Abstract: Christianity was introduced to this world as a revolutionary movement. There are several evidences to confirm that the idea of women in leadership in the Church continued in the second and third centuries. Several writings of the second and third centuries reveal that women held an important role at least in some of the Christian sects of the second and third centuries. There are several sources in the form of writings and inscriptions that the second and third centuries witnessed a large number of women ministers, evangelists, prophets, teachers, widows in the ministry, writers, et cetera. There are archaeological evidences such as tombstone inscriptions and frescoes to prove the existence of women leadership and ordination in the early church

Abstract: This study examines the relationship between social support and gratitude for resilience among individuals with physical disabilities. Tests of social support, gratitude, and resilience were conducted on 30 adults with physical disabilities at the Bina Daksa Wirajaya Social Institution Makassar. Researchers hypothesized that aspects of social support and gratitude will affect resilience. The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that social support and gratitude have a positive effect on resilience. Specifically, the greatest contribution was made from emotional support and abundant gratitude. The implication of the findings of this study is to present an intervention to increase the level of resilience among adults with physical limitations

Abstract: The aim of this study was to ascertain the determinants of usage intensity of e-resource platforms accessible to postgraduate students of a Kenyan private university.

Cross-sectional descriptive survey design was used. The target population was 225 postgraduate students who were on session during September 2017 semester and who had completed at least one year of study. From this, 79 eligible respondents were randomply sampled. Perception data was matched against users" uniform resource locator (URL) log count.

Abstract: Muslims in India are one of the largest minority populations. One of the assumptions in the public domain is that, Muslims are homogeneous category. Interestingly, the cultural and traditional differences among Muslims of Indian subcontinent is multifarious. This diversity is also because of geographical locations and mixed population of different culture and tradition. One of the major questions in the postmodern times is the question of multiple identities, which also shackles preconceived notions about Muslims as homogeneous category. The politics of recognition (Charles Taylor) and difference has played crucial role in the political field by the marginalized populations to get the due rights and representation in the mainstream politics. This paper tries to reflect and explore some of the specificity and contiguity (inter-sectionality) in everyday life of Muslims of Eastern Uttar Pradesh (Purvanchal).............
