Step 1: Consult AIA Guide to New York City to verify data
AIA Guide to New York City by Norval White; Elliot Willensky; Fran LeadonHailed as "extraordinarily learned" (New York Times), "blithe in spirit and unerring in vision," (New York Magazine), and the "definitive record of New York's architectural heritage" (Municipal Art Society), Norval White and Elliot Willensky's book is an essential reference for everyone withan interest in architecture and those who simply want to know more about New York City.First published in 1968, the AIA Guide to New York City has long been the definitive guide to the city's architecture. Moving through all five boroughs, neighborhood by neighborhood, it offers the most complete overview of New York's significant places, past and present. The Fifth Edition continuesto include places of historical importance - including extensive coverage of the World Trade Center site - while also taking full account of the construction boom of the past 10 years, a boom that has given rise to an unprecedented number of new buildings by such architects as Frank Gehry, NormanFoster, and Renzo Piano. All of the buildings included in the Fourth Edition have been revisited and re-photographed and much of the commentary has been re-written, and coverage of the outer boroughs - particularly Brooklyn -- has been expanded. Famed skyscrapers and historic landmarks are detailed, but so, too, are firehouses, parks, churches, parking garages, monuments, and bridges. Boasting more than 3000 new photographs, 100 enhanced maps, and thousands of short and spirited entries, the guide is arranged geographically by borough, witheach borough divided into sectors and then into neighborhood. Extensive commentaries describe the character of the divisions.Knowledgeable, playful, and beautifully illustrated, here is the ultimate guided tour of New York's architectural treasures. Acclaim for earlier editions of the AIA Guide to New York City: "An extraordinarily learned, personable exegesis of our metropolis. No other American or, for that matter, world city can boast so definitive a one-volume guide to its built environment." -- Philip Lopate, New York Times "Blithe in spirit and unerring in vision." -- New York Magazine "A definitive record of New York's architectural heritage... witty and helpful pocketful which serves as arbiter of architects, Baedeker for boulevardiers, catalog for the curious, primer for preservationists, and sourcebook to students. For all who seek to know of New York, it is here. No homeshould be without a copy." -- Municipal Art Society "There are two reasons the guide has entered the pantheon of New York books. One is its encyclopedic nature, and the other is its inimitable style--'smart, vivid, funny and opinionated' as the architectural historian Christopher Gray once summed it up in pithy W and W fashion." -- Constance Rosenblum, New York Times"A book for architectural gourmands and gastronomic gourmets." -- The Village Voice

Film Based on Memoir of Two Generations of Chinese Americans Explores History and Present By Tamara Treichel
“No matter what storm comes, don’t break,” Jian Ping’s grandmother told her. “You must be strong, like the mulberry tree.” Jian took her grandmother’s words to heart while growing up during China’s chaotic Cultural Revolution (1966-76), and wished to become a “mulberry child.”
The documentary film Mulberry Child tells the story of Jian’s childhood. As the story evolves, the mulberry tree is cast as a symbol of strength and resilience, and Jian’s wish to be strong and survive during a turbulent period in Chinese history makes complete sense.
Mulberry Child (directed by Susan Morgan Cooper, 2012) is based on Jian Ping’s book Mulberry Child: A Memoir of China (Morrison McNae, 2008) and will air on PBS and the World Channel nationwide in May – just in time for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and Mother’s Day.


Constantin Papaconstantinou, social media influencer and inspirational author of “A Brief Theory About Life and Beyond”, a moving book detailing the self-reflections of the writer's personal experiences connected with valuable spiritual advice on everyday life. The book chapters were originally distributed in digital format via email.
The client requested us to refresh the existing book logo and visual content, followed by creating a digital reading experience through a book-mimicking interactive website. We were also tasked with creating a smart content management system that could allow the author to easily update new chapters directly to the live site.
Building on the handwritten typography of the existing book logo, we adapted the arrangement and font size to create a more dynamic and bolder headline, while maintaining an organic and approachable aesthetic aligned with the writer’s philosophy. We offset the neon yellow accents with muted shades of purple and pink to create a softer overall aesthetic that pairs well with the chapter imagery, consisting primarily of beautiful sunsets and landscapes.
Our ultimate objective was to create a realistic reading experience that compels visitors to engage with the chapters and subscribe to more chapters. We integrated visual elements from real books into our design, utilizing features such as page folds and book edges to elevate the reproduction. We also integrated a smart rotation feature on mobile devices to allow visitors to enjoy the same lifelike reading experience on smaller screen sizes.
The client was extremely pleased with the result and the digital book had over 300 visitors on the first day it was launched.

The Godwin class of 1937 lived most of its school years under the cloud of the Great Depression, which, despite many public works programs, would not generally abate until the outbreak of World War II (WWII). Nevertheless, the school's physical plant did benefit from the many construction programs funded by the federal government during the years of the Great Depression, and 1937 was something of a banner year. In that year the library building was built, the tunnel under Division Avenue, and the athletic facilities on the ten acres of land that Frank Rackett sold to the school in about 1935. Those facilities included the tennis courts, Rackett pool, the lighted football field and track, the baseball field, and the playground to the north of Frank Rackett's home. ( In today's world, the playgrounds of the past have to be viewed as athletic facilities. Lawyers have made sure that playgrounds can no longer exist, and the epidemic of child obesity is but one consequence of this. ) New wings were added to the high school building during the Great Depression as a result of other works projects, but not in 1937.
In the Godwin area, as in the rest of the country, prosperity was mostly just a simple matter of whether the head of the household had a job, or could hang on to the farm. Unemployment rates hit 25% during this period. Relatives banded together in any way possible to ensure that everyone was fed and housed. Many people hit the rode to find jobs in other places.
For the 75% of the populaton that had jobs, things were mostly OK, and it's clear from the annual that the Class of 1937 enjoyed a largely normal high school experience, with all of the activities that later classes would enjoy. The world ahead of them was very uncertain of course, and only four years later the US would be drawn into WWII. In this, some members of the class would die, and all others that wanted them would have jobs for the next four years. There would be no stability in the sense of world peace and uniform prosperity in the US until the mid 1950s, so like many Godwin classes in the 1930s, there was a great deal of uncertainty in their early lives.
But for the time that Godwin was mostly their life, the class of 1937 fared reasonably well, and no doubt many of the class members went on to have very happy and successful lives.

