Bishop England junior B.J. Grevey scored his 1,000th point Friday as the Bishops fell, 62-47, to Ridgeland at home.
Grevey scored a game-high 14 points, reaching the career milestone with a free throw in the fourth quarter. He joins Lady Bishops seniors Michele Boykin and Mary Harriet Moore, who joined the exclusive club earlier this season.
Ridgeland (18-5, 13-1) entered Friday with the Class AA Region VI championship and No. 1 playoff seed already in hand. With the loss, Bishop England (11-13, 7-7) now awaits the results of Saturdays games to decide their playoff fate.
If Burke and Academic Magnet both lose, the Bishops are in as the Region VI No. 4 seed. If Burke and Academic Magnet both win, the region would have a three-team playoff Sunday and Monday for the fourth playoff spot. If either wins and the other loses, Bishop England plays the winner Monday.
Bishop England struggled to find an offensive rhythm early Friday, instead relying on 6-7 free-throw shooting to keep pace in the first quarter. The Bishops managed four field goals through the first half, while Ridgeland opened an eight-point lead in the second quarter.
Terrance Frazier helped extend a 14-point Ridgeland lead with 10 points in the third. The Bishops turned in their highest-scoring quarter of the night with 16 points in the fourth but couldnt slow Ridgelands offense long enough to threaten.
T.J. Frazier scored 12, and C.J. Mitchell added 11 to lead Ridgeville. Dillon Corbett and Robert Butler both scored nine for Bishop England.
The Bishops will now wait and see, as Burke faces North Charleston and Academic Magnet travels to Battery Creek Saturday.

text: I just read the book and watched the 2004 version of the movie. I have to admit that I actually turned it off because I thought some of the acting was just terrible. Rob Lowe was a good Ben Mears, but Susan's character was not what I was picturing in my head at all. I picture more of an innocent, flirtatious type of girl.

2 answers
A:Yes, it does!Answered on 6/19/2015 by Anonymous
A:Yes, it certainly does. I will mention though that I'm not a huge fan of the tins. They are hard to get open when you are wet and or soapy. But the tin will hold the massage bar!Answered on 6/17/2015 by Lisa from NH
Q:Does the Strawberry bar fit into this tin?Asked on 4/3/2015 by Meg from Valparaiso, IN
2 answers
A:Unfortunately, the Strawberry Feels Forever massage bar does not fit in the
massage bar tin. You can easily cut it into pieces, though, which may allow
it to fit. Another option would be to store it in a food storage container
or bag.Answered on 4/13/2015 by Anonymous
A:No, Strawberry Feels Forever doesn't fit into this tin.Answered on 4/5/2015 by Myriam
Q:Can I use this to store the Full Of Grace bar?Asked on 11/17/2013 by Gibby
3 answers
A:One of our a massage bar tins is definitely a great way to store the Full of Grace bar! The square body butter tins can also be used to store this product as well as any other sealed container you may want to use!Answered on 11/18/2013 by Britt from LUSH Direct
A:It fits my wiccy magic massage bar with a little bit of room on the sides. Since that bar and the full of grace bar look similar in size, I would think it would fit. I am not 100% sure as I have not used the Full of grace bar.
Hope that helps.
Sent from my U.S. Cellular® SmartphoneAnswered on 11/18/2013 by Anonymous
A:Sure! The tin is a little larger than the bar but it will store it just fine. :-)
-AlyshaAnswered on 11/17/2013 by Anonymous
Q:Does anyone know if the Full of Grace bar will fit in this tin?Asked on 8/30/2013 by khack from Colorado Springs, CO
4 answers
A:Yes, The Full of Grace will fit in the massage bar tin. I use the tin myself for the Full of grace and it works great especially for travelingAnswered on 9/24/2013 by Anonymous
A:Yes, I use that same tin for my massage bar, EACH PEACH, and other oval shaped massage bars, which are 2.2 oz in size. Full of Grace is 0.7 oz, so you should have no problem. That being said, you might want to wrap it in wax paper before putting it in the tin, as Full of Grace can melt in warmer temperatures. The tins top fits very snug, but just in case while traveling I would do that plus put the tin in a ziplock baggy.Answered on 8/30/2013 by Anonymous
A:Yes it does. I keep mine in that tin.Answered on 8/30/2013 by Anonymous
A:Yes, it should fit. Those tins are great!Answered on 8/30/2013 by Anonymous
Q:If there is anyone who has tried multiple message bars, out of the ones you have tried, which of them fit and do not fit into the tins? I wish Lush would make this known for buyers who are only able to buy online.Asked on 1/17/2012 by GApeach22 from South, GA
2 answers
A:Pretty much any of the oval ones fit in here, and I have found that once the rectangular ones get smaller, they fit fine. For the odd-shaped ones, I have been putting them in a ziploc bag, but it's not the same!Answered on 1/27/2012 by PurpleSun38 from Frankfort, IL
A:The oval massage bars do fit into the oval tins, and a couple of other smaller bars such as Soft Coeur, and Shimmy Shimmy will fit as well. Unfortunately, the rectangular massage bars will not fit into the tins until they have melted down to a smaller size. As long as the massage bars are stored in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, there shouldn't be any problems in keeping them.Answered on 8/30/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

At the age of 8, Katie Ott of Miramar Beach fell in love with the harp.
"It was my first instrument, and I completely fell in love with my teacher," Katie told The Sun. "The first song I played was Moonlight by Susann McDonald, and I still teach it to my beginning harp students."
