Multifaith Chaplaincy in the Workplace

How Chaplains Can Support Organizations and their Employees Fiona Stewart-Darling APR 2017 | £16.99 | $27.95 | 176pp | pb | World | ISBN-9781785920295 | eISBN-9781784502799

Shows the difference multifaith workplace chaplaincies can create in business communities.

As the global marketplace grows and becomes more complex, increasing stress is placed upon employees. Businesses are acknowledging this change in work habits by adapting the work place to offer support through multifaith chaplaincy. Multifaith chaplaincy is based on developing relationships of trust between diverse faith communities and the public workplace. Through the experience of starting the first multifaith chaplaincy in Canary Wharf, the author offers insights into current conditions and challenges of chaplaincy in the business community.

Writing as an Anglican priest, Fiona Stewart-Darling shows the importance of chaplaincy teams drawing on different faith traditions. This book is an important contribution to the emerging debate around the role of chaplaincy in faith and business communities. This research will be of particular interest to those working in or setting up chaplaincies in different contexts such as hospitals, prisons, town centre chaplaincies working with businesses and business leaders, particularly those involved in diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

A Christian Theology of Chaplaincy

Edited by John Caperon, Andrew Todd and James Walters Foreword by Martin Seeley SEP 2017 | £18.99 | $24.95 | 176pp | pb | World | ISBN-9781785920905 | eISBN-9781784503536

A theological exploration of the growing ministry of chaplaincy.

Chaplaincy is a rapidly growing ministry, but one that has been the centre of little theological discussion. Focusing on understanding what chaplaincy is and how it is exercised in different contexts, this book intends to support the work of chaplains by providing a theological examination of their ministry.

This book explores the role of chaplains and the benefits of chaplaincy as a form of ministry as well as an examination of the personal characteristics and disposition best suited to serving as a chaplain. Chaplaincy and Christian Theology considers the nature of chaplaincy in public spaces and the implications of Christian theology within this ministry. Essential reading for chaplains, students of theology, and anyone involved in Christian ministry and Christian theology.

“A uniquely rich source of guidance for those on the journey to recognise and integrate faith more fully as a key ingredient in our working lives and in our capacity to contribute to society.”

– Sir David Walker, former Chairman of the Multi-faith Chaplaincy, Canary Wharf

“This excellent and varied collection of essays confirms chaplaincy studies’ place at the vanguard of practical and public theology. In affirming the mission of God as beginning in the world beyond the church, it challenges us, in turn, to become a more worldly church through the practices of discernment, participation and witness.”

Shows how psychologically informed spiritual care can meet the needs of patients in health care settings.

Meeting the psychological and spiritual needs of patients is vital to supporting their wellbeing in health care settings. To develop an effective, holistic and inclusive approach to care within predominantly medical health care models, practitioners across health care disciplines must work collaboratively to understand the complex, significant relationships between their patients’ medical, therapeutic and spiritual requirements.

Bridging the gap between care disciplines, the book presents an innovative vision of patient wellbeing enriched by a synthesis of psychological, spiritual and medical approaches. Prominent practitioners from disciplines including nursing and psychiatry demonstrate how their psycho-spiritual approaches adapt to the patients’ emotional, spiritual and religious requirements.

A thoughtful examination of the roles played by chaplaincy and spiritual care in hospices.

Hospice chaplains have traditionally played a unique part in palliative care, providing human compassion and support to help ease life’s final chapter. This book thoughtfully tackles the question at the heart of modern hospice chaplaincy: do chaplains have a distinctive role in an increasingly secular society?

A comprehensive look at why and how this work needs to be done, each chapter will be a rich resource for hospice chaplains and anyone working within a hospice multi-disciplinary team.

Taking the form of reflections by chaplains and other professionals, they examine the tension between sacred and secular space, explore how spiritual care works in a changing society, and look at what voice a chaplain has within the hospice team.

