If one were to ask a student which chapel hour he preferred best out of the week, he would most likely answer, "Wednesday." The reason—on Wednesday the chapel choir sings. At the beginning of the fall term try-outs were held and twenty-two members chosen. Lloyd Sprecher was the director and Jane Larson served as accompanist for the full year. Rehearsal time was Monday morning while the rest of us were in the chapel service. The selections varied both in type and presentation, from hymns to a capella arrangements. The highlight of the year was a stirring cantata given at Christmas entitled "The Chorus in the Skies." First Row: M. Nelson, P. Anderson, B. Hoff, H. Holle, R. Rask, B. Nelson, H. Youngquist, D.

Although the Bethel Pep Band was not heard from too frequently, the group always attempted to make up for lack of programs in making each appearance a lively one. The various groups—woodwinds, brass, and percussion—were blended to-gether under the masterful touch of Conductor Howard Olson. Chief appearances were at basketball games, sophomore birthday party, and the freshman basket social. Other groups also get much op-portunity to sing or play on gospel team work, chapel programs or even giving concerts, as the quartet did. Three of the more active groups are pictured here. D.

Eight E When he speaks to an individual or a chapel group he lifts his listen-er to the heavens of his shining vision ; his divine power to raise the soul to heights proclaims him an inspired leader for God's chosen workers. KARL J. KARLSON Dean of Seminary Firmly turning all things into prescribed channels, this Doctor heals troubled minds and steadies wavering hearts with the steady glow of his own spirit and wisdom. THEODORE BERGMAN At his tongue's tip a witty thought—at his fingertips a glory of musical perfection ; the very skill and talent of his performance is in-citement to his pupils to master the keyboard. coup, _fc Pi zEliciEnt H.

CARLSON His voice, symbolic of the order-ly tenor of his thought and hab-it, echoes prepossessingly through many halls of endeavor. Dean of College EMERY A. JOHNSON Most popular mediator of campus misunderstandings, he represents to respectful student minds a figure of non-bias and complete comprehen-sion. DANIELS,ON Her flashing smile and dash of humor, like arrows sprung from the bow of her personality, quickly hit the bull's-eye of friendship with all of her acquaintances. Nine Ten REUBEN OMARK Because he himself is still a stu-dent . . . a pedant exacting and tireless . . . eager to pursue byways of new thought—his classes are swift-moving periods of "All alert !" MARTIN ERICKSON (Not Pictured) His personality and conversation glow with love, making his ac-quaintance a permeating experience in everyone's life. Of small delights she creates imaginative wonders and from too energetic college boys she evokes surprised submission. ENID PLATTS ALICE JOHNSON Infectious with happiness and aglow with friendliness, she has been drafted by the entire student body as bosom-buddy and con-fidante. EFFIE NELSON There are few people who can say so much in so few words ; few, too, who see and hear as much and repeat as little. ERIC ANDERSON (Not Pictured) Eric's steadiness is accounted for by the sturdy pillars of experience which have arisen in his decades of service. ADOLF OLSON The noise of a deep well is a pervading silence: when he states a case you find he has at one sweep answered all your unstated argu-ments. ESTHER SABEL Loyal to Christ and dedicated to service, she has with her few, sin-cere, well-chosen words given the encouragement and help many a student has searched for. HOKANSON Tempests raged at the half for the players and winds of anxiety whipped up lashing words but the storms soon subsided and from then on his character offered smooth sailing. NELS ST JERNSTROM The personality of Nels strikes a vibrant chord which quickly pene-trates the separating walls of un-familiarity, leaving the cherished possession of a friend. MRS. VERRAL The trig class has the privilege of knowing a teacher unknown to the others for the shyness of her sparkling eyes and her pleasing spirit win and secure a place for her in their hearts. MISS KEYES (Not Pictured) Though perhaps diminutive in size, it gives no indication of her personality, for life in every action and pleasantness in every word add up to an efficient instructor in .. . Miss Keyes. A. J. WINGBLADE Spanning two oceans and the con-tinents with his passionate zeal, this missionary - hearted professor has lighted innumerable torches courageously lifted to his own vision. Eleven E.

Larson, Miss L. Erickson. eiftE staff Bethel flourishes behind the efforts of these folk who perhaps do not receive their due thanks. The vision of Wyman Malmsten reaches out to paint a glimpse of the future, while the office-staff maintains our widespread influence and Eric masterfully keeps our campus beautiful. Rules and regulations are the backbone of any smoothly-run organization: few groups are fortunate enough to be headed by a board filled with selfless desire and surrendered to God's will. Their prayer and tireless hours of conference maintain Bethel as God has led. First Row: Miss E. Larson, Mrs. H. Johnson, Dr. C. Burton, Pres. Wingblade, Mrs. A. Fredin. Second Row: Dr. K.

The Seniors of the Seminary were probably the busiest persons on the campus. Not only did they carry a full Seminary course, but they also held student pastorates or preached in neighboring churches from time to time. The class met monthly in the home of a professor or student for the discussion of various problems and for a social time. One very patriotic act which the class as a body participated in was the giving of blood to the Red Cross. The class also tried to encourage other students to do the same. A special course, "Christianity in the Social Order," was held weekly for the Seniors by Professor C. E. Carlson. SHERMAN, BENJAMIN . . . College A man of cheerful yesterdays and confident tomorrows.