Since that time, her music has advanced and, according to the Mobile Register, "has a shimmering ethereal quality that demonstrates why she is so much in demand by orchestras along the Gulf Coast."
As the conductor of the Snowbird Singers, Katie chose Broadway classics and songs from her childhood for them to perform.
"My job as conductor is to lead and inspire them to sing well," Katie said. "We all have a wonderful time together and I feel very fortunate to be able to work with them."
In addition to the Singers, her father, composer/conductor David Ott of Destin, will report on the work of the Music for Healing Foundation and dancers from Destin Middle School, under the direction of Melody Gill, will perform to the melody of Dry Bones.
'Passionate yet controlled'
Katie has been principal harpist of the Mobile Symphony Orchestra, Pensacola Symphony Orchestra, Mobile Opera and Pensacola Opera since 2006, and principal of the Gulf Coast Symphony Orchestra since 2007. She was also a principal harpist with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Northwest Florida from 2002-2008 and the Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra from 1998-2001.
"My forte is orchestral playing," she said. "My favorite type is 20th Century French music and I love opera — anything written by Puccini or Ravel is on the top of my list. I would hope my harp playing would be described as passionate yet controlled, and I want it to seem effortless but still rhythmic."
Performing at her church, Point Washington United Methodist, about once a month, in recitals and at special appearances, Katie has performed major works as a soloist, including Angel's Harp by her father, Concerto for Flute and Harp by Mozart, and Sacred and Profane Dances by Debussy.
With more than 10 years of experience playing for wedding ceremonies, receptions, holiday parties and corporate events, Katie is in demand and says she has played for hundreds of weddings — mostly on the beach.
Katie loves to perform in many venues, but her main focus is the Pensacola, Mobile and Biloxi Symphony Orchestras.
"I love performing everywhere, but I especially love small intimate concerts where I can talk to the audience and let them see the harp up close and personal," Katie said.
Katie has a record as one who strives for perfection in her work and her life, being highly motivated and a diligent worker.
"If I were a student of perfectionism, Katie would be the teacher," her father told The Sun. "Her sense of rhythm is one of the finest I have ever known in any musician. It's a result of her hard work. Katie has won the respect of every conductor she has worked under. Time and time again, she is asked to return to perform with orchestras. Her playing is colorful, dramatic and exact. As one conductor has said, 'Katie adds the sheen to the entire orchestra.' "
Katie also has his respect and confidence. She assumed some of his conducting duties when he broke his back after he fell 14 feet into the basement below the orchestra pit after the debut of his original work, "The Widow's Lantern," written for the Pensacola Opera in 2009.
"I really learned a lot about myself and my abilities when I conducted for my dad," Katie said. "It's very exciting leading a group of musicians, but I don't compose like my dad, so I'll leave that to the pros!"
David has written many pieces for his daughter, and is honored when she performs pieces he writes just for her.
"In fact, she owes me a CD of about an hour's worth of music I wrote for her two years ago," he said. "Whenever she performs, she knows how to show off my work."
Although the father and daughter have performed some together, David said he has never felt comfortable writing duets for harp and piano.
"The two instruments seem to collide. Because the organ sustains tones, it makes for a better musical combination with the harp than does the piano."
Katie, who describes herself as "high energy, outgoing and competitive," loves to laugh, a characteristic she inherited from her father.
"We ate dinner together every day and literally laughed through the entire meal," she said. "My dad really set the mood for our family and he's hilarious, so we all just grew up laughing."
"She possesses a hilarious sense of humor which comes out when she is in front of a crowd, and it's often at my expense," David said. "Katie is passionate and a perfectionist about music and loves life to the fullest degree."
Put simply, music is Katie's world.
"There is a great quote 'Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent' by Victor Hugo — that's truly how I feel."
Katie Ott will conduct the Snowbird Singers during a public concert at 3 p.m. Feb. 23 at Santa Rosa Community Church in Santa Rosa Beach. Admission is free with a goodwill offering.

Thumbs up
To One Table – Thousands turned out again this year for the annual Thanksgiving feast for the community in downtown Aiken. What a special event that truly brings all of us together. Thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time and money to make this event happen.
To the Chitlin' Strut – Once again the population of Salley exploded for one day for this annual festival that celebrates one of the more unusual Southern delights – chitterlings. Good job to all the people who made this annual event successful once again.
To lower gas prices – These came just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. Let's hope the trend continues through the holiday travel season.
To students finding a new planet – Two College of Charleston seniors have discovered a new planet. Analyzing photographic data from the Subaru telescope in Hawaii, Kozakis noticed a giant light shining closer in to the massive star kappa Andromedae than she had ever seen before. After months of monitoring and data crunching, she and Stevens confirmed that when the star moved, the light moved with it. The body wasn't a star in the sky background; it was orbiting the star. We think they deserve an A for that class.
To long-lost mail – A postcard mailed in 1943 finally arrived last week. The postcard was sent from Rockford, Ill., to two sisters in Elmira, N.Y. Their brother, George Leisenring, was stationed at Rockford's Medical Center Barracks at Camp Grant, an Army post during World War II. Their parents were visiting him when they mailed the postcard home. A different family lives in the house today. A postal official says the postcard may have been found by someone outside the postal service and placed in the mail.
To the holiday season – With Thanksgiving, the holiday season begin. It means a month to decorate, shop, bake and socialize. As cliche as it sounds, remember the reason for the season. Share what you have, don't overspend or overeat, reach our to family and friends.
To lower unemployment rates – South Carolina's jobless rate fell to its lowest rate in nearly four years in October. Aiken County benefitted, dropping from 8.2 percent in September to 7.3 percent. Let's hope the trend continues into the new year.
