This document provides an overview of Jesus' encounter with a Samaritan woman at a well in John 4:1-41. It summarizes their interaction, with Jesus revealing himself as the Messiah to the woman, who was an outcast from her community. Despite her suspicions and prejudices, Jesus lovingly engages with her and offers her living water, leading her to share the good news of Jesus with others in her town.
1) The document summarizes the story of John and Betty Stam, Christian missionaries who were killed in China in 1934 while serving with the China Inland Mission.
2) It then draws parallels between their willingness to follow God's calling and sacrifice everything and the story of Abraham in the Bible.
3) The author argues that God choosing to work through and save particular individuals, like Abraham and the Stams, rather than everyone equally seems unfair but is the "scandal of Christianity" that unbelievers find foolish.

This document discusses issues with how some Christians interpret and apply Bible prophecy. It argues that [1] obsession with prophecy can promote fear, anxiety, and manipulation among church members. It also notes that [2] many prophecies were not fulfilled as predicted or were written after the events they describe. Examples given include prophecies about Tyre never being rebuilt and the drying up of the Nile in Egypt. The document urges moving beyond an unhealthy focus on predicting the future and instead living fully in the present.

The Story of Genesis in the Chinese CharactersDave Stewart
The Chinese language is much older than when Moses wrote the book of Genesis. Interestingly, some of the traditional Chinese characters may indicate a clear knowledge of the same events as revealed by God to Moses, and we can draw the conclusion that the ancestors of the Chinese knew these stories and passed them on in their written language.
Christ claims to satisfy humanity's deepest thirst. He sees that people long for spiritual fulfillment but often misunderstand their own desires. While religious ceremonies of the time aimed to quench thirst, they ultimately fell short. Jesus invites all who thirst to come to him as the living water that can fully satisfy. He asserts that through him, people can access the eternal life and purity they crave. By coming to Christ, one's illegitimate cravings will be replaced with pure, hopeful living.

The document discusses a girl named Sophie who lives in the Donbass region of Ukraine and has cerebral palsy. She has not received needed medicines due to ongoing shelling in the region. The author asks others to help bring attention to Sophie's plight and pressure political leaders to end the conflict and provide aid to the people of Donbass. They suggest engaging alternative media figures and politicians to champion Sophie's case and encourage Americans to pressure their government to stop supporting the Ukrainian government forces responsible for attacks. The goal is to help Sophie and allow the people of Donbass to live freely without threat of extermination.

The document discusses the social control theory of criminology. It focuses on why people conform to societal norms rather than why they commit deviant acts. The social control theory proposes that criminality occurs when an individual's bond to society is weak or broken, including their commitment to social norms, involvement in prosocial activities, and belief in the moral validity of the law. When these social bonds are weakened, people are more likely to engage in criminal behavior.

The Omarska Memorial Project as an Example
of How Transitional Justice Interventions Can
Produce Hidden Harms
Sebina Sivac-Bryant*
A B S T R A C T 1
This article uses the example of a failed project, whose aim was to achieve consensus
around constructing a memorial at the former Omarska camp in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, to illustrate some of the dangers of transitional justice interventions
involving victims of dislocation and violence, as well as the potential for hidden harms.
It is based on nine years of ethnographic research into a small returnee community in
Kozarac, in the municipality of Prijedor. Well-intentioned as the project undoubtedly
was, it had unintended consequences for the social relations of the local community.
Like other internationally led initiatives, it can be argued that it helped reinforce a vic-
tim-perpetrator dynamic that prevented rather than assisted progress. Although we
cannot draw too many conclusions from one project, the issues highlighted by this ini-
tiative have been echoed on a smaller scale in much of the international involvement
of transitional justice scholars and activists in the town since then.
K E Y W O R D S : Omarska camp, memorialization, victims, returnees, Bosnia and
Herzegovina
O M A R S K A C A M P
After Bosnian Serb forces’ takeover of Prijedor on 30 April 1992 and as part of
a systematic attempt by Serb nationalists to ethnically cleanse non-Serbs from
areas of Bosnia that were earmarked to become Greater Serbia, camps were
established at Omarska, Keraterm and Trnopolje. Omarska camp operated from 25
May to 21 August 1992, on the site of an iron ore mine. During this time, more
than 3,000 Bosnian Muslims and Croats were confined, suffering cruelty and torture,
37 women were repeatedly raped and 500–900 people are estimated to have
perished.2