Essential reading for chaplains, this insightful book reflects on the work undertaken by hospice chaplaincies and explains why they continue to be a vital resource for end-of-life care.

will be required reading for the rapidly growing num“berThisofbook health care practitioners and trainees who want to know more about the contribution psychologically informed spiritual care can make to psychological health in the UK. Accessible and engaging, it provides an excellent overview of the development of psycho-spiritual care in the context of holistic health. Harrison and his colleagues invite the reader on an important journey, grounded in innovative research and illustrated with fascinating case vignettes, which gives a voice to the lived experience of patients and health care staff alike.

“

This book explores the chaplain’s unique role and the privilege of being involved in the lives of those who approach death. Varied contributors helpfully probe the inner life of the chaplain and her relationships with staff and volunteers. It explores the changing role of the hospice chaplain, but has great relevance for all involved in End-of-Life care. I wholeheartedly commend it to all who have an interest in healthcare chaplaincy.

Assessing and Communicating the Spiritual Needs of Children in Hospital A new guide for healthcare professionals and chaplains Alister Bull NOV 2016 | £16.99 | $27.95 | 144pp | pb | world | isbn-9781849056373 | eISBN-9781784501167

Presents a new and effective way of assessing and communicating a child’s emotional and spiritual needs in hospital.

What is meant by ‘spiritual care’? How can we assess and communicate the needs of a child in hospital effectively if we each have conflicting interpretations of ‘spiritual’?

This book proposes that we use a language of ‘connectedness’, which can fully express a child’s feelings about, and understanding of, their hospital experience, rather than relying on religious or medical language. In doing so, assessments can be made purely on information given by the child and their emotional and spiritual needs can be communicated between professionals using a shared professional language, regardless of their own faith, religion or secular outlook. The book fully explains the concept of connectedness and outlines a practical assessment tool that uses

play and storytelling to connect with the child and gather information about their hospital experience, their relationships with others while in the hospital setting, their feelings about their current state and their needs.

This important book is both practical and inspirational. It of“fers a framework for empowering children to speak about their spiritual concerns and, what is much more difficult, enabling practitioners to hear what they are saying. The outcomes of this communication are theologically transforming.

A contemporary guide to discussing existential issues of death and dying in spiritual care.

Without an appropriate spiritual care model, it can be difficult to discuss existential questions about death and dying with people who are confronted with life-threatening or incurable diseases. This book offers a simple framework for interpreting existential questions with patients and helping them to cope in end-of-life situations, with illustrative examples from practice.

Building on the medieval Ars moriendi tradition, the author introduces a contemporary art of dying model. It shows how to discuss existential questions in a post-Christian context, without moralising death or telling people how they should feel. Written in a straightforward manner, this is a helpful resource for chaplains and clergy, and those with no formal spiritual training, including counsellors, doctors, nurses, allied healthcare workers and other professionals who come into contact with patients in hospitals and hospices.

Healthcare professionals reveal how they meet patients’ spiritual needs in medical settings.

Patients who are facing illness and uncertainty often find themselves reflecting on the bigger questions in life, and the core beliefs or principles they live by. These convictions, religious or otherwise, are integral to a patient’s identity, and consequently to their most fundamental emotional and spiritual needs. Clinicians have proved that, by recognising and working with their patients’ spiritual requirements, they have been able to significantly improve their patients’ experience in the medical setting.

In this book, these select clinicians reveal their medical perspective on the importance of bringing together the body and soul for effective healthcare. Sharing their own personal styles of enquiry into individuals’ requirements, they explain how they identify their patients’ needs, and how they utilise this knowledge to advise the rest of their team and enhance their ability to provide excellent, attentive care.

How allied health professionals can contribute to improve spiritual care provision.

