwork. She was a most sought after young lady by men who were seeking first-hand proof of the old maxim, “the blacker the berry, the sweeter the cherry.” And if Willette was viewed as fruit by young suitors, she was set on ensuring that her sweetness was of the kind hanging low in the tree, and easily accessible.Janet Jenkins was of a much lighter hue, a tone many blacks derisively called “high-yellow.” They were sisters, and very close. But Willette would go on to give birth to seven children, by six different men, while Janet would go on to college. Janet was a sports fanatic and a “tom boy,” at a time when women who preferred the close company of other women was not a subject discussed or even acknowledged among a black population where many social activities centered around the church. Willette and Janet were as different as night and day. But while Willette would become a shame to her aging mother for “chasing men,” Janet would find it hard to appease a strict Baptist family for what seemed to be her desire to chase women. And as safe and assured as Janet's path seemed to be, it was the chasing of a more deadly substance by Willette which would eventually find Janet as overseer of her sister's seven children. Tragically, they'd eventually all be set adrift on the cold streets of “Glenfield Terrace.”
