Worldview: The Missing Dimension Of Evangelism In Post-Communist Society, Sergei Golovin
Worldview: The Missing Dimension Of Evangelism In Post-Communist Society, Sergei Golovin
Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe
For a while Christians considered the Soviet Union to be a great potential mission field; nevertheless when the door for missions opened wide, it happened unexpectedly. Despite thousands of missionaries and millions of dollars invested immediately in spreading the gospel in the post-communist world, after a short-term tide, church growth declined back to pre-perestroika level. The research made during that period demonstrated that the so-called awakening had nothing to do with the biblical concept of repentance (i.e. a radical change of a person’s worldview). An explanatory model of the worldview transformation dynamics in post-communist society is developed as an attempt …

La Dimension Cachée De L’Art Sénégalais Contemporain, Allen F. Roberts, Mary Nooter Roberts
La Dimension Cachée De L’Art Sénégalais Contemporain, Allen F. Roberts, Mary Nooter Roberts
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
For nearly fifty years now, Dakar has been an epicenter of contemporary art, not just for continental Africa but for the entire world. Senegalese artists are well known internationally through participation in biennials, exhibitions, and gallery shows ; and many argue that they are contemporary artists from Senegal rather than “Senegalese artists” defined or constrained by their african identity. Among these, however, some match the global techniques and aesthetics of their works with local meanings derived from mystical Islam. Indeed, this “hidden side” can be very significant to the artists themselves even though it may be ignored by cosmopolitan connoisseurs.

Slovak Churches And Education After The Fall Of Communism, Dana Hanesova
Slovak Churches And Education After The Fall Of Communism, Dana Hanesova
Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe
The author of the study focuses on the complexity of the education provided by churches in Slovakia. At first, she analyses the most important factors that have been influencing the present situation in this area (the historical, legal and educational background as well as the religious structure of the population). Then she presents the main residuals from the past that need to be sorted out with the help of the churches, including the progressive education of the younger generation. Some statistical information about church schools in Slovakia is provided. Special attention is paid to the evangelical churches and their Department …
The Response Of The New Testament Church To Material Needs And Materialism, Pavel Hanes
The Response Of The New Testament Church To Material Needs And Materialism, Pavel Hanes
Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe
The New Testament church responded to materialism both in philosophical and ethical ways, stressing the spiritual side of poverty or wealth. The answer she was giving to this problem was based on the Old Testament approach to the poor who were not only poor in property but were also poor before the Lord (i.e. humble, godly and obedient). In modern times it is important to reiterate this message because the modern church tends to be preoccupied with the material side of the problem while the core of the problem is spiritual.
“Has not God chosen those who are poor in …

Meditation, Christian Values And Psychotherapy, Kristin L. Hansen, Dianne Nielsen, Mitchell Harris
Meditation, Christian Values And Psychotherapy, Kristin L. Hansen, Dianne Nielsen, Mitchell Harris
Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy
In recent decades meditation has been studied in the psychotherapy literature and incorporated into psychotherapy treatments (see Walsh & Shapiro, 2006, for review). As therapists who find meditation compatible with our Christian-based treatment approach, we have struggled to describe the integration of meditation and psychotherapy. In this article we first describe what meditation is, then consider its mechanisms of change, use in therapy or as a complement to therapy, and utility for therapists. The authors believe, consistent with Richards and Bergin’s (1997) view, that meditation is a spiritual intervention that can be used in theistically framed therapy. Ongoing research continues …

Tensions In Poland Over Ecumenical Dialogue, Krystyna Gorniak-Kocikowska
Tensions In Poland Over Ecumenical Dialogue, Krystyna Gorniak-Kocikowska
Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe
"If I would use the phrase, ‘the specter of secularization is haunting Poland right now,’ that would be probably a good description of the present mindset of great number of people in Poland. The presently existing tensions are not, I think, inter-religious or inter-church tensions. The inter-religious tensions are marginal due to the dominant position of the Roman Catholic Church on the national level.
The potentially tension-building problem is the issue of secularization. Because the Roman Catholic Church was very strong in Poland even in the times of Communism, secularization was not perceived then as a serious danger, unless people …

Desecularization Of Contemporary Serbian Society, Mirko Blagojevic
Desecularization Of Contemporary Serbian Society, Mirko Blagojevic
Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe
For the contemporary Serbian sociology of religion it is evident that the process of desecularization has been present on the social scene of Serbia in the last fifteen years. Sociologists have provided arguments for this claim based on data gathered in Serbia during this period. The religious changes in question have been empirically recorded in all aspects of attachment to religion (mainly Eastern Orthodoxy) and the church (Serbian Orthodox Church), that is, in aspects of religious identification, doctrinal beliefs and religious behavior. Certain political subjects and social scientists feel that social life in Serbia is getting increasingly religious, and that …

Brief History Of Transpersonal Psychology, Stanislav Grof
Brief History Of Transpersonal Psychology, Stanislav Grof
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
The International Transpersonal Association (ITA) was formed in 1978 for the purposes
of promoting education and research in transpersonal subjects, as well as sponsoring
global conferences for the international transpersonal community. The association was
subsequently dissolved in 2004, but is now in the process of being reactivated and revitalized.
As background for this development, this paper reviews the history of ITA including its
international conferences and noteworthy presenters, the organization’s definition, strategies,
and specific goals, and details of its contemporary revival.
