In 1738, English preacher, Isaac Watts wrote 'The world to come', a Christian tract about departed souls, death, and the glory or terror of the resurrection. Almost 300 years later the world to come still fascinates readers. It's not only climate change, it's the climate of everything: from technological 'advances' that threaten to create an immortal humanity; to an endless 'war on terror, ' which means that, though we may never know war, nor will we ever truly know peace; to a thousand visions of post-Apocalyptic life in the media. The world to come is everywhere; it is with us now... In this anthology, twenty-one writers respond to the world to come - the one just around the corner, the hereafter and the everywhen. - See more at: http: //shortaustralianstories.com.au/products-page/anthologies-3/the-world-to-come/#sthash.iu03HnA6.dpuf A truly international collection of 21 stories, traversing genres, about the future to come In selecting these stories from a global call-out, the editors looked for pieces that contemplated "the world to come" in ways that, regardless of genre, surprised, delighted, enthralled, or horrified. Science fiction mixes with fantasy, with realism in all its sub-genres, with speculative fiction, with the almost unclassifiable. Readers will be shocked and stirred by this collection that brings together truly disparate voices across nationality, gender, class, and race.
The Chaplain Corps in the Army has served through all the major wars that the United States has fought. Their purpose has been to give balance to the command and at the same time ensure that the morale of the Soldier, his family and unit are spiritually and emotionally well. The current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, with the other prevailing social and economic conditions in the society have contributed to increased stress and subsequent depression among Soldiers. This spiral has led to an unprecedented amount of suicide cases. The Army has implemented a number of prevention programs aimed at saving lives and reducing the impact of self--harming behaviors. The chaplain remains the primary unhindered referral source to deal with these issues, and they work with community health professionals and social workers to halt this situation. This paper examines how they work, and makes a determination as to what activities can be further enhanced to improve the work of chaplains in suicide prevention.