Pope Francis visited the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan from January 31st to February 5th, 2023. During his visit, he met with various groups including victims, young people, bishops, priests, displaced persons and government officials. He celebrated masses and held prayer services. The Pope emphasized the need for peace, justice, education and care for creation. He called on leaders to serve the people and end violence and corruption. He encouraged Christians to be reconcilers and bring people together through encounter and prayer.
This document provides a summary of Thomas Kyd's Renaissance revenge play The Spanish Tragedy. It notes that revenge is a driving force of the plot, as characters seek brutal justice for wrongs committed against them. While revenge satisfies a desire for simple justice, the play ultimately questions this, as further acts of violence only beget more violence and chaos. Revenge is presented as a dark obsession that corrupts those who pursue it and damages societal order.

The Gallipoli campaign had both positive and negative impacts on Australian society. It helped build the Anzac spirit and distinguished Australia as its own nation. However, it significantly hurt the economy and the morality of praising a failed war is questioned. While the Anzac legend defines what it means to be Australian, the costs of the failed campaign deteriorated Australia's relationship with Britain and damaged the economy. Overall, the campaign advanced Australia's identity and standing globally but came at a high economic and social cost.

The document discusses testing for differences between demographic groups in a survey study, noting large differences in group sizes that could invalidate comparisons. It explains using independent t-tests to compare two groups and one-way ANOVA to compare three or more groups on measures of SECI processes and innovation within Egyptian banks. The results would provide general indicators about each group's opinions, though differences in group sizes limit generalizing results.

interpretation of Documents A-I and your knowledge of the period referred to in the question. In
your essay, you should strive to support your assertions both by citing key pieces oi-evidence from
the documents and by drawing on your knowledge of the period.
1. The 1920's were a period of tension between new and changing attitudes on the one hand and
traditional values and nostalgia on the other. What led to the tension between old and new AND
in what ways was the tension manifested?

Just as he was a n Elk, a Booster, and a member of the Chamber of Commerce, just as the priests of
the Presbyterian Church determined his every religious belief and the senators who controlled the
Republican Party decided in little smoky rooms in Washington what he should think about disarma-
ment, tariff, and Germany, so did the large national advertisers fix the surface of his life, fix what he
believed to be his individuality. These standard advertised wares-toothpastes, socks, tires, cam-
eras, instantaneous hot-water-heaters-were his symbols and proofs of excellence; at first the signs,
then the substitutes, for joy and passion and wisdom.

Mr. Darrow: Do you claim that everything in the Bible should be literally interpreted?
Mr. Bryan: I believe everything in the Bible should be accepted as it is given there; some of the
Bible is given illustratively. For instance: "Ye are the salt of the earth." I would not
insist that man was actually salt, or that he had flesh of salt, but it is used in the sense
of salt as saving God's people. --
Mr. Darrow: But when ydu read that Jonah swallowed the whale-or that the whale swallowed
Jonah--excuse me please-how do you literally interpret that? . . .
Mr. Bryan: One miracle is just as easy to believe as another. . . .
Mr. Darrow: Perfectly easy to believe that Jonah swallowed the whale? . . . I

The pastor reflects on discerning when to say "yes" and when to say "no" to commitments based on their experience recruiting confirmation mentors. While initially disappointed by receiving "no's", the pastor came to see the "no's" as part of a larger "yes" to community as people's responses revealed thoughtful discernment. The pastor was then inspired to restructure the mentoring program to foster community over individual pairings. Saying "yes" and "no" requires discernment with God and others about honoring one's self and priorities.

