Transformational Growth
Preparing Leaders for the Church of 2025 and Beyond
Meeting with students in Covenant Groups is only the beginning of our faculty's commitment to walking with students during their studies. Professors also collectively spend more than 1,500 hours each semester instructing and mentoring students one-on-one. With an average of 7 years of pastoral ministry experience prior to joining our faculty, professors not only bring expertise in their fields, but also model the kind of shepherding that we hope will mark students' future ministries.
We profess and proclaim the historic Christian faith as revealed in Scripture and summarized in the Apostles' Creed and the Statement of Faith of the National Association of Evangelicals. The Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms, although subordinate to the Bible in their authority, set forth our understanding of biblical truth in a consistent, concise, and reliable form. We also seek to help students articulate these truths clearly, defend them reasonably, and live them out graciously as they experience the transforming impact of the gospel in their lives.
Covenant Seminary aims to be a place where students experience the transformative nature of the gospel in their own lives within the structure of thoughtful curriculum and pedagogy, and with the support of the Covenant community. Weekly Covenant Groups, for example, offer one opportunity for students to process together the highs and lows of their journey toward Christ-likeness under the care of faculty/staff mentors as they prepare to take the gospel to others.
The inspired and inerrant Word of God has the power to transform hearts and lives, and as such, it is at the center of our curriculum. Through a framework of covenant theology, students learn to study the Bible in its original languages, appropriately interpret the Bible as it was written to specific people at specific points in history, and effectively apply its timeless truths in various contemporary ministry contexts.
Ministry In Context
Learning happens at the intersection of theory and praxis, which is why field education is a significant aspect of many of our degree programs. Covenant Seminary is surrounded by more than 25 PCA churches, as well as Acts 29, EPC, E-Free, and other denominations, and through partnerships with these churches, students are able to further hone their ministry skills and identify their gifts while putting their classroom learning to practice in meaningful ways. MDiv students are often able to put their field ed hours toward internship requirements for ordination.
Evangelism in context involves a great deal of cultural sensitivity and respectful dialogue. The late pastor, theologian, and apologist, Francis A. Schaeffer, has had a profound impact on the way we at Covenant Seminary think about and practice evangelism. Today, the Francis A. Schaeffer Institute (FSI), chaired by Professor Jerram Barrs, exists to train God's servants to demonstrate compassionately and defend reasonably the claims of Christ upon the whole of life. FSI offers annual lecture series, as well as regular events each semester. Keep up with FSI events through The Thistle.
Our graduates currently minister in all 50 states and 40 countries, which is one mark of our commitment to prepare students to minister in various contexts. With its rich cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity, St. Louis is a fertile training ground for students to develop a Kingdom perspective. One way that this takes place is through our City Ministry Initiative, which offers courses, seminars, and field education opportunities toward the goal of engaging in and reflecting on the practice of city ministry.
Covenant Seminary's curriculum emphasizes training in world mission that encourages students to see themselves as participants in God's mission to redeem the entire cosmos. Because communication of the gospel across cultures is an essential aspect of Christian world mission, we seek to help students cultivate an understanding of their own cultures, as well as those of others.
The W. Harold Mare Institute for Biblical and Archaeological Studies, named after the late Dr. W. Harold Mare (a founding trustee and longtime professor at Covenant Seminary), is a museum and research lab housed on campus. It features an extensive library of materials on biblical archaeology and hundreds of artifacts, most of which were excavated at Abila of the Decapolis by Dr. Mare and his teams over the past few decades. Excavations continue today under the direction of Dr. David Chapman, associate professor of new testament and biblical archaeology, who also serves as curator of the Institute.
Lifelong Learning
As part of our commitment to the church, we offer many opportunities and avenues for continuing education to vocational ministers as well as lay people. Now, Covenant Seminary alumni and their spouses—and anyone else—may audit any approved seminary course at the new low audit rate of $48 per credit hour. This is an amazing savings over the previous rate of $240 per credit hour and gives you access to a broader array of classes than before. To audit classes, you first need to apply to the Seminary through our online application process, and our Admissions staff will contact you with more information.
As an extension of our on-campus courses and lecture series, we offer more than 30 master's-level courses for FREE online and through the Covenant Seminary app for iPhone, iPad, and Android, as well as many special lectures, interviews with ministry practitioners, sermons, and Q+A's. Guest speakers include Tim Keller, Andy Crouch, Alistair Begg, Darrin Patrick, Chuck Colson, Derek Webb, Mark Dever, Christopher Wright, Sinclair Ferguson, J.I. Packer, Scotty Smith, Makoto Fujimura, and many more.
The Doctor of Ministry (DMin) program further equips pastors and other ministry leaders for ministry in their particular settings. Through a cohort-based learning model, participants will pursue specialized study in one area, such as educational studies, preaching and worship, leadership and mission, or a non-specialized track, while being guided by experienced faculty mentors through a core curriculum. The goal is to learn with and from other seasoned ministry practitioners in the context of trusted peer relationships. The program helps participants fully integrate scholarship with practice through seminar settings which offer thought-provoking, in-depth exploration of real-life ministry issues and challenges. See our DMin degree page for more details.
The Center for Ministry Leadership at Covenant Seminary has spent the better portion of the last decade seeking to understand and increase pastoral effectiveness through research and peer-based initiatives. Ongoing research on issues related to pastoral ministry, which has been funded in part by the Lilly Endowment Inc., has enabled CML to develop practices and principles that help the Seminary to prepare and sustain church leaders. These findings are also being published in a series of books by Intervarsity Press.

Few hours before arrival of former president Asif Ali Zardari in Karachi, Rangers personnel raided his close aide Anwar Majeed's offices in Karachi today (Friday), sources told.
The raids were conducted near National Stadium, Metropole and I.I. Chundrigar Road.
Four persons were detained while office records were also confiscated during the action.
In a separate raid in Clifton area, friend of Asif Ali Zardari's frontman Awais Muzaffar Tappi was detained.
Some analysts termed timing of the raid very crucial , which has sent a clear message to the PPP leadership.
PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari will land at Karachi's old Jinnah terminal around 3:00pm. The former president is returning to Pakistan after abruptly leaving the country in June last year following a hard-hitting speech.
The paramilitary Sindh Rangers have in the past said targeted operation in Karachi is necessary to break the cycle of violence and corruption in the metropolis.

