A Letter from the Past Reguarding the Necessity of Church Authority
by Clarence Savage and Elvis Gregory
Editor's comment (Milburn Cockrell, editor of the Berea Baptist Banner, October 1999):
I printed in the April 10, 1976 issue of The Baptist Examiner a letter from a brother who expressed doubts about one church organizing another church. He asked readers of TBE to respond to him, if he were in error. Many did. The Pinehaven Baptist Church, Highway 69 South, Columbus, Miss., and Pastor Elvis Gregory were among those who responded. This response was written by Elder Clarence Savage who at that time was Adult Sunday School teacher of the church. It was typed by Bro. Gregory and sent to me. It is signed: "Pinehaven Baptist Church, Elvis Gregory, Pastor." Hence I assume the whole church at that time personally approved of this letter. It shows what the Pinehaven Baptist Church believed in 1976, and what most of the other churches believed about church organization in the South at that time.
I think of many who preached in the Bible conferences at Pinehaven during the 1970s and who had a least convinced Bro. Gregory that they believed the same about church organization; otherwise, he would not have allowed them to preach in his church. If He were alive today, I wonder what Bro. Elvis Gregory would say about what some of these same men's present stand is on the church. At least one man, whose name I could call had a mission and received some missionary support from the church about the time this letter was written, is now one of the ring leaders of the neo-Landmark movement. How the mighty have fallen!
In 1976 our Baptist people were more in unity on the church and fellowship was richer. No one can doubt what the Pinehaven Baptist Church and Pastor Elvis Gregory practiced as to church organization. The record speaks for itself as many know. The editor of this paper still believes and practices what Bro. Gregory contended for. I have obtained no "new light." A great many cannot say this.
I am printing the article just as it was written and typed except for changing some misspelled words which Pastor Gregory asked me to change. The article was never printed due to its length. At the time I did not think it was necessary as nearly all our people were agreed on how a church should be started. A kind Providence has preserved this letter until this day. I am printing it in its entirety for two reasons. First, to show how far some have apostatized from their original position. Second, to demonstrate to the younger generation how strong our people were on church organization in 1976.

