The Necessity of Monastic Asceticism: A Case for Retrieval in Contemporary Evangelicalism
Get PDFWithin the contemporary evangelical church, there is often little discussion of asceticism despite an emphasis on spiritual disciplines and formation. This article argues that not only does the evangelical church need to embrace and adopt ascetic practices, but these should be based in monastic asceticism, based around the practices of poverty, chastity and obedience. The article first puts forward suggestions as to why the evangelical church does not embrace asceticism, in spite of it being part of its heritage, but then moves to a constructive argument, using an array of ecumenical sources, demonstrating that a monastic asceticism is a biblical asceticism and should be a fundamental feature in evangelical faith and practice
Dissolving Discrimination: A Study and Critique of Sexual Violence Against Disabled Individuals in Sub-Saharan Africa
Get PDFThis paper examines and critiques current sexual violence against disabled individuals in Sub-Saharan Africa by evaluating the social and cultural stigma present that perpetuates cycles of vulnerabilities. Currently, women and girls with disabilities are disproportionally at risk for sexual violence as economic, cultural, and political structures in many Sub-Saharan African countries fail to recognize and adequately protect those with disabilities. Incorporating evidence from journals, books, reviews, and studies, this paper demonstrates the need for non-government and governments actors to recognize the need to provide protection and trauma-informed care for disabled individuals

Before the Mist
No full textThis is a scene from an excerpt of a short story where a boy’s dad gets lost at sea, and so the boy sets out in a rowboat to find him. In this particular scene, he comes upon a wall mist, and after pausing for a moment, decides to enter. While within the mist, he meets a sea creature, and shortly after rows into a violent storm when he almost drowns. But his father’s voice saves him, and eventually, the boy returns home without his father.

A Mother\u27s Honor
No full textUpon reflection of the short story I read, I was struck by the overall theme that a mother is like a saint in her constant acts of selflessness and love. Much like a saint, a mother focuses on the care of others, and she does her best to balance the peace and chaos that surrounds her life through her deep love and heart for service.