WASHINGTON: US Senator John Kerry, who is also a President Obama's nominee for Secretary of State, has opposed a suggestion of cutting aid to Pakistan.
Kerry said that Pakistan had not been given enough credit for its assistance in the operation against Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad.
The US Senator was testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as part of his confirmation hearing. Kerry said American's were able to cooperate on the ground in Pakistan which was one the reasons they were able to get to Osama bin Laden.
Kerry also noted that Pakistan had lost nearly 6,000 people in the last year in their efforts to combat terrorists. He added that Pakistan had provided logistical support to the US during the war in Afghanistan.

Pensioner, 80, jailed for 18 years for acid attack on teen ex-girlfriend
A PENSIONER who arranged an acid attack on his teenage ex-girlfriend has been jailed for 18 years.
Vikki Horman, pictured before the attack, was 19 when she had acid thrown on her
Mohammed Rafiq, 80, hatched a plan to blame an innocent man before ordering the pre-planned assault on Vikki Horsman, who was 19 at the time of the attack.
Rafiq, of Smethwick, West Midlands, and co-defendants Steven Holmes and Shannon Heaps, were found guilty last week of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Jailing all three men at Wolverhampton Crown Court, Judge Nicholas Webb described the attack in Tividale, West Midlands, as a "wicked" act with grave consequences.
Holmes, 25, of Allan Close, Smethwick, was jailed for 14 years after a judge heard how he was paid just £50 to throw acid into the face of Miss Horsman.
Heaps, 23, of Queens Avenue, Tividale, was given a 12-year custodial sentence for his role in pointing out the property where the doorstep attack took place.
Rafiq showed no sign of emotion in the dock as Judge Webb described him as being old enough to be his victim's great-grandfather.
Miss Horsman was present in court to see the men being sentenced.
The care worker was sprayed with a corrosive liquid after answering the door to Holmes on April 15 this year, and later spent five days in intensive care after suffering burns to her face, neck and body.
Mohammed Rafiq was described by the judge as "jealous and angry"
She had decided she didn't want to continue her relationship with you and you became jealous and angry
Passing sentence, Judge Nicholas Webb told Rafiq, Heaps and Holmes: "Acid attacks are not uncommon in certain parts of the world.
"Thankfully, they are rare in England. Quite often they are to punish a woman who has refused to bow to the demands of a spouse.
"In such cases it is done to leave a permanent reminder of what happens when a woman rejects attempts to control her."
The judge pointed out that Miss Horsman was still only 20 and had been vulnerable when she met Rafiq following the death of both her parents.
Judge Webb told Rafiq: "She had decided she didn't want to continue her relationship with you and you became jealous and angry.
"You obtained the acid and left it at the front door of the house for Holmes to pick it up and throw."
Turning to Holmes, Judge Webb went on: "I have formed the view that you are callous and lacking in true remorse. As far as I can tell you have no real conscience.
"Once Vikki Horsman had identified herself, you threw acid at her.
"She has received excellent treatment, but she is still badly scarred. In a sense, she is fortunate in that she was not blinded."
Miss Horsman was left with "devastating" scars, the court heard
Defence barrister Andrew Baker, said of Rafiq: "What possessed him, apart from blind jealousy, for this act of madness no one can ever begin to imagine."
Holmes, described by his lawyer as being "hired help" and not the brains behind the attack, was reproached by the judge for smiling in the dock during the sentencing hearing.
Jas Mann, representing Heaps, told the court that his client had been subjected to threats while in prison after being wrongly identified in media reports as the offender who threw the acid.
A fourth defendant, 26-year-old Ceri Parkes, of Westfield Road, Smethwick, was jailed for 12 months for perverting the course of justice in the early stages of police inquiries into the crime.
Speaking after the the pensioner was jailed, Detective Constable Jason Moseley, of West Midlands Police, said: "This was a horrifying and complex case which centred on a controlling relationship.
"Rafiq's young ex-partner was seriously injured and left with devastating, lasting scars, which one can only presume was his intent, given the nature of the planned attack.
"He recruited two people to carry out the attack on his behalf and then tried to claim that he was also a victim.
"His victim now has to rebuild her life and move on from what was ultimately a controlling, abusive relationship that she paid a high price to leave."

Bill Smith, 81, has been mistaken for dead.
But it's nothing new for the North Texas resident.
A similar thing happened when he was stationed in Korea and got "mixed up with another guy that was William Earl Smith," he told KDFW-TV in Dallas.
Except this time the congenial man who lives in a trailer community in Sanger — about an hour north of Dallas — with his dog Mr. Baxter and beloved birds and roses is dealing with a bigger problem.
The bank apparently learned of his "death" and returned his social security check.
Smith got the disturbing news on Christmas Day when Meals on Wheels workers told him that they'd learned he was dead from reading an obituary.
"She kept looking and said directly, 'Oh, oh! You're on here deceased,'" Smith told KDFW, adding that "it was a little bit of a shock, but I knew I was still walking around."
Almost missing a meal wasn't nearly as hard as finding out that his social security check had been returned, a snafu Smith called "kinda messed up."
Neighbor Ray Deborde, glad the Smith isn't dead, couldn't agree more: "The government can mess up something in five minutes and take 'em six months to fix it, you know, if they ever fix it," he told KDFW.
As it happens, Smith comes from a long line of Earls, and this second case of mistaken-for-dead occurred partly because he was confused with a man who shared his first, middle and last names.
"He was actually William Earl Smith," Smith told KDFW. "Mine's William Earl Smith, my dad was Earl Smith, and his dad was Earl Smith."
Of the maddening turn of events, Smith is decidedly philosophical, adding with a laugh, "You never know what's gonna happen next."

This is Avalon Hill's game of Fantasy Adventure.
This game uses hexagonal modular map sections used in Avalon Hill's Magic Realm and later utilized in Mayfair's Catan, providing a different board layout for each game.
Map tile-sections are placed on a blank mapboard to make up the arrangement of the Enchanted Islands for that game.
Most of the game consists of performing various mini-quests by moving around the 18 islands to pick up marker counters for the specific quest.
Each quest adds to the 10 quest per fortnight (14 days) requirement. Failure to reach this total of quests among all players causes one of the 18 islands to be flipped over and taken out of the game.
In this way the players are competing mainly versus the game system.
Endgame consists of players racing against each other to be first to collect 6 Gem Fragments and take them to the High Druid.