Aspects of LGBT Life – All China Women’s Federation
Pederasty, the erotic relationship between a male adult and an adolescent boy, was already prevalent around the time of the Yellow Emperor, who is credited with having founded Chinese civilization. At least, this is what various literary works have recorded through the ages.
In both folk myths and literary classics, there have been both brief and lengthy descriptions of same-sex relationships, for both genders.
Sociologist Pan Guangdan insists homosexuality is a natural fact of life, and that it must have existed much earlier in human history.
While translating British psychologist Havelock Ellis’ groundbreaking Psychology of Sex in the 1930s, Pan was inspired to search through historical documents for credible clues of the existence of homosexuality throughout Chinese history.
And he found plenty.


Beatiful Nubia And His Roots Renaissance Band - Irinajo (Nigeria, 2010)
Beautiful Nubia is the performance name of Nigerian-born poet, songwriter, folklorist and bandleader, Segun Akinlolu.
Beautiful Nubia’s songs of cultural celebration, social upliftment and public enlightenment have inspired millions of people in his country of birth. As independent as any artist can ever be, BN writes, arranges, produces and markets his own music. His original songs, rich in folkloric traditions and ancient wisdom, have impressed many, including elders, and his ability to re-invent old folk rhythms and songs has led to a description as “one of those who have come to redeem the image of traditional African music” (The Vanguard, 2001). He has evolved a form of music which appeals to a continuously growing market comprising all sections of the populace: the poor and the rich, unlettered market-women and university professors, urban youth and rural folk, male and female, young and old.

The Forgotten Memories, 2017
Video and sound installation, 10 min.
Sound, canvas with mirrors, triptych projections of photographs from the archive in Roskilde, Denmark.
The video installation consists of a personal story told by my Granddad. He speaks about his memories from the first ten years of his life. Ten years which we do not know much about apart from his own memories. He does not have any photographs, or documents from that time except from his birth certificate. With help from the Danish archive in Roskilde I have accessed photographs which is leading me closer to some answers. Additionally, the work questions the impact of digitalizing archive material and what affect that has on our collective understanding of history, and furthermore our memories.

Recently, a group of Library staff members visited the Marvels & Monsters: Asian Images in Comics exhibit to see what some of our colleagues have been working so passionately on over the past several months. Good things had reached our ears about the event that highlighted cultural diversity, but until now we had not experienced it for ourselves. It was high time to do so.
The display was intriguing even from a distance with the bold colors, most predominantly yellow, symbolizing the Asian skin tone of the characters depicted. It captured our attention immediately and drew us from one end of the Charles B. Wang Center quickly to the other. We were met with an impressive array of painted panels that depicted various Asian archetypes created by American graphic artists for comic books during the Second World War and Cold War Eras. The exhibit served to show how easy it could be to alter society’s impression of a demographic who most knew little about. As we took it all in, we began to realize how closely this hit home to all of us. We, being library workers, were all too familiar with stereotypes that have been forced on those in our profession, probably since the dawn of the printed word. Allow me to address a few, as they related, at least in my mind, to their Asian comic character counterparts.
The Shusher is one of the most predominant images in the Library world. Librarian dolls have been made that mimic this aggressive shushing motion. To the world, library staff thrive in a world of peace and quiet and mechanically react with this hand to mouth gesture when any noise is heard. Much like The Kamikaze villains, they are a greatly feared character void of all personality who devoutly adhere to their mission to seek out noise and stop it dead in its tracks.
Who can forget the depiction of The Mean Librarian in countless Hollywood films? Always seen glaring from behind a desk piled high with books, squinting angrily through a pair of eyeglasses that have slid just a little too far down her pointy nose? Ruler in one hand, overdue stamp clasped tightly in the other. Wherever there is a scene set in the library where the heroes are happily piecing together bits of an exciting plot, there is a mean librarian there to serve as The Brute, spoiling fun simply for the sake of being bitter and mean.
Both Asian comics and American libraries share the archetype called The Brain. An example of a positive attribute somehow turned negative, these characters just can’t win. Whereas The Brain in the comics just wants to rule the world, the library version would settle to help you write a stellar research paper. Neither has a bright future in the romance department.
A beloved Asian character in Marvel comics is The Temptress, there to use her powers of seduction to thwart the hero. A beloved character at American Halloween parties is our counterpart, The Sexy Librarian. A little less in-your-face sexy than the comic book version, the Librarians show that there is a mysterious kind of beauty to be found in a girl with brains.
Every library has at least one, some guy who keeps abreast with all the latest technology. Though we are quick to label him/her as a geek in conversation with our peers, we will always compliment them on their sweater to be in their good graces because we know we will inevitably need computer help one day. They could be seen as a traditional Guru figure, the teacher of all that is wise, but in reality they will also always be part Alien, a perpetual foreigner in the workplace – but in a good way.
By learning of the stereotypes that have been invented to negatively depict others in our society, we were inspired to reflect on how vulnerable we all are to being unfairly categorized in potentially harmful ways by media and pop culture. That is perhaps why it is so essential to never pass up an opportunity to demonstrate that we are bright, friendly people who enjoy laughing and learning and defying preconceived notions to express who we really are.