The remainder of the group who did not hold churches often spoke in the chapels of the vicinity. This class held several social events which were called "Fellowship by the Fireside". When enough snow arrived, "Fellowship by the Fireside" was abandoned for "Fellowship by the Toboggan". The greatest achievement of this class was the sponsoring of the Seminary banquet. The officers were: president, R. C. Peterson ; vice-president, J. Anderson ; secretary, Lily Johnson ; treasurer, H. Olson. Although this was the first year in the Seminary for the class, the members of it did not lag far behind their senior students in the number and variety of activities. As in the other classes, the majority of the men held student pastorates or preached frequently. This class also boasted two church missionaries. Individuals of the group went to donate blood to the Red Cross at regular intervals. In addition to the full-fledged members, there were nine special students who also took work in the college. Their officers were: president, Lloyd Sprecher ; vice-president, Paul Nagano ; secretary-treasurer, Gloria Mitchell. First Row: W. Quiring, A. Gustafson, W. Peterson, H. Carlson. Second Row: H.

Eighteen Nineteen COrrE3E: lifionzoTE1 S77Elfin2E12 Although the navy took its president and although only a few men were able to register, the Freshman class proved to be a very spirited organization. Its members could be found actively engaged in all soci-eties, sports, and publications. The large amount of spirit and co-opera-tion of the Freshman girls almost made up for the lack of male students. Although the class planned few activities, the parties that were held were most successful. The basket social was the crowning success of thr:.year for the class. The Freshman-Sophomore banquet held in the closing days of the school year was another of the session's high-lights that was made successful by the "Class of Forty-five". The officers for the year were: sponsor, Dean Johnson ; president, Robert Nelson ; vice-president, Kay Shimatsu ; secretary, Gretchen Clausen ; treasurer, Jane Larson. Twenty Although the ranks of the Sophomore class were depleted by the army, this organization fulfilled its purpose of helping in the provision of social activities for the school. The all-school birthday party, which is now becoming an annual occurrence, was the big event on the Sopho-more calendar. When the graduating class presented a gift to the school on their graduation, the class centered its attention on a donation to the coming men's dormitory.

The Christian Workers' Course is designed especially for those students desiring to become capable and efficient in Christian service. The enrollment was somewhat greater as compared with previous years, attaining in the past year a total of sixteen who have completed the full course while many more took only such subjects as they could along with their academic studies. Both gained much knowledge con-cerning God's Word, and were greatly strengthened spiritually. The main social activity of the year was a well attended party held in the home of Mr. A. J. Wingblade at the close of the first semester. The classes were taught by A. J. Wingblade, Miss Esther Sabel, and Prof. E. G. Norstrom, and became increasingly popular with many students. Lives were consecrated to full-time service as they became more acquainted with the Bible and more conscious of the need of laborers. Twenty-two tuclEnt Councd Left to Right: W. Ericson, L.

With Dr. Wingblade as its advisor, the organization of several gospel teams was accomplished and although restrictions on traveling kept the teams within the city area this year, they did much work in churches, missions, and chapels. The supervision of the various prayer meetings also is in the hands of this group and tracts were placed at the disposal of the student body. The crowning achievements of the council were the two Religious Emphasis Weeks. The first of these weeks occurred in the fall with Rev. Martin Erickson as the speaker. Rev. Walter Olson was speaker in the week of pre-Easter services. Religious Council officers for the first semester were: president, Robert Hails ; vice-president, Cecil Lindblom ; secretary, Gladyce Nord-quist ; treasurer, Arlene Peterson. The second semester vice-president was F. Robert Otto ; secretary, Helen Soder. First Row: H. Soder, R. Hails, Pres. Wingblade. Second Row: F. Otto, A. Peterson, C. Lindblom. Probably the most important student organization is the group which governs the activities of the entire school. This group is called the Student Council. This membership is made up of the cabinet and each important club or council of the school is allowed to send one representa-tive to the meetings. Therefore the council is a democratic group. The purpose of the council is four-fold ; to organize the members of the student body of Bethel, to promote and have general control of the several student activities, to foster a wholesome spirit within the student body, and to encourage friendship and co-operation between the students and also between the various organizations. The officers of past year were: president, Harold Carlson ; vice-president, Dana Larson ; secretary-treasurer, Violet Carlson ; "B'' club, Bob Bergerud ; Seminary, Bob Peterson ; Religious Council, Arlene Peter-son ; College, Lloyd Norstrom ; Music, Wilbur Erickson ; Publications, Janet Rye; Alexis, Gordon Thompson ; and Forensics, Lloyd Sprecher.

Why is the Missionary Band one of Bethel's most active and success-ful groups ? It is because the organization succeeds in fulfilling its pur-pose— encouraging interest in mission work. Interesting meetings were held once a month for inspirational missionary messages. Proof of that inspiration was seven hundred dollars given by Bethel students to a Baptist mission school in Jorhat, Assam. Another activity carried on by the organization was a monthly study group, which met to learn of mission work and problems. The president of the band is a missionary who has served several years in Africa, Harold McClure ; vice-president, Dale Bjork ; secretary, Alma Iblings; and treasurer, Cecil Lindblom. Meet Bethel's only group whose membership is made up entirely of those of the fairer sex. This group consists of all College and Seminary girls, teachers, and faculty wives. Monthly meetings were held, and on such dates as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and St. Valentine's Day special programs were given. A tea was given in the spring in honor of the graduating members. The object of this group was to bring all Bethel women together, so that they might become better acquainted. The officers of the Bethel Women's Association for 1943-44 were: president, Eunice Anderson ; vice-president, Carol Rexion ; secretary, Ethel Heitzman ; and treasurer, Arlene Peterson. Seated: E.

