George Nathanael Anderson |
George Nathanael Anderson (August 8, 1883 – October 8, 1958) was an American Lutheran pastor and missionary to Tanganyika. |
Anderson studied at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas and the Augustana Theological Seminary before being ordained by the Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church in 1912. |
He held a succession of posts in the American Mid West before volunteering for missionary service. |
Anderson was sent to the British colony of Tanganyika in 1924 to review the situation there. |
As a former German colony the territory had hosted missions of the German Lutheran Church but these were expelled in 1917 during the First World War. |
Anderson reported favourably and a formal Augustana Church mission was sent in 1926, with Anderson at its head. |
Anderson oversaw the expansion of the church's role in the territory and in 1944 was appointed President and director of its General Administrative Committee, becoming responsible for the church's entire operation in Tanganyika. |
He retired in 1956 and died in the United States two years later. |
George Nathanael Anderson was born on August 8, 1883 in Morganville, Kansas. |
He graduated from Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas in 1909. |
He later graduated from the Augustana Theological Seminary; studied at the University of Minnesota and the Union Theological Seminary and was awarded a doctorate. |
Anderson was ordained as a pastor in 1912 and found work preaching in the Midwestern United States with the Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church. |
At one point he was at the First Lutheran Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota where he ministered to a congregation of over 1,500 people. |
In 1919 he was amongst a group of people praying at a church meeting for a new bible school to train Lutheran missionaries. |
Amongst the attendees was Annette Elmquist, who had attended a non-Lutheran bible school and was keen for the church to have its own. |
Soon afterwards Elmquist and Anderson were married. |
The Lutheran church had been active in missionary work in Tanganyika before the First World War, however the largely German missionaries were expelled by British forces in 1917. |
The Augustana Church was asked to take over the abandoned missions by the German Lutheran Church and in Summer 1924 Anderson with his wife and three sons (LeRoy. |
Paul and Marcus) visited the colony. |
Anderson reported good potential in the area and a formal mission was dispatched by the church in 1926, with Anderson being appointed a missionary by the church's Board of Foreign Missions. |
After some deliberation (he would have to leave behind his family, including daughter Dorothy who was then ill with tuberculosis) Anderson agreed and returned to Tanganyika on January 6, 1926 with fellow missionaries Herbert S Magney and Ludwig Melander. |
Anderson initially spent his time teaching new pastors at the mission's seminary in Marangu but reported to the church that there was a good appetite for the Lutheran faith in Iramba and it was decided to establish a mission there. |
Anderson was appointed head of the mission and led four American missionaries and one from Leipzig (who held Russian citizenship and so was permitted entry by the British authorities). |
Anderson's speciality was in evangelism and the study of the Iramba language, into which he translated the New Testament and various hymns, liturgies and catechisms . |
Anderson's wife and children joined him at Iramba from 1927 and remained with him until his retirement in 1956, though Annette would sometimes reside in the United States with some of the children to ensure their education. |
One son, Marcus, died in Iramba of Malaria. |
They had seven surviving children of which four sons became pastors, including one who was a missionary in Tanganyika. |
One of Anderson's daughters married a missionary and served for her entire life at a mission in Iramba. |
Anderson occasionally returned to the United States on leave and during these periods worked to generate support for the African missions. |
During one such visit he helped to found the Lutheran Bible Institute. |
From 1944 he was appointed president and director of the General Administrative Committee of the Augustana Lutheran Church (which until 1944 was known as the General Committee of Former German Missions). |
In this role, which he held until 1952, he was responsible for liaising with the Tanganyikan government. |
One key task was to negotiate with the colony's government over the ownership of land and property formerly held by the German Lutheran Church. |
During Anderson's time in Africa the Lutheran missions expanded to encompass a number of churches and dispensaries, a hospital at Kiomboi and leper centres at Mkalama and Iambi. |
He described the effect of listening to a congregation of 2,000 singing Luther's hymn "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God": "I never heard it sung with more spirit; the effect was almost overwhelming". |
