This book considers how the law should manage conflicts between the
right of religious freedom and that of non-discrimination on the
grounds of sexual orientation. These disputes are often
high-profile and frequently receive a lot of media attention and
public debate. Starting from the basis that both these rights are
valuable and worthy of protection, but that such disputes are often
characterised by animosity, it contends that a proportionality
analysis provides the best method for resolving these conflicts.
The work takes a comparative approach, examining the law in England
and Wales, Canada, and the USA and examines four main areas of law,
considering how a proportionality approach could be used in each.
The book will be an invaluable resource for students and
researchers in the areas of Public Law, Human Rights Law, Law and
Religion, Discrimination Law, and Comparative Law.

James Bishop was convicted and sent to prison for serious offences.
With plenty of time on his hands, he rediscovered profound and
effective techniques for meditation, through the help of the World
Community for Christian Meditation, which does much prison work
around the world. He then turned to the Rule of St Benedict and
found in it a model and pattern of living which gave him balance
and stability and helped to cure his own emotional disorders. This
book is aimed at all those who are imprisoned in the modern world -
not just prison inmates but all those battling with personal,
emotional and psychological difficulties.

"For years we have touted that children are resilient. Now we
are finding that adult children of divorce were not so resilient
after all. Many struggle with heavy issues that have been carried
over into their adult lives. From exploring the chain of grief that
has held adult children of divorce bound to their childhoods to
healing through Jesus Christ, Robyn has done a phenomenal job of
helping adult children of divorce release the links in their chain
that have held them captive for years." - Linda Ranson Jacobs,
Creator and Developer of DivorceCare for Kids
"Chained No More will help you break free and find healing for
the hurt you've experienced. If you are the adult child of divorced
parents, dive into this material, and with God's help, find hope
for the future while building a foundation for successful
relationships in your life." - Steve Grissom, Founder of

A new perspective on religions and the environment emerges from
this collection. The authors, a diverse group of indigenous and
non-native scholars and environmental activists, address compelling
and urgent questions facing indigenous communities as they struggle
with threats to their own sovereignty, increased market and media
globalization, and the conservation of endangered bioregions.
Drawing attention to the pressures threatening indigenous
peoples and ways of life, this volume describes modes of resistance
and regeneration by which communities maintain a spiritual balance
with larger cosmological forces while creatively accommodating
current environmental, social, economic, and political changes.
This intensive case study derives lessons for negotiation theory,
research, and practice from the Waco disaster. The siege at Waco
simply refuses to disappear. Recently uncovered evidence, an
ongoing civil suit, and the Danforth investigation fuel public
interest and controversy. Heated debates about ""what really
happened in Waco"" are a recurring public drama. Yet, little or no
attention has been given to the work of the negotiator who talked
with the Branch Davidians. This important book utilizes largely
unexplored sources of data to explain why fifty-one days of
negotiations by federal officials failed to get Branch Davidians to
exit the compound, as desired. Learning Lessons from Waco applies a
theory of worldview conflict to the more than 12,000 pages of
negotiation transcripts from Waco. Through perceptive analysis of
the situation, Jayne Seminare Docherty offers a fresh perspective
on the activities of law enforcement agents. She shows how the Waco
conflict resulted from a collision of two distinct worldviews - the
FBI's and the Davidians' - and their divergent notions of reality.
By exploring the failures of the negotiations, she also urges a
better understanding of encounters between rising religious
movements and dominant social institutions. Finally, the resulting
model is applicable to other conflict resolution processes such as
mediation and facilitated problem solving.

Proven, Healing Ways to Speak the Truth in Love
Now in a fresh package, this classic on learning the art of true
communication is good news for all. The author uses Scripture, case
histories, and dialogue to impart timeless principles that can heal
damaged relationships, strengthen everyday communication, and help
people avoid the traps of manipulation that often disrupt the free
flow of honest discussion. Readers will find this information
invaluable in every relationship of life--especially those that
don't come easy.
Irreconcilable differences drive the division between progressive
and conservative Christians-is there a divorce coming? Much
attention has been paid to political polarization in America, but
far less to the growing schism between progressive and conservative
Christians. In this groundbreaking new book, George Yancey and
Ashlee Quosigk offer the provocative contention that progressive
and conservative Christianities have diverged so much in their core
values that they ought to be thought of as two separate religions.
The authors draw on both quantitative data and interviews to
uncover how progressive and conservative Christians determine with
whom they align themselves religiously, and how they distinguish
themselves from each other. They find that progressive Christians
emphasize political agreement relating to social justice issues as
they determine who is part of their in-group, and focus less on
theological agreement. Among conservative Christians, on the other
hand, the major concern is whether one agrees with them on core
theological points. Progressive and conservative Christians thus
use entirely different factors in determining their social identity
and moral values. In a time when religion and politics have never
seemed so intertwined, One Faith No Longer offers a timely and
compelling reframing of an age-old conflict.
Created to counteract the spiritual imbalance that MI can cause,
the Moral Injury Reconciliation (MIR) methodology is a 9-week,
3-phased spiritual care treatment, for Veteran and family
transformation. This book presents this methodology as a
trans-diagnostic approach for practitioners working with clients
with MI, PTSD, grief and military sexual trauma. Using the language
of reconciliation and spiritual transformation in the context of
working therapeutically with Veterans, the author shows how
chaplains and others involved in spiritual care can work on the
assessment and therapy of those who have experienced MI during
their combat experience. It reconciles past trauma, creates a
focused 'here-and-now' present and anticipates a hopeful future
through spiritual awareness, communication skills and altruism.
