The emphasis on moral debate in the contemporary churches is reflected in selections discussing questions about homosexuality, divorce, AIDS, and in-vitro fertilization, amongst other issues. Much of the new material, in section XVIII, represents debate on issues with origins in the twentieth century but which, in the new century, has reached heightened levels of urgency and concern, mainly on the global growth of Christianity, global poaverty, the global economic debt, social justice, migration, disability, domestic violence and child abuse, addiction, climate change, tensions between the 'West' and the Middle East, mission in a multi-faith socaiety, mission in a secular society, genetic engineering, the Internet, progress on Christian unity, the unity of the Anglican communion.

Online Polish roots. Online Polish genealogical research in America ; Online research using records from Poland ; Polish genealogical research in the digital age."Polish genealogy is almost completely defined by geography and history. Situated in the center of Europe, Poland has been foster mother to people of many different nationalities, especially Russians, Austrians, Germans, Ukrainians, and Lithuanians - people belonging to the nation states that exercised dominion over it. It has also been host over the centuries to Balkan and Carpathian Slavs, Jews, Prussians, Balts, Gypsies, and even Scots, so the Polish genealogical landscape is actually a mosaic. To explore it properly is to cross the overlapping boundaries of language, religion, geography, and history. The second edition of this pioneering work on Polish family history provides the American researcher with the most up-to-date tools to succeed in genealogical research in each of these areas. Since the publication of the original Polish Roots, there have been many advances in Polish genealogy research. The Internet has made the task of locating Polish ancestors much easier, as more information and images are made available online. In addition, there has been a marked rise in interest in genealogy in Poland, resulting in a great increase in the number of Polish genealogical societies available and the amount of helpful information disseminated. This second edition of Polish Roots addresses these exciting developments, with a new Introduction, four brand-new chapters, one completely rewritten chapter, several new maps and charts, and numerous updates scattered throughout the original text."--Back cover.

The deep end of hope in the wake of Hurrican Helene : 40 days and nights of survival and transformation / by Churchman, Emma M.,author.;
"Imagine being cut off from the world, perched atop a mountain turned into a deadly flood zone by Hurricane Helene's fury. For Emma Churchman and her husband Jeff, this nightmare became reality in September 2024. For three harrowing days, their loved ones had no idea if they were alive. But surviving was just the beginning. When they finally fought their way down three miles of treacherous terrain, they found their small mountain community of Gerton, NC transformed. Without power, phones, or internet, their neighborhood teetered between chaos and unity. As lawlessness emerged and desperation mounted, Emma made a choice that would change everything: to transform her fear into a fierce kind of love. With raw honesty and unexpected humor, Emma chronicles her role as a trauma chaplain in a community forced to build itself anew. Her powerful mantra becomes a lifeline not just for her, but for an entire community learning to trust again. "I am safe. I am warm. I am fed. I am loved." Part survival story, part love letter to human resilience, this unforgettable memoir shows us what's possible when crisis strips away our differences and reveals our shared humanity. In a world increasingly divided, Emma's story reminds us that our greatest strength lies not in our independence, but in our connections to each other" --
