The Suicidal Person And Pastoral Care, Donald Wunrow

Master of Divinity Thesis

This paper comprises an examination of the problem of suicide, particularly the dynamics operative in the potentially suicidal individual, and the dynamics operative in a pastoral approach to suicide prevention. Attention will be given to the recognition of presuicidal behavior and to the role which the pastor assumes to prevent the individual from acting out his self-destructive communication.

Vatican Council Ii Addresses Protestantism, Carl S. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Second Vatican Council made no overt bid to all Christians to return to Rome. It did not condemn those outside the Roman Church. Instead, the Council spoke kindly to those who are not under the jurisdiction of the Pope. The pronouncements of the Council about nonRoman-Catholics are earnest and deserve serious attention. Although they are not addressed directly to Protestantism, they speak about Protestantism and in that sense they may be regarded as being addressed also to Protestants.

From its earliest days LHRAA has wanted to "help the church fill the role of leadership in the field of human relations assigned to her by her Lord." Specific care was taken not to isolate that ministry to problems in Negro-white relations. Accordingly we have, through the years, addressed ourselves to areas involving the Indian American, Appalachian whites, Puerto Ricans, migrant workers, victims of poverty, and others.

Some forty-five professional church workers visited Holy Family Lutheran Church (ALC) last summer to hear Pastor Fred Downing speak of his ministry there. Describing his heavily populated north side Chicago neighborhood, he told of the tensions that might rupture into riot at any moment. He alluded to manifest resentment and hostility by black towards white. He spoke of increased evidence of "soul brother" signs in the windows of small Negro-owned businesses.

The Lutheran Human Relations Association of Chicago has prepared a set of fifteen theses urging human relations reforms within the Church in celebration of the 450th anniversary of the Reformation Nov. 5.

The theses address themselves largely to the problems the church of 1967 faces in ministering faithfully for its Lord. Their concern is subsumed under the theses' title, "Reform is the Proper Celebration of Reformation."

After Pastor Joseph Lavelais of Philadelphia had conducted opening devotions at the Conference on Church and Social Change at Chicago's Concord-O'Hare Inn, Chairman Wiederaenders presented for adoption an agenda which had been mailed to participants prior to the meeting.

A motion from the floor was adopted by a large majority that the printed agenda be set aside. Voices from the floor indicated an eagerness to discuss the church's commitment and participation in filling a meaningful role in the social problems of the day as they impinge upon the church and the communities it serves.

Cleveland's Lutheran Pastors have set in motion a project aimed at finding a more effective way of ministering to that city's intense human relations problems. The scene of one of last year's worst riots, Cleveland has relatively little to show for changing the conditions that provided the setting for last summer's outbursts.

An LHRAA statement on racial tension was distributed to worshippers attending a Mission Fair at Proviso East High School in Maywood, Illinois, Sunday, October 1.

Held only a few days after riots raged in the streets of the west Chicago suburb, the Fair provided an opportunity for LHRAA's West Suburban Chapter to interpret the meaning of Christ's mission to Christians in the riot-torn area.

Factors In The Acceptance And Adoption Of Family Home Evening In The Lds Church: A Study Of Planned Change, Robert Ernest Larson

Theses and Dissertations

In an effort to cope with forces which would remove the home from its place of influence, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recently inaugurated the Family Home Evening Program. Emerging out of a fifty year history of efforts to institute the home evening practice, it is one of the most systematic and comprehensive efforts to date to implement change within the structure of its member families.

Such a deliberate and predetermined effort toward improving the family system constitutes what applied social scientists call "planned change." Home evening, when adopted, has many of the elements of a behavior …

The Christian And Social Responsibility, Robert J. Werberig

Concordia Theological Monthly

What is the Christian's role in the many-faceted, restless, and paradoxical society of the 60s? Should his function as a Christian citizen include more than merely "holding a private opinion" on the issues of our times? Does his commitment to Christ imply something more than "contributing to welfare" in face of the fact that over two-thirds of his generation lives out life under starvation conditions? Is there a valid place for the voice and action of Christianity within the vortex of change, which today upsets whole cultures, often with crushing and dehumanizing effects to people?