Providing spiritual care is an important part in administering person-centred holistic care. This textbook explains why it is so important for any allied health professional (AHP) to be involved in, or assist with, the provision of spiritual care for patients and how to do so. Each chapter addresses a specific field of allied health practice, such as speech-language therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and other allied heath areas. The contributors

explain how spiritual care can be applied in their specialist area, making it relevant for all AHPs. With contributions from leading academics and practitioners in allied health practice, this book will help AHPs understand how to give patients the complete care that they need, making this text essential reading for AHP practitioners, clinical supervisors, researchers, academics, tertiary lecturers and allied health students.

…CONTINUED The Spiritual Dimension of Ageing, Second Edition

Foreword by James H. Gunn

Comprehensive second edition presenting expansive new research on the spirituality of ageing.

What does it mean to grow old? What makes later life meaningful? What gives a frail and isolated or institutionalised older person their sense of wholeness and self?

This substantially updated new edition of Elizabeth MacKinlay’s seminal text presents the latest theory and research to explore these questions in depth, pointing the way towards new ways of thinking about and engaging with the spirituality of ageing. Encompassing the findings of a new research study on baby boomer spirituality, the book presents a wider and more comprehensive view of ageing and spirituality, concluding that spirituality for the baby boomer generation is every bit as important as for the cohorts before them, but also fundamentally different, with fewer being practicing members of a religious faith. Drawing on indepth interviews with older people, and containing many new ideas whilst also addressing the foundational theories and questions essential to scholarship in this field, the book also includes a new and timely chapter on the spirituality of older people in our increasingly multicultural and multifaith societies.

How to communicate the spiritual needs of patients and integrate these needs with other aspects of healthcare.

Bringing medical and spiritual perspectives together, this book shows how to form clear notes on patients’ spiritual experiences for medical records to inform individual care provision.

Magnificent work – a must-read for healthcare professionals.

“Hilsman’s artful analysis of spirituality fills a gap in the caring professions’ knowledge base. Providing insight into healing, Hilsman’s theory draws the reader into recognizing what makes up the human spirit from surprising angles.

Foreword by H.E. Mr Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser

An exploration of religious attitudes to dying, death, grief and remembrance among the many mainstream faiths in America.

In this interfaith book Lucinda Mosher investigates different understandings of destiny, loss, death, and remembrance in America’s many religions. Using stories and interviews with a variety of religious adherents and health professionals, the book wrestles with questions such as: How can our religion guide us in making decisions about certain kinds of medical treatment options? What religion-related issues would it be helpful for a healthcare provider to know? How do different religious traditions help manage our grief?

In a globalized society religious traditions sit alongside each other as never before, and the need for religious literacy and multifaith chaplaincy is increasingly recognised. By looking at multireligious America, this book provides an essential exploration of different attitudes to death, helping members of all faith communities to become more literate with each other’s religious traditions.

The book is coming at the right time with a powerful message of “hope.

By featuring for the first time ever in Europe the richness and the depth of the Amman Message, it gives to everyone - policy makers, media, the public - the tools for a new understanding about Islam and the Muslim World and their true nature. An inspiring call for dialogue, respect and peace.

POST-BREXIT BRITAIN

TO IMMIGRATION POLICY FOR A

EDITED BY BEN RYAN An exploration of the issues around immigration post-Brexit, grounded in Christian theology.

Produced by Theos, a Christian think tank with an excellent reputation, this collection of short essays explores issues of immigration post-Brexit.

The issue of immigration is one of the most contentious issues in contemporary Western societies. Views among people of faith and faith communities are diverse, and many religious people are simply confused and disorientated as to what to think and how to act in a way that is ethical.

Ben Ryan has drawn together some leading writers and thinkers on this subject, who reflect a range of different approaches and perspectives, all of which are grounded in Christian theology and ethics, yet also diverse in the conclusion they draw. While there have been numerous humanitarian appeals around the needs of migrants and asylum seekers, there have been very few ethically and theologically informed interventions with regard to long term perspectives and the role of faith communities in contributing to and influencing public opinion, making this a fascinating and timely collection of short essays.

