Download or read book Without a Flock written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the free church tradition, the pastoral prayer has long assumed an important place in the worship of the congregation. It is expected that the pastor will have a more or less extended prayer pertinent to the day and/or to the run of the service in general. Under the circumstances of normal practice, these would involve awareness of a congregation, or a "flock" for a pastor to tend. After ending a normal pastorate and entering retirement and the far more occasional happenstance of entering a pulpit as a guest, the regular preparation for a worship-leading practice became desirable, personally. As a part of that preparation, most often without entering the leadership of worship, least of all as pastor, the pastoral prayer was prepared. This book collects eleven years worth of pastoral prayers, linked to the preaching text of the day by way of the sermon prepared. As there is no flock as reference point, these are, indeed, "Without A Flock".

Download or read book Black Is a Church written by Josef Sorett and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Black is a Church, Josef Sorett maps the ways in which black American culture and identity have been animated by a particular set of Protestant ideas and practices in order to chart the mutually reinforcing discourses of racial authenticity and religious orthodoxy that have made Christianity essential to the very notion of blackness. In doing so, Sorett reveals the ways that Christianity, white supremacy, and colonialism coalesced in the modern category of "religion" and became formative to the emergence of black identity in North America. Black is a Church examines the surprising alliances, peculiar performances, and at times contradictory ideas and complex institutions that shape the contours of black life in the United States. The book begins by arguing that Afro-Protestantism has relied upon literary strategies to explain itself since the earliest years of its formation. Through an examination of slave narratives and spiritual autobiographies, it shows how Protestant Christianity was essential to the establishment of the earliest black literary forms. Sorett then follows Afro-Protestantism's heterodox history in the convergence of literature, politics, and religion at the end of the nineteenth century. And he shows how religious aspirations animated early calls for a "race literature" and "the color line" provided an organizing logic for religious innovations as divergent as pluralism and Pentecostalism. From the earliest literary productions of the eighteenth century to the #BlackLivesMatter movement in the twenty-first, religion--namely Protestant Christianity--is seen to be at the very center of black life in North America.

Download or read book Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility written by David Chandler and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2022-09-12 with total page 707 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility: Sustainable Value Creation (Sixth Edition) redefines corporate social responsibility (CSR) as being central to the value-creating purpose of the firm. Based on a theory of empowered stakeholders, this bestselling text argues that the responsibility of a corporation is to create value, broadly defined. The primary challenge for managers today is to balance the competing interests of the firm’s stakeholders’ understanding that what they expect today may not be what they will expect tomorrow. This tension is what makes CSR so complex and demanding, but it is also what makes CSR integral to the firm’s strategy and day-to-day operations. In this new Sixth Edition, author David Chandler explores issues around COVID-19, the BLM movement, the supply chain crunch, and the "great resignation."

Download or read book Michael Meyer with the End of the Age written by Michael James Meyer and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-04 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to understand how long the cycles are for global warming and man’s role in it? Do you want to understand the mythical story of Atlantis? What about COVID-19? In the groundbreaking book, Michael Meyer with the End of the Age, author Michael James Meyer answers these questions and more. After many decades of Bible study, Meyer uncovered a mathematical formula for deciphering most of the Bible and Biblical prophecy. Among other things, this formula gave him a framework that provided approximate dates to many Biblical events. It helps answer a host of questions, such as: What is the message behind the building of the three large pyramids and the sphinx? What are some of the key numbers for Biblical numerology? What is the “end of the world” prophecy in the Bible, including the resurrection? What will life on earth be like after the Lord comes and resurrects his people? Michael Meyer with the End of the Age journeys through the Bible, showing readers why the holy text is just as informative and relevant today as it was when it was first written.