Thumbs down
To hackers – Slowly, South Carolina officials are getting to the bottom of how millions of private state tax records were compromised. Hackers were the likely culprits, according to reports released last week. They entered the system through a malicious email that at least one S.C. Department of Revenue unknowingly opened. The breach affected 3.8 million individual taxpayers, 1.9 million dependents, 699,900 businesses, 3.3 million bank accounts and 5,000 credit card accounts, all of which are now expired.

EASTERN - The Allen Central High School boys' basketball team will tip off the 2012-13 season next week with a nearly-new cast of players. After finishing the 2011-12 season 15-15, Allen Central lost six seniors to graduation. The Allen Central coaching staff, however, remains upbeat about the upcoming season. Allen Central will tip off the 2012-13 season at home, hosting 58th District/Floyd County Conference Betsy Layne at J.E. Campbell Arena on Friday, Nov. 30.
"Practice is going real well," Allen Central Coach Brad Short commented. "We will be extremely young this year but our freshman class will be very strong. We have some very good young guys. Our boys play unbelievably hard but we are lacking in upperclassmen talent."
Many newcomers are set to contribute for the Rebels.
Allen Central lost a host of talented players to graduation, including guard Braxton Tackett and center Micah Harlow. Tackett averaged 20.4 points per game for the Rebels last season. Harlow ranked second in the scoring column behind Tackett, averaging 11.7 points per game for the Allen Central boys' basketball team in the 2011-12 campaign.
"We only have one player returning from last year's team that had any playing time," Short confided. "Most of our kids that would have been seniors this year that were in our middle school program transferred to other schools a few years ago. We lost over 95 percent of our scoring from last year. With that being said, I think that we will still do better than what most people think. I believe that we will win a couple of more games just by our hustle and play. I look for us to be very competitive in the region in the upcoming years."
Allen Central will entertain familiar foe Betsy Layne in the first of five straight home games. The Rebels will also host Pikeville (Dec. 4), South Floyd (Dec. 7), Piarist School (Dec. 8) and Sheldon Clark (Dec. 11) prior to venturing to Prestonsburg for their first road game in the 2012-13 season.

What Is Diverticulitis?
There's a big difference between diverticulitis and diverticulosis.
Diverticulitis is a condition that occurs when diverticula — small, pouch-like structures that form in the intestines or elsewhere in the digestive tract — become inflamed or infected.
Diverticulitis can cause painful symptoms and, if untreated, lead to serious complications.
Up to 25 percent of people who have diverticula will over time develop diverticulitis, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Diverticular Disease
Diverticulitis is one kind of diverticular disease. A related condition known as diverticulosis describes the presence of diverticula in the digestive tract; these are typically harmless, though they may eventually develop into a case of diverticulitis.
Diverticula can form anywhere along the digestive, or gastrointestinal (GI) tract, from the esophagus, which connects the mouth to the stomach, to the large intestine.
Most diverticula, however, form in the sigmoid colon, which is near the end of the large intestine and which connects the bowels to the rectum, where feces are held before a bowel movement.
Doctors and researchers aren't certain what causes diverticula in the digestive tract become inflamed or infected, but they have identified several possible causes.
The most widely accepted theory is that increased pressure in the colon, caused by constipation or other digestive problems, can lead to tears in the wall of a diverticulum.
Bacteria or hard fecal material present in the intestine can then become lodged in the diverticulum, causing inflammation and infection.
Constipation, which results in stools that are small, hard, and difficult for the body to pass, can be caused by a lack of fiber in the diet. Because of this, many doctors cite a low-fiber diet as one cause of diverticular disease.
Other non-dietary risk factors that may increase the likelihood of developing diverticulitis include:
- Aging
- Decreased levels of serotonin in the brain
- Genetics
- Obesity
- Lack of exercise
- Smoking
- Certain medications
Unlike diverticulosis, which usually does not cause any symptoms to develop, diverticulitis is typically accompanied by painful symptoms, including:
- Abdominal pain or tenderness
- Change in bowel habits
- Fever
- Chills
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Bloating
- Rectal bleeding
If you experience the symptoms of diverticulitis, you should speak with your doctor about possible treatment options right away, as the condition typically does not go away on its own, and diverticulitis can cause serious complications.
Most cases of diverticulitis can be resolved with non-surgical treatment, which may include an over-the-counter pain reliever such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), or a clear liquid diet (e.g., water, broth, honey, and plain gelatin). Your doctor may also prescribe antibiotics to eliminate any infection.
However, complicated cases of diverticulitis often require surgery. There are three common surgical procedures that your doctor may recommend if you experience complications from diverticulitis or if you have recurrent flare-ups of diverticulitis. They are:
- Bowel resection/colectomy: Your surgeon will remove the affected part of your colon and then reconnect the remaining portions of your intestine. In rare cases, the entire colon is removed, a procedure known as a total colectomy.
- Percutaneous catheter: A radiologist will insert a percutaneous (through the skin) catheter beneath your abdominal wall to drain any infected and abscessed diverticula. This procedure does not involve the removal of any part of your intestines.
- Colostomy: This procedure often accompanies a bowel resection or colectomy. Your surgeon will create an opening in your abdominal wall (called a colostomy) and connect the intestine to this opening. A removable bag is then attached to the outside of the hole to collect stool until a resection surgery can be performed.
Because constipation can lead to increased pressure in the bowels, which is known to weaken the muscles of the intestine and lead to a greater risk of developing diverticula, many doctors believe that the best way to keep this condition at bay is to eat a high-fiber diet.