Modern Britain is diverse and this is an exemplar of imaginative “interfaith work from Leicester. Now with much experience of changing contexts, the authors maturely celebrate what is possible whilst addressing the hard challenges. Here we see some next steps to try out as we attempt living well together.

Highlighting and exploring the positive contribution religion can and does make to resolving conflict and promoting peace.

The question ‘who is my neighbour?’ challenges the way we see ourselves as well as the way we see others. Especially in situations where we feel conflicted between our own self-identity and common identity within a wider society.

Historically, religion has contributed to this inner conflict by creating ‘us versus them’ mentalities. Challenging this traditional view, this volume examines how religions and religious communities can use their resources, methodology and praxis to encourage peace-making.

An exploration of how Christians can live as citizens in majority Muslim states without compromising their faith.

For Christians living as a persecuted minority in the Middle East, the question of whether their allegiance should lie with their faith or with the national communities they live in is a difficult one.

This collection of essays aims to reconcile this conflict of allegiance by looking at the biblical vision of citizenship and showing that Christians can live and work as citizens of the state without compromising their beliefs and make a constructive contribution to the life of the countries they live in.

Many Christians who are able to flee are leaving their homes to escape danger. This tragedy requires serious investigation of its roots and causes. What better place to begin (or continue) the search for understanding than this book on Christian citizenship in the Middle East. It does more than assess the multi-dimensional crisis. Its authors point constructively to ways Christians can hold fast to their faith while making the wisest decisions possible to exercise their citizenship.

National leaders discuss why Religious Education matters.

Although Religious Education (RE) is a legal requirement in UK schools, it is an oft-neglected and misunderstood subject. It is important to seriously re-think this key subject at this time of low religious literacy and rising extremism, to protect communities from the consequences of hatred and misunderstanding. This book promotes a public discussion of what exactly is needed from a new model of RE within our education system to benefit wider society.

In this edited collection, the chapters are diverse and future-facing, informed by theory and practice and written by a variety of key leading practitioners and emerging national leaders in RE. It covers the most pressing and urgent issues for RE such as hate speech, educational reform, and the weakening of moderate religious institutions. Linking the chapters together with recurring themes and joining passages, the editors create a flowing and coherent discussion about the state of RE and offer choices and routes to consider in terms of its future course.

Shows how the silence and solitude practiced by hermits of different faith traditions can make an active contribution to interfaith dialogue.

Drawing on his experience of travelling to some of India’s holy places, the life and work of writers like Thomas Merton, Charles de Foucauld and Abishaktanda and being himself a Benedictine hermit and Professor of Divinity at the University of St Andrews, Mario Aguilar opens up new possibilities for dialogue between three of the world’s major religions in today’s world. He shows how his own experience of an eremitic life has brought him into deep communion with pilgrims of other faiths, be it through shared silence or listening to each other’s experience, through reading sacred scriptures together, through poetry or interfaith worship that draws on practices and texts from Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity.

This diverse and accessible series of reflections provides an “excellent route map navigating the complex terrain that is contemporary RE. It offers a range of radical solutions guaranteed to prompt debate about the future of the ‘RE space’ in a post-religious, post-secular contemporary world.

An exploration of the importance of ritual in a secular world.

The growing absence of meaningful ritual in contemporary Western societies has led to cohesive research on the history of ritualizing behaviour in different cultures. The relatively new field of ritology, which includes neuroscience, anthropology, cultural psychology, psychotherapy and even art and performance, raises questions about the significance and practice of ritual today. This book is the first of its kind to discuss the importance of secular rituals for cultural and personal growth. Using a transdisciplinary approach, a range of contributors provide an authoritative account of the science and history of rituals and their role in creating healthy societies in the modern age.

Ritual has been an overlooked asset to the healing of trauma and to restoring broken connections. The diverse contributors to this volume make this a widespread and accessible work for all those interested in ritual and social trauma.