Dear Brother S. . . .:
In reply to your letter to the editor of THE BAPTIST EXAMINER, dated April 10, 1976, the following Holy Scriptures from the Authorized King James Version of the Bible are presented for your consideration, regarding the perpetuation of church authority.
The Scriptural answer to your very important question: "What Scriptural necessity do we find that requires the perpetuation of church authority only by the direct transference of that authority from one church by consent of her membership to another?" is based primarily on Matt. 16:18, 19; 18:18; Jn. 20:23; Acts 8:5-25; 10:34- 48; 11:22-26; I Cor. 5:1-13; and Rev. 3:7-13 where "the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" is emphasized as in Eph. 4:1-7 and I Cor. 12:12-25. In the "one body," there should be no schism as in I Cor. 12:25 or Matt. 16:18 which is the ONE true church as in I Tim. 3:15 which "the true church" of Matt. 18:17; Acts 2:47 and at least 15 other places in the Book of Acts, three places in the Book of Romans and at least 50 other places in the New Testament from I Cor. 1:2 to Rev. 3:14, making a total of 70 times that "the church" appears in the Word of God where "the whole church" appears in three times (Acts 15:22; Rom. 16:23; I Cor. 14:23) where "every church" appears twice (Acts 14:23; I Cor. 4:17) where "no church" appears in Phil. 4:15, where "a glorious church" appears in Eph. 5:27 and "church of the firstborn" appears in Heb. 12:23, making a total of 113 times "church" and "churches" appear in the Bible. This is not taking into account the number of times that "body" and other references are made or used to refer to "the church" and "the churches" proving the tremendous importance attached to "the churches" of the New Testament. As a matter of fact, the entire New Testament is written primarily to churches as in Rev. 22:16; 2:7, 11, 17, 29; 3:6, 13, 22, so that to cause any kind of division, schism or disunity in the "one body" of Eph. 4:4 is contrary to all Scriptural commands instructions and admonitions making it mandatory for "the whole church" to be considered in all matters relating to authority because all authority and power is given to the Head of "the church" as in Matt. 28:18-20; Eph. 1:22, 23; 5:23 and Col. 1:18, so that for 2 or 3 members of "one body" to assume authority apart from consideration of the remainder of that particular body is tantamount to a schism or division of that particular body.
In this connection let us now consider the scriptural meaning of Matthew 18:19, 20. Matthew 18:19 refers primarily to the authorized scriptural procedure of two members of a particular church asking GOD THE FATHER through the remainder of that particular body in the form of a motion being seconded by the other, under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, for godly authority in a particular matter under that church's jurisdiction as in Acts 1:15-26. On any other basis scriptural church authority is being ignored and thereby passed and the command of I Cor. 14:40 flaunted, when two or three or any portion (minority or majority) of that particular body acting without a scripturally authorized meeting of any portion of "the whole church" as in Acts 15:22 where the word "whole" does not mean every member of that particular church or even a majority necessarily of that church, but only the scripturally authorized majority of those who are properly assembled in scripturally authorized church capacity as proven by Matt. 18:20, which states that "where two or three are gathered together in my name" which means any portion of a particular body properly assembled in true church capacity, because "in my name" means according to the instructions or commands of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as "the head" of "his body" which is the "whole church" as in Eph. 1:22, 23; 5:23 and Col. 1:18, according to the pattern set forth in Acts 1:15-26. It should be noted here that any "secret" assembly politically motivated is not a scripturally authorized meeting of a true church, but must be motivated by LOVE "endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" as in Eph. 4:1-3; and only to the glory of God "in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen." Eph. 3:21.
On the other hand, where two or more agree to gather together without the above godly authority a door is opened wide for all forms and kinds of heresy, "doctrines of men" as in Col. 2:22, 23, and "doctrines of devils" as in I Tim. 4:1; without any leadership of the Holy Spirit as in John 14:16, 17, 26 and 16:13-15; without the prayer and authority of "my church" of Matt. 16:18 as in Phil. 1:19, 20; Eph. 6:18 and II Cor. 1:11, and without any disciplinary authority vested primarily by the Holy Spirit only in true churches as in I Peter 4:17, which violates Matt. 16:19; 18:18; John 20:23; I Cor. 5:4, 5 and II Cor. 2:1-11, so that all you can have on that kind of assumed basis is a man-made association, board, convention, council and such like instead of an authorized scripturally organized true church without any authoritative disciplinary connection whatever with "my church" of Matt. 16:18. Hence, the only way to preserve purity in "the churches of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is to scripturally, meticulously and orderly guard, protect and honour the ordained church authority as in Matt. 16:19 and I Pet. 4:17 and correlated holy scriptures, because on any other basis two or three "which cause divisions and offenses contrary to sound doctrine" as in Rom. 16:17 could easily organize a heretical church under the token name of a sound church in opposition to Matt. 16:19; 18:18; John 20:23; Acts 8:5-25; 10:34-48; 13:1-4; 15:1-41; 19:1-7; I Tim. 6:5; II Tim. 3:1- 5; Titus 3:9-11; II Thess. 3:6, 14 and II John 9-11, making it impossible for true churches to effectively discipline, exclude and correct any "leaven," false doctrine, malice and wickedness that might arise in any true church and does arise from time to time in true churches as in Matt. 18:17; I Cor. 5:13 and Rev. 2:1 to 3:22; therefore, a disregard for and loss of this godly ordained disciplinary authority encourages apostasy, heresy, false doctrine, false teaching, false prophets, "grievous wolves," and all kinds of "leaven" and the like, so let us never be careless, loose, lax and unconcerned about godly ordained church authority, administered by the Holy Spirit, which is next to the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ as in Matt. 28:18-20; Luke 24:49; John 20:22; Acts 1:8; 2:1-47; 5:1-11; 8:5-25; 10:34-41; 19:1-7; I Cor. 11:3; Eph. 1:22, 23; 5:23; Col. 1:18; Rev. 19:7-9 and 21:9 to 22:5 and correlated holy scriptures. Just the same as the human body is next to the head of that body and just the same as the wife is next to the husband in authority in the human family, so that there exists only one kind of authority in the home, i.e. the same authority applies to all members or children of a particular family whether they are at "the swimming hole" or at the dinner table; just the same as the same authority applies to all phases of church operation whether it be baptism or propagating "the bread of life" by begetting new churches of like faith and order, making scriptural ordained church authority the greatest SUBJECTIVE AUTHORITY on earth today superseding all civil authority as in Rom. 13:1-14, where putting "on the Lord Jesus Christ" as in verse 14 is equivalent to being a faithful member of one of the true churches on earth today which is "my church" of Matt. 16:18 as proven by Rom . 14:1 where the only ordained "body" that can "receive" one who is weak in the faith is "the church" of Acts 2:47, so let us never be ignorant or confused regarding the godly order of church authority which is of infinite divine origin and of majestic eternal importance.
The perpetuation of scriptural church authority is accomplished here upon earth by the ADMINISTRATIVE SUBJECTIVE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT in the personal absence of our Head and the Head of the church, the Lord Jesus Christ, John 16:7. This is seen in Acts 8:5-25; 10:34- 48. As the authority to baptize is administered and perpetuated only by the work of the Holy Spirit without which work the Spirit of truth "cannot abide with" any other kind of assembly as in John 14:16, 17 and therefore any other kind of assembly without the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit cannot be "the pillar and ground of the truth" as in I Tim. 3:15 regardless of the name attached to that kind of assembly being in the same condition as all assemblies that never had a "candlestick" or after the candlestick is removed as in Rev. 2:5, which is equivalent to saying that the Holy Spirit does not "abide" in such an assembly since the word "candlestick" here means: "a portable lamp or other illuminator (lit. or fig.); a lamp stand (lit. or fig.); candle light; (light); white, (Strong's, G 3087, 88, 22), which can only mean in this case the Holy Spirit, so that without the abiding presence of the Spirit or "the Spirit of truth" in an assembly there can be no spiritual illumination or SUBJECTIVE light (wisdom) from above and that assembly cannot be clothed with "white raiment" as in Rev. 3:18 and 19:7, 8; therefore, let us never forget the infinite importance of scriptural church authority vested primarily in "the Holy Spirit" on earth today as He "abides" in "my church" of Matt. 16:18 proving again that without scriptural Holy Spirit authority no assembly can know the "spirit of trust" protecting and guarding itself against "leaven" as in Matt. 13:33; 16:6; Mark 8:15; Luke 12:1; 13:20; I Cor. 5:6-8 and Gal. 5:9; against the spirit of antichrist as in I John 2:22 and 4:1-4; heresies, schisms, divisions, false prophets, false doctrines, "goats," "wolves" and such like as in Gal. 5:19- 21; Acts 20:29-31; Matt. 25:31-46; I Cor. 5:6-8 and Gal. 5:9.
It should be noted here that it is no longer necessary or needful for "my Church" to "speak with tongues" as in Acts 2:4; 10:46 and 19:6 because we now have "the written standard" or "the holy scriptures" as in II Tim. 3:14-17 along with the "Revealer" who is "the Holy Spirit" as in I Cor. 2:9-16 to make known the seven primary unities of Eph. 4:1-7 as follows: 1) One body, as to kind; 2) one Spirit of truth, as administrator of the one body; 3) one hope of your calling; 4) one Lord, as the head of the one body; 5) one faith as the work of God, John 6:29; 6) one baptism as an outward picture or symbol of an inward divine work; and 70 one God and Father of all eternal work as in Eccl. 3:14 and I Cor. 12:6). The result is that man is but a recipient of His SOVEREIGN GRACE characterizing every true assembly of "my church" or "one body" where the one "Spirit of Truth" abides as Comforter as in John 14:16, 17—Teacher as in John 14:26—Witness as in John 15:26, 27—and Administrator (reprover and guide) as in John 16:1-16 so that so called modernistic pentecostal charismatics of our day are denying our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by denying every primary basic doctrine of the holy scriptures including the seven primary phases of "eternal salvation" as follows: 1) Election; 2) Conception; 3) Predestination; 4) Regeneration; 5) Justification; 6) Sanctification; and 7) Glorification; involving three primary phases of SOVEREIGN GRACE as follows: 1) Common grace; 2) Objective grace; 3) Subjective grace, for without a clear scriptural understanding of these primary, basic, fundamental and foundational phases of "sound doctrine" as in I Tim. 1:10; II Tim. 4:3; Titus 1:9 and 2:1, it is absolutely impossible to be "sound in the faith" as in Titus 1:13-16 and 2:2: "earnestly contending for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" as in Jude 3; and "putting on the whole armour of God" and in Eph. 6:10-18, so that without scriptural church authority vested primarily in the Holy Spirit on earth today perpetuated directly from "one body" to another "one body" and with only assumed authority by a group of individuals regardless of size and intentions separated from "one body" and "one Spirit" which are indivisible and undivided in spiritual and scriptural authority, no such group can perpetuate scriptural church authority any more than a child can be born without the unity and union of sperm and ovum. Just the same as there must be a union of the Holy Spirit and a group of baptized believers typifying a virgin before a new "body" of "my church" can be begotten of like faith and order as in Acts 8:5-25; 10:34-48 and 11:22-26; just the same as there had to be a union between the Holy Ghost and the virgin Mary before the beloved Son of God could become Jesus, the Son of Man, as in Matt. 1:18-25 which means that the Holy Spirit must be united with every virgin group of baptized believers before they can become a true church of our Lord, meaning that the Holy Spirit only does His divine work of propagating true churches and church authority among faithful virgins, i.e., from "one body" of "my church" to a group of virgin baptized believers in perpetuating church authority and church succession according to the scriptural pattern of procedure recorded in Acts 8:5-25; 10:34- 48 and 11:22-26 which procedure is consistent with all other scriptures including all the missionary works of Paul, none of which was performed except by direct perpetuated church authority always direct from the church of which he was a member to many different groups of baptized believers being led by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we see scriptural church authority perpetuated in the organizing of new churches as well as the ordaining "elders in every church" as in Acts 14:23; reporting back to his home church at the end of his missionary journey as in Acts 14:26- 28, so that there is no scriptural support anywhere for the assumed, unscriptural procedure presented in next to the last paragraph of your letter appearing in the April 10, 1976 issue of THE BAPTIST EXAMINER.
Much more could be written along this particular view but ample scriptural proof has been presented to fully establish perpetual church authority "to be direct from an established scriptural church to another group of baptized believers as members of that "one body" by means of ordained ambassadors, messengers, evangelists, preachers and/or missionaries under the direction, administration, power and authority of the Holy Spirit as recorded in Acts 13:1-5 as a scriptural standard of procedure conclusively proving with supporting scriptures with no established alterations, or alternatives that the church which was at Antioch under the administrative authority of the Holy Spirit ordained two missionaries and "sent them away" to preach "the word of God" under direct Holy Ghost and church authority resulting in establishing many scriptural churches, so let us never add to or take from this scripturally established standard procedure of perpetuating Holy Spirit and church authority as repeated in Acts 15:40, 41 with similar abundantly successful results; whereas, on the other hand, Barnabas and Mark altered this established scriptural procedure without Holy Spirit and church authority resulting in a blank record of accomplishments which conclusively proves the infinite importance of Holy Spirit and direct church authority.