Fiber prevents constipation by making stools softer and bulkier, which makes it easier for the intestine to push stools through to the rectum and out of the body.
There are several other ways to prevent diverticulitis, such as:
- Avoiding over-consumption of red meat. Studies have shown that people who eat red meat are more likely to develop diverticular disease.
- Avoiding fatty foods. These foods may lead to intestinal blockage, which can worsen symptoms of diverticulitis.
- Exercising regularly. Studies have found that people who exercise vigorously are less likely to develop diverticular disease.
- Not smoking. Smokers are at a higher risk of developing complications from diverticulitis.
- Avoiding the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, naproxen (Aleve) and ibuprofen (Advil), as these drugs have been linked to increased instances of diverticular bleeding.
- Drinking plenty of fluids. If you don't drink enough water, you can put yourself at greater risk of constipation.
- Maintaining a healthy body weight. Obesity has been found to increase a person's risk of developing diverticular disease.
- Responding to bowel urges. Delaying bowel movements can lead to hard stools and increased strain on the muscles of the colon.

Born again (Christianity)
In some Christian movements (especially Fundamentalism and Evangelicalism), to be born again is to undergo a "spiritual rebirth" (regeneration) of the human spirit from the Holy Spirit, contrasted with the physical birth everyone experiences. The term "born again" is derived from a story in the New Testament in which the words of Jesus are misunderstood by his conversation partner, Nicodemus: "Jesus answered him, 'Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.' Nicodemus said to him, 'How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?'"[Jn 3:3-4 NRSV] The Greek phrase in the text is in itself ambiguous, resulting in a wordplay in which Jesus' meaning, "born from above," is misunderstood by Nicodemus as "born again." In contemporary Christian usage, the term is distinct from sometimes similar terms used in mainstream Christianity to refer to being or becoming Christian, which is linked in this broader context to baptism. Individuals who profess to be "born again" often state that they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.[1][2][3] The phrase "born again" is also used as an adjective to describe individual members of the movement who espouse this belief, as well as the movement itself ("born-again Christian" and the "born-again movement").

History and usage[edit]
|Part of a series on
Other topics
|Methodism portal
Historically, Christianity has used various metaphors to describe its rite of initiation, that is, spiritual regeneration via the sacrament of baptism by the power of the water and the spirit. This remains the common understanding in most of Christendom, held, for example, in Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, Anglicanism,[4] Lutheranism, and in much of Protestantism. However, sometime after the Reformation, Evangelical Protestants began to understand being born again[5] as an experience of religious conversion, symbolized by deep-water baptism, and rooted in a commitment to one's own personal faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. This same belief is, historically, also an integral part of Methodist doctrine,[6][7] and is connected with the doctrine of Justification.[8]
Such "'Rebirth' has often been identified with a definite, temporally datable form of 'conversion'." Its effects vary with the type of person involved:
With the voluntaristic type, rebirth is expressed in a new alignment of the will, in the liberation of new capabilities and powers that were hitherto undeveloped in the person concerned. With the intellectual type, it leads to an activation of the capabilities for understanding, to the breakthrough of a "vision". With others it leads to the discovery of an unexpected beauty in the order of nature or to the discovery of the mysterious meaning of history. With still others it leads to a new vision of the moral life and its orders, to a selfless realization of love of neighbour. ... each person affected perceives his life in Christ at any given time as "newness of life." [9]
According to Melton:
Born again is a phrase used by many Protestants to describe the phenomenon of gaining faith in Jesus Christ. It is an experience when everything they have been taught as Christians becomes real, and they develop a direct and personal relationship with God.[10]
According to Purves and Partee,[11] "Sometimes the phrase seems to be judgemental, making a distinction between genuine and nominal Christians. Sometimes ... descriptive, like the distinction between liberal and conservative Christians. Occasionally, the phrase seems historic, like the division between Catholic and Protestant Christians." Furthermore, the term "usually includes the notion of human choice in salvation and excludes a view of divine election by grace alone".