A robust and thoughtful exploration of how family wellness (and not-so-wellness) affects the workplace. 35 pages, free download below.
From executive summary:
Employees in failing relationships cost employers money. There are substantial productivity declines for workers in failing relationships. These workers often have serious health concerns: increased stress and anxiety, increased rates of depression, and increased rates of substance abuse. These workers directly
cost companies in higher healthcare expenditures and indirectly through societal effects of broken families.
Conversely, employees in successful relationships increase profits for their employers. These workers are more stable, more committed to their employer, and are often considered more dependable and motivated. Employees in healthy relationships are also physically healthier, experiencing fewer chronic
health problems like stress, anxiety, and depression, saving companies money in overall health care expenditures.
When companies invest in the physical and relational wellness of their workers, returns on investment can range between $1.50 and $6.85 for every dollar spent on these types of programs.

Viafem Natural Herbal Sexual Enhancer for Women (2 Capsules)
Unsure, but aroused
Reviewed: 02 August 2014 by Foxxy, a Straight Engaged Female
I was asked to test these Viafem capsules for Lovehoney, a prospect which intrigued me, to be honest. I've always wondered what effect products such as these would have, and I was looking forward to giving them a test drive.
They arrived in a hard pink plastic box, not dissimilar to Compede-type blister plasters I've had in the past. Nestled inside the box lay two Viafem capsules in a normal tablet blister pack. The packaging impressed me, it would surely of been much cheaper for the manufacturers to simply use a cardboard box.
Sadly, though, the box arrived with very little information with it. I was hoping for a product leaflet to tell me more about the effects and ingredients, but there was nothing. No big issue though. I took to the internet and found the information I was looking for very easily. Viafem is a natural herbal product for women, supplied in capsule form, which is said to increase sexual arousal, aid lubrication and heighten stimulation. It apparently does this by increasing blood flow to the vagina. One capsule is to be taken 30 minutes before sexual activity, and the effects can apparently last in some women for up to 24 hours afterwards. It contains a blend of 8 different herbs, including Red Clove, Sage Leaf extract, Dong Quai and Ginger, and shouldn't be taken if you're pregnant, suffer with high blood pressure or heart conditions - If you're unsure in any way, it's always best to consult your GP to make sure Viafem is suitable for you to take. Alcohol can affect the results you get from taking Viafem, so excessive alcohol consumption is not advised.
Right, after finding out everything I wanted to know, there was nothing left to do but take a capsule with water and see what effect, if any, it had on me and my vagina!
I have to say, after the 30 minutes were up and me and my significant other got down to the business of sex, we had a fantastic time. I was incredibly aroused, very wet, and felt wonderfully stimulated. My vagina felt alive and strangely more plump than usual. After experiencing several orgasms (this isn't unusual for me though), we did the usual post sex things and then drifted off to sleep.
The following day whilst out shopping I had a sudden urge to go to the toilet, nothing out of the ordinary there, however what I found when I went to the toilet was very out of the ordinary - it was GREEN! Now initially I panicked a little bit, I couldn't remember chomping my way through a kilo of spinach, so I couldn't see a reason for my green waste, then I remembered the Viafem! After a little researching I discovered that it's not unusual to see this side effect when you've taken a strong herbal supplement, so with my mind at ease I got on with the rest of my day. Within a few hours, things were back to "normal" in that department thankfully, and I suffered no other unwanted side effects from taking Viafem.
The second and final capsule led to, yet again, amazing sex. By the time the 30 minute wait time was up, I was raring to go and chomping at the bit to get my fill. Again, very wet, very aroused and genuinely wondering about what these capsules were capable of doing to me.
Sadly, that's where my experiences with Viafem end, the two capsules that the box contained had gone, and I was left pondering their effectiveness. In reflection, I don't think that two capsules is enough to be able to test these properly, so I may purchase some more to see if further testing can answer some of the questions that using this product has raised for me. There's no doubt that I felt like these capsules did something for me at the time of me taking them. I wouldn't say that I felt any effects the following day, but I definitely did during our foreplay and love making.
Could it simply have been a placebo effect though? Yes, I do think that's possible, and I would certainly need to try it a few more times to try and rule this out. That said, even if it is a placebo effect, to me this still goes down as a win for Viafem. We all know that mind over matter can be a huge thing, and where you are mentally has a massive impact on your sex life. So if you're expecting this product to work for you, and because of that it does, then so be it.
Also, our sex sessions can vary greatly... sometimes it's fairly vanilla, gentle love making, other times we incorporate toys, bondage and the like. These factors could also potentially influence my arousal, or how wet I am. So although I genuinely felt a change in me after taking a Viafem capsule, I feel I'd need to test it a little more to say conclusively that they work. I can however say, without a doubt, that they can turn your poo green!
I think that these capsules could (potentially) be great to keep in, for a night when you want to perhaps turn your arousal and sexual performance up a notch. If they work for you, whether it be because of the ingredients or because it changes things for you subconsciously, then brilliant. I'm sat on the fence, leaning over into favouring the benefits of Viafem ... I just can't be 100% sure
- Pros
- Easy to take, tasteless capsules.
- Cons
- Having green poo after, although this isn't a major thing!
- Bottom line
- Certainly seemed to work, but with only two capsules it's hard to be sure.

