Does Spiritual Care Really Help? A Study Of Patient’S Perceptions, Charlotte Stephenson, Kaye Wilson-Anderson

Faculty Publications - College of Nursing

Microwaves, drive-through windows, cell phones, e-mail, Internet high-ways- fast, faster, fastest. These gadgets reflect the world of the 21st century in which we live. Nursing, too, has moved with these changing cultural norms, becoming compressed and high speed. However, the essence of people, the clients we care for, has remained that of heart-felt needs and a thirst for spiritual peace. How do we as nurses meet the demands of today’s increased patient care loads, unending paperwork and longer hours, yet still meet our clients’ spiritual needs?

Scripture: Tool Of Patriarchy Or Resource For Transformation?, Sandra Marie Schneiders

Jesuit School of Theology

If feminism is a major resource for the transformation of humanity and history in the direction of wholeness and hope, it is also a serious challenge to organized religion and e specially to Christianity because it calls into question the traditional theology of God and of human beings. But beneath these theological questions lies an even more fundamental issue, namely the question of biblical revelation. Th equestion, in its starkest terms, is whether or not the Bible teaches the maleness of God and the inferiority of women. In other words, is patriarchy divinely revealed and therefore divinely sanctioned? It would …

Moving Beyond The Client Role: Helping Human Service Organizations Identify Program Participant’S Assets, Laura Nichols, Shannon Gleeson, Sandra Figueroa

Sociology

Human service agencies have traditionally provided services to a population considered "in need" of those services. Program participants are often seen solely as passive recipients of food, housing, health care, case management, etc. However, community developers, program evaluators, human service/development staff and administrators, as well as researchers are finding that involving program participants in the planning and administration of programs and research results in better programs, program utilization, and empowerment of program participants (Nichols 2002; Papineau and Kiely 1996).

Fifty Years Of Equality?, Sarah M. Stitzlein

Education

Fifty years after the Brown decision monumentally drew issues of equality to the fore, equality continues to occupy the theorizing of educational philosophers, the practice of teachers, and the decisions of judges. Within the past year, questions regarding race and schooling, including the intention to eliminate racial inequality, were raised once again in Grutter v Bollinger, the case of a disgruntled white law school applicant who suspected that she was denied admission based upon the criteria of race. In this article, I will trace the history of equality as a concept, a working goal, and an educational right over the …

Creating Space For Dialogue, David L. Coppola

SHU Faculty Publications

Judaism, Christianity and Islam teach that it is God’s will that all people live in peace with each other. Peace will be adequately advanced only when religious people and religious institutions are integral to the processes of social justice in every part of the globe. It is religion that can help to reach into the depths of humanity’s struggles and the heights of human accomplishments to salve such injuries. Unfortunately, dialogue for the sake of building mutual respect, understanding and ultimately, peaceful coexistence seems more difficult than ever, in part due to the resistance and obstruction by some who claim …

Indirect Mobilization: The Social Consequences Of Party Contacts In An Election Campaign, Scott D. Mcclurg

Publications

Although direct contacts between campaigns and individuals are a central part of the process that encourages political participation, it is often argued that their effects extend beyond the initial contact via a secondary process of indirect mobilization. This paper puts that argument to the test by investigating possible connections between direct party contacts and political mobilization in social networks. The results show that the primary social consequence of party contacts is to alter the substance, but not the volume, of politically oriented conversations that occur in social networks. These conversations in turn increase the salience of the campaign in the …
