Ann Hutchinson, Cotton Mather, Jonathan Edwards
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page paper presents a hypothetical dialog between and among the three persons in the title. For instance, Hutchinson was banished from Massachusetts because of her radical ideas about gender equality. All three were influential in the history of religion in America. The topic is whether or not the church should ordain homosexuals. The essay begins with a brief background of each of the three. The essay then launches into the dialog that might occur. The writer also notes which of the three might be more accepting of the proposal. The reader must suspend logic regarding time periods (for example, Hutchinson was dead before Mather was born) and simply focus on what a discussion among these three luminaries might sound like. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Assessment of Northern Ireland since the Good Friday Agreement
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper assessing the Northern Ireland conflict since the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement. Since the Good Friday Agreement was implemented in Northern Ireland in 1998, the British and Irish Governments have been assessing the events and improvements which have occurred since that time. In addition to constitutional and government issues addressed in the Agreement, the implementation of the Agreement also led to equal rights and opportunities regardless of religious affiliation in the areas of employment, services, and education which increased community awareness and cooperation. The fact the Agreement also contained aspects of diminishing the British police presence in Northern Ireland and the release of political prisoners was also exceedingly well received. Within the last year however, certain components in regards to the implementation of the Agreement have stalled, such as the full development of a new police force and board, and people have been split along pro-Agreement and anti-Agreement lines.

Christian Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist
[ send me this paper ]
This 21 page paper addresses two issues: the sequence in which these sacraments should be administered and the age at which a person should be able to receive them. These two issues have been debated for centuries, more so the issue of age than sequence. There are historical precedents for each of the debaters but there is theological evidence in terms of the proper sequence. The debate about the age at which a person should be able to receive each of the three sacraments is fuzzier and more complex than the issue of sequence. Many believe that a child should have attained the age of reason, about age seven, before receiving confirmation and First Communion. The writer presents the arguments and presents a conclusive opinion with justification that there is no reason not to administer all three in infancy. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