The Noosphere: Our Call to Globalization of the Spirit
Louise Cowan, Ph.D.
When we speak of globalization, as we have been doing in this series of lectures, we are implicitly if not openly asking the question: How will it all end? For we have seen in our day a convergence of the world's forces that resembles nothing so much as explosion. What will be its outcome? This human enterprise, so bent on developing and extending what it knows, so concerned to carry its information to the four corners of the globe, so ready to broadcast even its inanities—will its long history turn out to have been pointless after all? Has it been simply a mindless development with no purpose other than material expansion? Have great cultural achievements all occupied only moments in a cosmic catastrophe that will end, as T. S. Eliot said, "not with a bang but a whimper"? If we are not destroyed by a huge intergalactic accident or a radical mistake on our own part (nuclear war, the depletion of natural resources, the destruction of our atmosphere) will it be mere entropy, cosmic ennui, lukewarmness–neither hot nor cold—that winds down all life in the cosmos? And, in the process, has our highest aim for this mysterious common enterprise that we call civilization been mere physical well being?–have we been struggling only for a world devoid of hunger, with a universally high standard of living, cessation of disease, war, crime, and poverty, and life expectancy extended enough to reach a state of absolute banality?
What has it all been for? Religious thinkers seem all too content to consider this huge cosmic enterprise a temporary way-station, to be finally obliterated. And the secular idea of progress has posited so many utopian dreams that the serious thinker has been repulsed at its shallowness, impelled, along with Dostoevsky's underground man, to resist such easy optimism by whatever means necessary, even perversity and irrationality. My mentors in this matter have been the writers in various small European and American literary resistance groups–the Russians, the Irish, the American Southerners—and now their counterparts among the post-colonials—who have tended to look with jaundiced eye upon the social philosophy of enlightenment, with its consequent technologizing of society. Fyodor Dostoevsky detested the worship of secular progress that was first introduced into Russia in the 18th century by Peter the Great. He decried both what he called "The Crystal Palace" (the self-congratulation attendant upon technological achievements)—and the Golden Age concept, so prevalent in the 19th century, viewing both as dangerous hankerings after a Utopian perfection that omits evil, pain, and suffering from its scan.
And I myself have had more than a modicum of distaste for what lies behind the gospel of progress—the metaphor of Evolution, which, as a dominant cultural paradigm, has fostered the notion of a purely mechanical process that ill applies to our views of the purposiveness of spirit. So how does one take seriously the concept of the noosphere, advanced by a Jesuit priest who was also an anthropologist /paleontologist, an evolutionist, long forbidden by the Church to teach or to speak publicly, a man who saw human beings as sharing a common consciousness and enveloped in a mutual realm of thought—the total mass impelled forward by a process of "amorization" toward an omega point where all will be united. The final end, as he saw it, was to be the realization of the Cosmic Christ, who embodies in matter the eternal glory of the Incarnation.
I am not a Teilhardian. But I have long recognized the poetic power of Teilhard's thought. Like Dante, or Milton, he has constructed a purposeful cosmos that we can visualize–one that gives shape to our concept of final things that otherwise remains nebulous and unformed. He makes us aware of the necessity of images to give our lives scope. We here at the Dallas Institute love to quote Coleridge's dictum about "the willing suspension of disbelief that constitutes poetic faith." We quote it because, as I believe, it is in this light that one speaks at the Dallas Institute. The aim here is cultural, neither political or religious, as it is also not technical or specialized–but thoughtful and exploratory, ranging into other fields than one's own.. Perhaps we could say that what we do here is polyphonic thinking, listening to the many voices of myth and imagination, along with the intellectual disciplines, avoiding the imprisonment of the univocal (the one voice, which establishes the hegemony of commonly accepted doxa).
It may be that the way in which we learn from others is to see their bodies of thought as "imaginary gardens with real toads in them," as Marianne Moore has described poetry. For it would be unlikely indeed for us to be able immediately to endorse the theories of thinkers who have devoted their entire lives to certain projects. They're quite likely to have worked through some aspects of their subjects that we have not before considered. So instead of the widely advocated "critical thinking" (which asks people to be skeptical of, and to resist, judging ideas as they go), the path of real learning, as I think we are agreed here at the Institute, is to remain radically open to the structures of new thought as interesting and necessary fictions for the attainment of fresh insights–which can then be evaluated in their own right. Insights in and of themselves carry with them their validation; they are capable of being recognized. But they need contexts, which are many times whole philosophical, aesthetic, and psychological systems that Donald Cowan has made us all think about as "mappings." We are not likely to share in advance a mapping made by a truly original mind.
And the mind of Teilhard de Chardin was an original mind. One of the toads contained in his garden is the idea of the noosphere. For Chardin, a biologist, the image of this ultimate human destiny seems irrevocably tied to the theory of evolution. I'm not certain that we have to be as dedicated evolutionists as he was in order to grasp his crowning insight; and in any event, that's not the part of the theory that is important to us tonight. Rather, I'd like us to concentrate on his ideas about our connection with each other, increasingly relevant in our era of globalization. In our time, in an epoch in which we are hurling our thoughts through space like so many missiles and have created something known as cyberspace—the worldwide Web—the concept of the noosphere seems particularly worth consideration.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, born in France in 1881, became a member of the Jesuit order when he was quite young, studied geology in England, became involved with work on the Piltdown man, eventually shown to be a hoax; he taught in Egypt for three years, went on digs; served in Europe in the trenches as a stretcher bearer during world War I; afterwards became an intellectual light in Paris and began publishing articles. The Catholic Church, however, was troubled by the way in which he seemed to confuse scientific and religious thought; he was forbidden, as a priest, to teach or to speak out in public or to publish; left Europe, went to China, became involved there in geological enterprises, continued as a loyal member of the Jesuit order, worked in the discovery of Peking Man; came to the United States; but was still forbidden to speak out in Europe. Though he was widely accepted among American intellectuals, he was lonely. Nevertheless, he kept his optimistic outlook. He wrote in 1946 (at the age of 65):
One would think that a single ray of this kind of light [he is referring to a belief in the spiritual connectedness of all humanity], falling anywhere on the Noosphere as a spark would cause an explosion strong enough to inflame and transform the face of the earth almost instantaneously. How can it be then that. . . , looking around me, still intoxicated by what has been shown to me [I] should find myself alone . . . the only one to have seen . . . the marvelous translucence that has so transfigured everything I see?(The Christic,1955
Teilhard's thought was closely examined and his orthodoxy established after Vatican II in 1963-4; he had died in 1955 (on Easter day); his writings, after they were finally published, had a brief vogue, a dubious reputation among Catholics, and absorption into the general cultural mix. There are Teilhard societies, publications extending his thought in both science and philosophy, poets and novelists who utilize his insights (most notable, perhaps, is the work of Flannery O'Connor, who took one of Teilhard's phrases, "everything that rises must converge" as the title of her volume of short stories. The theology advanced in Teilhard's two major works—The Phenomenon of Man and later The Divine Milieu—was optimistic, setting forth the idea of a Cosmic Christ toward which all things are moving, basing his vision on the thought of St Paul in such passages as:
The form of this world is passing away. (1 Cor 7:31)
the whole creation has been groaning in travail until now. (Rom 8:22) and St. Ambrose: "In him the heavens rose again; in him the earth."
But for our purposes I wish to concentrate on the idea of the noosphere, a word derived from the Greeknous, which refers to the higher intellect. Noosphere is a neologism, a coinage of this French Jesuit anthropologist-theologian-mystic, introduced to the world in the 1960s, though written about in 1925. Teilhard pointed out that what humans have that transcends the animal life of the biosphere is thought–thought that can take hold of itself, contemplate itself, know itself. The noosphere, as he wrote, has to do with the phenomenon of thought and spirit—"physically defined"by a certain tension of consciousness on the surface of the earth." (Human Energy, 1969, written in 1937). In the process of the development of matter, there was first the geosphere, then the biosphere, and finally a sphere in which all mental processes and feeling interact. He wrote, "this amounts to imagining in one way or another, above the animal biosphere, a human sphere, a sphere of reflection, of conscious invention, of conscious souls–the noosphere if you will. It concerns the spiritual unity of humanity: that envelope of thought and feeling that represents the higher state of matter." Evidence of this unity is to be found in the growth of a collective memory which is passed on through education; the development, through the increasingly rapid transmission of thought, of what is in effect a generalized nervous system; the growth of a faculty of common vision penetrating beyond the continuous and static world of popular conception and on into an invisible (and spiritual) realm.
The noosphere, then, as Teilhard thought of it, that layer of mind and thought spreading over the surface of the world, is the common inheritance of human beings, taught to them in their language and customs, reinforced by the lives they lead in society. As Teilhard wrote, "All around us, tangibly and materially, the thinking envelope of the Earth–the Noosphere–is adding to its internal fibres and tightening its network . . .What is really going on, under cover and in the form of human collectivisation, is the super organization of matter upon itself, which as it continues to advance produces its habitual, specific effect, the further liberation of consciousness."
In our time, of course, it has flourished in cyberspace–the world-wide web, as we have come to call it, acknowledging that it is like a web, covering our world and accessible to all. Thus far, we would argue, the internet is a material image of the noosphere; it has remained a mechanical device, a medium useful in the promulgation of research, making amazing reaches of knowledge available to those who before were never even apparently interested in learning. Whether the internet will become an instrument of the noosphere it is difficult to say. But the opportunity is there.
Poets and prophets have always known of the noosphere: they themselves, through what they called their Muse, had access to this obscure knowledge. But it had not expanded to the extent that it now has today, as part of the human realm. For the Greeks, the noosphere was Mt. Olympus, with the different bright gods embodying aspects of the higher intellect, the nous. The gods communicated easily with each other but only occasionally with the human race; and mortals could not have access to the conversation and the laughter of the bright gods. Only some people, with especially developed empathy, could apprehend the dynamics of this exchange. When Prometheus stole fire from heaven to give to mortals, it was the fire of knowing that he brought them–though he called it techne (the arts). But these were the arts of civilization; and they were communally shared, and they took their forms from the gods. So the myth of Prometheus, one of the shaping stories of Western civilization, is about the beginning of this fearfully important exchange that takes place in the realm of intellect and imagination. And a god who suffers for the deed wanted the human race to partake of this essentially spiritual knowledge.
Further, if we look for intuitions of this spiritual connection between human beings, we can see that the concept of kleos, the undying fame granted to heroes by poets, seems to indicate participation in the noosphere, for it is assumed by the Greek poets that heroic deeds exist in a shared realm that will live forever. There is also a domain of prophecy and oracles. (Aristophanes Birds seems to be about the construction of something like an internet between the gods and the human race.] There is a darker sphere, antithesis of the noosphere in which unspeakable crimes and criminal urges dwell (Cassandra could see into it when she saw the dead and mutilated children on the rooftop of Agamemnon's palace); Tiresias, the Theban prophet, could commune with this realm of darkness, wishing, it appears, that he did not have to see what he discovered there–the terrible secrets of other people's destinies.) Aeneas saw beyond the veil into that realm, where it was clear that the gods were working together to drive Troy down. The region from which this knowledge comes is the domain of what Teilhard would call "diminshments," which do not come together in the progress toward the omega point.. Yet it is distinct from the Underworld, the abode of the dead, who are cut off from human communication and only occasionally allowed to communicate with the living. But the point is, I think, that all societies before ours of the last four centuries have had some notion of a purposeful cosmos, with a divine life existing beyond the range of man's sight, through which thoughts and prayers, however, could penetrate.
But it is not solely in prophecy, legends, folklore, mythology–realms wherein spirits and humankind have an uncanny intercommunication– that the noosphere has been authenticated in the past. In general, the way in which knowledge has spread from continent to continent—cultural styles, techniques, skills—testifies to the existence of some bond of shared intelligence between people. As Teilhard wrote, "Like particles immersed in the same spiritual field, souls cannot think or pray or act or move without waves being produced . . . which set the others in motion."(Cosmic Life 48) Those who pray have always assumed that one person's interior acts can help another, that, in fact, they can change objective reality. Look for instance at this poem by the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas
. . "The Conversation of Prayer:
The conversation of prayers about to be said
By the child going to bed and the man on the stairs
Who climbs to his dying love in her high room,
The one not caring to whom in his sleep he will move
And the other full of tears that she will be dead,
Turns in the dark on the sound they know will arise
Into the answering skies from the green ground
From the man on the stairs and the child by his bed
The sound about to be said in the two prayers;
For the sleep in a safe land and the love who dies
Will be the same grief flying. Whom shall they calm?
Shall the child sleep unharmed or the man be crying?
The conversation of prayers about to be said
Turns on the quick and the dead, and the man on the stair
Tonight shall find no dying but alive and warm
In the fire of his care his love in the high room
And the child not caring to whom he climbs his prayer
Shall drown in a grief as deep as his made grave
And mark the dark-eyed wave, through the eyes of sleep
Dragging him up the stairs to one who lies dead.