Six Dimensions Of Religiosity And Riesman's Inner/Other-Direction, Edward E. Mckenna

Masters Theses

First three paragraphs:

To what extent do different types of religious behavior vary with different levels of inner- and other-direction?

Religious behavior is multi-dimensional in nature, with several qualitatively distinct dimensions. Hypothesized relations between different dimensions of religious behavior and inner/other-direction, together with the assumed shift from inner-direction to other-direction, have been formulated to explain the now familiar, but nevertheless controversial, religious revival in American society. This revival is controversial in the sense that it extends only to certain types, or dimensions, of religious behavior. There have been increases in church membership, identification, and ritual observance, but not in other …

Christ And The Newly Matured World, Carl Petering

Bachelor of Divinity

The quest of the present paper, therefore, is a dissection of the statements about Christ which are made by those for whom the world has come of age. How does one address himself to an audience which may have jettisoned the trappings of transcendentalism? Is there another means of expressing the message, or must the message itself be changed?

The investigation will begin with Bonhoeffer, for he has coined the phrase, "the world come of age," and he has raised the questions for which others are attempting to provide the answers. The theology of Bishop John A. T. Robinson has …

The Adolescent And The Inner-City, Edwin Rehrauer

Master of Divinity Thesis

The subject to be investigated in this paper is that of the inner-city adolescent, with special reference to the problem of delinquent behavior.

The aim of this paper is to see what are the special problems of the adolescents as they grow up within the inner-city environment. Although the role of the church is considered, the major topics examined in the paper are the inner-city and adolescents.

Towards An Understanding Of And Pastoral Approach To The Potential Suicide, Allan Bruck

Bachelor of Divinity

That suicide is such a destructive force in the lives of men is reason enough to undertake a serious study of this problem. For the pastor, however, there is a more impelling reason for such study: in his pastoral ministry, the clergyman will be confronted by the potential suicide and will be forced to influence his course of action, either for the better or for the worse. This paper would serve as an introduction to the problem of suicide, and, hopefully; as a motivation for further pastoral study.

Μὴ ΔιακρίΝων Τ̀Ο Σω̑Υα (Mē Diakrinōn To Sōma (Romanized Form), David Joesting

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is to explore the meaning of Paul's expression μὴ διακρίνων τ̀ο σω̑υα in 1 Cor.11:29. The basic task is exegetical, but the concern which promted the research is the pragmatic concern of meaning in use. This paper will, therefore, begin with a careful study to determine, as best as is possible, what Paul meant when he wrote the words in question. It will conclude with an analysis and evaluation of past and present application of 1 Cor. 11:29 and its context.

The Marxist Concept Of Man: A Christian's Critique, Edward Trost

Master of Divinity Thesis

Many problems facing the contemporary church stem from its past and present attempts to dichotomize man. Having split man's person into body and soul, material and spiritual, the church then demands allegiance to "either-or." The decision belongs to man. Either he flees the world and its possessions, or the world and its pleasures possess him. Today, more than ever before, churchmen realize that this decision is not so clearly drawn. Just as he is not exclusively material (the Marxist heresy), so man is not solely spirit (Christianity's overstatement). No longer can categories be labeled so neatly: religious and secular. Never …

The Church's Approach To Death And The Funeral, William Matzat

Master of Divinity Thesis

This paper, therefore, will attempt to point out the approach which the church should take regarding the various cultural practices prevalent in the American funeral rite. After a brief historical perspective, it will examine the theological concepts of the body, death and the resurrection, and the psychological concepts of grief and mourning. With this as a basis for analysis, some of the cultural practices of the American funeral rite will be considered.