- "One of the most respected lords of his time."
- ―About Sarathor
Sarathor Wolfbane also known as Lord Sarathor Wolfbane (9,178 BPD - 9,140 BPD) was a human and the Lord of Markwall. He was one of the most respected men of his time, and was considered one of the most powerful people in Amsnorth. This was mainly due to his great friendship with King Nark III Heartan, the King of Amsnorth. Sarathor squired for the king when he was a boy, and Nark thought of him like a son. It was rumoured Sarathor would marry Nark's daughter, Martha I Heartan, but no such thing took place.
Sarathor later became the Lord of Markwall, after his father died, and changed much of the city's operations, which gained him great favour of the people. He increased the jobs, and instructed new farms to be built. Nark III loaned him great sums of gold, which enabled him to double his armies, and expand on the city.
Around 9,142 BPD the Grand Wizard Azugon launched an all out war on the Races of Amsnorth, summoning large dark creatures to his side. The Great Purge began when the Dark Lord killed many dragons, and Sarathor was one of the first people to send out assassins to kill him.
When Azugon attacked Gran Sarathal, Sarathor was summoned by Nark III and he without hesitation gathered his forces and marched to the capital. With his son, Mandon Wolfbane, he held the defences of the city, but after leading an army of 40,000 men into battle, Sarathor was later overrun and killed, his son shortly followed.
Character and AppearanceEdit
Sarathor was a very kind and noble man, known to help others. He had a keen eye for knowelage and was often seen reading books, somehting he fouhnd soothing. He also cared much for the weak and poor, and one point he even ordered his soldiers to go around every house in Markwall and hand out food and gold.
Sarathor was tall and handsome, with brown hair in his youth, that eventually turned grey by the time he was 30 years of age. His skin was leather like and pale, but he was broad in appearance, and strongly built. Like most nobles and upper-class people, he loved to wear the finest of clothing, mainly reds and blues.
Sarathor was born to Gower and Tavia Wolfbane. As a boy he spent time within education, somehting his father demaned of him. His teacher was descibed by him as being cruel and very strict. Sarathor took in this education, and used it to increase his wisdom, somehting that played a major part in his success later in life.
Squiring for the KingEdit
When he was but four years of age, his father Gower, sent Sarathor to squire for Nark III Heartan. During this time, Sarathor got his first taste at ruling, and spent much time with the king in his council meetings. Sarathor found this very interesting, and took notes of what was happening.Nark also was fond of the boy, and even offered to train him in swordplay. Sarathor while not too into swordplay, accepted. Nark trained him, and within only a few years Sarathor was highly skilled in combat, and even managed to kill his first goblin.
Sarathor also started to grow attatched to Nark's eldest daughter, Martha I Heartan. Even though she was around 8 years his senior, he at some point at sexual relations with her. Martha used the boy for her own pleasures, and did not see him as anything else.
Nark also saw the affection the young boy had towards his daughter, and it was implied that he was considering marrying them.
At the age of nine years old, Nark took him to the Dwavern Kingdom for several months, and later to Wizardear. The king told the boy this was to increase his knowelage of the outside world. At Wizardear he visited the Academy of Magical Beings, and was toured around the school by Azugon. Sarathor instantly did not like the man, as he thought there was something dark about him. He brought this to the king, and Nark agreed, but informed him not to mention it to anyone alse, as Azugon was considered one of the most powerful men alive.
A New LordEdit
Around 9,168 BPD Sarathor was informed that his father, Gower and his mother Tavia were both killed at sea. Nark III Heartan arrived with him at Markwall, and helped the young boy through the suffering of his loss.
Nark raised the both for several weeks, teaching him more about being a lord, before Sarathor was made the new Lord of Markwall. When Nark took his leave of the city, Sarathor used his first command as Lord to build more farms around the city. This was respected by his people, as it increased the flow of food and supplies into the city.
Through his time as lord he was loved by his people as he always did things to increase the living standards of his city. He increased jobs by building, mines, windmils, farms, castles, forts, small towns, taverns and much more. He also had the southern area of the city knocked down, and built over 1,000 more houses, which increased the population by almost 400, and it further increased over the years.
Martha IEditStill Sarathor loved Martha, and travelled to Gran Sarathal when she was to fight in the tournaments. He watched his former lover battle through the rings, and waited until it was a good time to approch her. he visited her in her tent, and she did not greet him with much affection. However after stripping naked in front of him, they both had sex.
Martha kicked him out shortly after, and began training again. When it was her time to fight again, Sarathor took her lance and handing it over to her, whispering something in her ear. Martha showed a little passion for it, but did not pay further attention to him,
After the tournament was over, they slept with each other again and again, until Sarathor left for Markwall. It was not long later Martha turned up at his door, claiming to be pregnant. However he informed him that she had killed the baby. This enraged him, and he cast her out of the city, vowing never to speak to her again.
Marriage and ChildrenEdit
At the age of 18 years old, Sarathor married, and within 9 months was a father. His friend Nark III Heartan along with many others appeared to see the birth of the boy. There was a large celebration held to honour the boy.
Sarathor loved being a father, and spent much time with his son, Mandon Wolfbane. He taught him many of the things he was taught when he was a boy, and even hired the same teacher he had. Over 15 years later he had another boy, Norwin Wolfbane.
In 9,144 BPD Sarathor was informed that Azugon had murdered many people, and he was the first to hire and sent assassins to track him down. However after two years, Azugon appeared and launched war on the people, the Great Purge.Sarathor gathered his forces, and fought against him, being one of the major houses in the war. He fought in many battles, some with his son, Mandon. Sarathor could not spend much time with his youngest son, Norwin, so his mother raised him while he fougth in the war.
When the Battle of Gran Sarathal came, Sarathor answered the call without thought. He along with 40,000 men, and his son, marched to the capital. They held the city, and fought against Azugon's pawn, Ezgoth. When the second day arised, Sarathor decided to take his men through the underground tunnels, and flank the armies. When they did, they smashed through the forces, and killed over 20,000, before Azugon arrived. They were overrun, and Sarathor was killed.
Sarathor was one of the greatest lords of his time, and very respected, mainly because he increased the city and expanded much on its appearance and size. He also founded and created over 40 farms, and helped build many roads for trade and transportation.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
Sarathor was very skilled in combat, being trained by Nark III Heartan. He mastered a swordplay at an early age, and was considered one of the best fighters of his time. He was also very cunning and highly intelligence, somehting his hardship as a boy paid off.
- Named after Gran Sarathal

