Riding Waves Of Liturgical Change, Vaughan S. Roberts Aug 2005

Riding Waves Of Liturgical Change, Vaughan S. Roberts

Vaughan S Roberts

Following publication of ‘Water as an implicit metaphor for organizational change within the Church’ (2002), I was asked to present those ideas at a conference on ministerial leadership and then invited the following year to offer thoughts about the implications of this approach for practical church ministry. These further reflections were published as this chapter in 'How to be a Creative Church Leader'.

“Double Or Phantom?: Transgenerational Haunting In Mary Shelley’S Frankenstein”, Boyd J. Petersen Aug 2005

“Double Or Phantom?: Transgenerational Haunting In Mary Shelley’S Frankenstein”, Boyd J. Petersen

Boyd J Petersen

The psychoanalitical theories of Nicholas Abraham and Maria Torok offer a new interpretive lens through which to consider Frankenstein's monster: as a psychic manifestation of trauma--both that which Victor Frankenstein has inherited from his parents and that which the text inherited from its parent, Mary Shelley.

The Prudent Village: Risk Pooling Institutions In Medieval English Agriculture, Gary Richardson May 2005

The Prudent Village: Risk Pooling Institutions In Medieval English Agriculture, Gary Richardson

Gary Richardson

The prudent peasant mitigated the risk of crop failures by scattering his arable land throughout his village, Deirdre McCloskey argued, because alternative risksharing institutions did not exist. But, alternatives did exist, this essay concludes. Medieval English peasants formed two types of farmers’ cooperatives. Fraternities protected members from the perils of everyday life. Customary poor laws redistributed resources towards villagers beset by bad luck. In both institutions, the expectation of reciprocation motivated farmers with surpluses to aid neighbors with shortages.


Christianity And Craft Guilds In Late Medieval England: A Rational Choice Analysis, Gary Richardson Apr 2005

Christianity And Craft Guilds In Late Medieval England: A Rational Choice Analysis, Gary Richardson

Gary Richardson

In late-medieval England, craft guilds simultaneously pursued piety and profit. Why did guilds pursue those seemingly unrelated goals? What were the consequences of that combination? Theories of organizational behavior answer those questions. Craft guilds combined spiritual and occupational endeavors because the former facilitated the success of the latter and vice versa. The reciprocal nature of this relationship linked the ability of guilds to attain spiritual and occupational goals. This link between religion and economics at the local level connected religious and economic trends in the wider world.

Practicing The Order Of Widows: A New Call For An Old Vocation, M. Therese Lysaught Mar 2005

Practicing The Order Of Widows: A New Call For An Old Vocation, M. Therese Lysaught

M. Therese Lysaught

This essay argues for a renewed institution of an ancient Christian practice, the Order of Widows. Drawing on the Roman Catholic tradition's recent writings on the elderly, particularly the 1998 document from the Pontifical Council for the Laity entitled “The Dignity of Older People and their Mission in the Church and in the World,” I argue that we find within the Roman Catholic tradition advocacy for a renewed understanding of the vocation of the elderly within the Church. Building on this, I then trace in the broadest of outlines some elements of what a renewal of the Order of Widows …

Sex Selection & Pre Birth Elimination Of Girl Child, Professor Vibhuti Patel Mar 2005

Sex Selection & Pre Birth Elimination Of Girl Child, Professor Vibhuti Patel

Professor Vibhuti Patel

Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques Act was enacted in 1994 as a result of pressure created by Forum Against Sex-determination and Sex –preselection. But it was not implemented. After another decade of campaigning by women’s rights organisations and public interest litigation filed by CEHAT, MASUM and Dr. Sabu George, The Pre-natal Diagnostics Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) Amendment Act, 2002 received the assent of the President of India on 17-1-2003. The Act provides “for the prohibition of sex selection, before or after conception, and for regulation of pre-natal diagnostic techniques for the purposes of detecting genetic abnormalities or metabolic disorders or …

The Mystical Body Of Christ And Communion Ecclesiology: Historical Parallels, Edward Hahnenberg Dec 2004

The Mystical Body Of Christ And Communion Ecclesiology: Historical Parallels, Edward Hahnenberg

Edward P Hahnenberg

Recognizing that the Church cannot be encompassed by a single and eternal ecclesiology, and that there are stages in the development of the Church's self-understanding, the author examines the history and development of two of the dominant twentieth century models : the earlier Mystical Body ecclesiologies, and the post-conciliar Communion/ Koinonia models. They contain interesting parallels, one of which is the risk of ignoring the concrete Church — the mystery manifested in history. What ecclesiological models may next rise to dominance?
