Download or read book FINDING SAVOONGA written by Doris D. Ray and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEVER IN THEIR WILDEST DREAMS did the young couple imagine their teaching careers would begin in a remote Yupik Eskimo village on a desolate, icy, wind-swept island in the Bering Sea. It was 1951. On a whim, Charles “Tod” and his fiancé, Doris Derby, answer a help-wanted ad seeking teachers in Alaska. Back comes a telegram from the Bureau of Indian Affairs offering jobs 3,000 miles away in Savoonga, population 250, on St. Lawrence Island. The village had no airport, no roads, no telephones, and little contact with the outside world. The Rays arrive in a walrus skinboat. “Our lives have become so vastly different from anything we have ever experienced!” Doris writes her mother. Thus begins one of many candid, evocative letters Tod and Doris write describing their experiences being two of only three white people in the village … melting ice for water … teaching children who speak no English … forming close friendships with villagers who welcome them warmly … fighting a frightening measles epidemic … and receiving groceries by ship once a year while villagers hunt walrus for survival. Finding Savoonga is illustrated with 110 color photographs illustrating a self-sufficient, pre-industrial society subsisting on food from the sea.

Download or read book SIKU: Knowing Our Ice written by Igor Krupnik and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By exploring indigenous people’s knowledge and use of sea ice, the SIKU project has demonstrated the power of multiple perspectives and introduced a new field of interdisciplinary research, the study of social (socio-cultural) aspects of the natural world, or what we call the social life of sea ice. It incorporates local terminologies and classifications, place names, personal stories, teachings, safety rules, historic narratives, and explanations of the empirical and spiritual connections that people create with the natural world. In opening the social life of sea ice and the value of indigenous perspectives we make a novel contribution to IPY, to science, and to the public

Book Synopsis A Primer in Pastoral Care by : Jeanne Stevenson-Moessner
Download or read book A Primer in Pastoral Care written by Jeanne Stevenson-Moessner and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on her twenty years of teaching and on her own experience in pastoral care, Jeanne Stevenson-Moessner has written a basic pastoral-care text to assist in the emotional and spiritual preparation of pastoral caregivers. Stevenson-Moessner expands on her key notion of pastoral care as seen through the interconnection and interplay of love of God, love of neighbor, and love of self. Her brief book is meant to engender "confidence and caring" in the initiate, and to assuage the fear and anxiety that naturally occur when one accompanies people in life-changing pain and travail. Through skilled use of the parables of the Good Samaritan and the Good Shepherd, along with stories from her own experience, Stevenson-Moessner imparts genuine wisdom and meaningful support to those who courageously dare to offer caregiving ministry in whatever situation or through whatever method or paradigm. Her work unfolds in six chapters: 1. Introduction: The One-Room Schoolhouse 2. Pointers and Precepts: The Grammar of Care 3. The Prism of Pastoral Care: Scripture Refracted 4. Paradigms in Pastoral Care: The Community as Classroom 5. The Open Classroom: Places of Care 6. Conclusion: An Alphabet of Grace
