Faith-based organisations (FBOs) have long been recognised as having an advantage in delivering programs and interventions amongst communities of the same faith. However, many FBOs today work across a variety of contexts, including with local partners and communities of different faiths. Likewise, secular NGOs and donors are increasingly partnering with faith-based organisations to work in highly-religious communities. Development Across Faith Boundaries explores the dynamics of activities by local or international FBOs that cross faith boundaries, whether with their partners, donors or recipient communities. The book investigates the dynamics of cross-faith partnerships in a range of development contexts, from India, Cambodia and Myanmar, to Melanesia, Bosnia, Ethiopia and Afghanistan. The book demonstrates how far FBOs extend their activities beyond their own faith communities and how far NGOs partner with religious actors. It also considers the impacts of these cross-faith partnerships, including their work on conflict and sectarian or ethnic tension in the relevant communities. This book is an invaluable guide for graduates, researchers and students with an interest in development and religious studies, as well as practitioners within the aid sector.

As societies across the globe rethink and often discard the institutions of marriage and religion, interfaith marriages continue to grow in number. These unions, usually committed to seeing past the traditional sectarian labels, often struggle when the traditional sources of support for marital life--faith community, family support--are not available. Still, the determination of interfaith couples to negotiate and cross boundaries gives hope to a fractured world. Bonni-Belle Pickard draws from her personal and professional experience to suggest ways of addressing the challenges of interfaith couples and their families.

Das Buch setzt die Reihe RIPAR fort, indem die bisher noch nicht behandelte MENA Region in den Mittelpunkt des Interesses rückt. Wegen der zahlreichen Kriege und Konflikte in diesem Raum sind weitere Bände geplant. Im vorliegenden Band geht es um Flüchtlinge und ihre vielfältigen Bedürfnisse nach Versöhnung mit sich selbst und anderen. Insbesondere Gefühle von Trauer und Schuld wegen des Zurücklassens der Heimat und von Teilen der Familie, schlimme Erlebnisse auf der Flucht, Konflikte mit anderen Flüchtlingen und mit Einheimischen, der Verlust eines großen Teils dessen, was dem Leben Sinn und Bedeutung verlieh, und die Schwierigkeiten einer Rückkehr in ein verändertes Land, eine Heimat, die sich vielleicht nicht mehr wie eine Heimat anfühlt, sind die einzelnen Facetten dieses Bedürfnisses nach Versöhnung. Aktivitäten der UN, von internationalen Organisationen zur Flüchtlingshilfe, von staatlichen Stellen, von Kommunen, NGOs, religiösen und humanitären Organisationen werden in diesem Buch dargestellt. Dabei kommen zahlreiche Forscherinnen und Forscher aus den Ländern der MENA-Region zu Wort. Sie beschreiben nicht nur gelungene Aktivitäten, sondern auch Schwierigkeiten zahlreicher Gesellschaften in der MENA-Region, die ursprünglich gastfreundliche Haltung zu den Flüchtlingen aufrechtzuerhalten. Ähnlich wie in Deutschland lassen sich letztlich absteigende Kurven der Akzeptanz der Flüchtlinge auch für Länder wie Jordanien, der Türkei oder den Libanon zeichnen. Das Buch führt aber auch vor Augen, wie große Aufgaben diese Länder durch die Flüchtlingsströme zu bewältigen haben und was auch an Anstrengungen unternommen worden ist. Neben Autorinnen und Autoren aus Marokko, Libyen, Ägypten, den Palästinensergebieten, Jordanien, dem Libanon und der Türkei, enthält der Band auch Texte aus deutscher, griechischer, italienischer und US-amerikanischer Sicht. Das Buch zeigt eine von Kriegen und Konflikten heimgesuchte Region, aber es zeigt auch Initiativen und Ansäze zu Versöhnung.

The fair and equitable distribution of wealth and the cultivation of proper attitudes toward material goods and economic development concern all religious traditions alike. In so far as the dynamics of the world market or the global economic system transcend the competency and control of any particular religion, dialogue between religions, as well as between religionists and economists becomes both possible and necessary. This volume brings together religious thinkers from various traditions as well as economists to reflect on the possibilities and the challenges of such dialogue.

Jan-Olav Henriksen reconstructs and analyzes Christianity as a cluster of practices that manifest a distinct historically and contextually shaped mode of being in the world. Henriksen suggests that these practices imply a complicated relationship between the tradition in which they originate, the community that emerges from and is constituted by that tradition, and the individuals who appropriate the tradition that these communities mediate through their practices. Thus, to think of Christianity simply in terms of belief is misleading and represents an underdetermination of its distinct character. Henriksen further argues this relationship needs to be described primarily as practices aimed at orientation and transformation. His analysis points to Christianity's similarity to other religions in regard to the functional or pragmatic dimensions it displays. Examining facets such as prayer, the use of scripture, preaching and doctrine, Henriksen emphasizes that the element that makes a practice distinctively Christian is how it relates to and is informed by the Jesus story.

This book argues that the discipline of practical theology needs to be re-shaped in the light of the impact of various influences created through the encounter with globalization. Essential to this is an engagement with the insights of other disciplines, e.g. sociology, politics, economics and philosophy. The content and authority of the Christian tradition is being challenged by the blurred encounters with more fluid lifestyles, alternative spiritualities and indeed other faiths as mediated through information technology and the breakdown of attachments to all forms of institutional life. Traditional ways of belonging and relating to places and structures are being eroded leaving the established patterns of ministry, worship, church organisation the province of an ageing population, while those who are now more inclined to search for communities of interest avoid being drawn into the practices and structures of formal religion. What is the future for practical theology in this rapidly changing context? By examining the familiar concerns of the subject John Reader shows how it is in danger of operating with zombie categories - still alive but only just - and presents the possibilities for a reflexive spirituality grounded in the Christian tradition as a way into the future.

Relationships between people are frequently compromised as a result of religious viewpoints, but appropriate spiritual care requires bridges to understanding that will allow for trust and justice to become visible. The pattern for this book is shaped on the recognition that, while religious expressions differ markedly in their presentation, we can discern at the core of all religious expressions a supposition of sacred presence. It is therefore helpful for us all, in the daily events of our lives, that we approach people of other faiths with a degree of humility, recognizing that neither we, nor they, have a final answer to the question of faith. The book is divided into four parts, each part containing some chapters, in which elements of interfaith care are considered. Part one explores the complexities of interfaith engagement. Part two discusses ways for caring for each other in the search for meaning. Part three claims that spirituality is most difficult, if not impossible to define, but can be visible in a variety of experiences. The fourth part explores ways in which all that has gone before may be put into practice as spiritual care.

An accessible guide to thoughtfully and faithfully reading and interpreting the Bible in our polarized world. Can Christians navigate the use of biblical texts that are quoted and used to support points across the political spectrum? What principles exist for interpreting those that support conflicting viewpoints? In An Inspired Word in Season, biblical scholar Thomas Bolin addresses these pressing questions by equipping readers with an interpretive toolkit to more thoughtfully and faithfully use the Bible as a moral guide to inform their thinking as Christian citizens. Drawing upon U.S. history and contemporary social debates, along with the centuries old interpretive traditions used in reading the Bible, this book describes how biblical interpretations can be so diverse and offers an interpretive principle for helping to bridge the gaps that divide Christians who rely on the Bible as a resource for thinking about important social issues. In An Inspired Word in Season, Thomas Bolin offers readers a guide for responsible use of the Bible for discerning modern ethical questions, forming reasoned opinions on current political issues, and examining the Bible’s relevance to modern life.
