The attitude of the church school teacher must be improved, and this is the primary purpose of this paper. An attempt was made to study scientifically teacher attitudes as measured by an adaptation of the Purdue Teacher Opinionaire administered to a systematically observed sample chosen from three church school faculties in the three Southern Baptist Churches in Denton, Texas.

The purpose of this study is to get some concrete evidence that group principles can be applied to church groups in an effective manner. The more immediate purpose is to improve the relations in the individual classes so that they will have a feeling of belongingness, relatedness, or close affiliation. It is the purpose of this experiment to help these individuals find the fulfillment of their personal needs that can be supplied in the Sunday School class.

I denna uppsats fördjupar jag mig i hur Westboro Baptist Church ser på människan och hur rörelsen övertygar omvärlden hur en människan ska leva. Uppsatsen är byggd på öppna brev ifrån Westboro Baptist Church som de har publicerat på deras hemsida. Breven behandlar vad Westboro Baptist Church anser vara mänsklighetens syndfulla levnadssätt och ger reprimander mot såväl stora som små aktörer i samhällets kretsar. Målet med uppsatsen är att ge förståelse för hur Westboro Baptist Church kan med hjälp av retoriken knyta samman sin gemenskap, och överleva när hela världen står emot dem. Genom Bergers teori om nomos och den klassiska retorikens tre grundpelare ämnar uppsatsen ge en bild av hur rörelser kan med hjälp av retorikkonsten hålla en rörelse levande trots att de står ensamma mot världen. / In this exam paper I seek a deeper understanding of how the Westboro Baptist Church views human life and how the Westboro Baptist Church tries to convince the world through their rhetoric. The paper is based on open letters by the church which have been published on their website. In the letters Westboro Baptist Church write about, what they think, are the most sinful parts of a human’s life, and they give guidelines as to how people should correct their habits and live a good Christian life. These letters of correction are sent out to people in the social arena, both big and small. The goal of the paper is to give a deeper understanding of how Westboro Baptist Church can keep their congregation alive through its rhetoric, and survive when the whole world is against them. With the help of Peter Berger’s theory of nomos and the three basic focal points of classical rhetorical analysis, this exam aims to give a better picture of how a closely knit group can remain functional when the whole world hates them.
