Assumption College for Sisters has been an initial formation for Sisters and many others students who would like to serve others effectively. Anyone who studied at Assumption College is known for his or her humble service she or he gives to people. Clearly, Assumption College for Sisters has helped me to improve my Education, Spiritual, and Social life. First, the education I received from different courses has empowered me to see things in a different perspective in terms of thinking, writing, understanding, and doing. More than that, the core curriculum prepared me to be a critical thinker, effective communicator, and ready to share with others what I learned. This assists me to focus on the essential unity and universality of all people, …show more content…
Thus, my studies at the Assumption College for Sisters prepared me for future ministry through the academic skills, holistic education, and cultural enrichment I obtained from my studies. ACS formed me to be a good leader in the society by using the knowledge and skills I learned from college. Also, ACS prepared me to be an excellent steward through my service to others in my mission, community, and in the church. Above all, ACS taught me to have respect and value each person’s dignity in order to build an authentic society. Social justice is very important in my ministry that is standing for the poor, marginalized, the downcast, and all those societies neglected. I will offer education for women and children as they are the light and source of the new generation. My experience at Assumption College for Sister has encouraged me to be a leader in various …show more content…
Seeing the practical actions from my leaders at the ACS has improved my thinking, actions, and responsibilities. Therefore, at ACS everyone is responsible for his or her duty. I learned leadership needs commitment and sincerity. Communication is an important aspect of leadership; ACS leaders taught me this as they communicate each to me every event was to take place in my studies, community, social activities. It helped to focus and alert all the time. Through ESL 101 ACS has helped me to adjust to both life in America as well as college life. For this course introduced me to have the basic foundation of structures and vocabulary of the English language through the essential skills of learning that is reading, speaking, writing, and listening. Also, learning the American history and traditions helped me to understand American culture. I would suggest that ACS may continue to teach the American history and tradition in the first year. It is hard for the students in the first semester because they do not know English, but in the second semester, they have improved their
While general morality dictates that all living things should be protected and matter, traumatic events override this belief. Whereas the sanctity of life is thrown away, violent outbursts of rage or anger become more common. Robert Ross always resorts to his pistol when afraid or threatened – he now relies on instinct and violence rather than intellect: “He wanted his pistol… Gun. Gun. He wanted his gun.” (O’Brien 177-178) Naturally, Robert wants to get revenge against his rapists. However, murdering is not normally the first response. This shows that Robert cannot control himself completely, he thirsts for destruction. This is also a result of his post-traumatic stress injury. Likewise, his urges were evident at the start of the novel, after
With a youthful face, and striking blonde hair, the 41 year old is very knowledgable when it comes to crime within families. “the kids that I deal with suffer from massive issues with things like ADHD and there are other things running along side like schizophrenia and they are constantly committing crime, its almost like an impulse. There are other kids with preverbal trauma who have grown up in a violent background with people around them who have abused the law and when they grow up tend to do the same.”
Mount Aloysius College provides a setting in which students are encouraged to synthesize faith with learning, to develop competence with compassion, to put talents and gifts at the service of others, and to begin to assume leadership in the world community. With emphasis on values of justice, hospitality, mercy, and service, the College’s liberal arts core curriculum provides the necessary basis for leadership and the knowledge and skills in a wide range of professions. While the academic focus is paramount at Mount Aloysius, the College also considers spiritual, cultural, social and personal growth as essential elements in the development of the student (Mount Aloysius College, 2016).