Here's a nice little taste:
Our English word authentic comes from a Greek word that means "original as opposed to a copy." Authentic people are people with direct, firsthand experience, people who make mistakes but don't accept any mistake as final. They're pioneers, not settlers, and they don't blindly and blandly follow the crowd but prefer to follow that "different drummer" whom Henry David Thoreau wrote about in Walden.
Why study these authentic men? Because we live in a world of pseudosaints and artificial heroes, many of whom are manufactured by the media and puffed by the promoters. The only thing some well-known Christians are known for is they're well known. Apart from that, there's nothing distinctive about them. They belong to the herd.
God is looking for authentic people who will dare to have firsthand spiritual experiences in life and not settle for the secondhand imitations that are promised if you listen to the right seminars, watch the right videos, and attend the right meetings.
"When people are free to do as they please," wrote Eric Hofer, "they usually imitate each other." For proof, check out any generation of teenagers, college students, or business leaders. Not so with authentic people. They struggle through life and let God make them the special individuals He planned for them to be. Eccentrics are painfully odd, and they repel us; individuals are creatively different, and they attract us.
A New Look at the legendary insights of Dr. Warren Wiersbe
David C Cook releases revised editions of
Dr. Wiersbe’s trusted Bible commentaries—the “BE” Series
As pastors seek to make the Word of God more understandable in an age that is unfamiliar with the Bible and as growing disciples seek to discover the truth of Scripture in a skeptical culture, there is a great need for guidance in both the preaching and study of God’s Word. Whether you’re a pastor, a seminary student or a truth-seeking disciple, an understanding of the Bible can be made clear to you with the help of one of the most influential, in-depth and practical Bible scholars in modern history.

Dr. Wiersbe’s commentary and insights on Scripture have helped readers understand and apply God’s Word with the goal of life transformation. Dubbed by many as the “pastor’s pastor,” Dr. Wiersbe skillfully weaves Scripture with historical explanations and thought-provoking questions, communicating the Word in such a way that the masses grasp its relevance for today.
Easily accessible for both pastors and lay people alike, Wiersbe’s profound study guides can be used in personal Bible study or with a group. David C Cook’s third installment of eight revised “BE” series volumes each feature updated content for today’s readers, a new introduction by Ken Baugh and new study questions for each chapter.

The Australian Baseball League has a unique, encouraging and a tragic history, which is why its past needs to be recorded and appreciated. The previous franchised version of the ABL from 1989-90 to 1998-99, and the Major League Baseball/Australian Baseball Federation backed version from 2010-11 to date should be researched and written as a history while records are still locatable and key people can be interviewed. The achievements of great ABL teams, players, and the high and low points for the league needs to be more than yarns and memories. The successful future of anything is often complemented by a thorough knowledge of the past.

Mesmerized and inspired by the stunning landscapes of Algonquin Park and the Canadian wilderness, Tom Thomson and the paintes known as The Group of Seven went into the wilds as voyageurs, carrying their canvas and paints, to discover and reveal their own ideals for Canadian art.
They met while working as commercial artists at various Toronto printing firms, where they specialized in graphic design for advertisements. On weekends they would take sketching trips together, painting scenes around the city and discussing the art world. In the summer of 1912, after visiting Huntsville, Muskoka, Ontario that spring, Tom Thomson went to Canada's Algonquin Park just north of Toronto to paint the landscape. Upon his return, his friends were so inspired by the work he created there, they started to join his annual summer sketching trips to Algonquin Park, where they would spend a few weeks inside the park canoeing, portaging and painting the scenery as well.
At this time, in the early 20th century, painting outside the accepted realm of realism was critically rejected and shunned by most art dealers in Canada. These painters set out to stretch the limitations and restrictions facing Canadian artists, and their works and ideals sparked debates about a new art form – debates that would last twenty years.
In 1917 with World War I, these friends were scattered across the globe. Some were hired by the Canadian War Records Department to paint the actions of the Canadian troops in Europe. Thomson, being ineligible to go into military service, spent that summer in Algonquin Park. In previous years he had been a ranger, firefighter, and guide, but found that these activities interfered with his ability to produce more art. Thomson intended to paint one painting every day that year to document the changing of the seasons, however he drowned unexpectedly in Canoe Lake, Algonquin Park, on July 8th, 1917 before he could complete his own challenge. The news of his tragic death devastated his companions, who considered that a great light had extinguished in the world of art with his passing.
After WWI the artists reconvened in Toronto and formed a collective called the Group of Seven, intending to put up a united front to the negative reactions to their work. Their first show was in 1920 and included some of Thomsonʼs canvases. The Group then spread out, painting all corners of Canada and uniting the nation through their art. With the passing of founding member J.E.H. MacDonald in 1932, the Group disbanded, leaving an indelible mark on the Canadian psyche.
With Algonquin Park as their school ground, The Group of Seven created astonishing worksthat are a legacy to our Canadian cultural identity. They inspired generations of young artists to experience the wilderness for themselves and to express themselves freely. Their struggle to change the opinion of what art should be was inspired by their high-spirited camaraderie, and their belief in Canada as a young and vital country.

