▼ A growth in popularity of Christian counselling (Buri 1990; Garzon, Worthington et al. 2009; McMinn 2010) and use of Christian spirituality in psychology (Richards 2010) highlights the need for more research exploring the effectiveness of Christian counselling (Pargament 1999; Koenig 2007; Pargament 2007; Rice 2009; Richards 2010). In order to explore the unique role of Christian spirituality and how it impacts on mental health, a grounded theory approach has been used to research how counsellor-client relationships, counselling methodology and faith in a supernatural God have influenced Christian counselling outcomes and client satisfaction.
Clients and counsellors were categorised according to their counselling methodology: pastoral care, Christian psychology, Christian (prayer) Ministry, and Biblical counselling – all categories suggested by McMinn et al (2010). A fifth category combining Christian psychology and prayer ministry was added as this was prevalent amongst the participant responses received.
Themes around the influence of love and authority in impacting mental health and of healing by the Holy Spirit emerged from participant comments. Client participants indicated that they trusted Christian counsellors more than secular counsellors, partly because they both held the same Christian world view and also because they believed the counsellor considered the will of God within the sessions. Counsellor participants demonstrated that they use both secular and spiritual therapies.
A hierarchical organizational chart inspired by Attride-Stirling’s (2001) networking approach, unraveled a thematic pathway to sustained mental and emotional health. This pathway began with clients first having their immediate needs met and experiencing Christian love from their counsellor. They began to feel they have value to God and to realise that God loves them. As this belief is appropriated in their lives they increasingly were able to overcome their mental and emotional problems and came to seek out truth from the Bible and to submit to its teachings in a gradual process called sanctification.
An hypothesis has emerged from the ordering of these themes that suggests: “Spirituality as used in Christian counselling supports sustained improvement in mental and emotional health.”

▼ M.Th.
There is still great uncertainty about the role of healing in proclaiming the Gospel and in church building and development. For many Christian denominations this is still a contentious and controversial subject. Especially the differences in the theories on healing and the way in which these theories should be applied, cause many problems to come to the fore in obvious and unsettling ways. In the past few Pentecostal theologians have tried to make contributions that help to identify and solve these problems. By doing this study from a Pentecostal viewpoint, the student is hoping to aid the church in developing a theory and praxis for the healing ministry that is based on Scripture. This study is unique in the sense that it approaches the issue from the standpoint that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are an absolute necessity in developing a Scriptually sound theory and praxis for the healing ministry. It was therefore necessary first to stress the important role of the gifts of the Spirit in the ministry of Christ and the New Testament church. The study then looks at the role and influence that the gifts had in the emergence of the modern Pentecostal movement and of the AFM of South Africa. To discover whether this ministry is still functioning effectively, a questionnaire was given to believers in eight different assemblies. The information was then used to compile a list of guidelines that might be adhered to in order to maximise the usefulness of the gifts of the Spirit.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Mental health care in Ghana is not limited to biomedical care. A large number of service
users are believed to utilise non-biomedical avenues in the pathway to health seeking. These
non-biomedical treatments include indigenous and faith healing methods. Although some
studies in Ghana have examined the reasons for and use of alternative mental health care
methods, not many have examined the beliefs about mental illness and the treatment methods
of the healers themselves. In this qualitative study, my aim was to examine how indigenous
and faith healers conceptualised mental disorders, providing rich data on their perspectives
and experiences. In particular, I questioned the perceived homogeneity of non-biomedical
practitioners in Ghana by examining the nuances in mental health notions between different
categories of non-biomedical healers. Thus, the objectives were to assess the beliefs and
methods of different types of healers about different types of disorders, as well as to examine
their views on collaboration with biomedical service providers.
Using Kleinman’s Explanatory Models of Illness concept as a guiding framework,
individual, semi-structured interviews using case vignettes were conducted with thirty-six
indigenous and faith healers who lived and/or worked in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.
The healers comprised herbalists, Pentecostal Christian faith healer, Muslim healers, and traditional medicine men/priests.
The findings of this research suggest that unlike the perceptions of homogenous
conceptualisation of mental disorders by non-biomedical practitioners, differences exist in the
way different disorders are understood and treated by indigenous and faith healers, including
differences in classification, perceived best treatments and perceived impact of the disorder.
Although there were some similarities to biomedical concepts as well as between the healers,
there were also important differences across the different types of healers. With respect to integration of services, the healers’ views on collaboration with biomedicine varied based on
their own perceptions of power and position.
These findings present further perspectives on the fluid, dynamic and often multifaceted
nature of mental health care provision in a country such as Ghana, and provide a lens
to understanding the work of indigenous and faith healing in a pluralistic health care setting.
The study concludes by outlining some potential next steps for developing dialogues on
integration of mental health care services in Ghana.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In Ghana word geestesgesondheidsorg nie tot biomediese sorg beperk nie. Daar word
vermoed dat ‘n groot getal diensgebruikers nie-biomediese weë in die soeke na gesondheid
benut. Hierdie nie-biomediese behandelings sluit inheemse en geloofsgenesingsmetodes in.
Alhoewel die redes vir en gebruik van alternatiewe geestesgesondheidsorgmetodes al in
sommige studies in Ghana ondersoek is, is daar nog nie veel ondersoek ingestel na die
oortuigings…