Alvin L. Reid explains and covers multiple ideas, issues, subjects, and solutions pertaining to missional student ministry. Throughout reading the book it is evident that Reid is not only extremely passionate about the missional aspect of the student ministry, but also the reasoning behind this aspect. Reid’s chapters recognize the issues that many student ministries deal with and how the ministry can go from just an event to a mission ministry. Throughout this book review I will summarize the content and highlight the key components that Reid speaks about. In regards to what Reid explains about a missional student ministry I will speak of how it will affect
African American women represent a significant proportion of congregation in most African American churches. “African American women make up about 66-88 percent majority in African American churches though they are not well represented in the church leadership.” The greatest variation that can be observed in women’s leadership is in the pastoral category. The situation is worse for unmarried women who want to be church ministers, pastor or preacher but it becomes complicated for women who are in relationships but not yet married. Nonetheless, unmarried women are still being ordained and appointed as pastors and bishops at a growing rate. One of the remarkable appointment which also marked a milestone
A passionate educator, who is driven by the desire to share the splendor of truth with others, striving to help students develop and mature in their faith, as members in society, and in their academics. Inspired by Christ to partake in his mission by engaging in the teaching ministry of the Church, I work to build a Catholic community that nurtures the hearts, minds, and souls of the students. Possessing knowledge of history, literature, religions, languages, philosophies, and cultures, I am able to relate various fields of study in order to build up the vision of the school. As a servant leader, I dedicate myself to supporting and working with the teachers, the parents, and the students. The possession of strong leadership skills, as well
In this paper there are some important things that I am going to talk about. During this paper I am going to talk about Luther and Paul. Luther has done many things in the bible so to be more specific I am going to tell you how Luther’s treatise on Christian freedom reflect Paul’s argument in Romans 5. In that part it tells how we are saved and why. The next part is that I am going to tell about why doing a service learning project is very important in a Christian’s life. This project was a very great way to help in the community. So the last thing that I will be telling you about is what all my group and I did for our project. I hope by telling you about these things, that you will understand Luther and Paul a little better and
Their mission is to bring healing and reconciliation to those around the world who have lost touch with God. They started off by instituting schools and orphanages for children, specifically for, but not limited to, German immigrants. As they grew in size, the order expanded their ministries to care for the sick and elderly, domestic work, as well as ministry to Native Americans. In addition to starting schools, many members of this order also provide housing for students attending University. Although they are focused on education, many sisters of this order also focus on ecology and preserving God’s land. Many also serve in countries such as Guatemala and Chile, who lack some of the necessities of
Chrysostom devoted his life to helping the poor in the name of God. Chrysostom seemed to be fighting for the same things we are still fighting for, equality and “human dignity regardless of social status.” Nassif points out five ways that Chrysostom has laid the groundwork for the churches to follow in making a difference. Resonating most with the second and fifth points, I feel I utilized these with my service learning project. The second point is to “share our time, talents, and treasures with others, especially the poor and downtrodden.” Being an education major, I must display a talent for working with children that I used my time to do. I took the time to further understand issues children could face with reading so that I could learn better ways to help them. The fifth point is a reminder to love others because everyone is made in the image of Christ. One cannot go out with the intention of helping others without having love in their hearts for those people they are helping. Negative thoughts and feelings aren’t going to get us far in changing the world for the
Learning of Seattle Pacific University’s vision to “Engage the Culture and Change the World” is why SPU is my first choice of University . With a degree in Educational Ministry, I can help engage those facing similar struggles discover the ultimate change;
Amy Warren is a leader, mother, and wife. She works as the teaching leader at Bible Study Fellowship, a global operation for women to gather in local communities and discuss the Bible. She and other women meet once a week to discuss, learn, and apply biblical foundations in each other’s lives. Recently, she was promoted from substitute teaching leader to head teaching leader at her local BSF. Through years of experience, she has learned how to be an effective leader and instill a vision in others to create a new, reimagined BSF for the upcoming generations of women. Her responsibilities include interviewing for leadership positions, creating presentations about the week’s topic, and meeting with leaders once a week.
Lummis and Nesbitt discuss how women achieve powerful positions but remain pastors or assistants in rural communities and don’t move up in pastoral system to larger congregations (Lummis 446). They do contribute a consistent and steady leadership role for these congregations over time, however they are not exposing other congregations to having women clergy (Lummis 446). By discussing this lack of progression Lummis and Nesbitt introduce their audience to a basic struggle for women in the clergy. Their evidence affects the audience’s emotions by creating imagery for women stuck in rural areas because they are unable to find employment elsewhere.
My interest in the docent program reflects my passion embedded within the fundamental purposes of museums and libraries: preservation, investigation, and ultimately, presentation of knowledge to broad audiences in a unique, profound, and intimate manner. A scholar and storyteller at heart, I commit myself to intensive investigations – ranging from my studies with alcohol addiction in fruit flies, mythology behind Joan of Arc’s martyrdom, comparison of Roman imperialism to Neo-imperialism, and the history of AIDS socio-political discourse- and express my findings in the most creative and cohesive mediums possible. Driven by a desire to learn, I immerse myself in research on a daily basis, spending hours acquainting myself with books and articles.
Women have been involved in Christian ministry since the very beginning of Christianity. It has declined and risen according to the acceptance of the environment. The two papers addressed in this essay document the rise of women ministers in the Holiness movement as well as the decline of women in the modern Pentecostal movement. In response to this decline in women in ministry, Courtney Stewart gave points which the UPCI should tackle to rectify the situation.
The tools of research and reflection available to the church to ensure it is listening deeply to the needs of the poor, prisoners, the blind and the oppressed are many and varied. There are both quantitative and qualitative means of research that can be used for reflection by the church to assess the needs of the people. Issues such as poverty are being dealt with by the church continuously and striving for ultimate effectiveness. As long as poverty exists the church must strive to improve its tools and implement effective methods to eliminate it’s devastating consequences. Anthony B. Bradley says; “The mystery of Christ’s concern that we focus on the needs in front of us to pursue not a results-oriented utopia on this side of Christ’s return, but rather to pursue endeavours that support human dignity by establishing frameworks of trustworthiness so that people can plan to deal with one another in mutually beneficial ways.” A strong church starts with a clear vision. 1.
