...Mill Street Church of Christ v. Hogan Introduction: All relationships have the ability to strongly affect people, especially individuals that were not initially invested in such relationships. In a principal agent relationship, there is an established responsibility that the agent can act on the behalf or instead of the principle; however, what happens when there is a third party affected by the decisions of that relationship? In the case of Mill Street Church of Christ v. Hogan, we are able to examine the differences between actual express and implied authority are applied and how these authorities hold the defendant liable to the third party. Mill Street Church of Christ v. Hogan, Mill Street Church of Christ and State Automobile Mutual Insurance Company appealed the New Worker’s Compensation Board’s decision, which had stated that Bill Hogan was indeed in an agent principal relationship with Mill Street Church of Christ; therefore is liable for the compensation of Sam Hogan, the respondent’s injury. In the case, the Church had decided to repaint their walls and hired Bill Hogan to complete the task. Hogan had been painting the walls himself, however he reached a difficult portion of the building and decided that he needed additional help to finish painting. He spoke with Dr. David Waggoner, an Elder of the church, who stated that Hogan could possibly hire Gary Petty to help; however Dr. Waggoner also mentioned that Petty would be difficult to contact...

...was very confident in her faith and she knew what she believed. Although, she was so confident and understanding of her beliefs, I could never understand them. I was a preachers kid and I understood religion and the differences of some denominations but I could never understand what made The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints different than what I believed. The only predominate difference I could find was they not only read the Bible but they depended heavily on The Book of Mormon. As I began my research for this assignment I found a website that gave me insight and more understanding as to what they believe and why they believe it. As I visited this website, www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/mormonism-101, I began to understand the core values of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Mormonism. Mormons can be found all throughout the world. Not only can they be found in lower levels of society but also in high ranking positions around the world. According to the website, Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can be found at every level of society (Mormonism 101)....

...distinctly recall how surprised I was when everyone he interviewed, despite all being Mormon, described beliefs that were very different from my own and even different from each other. My mom, sister and I stood around the TV frustrated. How could these people get it so wrong? Didn’t any of them pay attention in church? This was a lesson I wouldn’t internalize until years later. Like many ex-Mormons, I’m guilty as charged when it comes to digging up amusing, factually wrong or plain absurd things that Mormon leaders have said or comment on absurd or destructive teachings. Even so, just because the church teaches something doesn’t mean all Mormons believe a certain way. A really poignant example is the godmakers cartoon, which I should point out is not and never was “banned.” The cartoon suffers from two problems. First, it’s old, and reflects teachings of the church from the 1960s and 70s. It was released in 1982, and of course the exact date that any given teaching was abandoned is rather fuzzy since the leaders don’t exactly go to the pulpit and say “we no longer believe this.” They just stop talking about it. The second problem with that cartoon is that while the church did legitimately teach everything they mention, even Mormons that are old enough to remember being taught the abandoned beliefs and might remember hearing the crazy stuff (God and Mary having literal sex or Jesus being polygamist just to name a few, the video has a lot of them) remember that everyone has their...

...The 'Contribution of The Catholic Church in Tamilnadu in rrhe 17th -19th Centuries to an Understanding of Christ D. JEYARAJ, S.J. With the colonial expansion of the Portuguese, Christianity came into the Tamil country. St Francis Xavier inaugurated the Catholic church in Tamilnadu. Henrique Henriques, a disciple of Xavier was· working in the fishery coast for fifty years till his death in 1600, at Punnaikayal. In the interior, Robert de Nobili, the Italian Jesuit, founded the famous Madurai Mission in 1606. His missionary adaptations and life had profound influence for the spread of the faith;. his writings continue to nourish the faith of the catholics even today. John de Britto spread the faith, particularly in the Marava country;. but we have no books written by him. With the coming of Beschi, the Catholic church in Tamilnadu awakened to a new sense of pride and dignity. Beschi was a poet, a scholar and .an apologist for the catholic church. After him; missionaries like Rossi, who worked in Marava from 1736 for 38 years, Abbe Dubois, a French Foreign Missionary who worked in South India from 1792 for 31 years, Fr. J. B. Trincal (1845-1892) who translated the entire Bible into Tamil, helped the Church to grow. Of all the missionaries in Tamilnadu it can be said without hesitation, the influence of De Nobili has been profound and enduring. Before we treat the Christological contributions of these missionaries' it will be proper to know their background. Most of the early missionaries...

