...The Athanasian Creed, or Quicunque Vult (also Quicumque Vult), is a Christian statement of belief focused on Trinitarian doctrine and Christology. The Latin name of the creed, Quicunque vult, is taken from the opening words, "Whosoever wishes". The creed has been used by Christian churches since the sixth century. It is the first creed in which the equality of the three persons of the Trinity is explicitly stated. It differs from the Nicene-Constantinopolitan and Apostles' Creeds in the inclusion of anathemas, or condemnations of those who disagree with the creed (like the original Nicene Creed). Widely accepted among Western Christians, including the Roman Catholic Church and some Anglican churches, Lutheran churches (it is considered part of the Lutheran confessions in the Book of Concord), and ancient, liturgical churches generally, the Athanasian Creed has been used in public worship less and less frequently, but part of it can be found as an "Authorized Affirmation of Faith" in the recent (2000) Common Worship liturgy of the Church of England [Main Volume page 145].[1][2] The creed has never gained much acceptance in liturgy among Eastern Christians. It was designed to distinguish Nicene Christianity from the heresy of Arianism. Liturgically, this Creed was recited at the Sunday Office of Prime in the Western Church; it is not in common use in the Eastern Church. Today, the Athanasian Creed is rarely used even in the Western Church. When used, one common practice is to...

...Assassin's Creed Brotherhood review Introduction After the success of the first two games in the Assassin's Creed series, Ubisoft has released their highly anticipated game. Introducing a new setting, new characters, and new challenges, and an all new multiplayer mode, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood tries to raise the bar for the series. Story Brotherhood is set in the Italian renaissance, and it follows the character from Assassin's Creed 2, Ezio Auditore da Firenze. The game is set in multiple cities, including Rome, Venice, and Florence. Following his family's death, he is out for vengeance. Ezio is part of the brotherhood, meaning he is an assassin and serves to protect their order. The missions include taking out targets and helping others, all while on his personal quest. We would definitely recommend playing Assassin’s Creed 2 first, therefore, you will fully understand the story. The story continues progressing into something very big that we will not spoil in the review, but we can mention you will be in contact with Leonardo da Vinci, and you get to try out some of his inventions. (Hint, it might contain a human flight machine.) Gameplay Perhaps the best thing about the Assassin's Creed series is the gameplay. You are able to go wherever you want within the cities-- climbing buildings, jumping into haystacks, running around the streets, rowing gondolas, and even riding horses! You have so much freedom inside the game, and it opens up so many doors and opportunities...

...Droning in Modern Rock The song being analyzed in this assignment is titled, “Slip to the Void” by the Orlando based rock band Alter Bridge. The song was the opening track in the band’s third album titled, “AB III”, which was released on November 9, 2010 (“Alter Bridge – Music”). The song was composed by Myles Kennedy (the band’s vocalist and rhythm guitarist), Mark Tremonti (the lead guitarist), Brian Marshall (bassist) and Scott Phillips (drummer/percussionist). The song’s lyrical content deals with making poor decisions and slipping into a useless state. The technique of droning can be traced back to the Near East. In music, drones are described as sound effects where a note or chord is continuously sounded throughout most or the entire piece. It is usually achieved through a sustained sound or through repetition of a musical note. Though the song being discussed above doesn’t use a drone instrument to sustain the pitch, it achieves a similar effect by the repetition of the same note/chords. The song opens with this repeated harmony, which is played by a clean rhythm guitar. The same chords are repeated in this note and a sustained sound is produced over which the vocalist sings the entire first verse. This combination of unchanged chords borrows from the ancient drones as it involves a sustained sound which serves as a monotonous baseline over which the vocalist sings, which is similar (not same) to the Near-eastern technique. The repeated harmony can be heard till the...

...society. Though America creates programs and means of financial aid in order to help the poor, there is a general understanding of American society that the rich are celebrated and the poor are considered disgraceful in the public eye. This does not reinforce my own opinion, it is just a fact of some of the prominent parts of society. Balboa addresses his former state of poverty along his journey of upward social mobility along the pursuit of the American Dream. “Adrian, it's true. I was nobody. But that doesn't matter either, you know? Because I was thinking, it really don't matter if I lose this fight. It really don't matter if this guy opens my head, either. Because all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, and that bell rings, and I'm still standing, I'm gonna know for the first time in my life that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.” Balboa’s quote is another important sign reinforcing the upward social mobility of Balboa along his pursuit of the American Dream, in which he realizes that the money and the fame really couldn’t change him. The genre of the film is a drama, giving audiences an expectation of how the movie’s formatting will be. This film is very clearly a drama based on the serious and often tense dialogue, accompanied by a lack of humor and lightheartedness; rather the movie is filled with brutal fighting and constant external and internal struggle from the main character, obviously...

