Assassin's Creed II

Visiting St. Paul’s Parish Princeton For this field observation project, I chose to attend the 5pm Sunday service at St. Paul’s Parish in Princeton. Growing up in the Pentecostal tradition, I have become at home in free worship and contemporary liturgy. Most of the church’s I’ve attended in the past had many informal elements in their liturgy, designed to make new-comers feel a little less awkward and part of the church family. As a new Methodist, I have found many Methodist churches…

Methodists accept the Nicene Creed and Apostles' Creed as containing the core tenets of the Christian faith. and many congregations recite one or the other weekly in their worship services. The officially binding theological statements are not the creeds, but what are called the "Articles of Religion," which are drawn from the Anglican Church's Articles of Religion. Methodists are ecumenical and willing to work with and learn from Christians of other denominations. They believe in bringing their…

After the first ecumenical council, during the life of Emperor Constantine, the findings of the first ecumenical council were maintained and the Creed of Nicaea Prevailed. However, almost immediately after Constantine’s death in 337 controversies arose and lasted for more than forty years. The two sides of the controversy were made up of those who supported the findings in Nicaea and those who still supported the Arian views. This controversy ended up lasting until the Second ecumenical council…

Necessitated by the three way schism within Arianism, Basil the Great and the Cappadocian Fathers further developed the Nicene Creed to attract the more moderate Arians, as well as answer the heresies of Macedonianism. The Fathers distinguished the persons of Father, Son, and Spirit, separate from the substance of the Godhead. “It sanctioned the theology of the Neo-Nicenes, confessed…

While most of the hip-hop world's focus centers around the Pusha T-Drake beef, in case you missed it A$AP Rocky released a very personal and groundbreaking album "Testing." "Testing" is Rocky's third studio album, but this one's significance may be greater than either of his previous releases. This is the first album release since one of his close friends and group member A$AP Yams' tragic death. Still channeling the emotions from that, Rocky expressed on some of his emotions on this album.…

welcome all types of backgrounds and different combinations of Christian beliefs. Our church does not recite any historical creeds, but we do state our confessions. Alike, most Christians, we believe that God is the Father, Jesus is the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Christology can compare with Nicene orthodoxy because it is based on the study of Christ. I can agree with the Nicene Creed because I believe that the aspects of it is completely true. God made everything from nothing and the bible…

Every movie has multiple techniques that coordinate with each other in order to bring the meaning of it all together. The movie Creed, directed by Ryan Coogler, is one that uses these techniques quite nicely in order to show the determination of the main character, Adonis Johnson. From the very beginning of the film a big technique that stands out is narrative, which provides the structure of the movie. It begins with an extremely noticeable motif of Adonis Johnson at a juvenile detention,…

That’s why Apollo Creed supposedly won the match, not due to practicing his craft, but because he’s innately better at boxing than Rocky. This causes animosity towards Black Americans by having individuals believe that Black Americans receive more success in their life without…

These people arrived from modern Turkey as well as northern Syria, and beginning in the first half of the fourteenth century BC, slowly infiltrated vassal states, even seizing the major port city of Byblos. By the fifth year of the reign of Rameses II, Egyptian control of Syria was compromised, and war had begun disputing the region. While this Pharaoh would eventually expel the…

Hitchcock’s Psycho, from ‘Inside Norman Bates’ and ‘The World Inside Its Image’ The benchmark of horror films could easily be Hitchcock’s most revered work ‘Psycho’ (1960). The black and white filmscape does not downplay the crimson colour of blood spiralling down the plughole after Marion’s fatal stabbing, nor the shock of Norman’s mothers sunken eye sockets. It’s 2015 and this is the first time I have properly been introduced to the film however as a testament to its making I had nightmares…