Another irrefutable proof of the absolute necessity of "link chain" connection of direct church authority is Acts 8:1-25 where Philip the evangelist was ordained and scripturally authorized by the original church (which our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ personally established here upon this earth which was baptized with the Holy Ghost at Jerusalem as in Acts 1:8 and 2:1-13) to preach Christ unto the people of "the city of Samaria" as in Acts 8:5, then baptize them that "believed" not before but after "they believed" as in verse 12, then "my church" of Matt. 16:18 at Jerusalem scripturally authorized "Peter and John" as in Acts 8:14 to scripturally organize baptized believers (who were at that time all members of the church at Jerusalem being baptized under the direct authority of that church) into a daughter church of like faith and order as in verses 15-17 and John 14:16, 17 as proven by the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit as seen in the same passages, after which that newly scripturally organized church was authorized to administer discipline to one of her members, Simon as in verses 18-24; I Peter 4:17; and Matt. 16:19, emphasizing the eternal and tremendous importance of the perpetuation of church authority only by the direct transference of that authority from one church by divine approval of her membership, being led by the Holy Spirit, to another group of baptized believers, in this case the perpetuation of Holy Spirit and church authority at Jerusalem by the direct transference of that authority by vote of approval of her membership through "the apostles" to organize a group of believers into another church of like faith and order which is the holy way to preserve the purity of "my church" of Matt. 16:18 because "like begets like" as in Gen. 1:11, 12, 21-25, without which purity is lost along with the removal of the Holy Spirit just the same as church authority is lost when divine begetting is eliminated; for examples when plants are crossed, when animals are crossed and when races of people are crossed, the original characteristics are lost just the same as the original characteristics of the church of like faith and order of our Lord loses her characteristics of purity in like faith and order (including the seven unities of primary characteristics as recorded in Eph. 4:4- 6) when crossed or mixed with impurity, iniquity, falsehood, false doctrine, malice, wickedness, etc., resulting in removal of "the candlestick" and Holy Spirit "out of his place, except those repent" as in Rev. 2:5 after which removal she is an unscriptural and a false church even though her name remains the same as in Rev. 3:1 and from henceforth is unable to beget a true church regardless of the name or outward identification; by the same principles true church authority is lost in the absence of the Holy Spirit by unscriptural crossing, division, disunity, schism and failing to purge out "the old leaven" as well as inscriptural organizational procedures, the main one of which is assumed false authority and unscriptural participation instead of perfect scriptural authority coming directly from the "whole" true church.
A prime example of assumed false and unscriptural church authority is recorded for our edification in Acts 15:36-41 where "Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus" without "being recommended by the grace of God" as in verse 40 which is equivalent to saying that Barnabas and Mark left Antioch without Holy Spirit and church authority as Paul and Silas did in verse 40 and as Barnabas and Saul did in Acts 13:1- 40 and 14:26, 27 even though Barnabas must have been a member of the church at Antioch as in Acts 11:25-30; 12:25; 13:1-5; 14:26-28 and 15:2-4 and Mark must have been a member of the church at Jerusalem as in Acts 12:25 and 13:13, they left Antioch without Holy Spirit and scriptural church authority resulting in no scriptural record of favorable results; whereas, Paul and Silas left Antioch together "being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God" which is Holy Spirit and scriptural church authority resulting in a voluminous record of favorable results even most of the remainder of the New Testament, including the remaining 13 chapters of the book of Acts, the book of Romans, and on through the book of Hebrews at least, which unmistakably and impressively proves the tremendous importance of church authority. It should be noted here that John Mark accompanied Barnabas and without Holy Spirit and church authority from Antioch to Perga in Pamphylia as in Acts 13:13 and 15:37-39 with disastrous results in both cases; now with this kind of record in the holy scriptures and in our minds let us henceforth never minimize the infinitely tremendous importance of Holy Spirit and church authority remembering that Paul was never guilty of being or operating outside of it from his baptism as in Acts 9:18 around A.D. 35 until his Continued from page 195 A Letter from the Past death around A. D. 66 approximately 31 years later even though he was subjected to untold sacrifice, suffering, and persecution as a result thereof even unto death. On the other hand Judas Iscariot was continually operating outside of church authority politically dealing with the Sanhedrin resulting in the taking of his own life as in Matt. 27:3-5; Oh, what an impressive contrast in the lives of these two men for our eternal edification and contemplation to the praise and glory of God for ever and for ever. In connection with scriptural church authority we should note here the difference between Judas Iscariot and Peter; Peter was not guilty of operating outside of ordained church authority as was Judas even though Peter was guilty of denial within the bounds of church authority with contrasting results of conversion while Judas operating outside of the bounds of ordained church authority resulted in suicide—what a difference between ordained church authority and the violation thereof here presented in the holy scriptures for our edification—the difference between true conversion with Peter as in Matt. 26:69-75 and "a sin unto death" with Judas Iscariot as in I John 5:16 and Matt. 27:3-5, so let us steadfastly, diligently and faithfully guard scriptural church authority.
Since you agree that it is of prime importance in perpetuating the church by continuity of the lineage of scriptural baptism, how can you consistently separate the authority for baptism from scriptural church authority for begetting other churches of like faith and order which authority has the same source and cause in the Lord Jesus Christ and the same resultant means of preaching the gospel of Christ, even "my church" of Matt. 16:18? Let us now look at three scriptural examples of direct scriptural authority in true church organization as follows: 1) at "the city of Samaria" as in Acts 8:5-25; 2) "in Caesarea" as in Acts 10:34-48; and 3) "at Antioch" as in Acts 11:22-26; in all three cases the authority for organization came directly from "the first Church at Jerusalem" (which was organized by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ while He was "manifested in the flesh" as in I Tim. 3:16, before "he was taken up into heaven" as in Acts 1:9-11) so that in the first case at "Samaria" the church was organized by Peter and John directly from Jerusalem in the above mentioned passage; in the second case in "Caesarea" by Peter, directly from Jerusalem as seen in the above mentioned passage; and in the third case at "Antioch" by Barnabas, directly from Jerusalem as above passage reveals. It should be noted here that the direct scriptural authority to baptized and the direct authority to organize is identical and inseparable as in Acts 10:44-48 under Holy Ghost and direct scriptural church authority coming directly from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit through daughters of "my church" down to the present time making this "link-chain" connection of direct divine import of direct infinite importance not to be lightly esteemed and carelessly ignored. Therefore, we must conclude that the divine scriptural authority to baptize believers and the authority to organize churches in order to perpetuate the true church is direct, identical and inseparable.
In Acts 19:1-7, we have conclusive scriptural proof that the authority to baptize is the same identical authority to organize in that the Holy Spirit stamped divine approval on Paul's baptism "in the name of the Lord Jesus" as in verses 5 and 6 which means under the authority of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, just the same as the Holy Spirit stamped divine approval on Peter and John's organization of the New Church at the city of Samaria with direct scriptural authority from "my church" at Jerusalem as in Acts 8:14-17 where also they being in both of these cases under the direct divine scriptural authority of the Holy Ghost. After all the persons involved had been baptized "in the name of the Lord Jesus" where Paul likewise had direct scriptural authority from "my church" at Antioch as in Acts 13:1-5 and 15:40, so that in the "open face" as in II Cor. 3:18 of those holy scriptures there is no way to truly deny that "the Holy Ghost" and direct authority from a church of our Lord is identical and inseparable in both scriptural baptism and scriptural church organization being administered primarily on earth by the Holy Spirit and secondarily by "my church" of Matt. 16:18 in both cases; hence, let us never misunderstand the tremendous importance of the UNITY of the Spirit in direct church authority as in Eph. 4:4, 5 looking "unto him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us" as in Eph. 3:20 where the word "power" refers primarily to "the Holy Ghost" who is the "one Spirit" of Eph. 4:4, who is now on earth working primarily in "my church" which is the "one body" of Eph. 4:4 where this "one body" appears along with the "one Spirit." Here we can see the emphasis of the UNITY and ONENESS of the primary divine administrative work (in the personal absence of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ) of "the Holy Ghost" along with the secondary direct ordained work of the scriptural perpetuation and perpetuity of "my church" and proving without controversy and without contradiction that divine ordained scriptural authority for baptism and church organization is identically ONE and the same coming directly from GOD THE FATHER through GOD THE SON by GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT manifested here upon earth ONLY in "the church" of I Tim. 3:15, just the same as "eternal salvation" is direct from GOD THE FATHER in ELECTION as in Eph. 1:4 and I Peter 1:2 through GOD THE SON in JUSTIFICATION as in Rom. 5:1, 2 and 6:23 by GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT in SANCTIFICATION as in Rom. 5:3-5; 15:16; II Thes. 2:13-17 and I Peter 1:2, 22 manifested here upon earth primarily in "the church" of I Tim. 3:15 and just the same as in I Pet. 1:2 where ELECTION is primarily the work of GOD THE FATHER, JUSTIFICATION primarily the work of GOD THE SON through the shedding of His blood on the cross of Calvary and SANCTIFICATION is primarily the work of GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT manifested here upon earth primarily in the resultant work and means of preaching "the gospel of Christ" to "every creature" in obedience to the command of the great commission making this DIVINE HOLY TRINITY (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), Three in One and One in Three—Oh, gracious God! what a glorious gospel that human eyes cannot see, that human ears cannot hear and that human hearts cannot receive as in I Cor. 2:9-16 and Isa. 64:4. It should be noted here that Acts 19:6 is the third and last scriptural record of speaking with tongues (the other two being Acts 2:4 and 10:46) proving that this kind of divine approval is not now necessary or needful since we have the Holy Scriptures "for doctrine for reproof, for correction for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works" as in II Tim. 3:14-17; so that "man of God" will faithfully obey the holy scriptures by "rightly dividing the word of truth" after faithful study instead of wrongly dividing the Word of truth by hypocritically trying to practice modern charisma of so-called speaking in tongues as evidence of baptism "with the Holy Ghost" as in Acts 1:5 which is blasphemy and an abomination in the eyes of God just the same as trying to go back to Old Testament sacrifice of animals for "eternal salvation" after our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ "finished" the ONE effective sacrifice of shedding His infinite blood as in John 19:30 having thereby "obtained eternal redemption for us" as in Heb. 9:12; therefore, may we never be guilty of wrongly "dividing the word of truth" in ignorance, unfaithfulness, unbelief, rebellion and disobedience thereby denying as in II Tim. 2:11-13 the only Saviour "under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" as in Acts 4:12; "preaching another Jesus," receiving "another spirit" and receiving "another gospel" as in II Cor. 11:4 and Gal. 1:6-9 observing that "tongues are for a sign to them that believe, but to them that believe not" as in I Cor. 14:22, who are guilty of using their tongues to deceive as in Rom. 3:13 "whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders" as in II Thess. 2:9 culminating in deceiving "them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles" of "another beast" as in Rev. 13:11-14. Just the same as the modern hypocritical charismatics are attempting to do on earth today in contrast to the "man of God" who by faith is not looking "at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal" as in II Cor. 4:17, 18, and who by faith is "looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ" as in Titus 2:13-15; "even come, Lord Jesus" as in Rev. 22:16-21, Oh, gracious God! what a Saviour! Amen!
We have already conclusively proven from the holy scriptures that it is absolutely essential for a group of baptized believers to obtain direct scriptural church authority directly from another true church already in existence as in Acts 8:5-25; 10:34-48 and 11:22-26 in order to become a true church because "like begets like" as in Gen. 1:11, 12, 21-25 before that group can possibly become a true church or "one body" (as to kind) of the Lord Jesus Christ of like faith and order.