This has always been for me a mysterious poem, grasped intuitively but not capable of rational explication. But the idea of the noosphere gives us some way in which to visualize what Thomas is depicting: Conversation means a turning with; the implication being that prayer enters a region where it is shared and used as needed. So the innocent child, who prays rather automatically, his prayer the simple one of asking for protection as he sleeps (Now I lay me down to sleep); this innocent child will through his prayer enter a region where griefs are shared, griefs beyond his years. He takes on then an anguish that he cannot comprehend, a grief "as deep as his made grave; and it is a "dark-eyed wave" that drags him "up the stairs to one who lies dead." We would gather that, for the boy, this is one of those moments after which he is changed; he has spiritually shared a suffering that he cannot comprehend and life will have been made deeper and heavier for him.. But he has made the burden lighter for the man who is "climbing to his dying love in her high room"–to find, miraculously, "no dying but his love alive and warm/In the fire of his love." The love which is the most important reality between lovers has not been extinguished. The man does not experience the crushing sense of loss, for the love, which is the most important reality between lovers, has not been extinguished.
Interestingly enough, it is the conversation of prayers about to be said that accomplishes this spiritual exchange, implying that it is that which precedes the spoken word or the formulated thought–that energy that leads to prayer–which is powerful enough and clear enough to accomplish in the noosphere a turning with, a conversation (there are implications here not only of exchange, but of dialogue). The spirits of the boy and the man converse, beyond age and circumstance, so that the soul of the one who needs comforting finds comfort; and the soul of the untroubled and innocent one is visited by a dark suffering.
Some of us have for some time believed that we can share each other's burdens, that there is a mysterious unity of feeling that can take place from time to time among us. And some of us even believe that the very thoughts of individual persons affect the universe–-that internal processes are the strongest modes of action. One's dreams and imaginings, not simply one's actions, change the world. Christians speak of "the communion of saints," and the Mystical Body in which all those in a state of grace participate. Dostoevsky's Fr. Zossima tells us that "each is responsible for all" and cites his dying brother Markel's asking forgiveness of the birds, stating, "If I had been better, they would have been happier." And Alyosha, Fr. Zossima's pupil, after undergoing his test of faith, is suddenly rewarded with a vision that unites the earth and sky, in a testimony to the efficacy of thought and prayer:
The vault of heaven, full of soft, shining stars, stretched vast and fathomless above him. The Milky Way ran in two pale streams from the zenith to the horizon. The fresh, motionless, still night enfolded the earth. The white towers and golden domes of the cathedral gleamed out against the sapphire sky. The gorgeous autumn flowers, in the beds round the house, were slumbering till morning. The silence of earth seemed to melt into the silence of the heavens. The mystery of earth was one with the mystery of the stars . . .
And, in this same novel, Fr. Zossima, the holy monk, declares in his testament: "Much on earth is hidden from us; but to make up for that we have been given a precious mystic sense of our living bond with the other world, with the higher heavenly world, and the roots of our thoughts and feelings are not here but in other worlds." (299)
But there are other kinds of evidence than that which poets and novelists provide: sudden shifts in taste, enveloping styles in the arts; and specific events such as the invention of the calculus by several thinkers at approximately the same time: (Leibnitz, Isaac Newton, Bernouli, and others.) In our day, psychics (at least some of them) give evidence of tapping in on this realm; the psychologist Rupert Sheldrake has done experiments in which he finds that people can work a crossword puzzle more quickly on Sunday than they can on Saturday, the day on which it first comes out. He draws the conclusion that its solution on one day makes it easier to solve on the second day. Countless feats of spiritualism in our day mimic this quite genuine–and traditional–belief that human beings commune with each other through their thoughts and prayers.
Teilhard saw this noosphere as growing and expanding. His faith in its existence dates from his time in Paris as a young priest who had served in the trenches in WWI. From the vantage point of the dreadful and apparently meaningless suffering he encountered, he pondered the outcome of human existence and was not content simply to be otherworldly, to relegate this realm to the status of a waystation or a vale of tears. He was concerned about the joint destiny of the human race. In a meditation called Le Grande Monade, not published until after his death, he discovered what he called the "organicity of the human race." In this piece "a sentry looks out, seeing the moon rising over the crest of the neighboring trenches. "Hail symbolic star!'" he says; watching it, he thinks to himself that the star which bears us, like the moon he is watching, detached itself long ago in space; and then that, after long ages, [the human] one day appeared on it; in a heroic campaign,[ human beings] gradually extended the strands of their network over the whole surface of the globe. A series of continually more serious crises marked their progress, but the time came when the human mass formed one single bloc. This was when the fluid mass set; and from this resulted the "great Monad"– the first name for the Noosphere. It is this great Monad that the sentry now sees rising 'above the torn and blackened earth.' He watches it ascending in glory. He hears the cry of triumph that rises from all these elements that have at last found unity. Before his eyes, man's earth is celebrating the unity it has won. But what thoughts does this arouse in the mind of the sentry? (By a tacit fiction, God is still absent from this universe.) He looks further ahead and sees that it will not be long before the great Monad will know the anguish of feeling itself shut in. As yet there has been no catastrophe. For the thinking Monad, final death has not yet come into sight. But already, from seeing itself now drifting helplessly into the spiritual void, from feeling heavy upon itself the 'burden of a final and total isolation,' heavier than any cataclysm, is being born a distress that is worse than death. [And even when the viewer considers that [the human race] might move on from star to star, there is finally the cold and frozen aspect of the moon, on which he is meditating, and he imagines a conversation of this sort with it:]
Work, you seem to be telling us [he says to the moon], work to your utmost, O men, to make your dwelling lovely and a fit habitation, throw yourself passionately into the search for what is hidden and the creation of beauty. For what awaits you, too, you and your works, is the frozen immobility of my rigid shell."
And the sentry meditates: We cannot set limits in advance to man's cosmic exploit. The whole of space lies open to him. But his release from death will never come about by his physical migration in space. [Instead] Spirit will have, without regret, to abandon the remains of life to space, and when it is mature, escape to join not another visible star in which it would again be imprisoned and which when its turn came would itself die, but [to join] the "higher, boundless unity of the universe, the "unique circle" that embraces the whole spirit and holds nothing prisoner. O wonder-charged centre , O vast sphere, O God!
This was the early beginnings of Teilhard's noosphere–and one does have to admit, in concession to the Church–that these remarks do sound a bit pantheistic. It seems at first as though he is saying that God is being created out of the human. But this is not the true meaning of Teilhard's system. What he sees is the "cosmic Christ," the incarnation, about whom St Paul has written when he insists that Christ is all in all; that he is the head and we are the members. Origen wrote in his Periarchon: "Christ is everywhere. He permeates the universe, and we should no longer think of him . . . in the limits in which a body like ours enclosed him; he was willing to assume that body during his sojourn among us on earth . . ."
But our consideration this evening is not with Teilhard as theologian or even as scientist. Primarily Teilhard's theory of the universe has the power of myth. The last great cosmic myth we had was given to us in Dante's poem, where we move from the loveless regions of the Inferno in the depths of the earth, to Mount Purgatory, and on to the heavenly region with its nine celestial circles, its fixed stars, and its primum mobile before reaching the Empyrean, the highest of the heavens. Western culture has not had a cosmic myth since the Copernican theory first turned our universe upside down. Milton's cosmos in Paradise Lost seems altogether too obviously a fiction. As John Donne wrote in the same century with Milton, "the sun is lost/ and the moon; and no man's wit can tell us where to look for it." It is Donne, too, standing at a juncture in time who voiced for us that other great insight: "No man is an island, entire of itself, but each is a part of the main. If a clod be washed away, England is the less. . . and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." We are tied to each other, no matter how separate we have become in the last three centuries.
Certainly, one has to admit, as Teilhard says, "the conscious portion of the world" seems highly individualistic, presenting itself not as a unified mass but, as he says, " in the form of discontinuous, tiny and ephemeral fragments: a bright dust of individualities, a flight of shooting stars." But if we look deeper, we can see that these brilliant sparks are indicators of a shared realm, one in which "a whole network of interconnected forces operates to keep the human species in being." Thomas Corbishley, a fellow Jesuit who has written on Chardin interprets this network of interconnected forces as "something like the pattern of iron filings which discloses the presence of a magnetic field."(10)
But, as Teilhard wrote in the middle of the twentieth century, "a thick fog of confusion and dissension is at present drifting over the world,. Indeed one might say that men have never more vehemently rebuffed and detested one another than they do now, when everything drives them closer together." And he wonders, "will this [universal sense] flower in time to ensure that arrived at the point of super humanity we avoid dehumanizing ourselves?"
And, Teilhard goes on, "No proof exists that Man has come to the end of his potentialities. That he has reached his highest point. On the contrary, everything suggests that at the present time we are entering a peculiarly critical phase of super humanization." (Life and Planets, 1946)
The force that will determine our future, Teilhard makes clear, is education. It is in education that the human race preserves and extends its own evolution. It is in endowing all children with their rightful heritage that the unity of the human race will be made manifest.
That is why, he wrote, when I look for reassurance as to our future, I do not turn to official utterances, or pacifist manifestations, or conscientious objectors, I turn instinctively towards the ever more numerous institutions and associations of men where in the search for knowledge a new spirit is silently taking shape around us–the soul of mankind resolved at all costs to achieve, in its total integrity, the uttermost fulfilment of its powers and its destiny.
Teilhard saw the history of humanity in the last hundred years as undergoing a vastly different direction–with peoples spreading throughout the world, constantly in touch with each other, developing a global consciousness– moving toward a state of superhumanization from the coming together of all human minds freely working together. But he did not consider the process automatic: the time was brief, he believed, for humanity to determine its ultimate destiny: Shortly before his death in 1955 he wrote:
Everywhere on earth, he wrote, at this moment, in this new spiritual atmosphere created by the idea of evolution there float –in a state of extreme mutual sensitivity–the two essential components of the Ultra human –love of God and faith in the world.
If the truth appears once, in one single mind, that is enough to ensure that can ever prevent it from spreading to everything and setting it ablaze. (The Christic 1955)
Teilhard's thought appeared during the time of the futurists, those prophetic thinkers in various fields who foresaw the coming of a new epoch; Norbert Wiener' Peter Drucker, Daniel Bell, and others . . Teilhard's influence has been broad and profound. It has the generating power of myth, a shape against confusion. The entire discipline of scientific thinking has been affected by his thought. Philosophers and theologians read him anew every day. New publications expounding on his work issue regularly from various parts of the globe. Numerous poets and writers of prose fiction have found in Teilhard's work a mysticism, an espousal of hope, a deep spirituality, a sense of purpose for the human race that has generated –and still continues to generate thoughtful meditation.
For, despite his conviction of our common destiny, he considers that we must look at the universe in terms of the individual freedoms of which it is composed: "In virtue of some divine foreknowledge which controls the progress of the whole as a function of the freedom of each one, it is just as though there were, in the single event system that determines the state of the universe at a given moment as many independent providences as there are souls in the world. Thus each one of us has in reality his own universe" :he is its center and he is called upon to introduce harmony into it, just as though he were alone in rerum nature.
He became convinced that the age of secularism is over: At first, he comments,
"The earth was so absorbed by and took such delight in its earliest conquests, that . . . it could only relax in amazement and feel that it lacked nothing. But the yawning void, deep within it, that calls out for the Absolute, . . tried to forge for itself some Divinity . . .whose glory would crown and illuminate the endless slope of evolution: Omnipotent science, mankind, the Superman. Idols all—" (Writings in Time of War, 85)
It is in the direction and in the form of a single heart that we must look for our picture of super mankind rather even than in that of a single brain." to pp80-81. For love is the "one fundamental element in which evolution can proceed." As Corbishley, interpreting Teilhard, comments, " Omit love and we are faced with the prospect . . . of standardization and enslavement. It is through love that we must look for the deepening of our most intimate selves, in the life-giving coming together of mankind. Love is the free and imaginative outpouring of spirit. (55-56)
What we must say finally is that this noosphere of which Teilhard speaks is quite real: it is a spiritual realm in which there can be human connection with each other and with the divine. All societies before our modern epoch were aware of it; it gave purpose to their lives and point to their education. And now in our time particularly has education become the way in which the human enterprise directs its evolution. It is no longer a luxury, not even a simple social necessity: but a metaphysical and a moral responsibility. It is our way of keeping the human race alive; it is our way of ensuring that the constant development of spirit once inaugurated among us is continued; it is our way of allowing the virtues room to develop; it is our way of helping in the ongoing incarnation of spirit. We are being shown in our time that all we have considered learning in the past—the accumulation of facts, the gathering of information, research, techniques, inert knowledge, even analysis–is incidental to education. For education means synthesis, means transformation, means induction into a larger being, means rising, loving, converging. It leads the way toward participating in a common truth, toward keeping one's individuality but sharing the goals; it leads the way toward loving across all boundaries, moving into that higher conception of the human that we sense in our hearts. It demands positing a realm beyond alteration or decay, a realm that Plato and the NeoPlatonists, Augustine and Dante felt quite familiar with—a plane of truth, a mundus imaginalis, what the medievals considered to be superlunary and therefore beyond corruption. It means having some notion of an immaterial realm, a spiritual region, toward which we aspire and to which we testify, but one that existentially—and this is what is unique and important about Teilhard's noosphere—by our work, our love, our thoughts and our prayers we help to build. The right kind of education–an education that includes the spiritual– enables us to answer the crucially important question at this crisis point in human destiny–at this time when globalization is a reality. And that question is, as we said at the beginning: How will it all end? What is it all for?