The aim of the group is to bring before those students who are interested in Christian work the problems that they are apt to meet in the church. The monthly programs consisted of speeches, panel discussions and skits. For the first semester the officers were: president, Richard Sleiter; vice-president, Joel Anderson ; treasurer, Willis Wessman ; and secretary, Miriam Johanson. During the second semester the cabinet consisted of Gordon Thompson, president; Robert Peterson, vice-president ; William Peterson, treasurer; and Gloria Mitchell, secretary. 0 CLIEt, The college club was organized several years ago to attempt to bring the various groups of the school together for programs of a more literary nature. At present, how-ever, the group has not been as active as it was in previous years. The future of the club is being planned for by the officers: president, W. Peterson; vice-president, Violet Carlson; secretary, Alice Olson ; and treasurer, Julie Ann Erickson. The first semester officers were: president, W. Haring; secretary-treasurer, W. Ericson.

Under the able leadership of Prof. Nels Stjernstrom the chorus has been able to complete a number of highly successful concerts. Among these were: a chapel program, special Twin Cities church programs, and assistance in male chorus con-certs. It is the purpose of the organization to provide opportunities of musical development and training for Bethel girls. Pianist for the chorus is Ruth Rask ; president, Alma Iblings ; vice-president and student direc-tor, Marie Green, with the secretary-treasurer being Ruth McClure. First Row: L. Carlson, D.

This year's chorus consisted of nineteen members with Professor Nels Stjernstrom as direc-tor. The chorus presented only two concerts. The first of these was in the fall at the Central Baptist Church of St. Paul. The second, in the closing days of the first semester, was held in Jackson Hall in Minne-apolis. Plans were being made for an annual concert tour, but because several members of the chorus were ineligible for the second semester's work, the plans were discontinued. The remaining members continued to practice each week. Wilbur Ericson was the pianist. Other officers were: president, Gunnar Hoglund ; vice-president, Dale Bjork ; secretary, David Danielson ; treasurer, Robert Norstrom ; librarian, Howard Olson.

This year twelve issues of the Clarion have been published. Bar-bara Edson was the Editor-in-Chief, and Carol Rexion was the Assist-ant Editor.

Here is the only line in which we can praise ourselves. We are very proud of the fact that even under present conditions, the Spire could come out. Although rebuffs were frequent, the editor, Dana Larson, did a yeoman duty and kept the staff working. He worked with the able assistance of Janet Rye, and business manager, William Peterson. So let us take a bow to our own applause, and we hope we can also bow to your appreciation. Thirty-four Thirty-five 1.012ZET efiaTC_El cStaciEnt 0,3107,1 FOREST LAKE When a difficult project proves to be successful, we at Bethel want to be the first to congratulate those of oul group who did the work. The Forest Lake Baptist Church is a successful project undertaken by students of Bethel. Started by Rev. M. W. Samuelson, the church grew, and now under Wesley Lindblom the work continues to expand. A Sunday School is developing very satisfactorily, and the progressive group is already planning to build a church. ST. LOUIS PARK St. Louis Park is the baby of the Minnesota State Conference and proves to be a grow-ing child. The work was begun with power of prayer by the faithful from that district. Quick action of the Conference brought about the purchase of an abandoned tavern, which has been renovated. Dale Bjork now has been serving faithfully since the regular work was established. HIGHLAND PARK BAPTIST CHURCH Highland Park Baptist Church was started as a mission work in October, 1941, in the Highland Theater. In the spring of 1943, the church was organized with twenty charter members. In September, 1940, the government granted permission to build a basement church at the cost of $8,500. The basement was completed and dedicated February 20, 1944. The Bethel student body has always been interested in the Highland Park project. From the beginning of the church in 1941, Bethel students have taught in the Sunday School and helped in various ways. At the present time, Gunnar Hoglund is the pastor. North, east, south, west — with St. Paul as the hub of a giant wheel, the student pastors spread out to cover a great area each Sunday. Some of these students have churches in the Cities, some speak at frequent times in the area, some have chapels in the outlying districts, and some travel hundreds of miles to their charge. It is a great work— a work good for the valuable experience obtained, and good for the propagation of the gospel of peace. Forest Lake, St. Louis Park, Highland Park.

Bethel contacts the surrounding community in several ways— through student pastors, through boys' and girls' club work and also through the gospel teams. Although the chief purpose of these teams is the spreading of God's word, the students also receive much benefit in the form of experience in program planning and leadership. The Religious Council supervises the activities of these groups, makes up the groups and appoints leaders for each semester. This year there were five teams. H. Carlson's team and the bus. and 0171'1 1 Crat Under the supervision of Grace Swanson, Arleth Brask, Bob Bergerud and Lily Johnson, classes in religious instruction were held every Saturday night in the Seminary classrooms. The average attendance was twenty-five throughout the year. After an hour and a half of Bible study, chorus singing and Scripture memorizing, the rest of the evenings were devoted to various games in the gymnasium, fol-lowed by light refreshments. This work served a double pur-pose— that of giving the young people of the neighborhood a place to spend their Saturday evenings profitably and enjoyably and also to give the students real practice in applying the class-room lessons on missionary and young people's work. 00112Er gEan21 Thirty-nine First Row: E.

The other three were played at St. Columba, Macal-ester, and St. Francis. Margaret Swanson was the manager of the team which consisted of fifteen members. The captain was Margaret Appelquist, who was also high point-scorer. Betty Nyman and Eunice Wood followed in First Row: G. Thompson, E. Johnson, R. Hails, W. Wessman, high scoring. M. Lundh.

Forty Active Conference competition was lacking from this year's major-sport activities. The basketball team did play several games with the nearby schools and made two trips. Mr. Gronseth and Mr. Hokanson of Augsburg were student-coaches for the year. Baseball, too, is a major sport and games were played with teams both here and away. The first two games were decisive victories but later scores were not available at this printing. In Front: B. Peterson. First Row: W. Wessman, W. Lindblom, C. Anderson, C. Sahlin, E. Anderson.

