Organs: Church Organs Brief Overview
Most organs in Europe, the Americas and Australasia can be found in Christian churches or Jewish synagogues. The introduction of church organs is traditionally attributed to Pope Vitalian in the 7th century. Due to its ability to simultaneously provide a musical foundation below the vocal register, support in the vocal register, and increased brightness above the vocal register, the organ is ideally suited to accompany human voices, whether a congregation, a choir or a cantor or soloist. Most services also include solo organ repertoire for independent performance rather than by way of accompaniment, often as a prelude at the beginning the service and a postlude at the conclusion of the service.
Today this organ may be a pipe organ (see above), a digital or electronic organ that generates the sound with Digital Signal Processing (DSP) chips or a combination of pipes and electronics. It may be called a church organ or classical organ to differentiate it from the theater organ, which is a different style of instrument. However, as classical organ repertoire was developed for the pipe organ and in turn influenced its development, the line between a church and a concert organ is hard to draw.
Organs are also used to give recital concerts, called organ recitals. In the early 20th century, symphonic organs flourished in secular venues in the United States and UK, designed to replace symphony orchestras by playing transcriptions of orchestral pieces. Symphonic and orchestral organs largely fell out of favor as the Orgelbewegung (Organ Reform Movement) took hold in the middle of the 20th century and organ builders began to look to historical models for inspiration in constructing new instruments. Today, modern builders construct organs in a variety of styles and for both secular and sacred applications.

Betty Dorris Funeral Service 4/20/2013
Sensing God's call to serve as a missionary, this graduate of Norristown High School and Columbia University also enrolled in a certificate program at Philadelphia College of Bible (now Cairn University). She then served for a year as a physical therapist at a mission rehab center in Haiti for handicapped children. Upon returning to Pennsylvania she continued in physical therapy while volunteering as a youth leader at First Presbyterian Church of Norristown and initiating an outreach to children who were patients at the former Sacred Heart Hospital.
Marrying Roger Dorris, a seminary student, in 1978, she pursued her Ph.T. (putting hubby through), and upon his graduation they served a diverse urban church in Jersey City, NJ for 3 years prior to going overseas.
With 3-year-old David and 3-month-old Anna in tow, Betty and her husband left for Lima, Peru in 1984 to bring the hope of Christ during a time when the Shining Path and Tupac Amaru terrorist groups were at their height. Serving the evangelical mission agency, ReachGlobal, they planted a church that met in their home and later in its own building down the street. Betty taught women and children and provided much-needed counsel for those struggling to thrive in a difficult situation. Giving birth to Mark in Lima, and to Joseph on a furlough in the US, Betty raised their 4 children in a bi-lingual and bi-cultural environment.
Moving to Caracas, Venezuela in 1993, Betty continued serving with Roger in church planting, teaching ladies and children as well as providing keyboard accompaniment in worship.
Returning to Pennsylvania for family educational needs in 1997, Betty resumed her physical therapy career part-time while serving as a discussion leader in Chelten Baptist Church's ladies' Bible ministry, Tapestry. She also served as a deaconess and as a Missions Committee member at First Presbyterian Church of Norristown and traveled as able with her husband, Roger to numerous Evangelical Free churches in the eastern US.
Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2009, Betty underwent major surgeries and dealt with numerous complications with her characteristic grace and wit, trusting in God as her source of strength.
She is survived by her husband, Roger, a daughter and 3 sons: Anna Voorman and son-in-law Dr. Matthew Voorman of Danville, PA, David Dorris of Norwalk, CT, Mark Dorris of Tempe, AZ, and Joseph Dorris of Oreland, PA. She is also survived by her brothers, William Cobb of Fort Washington, PA, Rev. David Cobb of Absecon, NJ, and Arthur Cobb of Norristown, PA.
Betty was pre-deceased by her parents, William and Ruth Cobb of Norristown, PA.

SUMMARY
=======
The first brief European contact with Newfoundland and Labrador came about 1000 AD when the Vikings briefly settled in L'Anse aux Meadows. Around 1500, European explorers and fishermen from England, Portugal, Netherlands, France, and Spain (mainly Basques) began exploration. Fishing expeditions came seasonally; the first small permanent settlements appeared around 1630. Catholic-Protestant religious tensions were high but mellowed after 1860. The British colony voted against joining Canada in 1869 and became an independent dominion in the early 20th century. Fishing was always the dominant industry, but the economy collapsed in the Great Depression of the 1930s and the people voluntarily relinquished their independence to become a British colony again. Prosperity and self-confidence returned during the Second World War, and after intense debate the people voted to join Canada in 1949.
Poverty and emigration have remained significant themes in Newfoundland history, despite efforts to modernize after 1949. Most efforts failed, and the sudden collapse of the cod fishing industry was a terrific blow in the 1990s. The oil boom in the '00's has revived the economy, but the benefits are not distributed evenly. Over the second half of the 20th century, the historic cultural and political tensions between British Protestants and Irish Catholics faded, and a new spirit of a unified Newfoundland identity has recently emerged through songs and popular culture.

SUMMARY
=======
A library is a collection of sources of information and similar resources, made accessible to a defined community for reference or borrowing. It provides physical or digital access to material, and may be a physical building or room, or a virtual space, or both. A library's collection can include books, periodicals, newspapers, manuscripts, films, maps, prints, documents, microform, CDs, cassettes, videotapes, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, e-books, audiobooks, databases, and other formats. Libraries range in size from a few shelves of books to several million items. In Latin and Greek, the idea of a bookcase is represented by Bibliotheca and Bibliothēkē (Greek: βιβλιοθήκη): derivatives of these mean library in many modern languages, e.g. French bibliothèque.
The first libraries consisted of archives of the earliest form of writing—the clay tablets in cuneiform script discovered in Sumer, some dating back to 2600 BC. Private or personal libraries made up of written books appeared in classical Greece in the 5th century BC. In the 6th century, at the very close of the Classical period, the great libraries of the Mediterranean world remained those of Constantinople and Alexandria.
A library is organized for use and maintained by a public body, an institution, a corporation, or a private individual. Public and institutional collections and services may be intended for use by people who choose not to—or cannot afford to—purchase an extensive collection themselves, who need material no individual can reasonably be expected to have, or who require professional assistance with their research. In addition to providing materials, libraries also provide the services of librarians who are experts at finding and organizing information and at interpreting information needs. Libraries often provide quiet areas for studying, and they also often offer common areas to facilitate group study and collaboration. Libraries often provide public facilities for access to their electronic resources and the Internet.
Modern libraries are increasingly being redefined as places to get unrestricted access to information in many formats and from many sources. They are extending services beyond the physical walls of a building, by providing material accessible by electronic means, and by providing the assistance of librarians in navigating and analyzing very large amounts of information with a variety of digital resources. Libraries are increasingly becoming community hubs where programs are delivered and people engage in lifelong learning. As community centers, libraries are also becoming increasingly important in helping communities mobilize and organize for their rights. The relationship between librarianship and human rights works to ensure that the rights of cultural minorities, immigrants, the homeless, the disabled, LGBTQ community, as well as other marginalized groups are not infringed upon as protected in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