This year protestant Christians are celebrating the 450th anniversary of the publication of the Heidelberg Catechism. What is it? Why and by whom was it written? What is the history behind it? What makes it relevant to some Christian communities today? Why, with some exceptions, recent studies of it are theological while its equally important and interesting for historians, who however take the back seat?
The word catechism, as we know, comes from the Greek katechein, meaning to instruct orally. In early Christianity the term was used in two different ways. It could designate the pedagogical process itself or the content of the instruction. By the time that printing was invented (15th century) the term could also designate the small books used for such instruction.
Instructing the faithful in the fundamental truths of Christian religion was a priority to all church leaders from Antiquity onwards. In the first three centuries of Christianity baptism was administered primarily to Christian converts who were normally adults; catechetical instruction counted as pre-baptismal preparation for these candidates who were known as “catechumens”.
As infant baptism took the upper hand from the fourth century onwards, catechetical instruction became post-baptismal and was primarily intended for children and adolescents. Its content became progressively standardized notably by Augustine of Hippo who wrote his On instructing the beginners in faith (De catechisandis rudibus) in 403 as a favor to Deogratias, the deacon of Carthage. Augustine recommended there that the Ten Commandments should be taught to all faithful, a recommendation that was not followed until the 13th century when it became a standard part of all Christian Catechisms. Augustine’s catechetical Handbook for Laurentius (Enchiridion ad Laurentium) of 423 also normalised the teaching of the Lord’s Prayer and of the Apostles’ Creed.
The 16th century Protestant Reformation is known for a large number of Christian instruction manuals for lay children and adults that it produced although the trend for this multiplication went back to the 15th century. During the 15th century, catechisms of particular profile emerged. Some were expressly intended as instruction to young people, which some theologians considered as the basis of church reform. Such catechisms almost invariably included brief expositions of the Apostles’ Creed, the Decalogue and examples of sins to be confessed. Others were intended as an aid to self-inspection and an examination of conscience intended to act as preparation for the sacrament of penance. Here too the Decalogue along with lists and classification of sins and various prayers including particularly the Lord’s Prayer.
The Reformation of the 16th century expressly rejected penance as a sacrament as well as individual confession, which was replaced by a summary collective confession of sins during the religious service, at least in some congregations. At the same time, all the reformers, Luther, Melanchthon, Zwingli, Bullinger, Calvin and their disciples did share the view that religious education provided the basis of church reform. They also felt, Calvinist reformers, in particular, that man, left to his own devices without God’s help, was a fundamentally sinful being suffering from the hereditary corruption of humanity by the original sin. This explains the importance and the profile of the Reformed or Calvinist Catechisms which were nearly all to be superseded from 1563 onwards by the Heidelberg Catechism.
As regards Calvinist instruction manuals, their history starts with John Calvin’s Instruction and Confession of faith used in the Church of Geneva in 1537. The structure of the whole is not very clear although the content of each of the thirty-three chapters it comprises is very well outlined. The opening section is devoted to exposing the purpose of human life, human nature and free will-all of which are corrupt and unable to do anything but evil without God’s help and divine providence, Calvin goes on to a brief exposition of faith and by now traditional Apostles’ Creed. A final section talks about prayer, the Lord’s Prayer in particular, and the two sacraments recognised by the Reformation, baptism and the Eucharist.
Calvin clearly intended the work to be taught to children by pastors and religious teachers, he did not intend it to be read by children unaided. In fact the surviving records of the “Collège de Genève” or the Geneva school set up by Calvin in 1542, show that children ended each day by a recitation of the Lord’s prayer, the Confession of faith and the Ten Commandments and that they spent much of Saturday on working on the questions that would be the object of Sunday’s catechism classes. Indeed, after his return to Geneva in 1541 (he was expelled from the city and exiled in Strasbourg between 1538 and 1541), Calvin wrote his second Catechism entitled The Catechism of the Geneva Church, that is the form for instructing children in the Christian faith (Le catéchisme de l’Eglise de Genève, c’est à dire Le formulaire d’instruire les enfans en la Chrestienté), the French version of it appearing in 1542 and the Latin in 1545.
This catechism is more clearly pedagogical than the previous one and adopts the question and answer form so that it becomes more of a dialogue between a minister and child as opposed to straightforward interrogation. It is even more clearly structured than the first Catechism and is divided into four parts. The opening states that man’s sole purpose is to honour God. The first part then deals with the necessity of trusting God and exposes faith and the Apostles’ Creed. The second part deals with the Law, first and foremost the Decalogue, and the necessity of doing God’s will by obeying the Ten Commandments. The third part deals with prayer and the necessity of invoking and worshipping God directly by the Lord’s Prayer. The final section deals with the sacraments, another way of worshipping and honouring God. Calvin’s second Catechism displaced all other Reformed Catechisms until 1563 and the appearance of the Heidelberg Catechism.
That being said, when we talk about the predecessors to the Heidelberg Catechism we should not forget Jan Laski’s Emden Catechism of the Strangers’ Church in London of 1551. Originally written for the Emden Calvinist community in 1546, it was carried to England by its author Jan Laski (d. 1560) when he took refuge there in 1550. Jan Utenhove translated it from the Latin into Dutch to facilitate the instruction of Dutch children in the London refugee congregation. An abridgement in 94 questions of this longer version (250 questions) was authorised by the elders of the Emden Congregation in 1554. The pattern of both the versions is the by now standard pattern of the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer and the sacraments.
It devotes a considerable amount of space to the exposition of the three persons of God. The second part on grace emphasises faith as condition of obtaining God’s grace through Christ. The third part stresses the necessity of invoking God at all times through the Lord’s Prayer and the fourth part focuses on the sacraments. The fourth part states that Christ is spiritually present in the Eucharist and “in the supper we receive spiritual food and drink, in themselves comprising the communion of the true body and blood of Christ.” This is a reaffirmation of Calvin’s position on Christ’s spiritual presence in the elements as opposed to Zwingli’s doctrine of the purely symbolic presence of Christ and the merely commemorative value of the elements. The Emden Catechism enjoyed a more modest degree of fame than Calvin’s second Catechism but both were to serve as model for authors of the Heidelberg Catechism.
History of the Heidelberg Catechism
Protestantism was introduced into the Palatinate in 1545 under the elector Frederick II who swung between Catholicism and a Lutheran position before finally celebrating the Lord’s supper in both kinds in 1554. After the Interim he was succeeded in 1556 by the non-doctrinaire Lutheran Otto Heinrich who staffed the newly reformed University of Heidelberg with Lutheran and Zwinglian theologians alike. On his death in 1559, the new elector Frederick III gradually swung from the Lutheran to a more Calvinist position as was evident from the new appointments at the University of Heidelberg.
The Heidelberg Catechism was supposed to mark a significant step in this direction especially in view of the renewal of the Calvinist-Lutheran controversy over the question of Christ’s bodily presence in the Eucharist and the doctrine of the ubiquity of Christ’s body, which the Lutherans affirmed and the Calvinists denied.
Frederick III opted for resolution of the conflict in favour of the Calvinist/Reformed side, feeling that moderate Lutheranism such as practised by his predecessors produced too many conflicts. He reorganized the College of Wisdom (Collegium Sapientiae, founded by his predecessor) as a theological school, and put at its head (1562) Zacharias Ursinus, a former pupil and friend of Melanchthon, turned Calvinist since his student days. In order to put an end to religious disputes in his dominions, he determined to put forth a Catechism which would also act as a confession of faith, and entrusted the preparation of it to Ursinus (just named) and perhaps to Caspar Olevianus, for a time professor in the University of Heidelberg, then court preacher to Frederick III.
Olevianus’ part in the composition of the Catechism can be neither proved nor categorically disproved according to the latest studies. Ursinus/Olevianus made use, of course, of the existing catechetical literature, such as the catechisms of Calvin, Melanchthon and Jan Laski. He or they prepared sketches or drafts, and the final preparation was completed with the co-operation of Frederick III.
When the Catechism was completed, Frederick laid it before a synod of the superintendents of the Palatinate (December, 1562). After careful examination it was approved. The first edition appeared in 1563. The preface, signed by the elector Frederick, is dated from the 19th January of that year. A Latin version appeared in the same year, translated by Johannes Lagus and Lambertus Pithopeus. The German version is the authentic standard. Two other editions of the German version appeared in 1563.
What is now the eightieth question (What difference is there between the Lord’s Supper and the Roman Mass?) is not to be found in the first edition; part of it appears in the second edition; and in the third, of 1563 — it is given in full as follows: „What difference is there between the Lord’s Supper and the Popish Mass? The Lord’s Supper testifies to us that we have full forgiveness of all our sins by the one sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which he has accomplished on the cross once and for all; and that by the Holy Ghost we are engrafted into Christ, who with his true body is now in heaven at the right hand of the Father, and is to be there worshipped. But the Mass teaches that the living and the dead have not forgiveness of sins through the sufferings of Christ, unless Christ is still offered for them daily by the priest; and that Christ is bodily present under the form of bread and wine, and is therefore to be worshipped in them. (And thus the Mass at bottom is nothing else than a denial of the one sacrifice and passion of Christ, and an accursed idolatry.)”