The Oxford English Dictionary, finding examples going back to 1961, defines the adjective "born-again" as:
Of, pertaining to, or characterized by (an experience of) new birth in Christ or spiritual renewal; of a Christian: placing special emphasis on this experience as a basis for all one's actions, evangelical.[12]
Biblical foundation[edit]
The King James' Version uses the phrase born again three times. Two appear in chapter 3 of the Gospel of John. Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus, a Pharisee described as "a ruler of the Jews", who says that, because of his miracles, Jesus is known "to be a teacher come from God". Jesus immediately replies: "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."[Jn 3:3] [13] A few verses later the Gospel quotes Jesus as saying:
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. / The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.[Jn 3:7]
John's Gospel was written in Greek, and the Greek word translated as again is ανωΘεν (anothen), which could mean again, or from above. The New Revised Standard Version prefers this latter translation,[13] and both the King James Version and the Revised Version give it as an alternative in the margins. Hoskyns argues that it is to be preferred as the fundamental meaning and he drew attention to phrases such as "birth of the Spirit (v.5)", "birth from God (cf. Jn 1:12-13; 1Jn 2:29, 3:9, 4:7, 5:18)" but continues to claim that this necessarily carries with it an emphasis upon the newness of the life as given by God himself.[14]
The third and last mention of the phrase occurs in the First Letter of Peter. The King James Bible translates this as:
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently: / Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.[1 Peter 1:22-23]
Here, the Greek word translated as "born again" is αναγεγεννημενοι (anagegennemenoy).[15]
The traditional Jewish understanding of the promise of salvation is interpreted as being rooted in "the seed of Abraham"; that is in the physical lineage from Abraham. Jesus explained to Nicodemus that this doctrine was in error—that every person must have two births—the natural birth of the physical body, the other of the water and the spirit.[16] This discourse with Nicodemus established the Christian belief that all human beings—whether Jew or Gentile—must be "born again" of the spiritual seed of Christ. The Apostle Peter further reinforced this understanding in 1 Peter 1:23.[15] The Catholic Encyclopedia states that "[a] controversy existed in the primitive church over the interpretation of the expression the seed of Abraham. It is [the Apostle Paul's] teaching in one instance that all who are Christ's by faith are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to promise. He is concerned, however, with the fact that the promise is not being fulfilled to the seed of Abraham (referring to the Jews)."[17]
Charles Hodge writes that "The subjective change wrought in the soul by the grace of God, is variously designated in Scripture" with terms such as new birth, resurrection, new life, new creation, renewing of the mind, dying to sin and living to righteousness, and translation from darkness to light.[18]
Jesus Christ used the "birth" analogy in tracing spiritual newness of life to a divine beginning. Contemporary Christian theologians have provided explanations for "born from above" being a more accurate translation of the original Greek word transliterated anōthen.[19] Theologian Frank Stagg cites two reasons why the newer translation is significant:
- The emphasis "from above" (implying "from Heaven") calls attention to the source of the "newness of life." Stagg writes that the word "again" does not include the source of the new kind of beginning
- More than personal improvement is needed. "...a new destiny requires a new origin, and the new origin must be from God."[20]
An early example of the term in its more modern use appears in the sermons of John Wesley. In the sermon printed under the title of A New Birth he writes "none can be holy unless he be born again", and "except he be born again, none can be happy even in this world. For ... a man should not be happy who is not holy." Also, "I say, [a man] may be born again and so become an heir of salvation." Wesley also states infants who are baptized are born again, but for adults it is different:
... our church supposes, that all who are baptized in their infancy, are at the same time born again. ... But ... it is sure all of riper years, who are baptized, are not at the same time born again.[21]
Denominational positions[edit]
For American Christians, The Oxford Handbook of Religion and American Politics notes: "The GSS ... has asked a born-again question on three occasions ... 'Would you say you have been 'born again' or have had a 'born-again' experience?" The Handbook says that "Evangelical, black, and Latino Protestants tend to respond similarly, with about two-thirds of each group answering in the affirmative. In contrast, only about one third of mainline Protestants and one sixth of Catholics (Anglo and Latino) claim a born-again experience." However, the handbook suggests that "born-again questions are poor measures even for capturing evangelical respondents. ... it is likely that people who report a born-again experience also claim it as an identity."[22]

The Catholic Church identifies regeneration (being "born again") with the sacrament of baptism.[23]
The catholic.com site has:
Regeneration (being "born again") is the transformation from death to life that occurs in our souls when we first come to God and are justified.
The site catholic education.org [24] adds:
How, then, should a Catholic answer the question, "Have you been born again?" An accurate answer would be, "Yes, I was born again in baptism." Yet leaving it at that may generate even more confusion. ... The Catholic, then, should do more than simply point to his baptism; he should discuss his living faith, trust and love of Christ; his desire to grow in sanctity and conformity to Christ; and his total dependence on Christ for salvation. These are integral to the new life of the Holy Spirit that baptism bestows. When the Fundamentalist sees the link between baptism and the Holy Spirit in the life of his Catholic neighbor, he may begin to see that St. Paul was more than figurative when he wrote, "You were buried with Christ in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead" (Col 2:12).
However, at the Council of Trent, on 15 November 1551, the necessity for a second conversion after baptism was delineated:[25]
This second conversion is an uninterrupted task for the whole Church who, clasping sinners to her bosom, is at once holy and always in need of purification, and follows constantly the path of penance and renewal. Jesus' call to conversion and penance, like that of the prophets before him, does not aim first at outward works, "sackcloth and ashes," fasting and mortification, but at the conversion of the heart, interior conversion (Catechism of the Catholic Church § 1428 & 1430).
