Spirituality and Social Justice explores how critically informed spirituality can serve as an inspiration and a political force in the quest for social and ecological justice. Writing from various spiritual and religious worldviews, including Indigenous, Islamic, Wicca/Witchcraft, Jewish, Buddhist, and Christian, the authors—practitioners and academics of social work—draw on lived experience, research, and literature to illuminate how relationship with spirit can orient ways of being and acting to build a more just society. In Part One, the authors foreground Indigenous spirituality as resistance and decolonization. Part Two examines the complex ethical and political dimensions of spirituality, including the ecological destruction of the Earth and the influence of contemporary neoliberalism. Lastly, Part Three explores spirituality in teaching and learning contexts, both inside and beyond the classroom. Engaging and well-written, Spirituality and Social Justice challenges the notion that practitioners must put aside their critical spirituality in teaching, learning, healing, and practice. Students, practitioners, and academics of social work and other helping professions will benefit from the unique insights into spirituality and religion and how they inform social justice activism.

"Over the past three decades, there has been an appreciably renewed interest in spirituality and/or religion in social work practice. Spirituality and Social Justice explores how critically informed spirituality (i.e., spirituality grounded in a critical social work framework/theory) serves as a political force and an inspiration in the pursuit of social and ecological justice in the social work profession. Writing from various spiritual and religious backgrounds, including Indigenous, Wiccan, Islamic, and Christian, the contributors--social work practitioners and academics alike--draw on spiritual practices, lived experiences, research, and literature to illuminate how spirituality orients their ways of being and acting in the world to build a kinder, fairer, and more egalitarian society. Arguing for a critical conceptualization of spirituality as the practice of ethical relations and moral accountability, this collection raises the spiritual challenge for the social work profession of facing historical and contemporary forms of the colonization of Indigenous Peoples and moving toward ally-ship and solidarity with them. Furthermore, this collection highlights the indivisibility of spirituality from the everyday efforts to pursue social justice through right relationships and individual and collective actions, thereby challenging the notion that social work practice requires one to leave one's faith and spirituality at the door to be an unbiased practitioner and embracing the fact that one's spirituality is at the core of who one is. It also accentuates how spirituality in the quest for social justice is actualized. Part One foregrounds Indigenous spirituality as resistance and decolonization; Part Two further explores the complex subject of the ethical and political dimensions of spirituality from a variety of spiritual and religious worldviews; and Part Three delves into spirituality in teaching and learning contexts, both inside and beyond the social work classroom."--

Jim Wallis, well-known justice advocate and author, has stated that the two great hungers in the world today are for spirituality and social justice. Although social work and related fields have increasingly recognized the importance of addressing spirituality within clinical practice, less attention has been paid to the role of spirituality in promoting social justice or supporting social change within macropractice. The contributions in this edited collection highlight current developments in this area, including emerging conceptual frameworks, practice applications and research findings. Theoretical approaches to understanding the link between spirituality and justice are explored in analyses of alternative models of social justice and justice orientations of major faith traditions. The critical role of spirituality in larger system change is illustrated through exemplars of research on vulnerable populations, community practice, legislative advocacy, development of social movements, and ecological social work. The importance of including content on religion and spirituality in professional curricula is explored through research on students’ attitudes toward spirituality and social advocacy. Noting the resonating themes within all of these contributions, the volume concludes with an overview of emerging principles for spiritual activism. This book aims to stimulate further development in the vital connection between spirituality and social justice. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Religion & Spirituality in Social Work.

Missing from the discourse on spirituality are the injustices experienced in the workplace, particularly by individuals marginalized by social group identity or affiliation. This is a critical omission in that spirituality can stimulate reflection, response, healing, and transformation of the soul. Filling the gap by addressing the role of spirituality in relation to meaningful work, this volume extends ideas about teaching and learning about spirituality to workplace settings, including the transformative learning theory. In seeking ways to promote moral and socially responsible workplaces and to establish a new way of thinking, the volume lays down a philosophical framework for spirituality in the workplace as a means of emancipation and social justice, and shows how the workplace can be a fruitful context for social justice education. This is the 152nd volume of the Jossey Bass series New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education. Noted for its depth of coverage, it explores issues of common interest to instructors, administrators, counselors, and policymakers in a broad range of education settings, such as colleges and universities, extension programs, businesses, libraries, and museums.

In The Soul of Activism, author and activist Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz, gives a unique re-examination of the power of interfaith spirituality to fuel the fires of progressive activism. 'Religion' in the public sphere has been claimed by far-right ideologues while progressives, turned off by the hypocrisy of the religious influence on contemporary policy, have lost out on the experience of religious community. As a result, progressives are losing control of political discourse because they neither grasp nor trust the universal and invigorating language and practice of religion when expressed productively for social justice. Progressive activists must find these missing spiritual tools, cultivate compassion, and lead affirmative change in their communities.

Here are over one hundred imaginative and well-researched reflections on the Gospel of Luke. It is easy to read many parts of the Bible as if we have "been there before". We know how the story starts, continues and ends. Familiarity prevents us from finding something new, challenging or uplifting. These reflections offer a fresh and vivid approach to the Gospel of Luke. They search out deeper insights communicated in creative and down-to-earth language. There is nothing religious here. They are about how we might better find our way living in a complex world. Being in poetic form, their more oblique style gives voice to other possible interpretations. This book will find its way into the hands of those who see social justice and contemplation as crucial priorities and recognise them as being two sides of the same coin in the life of Jesus.

This book sets out to explore the intersections between matters not frequently yoked in academic discussions: spirituality, social justice, and the learning of world languages. The contributing authors contend not only that these intersections exist, but that they are the site of issues and realities that require the attention of language educators and point to avenues of growth for the language teaching profession. The essays included seek to indicate the possibilities of a neglected area of inquiry, not only in terms of theory but also in terms of the practices of language education. Given this aim of opening up fresh questions, the book is arranged so as to show the relevance of the nexus of spirituality and social justice to teacher education (chapters 3 and 4), language classroom practices (chapters 5 and 6), and the theoretical sources that inform scholarly discussion of language education (chapters 7 and 8). The opening chapters place these explorations in a larger context by showing how they fit into existing social contexts and academic discussions.