Imago Dei and faith-healing practices in the Newer Pentecostal-Charismatic Churches (NPCCs) in South Africa: a human dignity perspective.

▼ Faith-
healing practices in the third wave movement of Pentecostals, the Newer Pentecostal-Charismatic Churches, hereafter referred to as the NPCCs, have been in the public domain recently. These unorthodox
faith-
healing practices depicted, among others, pastors making congregants eat grass, snakes, drink petrol; pastors were shown jumping on prostrated bodies of the congregants, and spraying them with doom (house-hold insecticide). These
faith-
healing practices have raised issues for concern of human dignity in the church. Consequently, the government intervened by establishing a commission of inquiry into the commercialisation of religion and abuse of belief systems (2017), to investigate and make submissions to parliament about how to regulate religion in South Africa. During the proceedings of this Commission of inquiry, theologies underpinning
faith-
healing practices were unearthed; namely, health and wealth gospel, NPCCs’ Pneumatology and Hermeneutic principles, and ‘exclusive’ name-and-claim-it gospel.
Using the human dignity perspective, this study investigates these theologies through the theoretical framework of Christian anthropology, namely the royal functional model of imago Dei. The study demonstrates that underpinning
faith-
healing practices in the NPCCs are theologies that have undergone a paradigm shift from the principles of the ‘first’ wave of Pentecostalism, the classical Pentecostals, to the degradation of the dignity of its adherers. I, therefore, argue that imago Dei has practical ethical implications that can be used to scrutinize Church practices in general and
faith-
healing practices in the NPCCs in particular.

▼ This thesis discusses the various rhetorical, logical, and legal methods the medical profession used to regulate
faith healing in North America. In so doing, it illuminates larger questions about the place of religion and authority over the body in modernity. It uses a source base of medical journals, legal documents, and church records to illustrate how doctors positioned themselves as the rational and godly choice for sick people. While
faith healing was originally one of many “cures” and kinds of medicine available to North Americans during the 19th century, the medical field rapidly professionalized and supported laws requiring anyone claiming to practice medicine to adhere to one form of scientifically-based medicine. To support this change, physicians used the category of “quackery,” which implies backwardness and superstition, to illustrate the hazards of
faith healing and other alternative medicines. Later, the rise of psychology in the 1890s reshaped physicians’ view of
faith healing, and they came to explain its claims of success by arguing that “suggestion,” or messages to a person’s unconscious beliefs, can cure particular (gendered) kinds of mental illnesses. Doctors and clergy became curious about the safe use of suggestion, and embarked on experiments like the Emmanuel Movement. In showing this trajectory, this thesis demonstrates the co-operation between the clergy and the medical profession to delineate what they believed was a “rational” form of Protestantism, in opposition to the perceived excesses of
faith healers. The possibility of a rational Protestantism led clergy and physicians to co-operate in several investigations into
faith healers’ activities. Both professions lent their voices in support of the psychologized view of
faith healing. Finally, this thesis examines legal documents and court cases involving
faith healing, demonstrating the concrete application of medical authority in jurisdictions across North America. Through this examination, this thesis will suggest that medical culture and mainstream Protestantism deeply influenced each other in this period, complicating a conventional picture of them as completely separate modes of knowledge.