The occasion for the introduction of this eightieth question appears to have been the decree of the Council of Trent „touching the sacrifice of the Mass,” Sept. 17, 1562. This declaration, caused the elector to feel that a strong and clear declaration on the Protestant side was necessary. The first edition of 1563 was for a long time lost; that given by Niemeyer (Collectio Confessionum, p. 390) is the third of that year. But in 1864 pastor Wolters found a copy and reprinted it, with a history of the text (Der Heidelb. Katechismus in seiner ursprünglichen Gestalt, Bonn, 1864), which cleared up all doubt as to the various editions of 1563.
Other editions appeared in 1571 and 1573, and in this last the questions are divided, as now, into lessons for fifty-two Sundays, and the questions are numbered. An abstract of the Catechism appeared in 1585.
The larger Catechism has since been republished by millions and has been translated into most vernacular languages over and over again. After publication, it soon spread abroad wherever the Reformed Church had found footing, especially in North Germany and parts of Switzerland. Besides the original Latin version, a translation into the Dutch language by Petrus Dathenus and another into Saxon-German appeared within a year.
The English Turner edition, used in the Anglican Church, appeared in 1567. This was followed by translations into Hungarian in 1567, French in 1570, Scottish in 1571, Hebrew in 1580, and Greek in 1597. The Polish translation by Andrzej Prasmovius (d. 1592), minister of the Czech Brethren and co-signatory of the Consensus of Sandomierz, followed some years later. The Dutch East India and West India Companies were zealous missionaries for the Heidelberg Catechism. Circling the globe with it, they prepared translations into Malay in 1623, Javanese in 1623, Spanish in 1628, Portuguese in 1665, Singhalese in 1726, and Tamil in 1754. In the nineteenth century, the Dutch Reformed Church in America prepared translations into Amharic, Sangiri, Arabic, Persian, Chinese, and Japanese.
The Heidelberg Catechism was adopted by the Scottish Church in 1571 and by the great ecumenical Synod of Dort in 1618-19. It is to this day an authoritative confession for the German and Dutch Reformed churches. Moreover, the Dutch Reformed Church directs all her ministers to explain the Catechism regularly before the congregations during the Sunday service.
The text. The shorter version of the Catechism, in its present form most likely written by Ursinus sometime in 1562, independently of the longer version, consists of 108 very brief questions and answers while the longer version contains 315 identically structured chapters, better described as short paragraphs. In fact the shorter version was much more apt than the long full version for use as a confession of faith. Both the versions are divided into three parts:
Of the misery of man.
Of the redemption of man.
Of the gratitude due to God by man (duties, etc.).
Interestingly enough, the Decalogue is treated not under the first but under the third heading in the longer version. The focus of both the versions on the condition of the human, as opposed to the centrality and sovereignty of God, makes it more user-friendly and more likely to console and give hope than Calvin’s Catechism. It does not mention technical, theological issues such as predestination and the only controversial points are the question 80 cited above and the implicit but still very clearly formulated denial of the Lutheran doctrine of Christ’s bodily presence in the Eucharist questions 300-309 of the longer version of the Catechism, of which we cite an example:
“308. What then is the meaning of Christ’s words when he says the bread is his body and the wine is his blood?
That both the bread we eat and the wine we drink are a sign and testimony to believers that the body and blood of Christ were given and shed and are communicated to us through faith, just as surely as we partake of the bread and the wine with the bodily mouth.”
This relatively small place given to controversy guarantees the unifying powers of the document within the Reformed context and possibly beyond. However, it was not until 1972 that Lutherans and Calvinists finally managed to reach an agreement on the issue of Christ’s bodily presence in the eucharist. The Catechism, however, did become the standard document for all Reformed Christians, and it is as such that it survives in some Reformed communities to this day.
What does it have to say to other Christian believers and non-believers alike? I should like to suggest that the extreme brevity of the chapters and the upbeat style of the document as well as its focus on the human condition, as opposed to Calvin’s insistence on man’s total dependence on and subjection to the fundamentally unknown and all-powerful God, make the Heidelberg Catechism a religious document likely to instill hope into all humans who are willing to believe that there is a personal divine power looking after their basically wretched condition. It is not for nothing that it was diffused world-wide although it was not originally intended as a missionary document. Its message of hope, expressed in a formulaic manner goes far beyond any confessional context as the opening words of the long version of the Catechism show:
“1.What firm comfort do you have in life and death?
That I was created by God in his image for eternal life, and after I willingly lost this in Adam, out of his infinite and gracious mercy God received me into his covenant of grace, so that because of the obedience and death of his Son sent in the flesh, he might give me as a believer righteousness and eternal life. He also sealed this covenant in my heart by his Spirit, who renews me in the image of God and cries out in me ‘Abba, Father’ by his Word and by the visible signs of this covenant.”
The authors. Olevianus (perhaps co-author) and Ursinus (author).
Caspar Olevianus one of the founders of the Reformed Church of Germany, was born on August 10, 1536, near Trier and he died on 15 March 1587 in Herborn. Caspar’s early education was obtained in his native town. In his fifteenth year he was sent to Paris to study law. At the schools of that city and of Orleans and Bourges he spent seven years. In 1557 he obtained the degree of doctor of laws at Bourges. During his studies in France he became acquainted with the Reformed theology, and imbibed both its principles and spirit. In 1558 he went to Geneva to study theology, and while in Switzerland entered into intimate association with the Reformers Calvin, Beza, Farel, Bullinger, and Vermigli. He returned to Trier and commenced his ministry there early in the year 1559. After the suppression of the Reformation in Trier, he went to Heidelberg as court preacher and professor of philosophy.
Indeed, Olevianus laboured with zeal for the complete organization of the Church in the Palatinate, entertaining well-grounded hopes that it might become a nursery for “pure doctrine” for the whole of Germany. He turned his attention especially to the calling of competent preachers and teachers, of whom there was yet a pressing need; and scarcely was he a quarter of a year in Heidelberg when he wrote to Calvin, requesting him to send over the Order and Discipline of the Church at Geneva, that he might lay them before the consistory for examination and adoption, which, in regard to Church government, favoured his views. Calvin sent him the outlines of the Genevan Church polity, together with suggestions for enforcing it. In 1570, the demands of Olevianus to entrust the church as opposed to civil authorities with enforcing ecclesiastical discipline found the elector’s hearing.
Frederick III instituted presbyters in every congregation, entrusting to them expressly and independently the administration of the Church government and exercise of discipline. However, the individual members of the presbytery, who, from their principal vocation, were called censors, were in no case to be elected by single congregations, but were appointed for life by the higher judicatories. After the elector’s death, the Palatinate became Lutheran again and Olevianus was suspended from his office of pastor and professor. He therefore moved to Berleburg, and in 1584 to Herborn where he died in 1585.
Zacharias Ursinus (18 July 1534 – 6 May 1583) was a Reformed theologian, born Zacharias Baer in Wroclaw. He became the leading theologian of the Reformed Protestant movement of the Palatinate, serving both at the University of Heidelberg and the College of Wisdom (Collegium Sapientiae).
At age fifteen he enrolled at the University of Wittenberg, boarding for the next seven years with Philipp Melanchthon, the erudite successor of Martin Luther. Like many young scholars of that era he gave himself a Latin name, one that was based on his German name, Baer, stemming from Latin ursus, meaning bear. Melanchthon admired young Ursinus for his intellectual gifts and his spiritual maturity, commending him to mentors throughout Europe. He was a lifelong protégé of the prominent imperial physician Johannes Crato von Krafftheim, who likewise hailed from Wroclaw.
Subsequently Ursinus studied under Reformation scholars at Strasbourg, Basel, Lausanne, and Geneva. Sojourns in Lyon and Orléans gave him expertise in Hebrew. Returning to Breslau he published a pamphlet on the sacraments, which aroused the ire of Lutherans who charged him with being more Reformed than Lutheran. The Wroclaw opponents’ vitriolic reaction succeeded in driving him out of the city to Zürich, where he became friends with Zwingli’s successor Heinrich Bullinger and the Italian Reformer Peter Martyr Vermigli. In 1561, upon Vermigli’s recommendation, Frederick III, Elector Palatine, appointed him professor in the Collegium Sapientiae at Heidelberg, where in 1562/63, having been commissioned by the Prince elector, he supplied the preliminary drafts for the Heidelberg Catechism and participated in the final revision of the document alongside other theologians and church leaders.
The death of the Elector Frederick and the accession of the Lutheran Ludwig IV in 1576, led to the removal of Ursinus, who occupied a professorial chair at the Casimirianum a Reformed academy at Neustadt an der Weinstraße from 1578 until his death. He died, aged 48, in Neustadt an der Weinstraße. His Works were published in 1587-1589, and a more complete edition by his son and two of his pupils, David Pareus and Quirinius Reuter, in 1612. Ursinus’s collected catechical lectures (Het Schatboeck der verclaringhen over de Catechismus) was one of the most prominent theological handbooks among seventeenth century Reformed Christians and was especially popular in the Netherlands.