Anderson retired in 1956 and was invited to remain in Tanganyika by the local church but chose to return to the United States. |
He died on October 8, 1958 in Minneapolis. |
The Bromley Boys |
The Bromley Boys is a 2018 British, coming-of-age, warm-hearted, humorous film. |
Based on an eponymous autographical book by author Dave Roberts, the film is set in north Kent, in the suburbs of London, during the late 1960s and early 1970s. |
The story is about the teenaged David "Dave" Roberts, who becomes a fan of his local football club, Bromley F.C., a club who at the time were, "the worst football team in Britain". |
The film touches briefly on the euphoria caused by England winning the World Cup in 1966, but mainly recounts the events in the protagonist's life during the 1969/1970 season of the Bromley team. |
In the late 1960s, a young British teenager, David (Dave) Roberts (Brenock O'Connor), is living in his parents' house in Sevenoaks. |
He wishes to follow a major football (soccer) team, but because of his father's strong disapproval, he is forced into secretly following his local club, Bromley FC, who at that time were losing almost every game they played. |
Nonetheless, David instantly becomes a devoted fan. |
He attends, and carefully analyses every match, and keeps a scrapbook of every press mention they get, no matter how negative. |
His favorite player is the team's star, center forward Alan "Stoney" Stonefield (Ross Anderson). |
David meets and become close friends with three adult Bromley FC fans (TJ Herbert, Mark Dymond, Ewen MacIntosh) who encourage and support him. |
Dave also meets, and rapidly falls in love with, Ruby McQueen (Savannah Baker), the pretty and bright teenage daughter of Charlie McQueen (Jamie Foreman), the tough scary Chairman of the football club. |
Having sneaked into Charlie McQueen's office, and noticed some notes on player's files, Dave believes that McQueen has received large cash offers from both Manchester United and Leeds United to sell Stoney away from Bromley. |
It seems to Dave that McQueen is planning to accept, in order to pay off his massive gambling debts, which have rendered the club bankrupt. |
Dave happens to accidentally meet Stoney, who turns out to be very kind, and strikes up a friendship with him. |
The news of the supposed offer to buy Stoney is leaked to the press. |
The Chairman see this news on television, and now imagines he will be able to pay off all his gambling debts and come out ahead. |
He announces the good news about Stoney at a party, and explains he can now afford to send his daughter to university to become a doctor, her dream. |
But Dave suddenly understands that he misinterpreted what he read: the notes he saw were not about cash offers from leading football clubs, instead they were offers to Ruby from Manchester University and Leeds University. |
There will be no money coming in. |
In order to save Bromley, Dave browbeats the Chairman into selling his expensive sports car, and betting all of the cash on Bromley FC to win their final game of the season, at odds of 10 to 1 against. |
Dave also demands that the Chairman allow him to manage the team for this one final game. |
Despite Dave's attempts to suggest a new game plan, the first half of the game goes poorly, with Bromley scoring an own goal. |
But then Dave accidentally finds out that his father was originally a brilliant athlete who played youth soccer for England before being crippled in an accident on the field. |
Before the Bromley team goes out for the second half, Dave gives an impassioned speech, which Stoney endorses, and which causes the team to play better than anyone would have thought possible. |
First a tie goal is scored, and then Stoney manages to score a very challenging goal on a free kick, and Bromley FC wins 2-1. |
Dave is carried off the field in triumph, and joy all round. |

Voces Unidas |
Voces Unidas is a studio album recorded by several famous latin artists for the Olympic Games "Atlanta 1996", released on May 14, 1996 through EMI Latin. |
The album was a success, reaching the fifth place in the "Billboard" Latin 50 chart. |
In early 1996, Emilio Estefan and EMI Latin president José Behar planned to bring together the most important Spanish-speaking artists and create material for the upcoming Olympic Games, as a reaction to several English-speaking artists that were preparing their albums for the Olympic Games. |
Estefan and Behar had a conversation about the project with Atlanta Olympic Games committee, among them marketing vice-president Lous Wayne Cunningham. |
Behar said "Hispanics, in Latin America and Spain, have different cultures and customs, but there is something spiritual that unites us, and that is the language". |
After the Olympic Games committee agreed, Estefan started the recording of the album, although they didn't do it in the same studio, each artist recorded his or her song separately. |
Among the producers are included Marc Anthony, Emilio Estefan, Christian Walden and Oscar Mediavilla. |
Also some of the locations of recording include Miami, New York City, Los Angeles and Rio de Janeiro. |
