Book Synopsis Prophets, Pastors and Public Choices by : Roger Hutchinson
Download or read book Prophets, Pastors and Public Choices written by Roger Hutchinson and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mackenzie Valley natural gas pipeline debate included many actors. This is the first in-depth study in comparative religious ethics to examine the debate with a particular focus on the role of the Canadian churches. In 1974 twenty-seven of the world’s largest oil and natural gas companies applied for permission to build a pipeline through the Mackenzie Valley to transport Alaskan and northern Canadian gas to large southern markets. Many northern native peoples opposed the proposal and called for a moratorium on major northern development projects until native land claims had been settled. The mainline Canadian Christian churches supported the call for a moratorium and, through the interchurch coalition, Project North, campaigned against the pipeline. However, some native peoples supported the proposal to build the pipeline, and many of the pipeline’s proponents were members of churches that called for a moratorium on the project. This case study in comparative religious ethics, though written from a pro-moratorium stand, attempts to clarify the debate. Conflicting responses to the pipeline proposal are assessed in relation to “hard facts” concerning the need for northern gas in the South, social-scientific findings regarding the impact of the pipeline on native communities, the rights of native peoples to participate in decisions affecting their lives, assumptions about the way of life of non-native people in the South and the role of religious convictions in public choices. This thoroughly researched study reveals the inner workings and influences of the Canadian churches involved and illustrates their commitment on behalf of the northern natives opposed to the project.
Book Synopsis Doing Ethics in a Pluralistic World by : Phyllis D. Airhart
Download or read book Doing Ethics in a Pluralistic World written by Phyllis D. Airhart and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2002-05-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doing Ethics in a Pluralistic World is an apt title for this collection of essays in honour of Roger C. Hutchinson who, over many decades, has encouraged and participated in shaping a Canadian contextual social ethics. His abiding interest in social ethics and in religious engagement with public issues is reflected in his life’s work — seeking the consensus and self-knowledge required to achieve cooperation in the search for a just, participatory, and sustainable society. One of Roger Hutchinson’s many notable accomplishments is his development of a method of dialogue for ethical clarification in situations of diversity. Some of the essays collected here apply this method to specific issues, while others discuss how religious persons and organizations can and do co-operate in a pluralistic world to achieve social and ecological well-being. All essays are of keen interest to those concerned with the role and function of ethics at the matrix of religious conviction and social transformation. For nearly three decades Roger Hutchinson has been based at Victoria University in Toronto, first in religious studies, then at Emmanuel College, where he completed his teaching career as professor of church and society while serving as principal from 1996 to 2001.

Download or read book Cold Science written by Stephen Bocking and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science during the Cold War has become a matter of lively interest within the historical research community, attracting the attention of scholars concerned with the history of science, the Cold War, and environmental history. The Arctic—recognized as a frontier of confrontation between the superpowers, and consequently central to the Cold War—has also attracted much attention. This edited collection speaks to this dual interest by providing innovative and authoritative analyses of the history of Arctic science during the Cold War.
Book Synopsis Clinical Pastoral Supervision and the Theology of Charles Gerkin by : Thomas St. James O’Connor
Download or read book Clinical Pastoral Supervision and the Theology of Charles Gerkin written by Thomas St. James O’Connor and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last twenty years, the number of texts written on clinical pastoral supervision has accelerated. Thomas St. James O’Connor analyzes these texts, nearly 300 of them, in light of three fundamental questions about the praxis of clinical pastoral supervision: (1)what is distinctive about the praxis? (2)what is an appropriate theological method for the praxis? and, (3)what is an adequate praxis? In doing so, he formulates three approaches: the social science, the hermeneutic and the special interest. Looking at the theology of Charles Gerkin, a pastoral theologian and family therapist, O’Connor develops a conversation between Gerkin’s theology and the texts. The theological methods in the three approaches are critiqued and Gerkin’s praxis/theory/praxis method is endorsed. Case examples are used throughout to illustrate theory and issues discussed and to aid in the presentation of an adequate praxis. Clinical Pastoral Supervision and the Theology of Charles Gerkin provides a unique overview of the history and current state of clinical pastoral supervision and an understanding of its methodology and theological foundations. More than that, it builds on the practical theory of Charles Gerkin, expanding it for immediate use in the practice of ministry.

Book Synopsis Faith, Politics, and Sexual Diversity in Canada and the United States by : David Rayside
Download or read book Faith, Politics, and Sexual Diversity in Canada and the United States written by David Rayside and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-03-07 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, agitation by lesbians, gays, and other sexual minorities for political recognition has provoked a heated response among religious activists, many of whom fear that moral decay is a necessary accompaniment to the public recognition of sexual diversity. For their part, queer rights groups worry about the policy ramifications of accommodating faith in the public sphere. This remarkable comparative study explores the interplay of sexual diversity and religious faith in the United States and Canada, and examines how interest group mobilization, political party ties to religious constituencies, court rulings, public policy, and debates over sexuality within faith communities have contributed to conflict and bridge-building in both countries. A timely discussion of faith, sexuality, and political conflict, Faith, Politics, and Sexual Diversity reveals that, despite the presence of tenacious anti-gay sentiment, religious adherence does not invariably entail opposition to the political recognition of queer rights.

Book Synopsis The Office of a Prophet by : Choice Nwachuku
Download or read book The Office of a Prophet written by Choice Nwachuku and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are there still prophets in the church today? Too many people in the body of Christ assume the prophet is no longer a functioning member of the five-fold ministry simply because the office was vacant for about 400 years of biblical history. Those who recognize that Jesus ushered in a new era of prophets still do not understand the functionality of this office. The Office of a Prophet brings to light the responsibilities, gifts, and privileges bestowed on those who occupy this office. It details the assignments, obedience, strengths, and weaknesses of prophets in the Old and New Testament, as well as lays emphasis on pitfalls to be avoided by those called to this office. Whether you're called to The Office of a Prophet or just doubt the legitimacy of this office, Choice Nwachuku will enlighten you on importance of the prophet in the proper functioning of the five-fold ministry and the need for it in this dispensation of the end times.

Book Synopsis Becoming the Pastor You Hope to Be by : Barbara J. Blodgett
Download or read book Becoming the Pastor You Hope to Be written by Barbara J. Blodgett and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2011-03-29 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming the Pastor You Hope to Be unapologetically urges clergy readers to develop practices that will help them become more excellent ministers. A long-time field educator, now serving as a denominational staff person responsible for ministerial formation, Barbara Blodgett believes excellence is a matter of doing simple things with care and consistency. Ministers who commit themselves to excellence will grow and flourish, and even become happier in ministry. Blodgett urges ministers to resist praise and instead to ask for feedback, to seek the company of mentors who are better than the reader is at what he or she does, to be vulnerable before their peers in order to learn from them, and to define themselves as a leader who does not merely take activist stances but risks entering into deep, transformative relationships. Improvement in ministry, Blodgett argues, comes about not through extraordinary leaps and bounds but rather through adoptingsimple habits and carrying through on small but thoughtfully made choices. Addressed to ministers, ecoming the Pastor You Hope to Be is also a valuable resource for discernment committees, Christian educators, leaders of continuing education and lay education programs, and all those who partner with theological schools to help form ministers, both lay and ordained.
