A Christian Feminist Speaks Out On The Drone War In Pakistan, Melanie Springer Mock Jan 2012

A Christian Feminist Speaks Out On The Drone War In Pakistan, Melanie Springer Mock

Faculty Publications - Department of English

Excerpt: "On a warm morning recently, as I was backing the car out of the garage, I saw my eldest son standing on our porch, still in his pajamas and bare feet, looking mournfully at me. I stopped the car and asked what he wanted. “To give you a hug,” he said. I parked the car, got out, and picked up my growing kid, holding him for a moment as I might an infant, his long legs wrapped around me. Right then, nothing felt sweeter."

In Search Of A Contextual Pastoral Theology For Dalits In India, Johnson Petta Jan 2012

In Search Of A Contextual Pastoral Theology For Dalits In India, Johnson Petta

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Current approaches to the ministry of pastoral care and counseling in the South Indian context lack a serious grasp of the critical needs of survival, liberation and cultural identity of the Dalit Christian communities. Prevailing models of care that are individualistic and based on clerical hierarchy have failed to give adequate attention to the systemic, cultural and psychological dimensions of the contextual needs of the Dalit Christians and foster a shared understanding of their problems. The theological and cultural sources that inform the pastoral care practices are not indigenous to their context and therefore fail to provide a critical and …


Evaluating Violence And (Non)Violence: A Critical, Practical Theology Of Social Change, Julie Marie Todd Jan 2012

Evaluating Violence And (Non)Violence: A Critical, Practical Theology Of Social Change, Julie Marie Todd

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation uses a practical theological approach to evaluate Christian (non)violence in light of interviews with twelve scholars and activists in the United States about the means of social change and the relationship of those means to social location. Social location conditions an understanding of what violence is and how different groups justify and respond to various uses of violence and (non)violence within society and for social change. The project sets Christian (non)violent practice within the context of direct, structural and cultural violence, and implicates Christian tradition, theology and practice in each level of violence. The qualitative data exposes the …