Crafting Secular Ritual

Exploration how the partition of India has affected and is still affecting relationships between Islam and Hinduism.

In a time of schism, violence and forced migration, how can God be understood? With his latest book, Catholic Benedictine hermit Mario Aguilar explores the religious identities of Hindus and Muslims in the aftermath of the 1947 partition of India.

Founded on a fascination with what unites rather than divides religions, Aguilar offers a theological reading of a major event in twentieth century history that is both creative and constructive.

An original theological reflection on the nature of human waking and sleeping in relation to God. Sleep is a subject which demands theological attention, because of the central place it occupies in contemporary reflection on what it is to be human.

Offering original research, this book investigates sleep for the first time from a theological position, looking at all key questions that a theological treatment of sleep raises, including issues of identity and personhood, sleep and mortality, resurrection, and renewal and healing.

Outside of religious institutions there has not been much pub“lished guidance on how to create rituals. Beginning in the mid20th century though, wedding planners, along with celebrant, humanist, and funeral societies, began to fill the void. Half a century later, DIY rituals can still be awkward, embarrassing, or meaningless. This book takes a decisive step in the right direction.

It gives practical advice to readers for crafting rites of passage thoughtfully and creatively.

STUDIES IN RELIGION AND THEOLOGY Exploring Moral Injury in Sacred Texts

A collection of essays looking at moral injury through critical engagement with sacred texts from different world faiths.

This collection of essays explores the ambiguities of personal culpability among both perpetrators and victims of violence and the suffering involved in accepting personal agency in trauma. Contributors provide fresh and compelling readings of texts from different faith traditions and use their findings to reflect on real-life strategies for recovery from violations of core moral beliefs and their consequences such as shame, depression and addiction. With interpretations of the sacred texts, contributors reflect on the concerns of the morally-injured today and offer particular aspects of healing from their communities as support, making this a groundbreaking contribution to the study of moral injury and trauma.

A challenging Christian theological perspective on the spiritual experience of people with profound intellectual disabilities.

Jill Harshaw expertly argues that our thinking of spiritual life needs to start not with our assumptions about people who are unable to speak for themselves, but with what we can know about God. Stimulating a much-needed discussion, this book explains why we need to respect individuals with profound intellectual disabilities as spiritual persons, and stop seeing them simply as care-receivers or uncomfortable reminders of human vulnerability. Calling for a more critical approach in practical theology, this book invites a deeper, genuinely inter-disciplinary dialogue between new and traditional theological fields, and asks why, after more than 30 years of intellectual disability theology, the impact on church life remains minimal so that debates around the right to basic inclusion continue to dominate. The questions raised in this book not only move the discussion forward, but will spark a change on how the Church approaches inclusiveness.

A history of Christian-Hindu dialogue in India and its wider influence on interfaith relations.

In late 20th-century India, Christian-Hindu dialogue was forever transformed following the opening of Shantivanam, the first Christian ashram in the country. Mario I. Aguilar brings together the histories of the five pioneers of Christian-Hindu dialogue and their involvement with the ashram, to explore what they learnt and taught about communion between the two religions, and the wide ranging consequences of their work.

Ultimately, this book demonstrates the impact of this history on contemporary dialogue between Christians and Hindus, and how both faiths can continue to learn and grow together.

Makes the case for pastoral care in a mission-minded church.

Making the case for the relevance of pastoral care today, this book explores the role of pastoral care through the prism of music. Using musical analogies, the author provides a new way of understanding and practising pastoral care, grounded in practical theology. Challenging overemphasis on mission, he shows that pastoral care remains essential to the life of the church, especially when engaging with extreme situations such as dying, suffering or war, and considers the role of pastoral carers in the specific pastoral encounter and in the life of the church in general.

This is a fascinating journey into Christian-Hindu interfaith “encounters.