Magna International Inc. is eyeing to squeeze more profit from its European operations in the future. The supplier is expecting margins of between 4 percent and 5 percent in Europe in the next three to four years, from 1 percent in 2012, according to Magna Chief Financial Officer Vince Galifi. Magna is investing $100 million to shift its manufacturing operations east to cater to increasing demand for German vehicles in the United States.
Galifi remarked to Bloomberg that as they shift to eastern Europe, they are anticipating continued improvement in operating margins. Magna has been making good business through partnership with German carmakers like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volkswagen.
Galifi said the supplier will open eight new manufacturing sites in several eastern European countries like Hungary, Poland, Russia, Serbia and Turkey. On the western side of the region, Magna is only adding a site and is considering trimming operations in Germany and Belgium to cut labor costs.
Mercedes, BMW and VW are taking advantage of the growing demand for their vehicles in the US, where sales are expected to surge to 15.1 million this year from 14.5 million in 2012, according to the average estimate of 18 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg in January 2013.
With the auto industry recovering in the US, Magna saw its shares soar to record highs this year. Magna's stock surged to a new record of $70.56 on the New York Stock Exchange on June 18, 2013, before closing the week (June 21, 2013) at $68.47. The supplier's shares have surged 37 percent this year, giving Magna a total market capitalization of around $16 billion. [source: automotive news - sub. required]