In a globe characterised by chaos and uncertainty, the search for inner peace and spiritual enlightenment becomes progressively vital. “A Training course in Miracles” (ACIM) emerges as a guiding mild for individuals on a quest for further comprehending and private transformation. This article delves into the essence of ACIM, discovering its foundational principles and the profound effect it has on folks who embrace its teachings.
ACIM, at first channeled by Dr. Helen Schucman and Dr. William Thetford in the seventies, transcends the typical boundaries of religious teachings. It contains 3 essential components: the Textual content, the Workbook for Students, and the Guide for Academics. The Text establishes the theoretical groundwork, presenting metaphysical principles and principles. The Workbook for Students consists of 365 classes created to shift perception and dismantle ingrained believed designs. The Manual for Instructors offers practical guidance on implementing ACIM ideas in each day life.
At the core of ACIM is the concept that the perceived planet is an illusion—a projection of the egoic head that obscures our correct nature. The course advocates for forgiveness as a transformative instrument, urging men and women to release judgments and grievances, equally in the direction of on their own and others. This act of forgiveness, according to ACIM, opens the door to the miraculous by clearing the route for really like to stream freely.

By means of constant apply, men and women have interaction in thoughts training—a essential factor of the transformative journey inside ACIM.
Moreover, ACIM emphasizes the significance of neighborhood and help on this spiritual path. Numerous practitioners uncover power and encouragement by collaborating in review groups or online communities dedicated to ACIM. Sharing acim , struggles, and experiences with like-minded people enhances the transformative journey, fostering a feeling of relationship and mutual expansion.
In summary, “A System in Miracles” offers a extensive and transformative manual to individuals searching for inner peace and self-realization.