The story of Abhishiktananda, Bede Griffiths, and finally Raimondo Panikar is truly fascinating and Professor Aguilar has written a deeply engaging book that tells the story and develops the theological issues entailed. Many people have waited for this history to be told for some time and here it is: a must read for anyone interested in interfaith dialogue and the history of Christian encounters with other religions.

– Professor Gavin Flood FBA, Senior Research Fellow, Campion Hall, Oxford University

Gregory Clifton-Smith’s book is a rare and exceptional contri“bution to the field of pastoral theology – imaginative, inspired, creative and clever. The arena of pastoral theology is normally dominated by books that focus on reflection, applications or techniques, so it is refreshing to find a profound volume such as Performing Pastoral Care, offering such an original insight into how pastoral care can be both imagined and practised. Gregory Clifton-Smith’s book is both wise and winsome, and will repay careful reading for all those engaged in mission and ministry.

isbn-9781785923531 | eISBN-9781784506896

A simple yet profound guide to establishing a transformative and sustaining Zen meditation practice.

Zen master Julian Daizan Skinner guides the reader through a sequence of meditation techniques that can safely lead even a complete novice through to advanced levels. Based on his own long experience of the Rinzai Zen tradition, as taught by the great seventeenth-century masters, Hakuin and Bankei, Daizan highlights the key points for success and addresses the pitfalls. Structured around a traditional teaching framework called “The two wings of a bird,” Daizan clearly lays-out how these methods build and combine to create a transformative and sustaining practice.

The book contains an extremely useful section describing the experiences of western practitioners who have successfully applied this framework within the pressures of modern life. The final section features key source texts in translation, making the book a complete introduction and guide to Zen meditation. The work of a master, speaking at a deep level, with utmost simplicity.

A guide to the key ingredients of successful communication in helping dialogues for clergy, nurses, therapists, and others.

Focusing on how someone in need can best be helped, the author identifies the skills and honesty of the person who wants to help as key to how effective this can be. Looking in detail at the nature of boundaries, willingness to speak from a place of authenticity and to be honestly present to the experience of the individual person, and the sensitive and economical use of language, the author shows how people in a state of deep personal crisis can be richly helped. Taking the view that no set response is always right or always wrong, he argues strongly for the importance of going with what is spontaneous and real in the moment, and responding thoughtfully and with integrity to the experience of the person in need.

The book is an inspiration to develop deep awareness about the practice of encounter. Focusing on experiences of crisis and anxiety, the author provides many in-depth case examples, and sample scripts with actual questions and answers included. This short and deceptively simple book will raise awareness of, and broaden the range of, possible interventions for the open-minded reader.

This book contains a variety of tools geared towards self-development and optimising a helpful and supportive conversation in professional therapeutic settings or personal relationships.

This practical guide demonstrates how to use simple psychotherapeutic methods through supportive dialogues, which can be applied by anyone without any formal training. Written in easy language with real-life examples and practical exercises, this will serve as a handbook for highly sensitive people who provide help either on a professional or personal level.

Feelings are something we have, not something we are. Revealing the complexity of emotions such as happiness, anger, fear, and jealousy, and how these are based on our perception of other people, Ilse Sand offers her professional wisdom on the psychology of feelings.

A practical guide to understanding and overcoming the behaviours that hinder close relationships.

Everyone engages in self-protecting behaviours to some extent, but when these begin to take on the form of bad habits, they can be damaging. People often use self-protection strategies in love and relationships to mitigate potential pain or heartbreak.

This book considers the defence mechanisms inadvertently used to avoid closeness with other people, the inner self, and reality and any resulting distress from confrontation with these bodies.

This book will teach you how to recognise specific protective behaviours that hinder close relationships and why we engage in them. By understanding the source of these patterns and objectively considering the alternatives, the author will guide you on the path to overcome negative protection strategies and embrace positive relationships. With a foundation in psychology, this book will also be of interest to professional counsellors and therapists.

