Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Wheeler Mission demonstrates the amazing things that can be accomplished by dedicated men and women who follow Gods leading in their lives. Beginning with the life of founder William Wheeler, the book reviews the history and growth of one of the oldest and most respected faith based social services organizations in Indianapolis. Like any organization, the Mission had to struggle through difficult times as it addressed the changing demographics and needs of those individuals who walked through its doors. Wheeler Mission also adapted as needed to remain relevant in the ever changing world of the last century and a quarter. Yet through it all, faithfulness to the Christian message of caring for those less fortunate, both physically and spiritually, allowed the organization to not only persevere, but, through the grace of God, thrive. The book explores the historical heritage of the Mission itself, and shares compelling stories of the individuals that have been served through its outreach to the most vulnerable of the community of Indianapolis.

Book Synopsis To Live upon Hope by : Rachel Wheeler
Download or read book To Live upon Hope written by Rachel Wheeler and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two Northeast Indian communities with similar histories of colonization accepted Congregational and Moravian missionaries, respectively, within five years of one another: the Mohicans of Stockbridge, Massachusetts (1735), and Shekomeko, in Dutchess County, New York (1740). In To Live upon Hope, Rachel Wheeler explores the question of what "missionary Christianity" became in the hands of these two native communities. The Mohicans of Stockbridge and Shekomeko drew different conclusions from their experiences with colonial powers. Both tried to preserve what they deemed core elements of Mohican culture. The Indians of Stockbridge believed education in English cultural ways was essential to their survival and cast their acceptance of the mission project as a means of preserving their historic roles as cultural intermediaries. The Mohicans of Shekomeko, by contrast, sought new sources of spiritual power that might be accessed in order to combat the ills that came with colonization, such as alcohol and disease. Through extensive research, especially in the Moravian records of day-to-day life, Wheeler offers an understanding of the lived experience of Mohican communities under colonialism. She complicates the understanding of eighteenth-century American Christianity by demonstrating that mission programs were not always driven by the destruction of indigenous culture and the advancement of imperial projects. To Live upon Hope challenges the prevailing view of accommodation or resistance as the two poles of Indian responses to European colonization. Colonialism placed severe strains on native peoples, Wheeler finds, yet Indians also exercised a level of agency and creativity that aided in their survival.

Book Synopsis William Almon Wheeler by : Herbert C. Hallas
Download or read book William Almon Wheeler written by Herbert C. Hallas and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An American success story about the life of William Almon Wheeler, a poor boy from Northern New York who became the nineteenth Vice President of the United States. William Almon Wheelers life is an American success story about how a poor boy living near the Canadian border in Malone, New York, achieved fame and fortune. Often referred to as the New York Lincoln, Wheeler was a lawyer, banker, railroad president, state legislator, five-term congressman, and the nineteenth Vice President of the United States under Rutherford B. Hayes. Using a variety of sources, including newspapers, letters, government reports, county histories, and biographies of Wheelers contemporaries, Herbert C. Hallas examines Wheelers role in shaping state and national public policy. Highlights include construction of the North Country and transcontinental railroads, the creation of the Adirondack and Niagara Falls state parks, the extension of voting rights in New York, the termination of racial civil war in Louisiana, and the curtailment of unnecessary government spending. The book traces Wheelers path as he wound his way through the minefields of county, state, and national politics and helped found the Republican Party, without compromising his integrity or religious principles. Hallas rescues Wheelers story from the dustbin of history. Along the way he debunks long-held myths about Wheeler and restores his place as an influential nineteenth-century political force.

Book Synopsis You've Gotta Have Heart by : Cass WHEELER

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know that the definition for success in the corporate world is fairly straightforward. To be considered great, companies first need to turn a profit. For organizations in the social sector, however, the challenge is much bigger. To be truly effective, they must stay relevant and, above all, stay true to their mission. For the past thirty-five years, Cass Wheeler has ensured that the American Heart Association has fulfilled its calling to save lives and educate the public about heart disease by adopting some of the same strategies used in the for-profit sector. In You’ve Gotta Have Heart, he shows people at all levels of a nonprofit how to make sure their hard work really pays off. Using examples of some of the American Heart Association and others, Wheeler reveals the leadership skills that will help employees, volunteers, and board members excel at their jobs, become good role models, and build a more visionary, creative, and disciplined nonprofit organization. Readers will discover: why a mission statement is not the same as a sense of mission • the characteristics of successful nonprofit leaders • how to combine the nonprofit mission with the management lessons of the business world • how to define an organization’s core values and business model Filled with honest, practical, and thoughtful lessons from the author’s own experience, this book will ensure that nonprofits of every size continue to do great and be great.

Book Synopsis The River Basin in History and Law by : Ludwik A. Teclaff
Download or read book The River Basin in History and Law written by Ludwik A. Teclaff and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fresh water is one of man's most vital needs. The distribution of water within river basins has a direct bearing on the organization of water resources development to meet this ever-expanding need. River basins, despite their very great diversity in other respects, have one physical characteristic in common: each is a more or less self-contained unit within whose bounds all the surface and part or all of the ground waters form an interconnected, interdependent system. This inter dependence has such far-reaching implications - for pollution and flood control, apportionment of supply, relations between upstream and downstream riparians, to mention only a few examples - that the river basin has become almost universally accepted (within the past 20 or 30 years at least) as the unit of optimal water resources de velopment. Professor Teclaff's work (which was originally submitted to the New York University School of Law as a doctoral dissertation) is the first fully developed response to the important resolution passed by the International Law Association at its New York meeting in I958 recognizing the legal nature of the international river basin. His study quite properly, therefore, poses the question whether the adoption of the river basin unit is a temporary phenomenon, reflecting the current stage of technology and of administrative, economic, and legal thought on water resources development, or whether the de terminative influence of the river basin's physical unity which has always operated in the past will continue to operate in the future.