▼ This dissertation undertakes representations of
faith healing in contemporary Latinx literature in order to argue for and explore the possibilities for radically different realities afforded by holistic, intersubjective
healing modalities. Each chapter takes a different theoretical approach to
faith healing, thereby examining the ways in which
faith healing can be subversive medicine, and the various forms of oppression
faith healing can resist. In Chapter 1, I use Rudolfo Anaya’s Bless Me, Ultima to posit two terms as essential to approaching ideologies of curanderismo: intersubjectivity and extracolonialism. “Intersubjectivity,” from Christina Holmes, connotes a holistic self that is always in context. “Extracolonialism” is a term I put forth to identify curanderismo as adaptable and resourceful. All
healing knowledge is always already a part of curanderismo; for an individual curandera, there is only the “known” and the “not yet known.” In Chapter 2, I posit that curanderismo occurs outside of a capitalist economy, and that the paradigm of the gift economy offers a radical alternative to capitalism. I examine transactions of the gift economy in Ana Castillo’s So Far From God and Manuel Muñoz’s “The
Faith Healer of Olive Avenue,” and I also posit the concept of a “
faith economy” in which
faith itself is valuable and is sometimes the only commodity that sustains a community. Chapter 3 expands the conversation from curanderismo to Santería as represented in Cecelia Rodriguez Milanés’s “Two Friends and the Santera” and Cristina Garcia’s Dreaming in Cuban. I argue that Santería can be read as a
healing practice, and I posit that the simultaneous (im)mutability of Santería’s material culture acts for practitioners to sustain the practice and to build personal relationships and community-make. The material culture is essential to
healing the “social illness” of exile. The fourth chapter refocuses onto curanderismo in works of children’s and YA literature set in the Texas/Mexico borderlands. Through the lens of performance theory, I argue that each curandera character in Monica Brown’s Clara and the Curandera and Nancy Farmer’s The House of the Scorpion makes use of performance to affect
healing that resists, if not subverts, hegemonic power.

▼ A presente dissertação tem como propósito central analisar a emergência, durante o
período de 1928 a 1945, de um conjunto de discursos sobre as práticas terapêuticas alheias ao
campo da Medicina Científica, bem como de uma política repressora aos seus praticantes no
estado da Paraíba. Focalizando espacialmente tal análise no município de São João do Cariri,
buscamos compreender como essa política de perseguição aos chamados “curandeiros” e
“charlatães”, efetivada inicialmente nas maiores cidades do estado, será gradativamente
expandida a todo o território paraibano, inclusive a áreas onde era escasso o oferecimento de
serviços médicos. Neste sentido, a crítica de um corpus documental que inclui, dentre outros
materiais, telegramas oficiais, anúncios jornalísticos e processos-crime é reveladora de uma
série de estratégias acionadas pelos promotores de tal campanha, em sua maioria médicos,
assim como dos artifícios utilizados pelos terapeutas perseguidos, no intento de escapar do
cerceamento e da condenação pela prática do Curandeirismo.

▼ Ceremonial journeys of Indigenous people are a way to their
healing. This Master of Social Work - Indigenous Knowledge research listens to eight participants who shared their ceremonial journeys through talking circles and individual interviews. Eight participants who stated, “We will share our stories” and “We want our voices heard”. Through the stories of their journeys three main themes came to light. They are decolonization,
faith and family. Decolonizing became evident as their stories unfolded and they expressed how attending Indigenous cultural ceremonies changed their lives. The theme of
faith, believing in the Creator and in their ancestors, became a consistent and constant theme as they shared journeys of attending ceremonies. As the participants learned for themselves how to heal, how to move forward in their own lives, and how living life using their own Indigenous culture in circles of sharing, caring and respect changed their lives around, and as they began to see a brighter happier future for themselves, sharing this knowledge with their families becomes increasingly important. As social workers working in the system of social welfare and valuing self-realization of all people, we need to identify the social injustices of the continued oppression of Indigenous families and their rights to apply their traditional customs as catalysts to
healing. The challenges for social work practice and policies are threefold; first, accepting Indigenous ceremony and understanding culture changes lives for the better, secondly, supporting those who choose Indigenous ways in their
healing, and thirdly, recognizing the long term and life style benefits to children and their families.

▼ The
Faith Movement is a religious mosaic since it is a multi-layered phenomenon which is coloured by several themes. These themes represent several areas of emphasis like: Blessing and Blessings, Power to declare, Prophetic anointing, connecting with the anointing, dominion, success and increase, sowing the seeds, as well as other ideas which are still evolving.
The Word of
Faith teachers have a very unique way of reading the Bible. They usually approach the text without consideration of its historical and cultural context. When they approach the biblical text they usually assign to it an independent existence cut off from its natural context. This in turn results in the reinterpretation of all the major doctrines of the Christian
faith. Both God and human beings belong to the same class of “divine beings.” God and human beings it is believed operate under the rule of
faith. It is argued that whatever God created, God did so by speaking words of
faith (see Genesis 1:1-3). It is therefore argued that human beings similarly can create their own reality and destiny by speaking words of
faith.Christology and Pneumatology of the
Faith Movement assume a rather narrow outlook. It is believed that Jesus Christ died so that in addition to the forgiveness of sins He provided for all spiritual and material needs of the people. Therefore, no Christian should be poor or sick. The Holy Spirit on the other hand, is the anointing that enables believers to make it in life.
It must be pointed out that even though the Word of
Faith ideas were exported to Africa mainly from the United States of America it has found a home in Africa. The concepts of blessings and curses have a corollary in African Religious Traditional thought. The role that Word of
Faith preachers play is similar to the roles played by several religious experts in African Religious Thought. Ultimately, the
Faith Movement is not based on sound theological and philosophical ground. It is based on unique reading of the Bible which is more esoteric than theological. More Gnostic than Christian.

