Presently, and in the past, the predominant investigative emphasis
among research workers in arteriosclerosis has been on plasma and
arterial lipids. Recent data from a number of laboratories suggest
that arterial mesenchyme is of considerable importance in the
pathogenesis and fate of arteriosclerotic lesions. The significance
of some of these observations made it clear that there was need for
intensified research on the connective tissue components of the
arteriosclerotic lesion and that arteriosclerosis research workers
could benefit from a more comprehensive view of the subject.
Because of their experience in the field of arteriosclerosis and
their interest in stimulating new directions for research on the
lesion, the Committee on Coronary Artery Lesions and Myocardial
Infarctions of the Council on Arteriosclerosis, American Heart
Association, planned an International Workshop on Arterial
Mesenchyme and Arteriosclerosis. The Workshop brought together
scientists expert in connective tissue research and research on
arteriosclerosis who presented the current status of knowledge in
their areas of expertise. The Workshop was held April 2-3, 1973 at
the Royal Orleans Hotel, New Orleans, Louisiana and was attended by
more than 170 people. The twenty papers and discussions presented
in this volume summarize the proceedings of the Workshop and
represent a comprehensive review of the role of arterial mesenchyme
in arteriosclerosis.
Description: The content of the gospel never changes; however,
communicating it constantly fluctuates. Conveying the gospel to a
homeless, hungry woman may include providing a hot bowl of chili,
while an agnostic co-worker might be open after several rounds of
golf. The message is the same, but the method of communicating it
is as wide and varied as life itself. Finding the correct method is
like hitting the ""sweet spot"" on a tennis racket or golf club. It
takes time, study, and practice, but once you find it you have more
success. The ""sweet spot"" in missions is called contextualization
and involves much more than learning a new language. It means
knowing a country's religious, political, and social conditions.
Correct theology, financial backing, and language acquisition are
meaningless without contextualization. This book tells the story of
a German organization struggling to contextualize the gospel in a
very hostile environment. Its mission was to revive a dying church,
characterized by centuries-old religious pride and pluralism. This
study details the challenges of faithfully communicating the gospel
in a post-Christian culture and serves as a study to enable
missionaries to recognize and respond to cultural issues affecting
the contextualization process.