...Alexis Klein March 23, 2012 The Future After The Council To Constantinople and Beyond: The Council of Constantinople was held by to promote a revised version of Nicaea’s creed. This creed is the one we use to this day in Christian masses. The controversy was from the non-Nicene Christians and the pro-Nicene. Eventually the creed was revised and the non-Nicene group became isolated ecclesial groups. The Nicene Creed was revised through reading scriptures to understand the meaning of the spirit is within the father and the son. Process: * The council was called by the Emperor to end disputes on if God was three persons or one person with three characteristics. * The Nicene Creed is still used today from back in 381 when they revised it from the previous Nicaea’s Creed. * The spirit is the spirit that dwells within us all and the community. Many forget through all the material things that doesn’t matter how pure we are but it is more the spirit from God that makes us holy and pure. Challenges: * The idea of how the controversy evolved around God being three different people or God being his own individual and the Son and spirit are their own character. It becomes very confusing. * The complexity of the Council of Nicaea and how many were present and voiced their opinion but many just wanted to believe in their own ways without fully answering the dispute. * Another challenge is that wrapping my mind around the disorganized process that the Council...

...ecclesiastical hierarchy. Primarily through the force of political power, Arian sympathisers soon took to undoing the condemnation of Arius and his theology. Eusebius of Nicomedia and others attempted to overturn Nicaea, and for a number of decades it looked as if they might succeed. Constantine adopted a compromising position under the influence of various sources, including Eusebius of Caesarea and a politically worded “confession” from Arius. Constantine put little stock in the definition of Nicaea itself. During the reign of Constantine the creed of Nicaea was sacrosanct, although the Arian leaders who had been exiled returned and Eusebius of Nicomedia became the leader of the anti-Nicene coalition. Due to Constantine’s view of the creed Eusebuis of Nicomedia policy was to not attack the creed but the personality behind it; The Emperor Constantine. Arius along with two other Bishops Eusebius and Theognis refused to sign the creed of Nicaea and were consequently excommunicated however, soon after their banishment, wrote a declaration that they had changed their opinion, and now agreed in the belief that the Son and the Father are of the same substance. Although...

...The creed of the Specialist No one gets away with more than I. I am a non Non-Commissioned Officer, a beast of burden. As a junior enlisted soldier I realize that I am a member of an under appreciated, much chastised group of soldiers which is known as the ribcage, or perhaps pancreas, of the Army. I am proud of myself and my fellow Specialists and will continue to bitch, whine and sham until the absolute last second regardless of the mission at hand. I will use my grade and position to avoid responsibility, accountability and any sense of presence of mind. Ignorance is my watchword. My two best excuses will always be on the tip of my tongue "I didn't know," and "It wasn't me." I will strive to remain invisible and unavailable for details. Never ever volunteer for anything is my rallying cry. I am aware of my role as a SPC and if you need me for anything, I'll be on appointment. I know the other soldiers, and I will always refer to them by their first name or in some cases derogatory nickname. On weekends, or days off I will consistently drink myself into oblivion, and I will never answer my phone. I understand that for a person in my hierarchal position, rewards are going to be few and far between, and punishment will always be swift and severe. Officers of my unit will have maximum time to accomplish their duties, because I will be accomplishing them for them. I will kiss up to their face and badmouth them behind their back, just like everyone else. I will be...

I believe in the right of every child to an education, for his days to be honed in laughter , encouraged in love, immersed in truth, nurtured in wisdom, laced in deals and filled with hope to be whatever he chooses to be, given the proper guidance and encouragement to soar the heights of his reason and being.

...To many people, being healthy means being physically healthy. This well known dimension, even though not the only one, is very important. I try to keep my physical wellness up by keeping a balanced diet, and exercising regularly. An activity that I have been participating my whole life in is dance. I feel that dance is an activity that produces endurance, flexibility, and strength as the above definition says. Physical wellness also involves getting enough sleep, dealing with stress, and making smart and safe decisions. All of these things are very important in keeping up my physical wellness. Needham High School is a culture, and in it there are many subcultures. I believe the most distinct and large subculture that exists at Needham High School is sport teams. People associate and are friends with those who participate in the same activities as them. I myself am especially close with the girls I dance with, and I most of the girls I consider my best friends are those who I have been dancing with throughout my life. Intellectual wellness involves the interest in learning new things, and being open minded on different situations in the world. This includes being updated on current events, the T.V. shows I choose to watch, reading a good amount of books, my enjoyment of playing mind-stimulating games such as different card games and clue, and reading a variety of material. This dimension also emphasizes...

In the article “Mediating Conflicts of Need, Greed, and Creed” author Zartman talks about how the civil war and the unfulfilled basic needs. Ethnic conflict is often looked at as the common drive by private values and beliefs. The author discusses how mediating conflict can be a tough job for those that are not knowledgeable about how to prevent or resolve it. Thus far we have discussed how culture impacts conflict resolution and the differing strategies to address it. However, culture intersects with other motivations, such as need, greed, and creed, influencing how individual and group behavior complicate developing a productive...