In exemplarily clear and easy-to-read language, without thera“peutic clichés, Ilse Sand takes readers through a cleansing bath for emotional mental hygiene. The book is highly recommended. ” – Bent Falk, psychotherapist MPF, M.Th.

A case for the inclusion of spiritual awareness as a cross-curricular element in the school syllabus.

David Hay argues for the inclusion of spiritual awareness as a cross-curricular element in the school syllabus to promote the development of morality and social cohesion. This stimulating book encourages new approaches to foster children’s spiritual development.

isbn-9781785920387 | eISBN-9781784502898

The first book to explore childhood spirituality through Buddhist teachings and thought.

Revealing how the spiritual insights and experiences of children and adolescents can uncover a deep and wise understanding of human life that is compatible with the Buddha’s teachings, this book will be of particular interest to professionals and academics in psychology, psychiatry, psychotherapy, education and religious studies.

The book begins by exploring the Buddha’s own childhood and the ‘divine child’ in Buddhism, a key archetype in Jungian psychology. The author defines the spirituality and religiosity of children and adolescents and identifies manifestations of spirituality in children, such as experiences of awe and wonder, and favourable conditions for spirituality, such as silence, nature, extreme conditions and mindfulness. Drawing on his own experience working with children in therapeutic practice, von Gontard discusses the parallels between spontaneous spirituality seen in childhood and the Buddha’s teachings.

GENERAL INTEREST

God-Curious Exploring Eternal Questions Stephen Cherry FEB 2017 | £8.99 | $13.95 | 128pp | pb | world | isbn-9781785921995 | eISBN-9781784504731

Why study theology? Stephen Cherry explores what engaging with theology has to offer curious minds.

In a world where religion refuses to expire, two responses predominate. The first, to retrench within the certainties of one’s native or adopted faith, questioning nothing; the second, to sneer and snarl from the secular side-lines. Here, Cherry offers an alternative for religious believer, agnostic, and atheist alike – to engage with the study of theology.

Confessing himself to be a reluctant theologian, Cherry puts forward three reasons why more people should take theology seriously – because it’s fascinating, fun and important. He suggests that genuine theology is the antidote to fundamentalism, contrasts the theological approaches of Jesus of Nazareth and Richard Dawkins, and introduces some of the biggest puzzles unravelled by theology.

Drawing people at all stages of life into a more serious engagement with the riches and delights of theology, it is a book for any who find themselves to be a little God-curious.

The Moral Heart of Public Service

“Pointing to theology as the disciplined, human and holistic way in which we explore the eternal questions that hover over every century.

The rumour of God that circles the book, implying that reality might be worthy of trust, is compelling and unignorable.

I hope this work will entice a new generation of theologians fit for purpose, imaginative in language, engagement and prayer.”

A timely challenge to revitalise the search for moral goodness in public life today.

Now more than ever, public servants must consider and reassess how to keep moral courage in public life alive. With ethical expectations and needs changing and government policies under increasing moral scrutiny, Claire Foster-Gilbert of Westminster Abbey Institute gathers a series of essays and lectures by herself and others, exploring the meaning of ‘moral code’ in today’s public service, and how it can be rekindled in practice.

Timely and timeless, the book is founded on traditional values of honesty, moral rigour and neighbourliness, and discusses how to champion stability, peace, community and virtue in contemporary public life. The authors, including eminent figures such as the former President of Ireland Mary McAleese, historian Peter Hennessy, former First Secretary of State William Hague and former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, explain how realistic compromises can be balanced with clear goal-setting for ideal results.

Forward-thinking and authoritative, this book will be a precious resource to anyone seeking to boost the circulation of integrity throughout all aspects of public life.

“We live in an age when noisy moralism is everywhere, and the news and social media have invaded the pulpit.

Quiet reflection on moral truth, however, and the noble sobriety of public administration, have become undervalued virtues. All power to a book like this in redressing that imbalance.”

