Title: Residential and community services for persons with mental retardation and related disabilities: Background information and proposed legislation
Date: 1985
Summary: Since 1973, Federal Medicaid funds have been used to help support services for institutionalized mentally retarded persons. Legislation has been introduced in the 99th Congress that would transfer most of these funds out of the institutions and make this funding available for community -based services. Advocates of the legislation believe that community -based services are preferable to institutional services, but some parents of institutionalized persons feel that the larger residential facilities are a necessary part of the service system.

Title: Milton's house of God: the invisible and visible church
Date: 1993
Summary: In Milton's House of God, Stephen R. Honeygosky examines the ecclesial center of a representative sampling of John Milton's prose written throughout his life. Interrelating this body of literature with Reformation and post-Reformation history and theology, Honeygosky argues that for Milton the two major dimensions of church (the invisible and the visible) have an inextricable, ongoing, intersecting-though-not-equivalent relationship. He shows that it is the dynamic interaction between the two out of which Milton's entire ecclesiology proceeds. Milton's House of God explores in depth Milton's concept of church and its relation to the True Church, which he came to believe was always invisibly and spiritually gathered because of its mystic incorporation with Christ. Honeygosky discusses the new visible manifestations of the True Church during the seventeenth century the doctrine that can be distilled even from Milton's not explicitly doctrinal tracts and the evident and consistent verbal pattern that he used to feed and foster a Radical-Reformist communion. Additionally, Honeygosky examines the transmutation of terms important for Milton. He demonstrates how Milton takes such traditional ecclesiological words as worship, separation, schism, license, heresy, holiness, Scripture, and Sacrament, rejects their standard usage, then empties the terms of their expected import before renovating and reappropriating them once again. Honeygosky concludes that the fundamental Miltonic definition of church is the individual believing reader of sacred texts who has become an interfusion of sacred place, text, and action - a veritable House of God. Thus, Milton's ecclesiology results in a new mythic form derived from and designated for mid-seventeenth-century English culture. The believing and reading individual is the most basic House of God, the embodied consolidation of Church and Scripture and Sacrament.