It should be noted here that baptism is only one of the seven unities that characterize and identify a true church or "one body" as to kind on earth today as in Eph. 4:4-6 who are faithfully walking "worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the good of peace" as in Eph. 4:1-3; "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints" as in Eph. 6:1-18 while endeavoring to carry out the Great Commission as in Matt. 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 24:47-53; John 20:21- 23; Acts 1:8 and correlated holy scriptures with the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit as Comforter, Teacher, Guide and Administrator as in John 14:15 to 16:15 and correlated holy scriptures, remembering that the Great Commission involves preaching the gospel of Christ as in Rom. 1:14-17 which is characterized by seven phases of eternal salvation as in Heb. 5:9 as follows:
I. ELECTION by God the Father, Eph. 1:1-4; I Pet. 1:2;
II. CONCEPTION by God the Son, Rom. 5:19-21; I Cor. 15:22;
III. PREDESTINATION by God the Holy Spirit, Rom. 8:29, 30; Eph. 1:5-14;
IV. REGENERATION or CALLING by God the Holy Spirit, John 1:12, 13; 3:3-5; 6:63; Acts 15:13-18; Titus 3:5; James 1:18; I Peter 1:23; I John 3:1-10; and 5:18;
V. JUSTIFICATION by Faith, Rom. 5:1, 2; 8:30; Titus 3:7;
VI. SANCTIFICATION by God the Holy Spirit, Rom. 5:3-5; 15:13-19; I Thess. 1:1-10; II Thess. 2:13-17; II Pet. 1:1-8; I John 1:1-10; and
VII. GLORIFICATION by God the Son, Phil. 3:20, 21; I Thess. 4:13- 18.
It should be noted here that most of the so-called preaching of today involves less than 10% of he whole gospel as outlined in the seven phases of "eternal salvation" above.
It has already been pointed out that Matt. 18:20 refers to a true church scripturally assembled even though all of the members of that particular body are not present at that particular time providing that those present are scripturally assembled for the proper purpose motivated by the LOVE OF GOD and verified originally on a "one time" basis by a true church of like faith and order as in Acts 8:5-25; 10:34-48; 11:22-26 as already explained dating back to "my church" of Matt. 16:18 after which this true "one time" scriptural authority is properly transmitted and received no repetition of such transmittal of authority is necessary or needful making that particular church qualified to transmit scriptural church authority to other groups of scripturally baptized believers thereby begetting new churches of like faith and order or "after her kind" as in Gen. 1:11, 12, 21-25.
We note here that after the "candlestick" has been removed or the Holy Spirit has departed (Rev. 2:5) or a true church falls away into a false church "it is impossible" to renew that false church "unto repentance" or to reorganize that kind of assembly into a true church as in Heb. 6:4-6; in other words, when the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit one leaves an assembly or church that particular assembly or church can never be organized into a true church or ever become a church of the Lord Jesus Christ just the same as the Catholic Church never repents but becomes more corrupt with time.
Your concept of a group of two or three "properly baptized members" of a local church or churches, "somewhere who desire, for reasons they determine to be logical and practical, to unite in fellowship as an 'authoritative church'" would first have to become members of the same local true assembly for edification, jurisdictional and disciplinary purposes as in Matt. 16:19 and 18:15-20 after which Holy Spirit and direct scriptural church authority could be scripturally transmitted from the one true assembly of which they are all members at that particular time to the particular group after forming a mission for the purpose of organizing a new scripturally true church of the same faith and order. Otherwise "conventionism" is involved where the autonomy of the local church or assembly is destroyed which is completely unscriptural and therefore without godly authority re-sulting in false churches as in Rev. 17:1-18.
Your summation in next to the last paragraph of your letter is what principally happened in the original formation of the MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH," as in Rev. 17:5 and all of her harlot daughters including the Catholics, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Congregationalists, Campbellites, Hardshell Baptists, Freewill Baptists, Convention Baptists, Association Baptists, Board Baptists and all other false systems in Christianity, including Judism, Hinduism, Buddism, Mohammedism, Babylonism, etc., etc., etc. typified by Cain from Gen. 4:1 to Rev. 18:24 because "leaven" begins as a logical subtle improvement over the godly order of command as in Gen. 3:1-7 and 4:1-16 spreading to include all forms of idolatry, unbelief, iniquity and fornication culminating in total rebellion, blasphemy, disobedience and wickedness; so let us never be deceived into thinking that the true authority to baptize is different to true church authority to organize, because all true authority has the same godly and divine source as in Matt. 19:17 resulting in the same true ordained means as in Matt. 16:18, 19 and 28:18- 20 of preaching the true "gospel of Christ" to every creature as in Mark 16:15; hence, may we be faithfully steadfast in resisting false authority and false doctrines of the devil as in I Peter 5:1-11, "rightly dividing the word of truth" as in II Tim. 2:15; "thoroughly furnished unto all good works" as in II Tim. 3:14-17; learning how to "behave ourselves in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and the ground of the truth" as in I Tim. 3:15.
The Pinehaven Baptist Church believes that: 1) "My church" of Matt. 16:18 is "one body" as to kind (see Eph. 4:4 to 6:24); 2) "my church" is Theocratic as to authority and government (See I Cor. 11:3; Eph. 1:22 23; 3) "my church" is autonomous as to assemblies, other organizations and all other influences (see Matt. 16:19; 18:15-20; 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 24:47-53; John 14:16, 17; 19:11; 20:21-23; Acts 1:8-26; 5:1- 16; 6:1-15; 8:5-25; 9:17-31; 10:34-43; 11:22-30; 13:1 to 22:21; and I Pet. 4:17). This position establishes the "one" procedure for procreative succession of the same kind of church from Matt. 16:18 to the rapture of this "one body" by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ directly from body to body, just the same as "like begets like" as in Gen. 1:11, 12, 21-25 where procreation preserves the same kind of plants, animals, etc. from generation to generation or from parents to offspring; this position guarantees autonomous governmental authority from one source of righteousness as in Matt. 19:17; 28:18-20 and Eph. 5:23 administered by no one on earth except "the Spirit of truth" as in John 14:16, 17 making this "one body" set apart from "the world" which "lieth in wickedness" which autonomous governmental authority can be transmitted from "one body" or church to another church directly only by the Holy Spirit as in Acts 8:5-25, etc. which means that this authority is not invested in individuals but only vested in true scripturally authorized churches where "the Spirit of truth" abides which is only in "my church" which is the "one body" which is "the pillar and ground of the truth" where the "one Spirit" abides along with the seven unities of Eph. 4:4-6 which characterize "my church," so that the only possible way for true church authority to be vested in an assembly is for "the Spirit of truth" to transmit this divine authority directly from one church to another church of like faith and order, showing that all other procedures are false and "Vanity of vanities" Eccl. 1:2, 14, including the one you proposed in your letter which imagines and assumes that "perpetuated church authority is contingent upon the mutual agreement of born again properly baptized individuals, to gather together as a local assembly, to carry out the commission delivered to the church through the Apostles" instead of divine authority coming only direct from GOD THE FATHER through GOD THE SON, by GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT manifested in "my church" directly from mother branch to daughter beginning of another branch. On your basis a group like Simon of Acts 8:9-24 would be permitted by "mutual agreement" in direct violation of ordained scriptural procedure to gather together "by mutual agreement" without receiving "the Holy Spirit" as in verse 17 which was the transfer of divine authority directly from the church at Jerusalem directly to the group of believers who were baptized at the city of Samaria resulting in another body of like faith and order at "the city of Samaria"; also on your assumed false basis quoted above a group of "grievous wolves" as in Acts 20:29, 30 would be permitted to organized a false church under the guise of a true one without the transfer of divine authority by the Holy Spirit directly from an already established true church, resulting in a false assembly with the abiding presence of "the spirit of error" as in I John 4:3 and 2:22, 23; on this false and unscriptural basis numerous false churches, radio broadcasts, T V telecasts, so called gospel teams and various missionary endeavors have been organized including THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS of Rev. 17:1-18, her many harlot daughters of protestantism and all of her other myriads of harlot daughters.
Now we can more clearly understand the infinite importance of ordained scriptural church authority being administered only by "the Spirit of Truth" which abides only in "my church" which is the "one body" which is the "church of the living God." Even though the Spirit of John 3:6 indwells every born of the Spirit believer as in John 3:1-21, but this "Spirit of truth" only abides in "my church" as Administrator, Teacher, Witness, Testifier, Reprover, Guide, and Comforter: as in John 14:16 to 16:15 making us realize that godly ordained church authority is the greatest authority on earth today next to the Holy Spirit as in Rev. 22:17 where "the Spirit" appears first and "the bride" appears next to "the Spirit" which means that "the church" is next to the Holy Spirit in ordained scriptural authority in accomplishing The Great Commission of Matt. 28:18-20 expressed here as "the Spirit and the bride say, Come."
Our summation then from the above listed holy scriptures in perfect harmony with all other scriptures in the King James Bible is that perpetuated true church authority is contingent upon every newly organized church receiving the Holy Spirit and scriptural authority directly from an autonomous branch of "my church" dating back to Matt. 16:18, 19 conforming to New Testament patterns set forth in the holy scriptures cited above.
May the Holy Spirit reveal to you "the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" as in I Cor. 2:9-16; "For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what He hath prepared for him that waiteth for him" as in Isaiah 64:4: "Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end, Amen" (Eph. 3:21).
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Nyitott Kör Egyesület / Open Circle Association
Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta
Giolli - social theatre
Combining Artistic expression with ICT training? For Roma Youth living in a poor and segregated settlement of Hungary? Yes! Participatory Theatre, Dance and Photography together with Web 2.0 design, graphics? Yes!! The Rom-Art project will empower a youth marginalized community using Arts + ICT and creating a local Artistic Youth Centre that will self-sustain: it will be eventually managed by them. Creation, motivation, employability, visibility: a life changing possibility for those young Roma!
Monor, Hungary - Roma settlement
Roma communities in Hungary face major problems in terms of social inclusion, education and empowerment. Only 30% young Roma completes secondary school, drop-out rate is significant. This leads to demotivation, lack of employability skills, poverty, discrimination and segregation. In Monor a segregated Roma settlement of approx 300 people (average age 32) lives in critical conditions. The Maltese charity supported with housing and children programs: there is an urgent need for youth empowerment.
We will work with young Roma of the Monor marginalized settlement. We aim at their empowerment, active participation, self-organization, job placement. A year from now they will have built motivation, confidence, capacity to self-express, to create, to raise their voices in society. With concrete ICT skills to access the job market, they will have created and managed an Artistic Youth Centre in Monor. General population will perceive them as performers, artists: self-organized and independent.
We will combine various methodologies and approaches.ICT skills training (web design, programming, office, productivity tools) will integrate with a personal and community empowerment process, using participatory Arts (Drama Pedagogy, Forum Theatre, PhotoVoice, Dance/Stage Plastics, Voice/Music).
1)July 2016:Summer Camp with young people: 2 weeks full-time in the settlement. Various activities, Arts+ICT, community outreach
2)Sept-Dec: 14 weekly workshops: ICT, Theatre, Dance, Photography, Voice
3)Dec 2016:public Performances in local area
4)Jan-Mar 2017: 8 weekly workshops: ICT, Theatre, Dance, Photography, Voice, partially facilitated BY THEM. Self-organized stable groups: Artistic Youth Centre.
5)Mar 2017: public events in Budapest: PhotoVoice exhibition, Performances, Forum Theatre
We target directly a group of 25 young people (13-26 years) living in the segregated Roma settlement of Monor. We will focus in particular on Roma girls and young women, especially vulnerable and socially excluded. We will work in close cooperation with the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service, with some local public schools in Monor and some artistic facilities in Budapest for performances, expositions and events for awareness raising to the general population.
- Not only technical skills, not only self-empowerment. The combination of the two, employability ICT skills together with various artistic self-expression tools.
- This unconventional mix goes beyond Interdisciplinarity!
- Creating bridges: between excluded minority and included majority. And also bridges between rational/technical and artistic/expressivity. Like two feet, both needed to walk.
- Self-Sustainable! At the end of the project the young people are leading their Artistic Youth Centre
Funding requested from Advocate Europe
Total budget
1-Personnel (Trainers and project managers): 10100 EUR; 2-Theatre+Training room renting: 3400 EUR; 3-Training Equipment: 2000 EUR; 4-Travels: 1300 EUR; 5-Accommodation and subsistance: 1200 EUR; 6-Materials+consumables: 1000 EUR; 7-Admin, overhead and unforseen: 1000 EUR

