Humans have been choice-makers since the days when hunter-gatherers had to decide when to hunt and what to gather. Making choices is what humans do. But individuals feel more personal autonomy and power to choose today than ever before in human history. In Choosing Change, author Peter Coutts acknowledges that clergy today recognize the impact our individualistic culture of choice is having on congregations. But Coutts also points out that many leaders do not think about motivation.For them, encouraging change is about selling their congregation on a new idea, governed by the assumption that a better idea should win the day. Wide experience in the church demonstrates that this approach often doesn't work and leaves many congregational leaders demoralized. Leaders see the need for change in their congregation, and they earnestly want to help their congregation to change. But the approach to leadership they learned, which perhaps worked better in days gone by, is no longer working. Leaders are in the motivation business, argues Coutts. Choosing Change provides an overview of current thinking from the field of motivation psychology. In the first half of the book, Coutts explores theories, ideas, and terms that are most pertinent for leaders who desire to encourage congregational change. The second half of the book offers detailed guidance for congregational leaders who want to be motivational leaders.

The author analyses and describes the manner in which the Newgarden Meeting evolved from circa 1650 to 1730, exploring a wide range of topics including the growth in membership, Meeting discipline, governance, socio-economic status, tithe assessment, record keeping, religious life,education and migration. A number of new approaches to the analysis of Quaker records are used to assess participation of members in Meeting governance and readers are introduced to a "Reconstitution Model" that incorporates and integrates all manner of Quaker records enabling researchers to estimate Meeting membership at any point in time as well as to explore many other aspects of Quaker life with reasonable confidence. The author demonstrates that the Meeting was essentially governed by the wealthiest Members and he offers a number of select biographies of the wealthy and Members of lesser socio-economic status for comparison.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Sprachwissenschaft / Sprachforschung (fachubergreifend), Note: 1,0, Friedrich-Schiller-Universitat Jena (Institut fur Germanistische Sprachwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Grammatische Kategorien, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mir und mich verwechsl'ich nicht, das kommt bei mich nicht vor.' Diesen Ausspruch hat wohl nahezu jeder thuringischer Grundschuler in den ersten Jahren des Deutschunterrichts mindestens einmal gehort. Gerade im Nordthuringischen und im Niederdeutschen ist die Verwechslung dieser zwei Pronomina eine weit verbreitete sprachliche Erscheinung. Der oft bemuhte Lehrspruch ist dabei keineswegs Anzeichen fur das Unvermogen der Grundschuler, den Unterschied zwischen beiden Wortern zu lernen. Sondern er verdeutlicht, dass, trotz eines immer weiter voranschreitenden Dialektschwundes und des grosseren Einflusses der deutschen Standardsprache, die Mundart noch immer grosse Auswirkungen auf die Umgangssprache haben kann. Hier lassen sich beispielsweise sprachliche Relikte eines Einheitskasus erkennen, der in dieser Region einmal verwendet wurde und heute noch immer verursacht, dass der Dativ mitunter akkusativisch realisiert wird. Ausserdem lasst sich am oben genannten Satz eine weitere Folge dialektaler Einflusse erkennen, namlich das Pronomen ich' in Form eines Klitikons. Gemeint sind damit schwach beziehungsweise unbetonte Worter, die sich an benachbarte Worter anlehnen', wie bei verwechsl'ich. Einer gewissen Ironie entbehrt es nicht, dass ein Satz, der eigentlich zur deutschen Hochsprache erziehen soll, selbst Beispiel fur ein mundartliches Pronomen wird. Gerade solche Aspekte waren es, die in mir die Frage aufwarfen, wie das Verhaltnis von Hochsprache und Dialekt ist. ...] Um das zu realisieren, erscheint es mir zunachst unabdingbar, den Dialekt als Untersuchungsgegenstand zu charakterisieren und dabei die Termini Dialekt' und Standardsprache' zu erklaren und voneinander zu unterscheiden.
