The purpose of this study was to describe what Christian education programs were like in Black congregations of the Church of God (Anderson, IN) which were served by graduates of Bay Ridge Christian College or were located in Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi. The researcher, a Christian education professor at Bay Ridge Christian College which is located in Kendleton, Texas, used the description to assist in curriculum development at the College. A nine page research instrument was designed and distributed to sixty-three pastors in the constituentgroups. The data were provided from twenty-eight respondents, all pastors. The data were analyzed in four major categories: Demographics and Pastoral Role, Congregational Data, Status of Christian Education Ministries, and General Concerns. The data were used to test eighteen hypotheses. The study indicated the majority of the pastors were bi-vocational in urban settings. They considered preaching, teaching, and administration as their (Anderson, IN), the Sunday School in Churches, and Bay Ridge Christian College the thesis. Southern Black were included in primary pastoral responsibilities. In the churches, volunteers were responsible for the Christian education programs. The programs did not have written goals and objectives but provided a variety of programs for all age groups in addition to the Sunday School classes. The congregations represented by the respondents provided and encouraged leadership development. They used Sunday School curriculum published by Warner Press, the Church of God Publishing Company in Anderson, Indiana; but did not find the materials distributed by the Board of Christian Education in Anderson to be useful to their local programs. The respondents indicated Bay Ridge Christian College could serve them by providing workshops in the following areas: children's ministries, administration of Christian Education, use of audio-visual aids, youth ministry, and Sunday School growth and development. They also expressed a desire to know more of the content of The Bible and for help in Bible study skills. The study concluded with recommendations to the Christian Education Department at Bay Ridge Christian College, the Administration of Bay Ridge Christian College, and the Board of Christian Education of the Church of God located in Anderson, Indiana and the Board of Christian Education of the National Association of the Church of God located in West Middlesex, Pennsylvania. Brief histories of the Black constituency of the Church of God (Anderson, IN), the Sunday School in Southern Black Churches, and Bay Ridge Christian College were included in this thesis. / Department of Educational Administration and Supervision

The West Ansil deposit was the first Cu discovery in 25 years in the Noranda Central Camp. It has a combined indicated and inferred resource of ~1.2 Mt. Grades for the indicated resource are 3.4% Cu, 0.4% Zn, 1.4 g/t Au and 9.2 g/t Ag. The bulk of the resource is located in three massive sulphide lenses (Upper, Middle and Lower) that are entirely within the Rusty Ridge Formation above the Lewis exhalite. The mineralization in all three ore lenses consists of massive pyrrhotite + chalcopyrite + magnetite. Semi-massive sphalerite is restricted to the upper and lower parts of the Middle lens. Massive magnetite occurs at the center of the Upper and Middle lenses, where it replaces massive pyrrhotite. A striking feature of West Ansil is the presence of abundant colloform and nodular pyrite (+marcasite) in the massive sulphides. Late-stage replacement of massive pyrrhotite by colloform pyrite and marcasite, occurs mostly along the upper and lower contacts of the lenses.

This dissertation combines mineralogical data and petrographic and field observations with geochemical analysis (major, trace and isotope) to provide new insights into the hydrology and geochemistry of mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems. Two study areas were chosen to study two different aspects of hydrothermal circulation: high-temperature on-axis hydrothermal systems were studied using samples from the Hess Deep Rift (Cocos Plate, Equatorial Pacific) and low-temperature off-axis hydrothermal systems were studied at the Troodos Ophiolite in Cyprus. Significant findings include the documentation of a previously unknown warm fluid that pervades the lavas leaching Li from newly formed crust. This finding corroborates a model of broad hydrothermal discharge in the sheeted dikes. In the off-axis low-temperature regime, lateral flow of warm fluid is documented in the lavas, advecting heat from the oceanic lithosphere, with minor geochemical changes to the lavas. The sedimentary cover was found to influence alteration in two ways. The longer an area remains unsedimented allowing the free ingress and egress of seawater, the deeper the enrichment of alkali metals is observed. The maximum enrichment in alkali metals (K, Rb, Cs) however, is similar in both locations. The sedimentary cover can also modify the seawater before it becomes impermeable to fluid flow; early metaliferrous oxide sediments react with seawater, creating a fluid that mobilizes and fractionates the REEs and Y. The fractionation results in negative Ce anomalies, positive Eu anomalies, and negative Y anomalies. Basalts altered under these conditions also lack the ubiquitous Fe-oxides and Fe-oxyhydroxides that are commonly associated with alkali metal uptake. In situ trace element analysis of alteration minerals formed at low-temperature confirmed that secondary phyllosilicates are strongly enriched in alkali metals (K, Rb, Cs and Li), Ba is found in adularia and zeolites, Sr is hosted in carbonates, and no phases were found to be enriched in U. The concentrations of K2O, Rb, Cs (as well as B) are highest in celadonites, whereas Li concentrations are highest in smectites (saponite, Al-saponite, beidellite) and smectite-chlorite mixtures, and much higher than previously reported. Alkalis are also taken up into palagonite, with Li having the highest concentrations, over 1000 ppm in one analysis. Crystal chemical factors were found to be the dominant control on trace element uptake, and for the phyllosilicates no correlation was found between the temperature, age of the crust, texture of the phyllosilicates. In phyllosilicates the K, Rb and Cs are adsorbed as exchange cations, with enrichment (Cs > Rb > K) increasing with decreasing hydration energy, whereas the uptake of Li and B does not correlate with the hydration energy. Lithium concentrations also do not correlate with the Mg content, suggesting substitution of Li for Mg is not the only mechanism of Li uptake into phyllosilicates as has been suggested. / Graduate

The circulation and gradual transformation in properties of oceanic water masses is a matter of great interest for short-term weather and biological forecasting, as well as long-term climate change. It is usually agreed that the Nordic Seas between Greenland and Norway are key to these transformations since they are an important producer of dense water, a process central to the theory of the global thermohaline circulation. In this study, one component of this deep water is examined – that formed in the Nordic Seas themselves from the inflowing North Atlantic Current. Using Lagrangian particle tracking applied to a 50-year global ocean hindcast simulation, it is concluded that only about 6% of the inflowing North Atlantic Current is thus transformed, and that most of these transformations occur in boundary currents. Furthermore, it is found that the densified North Atlantic water attains only medium depths instead of joining the deep overflows. The model’s poor representation of vertical mixing, however, limits the applicability of this study to deep water formation.