IRaiEgaff Forty-one Organized for the purpose of furthering the athletic activities of the school, the "B" Club, composed of fellows who have made a major sport "B" letter, has done much this past year in making the Seminary gymnasium a gathering place for minor-sport enthusiasts. Among those sports encouraged by the "B" Club were ping pong, shuffle-board and handball. The equipment was purchased with student funds for use in the renovated Seminary gym. To incite more vigor to the program, tournaments were played during the winter months. Badminton was also popu-larized by the purchase of that equipment. Later on in the spring tennis playing was prevalent and matches were held with neighboring colleges. Forty-two Catz, eanz12tti, aE eoffE,E IRttifcling . . College Building . . The main office . .

If one were to ask a student which chapel hour he preferred best out of the week, he would most likely answer, "Wednesday." The reason—on Wednesday the chapel choir sings. At the beginning of the fall term try-outs were held and twenty-two members chosen. Lloyd Sprecher was the director and Jane Larson served as accompanist for the full year. Rehearsal time was Monday morning while the rest of us were in the chapel service. The selections varied both in type and presentation, from hymns to a capella arrangements. The highlight of the year was a stirring cantata given at Christmas entitled "The Chorus in the Skies." First Row: M. Nelson, P. Anderson, B. Hoff, H. Holle, R. Rask, B. Nelson, H. Youngquist, D.

Although the Bethel Pep Band was not heard from too frequently, the group always attempted to make up for lack of programs in making each appearance a lively one. The various groups—woodwinds, brass, and percussion—were blended to-gether under the masterful touch of Conductor Howard Olson. Chief appearances were at basketball games, sophomore birthday party, and the freshman basket social. Other groups also get much op-portunity to sing or play on gospel team work, chapel programs or even giving concerts, as the quartet did. Three of the more active groups are pictured here. D.

Perry family seeks 'space to grieve'
North Stonington — Debra Denison, 47, who shot and killed her two young grandsons Tuesday evening in a van parked near Lake of Isles then turned the gun on herself, had suffered from "split-personality disorder," according to the boys' great-uncle.
Robert White, great-uncle of Ashton Perry, 6 months, and Alton Perry, 2, said Thursday that Denison had been suffering from dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder, and had been in "remission" for 17 months.
White read a brief statement Thursday afternoon under the awning of Grace Fellowship Evangelical Free Church on Route 184, asking that the boys' parents, Brenda and Jeremy Perry, be given privacy to grieve.
The family doesn't blame the day care center, he said, referring to Kidds & Co. in North Stonington, where Denison picked up her grandsons Tuesday afternoon. He said the Perrys know the day care center followed protocol.
With the uncle were Jeremy Perry's aunt Kathy White and two close family friends, Rachel and Jim Pinkham. Also present was Pastor Bob Patriel of Grace Fellowship.
Saying "they all need their space to grieve and time to heal," White said the boys' parents would give their own statement "when the time is right." Right now, "they are in dire need of their space," he said.
White said funeral arrangements have not been completed. He thanked the community for the "outpouring of support."
Of the two little boys, whom he last saw a week ago Sunday, White said they were "the happiest two little boys you've ever seen."
"I mean, they were just babies," he said. "Innocent children."
A troubled history
Documents filed at New London Superior Court relating to Denison's 1992 divorce from her second husband, Keith Rowley, and subsequent custody battle over their daughters, Brenda Perry and her older sister Jessica, detail a troubled emotional history and prolonged legal bickering in the dissolution of the marriage.
In February 1990, Denison apparently intentionally overdosed on pills before getting into a car accident, after which 31 "brief" suicide notes were found, according to court documents. In the fall of the previous year, documents say, Denison tried to drown herself.
After the car accident, Denison was hospitalized in the psychiatric ward at The William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich. She later said it was not a suicide attempt and disputed that she had an alcohol addiction, according to court documents.
While a court-appointed psychologist said Denison didn't demonstrate any "seriously disturbed behavior," he recommended primary custody of Brenda and Jessica be awarded to Keith Rowley in 1992, citing Denison's "frequent absence" from her children and her "limited awareness" of her children's needs. She was granted visitation rights.
Those rights were terminated temporarily in August of that year, but she was awarded custody of the girls a couple of years later.
Denison's troubles continued over the years. In 2010, her older son, Christopher Allen, was sentenced to 32 years in prison for felony murder. Records also show that 14 judgments and tax liens have been placed on the Denisons' Sherwood Drive home since 1997.
A vigil, and other ways to help
A candlelight vigil for the Perry family will be held at 7 tonight at the North Stonington recreation fields at 25 Rocky Hollow Road, next to the firehouse on Route 2. Pastor Larry Chappell of the North Stonington Bible Church will lead the service.
Those wishing to donate to the Perry Family Fund can donate at any Chelsea Groton Bank branch. Checks and letters may be mailed to Chelsea Groton Bank, P.O. Box 11, North Stonington, CT 06359.
The Gallup Hill School in Ledyard, where Brenda Perry was hired as a paraprofessional in January, will also be collecting donations to help cover the family's expenses. The collection will continue for one month. Contact the school at (860) 536-9477 for more information.

The Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife is offering wood duck nesting boxes for sale.
The Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife is offering wood duck nesting boxes for sale.
The boxes are available to the public for a discounted price of $30. The boxes are made of low-maintenance, easy-to-clean plastic. Wildlife staff maintains approximately 350 wood duck boxes on state wildlife areas, and has found no difference between wood and plastic boxes in terms of nesting success or preference of use by wood ducks and other species.
To attract wood ducks, and avoid competition from other species, the ideal location for wood duck boxes is in wooded areas or forested wetlands installed at least six feet above the ground on predator-proof poles. Although the boxes are designed primarily for wood ducks, they also attract other species, including the screech-owl and the European starling.
For more information, call (302) 834-8433 or (302) 284-1077.