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for The Appel Farm Arts and Music Center, Elmer, NJ, USA
Appel Farm has been a Cultural Oaisis for me. As a Teaching Artist of both Musical Performance and Visual Arts, Appel Farm deeply embodies my philosophy of Art Education and Community Outreach. Appel Farm reaches across diverse cultures,from senior citizens to students with learning and Physical challenges to transitional shelters. Traveling from my home in Northern Liberties Philadelphia to the Family Success Center in Salem County to make pillows with the residence is probably one of the most rewarding work I have done in my visual arts career. My involvement in creating music with senior citizen population at Matri Dei Nursing home for 22 weeks has allow me to see and experience first hand how art and music transforms and transcends. In short, Appel Farm has become a home away from home. Appel Farm has become a place where I am nourished and as a visual artist and a musical performance artist. Appel Farm has provided venue for my musical project MOKA to perform as well as a gallery to exhibit my paintings. I honestly feel that Appel Farm with it's sustaining Arts in Education Community Outreach and internationally renown music venue,It's many art and music classes embodies my philosophy, "MAKING A LIVING BY MAKING A DIFFERENCE"

In Romans we read: Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. What does it mean to be transformed? Find out on Truth For Life with Alistair Begg! More
- Topics:
- Character of God
- Christian Living
Shaped by GraceThe transforming work of the Gospel shapes our hearts and minds. When applied to both the mundane and profound details of our lives, it should cause us to be different from unbelievers around us. But what does this look like practically? How do these distinctions show themselves each day in our families, work, and local churches? Alistair Begg paints the picture of a grace-shaped life in his study from Romans 12. Through Paul's letter to the first-century church, we see practical actions and attributes that should mark the life of every Christian, no matter the circumstance.

