- The document tells a parable about a life-saving station that started as a small hut dedicated to rescuing people from shipwrecks, but over time became more focused on the comfort of its members as a social club. - As more survivors were brought in, the club saw them as disruptions and voted to stop the life-saving work. Those who still wanted to save lives started a new station that underwent the same changes. - Now there are many exclusive clubs along the shore, but most people who wreck drown, as saving lives has been replaced with the social functions of the clubs.

Slide Show - The Parable Of The Crude Little Lifesaving Station
- The document tells a parable about a life-saving station that started as a small hut dedicated to rescuing people from shipwrecks, but over time became more focused on the comfort of its members as a social club.
- As more survivors were rescued, the station added beds and furniture instead of cots to make people more comfortable, turning the station into more of a social gathering place.
- When a large shipwreck dumped many sick survivors at the station, the club had trouble handling them. They built an outside shower to clean survivors before entering.
- Members eventually voted to stop rescue work, seeing it as unpleasant. Those who still wanted to rescue formed a new life-
Friendship bell kfbpc ppt
The document summarizes information about the Korean Friendship Bell located in Los Angeles, California. It was a gift from Korea to the US for its bicentennial in 1976. At 18 tons and modeled after an 8th century Korean bell, it was the largest bell in the world at that time. The bell and surrounding pavilion cost $950,000 to build. The pavilion has since faced deterioration and a non-profit organization called the Korean Friendship Bell Preservation Committee was established in 2006 to restore the bell and pavilion in multiple stages.
TMCPJ 57th Anniversary - Remembering Our Past & Building For Our Future
Trinity Methodist Church Petaling Jaya celebrated its 57th anniversary by looking back at its origins in 1957 and efforts to expand facilities to accommodate growing membership. The church began in a small hall but saw membership increase quickly, requiring an expansion in the 1960s to build the current sanctuary. Through the 1970s and 1980s, the church continued expanding its kindergarten and facilities. By the 2010s, decades of growth led to plans for a major 60,000 square foot redevelopment and extension project to meet continued needs, with construction beginning in 2015-2016. The church emphasized the project's purpose is to glorify God and cement people to Jesus, not just increase real estate.
Places of Worship
The document summarizes places of worship for three religions: Sikhism, Judaism, and Islam. For Sikhism, the main place of worship is the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, which houses the holy book of Sikhism. For Judaism, the place of worship is a synagogue, where Jews pray and hold their holy books. The most important place of worship for Muslims is the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, which was built by the prophet Abraham and represents the house of God on Earth.
The Parable Of The Life-Saving Station.ppt
The story describes how a small life-saving station grew over time from a hut with one boat into an exclusive club. Members initially selflessly risked their lives to save others from shipwrecks. But as the station became more comfortable and decorated, fewer members participated in life-saving missions. They eventually voted to stop rescue work altogether and focus on social activities, leading to the founding of a new life-saving station dedicated to the original purpose. The cycle then repeated as subsequent stations also prioritized club functions over rescue missions.

Tsunami: Report from aceh
1. The document summarizes the author's observations on the role of religion in response to the 2004 tsunami in Aceh, Indonesia. It describes how religious interpretations varied, from seeing it as divine punishment to a reminder of humanity's fragility.
2. It discusses the active relief efforts by various Islamic organizations in helping survivors. Groups worked together across ideological lines to provide aid, showing how the disaster "bridged human differences."
3. The author observed that the tsunami strengthened some people's faith in God while also sparking discussions about ignorance of tsunami risks and calls for more education. Religious spaces like mosques and coffee shops became centers of information sharing.

Unit 2 4_case_study
The document describes Charles Foster's experience swimming across the Hellespont, the narrow strait between Europe and Asia. Foster and two friends trained in public pools before attempting the swim, which has historical and mythological significance.

Exploring the Blue Humanities of Uncertainty
A system, at its heart, is a flow of matter into a matrix of interconnected nodes, each part complimenting the function of the whole. This paper explores a series of medieval visions of knowledge in which human ideas arrange themselves in a non-human hydrological cycle that merges natural and intellectual interaction into a single dynamic whole. This conglomeration and organisation of thought stems from the power of water to move, to carry ideas, to bridge subject and object, to narrate intellection and imagination. This water, a fluvial material abstracted from imagining the traits of water apprehensible by the senses, links ideas, builds bridges, creates networks. This is abstract hydrology, worlds of water thought and dreamt that flow through time.
In this work in progress paper, I will explore a section of my thesis on fluid uncertainty that is currently under development. Consisting of three incomplete essays, the section acts as a bridge between the medieval content of my core thesis and some of the fluid ideas of modernity. First, I will discuss the notion of a fluid ecology as an interconnection linking medieval sentiments to the uncertainty of modernity. Secondly, I will discuss the implications of our emotionally ambiguous link to the ocean in an age of unsustainability and degradation, and whether inspiration from the pre-modern might help to guide our way. Third and finally, I will compare medieval and modern strategies for coping with the uncertainty of a world rendered in figurative flux.

Holy wells presentation
The document discusses holy wells in Ireland. Holy wells are springs or wells associated with saints that are believed to have healing properties. There are estimated to be over 2,900 holy wells documented in Ireland. People would visit holy wells on saints' feast days to seek cures, leave tokens or offerings, and engage in rituals like circling the well. While some holy wells may have origins in pre-Christian pagan sites, most are now associated with Christian saints. The document examines debates around the pagan or Christian origins of holy wells and describes some contemporary patterns of use and legends associated with individual holy wells in Ireland.

The Lake Placid Club, 1890-2002
On the morning of January 1, 2002, the wrecking ball swung into the brick exterior of the Agora Wing, the last surviving vestige of the old Lake Placid Club. As the Club came down, memories arose across the North Country of its former grandeur, its role in creating winter sport and two Olympic Winter Games, and its place as the employer of thousands of area residents. People also recalled its long slide downhill, beginning during the Depression, and ending in 1980 in United States Bankruptcy Court. This book retells the story of the Lake Placid Club, as it appeared in a series written for the Lake Placid News and the Adirondack Daily Enterprise.

Practicing Paradoxy: Exploring Incarnational Christianity
This document discusses paradigms and paradigm shifts within Christianity. It explores how paradigms of power, certainty, and security are collapsing and argues for a new paradigm focused on faith, hope, and love. This new paradigm, called "incarnational orthodoxy," emphasizes relationship with Christ over doctrinal beliefs or ethical practices. It promotes oneness in Christ, the law of love, transformational living, radical hospitality, and inclusive community. The document provides examples of how this new paradigm could shape church ministries and calls readers to discern how to apply its principles within their own congregational contexts.

The document outlines steps for transforming conflict through understanding different perspectives and building agreement. It discusses 5 steps: 1) reflection and centering to understand each party's perspective, 2) setting a respectful tone, 3) sharing perspectives through active listening and clarifying assumptions, 4) building understanding by addressing issues and interests, and 5) reaching closure through mutually agreed upon solutions. The overall approach is to treat conflict as an opportunity for growth, respect each other's good intentions, and find creative solutions that address both parties' interests.

The church leader, Ken Howard, describes how the church acted like a startup by developing a Minimum Viable Belief, creating an entrepreneurial culture open to experiments, rapidly testing assumptions through small prototypes, eliminating waste, and measuring engagement. The church was able to thrive by appropriating strategies from startups even before Lean methodology was popularized.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