The Lutheran Church holds that it "thoroughly teaches that we are cleansed of our sins and born again and renewed in Holy Baptism by the Holy Ghost. But she also teaches that whoever is baptized must, though daily contrition and repentance, drown The Old Adam so that daily a new man come forth and arise who walks before God in righteousness and purity forever. She teaches that whoever lives in sins after his baptism has again lost the grace of baptism."[26]
The phrase is mentioned in the 39 Articles of the Anglican Church in article XV, which is headed "Of Christ alone without Sin". In part, it reads: "sin, as S. John saith, was not in Him. But all we the rest, although baptized and born again in Christ, yet offend in many things: and if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."[27]
The Reformed churches reject both the Catholic/Lutheran and Methodist/Evangelical concepts of being born again. Here, "regeneration, the equivalent to being 'born again,' is the inward working of the Spirit which induces the sinner to respond to the effectual call". This is "the work of God's Spirit, whereby, convincing us of our sin and misery, enlightening our minds in the knowledge of Christ, and renewing our wills, he doth persuade and enable us to embrace Jesus Christ, freely offered to us in the gospel."[28]":[29]
In Reformed theology, "regeneration precedes faith."[30] Samuel Storms writes that "Calvinists insist that the sole cause of regeneration or being born again is the will of God. God first sovereignly and efficaciously regenerates, and only in consequence of that do we act. Therefore, the individual is passive in regeneration, neither preparing himself nor making himself receptive to what God will do. Regeneration is a change wrought in us by God, not an autonomous act performed by us for ourselves."[31]
Methodism and other Evangelicals[edit]
In Methodism, the "new birth is necessary for salvation because it marks the move toward holiness. That comes with faith."[32] John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Church, held that the New Birth "is that great change which God works in the soul when he brings it into life, when he raises it from the death of sin to the life of righteousness" (Works, vol. 2, pp. 193–194).[32] The Articles of Religion, in Article XVII—Of Baptism, state that baptism is a "sign of regeneration or the new birth."[33] The Methodist Visitor in describing this doctrine, admonishes individuals: "'Ye must be born again.' Yield to God that He may perform this work in and for you. Admit Him to your heart. 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.'"[34]
The belief in the New Birth is something that Methodists share with other evangelicals.[35] In The Encyclopedia of Protestantism, JG Melton states that "In churches that emphasize evangelism, the 'born-again' experience tends to become the norm, and everyone is expected to recount such an experience."[36]
"Although many evangelicals allow that conversion can be a process, generally they see it as a specific, identifiable moment of time when a person simply and sincerely trusts in Jesus Christ as savior."[13] They understand Romans 10:9 to indicate a requirement of salvation: "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." So, "to be born again" means "to be saved" because to be saved, one must confess Jesus is Lord with one's mouth and believe it in one's heart. Also, to be born again means to follow Romans 10:10 that "with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved".[37]
Jehovah's Witnesses[edit]
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that individuals do not have the power to be born again, but that God calls and selects his followers "from above". They interpret Jesus' statement that one must be born from "water and the spirit" to enter the kingdom of God, as a necessity rather than as a command.[38]
Disagreements between denominations[edit]
|This section contains too many or too-lengthy quotations for an encyclopedic entry. (June 2014)
The term "born again" is used by several Christian denominations, but there are disagreements on what the term means, and whether members of other denominations are justified in claiming to be born again Christians.
A Catholic website says:
Catholics should ask Protestants, "Are you born again—the way the Bible understands that concept?" If the Evangelical has not been properly water baptized, he has not been born again "the Bible way," regardless of what he may think.[23]
On the other hand, an Evangelical site argues:
Another of many examples is the Catholic who claims he also is "born again." ... However, what the committed Catholic means is that he received his spiritual birth when he was baptized—either as an infant or when as an adult he converted to Catholicism. That's not what Jesus meant when He told Nicodemus he "must be born again" (Jn 3:3-8). The deliberate adoption of biblical terms which have different meanings for Catholics has become an effective tool in Rome's ecumenical agenda.[39]
The Reformed view of regeneration may be set apart from other outlooks in at least two ways.
First, classical Roman Catholicism teaches that regeneration occurs at baptism, a view known as baptismal regeneration. Reformed theology has insisted that regeneration may take place at any time in a person's life, even in the womb. It is not somehow the automatic result of baptism. Second, it is common for many other evangelical branches of the church to speak of repentance and faith leading to regeneration (i.e., people are born again only after they exercise saving faith). By contrast, Reformed theology teaches that original sin and total depravity deprive all people of the moral ability and will to exercise saving faith. ... Regeneration is entirely the work of God the Holy Spirit - we can do nothing on our own to obtain it. God alone raises the elect from spiritual death to new life in Christ (Eph. 2:1-10).[40]
Public stances[edit]
In recent history, born again is a term that has been widely associated with the evangelical Christian renewal since the late 1960s, first in the United States and then later around the world. Associated perhaps initially with Jesus People and the Christian counterculture, born again came to refer to a conversion experience, accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in order to be saved from Hell and given eternal life with God in Heaven, and was increasingly used as a term to identify devout believers.[13] By the mid-1970s, born again Christians were increasingly referred to in the mainstream media as part of the born again movement.
In 1976, Watergate conspirator Chuck Colson's book Born Again gained international notice. Time magazine named him "One of the 25 most influential Evangelicals in America."[41] The term was sufficiently prevalent so that during the year's presidential campaign, Democratic party nominee Jimmy Carter described himself as "born again" in the first Playboy magazine interview of an American presidential candidate. Modern musicians such as Little Richard,[42] Mark Farner, Dan Peek, Donna Summer, Bob Dylan,[43] Kerry Livgren, Dave Hope, Dave Mustaine, Nicko McBrain, Roger McGuinn, Ted Nugent, Kanye West, Carrie Underwood, Johnny Cash, Brian Welch, Keith Farley, Cliff Richard, Charlie Daniels, Randy Travis, Alice Cooper, Steven Tyler, Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, and Lou Gramm[44] were artists whose born again conversions had an impact on modern culture. Others such as department store magnate James Cash Penney, Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy, actor/martial artist Chuck Norris, wrestlers Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, AJ Styles, Ted DiBiase and Sting, and actors Jesse McCartney, Kirk Cameron, and Mr. T are also mentioned as being born again. Born-again athletes like former New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow, St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford and former Rams Super Bowl XXXIV winning quarterback Kurt Warner, Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones, boxer Katie Taylor and Houston Rockets player Jeremy Lin. Former Alabama governor and American presidential candidate George Wallace became born again in the late 1970s, which led him to apologize for his earlier segregationist views.