▼ This thesis is a study of nineteenth and twentieth century
faith theology and praxis, seeking to
determine a balanced, healthy
faith that is both sound in theology and effective in practice.
Part 1 presents a history and sources of
Faith Teaching and Practices. It first looks
historicalty at the roots of later
faith teaching and practice by presenting a sampling of
teachings on
faith from early church fathers, reformers, mystics, and Pietists. These form the
foundation for the movements of
faith in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – the
classic
faith teaching, followed by the modern
faith movement and leaders.
Part 2 deals with the foundational issues of
faith teaching and practice: the
relationship of
faith to the supernatural, the concept of the inheritance of the believer and the
practice of claiming the promises of God, the nature of
faith, and the authority of the believer
and its inferences for
faith praxis.
Part 3 investigates seven major theological issues of
faith teaching and practice:
faith
as a law and force, the object and source of
faith, the relationship of
faith and the will of God,
distinguishing between a logos and a rhema word of God, the concepts of revelation and
sense knowledge, the doctrine of
healing in the atonement, the question of evidence of the
baptism in lhe Holy Spirit.
Part 4 examines major practical issues of
faith teaching and practice about which
controversy swirls: positive mental attitude and positive confession; issues of discernment in
acting upon impressions, voices, revelations, and "words from the Lord;" questions of failh
regarding sickness and
healing, death, doctors and medicine; the relationships between
sickness, suffering,
healing, and sanctification; and prosperity.
Part 5 reflects upon these issues and comes to final conclusions regarding: the role of
hermeneutics in determining failh theology and praxis, how to handle unanswered prayers
and apparent failures of
faith, the seeming paradox and tension between claiming one's inheritance and dying to self, a summary of practical conclusions for exercise of healthy
faith, and final conclusions and recommendations on developing a sound theology and practice of
faith for the twenty-fist century.

▼ The central theoretical argument of the study is that faith can heal or help
counselees to cope with mood and anxiety disorders.
In the meta-theoretical perspective a literature study of recent research on
mood and anxiety disorders and the therapeutic approaches to each within the
disciplines of psychiatry, psychology, and medicine was done. It was found that
there are a number of different causes and treatments for depression and anxiety
with different disciplines emphasising different perspectives. An empirical study
consisting of qualitative structured interviews and observations of a selected
group of counselees struggling with depression and anxiety was also carried out.
It was established that faith had played a significant role in the healing of the
counselee's depression and anxiety or in their ability to deal with their illnesses.
The goal with the basis-theoretical perspectives was to explore what the Bible
has to teach about 'depression", faith and healing and to research the revelation
historical stance on this. Expositional studies of a selected core of biblical
references pertaining to depression were undertaken and key biblical figures who
suffered from “depression" were studied. It was concluded that although the Bible
does not speak of depression and anxiety per se, it describes people who might
have been suffering from it. Valuable insights that can be used in helping
counselees to deal and/or cope with their depression and anxiety were gained by
studying these biblical characters and passages (2 Corinthians 1:3-11,
Philippians 4:4-13 and Lamentations).
In the practice-theoretical perspective an integrative model which can be used
by pastoral counsellors for dealing with depression in a faith-based context and
for equipping depression sufferers to constructively deal with their depression
and anxiety was developed. This was accomplished by utilising the basis- and
meta-theoretical perspectives in a hermeneutical interaction to formulate a
holistic faith-based model.

▼ Faith healing deaths occur infrequently in Canada, but when they do they pose a considerable challenge for criminal justice. Similar to caregivers who absent-mindedly and fatally forget a child in a hot vehicle, faith healers do not intentionally harm their children. It can seem legally excessive and unjust to prosecute achingly bereaved parents. But unlike ‘hot-car’ deaths, faith healing parents are not absent minded in the deaths they cause. Rather, significant deliberation and strength of will is necessary to treat their child’s ailment with faith alone. Two different Criminal Code provisions can be brought to bear upon these deaths, namely, s. 215 ‘Failing to provide the necessaries of life’ and s. 219 ‘Criminal negligence’. From a public, medical, and scientific perspective treating potentially fatal ailments with ‘faith’ and ‘prayer’ seems like reckless endangerment, giving apparent justification to the more serious criminal negligence charge. But, the fault element in the criminal negligence offence continues to be a vexing issue in Canadian jurisprudence. People accused of negligence-based offences are commonly held to the standard of what a reasonable person might predictably have done in similar circumstances. While it is unnecessary for the impartial trier of fact to conceive of faith healing as ‘reasonable’, it is an open question whether faith healers are sufficiently unreasonable to warrant serious criminal condemnation and possible incarceration when their course of action causes death. Is it justifiable to think of faith healers who cause death as criminally unreasonable? That is, do they depart markedly enough from the standard that criminal negligence is rightly attributed to them? Public attitudes toward religion, religious fundamentalism, and healthcare must be considered when trying to discern what a reasonable person does when treating an ailing child at risk of death.