As any parent of a food allergic child knows, children attending school is one of the more difficult parts. That is why I was intrigued by the book "Taking Food Allergies to School." It is written specifically for children about this issue.
Synopsis of the Story
The story is about Jeffrey, a child with multiple food allergies, including milk, peanuts, corn, strawberries, and wheat. The book opens with Jeffrey being ill from something he ate. Through this, the author describes Jeffrey's symptoms, including breathing problems, a stomach ache, and hives.
The authors stresses the fact that Jeffrey is "just like every other kid" since he play sports and other fun activities. Jeffrey, however, does have food allergies. From this, the author goes into a rather detailed explanation of an allergic reaction on a level that a child (depending on their maturity level) would most likely be able to understand on an elementary level.
The the story continues with how Jeffrey stays safe at school, including calling home if he is unsure of the safety of a food.
At the end of the book there are several bonus features:
- A pizza recipe that is free of several allergens.
- A quiz for students to take to help reinforce their food allergy knowledge after hearing the story
- 10 tips for teachers to help further their food allergy knowledge
First, I will say I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The story itself is not spectacular. However, the extra information the book provides is.
I really enjoyed the detailed explanation of what happens during an allergic reaction. There were terms like "mast cells" and "histamine" that are the correct terminology.
The book is listed as a target age of 5-10 years. At first, I thought it might be a little deep for Tyler (he will be 5 next month) but, on second thought, he is a very aware kid. He asks intelligent questions all the time about health issues and about his peanut allergy. Giving him terms and a more detailed explanation in a language that he can relate to might not be a bad thing.
The other thing I really enjoyed was the bonus features at the end. The pizza recipe did not look outstanding but is a great starting point for people that have never been introduced to food allergies.
The quiz for kids was very good. If this was read to a classroom of kids, it would be a great tool for reinforcement about the new information they just learned.
The information for the teacher was also good. Even though I think a lot of teachers are more aware of these things than they were even a few years ago, I am often shocked at stories I hear of how some don't get it in the least. The culprit is probably a lack of education.
This book is certainly worth buying. I think having several food allergy books in the library of a child with a peanut allergy is important.
I think this book would also be a great donation to your peanut allergy kid's classroom. It is a way to educate the whole class without being "the mean food allergy mom."

Exploring art as a tool of healing, the book “Mindscapes” brings together the perceptions of young minds with special needs
Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], February 22: It is a well-known fact that art and creativity are effective therapeutic tools for kids with special needs. With Notion Press, India’s fastest-growing self-publishing company, renowned researcher Dr. Neena Rao has published her most recent book, Mindspaces, which explores the same topic.
Demonstrating feelings through creative pursuits is a beautiful opportunity for special-needs children to connect with their emotions. It’s also a proven process to reduce their anxiety and stress. The book explores the role of artistic expression as a powerful healing tool. Entries include a variety of artistic mediums; poetry, paintings, sketches, stories, etc., and bring together the thoughts, emotions, and perceptions of these young minds; children, and young adults with special needs.
The themes of these art pieces are a sincere expression of ideas that explore the heartfelt stories of children and young adults with special needs.
Dr. Rao has years of diverse national and international experience in academia, research, training, and implementing developmental projects. Her multidisciplinary training spans economics, history, natural resource management policies, and environmental governance. Her experience is diverse, having worked with diverse groups ranging from Native Americans, African Americans, and Latin Americans in the US, to the indigenous peoples of Nagaland, the Andaman Islands, and the interiors of AP and MP in India.
After learning that her son had Asperger’s Syndrome, Neena decided to leave her twenty-year career in education and development and found Margika, an NGO that promotes mental health awareness, inclusive education, and other services for children with special needs.
“My NGO, Margika, works towards creating an environment of multi-pronged care for those with mental and developmental disorders in India. Mindscapes is a very special book for me as it lets the reader dive into the mind of someone with special needs. The essays are written by the children themselves, as well as family members, siblings, and parents, to give the reader a glimpse into the world of families with special children,” says Dr. Rao, who previously worked as the Director of Projects & Partnerships; South Asia Coordinator; and an elected Member of the Governing Board of CapNet, UNDP – A Global Network for Water Resource Management.
