Kenneth E. Hagin

Kenneth Erwin Hagin (August 20, 1917 – September 19, 2003) was an American preacher. He is often considered the father of the Word of Faith movement.

Personal life
Kenneth E. Hagin was born August 20, 1917, in McKinney, Texas, the son of Lillie Viola Drake Hagin and Jess Hagin. According to Hagin's testimony, he was born with a deformed heart and what was believed to be an incurable blood disease. He was not expected to live and at age 15 he became paralyzed and bedridden. In April 1933 he converted to Christianity. During a dramatic conversion experience, he reported dying, due to the deformed heart, three times in 10 minutes, each time seeing the horrors of hell and then returning to life. He remained paralyzed after his conversion.

On August 8, 1934, he says he was raised from his deathbed by a revelation of "faith in God's Word" after reading Mark 11:23–24. He was also healed of his paralysis and never struggled with walking. His dramatic healing is detailed in Roberts Liardon's book God's Generals.

defined his ministry and was his most frequently quoted verse: "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

Start of ministry
In 1936, he founded his first non-denominational church. He preached his first sermon as the pastor of a small, community Baptist church in Roland, Texas. In 1937, he became an Assemblies of God minister. During the next twelve years he pastored five Assemblies of God churches in Texas: in the cities of Tom Bean, Farmersville (twice), Talco, Greggton, and Van. Van, Texas was the last church he pastored before starting to travel.

On November 25, 1938, he married Oretha Rooker. They had two children. Their first child Kenneth Wayne Hagin, known as Kenneth Hagin Jr., was born on September 3, 1939. A daughter, Patricia (Hagin) Harrison, was born 19 months later on March 27, 1941. His son Kenneth Wayne Hagin is currently the pastor of Rhema Bible Church and President of Kenneth Hagin Ministries.

Hagin began an itinerant ministry as a Bible teacher and evangelist in 1949 after an appearance by Jesus. He joined the Voice of Healing Revival in the U.S. with Oral Roberts, Gordon Lindsay and T. L. Osborn between 1947 and 1958.

Hagin was given full admission to the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International (also known as the FGBMFI) which had been established in 1951.

Evangelistic Association
On January 23, 1963, he formed the Kenneth E. Hagin Evangelistic Association (now Kenneth Hagin Ministries) in Garland, Texas. In September 1966, the ministry offices were moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma into a space previously used by T.L. Osborn. He started selling his sermons on reel-to-reel tape in 1966. In November of that year, he taught for the first time on radio on KSKY in Dallas.

The North Texas District Council of the Assemblies of God ordained him a minister in 1967.

In 1967, he began a regular radio broadcast that still continues as "Faith Seminar of the Air." Teaching by his son, Rev. Kenneth Hagin Jr, is heard on the program.

Since Hagin's incorporation 1963, his organization grew to include numerous media outreaches and ministries. These are:
 * Faith Library Publications – with 65 million book copies in circulation
 * "q Praise" – a weekly television program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network
 * "Faith Seminar of the Air" – a radio program heard on many stations nationwide and on the Internet
 * "The Word of Faith" – a free monthly magazine with roughly 600,000 subscribers
 * Crusades conducted throughout the nation
 * Rhema Correspondence Bible School
 * Rhema Prayer and Healing Center, located on the Rhema campus in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

At a camp meeting in 1973, Hagin announced the creation of a "bible training center." In 1974, Hagin opened RHEMA Bible Training College, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, which now has training centers in fourteen different countries, planted over 1,500 congregations worldwide, and has 25,000 alumni.

In 1979, he founded the Prayer and Healing Center to provide a place for the sick to come and "have the opportunity to build their faith." Its Healing School continues to be held free of charge twice a day on the Rhema campus.

On May 20, 1994, Hagin received an Honorary Doctor of Divinity Degree from Faith Theological Seminary in Tampa, Florida.

Death
Hagin went to bed on Saturday September 13 feeling well, according to a news release from his ministry. He sat at the breakfast table on Sunday morning and smiled at his wife, Oretha, then sighed and his head fell to his chest. He died on Friday, September 19, 2003, at the age of 86.

On women pastors
Kenneth E. Hagin, in his book The Woman Question, accepts and approves the ordination of women as pastors and preachers in the Church.

Rhema Bible Training College
Hagin founded Rhema Bible Training College, previously Rhema Bible Training Center, in 1974. The college is accredited by Transworld Accrediting Commission International, This Bible institute is located on 110 acre in Broken Arrow, a suburb of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The curriculum is derived from a Charismatic/Pentecostal heritage. There are seven ministry concentrations specializing in Children's Ministry, Youth Ministry, Evangelism, Pastoral Care, Missions, Biblical Studies, and Supportive Ministry. Rhema has established training centers in Austria, Brazil, Colombia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Romania, Greece, Singapore, South Africa, the South Pacific, Thailand, Nigeria, Zambia, Egypt, and the Philippines.