Spirituality, medical science and health : the spiritual effects of a sense of entitlement in the ministry of healing in the Christian Church

▼ The human trait of entitlement, although currently very topical, has only recently come under serious scrutiny by behavioural psychologists (Campbell, Bonacci, Shelton, Exline & Bushman 2004:30). This study examines the modifying effects of these psychological elements on the spiritual aspects of disease and
healing. Other modifiers are the personal spiritual beliefs or dogmas of the clergy within the paradigm of a particular denomination, and the beliefs and expectations of the adherents.
Two Christian denominations were chosen for the study: The Methodist Church of Southern Africa, in particular the home church of the writer, The Bedfordview Methodist Church, and Afmin, an organisation that trains and equips students, mainly African, for Christian ministry. Structured face to face interviews were conducted with pastors and church leaders, interviews with medical professionals were conducted and a wide ranging review of relevant literature undertaken.
It was found that while the trait of entitlement was a constant in human nature, there were modifying factors. These included the personal beliefs of pastors and youth leaders, often founded on personal experience instead of denominational dogma. The influence of Pentecostal / Charismatic teaching was very evident. It was also found that the church, in a drive to become increasingly relevant to current norms and social trends, tended to have a rather confused understanding of biblical
healing and the role of God in disease and suffering.
While the inevitability of death, suffering and disease cannot be denied, the role of the church is complex and controversial. Unrealistic expectations, based on teaching that encourages a sense of entitlement can lead to great challenges regarding
faith in both the clergy and adherents.

Creating a Healing Environment: Strategies Christian Nurses Use.

▼ Nursing metaparadigm concepts of nurse, person, environment, and health are the conceptual building blocks which provide direction to nursing research and knowledge development (Fawcett & Desnato-Madeya, 2013). Interaction of person, nurse and environment facilitate optimal outcomes yet, there remains a need for research on the paradigm concept of environment and creation of a
healing environment in particular. (Meleis, 2010).
The purpose of this study was to explore the strategies Christian nurses used to create a
healing environment and enhance well-being for non-end-of-life, hospitalized patients from admission forward. Specific aims included identifying nurses’ perspectives on (1) the strategies Christian nurses used to create a
healing environment and enhance well-being, (2) the outcomes they perceived resulting from these strategies, and (3) the factors they regarded as either enhancing or inhibiting the creation of the
healing environments. An additional aim was description of characteristics of nurses who created
healing environments and enhanced well-being.
In this qualitative, Glaserian grounded theory (GGT) study, interview data were collected via a demographic “Information about You” sheet (see Appendix D) and semi- structured interviews (see Appendix C for interview guide) of nurses (N = 15) until data saturation was reached. A criterion-based, purposive sample was recruited, and tape-recorded face-to-face interviews were transcribed verbatim, coded, and analyzed using constant comparative methods in consultation with a grounded theory expert.
“Charting the
healing path” is the core category and consists of four phases: helping patients get better, fostering the
healing environment, charting a
healing path, and observing outcomes. Within this model are ten substantive categories of baseline assessment, being available, knowing as a unique individual, hearing immediate concerns, seeing from the patient and the nurse points of view, partnering with the patient, setting realistic goals, realizing best potential, and outcomes. See Figure 1 for a conceptual model.
The “charting the
healing path” model informs development of the environment domain of nursing knowledge. Knowing the patient, the juncture of nurse and patient points of view, and the resultant nurse-patient partnership seek best potential outcomes to be realized incrementally during, and after, hospitalization.

