BIO FOR CINDY CRANE, BACSAfter completing her greatest work of raising 3 adult children, Cindy returned to Briercrest Bible College, Caronport, Saskatchewan in 2012 and completed the degree in Christian Studies which she began in 1987. She will miss the church bells on Sunday mornings. She is most grateful for all her Godly and dedicated Profs. Her most vivid memory is ploughing her way to classes through snowdrifts for 7 out of 8 months! After moving to Mission, BC, she changed occupations to that of 'Traveller'. She spent six months travelling solo in Chile and Argentina. She is currently writing a book chronicling her adventures and achievements abroad.

Conversely, two arguments that would not be effective in defending the Trinity in today’s world will also be considered.

Language is intrinsically interwoven with the culture that it sustains and the relationships contained within each community (Thomson 2007: 1). Its underlying function is to facilitate verbal and written communication. Thus it is sociocultural in nature but is also utilized at the individual level as a mediating tool for thinking and learning which aids in self-regulation and problem solving (Swain 2011: 37). Language also has a cognitive nature as it requires specific grammar, vocabulary and lexical structures. Yet, it is so much more than a formal, rule governed system (Huston 2006: 4). Language also has a spiritual nature as God uses it to uniquely contextualize Himself within various cultures (Campbell 2005: 1). God created languages so that His message of redemption through Christ could be understood and grasped. Language then is sociocultural, cognitive and redemptive in nature. Language is learned over a time period during which its threefold nature becomes understandable. Avery effective approach is the Growing Participators Approach (GPA) as it stresses the 'languacultural' aspect of language acquisition. 'Languacultural' refers to a blending of spoken discourse (language) and lived discourse (culture) to make a meaningful whole (Thomson Version 9:3). Within GPA the CUTER principles outline a helpful progression (Thomson 2006: 1). In our Portuguese language learning group we practiced the first principle of Communing on a small scale as we joined with Marcelo