Chuck Colson[edit]
In his book Born Again (1976 and 2008), Watergate conspirator Chuck Colson describes his path to faith in conjunction with his criminal imprisonment and played a significant role in solidifying the "born again" identity as a cultural construct in the US. He writes that his spiritual experience followed considerable struggle and hesitancy to have a "personal encounter with God." He recalls:
... while I sat alone staring at the sea I love, words I had not been certain I could understand or say fell from my lips: "Lord Jesus, I believe in You. I accept You. Please come into my life. I commit it to You." With these few words...came a sureness of mind that matched the depth of feeling in my heart. There came something more: strength and serenity, a wonderful new assurance about life, a fresh perception of myself in the world around me.[45]
Born-again and US politics[edit]
The first President of the United States to publicly declare that he was born-again was Jimmy Carter in 1976.[46] "In the 1980 campaign, all three of the major candidates ... stated that they had been born-again"[47]
Sider and Knippers[48] state that "Ronald Reagan's election that fall [was] aided by the votes of 61% of 'born-again' white Protestants."
The Gallup Organization reported that "In 2003, 42% of U.S. adults said they were born-again or evangelical; the 2004 percentage is 41%." Also, "Black Americans are far more likely to identify themselves as born-again or evangelical, with 63% of blacks saying they are born-again, compared with 39% of white Americans. Republicans are far more likely to say they are born-again (52%) than Democrats (36%) or independents (32%)."[49]
Haiven, in speaking of "born-agains",[50] refers to them as having "a type of intolerance". She says, "The instant and thoughtless panaceas of born-again Christianity will be seen as a vast sanctuary by millions of North Americans." She asks, "Is this sanctuary really a recruitment camp for right-wing movements? It would be naive to think otherwise."
The Oxford Handbook of Religion and American Politics,[51] referring to several studies, reports "that 'born-again' identification is associated with lower support for government anti-poverty programs." It also notes that "self-reported born-again" Christianity, "strongly shapes attitudes towards economic policy."
Biblical arguments[edit]
The quotation from the Gospel of John has raised some questions about the meaning and authenticity of the phrase "born again". In the chapter, Nicodemus is puzzled and asks Jesus what he means by saying that "Ye must be born again". He questions: "How can a man re-enter his mother's womb?" Scholar Bart D. Ehrman says that this confusion is because in Greek (the language of the gospel) the word again is ambiguous. It might mean again or a second time or from above, which would explain Nicodemus' confusion. However, the Jews at Jesus' time were actually speaking Aramaic, in which language there would not have been a double meaning. Ehrman says that this raises questions about the authenticity of the dialogue, the meaning of the words, and, therefore, the use of the phrase.[52]
A 19th-century source notes that the phrase was not mentioned by the other Evangelists, nor by the Apostles except Peter. "It was not regarded by any of the Evangelists but John of sufficient importance to record." And, without John, "we should hardly have known that it was necessary for one to be born again." This suggests that "the text and context was meant to apply to Nicodemus particularly, and not to the world." Otherwise, it would have been mentioned more often. [53]
Names inspired by the term[edit]
The idea of "rebirth in Christ" has inspired[54] some common European forenames: French René/Renée. Αlso used in Belgium the Netherlands and Great Britain, Dutch Renaat/Renate, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Renato/Renata, Latin Renatus/Renata, which all mean "reborn", "born again".[55]

"I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ." If you are an Evangelical Christian you can remember saying these words probably more times than you can count. If on the other hand you are not "Born Again," you may have heard this phrase from an Evangelical inviting you to establish such a relationship with Christ.

We believe that people need to be regenerated. They need a spiritual rebirth. The need to be born again. ...You must be born again before you can see, or enter, the Kingdom of Heaven."

Connected with his doctrine of the New Birth was that of Justification, which he affirmed to be inseparable from it, yet easily to be distinguished, as being not the same, but of a widely different nature. In order of time, neither of these is before the other; in the moment we are justified by the grace of God, through the redemption that is in Jesus, we are also born of the Spirit; but in order of thinking, as it is termed, Justification precedes the New Birth.

The Heart of a Teacher – Center for Teacher Education Speaker Event
presented by ONU's Department of Education and Center for Teacher Education
A teacher's heart overcomes obstacles and finds a way to touch the hearts and minds of each and every student.
The ONU Department of Education and Center for Teacher Education proudly present "The Heart of a Teacher" on Tuesday, August 27, 2013, at 7 p.m. in the Dicke Forum, James F. Dicke Hall.
Two ONU alumni and outstanding teachers will share their incredible journeys toward teaching excellence and offer strategies for creating a safe and nurturing classroom where each student can succeed.
Stephanie Carr, BA '05, teaches middle school students in an urban school in Nashville where 70 percent of her students don't speak English at home and 93 percent live in poverty. She was named Teacher of the Year in 2013 at her school.
Joe Virant, BA '03, is a former teacher and technology administrator who has successfully utilized technology to transform the way students learn. He currently designs technical training courses for adult learners for Baker Hughes, Inc. He was named Teacher of the Year in 2006 at an elementary school in Houston.
This event is free and open to the public. A reception in Dicke atrium will follow the presentation.
About the speakers
Stephanie Carr, BA, ELA, German Ed. '05, is an eighth grade English and US History teacher at Wright Middle School in Nashville, Tenn. She describes her time at ONU as the most wonderful, nearly perfect period of life. While at ONU, Stephanie majored in English Language Arts and worked with Dr. Walter to create the German Education major. She was the 2005 recipient of the Harold P. Vayhinger Memorial Award and the Outstanding Major in German Award. In 2013, she was named Teacher of the Year at Wright Middle School. ... read more
Joe Virant, BA, MCED '03, is an Instructional Design Project Manager with Baker Hughes, Inc. In this role, he designs and develops technical training courses for adult learners. Prior to his move to the corporate sphere in 2012, he spent his career working in two large public school districts: Katy Independent School District and Spring Branch Independent School District, both in the Houston, Texas area.