▼ Post modernity, some argue, has made grand narratives no longer meaningful. Others critique this view as Eurocentric and its own metanarrative. However, despite the forecast of a fully secular society and the inevitable demise of religion in Western, enlightened society, we now live in a post-secular world, characterised by a resurgence of some religious practices, the decline of others and the immergence of still more. Yet, our performance studies theoretical and methodological frameworks do not always reflect this. In counter-measure, this thesis explores large-scale theatrical productions by twenty-first century Latter-Day Saints. They are a religious people, who theatrically embody their own sacred histories, in locales holy to them. In so doing, the materiality of these performances is shot through with the metaphysical, becoming a case study in the complex nexus between theatre, performance studies and theatre practices informed by faith-based practices within organised religion. The case studies examined are two annual performances (2005 – present, and 2013 – present) by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois, America and Chorley, Lancashire, Britain. These performances become transformative encounters for many participants, and this thesis seeks to understand why. In answering, after laying the preliminary groundwork for the study in Chapter One, Chapter Two builds upon performance scholar Jon McKenzie’s work on liminality to propose symbiotic efficacy, which explores how the spaces between cast members and audience become inscribed with Buberian I-Thou holiness to facilitate transformative encounters. Building on this, Chapter Three explores the transformative spaces between the living and the dead they represent on stage, seeking to understand how performative embodiment of one’s ancestors can reshape linear chains of religious memory into circular chains. Furthermore, this chapter explores the rupture of “the miracle” on stage. Chapter Four examines the site-specific nature of these performances, and building on both anthropologist Tim Ingold’s work on landscape, and Rana Singh’s work on faithscape, explores a culturally inscribed frame to reveal the impact of faith on the landscape of site-specific performance locales. In concluding, Chapter Five examines the transformative unity experienced by participants: unity with fellow cast members and audience, unity with the dead represented on stage, and unity with the landscape of the site-specific location. Such unity for participants is liberating, and ultimately leads to unity with the Divine.

▼ The Parse research method of phenomenology was used to explore the
universal lived experience of Spiritual
Healing Touch in older women with Chronic Pain.
Three individuals with chronic non-malignant pain naive to touch modalities received
one treatment and participated in audio-taped dialogical engagement. The taped
discussions were analyzed using Parse's procedure of extraction-synthesis. Three core
concepts emerged to formulate a structure of the lived experience of Spiritual
Healing
Touch. The core concepts identified were: 1) Transcendence of body, mind and spirit
emerges with relaxation while pain intensifies-dissipates in the presence of integrated
wholeness; 2) Co-transcending the physical boundaries of energy emerges into the unique
experience of beneficial comfort in the presence of transformational uncertainty; and
3) Energy is experienced and meaning and value is placed on it throughout the treatment
process. The structure was linked to the Human Becoming Theory and beyond through a
process of heuristic interpretation. The findings from the study produced new knowledge
and understanding regarding the human experience of Spiritual
Healing Touch.

▼ This project examines how Georgia draws the line between religious freedom and child abuse. In Georgia, certain religious parents are granted spiritual exemptions for conduct that would otherwise be prohibited due to its potential harm to children, while other parents must alter their religious practices to conform to the law. An examination of Georgia law governing conduct that is both religiously-motivated and poses a risk of physical harm to children illustrates that Georgia’s spiritual exemptions have contributed to producing legally-defined religious orthodoxy, inconsistent regulation of religious conduct, and less stringent state protection from harm for the children of some religious parents.

▼ Esta dissertação tem como objetivo geral criticar o modelo relacional vigente entre o terapeuta e o paciente, a partir de elementos fundamentais da Religião Cristã, do ponto de vista terapêutico. Por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, estuda-se a relação entre terapia e religião, buscando-se apreender o modo de interagir que pacientes e terapeutas reclamam. A pesquisa tem como base o Evangelho de Marcos, a partir de autores bíblicos atuais como Ekkehard W. Stegemann, Gerd Theissen e John Meier. São consideradas, também, para fundamentação teórica de conceitos, idéias de pensadores como Juan Luis Segundo, Paul Tillich e Victor Frankl. Conclui-se que a relação terapeuta-paciente é um importante agente promotor da fé/confiança que estimula os recursos naturais da cura, bem como que se percebe aproximações e contrastes entre as práticas do Jesus de Nazaré e do terapeuta brasileiro contemporâneo

▼ The policy of Separate Development and its forceful implementation by the Nationalist Government from the !960's and into the 1980's resulted in the resettlement of thousands of Africans in the 'homeland' Ciskei in the Eastern Cape. All these changes had a profound and very often a disruptive influence on the lives of those involved. People's ability to survive amidst these circumstances, was tested to the limit. This study looks at the role of the local Christian
faith community in supporting its members during these rapid and disruptive socioeconomic and political changes. The study is confined to two congregations of the Uniting
Reformed Church in Southern Africa in Ilitha and Ndevana in the Eastern Cape. Following an introductory chapter, Chapter 2 gives a historical outline of developments in the broader Ciskei. Attention is also given to demographic, social and economic conditions. Chapter 3 describes the culture and feeling of despair, powerlessness and mistrust that is deeply
entrenched in the minds of many people in the community due to depressive socio-economic situations. Chapter 4 gives an overview of the churches in the area and describes the supportive structures
and actions of two churches in the Ilitha-Ndevana area. No instant solutions are offered to members but through mutual support they find a sense of belonging and encouragement in the midst of their hardship.
In Chapter 5 a model for the mission of the local church in a context of social and economic change and disruption, is presented. It is shown how the image of Christianity and the Gospel have been distorted and misused in the past through the entanglement of mission and
colonialism, a negative attitude towards African culture, and by contributing to the subordination of women in society. A vision that people in Africa can have peace and dignity and become self-reliant is proposed. Within the local
faith community this vision is built on an
understanding of God as the weak and suffering Lord, on fellowship and mutual support, a new reading of the Bible, a practical community based spirituality, and an emphasis on
healing.; Die daarstelling en .kragdadige toepassing van die beleid van Afsonderlike Ontwikkeling vanaf die 1960's tot·die 1980's het tot gevolg_gehad dat duisende Swart Suid-AftilCaners hervestig is

