Robby Houppert GLST 290-001 2/5/14 The Messenger, by Roland Muller, offered great insight into how to approach cross cultural ministry and have a lasting impact on the community that the missionary may be apart of. To even become apart of that community, however, it takes time, effort, and an understanding of how you, the messenger, will have to engage the specific target audience you so desire. In reading The Messenger, three chapters stood out to me in particular when thinking about how I would start to approach ministry in a cross-cultural setting. Chapter one, six, and seven caught my attention seemed to me to be very thought provoking chapters. Chapter one allowed me to think thoroughly about

Russ Bush entitled, The Advancement: Keeping the Faith in an Evolutionary Age, the author attempts to answer one very important question. Why has the view of life and absolutes changed so drastically and so quickly within such a short period of time? With the advancement of medicine, technology, and knowledge why is the Christian finding themselves living in a world where marriage, gender, religion, sexual orientation and above all else right from wrong are all preferences and there is no absolute right or wrong when it comes to choice. This work will review Bush’s viewpoint on how relativism came about through the postmodern era in various forms and will critique the pros and cons of his work as it pertains to Christianity in relationship to apologetics to a relativistic worldview. Summary Bush begins his work by showing how the world has adopted a philosophy that has swapped reality for and illusion.

Moosbrugger In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Course Team Leadership And Conflict Resolution CLED 610-B03 By Patrick Kevin Massey, L22562551 Goose Creek, SC February 24, 2013 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT 1 CONCRETE REPONSE 3 REFLECTION 3 ACTION 4 BIBLIOGRAPHY 6 ABSTRACT In the book Christian Reflections On The Leadership Challenge, the authors James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner present findings from their research with several types of organizations attempting to quantify consistent characteristics of leadership. Based on this premise they identify five “practices” they have determined are consistent with successful leadership. The authors then take each “practice” and utilize personal examples from their research to demonstrate how the “practice” is actually lived out. Then they shift into potential applications for the reader. The first practice discussed is “leaders model the way.” Here they expound upon the concept that it is critical for the leader to have laser-focused clarity and then be able to articulate there vision to those that are following them.

Leadership & Communication Patrick Hewitt ORG300 Applying Leadership Principles CSU Global Campus Dr. Wyatt Fisher 7DEC2012 I agree and disagree with the statement that “the way leaders communicate is dependent upon his or her age/generation”. The part of the statement I agree with can be demonstrated when you look back three generations in your family. What were the primary ways that the people of that generation communicated? Interpersonal communication was done either in person or through written letters. Moving forward to today, the same interpersonal communication is not only performed face to face and through written letters but through e-mail, telephonically, social media, and text messages.
Critical Thinking Application MGT 350 9/27/11 Critical Thinking Application Thinking is a natural human instinct; however critical thinking refers to how we analyze how we think. Applying critical thinking skills requires the implementation of Decision Making Steps as defined in the three categories of: 1) Framing the Problem, 2) Making the Decision, and 3) Evaluating the Decision ( Decision Making Steps, MGT 350 supplement). There are subcategories of each of these three which when utilized, provide a step by step process which results in sound decision making. The summer of 2010, I was faced with making the decision of trying whether or not to relocate in order to maintain my work/life balance. I was faced with being the sole caretaker of my aging parents who’d been hospitalized within 10 days of each other as well as my only son who’d been injured in a forklift accident at work.

However, the widespread assessment of group work is a more recent phenomenon. Both group work and its assessment (including self and peer assessment) has been the subject of considerable research and discussion in the higher education literature (e.g., Boud et al., 1999; Nightingale et al., 1996) There are a wide variety of teaching contexts where group work has been shown to enhance student learning. These guidelines are designed to assist teachers to use group work in an educationally appropriate way that also meets the requirements of VUW Assessment Handbook. (see Appendix A for the VUW policy and relevant extract from the Assessment Handbook) These guidelines are divided into three sections.
