Although written from a biblical/Christian perspective this book's theme has practical value for everyone. It presents a new relational paradigm supported by love, justice, mutuality, and other spiritual qualities. The author believes scripture teaches that all human beings are created to live in fulfilling relationships even those who are homosexual. People of faith, family, & community are urged to support same gender couples by validating their committed partnership; however, nearly 50% of American citizens and church members do not support legalizing same gender marriage. This historical perspective on marriage reveals marriage has experienced considerable positive change and practice during the past 75 years and needs to be redefined. Until the 20th century procreation (be fruitful and multiply) was marriage's major purpose. While procreation remains important, mutuality has become the major emphasis. As written in Genesis 2:18 (NRSV), God sought a partner for the man. In many marriages partnership has replaced patriarchy, providing an enriching relational experience in family life. The author presents a new relational paradigm which includes both heterosexual and homosexual couples seeking a lifelong committed relationship. Marriage of male and female and the union of same gender couples will share the title, partnership safeguarded by the same legal standards. For male and female, their title will be a marital partnership; for same gender couples their title will be a same gender partnership.

Diploma Thesis from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,3 (A), RWTH Aachen University (International Economy / School of Marketing), language: English, abstract: Over the last years the number of business partnerships has increased significantly (e.g., Eden and Huxham, 2001; Mohr and Spekman, 1994; Teegen and Doh, 2002). There are various drivers for this kind of strategic re-orientation among companies. Whereas companies have previously relied on profitability of protected home markets, the changed economic climate1 has fostered collaboration between them (Bleeke and Ernst, 1993). Firms collaborate to master the challenges caused by these changes. At the same time they benefit from better access to new markets, pooling or swapping technology, sharing of risks, larger economies of scale in joint research and/or production, and economies of scope (e.g., Contractor and Lorange, 1988; Lorange and Roos, 1991). Business partnerships can be defined as purposive strategic relationships between independent firms who share compatible goals, strive for mutual benefit, and acknowledge a high level of mutual interdependency (Mohr and Spekman, 1994, p. 135). Examples of organizational forms which support this kind of cooperation are strategic alliances, joint ventures, licence agreements, research and development (R&D) partnerships, and franchising (e.g., Borys and Jemison, 1989; Ring and Van de Ven, 1992). Ring and Van de Ven (1994) explain that business partnerships emerge, evolve and dissolve over time. In spite of the benefits which business partnerships can contribute to a company's success, reported failure rates range between 30 and 70 percent (e.g., Bleeke and Ernst, 1993; Das and Teng, 2000; Visioni, 2002). Differences between collaborating companies in terms of aims, cultures, structures, procedures, languages, power, and accountabilities are said to make the effective management of business partnerships not easy and are admittedly unerringly negative influencing factors on their success (e.g., Eden and Huxham 2001). [...] 1 e.g., emergence of intense global competition, economic integration among countries, formation of regional markets, technological innovation, and shortening of product life cycles (cf. Olson and Singsuwan, 1997). 2 Partnerships attributes are, for example, trust, interdependency, commitment, culture, cooperation, and coordination. 3 Communication behaviour: quality, participation, and information sharing. 4 Conflict Resolution techniques: joint problem solving, persuasion, domination, and harsh words.

This book highlights the work of faculty in many disciplines who have connected service-learning with their teaching and scholarship. The challenge of Christian scholarship in service-learning is to use the scholarly tool of our disciplines, with perspective and goals originating from the faith tradition, to describe how community connections enable us to be agents of renewal in society.