Oh, I didn't know the Dome was back to publishing... thanks for the info.
I think I can guess what at least one of the "number of issues facing the life of the Church" is.
How in Mor's good nameone hundred fifty four postsNo Rachel Weisz picSelam
What angers me greatly is that Bishop Tikhon calls for Archbishop Job to be suspended, deposed, or retired for his "schismatic behavior" when Archishop Job is tirelessly working for the good of the Church, missionizing, spreading the word, etc.  Bishop Tikhon, on the other hand, seems to be online most of the time.  Makes me angry, to say the least.Anastasios
+Tikhon FITZGERALD has said this?  When/where?  That is VERY disappointing.
It's on that ocanews site, in the letter Bp Tikhon (Fitzgerald) wrote to the Metropolitan.
If I understood His Grace's letter and related Web postings correctly, his anger (for lack of a better word) is directed at what he sees as Bishop +Job's "unchurchly" behavior, i.e., taking a non-conciliar approach to the situation.  I may have this wrong, but my basic understanding is that +Job wrote a letter to his flock that said something like, "I tried, but they wouldn't listen to me."  I don't know who's right here, but that's at least how I understand the situation behind the letter.  Does anyone have more/better info?
So he (+Job) should be deposed or something for being untactful.....riiiiiiiight.

Don't believe everything you think.
The more I know, the less I know.
So he (+Job) should be deposed or something for being untactful.....riiiiiiiight. And ftr, +Tikhon is MY bishop and I think this is further support that HE should be the one to retire and let his auxiliary +Benjamin take over the diocese.
That is essentially what the Patriarch of Jerusalem was deposed for...not that I support such a thing, but lack of tact does seem to be sufficient excuse
I'd say that you're downplaying that situation just a tad.
So I get home from Church today and Dad says, "well son, I just read about your Church* in the newspaper."http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/25/AR2006022501266.html(* Of course he doesn't know about the administrative divisions in the Orthodox Church, so no, I am not suddenly an OCA member lol).
If your dad is Roman Catholic he will surely understand that it isnt the church but the churchmen who are at fault.
After all is said and done, who will we trust with our hard-earned money? It will take many generations to get this scandal behind us because we have been burned.
Perhaps we are living in hell!
Eh, this isn't even 1/1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 of what hell is like... but it sure feels terrible, don't it?
Interesting decision by the synod... it is worth mentioning that it does not provide for review pre-2001, which is when many of these allegations say the worst of the problems happened...
I still wonder if anything substantial will be found in the contemporary time period; but I think the bishops are a bit smarter than that.  I'm sure they know that there are no real serious irregularities in the period in question (2001+).  Even if they do adopt best practices and whatnot, and make some actual steps to making sure this kind of thing can't happen again, they still need to address the alleged problems with the 1990's and what is probably a substantial amount of money.
More stalling. More of the same. Why should we have expected differently? They continue to take the tack of pretending the decade of the 1990's never happened and hoping that the current cries for accountability will subside. This statement oozes with false piety. It is arrogant of the Holy Synod to so flagrantly ignore the outcries for an audit of the 1990's and then turn around and exhort us with references to the Gospel.#2 Name Withheld By Request on 2006-03-02 07:48
Unfortunately, the statement failed to address the most important years in question, 1995 through 2003, were not addressed and no independent audit recommended! So much for restoring trust, accountability, ethics and integrity to the OCA.Furthermore, the Synod failed to address whether the serious allegations made by Deacon Wheeler (and supported by others) are TRUE or FALSE?Somehow, I'm not surprised.This is known as the "Ostrich System of Management" perfected in the OCA. Burry your head in the sand and hope it all quietly goes away by itself. Better still, they will use the Great Lent to help silence further debate and cquestions and they will remind them that during Lent we are not supposed to "judge" or "cause trouble" or "speak out" against the hierarchy.If this is what passes for "leadership" in the OCA in this day and age, we are in deeper trouble than some financial shenanigans. I said it before and I will repeat it again, there is a serious and deep spiritual crisis in the very heart of the church hierarchy and administration. Until the truth comes out, there is true repentance and accountability, and a genuine initiative to clean house and change course, things will continue to degrade and descend into darkness. Lord Have Mercy!#3 Chris Banescu, Esq. on 2006-03-02 09:00
I don't know - while on one side, I would be incredibly distrustful, on the other hand, if this drives people from Orthodoxy then how strong was their faith to begin with?
I was just wondering how many people would leave the OCA, for another jurisdiction - not leave Orthodoxy altogether, although I could see that happening.
Right, right.... sorry I didn't see that originally, it was in front of my face.
The internet: helping promote fiscal accountability, and the dissemination of photographs!
I wonder how many people will leave the OCA because of this, not that I would blame them.
Nah, he's Lutheran. But yes, he does know that. I just cringe whenever Orthodoxy is put in a negative light--especially by our own people! LOLA.

About Amy
I believe, within all of us, Is the ability to express something distinctive and original. I work to help students discover their unique voice, whether it be through singing, acting, or writing. I share with my students an array of tools to gain the ability
My students have gone on to become recording artists, Broadway performers, movie actors, Blues and cabaret artists, and published writers.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am an empathetic teacher, sensitive to the student's individual process of learning. My singing lessons usually start with breathing and relaxation exercises. Vocal technique exercises come next. When the student is fully warmed up, we will begin to work on songs. It is important that students be a part of the process of picking material since the more personally they respond to the material the more apt they are to become engaged in their lessons. After three to six months beginning students will have gained an understanding of the fundamentals of breathing, relaxation, and basic performance skills. With more advanced students the focus will be on range extension and the on-going development of vocal style through song interpretation and performance related exercises.
As an acting teacher and coach, I tailor my classes to the needs of each student. I utilize improvisatory and sensory techniques to help unleash spontaneity. I also encourage the students to use their personal experiences as a way to access a full range of emotions. I enjoy working with the student on script analysis, so as to discover the underlying motivations of the character the student is working on.
Creative and Lyric Writing
I use prompts as a way to get the student writing. Often, I will ask the student to write for stretches of time without editing themselves. It is important to unleash imagination before beginning the process of editing. Many times it is the unexpected that is the most compelling.
*** Studio Equipment ***
home- 10 minutes away from Manhattan with piano, seating for parents
-practice studio seating for parents
*** Travel Equipment ***
I provide a piano, cd/mp3 player and an large library of songbooks to work from. The student should bring sheet music of songs they want to work on and a recording device.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in teaching how to sing rock, pop, musical theater, jazz, cabaret, and blues without hurting the voice as well as method acting instruction.