...Pentecostalism * One way in which this religion spread begins with an independent bible school in Topeka, Kansas, founded by Charles Fox Parham (1873-1929) * Some students there had a particular concern for the account in the Christian New Testament recorded in the book of Acts, chapter two, describing what happened to Jesus’ disciples as they gathered in a private room in Jerusalem during the Jewish festival of Pentecost. * This festival attracted thousands of tourists who spoke many different languages. According to the account, the Holy Spirit enabled the disciples to speak in these different languages. This phenomenon is called “speaking in tongues” or glossolalia. Those who spoke in different languages believed the Holy Spirit granted them the gift or power to do so. Much of the Christian tradition restricted such miraculous gifts to the age of the apostles and did not expect them later. * Parham’s students in Topeka found nothing in the biblical text that limited such spiritual gifts to an ancient time. On New Year’s Day, 1901, Agnes Ozman received the gift of speaking in tongues. Parham soon embraced the idea, equating such spiritual gifts with a “second baptism” that followed the traditional baptism which used water to anoint individuals. This second baptism was a baptism of fire * Speaking in tongues is a form of ecstatic experience when for a time another power seized control of one and manifests itself. * The Pentecostal...

...Mary Baker Eddy Did you know that Mary Baker Eddy had a telephone installed in her coffin so that she could call the church when she was resurrected? (Lectures) Christian Science followers don’t believe in doctors or medicine and they worship Mary Baker Eddy. These are a few of the rumors that have been propagated by ignorant people that never took the time to research what Christian Science is about. I was one of these people prior to this class. In the following pages we will take a look at the truth behind Mary Baker Eddy, her life and how this has affected my spiritual growth. First of all I would like to talk about how I came to pick Mary Baker Eddy as my choice of topics for my final paper. I was first introduced to Christian Science and Mary Baker Eddy when I was around ten years old. My grandmother was involved in the church and I remember attending Sunday school and reading the Bible. The only other thing I remember from that time is that they sung old boring hymns and it was confusing because the Bible they read from had a lot of thee and thou references. There were pictures on the wall of Jesus, a church, and a picture of a lady that turned out to be Mary Baker Eddy. Throughout my life I witnessed my grandmother praying or reading out of the Bible. She never explained to me why she was doing this or I was just to self absorbed in my own life to show any interest. What stands out most to me is when my grandmother found out she had cancer and wouldn’t except any help...

...the police. Careful forensics carried out on the floppy revealed a document that had been edited by someone by the name Dennis in computers at the Christ Lutheran Church. This led to physical location of the suspect. To nail down the suspect as the BTN killer, DNA tests were carried out on Rader’s daughter, Kerri Rader and it was found to be matching. Comparing this to the DNA tests from the murder cases BTN killer emerged to be Rader. This was enough evidence to convict Rader for 10 murder cases. Digital evidence uncovered from the floppy disk Immediately Rader sent a floppy to the police containing Microsoft word document, the floppy was handed over to the computer forensic experts at the FBI for examinations. Inside the floppy was a file called “Test A.RTF.” The contents of the file read “This is a test. See 3x5 Card for details on communication with me in the newspaper.” The message referred to the card that was inside the same box that had the floppy. The officers further recovered a word document that had been deleted on the drive. Careful examination on the properties of the retrieved document showed that the document which had been modified on February 10th 2005 and had been revised on 14th February by the owner whose name was Dennis. The experts did a search on the church and found someone by the same name among the church attendants. Rader was found as the principal suspect and this led to a series of intensive investigation carried out on him. Rader’s case took almost...