▼ This thesis is an historical analytical investigation
and theological analysis
of the fundamental trends of the ‘Third
Wave’ Religious Right Movement and
the growth of Zimbabwean
Christianity. In an attempt to understand the
appealing and growth
factors of this religious movement in the Zimbabwean
Church scene,
the research focuses on the trends and behaviour of the
Third Wave
Religious Right Movement in Zimbabwe and the critical aspect of
how this religious movement communicates the Christian
faith to
its
audience. A critical thrust of the study is the question of
whether the
disciples of the charismatic movement are motivated by
faith or economic
factors which may ultimately not be the
authentic summons of the gospel of
Jesus Christ. The research
addresses fears and suspicions of many
Christians who are caught
up between
faith and fear response to the
proclamation of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ by the New Religious Right
Movements,
particularly in Zimbabwe.
The hypothetical statement of this work
is that there seems to be a subtle
reconstruction identity in the
theology of the “Third Wave” Religious Right
Movement as is
clearly manifested through the maneuverings of Christians
from the
‘traditional churches’ to these ‘newer charismatic churches in
trends which reflect the changing religious geography and the face
of African
Christianity in general and Zimbabwean Christianity in
particular. The
research explores the nature, impact and
significance of the post – modern ‘Third Wave’ Religious Right
Movement in Zimbabwean society in particular.
The identity and
nature of the ‘Third Wave’ Religious Right Movement in its
historical perspective discussed by means of identifying and
analyzing the
characteristics of this movement and its theological
perspectives as well as
discussing the factors that promote the
growth of the movement in the
context of Missio Dei (God’s
Mission) and the society in general. Critical to
this type of
Christianity are the images of power and prosperity which are
understood as signs of
faith. The impact and effects of this type
of
faith
expression in the socio-political landscape is fully
explored.
The primary methodology in this study is the historical
critical method
complimented by oral historiography. Both primary
and secondary sources
are utilized in this research in a holistic
framework for analyzing the
historical trends as they unfold in
the context of religious declarations and
transformations that are
part of the phenomenon under investigation. The
study observes the
translation model of evangelization in the unfolding
discourse of
the ‘Third Wave’ Religious Right Movement.
The study ultimately
reveals how people’s economic fears and hopes in the
midst of
life’s challenges draw them toward religious movements which
promise to positively promote a glorious life with practical
results being
realized “here and now”. This study has clearly
exposed how religion,
specifically charismatic Christianity, is
seen as a package of an abundant life in the context…

▼ This thesis is about a pastoral theology of participation, guided by the process of participatory action research. It explores through the lived experience of the participants practical ways of doing friendship.
On this research journey, I explore the discourse of individualism and how it blinds us to our connectedness as creations in the image of God. Without denying the benefits scientific development have to offer, I argue for a more richly textured individualism, inviting concern for the consequences of our actions on the well-being of others as part of our ethical ways of being. The Fourth Century description of a Christian as `friend of God' was the inspiration for the metaphor of friendship as a powerful counterweight against the isolating forces of a culture where the distorting ideology of consumerism and individualism are prevailing. I argue for the re-membering of this metaphor for God as friend, and the church as community-of-friends.
Through the telling of tales of living friendship, interwoven with and giving life to the philosophy of friendship, I build further on the metaphor for the church as community-of-friends. I propose a Friendship Position Map and the metaphor of a circle of concern, arguing that although it comes more natural to us to love those close to us, and reach out to them in friendship, in an ethical spirituality of participation and mutual care, we are to follow Jesus' example and show hospitality towards all others, including strangers and enemies.
Where many authors write about the importance of community, this thesis is about how to create the nourishing community we long for. It explores practical ways in which communities can overcome obstacles in their way to connect to each other through ethical ways of loving and doing friendship. It offers some ideas about learning to be friends in the inner circles of the circle of concern with those close to us, in order to do friendship in the outer circles.
I explore the role of the church and
faith communities as habitat for the nurturing and/or cultivating of living friendships, in inviting
faith communities to live as community-of-friends; friends of God and of one another.

