It is very difficult for me to write this letter as I consider your role as my pastor, but I can longer walk away from what I perceive to be an unjust decision. I write from a place of pain and discouragement, because I feel as I mentioned during our discussion that the decision you made tonight against me was unjust and wrong. I mentioned to you that each time, I have gone into meetings you have always sided against me. Two weeks ago, I spoke with Sister Mason and I told her that I don’t feel like I’m a member of the church, that I felt because the church pays me, people can talk to me anyway the wish, that they can treat me the way they choose because I get paid. What transpired on tonight is consistent with those sentiments. You demoted me and said your decision was not punishment. Was it punishment or retaliation for me invoking my agreement with the church, a way to gain leverage over me? I feel that this decision is retaliation. I don’t know how else to receive it. You then add more tasks to what I am currently responsible for and you say that I am being given these tasks because I get paid. You said, regarding the lyrics, I should be responsible for doing them because you could find no volunteer that would commit to doing them, they are volunteers, that I am paid, yet you have installed a division …show more content…
And that is how every decision has been made regarding me; to the advantage of those who have abused their power to exercise control over me. Elder Ware has not been absent in this effort. I know he informed you about the video that shows Xavier listening to secular music with curse words. I was disappointed that he would try to connect me to Xavier’s behavior to me, as if I condoned it. Why did Elder Ware go to Xavier to address the issue with him or even discuss it with me? It was done in a matter to harm
Bruce Barron is a well-known Christian author of many books on the Christian faith, as well as the author of the essay, “PUTTING WOMEN IN THEIR PLACE: 1 TIMOTHY 2 AND EVANGELICAL VIEWS OF WOMEN IN CHURCH LEADERSHIP”.

“After 250 years of enslavement in America, African Americans were still terrorized in Deep South; they were pinned to the ghettos, overcrowded, overcharged, discriminated, and undereducated”. The best solution is to owe them reparations. To aid them out of their unjust inherit status. The novel is based on real life situations of many African Americans that had to face during slave, and post slave era in the United States of America. The purpose is to show that not having reparations for the African Americans lead to many downsides to the nation’s inequalities. In the novel “The Case for Reparations” by Ta-Nehisi Coates, he uses just ethics and remorse obligation, to demonstrate the nation should to pay for the damage done to the black community.
Some mothers cannot be all that you want her to be, but she is a mother. Being the only daughter with four brothers of the family with a mean mother was a tough life. Teenage life was the hardest tough love having to hear her criticism tone of voice and what she has to say next from her cup full of emotions. She would not give any female support on problems when support was needed. Sometimes it is rare to see her happy, but mainly she gives out her stress, anxiety, and anger like whose fault would that be if it was not hers. Most of the back talking is not a way to solve an argument, not with her, but she will not give up. Living with the madness helps to become a strong person if believing is all that can be wished for. Experiencing as a teenager, mother would probably be the toughest meanest mother in the world, but she is mother who will love dearly. No matter how hard life can be with a mean mother she will continue to love endlessly despite of if she shows her emotional or psychological abuse actions, but she is a biological mother with a soft heart to love.
After seeing though the eyes of my pastor I’ve come to realize the importance of faith and committing to one’s beliefs. Returning to church after two massive losses has helped my mother in many ways and it has also taught me as a young man how small things that I could do would turn to have a big impact on someone’s life the same way my pastor impacted my life and the life of my siblings.
