Katharine Drexel: Learning To Love The Poor, Cecilia Murray

Journal of Catholic Education

Although born into privilege, Katharine Drexel was blessed with parents, siblings, friends, and spiritual guides who kept her rooted in a deep, Eucharistic faith. Responding to the needs of the poor was a responsibility of the rich, and Katharine learned this value at the hands of her parents at an early age. With the good counsel of popes and bishops, family and friends, she ultimately used her great family wealth to provide education for the poor.

Rethinking The Iraq War, Brian Stiltner

Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies Faculty Publications

The reasonable possibility of the situation getting worse [in Iraq] rather than better should have given humanitarian advocates for war, like myself, greater pause. For me at that time, this humanitarian motive bolstered what was weak in the weapons argument, and vice versa. But now I realize that a partial case for war because of the weapons risk and a partial case for war under humanitarian reasons don't add up to an air-tight case for just war. Each of the causes proffered has to be reasonable with little doubt-something like 90 to 95 percent certain-and they can't be undermined by …

安寧護理人員的靈性照顧認知－以中部某醫學中心安寧病房為例之研究, 利中 張, 萱萁 王, 郁分 陳

Journal of Medical Education

本研究之目的為透過有靈性照顧實際經驗之安寧護理人員的眼光，來檢視其對於靈性照顧的認知，以作為運思本土化教育與實施之參考。研究發現受訪者以「天、人、物、我」及「身、心、宗教信仰」的架構來看待靈性照顧。在工作方法上則是以身體照護與接觸來作為起點。以心理上的同理、傾聽、關愛與尊重來提升愛與希望的感受；透過引介宗教信仰，來增強病人超越性的信念。進階工作為應用生命回顧來與臨終者一起探尋其生命的意義，來看見與認識病人。最後則是與病人的「共在」，放下「一定要做些什麼」的心態與壓力，與病人一起向生命的臨終學習。「共在」的過程與經驗使得護理人員得以對內關照自己的靈性狀態，也提升了個人對於靈性照顧的認知與體驗。

Intelligent Design And Evolutionary Theory: Legal Battles And Classroom Relevance For School Leadership, Larry R. Plank

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Evolutionary theory in the scientific curricula of public education has been scrutinized by religious societies for the better part of a century around the globe. Although Darwin’s explanation of the mechanism of evolution—the process of natural selection—is widely accepted by scientists in the United States and other industrialized nations, the U.S. has lagged behind these other countries in accepting evolutionary theory in public school curricula. The debate of what to include in textbooks and classroom lessons is one of America’s most controversial issues. The creationist worldview of life’s origins has been incorporated into science curriculum as a direct challenge to …

Lincoln, The Constitution Of Necessity, And The Necessity Of Constitutions, Michael Kent Curtis

ExpressO

Some invoke the legacy of Abraham Lincoln to justify largely unchecked executive power which in times of war trumps constitutional limits and guarantees of liberty. This article suggests that the Lincoln model is a poor one to follow: because some of his actions were inconsitent with democratic government, because the administration invoked the doctrine of necessity when many of the cabinet thought no necessity existed, and because in the end, Lincoln himself refused to follow his logic to its inevitable conclusion. It critiques two article by Michael Paulsen invoking Lincoln to justify largely unchecked executive power.

Terrorism And College Students: A Generation's Response To September 11, 2001, Robert Mason Wild

Dissertations

The terrorist attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001 marked a significant cultural turning point for Americans. The tragic destruction of the World Trade Towers , the damage to the Pentagon and the loss of thousands of civilian lives brought an end to the optimism and feelings of security and invulnerability that marked the decade of the 1990s. Students who were enrolled in college at the time of the attacks were affected as well. This qualitative study examines the emotions and attitudes of 50 students enrolled a mid-sized, private research institution on September 11, 2001. The study explores …

The First Constitution: Rethinking The Origins Of Rule Of Law And Separation Of Powers In Light Of Deuteronomy, Bernard M. Levinson

Cardozo Law Review

This Article demonstrates the overlooked contribution of the ancient Near East to the development of constitutional law. The legal corpus of Deuteronomy provides a utopian model for the organization of the state, one that enshrines separation of powers and their systematic subordination to a public legal text - the "Torah" - that delineates their jurisdiction while also ensuring their autonomy. This legislation establishes an independent judiciary while bringing even the monarch under the full authority of the law. Deuteronomy's implicit model for a political constitution is unprecedented in legal history. Two of its cornerstones are fundamental to the modern idea …
