The Gero Crucifix was displayed surrounded by golden rays as if visualizing the triumphal second coming of Messiah. In a similar connection, the “Vladimir Madonna” which is often cited as the icon of contemplatives teaches about the human condition ...

I ran toward the door and came down the stairs. I rushed down to the kitchen and saw that she had fallen down on ...

He had on an Ascot cap, and his arms rested on the straps of the backpack. He looked young, fit as a fiddle and not a day above forty. But she knew better.

As a Muslim, who has never gained any interest in Christianity, I was involved in an observation and an interview in regards to the Christian culture. In this regards, I explored the Christianity cultural service of baptism for the participant observation. The event took place in the morning.

Introduction

BC Journal 10: The chapter brings a keen and explanatory view of issues as regarding to the antagonistic aspects in the book. For example ‘release'. Personally, I think along the same line with ‘The Giver' in that, endorsing ‘release' is one of the absolute lessons Jonas must absorb in his alleyway toward wisdom. I further echo the views that through exposure, Jonas would be able to have a vivid and a wider view regarding the radical and dynamic society in which he lives.

History

When we had a new neighbour arrive a few years back, no one in the family paid any more attention to them, than they would when crossing the road.