There are three types of Justice discussed in Book 1 of Plato’s Republic which are Retributive, Procedural, and Social Justice. Retributive justice is the type of justice that requires someone to pay back their debts if they took something. According to Cephalus, justice requires ‘repayment’ from those who have taken something. For example, The death penalty can be considered retributive justice because someone may have took a life and now their life will be taken from them in return. Procedural justice is doing good for someone that you are close with but doing harm to someone you do not get along with. Polemarchus believes that justice is doing good to good people and doing bad to bad people. For example, Giving your friend a ride to
I had applied for a job at Catholic Guardian society; in 2001 I did get the job. It was working with young girls in a group home, place there by the court. A group home is a place that children are sent to, once in foster care. A child can be in a group homes for many reasons; such as running away from home, not going to school and getting being arrested. I work every shift that was allowed, sometime doing doubles. When I started the job, I learn my way around fast. My partner was Michelle S.; she was great she began working there three years before me. Our primary job was to ensure the safety of these girls; their age would range from twelve through twenty-one. Our supervisor was great or so I thought. I soon realized that she was a horrible
He told me rather bluntly that he thought the priestly life might be too difficult for me and that I should give very serious thought to the question whether or not I should continue in the seminary. Later that day or perhaps it was the next day, I went to Father Marshall, who was the Assistant Vice Rector, for special
My home church is United Methodist. I have gone there ever since I was a child because that is where my mother went to church. Through researching this paper I found many interesting things about my church. There are many points and issues I agree with and many I disagree with. Writing this really made me think about my denomination closely and if it’s the right one for me.
This is a letter informing you that, effective immediately, I quit, I no longer work for you, in fact, you can keep the last paycheck, I no longer want it. I will no longer do your dirty biddings, no more lies, no more cheating, no more abusing myself and others, my soul belongs to God who gave it to me. You were the worse employer one could ever have, you gave me no long-term benefits, no retirement or health insurance, only a death assurance. You govern with deception, almost from conception, you bring fear, hatred, lust, jealousy, anger, insecurity, pain and strife, and most of all you bring death.
...ollowing in my sister's footsteps, I began learning from her experiences. We tread lightly around the subject of the religion these days. Thankfully, there are no wild debates at the dinner table on holidays. We respect one another's beliefs and agree to disagree about them. She often tells me, "You should come to my church!" when I call her seeking sisterly advice or needing a sympathetic ear. I have attended her church and admire how she's strengthened her parish and community. That's more inspirational to me than any Sunday sermon - as she is one who sincerely lives in the word, even when it's difficult for her.
Justice without truth seems like a half sentiment, perhaps in the world of politics truth can only be relative, since the whole of it will only reveal the degree to which inhumanity and senseless violence exist. Perhaps the real question is: why for the past century of modern politics have we accepted and designated to half-truths? Even though the ideal concept of truth and justice existing only together seems far-fetched, but in a world wrecked with turbulence and seeking revolution it is necessary to reclaim the ancient philosophical concepts of only determining justice based on the entire truth.
Your letter dated 20 October 2016 reached me and the content is well understood. Thank you dear for your letter and for all you shared with me. I was thrilled to read from you after a very long time. I recap the content of your letter to be certain I understood what you shared. You shared your concern and the decision you have arrived at about the sacrament of penance.
I have broken the Laws of the Catholic Church. I am heartily sorry for doing this horrific sin. I have sinned against my Lord and Creator. Our Lord has given me life, a wonderful beautiful family, the Sacraments, the Catholic Church and many other magnificent entities. And the way I give back to God is by stealing. And you, Mrs. Mullet and other faculty members, you have all given me the gift of a great Catholic education. You work hard every day given us this great opportunity to not only fill our minds with schooling but also teach us about our Faith and how we should always proclaim our Faith. My father works very hard every single day and I have wasted his hard working money. The same goes with my mother. I have committed this vial sin more than once. I know that I am not perfect, but I know that I will never steal another person’s writing for as long as I have air in my lungs. I know that the QHA faculty staff knows that I will commit this crime again. Thank you Mrs. Mullet and all QHA faculty members for this wonderful education. I will give each one a spiritual bouquet. I will say a rosary for each and every single one of
Part of the requirement of the job was living in the county of which I would be working. I lived less than 2 miles from the county line in which I was to live. The housing market at the time was absolutely horrible. Since I was less than 2 miles from the county line, I went to someone I knew that had more authority than the individual that was not so nice, and asked them if it would be an issue just to stay where I was for the time being until the housing market got better, since I was going to have to sell a house and buy another one. When the not so nice person found out I went over them, they had an internal investigation done on me and I was eventually demoted.