▼ The purpose for this research journey was twofold: (1) to discover the power of certain discourses in the charismatic church context and (2) to challenge disrespectful discursive practices in order to co-operate respectful, ethical and caring ways of being. Seven leaders in charismatic churches committed themselves to this qualitative research project. The research process resulted in a confirmation by the participants that some charismatic discursive practices can be abusive and also to the acknowledgement that they too have at times fulfilled the role of abuser, even in unknowingly. This research journey ended in Hope. Hope for more transparency and trust between leaders and members, resulting in more respectful practices.

▼ This practicum focuses on developing a deeper knowledge about stress and our external environments. It is directed towards the profession of Landscape Architecture, and healthcare facilities including professionals. It outlines critical information about stress: how stress affects people’s physical, emotional, mental health and well-being, and how landscape architects are able to mitigate different types of stress through the design and use of our exterior environments, offering respite and
healing in times of great need. Stress reveals and manifests itself in numerous ways. It has become a major problem within our society, much bigger than people care to acknowledge or believe. Landscape Architects have the ability to help people reflect upon the stress that they are under by creating spaces that inevitably sooth their ‘selves’. Through the profession and subsequent work of Landscape Architects the awareness of stress can be addressed, helping bring respite and relieve tension and stress, whether large or small, which is extremely critical in today’s society. Through the use of gardens and exterior spaces designed with stress-relief in mind, we will be able to decrease hospital stays, drug use and the overall amount of money used by medical institutions and governments, while decreasing the progression and succession of illness and diseases related to and accentuated or propagated by, or due to stress.
Through this document I will discuss ideas and theories that influence and/or are pertinent to Landscape Architecture and stress, as well as natural elements that should be taken into consideration when starting to design or when planning a design that will be situated within medical institutions and healthcare facilities, but not limited to, and including any other exterior environment (such as a backyard). It will also outline design elements which emphasize appropriate ways to design these spaces and places responsibly and sensitively. By understanding how people respond to stress, Landscape Architects may be able to design appropriate, beautiful spaces.
Initially this practicum was directed towards designing beautiful, meaningful gardens for the sick and/or dying, as well as for the families, visitors, and employees within healthcare settings. It has evolved, to include how our brains and bodies are physiologically affected by spaces and places that we encounter, and how these spaces either reduce or increase stress responses within us, therefore, increasing or decreasing our ability to heal, be healthy, and feel well. Stress is a major condition that is often “down-played”, ignored, or not understood within society. It is in fact a very serious condition / illness that has the ability to dictate the outcome of our physical and mental performances, and especially our health and well-being. Landscape Architects have the ability and responsibility to contribute positively to people’s bodily reactions to spaces: exterior and interior.

▼ The question of whether or not feminisms can be located amongst Pentecostal and evangelical women has been widely debated in the field of women’s and gender studies (Franks, 2001; Ginsburg, 1997). Yet my research has uncovered that Pentecostal women have a unique brand of feminism through their spiritual power and submission, drawing from a distinctly female spiritual experience of Pentecostalism, when they give submission first to God before all others. Many of these practicing women employ ‘biblical feminism’ (Scanzoni & Hardesty, 1992), an aspect of feminist theology that looks at biblical representations of women through a ‘developing egalitarianism’ approach.
The stories of these women were told to me by them during my ethnographic, cross cultural and comparative PhD research from September, 2012 to February, 2014. I conducted more than 60 interviews around New Zealand and River City and Fountain City, Missouri (USA), with women in two Pentecostal denominations, the Assemblies of God (AG) and the United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI). Their stories are put in conversation with submission doctrine while exploring the social contexts that shape how these women experience God,
faith, and themselves. In this religious and social context women’s lives are structurally and systematically different from men’s lives, thereby producing a set of different as well as differently complete knowledges (Wood, 2005:pp. 61-66).
Both lay women and leaders told of the transformative power of their conversions into Pentecost and their sense of purpose through actively applied call narratives to demonstrate the aegis of their God-given authority. They spoke of having spiritual giftings like
healing, prophesy, and tongues and interpretation, which they regularly enacted for the benefit of other members in their
faith communities. They placed protocols around their giftings to ensure that the gift-bringer was operating under God’s authority rather than her own. Participants revealed the multi-dimensionality of submission and their own cerebral approach to the concept. This placed them in what I call woman space, a place of spiritual power constantly regenerated by the woman’s prayers and the strength of her belief that God works through her. My work uncovered that submission – given always to God before all others - is an inseparable tenet of these women’s spiritual power.