On now, Vancouver TheatreSports League presents Back to School TheatreSports, the new feature show for September. This series lampoons classroom cliches and creates teams from the cliques you loved and hated. For this show, we had the jocks (Bill Pozzobon, Chris Casillan, Ellen Kennedy) and nerds (Rae Lynn Carson, Ashlee Ferral, and Scott Patey) with a Band Teacher (John Voth) leading our way through.
With a full Tuesday audience, this show kicked off with a bang. The two teams kept character throughout the night in hilarious bits filled with awkward moments and bro mentality. The show is a competition between the two teams to see which can get the most points from three audience judges throughout the night. But don't worry, the scoring really doesn't matter.
Audience suggestions were used to great effect, especially in a hilarious guessing game and translation skit. This is usually a great show for all audiences, although sometimes the improvisers can push it a little far. In one scene, the jocks were heading to Amsterdam and ended up in the Red Light District and at Anne Franks house—not something you probably ever want to see in improv, as it's a little dark and depressing. They managed to side-step the blunder pretty quickly and keep things appropriate, but it created a noticeable audience reaction.
As always, I can't get enough of VTSL shows. It's almost a guaranteed fun night,

What You Need To Know About Making Website The…
There are several things you require into consideration once you are into the web development industry. You can, first of all, have to know web design code, for which you must do some type of course. In this article, however , all of us will cover the fundamentals of what you ought to remember when you look into planning your earliest web site. Firstly, you will need the graphics, you will then need the structure and then you need to think of the fonts you are going to use.
Graphics When it comes to the web style graphics baghtalar-mehrdad.com available for you website, this always will help if you think little. We are certainly not talking about small web design graphics, we are referring to small sized images or perhaps videos. Everybody hates webpages that place too little by little, so you have to use your potential client in mind at all times. The very best sizes for images will be around 20 kb to about doze kb. Please remember that you want attractive images, or images that go with all others of your articles. So if you present an article regarding boxing you should use an photograph that fits in that category, like a boxing bag, or maybe boxing mitts. As for the web design show images, which will look great in some websites, there has been a study that implies that they are extremely annoying to several people. It can be advised never to use these kinds of, and if you really have to keep these to a minimum. These kinds of too have long to load and therefore will certainly force people to not want to launch your webpage a second time.
Design When it comes to layouts you will want to stay with easy layouts, you should understand that the more complicated layouts likewise, like the greater images, slow up the loading process for your consumers. So you will probably be better off staying with standard regular layouts. There are several web design styles that will simply just annoy subscribers and will make them not want to become on your web-site. Like the one web page that I discovered that you had to scroll side by side, which means that you do not slide down. This makes it very difficult, since some rodents do not allow you to scroll sideways with the bring, so you will need to use the slide bar, and necessarily many people like employing those. And i also also found a website which includes 8 several boxes using one page, which mean that you must activate every single box if you wish to select something within that box, which is incredibly annoying. The easy layouts operate, you will be better off employing readymade styles that you could invest in, these are designed using the simple structure and in addition they look good, you are also able to discover very attractive hi-tech pre built site that you could choose from.
Web site When it comes to fonts for website creation you do not really want to use excessive on one webpage. When you look at a paper you do not find out too many baptistère on a web page, the same costs colors to get web design, the editor will use the same typeface for all days news and the same font for other text message, and with color, you will have to use the same color throughout your page, you may change the font and color on various other pages, but doing it in another way on the same page will be very distracting.

