This collection of short essays, sermons, lectures, reviews,
analyses, and poems is offered as a means to provoke thought,
inspire imagination, and encourage conversation about the future of
the church. Church renewal awaits a renewed synergy of theology,
homily, and energy. Together, thought, word, and deed offer us much
as we face an unforeseen future. There is much for which to be
thankful, and much to be excited about as the church moves forward
into the twenty-first century. A healthy future of stimulated
learning, excellent leadership, and lay ministry_thought, word, and
deed _may be coming toward us.
This little collection of occasional pieces is offered as a set of
discussion openers ('ice-breakers') for those who are preparing for
ministry in the Northeast. The intended audience for this selection
of provocations would begin with first and second year seminarians.
Candidates for ministry and those considering ministry later in
life might find some comfort here, too. In addition, one might hope
that those who have weathered a few winters in the pulpit could
find some catalytic inspiration here.
This important resource offers theoretical and practical approaches
to understanding and working with cultural realities in training
and supervision, particularly in family therapy. Clinical wisdom,
empirical findings, real-world examples, and hands-on suggestions
demonstrate the vital role of building and sustaining cultural
awareness, both in supervisory work with trainees and in therapists
providing fair, effective, and relevant services to clients. In the
book's multiple perspectives on the complexities of cultural
identity, the attainment of cultural safety is shown as an ongoing
process, part of professional development as well as self-knowledge
across the lifespan. Critical distinctions are also drawn between
cultural safety and relatively static concepts within
cross-cultural competencies. Included in the coverage: A framework
for integrating an understanding of oppression dynamics in clinical
work and supervision. Expanding conversations about cultural
responsiveness in supervision. When dominant culture values meet
diverse clinical settings: perspectives from an African American
supervisor. Safety and social justice in the supervisory
relationship. Towards safe and equitable relationships:
sociocultural attunement in supervision. Comprehensive
multicultural curriculum: self-awareness as process. Developing
cultural awareness and sensitivity through simulation. Creating
Cultural Safety in Couple and Family Therapy will enhance the work
of social workers, mental health professionals, and practitioners
working family therapy cases seeking perspectives on addressing
diverse multicultural realities as they intersect with clinical
supervision and training.
Nominated as an outstanding thesis by the Department of Physics and
Astronomy of the University of New Mexico, this thesis seeks to
identify the gamma-ray burst (GRB) progenitor. GRBs are
extragalactic explosions that briefly outshine entire galaxies, but
the mechanism that can release that much energy over a < 100
second burst is still a mystery. The leading candidate for the GRB
progenitor is currently a massive star which collapses to form a
black hole-accretion disk system that powers the GRB. GRB
afterglows, however, do not always show the expected behavior of a
relativistic blast wave interacting with the stellar wind that such
a progenitor should have produced before its collapse. In this
book, the author uses the Zeus-MP astrophysical hydrodynamics code
to model the environment around a stellar progenitor prior to the
burst. He then develops a new semi-analytic MHD and emission model
to produce light curves for GRBs encountering these realistic
density profiles. The work ultimately shows that the circumburst
medium surrounding a GRB at the time of the explosion is much more
complex than a pure wind, and that observed afterglows are entirely
consistent with a large subset of proposed stellar progenitors.
