  Youth With A Mission   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
As the story goes, after much studying, the expert left baffled and told Loren not to change a thing, as it shouldn't be working at all, so messing with it might bring the whole thing down.
While each of the foundational values of YWAM are important, this particular value is important to me- not only for its merit, but also for how we seem to be missing the point as to its deeper meaning.
Our foundational values are not static descriptions of what we are as a mission, but dynamic ideals that, while rooting us in our history and current identity, call us to imbody them in deeper ways.

  Foundational story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Openness to the New in Apocalyptic and in Process Theology
This correlation between little story and big story, between life story and the story of the universe, is fundamental to the whole storytelling enterprise as a way of giving meaning to man’s life.
Thus the apocalyptic story, with its vision of an all-encompassing end, tends to shift the new from being a surprise in the plot to being a final cessation of new occurrence at all.
The collapse of what I called the big story has raised the question whether there is any sense in talking about the span of man’s life as a little story, and with the collapse of the little story it is a severe question whether the new does not become noise rather than information.

 Abraham, Isaac, and Some Hidden Assumptions of Our Culture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
The story is not about substitution, symbolic or otherwise, but about a new morality; it represents not the end of the practice of child sacrifice but the beginning of a new order.
The foundational story of Abraham is central to these belief systems as well as to the societies influenced and the social arrangements legitimated by them.
I approach the story of Abraham as an anthropologist, viewing it not purely as a religious text but also as a cultural text; for no matter how divinely inspired it may have been, it is an artifact of human culture.

 A Story of Shalom
The story of Christian faith—what Philip Cunningham calls "a master narrative that expresses what Christianity is all about"—has always been told with reference to Judaism and Jewish history.
In the light of this new affirmation, it is imperative that the story of Christian faith be told differently than in the past.
In this revised story, Judaism is no longer viewed as an outmoded and replaced predecessor of Christianity but as an ongoing, spiritually dynamic tradition that may serve as a source of inspiration for Christians.

 AML-List Review: The Wine-dark Sea of Grass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
There are a few stories that form the basis of the larger Mormon community: the first vision, the attack at Haun's mill, the martyrdom, the trek west, both the establishment and the dissolution of polygamy.
In all of these stories it's the Mormons who are either directly blessed by the hand of God, or are persecuted for His sake by evil people.
The story is set in south-central Utah beginning in 1857, and follows the lives of the fictional Lorry family, a polygamist clan that lives and works in the same area as John D. Lee.

The stories in Jewish and Islamic versions are the same: the father is told to kill the beloved son and he raises his hand to obey; God rescinds the command and substitutes an animal.
In Christianity that story is importantly amended by Christ who is seen on the pattern of Isaac and Ishmael as the beloved son of God the Father who is willing to give his son to death for the sake of the people.
The Greek story is not told as a religious story until Freud makes the Oedipus complex psychoanalytic doctrine, but the Genesis story is foundational for the great monotheisms.

 Jon Levenson's Response - Archives - Information Resources - Institute for Christian and Jewish Studies - ICJS
On the Jewish side is a discomfort with theology in general and with the mythopoetic and sacrificial dimensions of the Hebrew Bible in particular and a corollary eagerness to present Judaism as liberal and enlightened, as the Enlightenment of the eighteenth century understood the term.
The persistence and reemergence of the story of the death and resurrection of the beloved son is a major embarrassment to many Jews of all sorts.
The story of the death and resurrection of the beloved son is indeed foundational for both communities, but the structures that are built on it are different.

One such circumstance arises when a character in a story begins to tell a story of his or her own, creating a narrative within a narrative, or a tale within a tale.

 Summer Books: Miracle stories reveal values of a religion
They are, rather, the stories that religions tell about their founders and their great saints.
Each religious tradition’s foundational story, along with its first miracle workers, is followed by a chapter that recounts stories of later followers and saints and their miracles, usually as shadows of the miracles performed in that tradition’s “golden age.”
And for Westerners, the stories of the religions of the East will lay to rest any idea that, deep down, all religions are really the same.

 MetaHistory - Promise of a Lonely Planet, 1
The story of how the Archons arise in the cosmic order, due to the precipitious plunge of Sophia, and how they intrude upon humanity is not told in great detail, but it is told adequately.
The Sophianic origin story is a narrative of events, a cosmological script as such, while the interpretation of how the Archons affect humankind is commentary, a diagnostic treatment of the story and, to some extent, an extension of it.
Unlike the origin story, Gnostic views on Archontic intrusion are not found in any single text, and even where they are found, they are often garbled and incomplete.

I argue that Luke not only depended heavily on the Joshua story but in fact reworked some of its major emphases in ways which would allow the new narrative to serve as a foundational story for the emerging Christian movement.
The dominant image\emdash and the one which gave rise to the title of this paper\emdash was the way Luke seems to reverse Joshua\rquote s telling of the taking of the land, which is mentioned twice in Acts (7:45 Stephen to the Sannhedrin and 13:19 Paul to the Jews of Antioch in Pisidia).