After Hagin's death in 2003, his son, Kenneth W. Hagin, continued to run the institution. Rhema has trained over 80,000 graduates who reside and minister in 52 countries.

Locally, Rhema is known for its annual Christmas display, which in recent years has included more than 2 million lights synchronized to Christmas music.

Rhema was granted an exception to Title IX in 2016, Its 2020-2021 student handbook states that among students, "RBTC will not allow any type of physical or sexual activity/behavior other than what the Bible states is permitted for a husband and wife who are legally married. This includes, but is not limited to, homosexual activities, fornication, adultery, pornography, and so forth ...."

Talk:Irish poetry

Untitled
In case there's any mystification, Irish poetry was right to begin with, since it's a general term, while Irish Poetry is a proper name. We would only use "Irish Poetry" for a band, album, book, etc. Stan 14:21, 6 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Will lyrical artists such as Feargal Sharkey of The Undertones ever find a place on a poetry page? Hopefully someday. Even though the modern medium of compact disk attracts poetic talent it is obviously diffiult to reconcile the the two media of paper and recording on a realistic Wikipedia page lookup level. In case you are wondering, Sharkey wrote and performed the lines: "Everything Goes When You're Dead//Everything Empties From Inside Of Your Head//No Point In Waiting Today//Stupid Revenge Is What's Making You Stay." This stanza is delivered in a very cheerful pop format that is patterned after the singing of traditional Irish tenors. It seems like very modern Yeats to me, as translated through the genre of the Irish tenor. Perhaps a little sweeter, if you know this recording, from Positive Touch by The Undertones. I hate to interrupt poetic study, but there is a lot of quality in this music product and a wise student would certainly take it into consideration in his or her academic outlook. As a student of both Irish poetry and The Undertones I can certainly recommend Positive Touch to any and all. As a student of poetry, however, I certainly fall short when it comes to saying something meaningful on an academic peer-review level. I am sorry if this entry seems out of place in this article's Talk area. --McDogm 00:52, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Robert D. Joyce
I saw Irish Poetry on the front page, so, i added information about the irish poet i do know about, Robert D. Joyce. I know him cuz Dead Can Dance did a number on irish songs in their Into the Labyrinth album. If you know any more info, i'd be appreciated. Thanks. Project2501a 02:02, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Note that Robert D. Joyce is a redlink because the article is at Robert Dwyer Joyce -- 62.147.37.217 10:15, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Ex Featured Article
Do these articles get downgraded on the brain-dead but trendy "second album" or "film sequel" basis - or is there some more objective reason? (Sarah777 22:14, 2 December 2007 (UTC))
 * This article got nominated for a Featured Article Review that took place here. The FAR was noted by me on the Irish Wikpedians notice board on November 19 with additional comments about the lack of people interested in Irish FAs on the talk page the same day thought few editors seem really interested in maintaining Irish quality articles. If you have Irish literature knowledge it would be great to get someone else involved in George Moore right now as that might still be rescued before [Wikipedia:Featured article review/George Moore (novelist)|the FAR]] closes. If we could avoid that demotion, then we can try to get this back up to par. ww2censor 00:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sadly, science and geography, politics, history - these are the things I know something about; literature ain't my strong point; it's down there with religion! But I do wonder how so many FAs can have deteriorated since their heyday. I have acute antenna for intellectual trendiness (bad) and believe in the superiority of populism in the field of entertainment (where, of course, literature resides). (Sarah777 01:18, 3 December 2007 (UTC))
 * These are the demoted Irish FAs: Celtic tiger · Donegal fiddle tradition · Economy of Ireland · Éire · Irish theatre · Irish poetry · President of Ireland · Ryanair. Maybe one of these is up your alley. If so let me know and I will try to help re-promote it thought, like the assessment team we really need to reactivate the Irish featured article drive. ww2censor 03:51, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Might have a shot at Celtic tiger. But I can't see any commentary explaining why it was demoted and specifically what is required to restore it. Without such guidance I'd as likely ruin it further as improve it. Any tips? (Sarah777 12:55, 3 December 2007 (UTC))
 * Found it! HERE. I can see what they are getting at; the article wasn't being maintained, links dying etc. (Sarah777 13:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC))

I have deleted some lines of irrelevant waffle about poetry sales in the twentieth century from the 'Irish Poetry Now' section. They seemed to me to have nothing to do with the subject. This section, I'd like to suggest, is badly in need of a clean-up and expansion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.17.168 (talk) 20:49, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I have treied to add a section and links to the article about the Weaver Poets of Ulster, but to no avail, being undone for lack of citation. On e of the subjects from this genre Sameuel Ferguson is featured in the article.