These thermal blinds attach to the insides of the windows and front windscreen to help insulate your camper van during the night. We offer a full range of thermal window screens for the VW T5 and T6 models. Silver window screens have taken over as the more popular window covering option for campervans.
• Includes suckers to stick the blinds onto the windows
• Screens are made of 7 layers of material
• Easily packed out of sight or even left at home when not needed
• They give an almost total black out
• They keep the heat out in the summer, and the heat in during the winter
Mainland UK postage for all screens postage is capped at £5. For all UK postage outside of the mainland or in the Scottish highlands please ask us for a quote as it will need individually costing (and can often be 3 or 4 times the standard cost). We regret that we do not post outside of the UK.
Please see our Customer Service tab at the top of the page for more information.
This product can be delicate. When preparing this product for use, please support the eyelet whilst inserting the suckers (this works best using a screwing motion).
To fasten screens, push the suckers onto the glass. If the suckers are not sticking well you may need to clean the glass (clean glass can sometimes have a film of dirt that will need to be cleaned for best results). Moistening the sucker can also help. The suckers can sometimes become misshapen which will cause the suckers not to stick. This can easily be rectified by putting the sucker cup in some warm water before sticking it the glass to help regain its shape.
To remove the screens, pull on the suckers one by one, never removing them by pulling the material. If the windows have a darkened tinting film on them then the suction may lift this film so extra care needs to be taken. The suckers can easy be removed by lifting the edge of the material and removing the sucker by gently touching the edge of the sucker cup to break the seal.