Rachel's students have gone on nati
Owner/Teacher: Rachel M.
SAG-AFTRA, VASTA, NATS (certified), NARAS, NAMTA, BMI, MAC, NJMEA, NAfME. NJ Theatre Alliance, & Certified Artist Developer with Conquer Entertainment,
16+ years of teaching to children - teens - adults (Ages 6+ group classes, 8+ private lessons)
Rachel is a member of SAG-AFTRA, The National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS certified), VASTA (Voice And Speech Trainers Association), NARAS (The Grammy Awards), NAMTA, NJMEA (New Jersey Music Educators Association), NAfME (National Association of Music Education), NYSSMA (New York State School Music Association,) MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs), The NJ Theatre Alliance, NSA (Nashville Songwriting Association International), and BMI (Broadcast Music Inc). She has been teaching Bel Canto singing technique for the modern singer and Stella Adler-Stanislavsky-Chekhov-Meisner acting technique for all mediums for 16+ years to children, teens, and adults.
Rachel has trained at The Hages Music Studio under a master teacher for 22+ years in the Bel Canto singing technique for all genres, studied at The Stella Adler Studio of Acting in NYC as well as recorded and released her first album called "Just Meant To Be". Other credits include commercials, films, TV shows (One Tree Hill, AMC, Food Network), music videos (including Rachel's singles "Don't Even Try", "You Will Love On"), & numerous stage credits (Off-Broadway/NYC Theatre). Rachel most recently was seen in the reading of a new play "Vanishing Son" by Peter Gil-Sheridan performed in NYC.

Rachel has also been fortunate to have worked & performed with many people in the business including Grammy-Tony-Emmy Award Winners/Nominees.
Whether you are a parent looking for instruction for your child, or for yourself, Rachel can customize the right program that best suits your needs. Her students come from all walks of life and have different goals, but they all have one thing in common. They love performing and have the desire to be the best at their chosen craft (singing/acting).
Some students want to sing/act for themselves, others want to sing/act for a hobby, and others want to be professional performers. That's where Rachel comes in. No matter what your goals are, she can help. Rachel teaches her students how to become true artists without tearing them down and without taking away the part of them that makes them unique. She teaches healthy technique that is based off of the human anatomy; the science of how the body/mind works and how the body/mind can work as efficiently as possible while singing or acting.
Learning how to sing/act is a process and doesn't happen overnight. Rachel's ultimate goal as a teacher is to not only make her students the best performers and singers they can be, but also give them all of the proper tools they need to have a more productive mind frame and become self-sufficient. Of course this can take years to master. It takes time and dedication.
SINGING: Bel Canto singing technique for the modern singer is taught in private and group classes. No one sounds like old opera singers, even if the student wants to sing opera. Students are allowed to choose most of the material they learn in the lesson. There will be times when Rachel will suggest a song to a student but if the student doesn't enjoy the song, they will work as a team to find a song that does work for the student. Gain a better tone quality, complete control of your voice, bigger range, more flexibility, and confidence. Learn healthy voice technique, how to fully take care of your own voice so you can sing for the rest of your life (even after lessons), and become a self sufficient performer for life.
ACTING: Stella Adler, Stanislavsky, Chekhov, and Meisner Acting Technique for Theatre/Camera is taught in private and group classes. All students are exposed to each technique and Rachel sees which technique each student responds to the most. Once the student and Rachel are able to identify the technique, Rachel continues to use the terminology of that technique for the remainder of the time the student is in lessons. Students eventually are able to play roles truthfully and realistically, even if the roles are opposite of the student's own personality.
1. Gain a lifelong, solid, consistent, and healthy technique that they can always count on in practice and performance.
2. Gain specific technical and personal notes in a notebook and/or computer file that is organized and always accessible for review.
3. Gain artistry, performance skills, and a strong voice that will look/sound authentic; Singers will sound appropriate to whatever style of music they are singing. (No fake sound or look.) Actors will just be in the moment and truthful whether they are on stage or in front of the camera.
4. Gain the confidence to always put on a great performance.
5. Gain focus and a more productive mind frame.
6. Become self-sufficient by knowing how to assess a problem and then fix it without creating a new issue.
*** Studio Equipment ***
PRIVATE HOME STUDIO: Keyboard, speakers (smartphone, iPod, iPad), CD player, tape recorder/player, digital recorder, music stand, mirror, laptop, sheet music selections, HD video camera, tripod, video editing software, audio editing software, USB microphone, and high speed WiFi internet. Full PA, two mixers (one mixer with 8 inputs and the other with 4), 8 Lavaliere microphones ("body mics"), multiple hand held microphones, laptop stand, and music stands.
*** Specialties ***
We specialize in Bel Canto voice technique for the modern singer. Each student can sing all genres without sounding too classical, "fake", and without losing their voice while singing for long periods of time.
Other Specialties: Teaching acting technique for theatre-TV-Film (Stella Adler, Stanislavsky, Chekhov, & Meisner), performance skills, songwriting, and creating self-sufficient singers-actors-performers (Artist Development).
CANCELLATION: 48 hour lesson cancellation policy and emergencies (determined by Rachel Menconi) are handled on a case by case basis. All students (or their parents/guardian if under 18) who have scheduled vacations and other activities (meetings, parties, school shows, concerts, rehearsals...etc) that interfere with the student's regularly scheduled lesson time, need to contact Rachel Menconi as soon as the vacation/other activity is scheduled but no later than two weeks in advanced before their missed regularly scheduled lesson to prevent from forfeiting the lesson.
MAKE-UPS: Make-Up lessons will be scheduled if time allows. No Make-Up lesson or class will be given to 'no shows' or "late cancellation", and no extra time to extend their lesson will be given to students who are late to their lesson or class. If there is ever a time Rachel Menconi is running late, extra time will be given to make the lesson a full 60 minutes. If Rachel Menconi needs to reschedule, a Make-Up lesson will be scheduled as close to the same week as possible. Make-Up lessons are scheduled at Rachel Menconi's discretion.
ONLINE LESSONS FOR IN-PERSON LESSON CLIENTS: In the event that the student is sick but still would like their lesson, an online lesson will be scheduled instead. Students can NOT come to their in person lesson sick, coughing, sneezing, with a runny nose, cold, flu, allergies, fever, etc. (This is to make sure no germs will be spread).
An online lesson will also be scheduled if there is bad weather, if a student is having car trouble, or any other reason for the student not being able to physically get to Rachel Menconi's private studio during their normally scheduled lesson time. Online lessons are conducted through FaceTime, Google, Hangouts, or Skype.
Lessons are weekly, on the same time/day of the week unless we have rescheduled or we have discussed in writing another lesson plan. If the student's lesson falls on a holiday, we will either reschedule or if no other day is available, resume the following week.
If a student is going to be late they need to contact Rachel Menconi as soon as possible, to let her know they will be late. Lessons will end on time unless she is able to extend the lesson due to a late student or her schedule allows for it though please understand, Rachel Menconi would be extending a courtesy and would not be obligated to do so. If on the rare occasion Rachel Menconi is running late, she will always make up the time.
Parents/Guardians are ONLY permitted to stay for the first lesson and are NOT permitted to sit in for any other lesson/class unless invited. This is to promote good/strong teacher-student relationship quickly and easily. Also, many times students feel more comfortable when their parents/guardians leave.
Of course there will be times when the parent will be invited back in at the end of some of the lesson to showcase progress.
COMMUNICATION: Due to Rachel Menconi normally scheduling students one right after another without breaks, being in the recording studio, performing, or being on set, the best way to contact her is through text AND email. Please ALWAYS leave messages when calling Rachel Menconi with your name, contact info, AND the reason you are calling. Please be specific. Thank you!
"I try to be as fair as possible to both parties when it comes to cancellations, rescheduling, lateness, and make ups. Have a concern or question? Just talk with me. I'm all about communication!" - Rachel Menconi