Stephanie Carr
Stephanie Carr (BA, ELA & German Ed. '05) is an 8th grade English and US History teacher at Wright Middle School in Nashville, Tennessee. She describes her time at ONU as the most wonderful, nearly perfect period of life. While at ONU Stephanie majored in English Language Arts and worked with Dr. Walter to create the German Education major. She can testify that ONU means it when they promise an individualized education and say, "large enough to challenge and small enough to care." While at ONU, Stephanie was an active participant in Habitat for Humanity, Mortar Board, Sigma Tau Delta, Kappa Phi, and several other organizations. She was the 2005 recipient of the Harold P. Vayhinger Memorial Award and the Outstanding Major in German Award.
Upon graduating from ONU, Stephanie moved to Nashville, TN and got a job working for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. She started teaching 8th grade Language Arts at Joelton Middle School where she served on the leadership team and represented her school at district meetings. In 2009 she was selected to serve on the inaugural faculty of Madison Middle School and had the privilege of opening and starting a brand new school. In 2010 Stephanie accepted a seat in Vanderbilt University's first cohort of students seeking a masters degree in Teaching and Learning in Urban Schools (TLUS), which required another school move, so she transferred to Wright Middle School in the fall of 2010. Wright Middle School is a high need, urban school where about seventy percent of the student population do not speak English at home and ninety-three percent of are living in poverty. She is still teaching at Wright and this year will be teaching an integrated class of 8th grade Literacy and US History. For the past eight years, at the conclusion of observations, colleagues and administrators have been asking her, "How did you think of/know to do this?!" to which Stephanie answers, "I went to college to be a teacher, and my program at ONU was outstanding."
While teaching full time, Stephanie completed her Masters degree at Vanderbilt. She presented her capstone research on cultivating true bilingualism in her ELL students at the annual NCTE conference as well as at the ALAN workshop, both national conferences. She is currently seeking publication for this research. She has represented Vanderbilt University at national training sessions and has been a guest speaker/substitute teacher for Peabody professors. She works closely with Vanderbilt researchers in the EL department, and enjoys learning about how to best teach students who do not speak English as a first language. In January of 2013, she was appointed to the board of directors for Mountain T.O.P. (Tennessee Outreach Project) a non-profit ministry dedicated to addressing the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of the Cumberland Mountain People. Since appointment, she has been selected to serve as a liaison between Mountain T.O.P. and Sewanee: The University of the South. They are collaborating to create a program in which college students are integrated into their surrounding community to make an impact through service.
Stephanie was Wright Middle School's teacher of the year in 2013. This award came quickly in just her third year at the school, and that can be attributed to her beliefs about teaching and learning and sense of teacher efficacy. Stephanie truly believes that every student can learn at high levels and behave appropriately. Therefore, she has extremely high expectations for her students that remain intact and at the forefront of her classroom despite copious, pervasive obstacles. She holds herself 100% personally responsible for the climate of her classroom and the amount of learning that occurs therein. She strives to make these beliefs evident daily in all aspects of her teaching—instructional decisions, expectations, planning, instruction, assessment, communications, and interactions. Stephanie defines her success as a teacher by the achievement and growth of her students. Ms. Carr is fueled by her desire to make a difference and to be the best and favorite teacher her students ever have. She hopes that students leave her class with an enriched sense of integrity, confident enough to self-advocate, and inspired to make the world a better place.
Joe Virant
Joe Virant (BA, MCED '03) is an Instructional Design Project Manager with Baker Hughes, Inc. In this role, he designs and develops technical training courses for adult learners. Prior to his move to the corporate sphere in 2012, he spent his career working in two large public school districts: Katy Independent School District and Spring Branch Independent School District, both in the Houston, Texas area.
In 2003, as a result of attending the Education Expo at King-Horn, Joe was hired for his first classroom teaching role: 5th grade Language Arts/Social Studies at Maurice L. Wolfe Elementary in Katy ISD. While there, he was named Teacher of the Year in 2006. Next he moved to teach 8th grade U.S. History at Spring Forest Middle School in Spring Branch ISD. In 2007, Joe returned to Katy ISD as an Instructional Technology Facilitator, supporting approximately 200 teachers at two elementary campuses through mentoring, co-teaching, and other professional development initiatives. In 2009 he transitioned to support 12 campuses in grades PK-12 as a Technology Integration Specialist and Lead for Emerging Technologies, and finally in 2011 became an Instructional Technology Coordinator, based in the Katy ISD administration building, where he helped lead district-wide initiatives including Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and a large mobile learning project involving 2,000+ students being issued their own Android-platform devices for the school year.
Joe is a driven-to-learn individual, a tinkerer, and asks a lot of questions. He works hard to retain a playful sensibility about the world. He is/has been a member of an alphabet soup of professional organizations (ASCD, ASTD, ISTE, NCTE, TCEA, TCTELA) and enjoys attending and presenting at conferences both in person and virtually. He has led conference sessions for Texas ASCD, Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA), and the International Society of Technology in Education (ISTE). Joe has also been a guest speaker for teacher candidates at the University of Houston-Clear Lake and Houston Community College.
While at ONU, Joe was an Academic Honor Scholar, a member of ASCD, and played bass trombone with many performing ensembles, including the ONUMB, Jazz Ensemble, ONU Symphony, Wind Ensemble, Pep Band, University Singers, and more. He continues his passion for music today as a member of The Billie Ledbetter Orchestra, a 20-piece swing-era big band that performs around Houston and across Texas.