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson also referred to as Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) is the man who knows how to entertain and express his feelings though powerful words. Sir Carroll was born on 27 January in Cheshire as being the youngest sibling in the family; was exposed to magic tricks, marionette shows and poems written for homemade newspapers.

...While many opinions seem harmless, others can be cruel, unjust, or harmful to reputations. Some opinions can build up such a wall that all hope for the light of another viewpoint seems lost. Culture and Lifestyle •Christian Science •Christianity •Religion •.My dictionary says that the primary sense of the word “opinion” involves “fixing in the mind.” It goes on to say that it is “the judgment which the mind forms of any proposition, statement, theory or event.” When we are going to vote for people or proposals in government, civic events, or even church, or we need to make a decision in our own lives, how can we make sure that we are resting our judgments on a certain and solid basis – on something more permanent than human opinion? One simple way is to begin with prayer to God, who is the Mind of each of us. We can always sincerely ask God how to think about any issue that crosses our path. This prayer may lead us to actively turn away from what circumstances are telling us about a person or situation, and to drop some fixed ideas we have habitually clung to. Today as yesterday, God, our true Parent, tells us of the constant and all-powerful good that belongs to each of us and is our only real experience as His children. Prayer can help us feel the power of this message, even in the midst of conflicting opinions. When we want to make the best decision – to follow our highest sense of what is right – we can prayerfully acknowledge each person’s oneness with Mind as the perfect...

...Crystal Back THEO 104 December 11, 2010 What It Means to Be a Christian I. Introduction There are three concepts that have helped reshape the perception I have of Christianity: the Christian’s way of life, the Christian’s testimony, and the Church, or the Body of Christ, as it relates to the community. Each of these concepts is very important as independent ideas, but together they strengthen and enhance the life of a Christian. My own life has been strengthened by these ideas, and that is why I believe they are all essential to the growth and maturity of every Christian’s spiritual walk. They assist in defining what it means to be a true Christian. II. Section One: The Life of a Christian The first of these important concepts deals with the lifestyle of a Christian. Every aspect of a person’s physical life is directly involved with their spiritual health whether they realize it or not. It is not only crucial for a Christian to be aware of what they are doing in the presence of others, it is important for them to be aware of the decisions they make without an accountable audience. Choosing to live a lifestyle according to the teachings of Jesus Christ is the best way to genuinely show God and others that His lifestyle is, in fact, the best way. It also shows others, believers and non-believers alike, what a Christian really is and what one represents. For a Christian to truly be capable of living a Christian lifestyle, they must first begin their journey...

...shortly after his homecoming, and the two of them eventually had two children, Brian and Kerri. Rader earned an associates degree in electronics in 1973 and started his studies at Wichita State University the same year. It was about to take him an additional six years to earn a degree at the university, and all he had to show for it was C minus or D level grades. Dennis Rader lived a pretty normal life, seen from the perspective of an outsider, and after being let go by the air craft manufacturing company he worked for, in 1973, he got a job with ADT Security and was an employee there for 14 years, learning everything there was to know about alarm systems. Later in his life, Dennis got increasingly devoted as a member of the Christ Lutheran church and his role as the president of the congregation could probably have been a contributing factor to the fact that the society around him perceived him as a normal family father.