Improv acting is a completely different realm of theater. It requires you to think on your feet and to be able to turn a situation that meant nothing to you five seconds ago into an entire scene. It explores every corner of your imagination. I will teach you different improv exercises as well as games. I will get you sharp so you're ready for any improv situation.
About Sarah
My name is Sarah and I am honored you have chosen to look at my profile. Finding the right teacher is so important! I always try to make sure that I accommodate what is best for each individual student when I approach teaching. Before we get into my teach methods, let me tell you a bit about myself and my background.
I graduated from Lees-McRae College in May 2017 with a BFA in musical theater and a minor in art and design. I know at a glance it may be overwhelming how many classes I teach. You see, as Musical Theatre Major I had to learn a VAST amount of topics. I studied many forms of dance, took advance makeup courses, vocal training, acting, along with all of the sub categories that go with it; not to mention with my minor in art and design I know my way around with a paint brush/camera/computer. Art, in all form
When I had my internship at the Arkansas Arts Center Children's Theatre and I had to learn ALL aspects of theatre and I had the pleasure to work with kids every day.
I was training American Sign Language at Northern Virginia Community College back in 2012. In 2015 I studied under an ASL master from Gallaudet University. I have continued to further my knowledge of ASL every day. I was recently the ASL captain at work who helped make sure all signs were done correctly and expressed properly.
My goal is to help you learn what you are craving to know! I try to not charge too high for lessons, I know that this is something that is for fun and is not always a possibility so I try to keep it at a lowish price so that everyone has a chance to learn. I am very flexible to schedules. I am willing to have a regular time or switching it up weekly; I have students who travel for a living so they are always on a different time zone; no matter the obstacle I will make it work for you!
Something that is great to know about me is that I never stop training, pursuing growth and knowledge. I read books in these various fields to learn more and more, take master classes, and train with my own vocal coaches. I think art - on any platform, is a great way to get out of your head, free your mind, and open up yourself. So this can be for professional training, a hobby you always wanted to pursue, or a dream you wanted to chase after.
In my class with you, or you child, I will make an individualized lesson plan that focus around what skills you already have, what skills you aim to improve/gain, and how you learn. I am very familiar with the fact that we are ALL different, which means we will all learn DIFFERENTLY. I am willing to explain something in as many ways as one needs in order to understand. I like to think of my lessons as a "safe place" to explore, have fun, grow, and be okay with making mistakes. We will always start with the basics, understand the core of the craft - for example in singing that would be our vocal anatomy and how it all connects together. I use props to help make the concept more visual and graspable as well as diagrams. This is not something someone will pick up in one lesson, so don't come in saying "I can't", you can, you just have to learn HOW. I will show you the how. Remember, this is a learning process, we must embrace each step of our growth.
Some background of how I came to do what I do:
I have been working professionally for theatres for five years now; which has had me living in various towns in NC, OH, AR, and traveling nationwide for tours. I have a lot of experience under my belt for my years. I began taking performance classes as young as age 2 when I started ballet, then I began singing in choir in third grade. I started being in awe of sign language when I saw an interpreter working her magic around age ten and I asked my mom for a sign language book. Expanding my knowledge is what I do for fun, so when you pick me you pick someone who is constantly growing and learning more which will ultimately benefit the student.
I teach a variety of classes that, for the most part, circle around the arts! Some of my classes include, but are not limited to: Acting, Child Acting, Improv Audition Prep, Various styles of "Singing" classes, Ear Training, Musical Theatre, Music Performance, Various "Art" classes, Facial Exercises (Which is great for singers, and those who speak a lot day to day to help relieve tension in the face), and more!
For an explanation on each class, I will be recording a video that describes them and posting that on here soon! There is a video trailer of me singing and dancing that is currently available. If you want to know anything more at all please do not hesitate to send me a message and I will respond as quickly as I possibly can!

