In the mid 19th century many Germans migrated to the Midwestern United States. Many of them were influenced by the Reformation as well as the theology of John Calvin. When many of them settled in Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota, Adrian Van Vliet, a minister of First Presbyterian Church in Dubuque, Iowa made it his mission to train ministers for these new immigrants. Out of this effort came the University of Dubuque and the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. A second result was the banding together of 85 churches who formed the German speaking Synod of the West under the authority of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA). For nearly 47 years these churches reached out to the new immigrants and acted as an agent of change to not only evangelize them but also to introduce them into the American way of life and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) This is the story of that 47 year journey, from 1912 1959. Layout and Photographs by Jean E. Straatmeyer

The String People is a collection of twenty-eight unforgettable short stories drawn from Dr. Anthony Paul Sterling’s imagination, mixed with other tales of the author’s life experiences. The title of the book and the first story “The String People” came from “when I was very young. My brother and I had only matches to make people that we played with. We were poor and couldn’t afford real toys. These string people became soldiers, cowboys, etc.” From the short story “My Bald Head:” “Early in life, at age 5 or 6, I told my Grandma Cheecha (Francis), who spoke only Sicilian, that I wanted to be unna Doctura, so I could listen to her heart and give her injections of insulin. She would laugh and hug me. I never forgot this woman who got off a boat from Sicily with her husband Paul and 22 children … The next major influence came when I arrived on the children’s cancer unit. What affected me was the number of bald heads seen in almost every bed; this meant that all of them had cancer and were on chemotherapy. I never got over this; I prayed, cried, and eventually shaved my head.”

The modern materialist approach to life has conspicuously failed to explain such central mind-related features of our world as consciousness, intentionality, meaning, and value. This failure to account for something so integral to nature as mind, argues philosopher Thomas Nagel, is a major problem, threatening to unravel the entire naturalistic world picture, extending to biology, evolutionary theory, and cosmology. Since minds are features of biological systems that have developed through evolution, the standard materialist version of evolutionary biology is fundamentally incomplete. And the cosmological history that led to the origin of life and the coming into existence of the conditions ...