Just before 8 a.m., the gunman, who was armed with at least a semiautomatic rifle and two handguns, first shot a woman near his home with whom he had a continuing dispute. But the remaining victims were shot at random, the authorities said, as he fired at people walking on the streets, driving in their cars and sitting in their homes.
"This individual shooter was bent on engaging and killing people at random," Mr. Johnston said.

A prefabricated home has so many fantastic advantages for new home owners to consider. From affordability and eco-friendliness, to the fact that these houses are a lot easier to build and maintain than conventional homes.

The interior has a luxurious aesthetic, accentuated by the grey leather sofas and all-white décor. The room is uncluttered with the TV mounted against the wall, while the vases add an interesting decorative effect too.
The bedroom is a creative and fascinating choice for this prefab home.

Day 32 / 105 - Woodwork Merit Badge
Our son is slowly adjusting to his new Boy Scout troop here in Charlotte. His busy Cross Country schedule this fall has prevented him from attending some events. Now that the season is winding down, he is able to involve himself more regularly.
For two Saturdays he attended a Woodwork Merit Badge camp. It did requite a little bit of effort and work on his part. I expected him to come home with a bird house. Surprisingly, his final project was the pen pictured above. The photo doesn't even do it justice. It's beautiful, and he's incredibly proud of it. Plus, he's been motivated to complete his school work with it, so that's just an added bonus!

Skin Acne: Treating The Most Common Skin Condition
As we enter puberty our bodies undergo a number of changes especially regarding our skin. Acne occurs as a result of overactive oil glands in hair follicles that cause blockages. There bacteria can multiply forcing your body to fight back with the end result being a zit or pimple. Skin acne on its own is generally not a health risk, and most people require little or no treatment for their acne apart from good hygiene. Acne usually lessens substantially as we mature into our 20's, though occasional outbreaks remain possible for the rest of your life. For many unfortunate individuals skin acne is much more serious than a minor annoyance. It can cause serious social embarrassment which, over time, can cause low self esteem which is linked to a great many numbers of emotional and mental disorders. For this reason, and to generally protect their physical appearance, an ever larger number of people, both men and women, have turned towards cosmetic treatments to help address their skin acne. The appropriate treatment for your skin acne will depend on the nature and severity of your skin acne. for this reason you should make an effort to educate yourself about the different types of skin acne that exist, and about the different treatments that are currently available for them. Once you have done this you should make every effort to find the best qualified and most experienced doctor in your area to help you address your skin acne. You should not make your selection of doctors based solely on the cost of the service they are offering. The best doctors may charge more, though this is not always the case. Once you have found a reputable doctor to help you with your skin acne, you should schedule an appointment for a consultation where the doctor will work with you to help you better understand the nature of your skin acne, as well as the options you have available for treating it. Once you have a full understanding of these options the doctor will help you select the most appropriate option for your condition.
The treatment for your skin acne may range from the application of simple topical cremes to taking some form of medication orally. In the most severe cases, or in instances where you are interested in dealing with scars resulting from skin acne more intensive treatments may be deemed appropriate. Treatments for scars resulting from skin acne usually include chemical peels or laser treatments. Laser treatments have become increasingly popular in recent years as the technology has improved greatly. Whatever treatment option you find most appealing, the most important thing you can do is listen carefully to the instructions you receive from your doctor, and pre and post procedure care will be essential in achieving the results you are looking for.

Drug Lord is the second volume in the authors' High Ground series about international entrepreneur and libertarian idealist Charles Knight. I can't fault it as a libertarian work; of course, libertarians disagree about a lot of specific issues, but any libertarian reader will recognize the basic point of view. And I didn't bog down in reading it, or find it a struggle to turn the next page.
Nonetheless, I have to say I'm ultimately not satisfied with Drug Lord as a book.

Sinéad Butters, PlaceShapers: "Our collective role in regenerating and renewing communities offers a clear opportunity for us to lead on delivering well-designed, inclusive and adaptable homes"
It's Habinteg's #ForAccessibleHomes week of action. From 9-13 September we'll be featuring expert guest blogs all week on the accessible housing crisis and the steps we need to take to build more, quality accessible homes for our ageing and disabled population. Closing the week is Sinéad Butters, Chair of Placeshapers.
PlaceShapers members are far more than simply landlords. We believe we make a vital contribution to communities, enhancing the lives of our tenants right across the country. Between us, PlaceShapers members house over 2 million people in over 900,000 homes, accounting for a quarter of all housing association tenancies in England. That's a whopping potential impact that we can make to individuals, families and communities.
One area of impact that we're particularly proud of is the positive outcome for people's health and wellbeing that can flow from having a suitable home. That might mean a home that enables tenants to be more independent in terms of domestic and family life or personal routines, or in their connectivity to the community and the ease with which they can get out and about to get involved. All of these factors can support good physical and mental health for individual people as well as building vibrant inclusive communities.
With such a large proportion of disabled people housed by the social sector, and our rapidly ageing population, the design of the physical spaces that we build and manage is increasingly critical in supporting our tenants' health and wellbeing. Building with the future of the home in mind – not just its initial occupants but a series of households over the lifetime of the property, is so important and sits well with the current thinking on energy efficiency and climate impacts. Accessibility and flexibility isn't purely beneficial to the people living in the home. It can reduce the burden on NHS and care services by making things like hospital discharge easier, reducing reliance on visiting carers and making adaptations faster and less expensive when they're needed.
As an organisation with members in every English region, we're aware of how much policies vary from place to place. Our 15 London based members, for example, have long been accustomed to the requirements set down in the London plan for all new homes to be at least accessible and adaptable. Initially this was delivered by meeting the Lifetime Homes standard and more recently by meeting the requirements of Category M4(2) of building regulations (called the accessible and adaptable standard). In London there has also been a requirement for 10% of new homes to be designed to meet the needs of wheelchair users.
Elsewhere in the country planning policy varies a lot, and we've seen with interest Habinteg's calculations on what this means for the delivery of accessible new homes over the next 20 years. In the East of England we'll see one built for every 52 people in the population, whereas in the West Midlands the current local plans indicate just one home new accessible home for every 270.
Enlightened by this information it's a good moment perhaps for the sector to consider whether all regions should be following London's planning policy lead. The government is poised to consider this option - the last PM having announced a consultation on review of the national policy at CIH conference in June. PlaceShapers members are already delivering accessible and adaptable homes across the country, often helping Local Authorities deliver their plans where they've set positive requirements.
Our collective role in regenerating and renewing communities offers a clear opportunity for us to lead on delivering well-designed, inclusive and adaptable homes that can last not just one lifetime but for generations. So having a level policy playing field on access standards across the country could certainly simplify things for our developing members. And it would help to ensure that more tenants than ever benefit from the ease of living in homes that are flexible for a whole range of needs. We look forward to the promised consultation as an opportunity to ensure that all new homes are homes fit for the future of our vibrant and varied communities.

Intermatic CL191 Malibu Low Voltage Premium Forged Metallic Three Tier 11
Dwelling Enchancment was probably the most-watched American sitcom within the '90s.

Richardson was nominated for 4 Emmys and two Golden Globes for her role as Jill Taylor. Once we had a studio audience for the primary time, it was odd as a result of I walked on the market and saw all these folks and I felt like I should do something," Karn mentioned.
Tim felt very father-like to the youngsters and I think it hurt his emotions that Jonathan did not show up," Karn mentioned in regards to the finale.

What I like about my neighborhood I
Yesterday morning was unseasonably warm with lots of rain and wind. It was also trash/recycling day for my block. Noted that my neighbor across the street's bag for paper recyclables had torn and the contents were fluttering up the street. Though running late for work, decided to Do the Right Thing and run around collecting the flyaways. Weighted what I picked up down and headed off to work.
That evening after I got home, I heard a knock on my front door. Answered it to find my across the street neighbor standing there with a big bouquet of flowers and his Definitive Holiday Mix CD for 2005. Told him that this was all unnecessary, that I was just being neighborly. His answer was that what I did was not the normal neighborly thing to do around these parts and that he really appreciated it. Beat down my normal resistance to gifts of flowers from men and accepted them as graciously as possible.

He's a good guy. Two summers ago, he gave me a ton of perennials for my garden. His partner, who has nearly the same route to work as I do, will often take me into work in bad weather. I really like them.