Kenya: dozens killed in attack on church
At least 50 people sheltering in a church, most of them women and children, were killed in Kenya yesterday when a mob torched the building. The victims had sought refuge at the Assemblies of God church in Eldoret, 300 kilometres from Nairobi, after rioters destroyed their homes in earlier attacks. Red Cross officials say they have been overwhelmed by the number of casualties from the violence in the area and they fear worse is to come. Yesterday thousands of armed people were heading towards Burnt Forest, a few Kilometres from Eldoret. Burnt Forest has a history of violent tribal clashes. Many observers expressed concern about the fairness of the elections. Following the apparent victory of President Mwai Kibaki , four days of violent rioting has killed more than 228 people. The Catholic Church has condemned the violence and appealed for calm and tolerance. Bishop Martin Kivuva of Machakos Catholic Diocese said that history had shown violence brews violence. He appealed for political leaders to restrain their supporters. "When we preach an eye for an eye, it means that many people would go blind," he said. Kivuva said it was the ordinary Kenyan and not the leaders that were suffering. "The skirmishes we are witnessing today are affecting the poorest of all and not those who live in estates like Muthaiga and other high class estates," he said.

WATCH: Art Attack – boy punches hole into famous £1m flower painting
A BOY had a nightmare after he accidentally punched a hole in a painting valued at nearly £1million.
Footage shows how the Taiwanese boy, 12, tripped and fell into a Paolo Porpora oil – worth £949,000 – and left a fist-sized gash at the bottom.
However the organisers have not asked the boy's family to pay for restoration costs.
The exhibition organiser Sun Chi-hsuan said the boy was very nervous but not to be blamed and the painting was insured.
The boy – holding a drink with one hand – can be seen walking past the painting, catching his foot and stumbling over.
Fifty-five paintings are on show at the exhibition in Taiwanese capital Taiwan.
A Facebook post on the exhibition reads: "All 55 paintings in the venue are authentic pieces and they are very rare and precious.
"Once these works are damaged, they are permanently damaged."

Martin's best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire saga. It contains 20 different never-before-seen cards designed to augment existing decks and add variety to the A Games of Thrones metagame.

About Drugs and Alcohol For Employees
Substance abuse is a huge, worldwide problem. In the United States alone there are over 50 million binge drinkers, 17 million illegal drug users and almost 15 million people who abuse prescription medications. Most substance abusers have jobs. In fact, it is estimated that one out of every ten workers has a substance abuse problem. An employee with an alcohol or drug problem can decrease productivity, create a hostile work environment and damage a company's good name. Worst of all, the actions of a worker who is "under the influence" can completely undermine a company's efforts to keep people safe.
OSHA's Position On Drugs and Alcohol For Employees Training
Substance abuse plagues nearly every aspect of everyday life. An indication of the scope of this problem, in the U.S., is the report that there are currently; 50 million binge drinkers, 17 million illegal drug users and nearly 15 million who abuse prescription medication. Amazingly, it has also been assessed that about 1 out of every 10 employees has a substance abuse problem! This can directly lead to lost production, accidents, health issues and even damage a company's reputation. But most of all, an employee who is experiencing a drug or alcohol problem can even negate an employer's efforts to maintain a safe work environment. These are the reasons why OSHA is involved with initiatives such as the "Drug Free Workplace Alliance". This is a cooperative effort where OSHA, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy's Working Partners for an Alcohol- and Drug-free Workplace Program (Working Partners) have signed an Alliance with many different organizations.
In accordance with OSHA policies, we have training videos that cover subjects such as:
- The importance of adhering to company regulations regarding substance abuse
- Reasonable suspicion when an employee is exhibiting signs of substance abuse
- Ways that a supervisor can approach someone who appears to be impaired
- Alcohol and drug testing procedures
- The effects of drug and alcohol abuse
With the training materials that we provide, an employer can help to ensure that their workplace is in sync with OSHA policies pertaining to substance abuse in the workplace.
Please look over our high quality Drugs and Alcohol Training videos and supplies. Afterwards, you can select the item(s) that you'll require and then place your order. We make it easy for you! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