The Baltimore Classical Guitar Society is presenting their 2010-2011 concert season featuring performances by Roland Dyens on October 16, 2010 at the Baltimore Museum of Art, Scott Tennant on February 5, 2011 at the Baltimore Museum of Art, John Williams on March 18, 2011 at Kaplan Concert Hall at Towson University, and the Alturas Duo on April 30, 2011 also at Kaplan Concert Hall at Towson University. They are also holding a BCGS Holiday Celebration on December 5, 2010 at An Die Musik LIVE!.
This document provides information about several classical guitar concerts that will be held between October 2010 and April 2011 as part of the Baltimore Classical Guitar Society's 2010-2011 concert season. It lists the dates, locations, performers, and brief descriptions for six concerts featuring renowned guitarists Roland Dyens, Scott Tennant, John Williams, the Alturas Duo, and a holiday celebration concert. Additionally, it provides membership information and benefits for the Baltimore Classical Guitar Society.
This document provides an update on relief efforts following Hurricane Ida in El Salvador. SHARE and partner organizations have raised over $42,000 for emergency relief through donations from individuals, parishes, and organizations. Funds have provided food, water, and temporary shelter. The next phase will focus on reconstructing homes and replanting crops. SHARE thanks all who contributed and looks forward to continued partnership in 2010.
The passage discusses the pastor's reflections on reading a children's book about a child who struggles with reading and is helped by her teacher, Mr. Falker. It brings up the pastor's emotions around the needs of children both locally in Baltimore and globally in places like Haiti, El Salvador, the Dakotas, and Cameroon. The pastor feels overwhelmed by the amount of need and that there is more work to be done than any one person can accomplish. The passage closes by discussing how the church aims to help meet global needs through prayer, financial support, and being part of the global community.
The Baltimore Education Coalition is organizing to protect funding for Baltimore City Public Schools from potential budget cuts by Governor O'Malley. Recent progress in test scores, graduation rates, and drop-out rates shows investment in education is working, but more funding is still needed to improve opportunities for children. BUILD and BEC are meeting with state legislators to advocate for maintaining or increasing education funding. Brown Memorial members are invited to contact the governor and their representatives to support adequate school funding.
This document provides a summary of church activities and events from November 2009, including:
1) The pastor's reflections on living out the church's mission with limited resources and the importance of pledging financial support.
2) An announcement about the first Tiffany concert series performance featuring vocal works by Broadway, opera and African American composers.
3) An update on the expansion of the High Expectations program to a new Baltimore high school to reduce violence and increase student success.
4) An invitation to a square dance fundraiser in support of Brown Memorial's global mission projects in El Salvador and South Dakota.
This document appears to be a visitor card for a church. It collects basic contact information from visitors such as name, address, email, and phone number. It also allows visitors to request to be added to mailing lists, request visits from church staff, enroll children in programs, and share other thoughts or prayer requests.
This is a new Welcome brochure assembled by the Membership Committee at Brown Memorial Park Ave. Presbyterian church in Baltimore. I designed it and laid it out, using the church\'s logo.
The Baltimore Classical Guitar Society is presenting their 2009-2010 concert season featuring 5 performances by various guitarists, including the Katona Twins in October, Jason Vieaux in December, ChromaDuo in February, Lukasz Kuropaczewski in March, and Manuel Barrueco in April. The season will also include master classes, a guitar ensemble, and an open stage. More information can be found on their website or by contacting the Baltimore Classical Guitar Society.

In preparing the Time, Talents, and Treasure Commitment brochures for this
year’s stewardship campaign, there was lively debate over whether or not to
give people the option of communicating something more than a dollar amount
with their pledge, such as “this represents an increase in my giving from last
year” or “this represents a significant sacrifice for me/our family.” The
committee ultimately decided that even having the option to make such a
statement would be too intrusive and might even offend people. Who would be
given access to such sensitive information?
In contrast, during our Wednesday Night@Brown stewardship series, a
minister member of the Presbytery, Rev. Scott Blythe, shared with us his
experience of the Iona Community’s practice of holding one another
accountable for how everyone spent his or her time and money. He explained
that small “family groups” of 8-10 met regularly to share and pray together, and

Elizabeth Reichelt in the basement of St. Matthew’s

by Mary and Rob English, is designed to find out what
a person’s passion is and then to lead that individual to
act upon that consuming interest. After hearing a