...Globalization was a component that has swayed Google as it has been the other way around as well. Overseeing the globalization for the company from California was a pivotal phase of the business. Google is maintaining its business globally and with similar exhibition, the external risks are intensified. Google has foreign contention in all of its primary businesses: advertisement, internet search, social media, and mobile phones. Some opposition such as Facebook for the social media and Apple for the phones and tablets are leaders and Google must review these external factors. Another external factor that impacts Goggle’s globalization can be difficult because other countries may not want to use a product they are unfamiliar with. Therefore, a thorough explanation of why a product would be beneficial in another country is very important (Ford, 2010). China for example had outlawed Google as a prominent search engine for political consideration. These slumps are compensated by the importance that globalization produces inside Google. In 2012 the organization has a variety of human resources in different locations internationally that creates difficultly to a competitor to even think about emulating Google. “What the laggards have failed to grasp is that what matters most today is not a company's competitive advantage at a point in time, but its evolutionary advantage over time” (Hamel, 2006). Google manages to prepare for their future by understanding that preparing requires...

...The Mormon Religion As I previously stated, I visited the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Temple located at 9900 Stoneybrook Drive Kensington, Maryland 20895. The website for the church is http://lds.org/church/temples/washington-dc?lang=eng. I was unable get in contact with a specific point of contact before I visited the church for the first time, so I attempted to attend on a Sunday, not realizing they’re not open on Sundays. I later learned that the church was not a church at all. It was a temple. On my next visit I was denied entrance because I was not Mormon. After realizing there were rules to being permitted entrance to a temple, I contacted my friend who is a Mormon and was also my inspiration for the religion I chose for this assignment and she went to the temple with me in order for me to get an up close and personal experience at the church. The people at the temple were very friendly. When I first drove up to the temple I noticed that the building did not look the way I was used to church’s looking. I grew up in the south and I am used to somewhat small churches, often constructed by the members themselves. The size of this temple was very intimidating from the outside. It was the largest church I had ever visited or even seen in person. There was beautiful landscaping leading up to and surrounding the temple. The structure of the building was exquisite! The temple was all white and several stories tall. The outside looked to be made of stone...

...“Salvation” by Langston Hughes No one person is without sin. Everyone has done wrong, and nobody is perfect. A lot of people seek salvation and forgiveness for what they have done in their life. The definition of salvation is the deliverance of sin and its consequences brought by faith in Christ. Of the many people that seek salvation, some may not find what they are looking for. In “Salvation” by Langston Hughes, the main character has lied to and deceived most of his church members about being salvaged, or in other words, saved, and he should be supported for his actions. The author of “Salvation” is Langston Hughes, and he is also the main character himself. Hughes was born in Joplin Missouri on February 1, 1902. Soon after his birth, his parents split and his mother moved around, so Hughes was mainly raised by his maternal grandmother. After moving to several different cities, he eventually settled in Cleveland which is where he began to write poetry. Poetry was not the only type of writing that Hughes partook in. He wrote novels and short stories along with his poetry. In the short story “Salvation” Langston is a twelve year old boy going on thirteen attending a revival at his Auntie Reeds church. Towards the end of the revival, all of the “sinner children” were brought upon the mourners’ bench. The reason for this? To find Jesus and to let him into the children’s lives. One by one the children stand up and proceed to the altar as they have “found “Jesus. The only two children...

...are true” Having faith in Jesus Christ means relying completely on Him—trusting in His infinite power, intelligence, and love. It includes believing His teachings. It means believing that even though you do not understand all things, He does. Remember that because He has experienced all our pains, afflictions, and infirmities, He knows how to help us rise above our daily difficulties. Jesus Christ has atoned for us and prepared for us to receive eternal life. He is always ready to help us, as he commands us to “Look unto Him in in every thought, doubt not, fear not”. To me, faith is believing that Heavenly has a plan for us. It is trusting in God and knowing that He has a hand in all things in our lives. The Savior promises us, “If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me”. Through Him, all things are possible. However, faith is more than simply a belief. Having faith in Jesus Christ can motivate us to follow His perfect example. It is what actions we take that put our faith to the test. For someone to have faith, they must be motivated to put a belief into practice, not merely being content with it in their mind. For example, we believe that Christ is the Savior, but because we have faith we act upon this. Some ways we can act upon our faith include going to church every Sunday, participating in service projects, and paying tithing. We act upon these things because of our faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ. He promises us blessings and...
