Remarkable Lives : Maddi Faith in conversation with Jerome Carson.
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to provide a profile of Maddi Faith.
In this single case study, Maddi gives a short background and the origins of her mental health issues and is then interviewed by Jerome.
Maddi tells us how her problems developed in her childhood and of the journey she has been on since.
Single case studies provide a single perspective. Yet are they of any less value than a commentary by an academic? On the contrary many offer unique insights into how we provide services for people with mental health problems, and of better ways to help them.
Maddi raises the issue of “falling between services,” with the result that the individual concerned does not receive the help they need.
The persistent stigma of mental health problems is an issue that will need to be addressed for decades if it is to be overcome. Personal witness is vital in tackling this issues. Maddi has already done a lot to address this through her work at University.
The Trust the second author worked for, for many years used to have a staff “Made a Difference” award. Maddi surely deserves such an award for her own efforts to develop our understanding of the realities of mental health problems
Leadership development in a faith-based non-profit organisation using a relational leadership model: A case study
No full textThis paper describes a case study of a Leadership Development Program (LDP) which has been developed and conducted at a large faith-based non-profit organization providing aged and community care in Australia. Walter Wright's Relational Leadership model which used insights from Jude, Philemon and Colossians was adopted by the organization. Started as a pilot in 2003 the LDP was implemented in 2007 and has been run regularly since then. The LDP was systematically evaluated by an independent researcher recently. The evaluation concluded that the program has been effective and recommended that it continue with some minor modifications. The organization in which this program was developed is a partner in an Australian Research Council (ARC) linkage grant started in 2010 between three universities and two faith-based non-profit organizations providing aged care and community care. This paper has been written by four researchers involved in the linkage grant. Four interviews on participants in the LDP were conducted by the authors to evaluate the effectiveness of the leadership program in order to prepare this paper. The study was carried out to clarify the research aim for the principal author (who is a PhD student in the ARC grant) by trying to understand what the LDP program was aiming to achieve and to be presented at the Spirituality at Work conference at the University of Arkansas

The Evangelicalism of Alexander Carson
No full textThis dissertation examines the evangelicalism of Alexander Carson (ca. 1776- 1844) using David Bebbington's evangelical quadrilateral--biblicism, crucicentrism, conversionism, and activism--as a framework. Chapter 1 gives an introduction to the study and a biographical sketch of Carson's life and ministry.
Chapter 2 examines Carson's view of Scripture in the areas of inspiration, Bible translation, and the transmission of Scripture. Carson's views on the inspiration of Scripture and the principles by which it was to be translated were given within the context of the theological controversies in which he was involved.
Chapter 3 examines Carson's view of the atonement. It looks at his understanding of humanity's sin, divine justice and mercy, God's sovereignty, and the completed nature of the atonement.
Chapter 4 is a study of Carson's understanding of how people are converted. The chapter discusses his views on the definition of saving faith, the relation between faith and works, the conversion experience, and the divine role in conversion.
Chapter 5 looks at Carson's views on evangelism in four areas: the use of the Bible in evangelism, the importance of religious liberty to evangelize, the role of divine providence in evangelism, and the Christian's duty to evangelize.
Although the four characteristics of evangelicalism set forth by Bebbington do not include other areas of theology important to Carson, such as his views on baptism and church order, the quadrilaterial does focus on what Carson believed to be central to Christianity, namely, the gospel. Therefore, considering Bebbington's quadrilateral to be a sound framework for understanding Carson's view of the gospel, the thesis of this study is that Carson's belief in the Bible as a verbally and completely inspired text was an infallible source for his understanding of the gospel as being centered upon the atonement, effective through justification by faith alone, and the motivation for evangelism
Faith-based programs
No full textFaith-based programs are one of the oldest forms of correctional treatment in prisons around the world. In the United States (US), faith-based programming was the original and primary form of treatment. The use of faith-based programming in the US was reduced greatly with the rise of the medical model of inmate rehabilitation in the mid-twentieth century. Recently, however, faith-based programming has experienced revitalization with the Charitable Choice provision of the 1996 Welfare Reform and development of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives in 2002 (since renamed to the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships). Consequently, faith-based organizations are now allowed to compete for federal grants once reserved exclusively for non-religious organizations. As such, the increased presence and use of faith-based programming in correctional contexts has simultaneously continued a strong tradition and has renewed a long-standing debate in corrections.Encyclopedia EntryPre-prin
A Documentation Approach for Faith Community Nursing

Documentation systems used by faith community nurses (FCNs) need to be accurate, yet simple and concise. This article presents an approach to documenting FCN activities, the provided care, and outcomes of that care, while emphasizing the use of standardized nursing language.</jats:p
Righteousness in the Concept of Covenantal Nomism: An Exegetical Study of the Psalms of Solomon and Paul's Letters
No full textThis thesis is an investigation of E. P. Sanders’ concept of Covenantal Nomism as a description of the “pattern of religion” of Judaism. It has a particular focus on his argument that the religion of first-century Palestinian Judaism was not legalistic. This thesis seeks to show that his argument is evidently correct by taking the Psalms of Solomon as a case study to test whether its pattern of religion is rightly described as Covenantal Nomism. It offers a comparative analysis of the Psalms of Solomon and Pauline theology, focusing on the understanding of the ‘getting in’ and ‘staying in’ stages of their soteriologies. These are analysed using the concepts of ‘monergism’ and ‘synergism.’
The thesis proceeds to examine their theology of äéêáéïóýíç and äéêáéïóýíç èåïõ̂; in association with the concept of Covenantal Nomism. The results of this examination are three main findings, which are as follows. Firstly, the ‘getting in’ stage of the Psalms of Solomon is monergistic because God’s gracious election alone is involved, while the ‘getting in’ stage of Paul’s soteriology is synergistic because faith in Christ Jesus is needed as a response to God’s justifying activity. Secondly, in the ‘staying in’ stage, the soteriologies of both the Psalms of Solomon and Paul are synergistic, since obedience to the Law or ‘obedience of faith’ is required to maintain the covenant relationship with God. Thirdly, both the Psalms of Solomon and Paul’s letters show a similar view, which is that God’s discipline is fundamental to helping the righteous grow in their dependence on Him and rescuing those who sin from destruction. Both agree that God on the Day of Judgment will reward the righteous who obey, and punish the sinners and the righteous who disobey and choose not to repent.
The author concludes, from the findings, that contemporary Christians must take care to continue in the obedience of faith and the renewal of their minds through the empowering of the Spirit in order to ensure their continual growth into Christ’s likeness and to avoid punishment on the Day of Judgment
Faith in the Year Of Faith
No full textJ. Ratzinger/Benedict XVI as a pope and author of the idea promulgating the Year of Faith is presented in the paper with his concept of faith. The striking element of Ratzinger’s theology is a personal approach to faith. Faith as an encounter triggering conversion is a fully positive and existencial experience of God, who engages the whole person and personality (unitotality of faith), the reason and love. This attitude of faith builds human praxis and shapes interpersonal relations. Here comes the phenomenon of the Church, which the Pope treats as a source and place of faith, especially with reference to liturgy, owing to which the true relation with the Trune God is established and developed.J.