Can I ask someone to reorder the article to take note of this subgenre of Irish poetry from the 19th century, or are Ulster Scots excluded from Irish poetry? As a nationalsit who desires the reunification of my country, and in the intrest of fair play and a balief in equality, I think this area of our poetic tradition needs to be highlighted in equality of importance with any of the other sections. Eiri Amach (talk) 15:33, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

This page is in need of a major overhaul. The idea that Ciaran Carson is a poet who has just 'emerged' in recent years, for instance, is ludicrous. Equally ludicrous, in comparison, is the amount of space occupied by one Basil Payne, a writer I think it's fair to say does not deserve to be on this page at all. Major rewrites needed all round. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.75.186 (talk) 14:01, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Gerard McKeown, in 'Poetry Now', has not published a book of poetry. How can he therefore be worthy of an encyclopaedia entry? I suggest deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.83.52 (talk) 08:46, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Can someone please do something about this article. It is abysmal, and has been for a long time. Derek Mahon is one of the newer emerging Irish poets, apparently. The unpublished non-entity Basil Payne is deserving of a whole paragraph. SORT IT OUT, SOMEONE.

I suggest you sort yourself out first, your ignorance is only superceeded by your arrogance. Basil Payne was first published in 1961, has four published books, and certainly deserves more than a paragraph -unlike you, he did not write without knowledge. Regards, his sons.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.206.198.200 (talk) 23:00, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Lack of References
This is a pastiche of an article that needs a major rewrite. Virtually nothing in the text is referenced. The twentieth century sections seem to have adisconnect between the importance of individual poets and the amount of space devoted to them.Cathar11 (talk) 03:34, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Latin
The lead mentions two languages, but shouldn't it mention a third, Hiberno-Latin? —Srnec (talk) 17:56, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Cut and additions
I have given the section on the twentieth century a fairly severe pruning, given the amount of superfluous information and the generally subjective tone. The links to various poets should supply all the further information that is necessary about the individuals in question. I have also added a number of references. Further work may be necessary.

I shall also devote some attention to preceding sections.

Colin Ryan (talk) 06:16, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

The Island
Shouldn't the article, especially the lede, address the ambiguity of the term "Irish poet"? That is it that includes poets from both the Republic of Ireland and from Northern Ireland; any poet writing in the Island of Ireland, whatever their nationality. Furthermore, does this article sufficiently articulate the political situation? Rwood128 (talk) 20:22, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Dubious source and plagiarism
There may be more. Rwood128 (talk) 18:15, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I keep finding more of the same – this is a mess. But I don't have any more time. Rwood128 (talk) 18:38, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

 * On returning I find more uncited quotations. This plagiarism looks like it may infringe copyright. Furthermore, the source seems to be a self-published e-book.Rwood128 (talk) 22:31, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

 * See "Gaelic poetry in the 17th century" for further examples

Rwood128 (talk) 22:42, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * It suddenly struck me that I might have it round the wrong way – could parts of this, and possibly other, Wikipedia articles have been incorporated into the e-book? Rwood128 (talk) 22:53, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

 * I'm feeling foolish, because it does appear that Poetry Kaleidoscope by Nicolae Sfetcu may well be a compilation based on Wikipedia. I compared "Old English literature", and found similar examples as with "Irish Poetry". I will revert my edits shortly. Rwood128 (talk) 23:49, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Heliopause (astronomy)

Supersonic and subsonic are terrible terms when applied to intersteller radiation. We need better ones.

The 'heliopause' page talks about the distance to the heliopause being closer in the direction of the Sun's orbit around the galaxy. I would have thought that the intersteller medium would be travelling in the same orbit as the Sun. Wouldn't the heliopause be closer in the direction of the Sun's motion through the intersteller medium, which is NOT necessarily the same direction as the Sun's orbit?

WRT supersonic and subsonic: what exactly is the speed of sound in a medium in which there is no sound?!?

 * Zero, of course, but those terms provide a useful point of reference in explaining such high speeds to the non-scientific. There are probably better terms, though I can't think of any right now. -- Jim Redmond 17:42, 6 Nov 2003 (UTC)

 * I would have expected subsonic, in this context, to refer to the speed of sound in the solar wind (around 10 km/s, apparently). I'm pretty sure it's not related to the speed of sound in air.  Sorry if that's what you meant and I just didn't get it. -- Prumpf 01:15, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

If it wouldn't be the speed of sound in the solar wind, the definition of the "termination shock" would be completely arbitrary.

 * "what exactly is the speed of sound in a medium in which there is no sound?!?"
 * Afaict there is sound in any medium its just denser mediums transmit it better than less dense ones and the solar wind and intersteller medium are very low density so sound transmission is extremely weak.

could someone knowledgeable check this out?
I made one correction, but what is meant by the particle's being "highly energised by their negative acceleration"? If the particles are slowing down, they're losing energy, no?. Matt 04:48, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Differentiating shock and pause
"The distance to the heliopause is 76 AU, as detected by Voyager 2." Voyager 2 has now reached the heliopause itself or the termination shock before it? I have been reading the latter (i.e., the solar wind has not been actually stopped where the crafts are now). Does anyone know the space between the shock and the pause? Is this line strictly accurate? Marskell 13:01, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that this is the distance to the termination shock. NHammen 22:25, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * This article no longer mentions how far away from the sun the Heliopause is. Can we get an update? Firsfron of Ronchester  03:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