Acting is such a broad term! What are your goals? Do you want to be in films? Do you want to do Shakespeare? Do you want to be in a sit com? Depending upon what your interests are and where you want to go, we will build a plan together. My philosophy on acting techniques is that they are tools to help you, not tests you pass if you're a good actor and fail if you're a bad one. Different techniques work for different people and it is our job to find out what inspires you.
I've worked as a professional actor for many years, performed on Broadway, have my MFA in Performing Arts, and my BA in Arts and Education. I was an assistant director to Tony-winner Sharon Ott and have written and produced my own work. I have experience in both stage and camera acting, which have specific technical differences, but are both a lot of fun once you get used to the medium. Audition technique, preparing monologues, and creating promotional materials are also things I can help with. Anyone who wants to ...

I provide a positive and fun hands on environment that allows for nothing but the growth and success for my students.
For private consultation sessions I start at the beginning. We begin by assessing your "type", what type of work you see yourself doing, and how you want to progress in your acting. I then suggest work for my students to familiarize theirselves with ranging from books to television and plays, so that they feel immersed in the world they desire to enter.
For audition prep I work to make sure my students feel prepared and excited for their audition pieces so that they have the confidence to walk into the room and book the role!
For audition prep, I coach:
-Scene Work

About Simone
I provide a positive and fun hands on environment that allows for nothing but the growth and success for my students.
For private consultation sessions I start at the beginning. We begin by assessing your "type", what type of work you see yourself doing, and how you want to progress in your acting. I then suggest work for my students to familiarize theirselves with ranging from books to television and plays, so that they feel immersed in the wo
For audition prep I work to make sure my students feel prepared and excited for their audition pieces so that they have the confidence to walk into the room and book the role!

About Ophelie W.Close
I have studied, worked as an actress and a director and taught in Berlin, London and New York - both in theater and opera. I was the first person to ever be offered the Juilliard Opera directing Fellowship two years in a row (where I worked primarily with Postgraduate students) and have worked with actors and singers across the country as well as in several German A-houses. After studying a variety of acting methods over the years, I have developed my own method of approaching a character or an audition monologue/song, which encompasses the physical, emotional and intellectual in order to create an easily accessible three-dimensional person. I will not only help you apply said method, but also teach you the tools so you may access it on your own at any time. Finally, I have received critical acclaim as a young director, and - as a teacher - I have a track record of helping people get hired from major auditions.
About Ophelie
I graduated as an Associate of King's College London with a degree in Philosophy and significant experience acting and directing for independent theater companies in London.
I then went on to work as an assistant director in major German opera houses, where I learned how to apply the same teaching and dierecting methods with singers.
At only 23 I was offered the Juilliard Opera Directing Fellowship - and I was the first person, to whom it was offered two years in a row. At Juilliard, I mostly worked with the few selected Postgraduate students.
I have considered accepting an adjunct teaching position, but chose to go on directing and tea

As a German native speaker, she prepared me for all of my audition trips to Germany. With her guidance in perfecting diction and conversational style, I gave a confident tour. I also sought out her method when giving a series of masterclasses on how to interpret characters.
We worked together right before my first audition for the Met, and I got the job! You'll love working with this director who has experience working with the greatest opera houses in the world."

About Peter
I am originally from Alexandria, Virginia, and have previously taught at the American Conservatory Theater's Young Conservatory as well as A.C.T.'s Citizen Artist program, where I coached disenfranchised youth in the Bay Area. Given the training I have received from some of the world's top institutions (A.C.T., RADA, Yale, Georgetown), I have a significant breadth of knowledge to offer both as an educator and as an active NYC based actor.
Students will be taught to examine all kinds of "ways in" to their work, no matter what we cover, and I will tailor every coaching session to the student's needs, whether that be learning to execute a safe and effective vocal warm up to

I also consulted with Peter on some Shakespearean work. His his deep insight and perspective on the material, based on his professional experience with it, drove my advancement.
Peter clearly enjoys bringing out the potential in other actors.
He is fun, too.

About Dakota W.Close
View Full Profile
I trained at the same school as Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), Ray Fischer (Justice League), Tyne Daly (look her up, you won't be sorry) and Jason Derulo. I am well versed in dialects, American Standard, stage combat (armed and unarmed), film acting, acting for stage, classical, acting and more! Even if you just want to work on a monologue. Im happy to help! I've been a working actor both on stage and screen for almost three years now, but let's be real. We all need a side hustle. I can even help you with learning how to self-produce/promote on a budget.
About Dakota
Now if you are a parent, let me direct you to the babysitting agency Pinch Sitters, on whose website you can see that I work with kids and have been background checked through the company.