Gentac 'Giolden Ring'
Gentac 'Giolden Ring'B30 GOLDEN RING
The Gentac 'Golden Ring' features a mesmerizing frame in 24K gold Koftgari (the ancient Indian technique of inlaying gold and/or sterling silver in tool-steel), inlaid with the 'ring' section of a 10,000 year-old fossil Woolly Mammoth tusk . The blade is hand-forged 'Hornet's Nest' damascus by Mike Norris; the one-hand button lock and the thumb stud are set with citrines.
An exceptional design that offers rigorous performance in a sleek, comfortable knife, the Gentac is also the perfect canvas to showcase William Henry's range of exotic materials and techniques.
The 'Golden Ring' features some of the exotic materials and forged metals that are the hallmark of William Henry's collections.
Features & Specs
- One-hand button lock system
- Leather carrying case
- Shipped in an elegant wood presentation box
- Dimensions:
Blade 3.25" (82.5mm)
Handle 3.80" (96.5mm)
Overall open 7.00" (177.8mm)
Hornet's Nest damascus
Damascus steel was a term used by several Western cultures from the Medieval period onward to describe a type of steel created in India and used in swordmaking from about 300 BC to 1700 AD. These swords were characterized by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Such blades were reputed to be not only tough and resistant to shattering, but capable of being honed to a sharp and resilient edge. William Henry's damascus is made from several types of steel welded together to form a billet.
The patterns vary depending on how the damascus artist works the billet. The billet is drawn out and folded until the desired number of layers are formed. William Henry damascus billets are forged with a minimum of 300 layers. William Henry works with a handful of the very best damascus artists/forgers in the U.S.Link to damascus Page
Koftgari is the name for fine gold (and/or silver) patterns inlayed into parkerized steel. This ancient Indian technique, done entirely by hand, involves creating a very fine cross-hatch grid in the steel and then burnishing 24K gold (and/or silver) into a pattern that is bound by the cross-hatch. Parkerizing involves soaking the steel in a boiling solution of salts to oxidize the steel a deep brown/blue. Beautiful and timeless, koftgari is nearly a lost art.
William Henry's koftgari comes from 2 small villages in India, home of the very few Indian artisans that still master this technique.
Fossil Mammoth Tusk
Literally the ring section of the fossil tusk of a Woolly Mammoth that walked the Earth at least 10,000 years ago.
Modern humans coexisted with woolly mammoths during the Upper Paleolithic period when they entered Europe from Africa between 30,000 and 40,000 years ago. Prior to this, Neanderthals had coexisted with mammoths during the Middle Paleolithic and up to that time. Woolly mammoths were very important to Ice Age humans, and their survival may have depended on these animals in some areas.
The woolly mammoth is the next most depicted animal in Ice Age art after horses and bisons, and these images were produced between 35 and 11.500 years ago. Today, more than five hundred depictions of woolly mammoths are known, in media ranging from carvings and cave paintings located in 46 caves in Russia, France and Spain, to sculptures and engravings made from different materials.
William Henry's fossil Mammoth tusk is harvested in Alaska and Siberia, often from underwater. It is a rare and mesmerizing material, a living testimony of the dawn of Mankind.
Citrine is a variety of quartz whose color ranges from a pale yellow to brown due to ferric impurities.
The name is derived from Latin citrina which means "yellow" and is also the origin of the word "citron." Sometimes citrine and amethyst can be found together in the same crystal, which is then referred to as ametrine.

Some criteria to look for when choosing a patent attorney include:
A patent attorney who has a lot of experience will know what the USPTO expects in terms of the patent content, and will tailor your patent to fit those expectations. In addition, an attorney who has experience working with the patent examiners at the USPTO will better know what arguments to present on your behalf during the prosecution phase.
A patent attorney who has been involved in litigation of patents, either for infringement purposes or other aspects of patent law has an understanding of what will hold up in court and what is likely to be challenged, and how to meet those challenges with arguments of his or her own.
Any patent attorney you choose should return your phone calls! They should answer any questions you have to the best of your ability.
A search is essential for identifying prior art. Prior art is the set of patents for inventions that are similar to your invention. An experienced searcher knows what terms to use and how to identify relevant prior art. If there is prior art that is very close to your idea, then you can't get a patent on your invention. It will most likely get rejected by the patent examiner, and you need to know that before you invest any money. If there is prior art that is close but not too close, then you need a patent attorney to help determine if there is a possibility of obtaining a patent.
It should take only 1-2 weeks to get your search results. It may take a little longer (1 week) if the field of prior art is crowded with many inventions that are similar to yours.
This partly depends on you, because you should be involved with every step. After either meeting with the attorney to describe your idea or sending him or her the invention disclosure, the attorney should work with you to draft the claims. This should happen within 3-4 weeks of your meeting (the attorney needs time to draft some rough claims to discuss with you). After the claims are drafted, they are sent to you for review and/or revisions. Once the claims are written to your satisfaction, the drawings are requested from the draftsman; after the drawings arrive, the specification is drafted. This takes another 3-4 weeks for a relatively simple patent. Depending on the complexity of the patent and your responsiveness, you should have a first draft to review within 2 months of hiring a patent attorney. Of course, a more complex patent will take more time, usually an additional month or two. The patent should be filed with the USPTO within a week of your approval of the final draft.
A patent attorney should know what the requirements, including timelines, criteria, and rough costs are of filing internationally.
I do like that the article points out the need to hire a patent attorney that has experience defending patents. After all, defending a patent in court is not something that an inventor usually thinks that they will have to do. However,if that does happen then you'll feel much more at ease if your patent attorney has done it several times before.

Hearty Tuna & Sweetcorn Panini Recipe
An old favourite, perfect for a speedy and tasty snack.
This is definitely one of our simplest and most straightforward recipes, but that doesn't stop it from being extremely tasty. Basically, it's a glorified tuna sandwich, but the addition of a toasted Panini instead of ordinary bread does make a delicious difference. Now don't get us wrong, a traditional John West Tuna sandwich on sliced white or brown bread is still a wonderful thing, but the extra crunch and bite a Panini provides is well worth a try. And because this is so quick to make, you can rustle one up in next to no time as a savoury snack or an extra special supper.
To prepare our Tuna Sweetcorn Panini Recipe in a bowl, mix together the tuna, sweetcorn and mayonnaise and season with pepper.
Toast the panini halves on both sides and fill with the tuna mayonnaise mixture.
For more information on all our Tuna Recipes please click here.
- Ingredients
- 1 can John West Tuna In Brine, drained
- 2 individual panini or ciabatta rolls, halved lengthways
- 1 tbs tinned sweetcorn in water, drained
- 1 tbs mayonnaise

In honor of my brother Jason getting married today, I made this video. I had fun making it and I hope people have fun watching it. We all wish Jason and Zsaleh the best of luck. Cody and Sierra certainly send their wishes too! Congratulations!
Tag: Cody
When You Wish Upon a Star
Here is Cody and Sierra's latest video. We do "When You Wish Upon a Star" aka the Disney theme song. It seems the dogs singing is getting better, as my Saxophone playing is getting slightly worse. Honestly…. this was a practice version that we got on camera. Our best songs are not recorded! Argh! Also I need to take my saxophone to a woodwind technician for servicing.
Happy New Year!
Wishing all a Happy New Year!
-Adam, Sierra, and Cody
Sierra and Cody sing "The Christmas Song"
As you might have already seen Sierra, my dog, has great singing talents. I recently did a rendition of the classic The Christmas Song also known as Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire with both Sierra and Cody. (Cody is hard to hear, but he does sing!) We also got a good mention on Ohmidog.com, which Sierra and I were featured on awhile ago.
A Belated Merry Christmas!
Sierra on Fleastuff.com
This doesn't have anything to do with cars, but I thought I'd share it anyway. My dog Sierra is Pet of the Month on Fleastuff.com! I'm very proud of her!
