Volume 1, Number 1: From The Editor, Scot Headley

International Christian Community of Teacher Educators Journal

Colleagues, I am pleased that our team of authors, reviewers and editors have worked hard at getting this first issue of our journal into publication. It was just over a year ago that about 90 of us gathered at George Fox University in Newberg Oregon for the last CCTE conference. At our closing plenary session, there was a strong sense that we wanted to further the work that we have done together by building connections between conferences. This first issue of the ICCTE Journal is the result of a journey of exploration that began over ten years ago, and hopefully …

Learning From Each Other, Serving Together, Patricia L. Powell Jan 2005

Learning From Each Other, Serving Together, Patricia L. Powell

International Christian Community of Teacher Educators Journal

At Trinity Christian College we believe that incorporating service and scholarship into teaching is congruent with the transformational nature of Trinity’s mission. An Illinois Campus Compact funded service-learning project broadened Trinity students’ understanding of service-learning pedagogy as they planned, participated in and assisted students with disabilities in service-learning experiences. College students, high school teachers and high school students with disabilities had the opportunity to work, learn, and serve together.

Can Women Be Priests? Brief Notes Toward An Argument From The Ancient Hindu World, Laurie L. Patton Jan 2005

Can Women Be Priests? Brief Notes Toward An Argument From The Ancient Hindu World, Laurie L. Patton

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Can women be priests? If the word priest means ritually authoritative, the answer from the early Indian world is resolutely "yes." I want to begin by stating straightforwardly that in various periods of Indian history women have acted in ritually authoritative ways. And in my own experience of contemporary Maharashtra, while male priesthood might remain a cultural norm, one can find exceptions everywhere. While Vasudha Narayanan has written about most of these practices elsewhere on this issue, I would add that today in Maharashtra, women are training in large numbers to be ritual specialists, even purohits, because of the shortage …

Gender And Priesthood In The Hindu Traditions, Vasudha Narayanan Jan 2005

Gender And Priesthood In The Hindu Traditions, Vasudha Narayanan

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

In writing about Judaism, Norman Solomon has observed that the English language, which evolved in a very Christian atmosphere, is not value-neutral. Most scholars would agree that words are embedded in worldviews. To use a colloquial expression, they carry the "baggage" of social prejudices and articulate the perceptions on gender, race, religion, and age that have been part of popular culture at various time periods. It is not just that we project stereotypes on what we study, but we also use categories from our natal traditions to understand other cultures. At least initially we observe phenomena that our culture thinks …

Mimamsa And Eucharist: Starting-Points For Postmodern Hindu-Christian Comparative Theology Of Ritual, Michael T. Mclaughlin Jan 2005

Mimamsa And Eucharist: Starting-Points For Postmodern Hindu-Christian Comparative Theology Of Ritual, Michael T. Mclaughlin

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

My interest in the topic of Mimamsa and ritual comes from an involvement with the kind of comparative theology that Francis Clooney has been pursuing. I have tried to comment a bit on some of his books, and so it was natural to take a look at his early book, a rather technical one, called Thinking Ritually. Clooney has been concerned with reading strategies in interpretation, and I would say that my reading skill when it comes to Mimamsa and studies of it is very rudimentary. Mimamsa deals with the way grammatical constructions determine the meaning of ritual injunctions. …

Viewpoint: Joy And Sorrow, Swami Tyagananda Jan 2005

Viewpoint: Joy And Sorrow, Swami Tyagananda

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

The United Ministries at Harvard is an interfaith coalition of forty chaplains representing twenty-nine ministries; twenty-one of these are Christian from various denominations, two are Jewish, and there is one each from Hindu, Buddhist, Humanist, Islamic, and Zoroastrian traditions. It is a vibrant group and there is much collegiality among the chaplains. As the Hindu chaplain at Harvard, I deeply value not only the friendship that we share in the group but also the opportunities I get to meet and learn from authentic representatives of so many spiritual traditions.

Joseph Smith: Prophecy, Process, And Plentitude, Terryl Givens Jan 2005

Joseph Smith: Prophecy, Process, And Plentitude, Terryl Givens

English Faculty Publications

Joseph Smith was an explorer, a discoverer, and a revealer of past worlds. He described an ancient America replete with elaborate detail and daring specificity, rooted and grounded in what he claimed were concrete, palpable artifacts. He recuperated texts of Adam, Abraham, Enoch, and Moses to resurrect and reconstitute a series of past patriarchal ages, not as mere shadows and types of things to come, but as dispensations of gospel fullness equaling, and in some cases surpassing, present plenitude. And he revealed an infinitely receding premortal past—not of the largely mythic Platonic variety and not a mere Wordsworthian, sentimental intimation—but …