Shows how Christianity can be intellectually credible and what can reasonably be believed.

How can Christianity remain a credible religion in our current era of scepticism?

Reviving the debates begun by John Robinson and the demythologisation movement over half a century ago, Sceptical Christianity considers the main reasons behind people’s religious scepticism and posits the question: what can be plausibly believed today?

Reiss discusses issues of such as the relationship between religion and science and assisted dying, much debated among people of faith and no faith,, and shows how they can be thought of in the best tradition of sceptical and critical Christianity. The result is a thought provoking book which sparks discussion on how the Church should behave and teach to retain its credibility.

People from all walks of life share their insights and wisdom on death and dying.

A Holocaust survivor whose mother collapsed and died only moments after they both registered as survivors, a death row inmate who has reclaimed his life through Buddhism, and a mother whose daughter was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer two days before her thirtieth birthday, among others, offer their perspectives on death and dying in this thought-provoking volume. Contributors from all walks of life share their thoughts on carefully selected writings, images and artwork that most accurately express death to them. Describing their unique experiences, they reveal that, beyond the heartache and the mystery, death teaches us all invaluable lessons about how we live our lives.

Are atheists immoral? Does religion cause conflict? Is religion always opposed to science? Boldly paving the way for constructive dialogue between atheists and religious believers, Paul Hedges tackles issues such as the treatment of women, the idea of a pure and empirical realm of ‘science’, and the association of religion with violence and warfare, debunking the myths and exposing the futility of the battle between ‘reason’ and ‘belief’. Threading deftly between atheism, the major world religions and smaller groups such as Paganism, Hedges demonstrates a vast scope for agreement and interaction between them which will call to every open-minded reader.

Reveals how psychiatric medication can impact spirituality.

Challenging an exclusively medical approach to mental health and illness, this book considers the impact psychiatric drugs can have on spirituality. In the last thirty years, a dramatic rise in medication as a treatment for mental illness has occurred in tandem with increasing numbers of people entering treatment with a spiritually-oriented understanding of their suffering. The unforeseen result is that some people taking psychiatric drugs are engaging with them in ways that can have a profound impact on the course and outcome of treatment. Based on interviews with people on psychiatric medication who regard spirituality as significant in their lives, this book reveals how medication can be perceived as both helpful and harmful to spirituality.

Exploring the relationship between spiritual accompaniment and counselling to provide better therapeutic and pastoral care.

Advocating the importance of addressing the spiritual dimension of care in areas such as mental health and social care, this book promotes a synthesis of pastoral guidance and psychological counselling. The chapters offer insight to the healing role spirituality and prayer can play when counselling for trauma, sexual abuse or loss of a loved one. Whether discussing training counsellors to be spiritually literate, or exploring how spiritual accompaniers can take a psychologically-informed approach, all the contributors bring their extensive experience to bear working with spiritual and psychological issues.

Societal debate about psychiatric drugs usually focuses on There is today a growing interest in the interface between “whether the drugs are “effective” or do more “good than harm”. “counselling, psychotherapy, and spiritual accompaniment. What In this well-written, thoughtful book, Lynne Vanderpot explores the effects of psychiatric medications through a different lens: how do the medications affect one’s subjective experience of being alive, and more particularly, one’s internal experience of a spiritual life?

Foreword by Michael Cornwall

How spiritual accompaniment and counselling can inform each other, to improve the spiritual dimension of care across professions.

The contributors, who each work with spiritual issues, either explicitly as spiritual directors or accompaniers, or as an implicit part of their therapeutic work, offer a psychologically-informed approach to Spiritual Accompaniment and Direction, and to working with others on a spiritual level more generally.

They explore what it means to be attuned to the spiritual process of another, discuss what makes an effective relationship in Spiritual Accompaniment and counselling, and consider how best to work with spiritual crisis, spiritual abuse, and pain. The unconscious process informing the work, forgiveness, changing spiritual needs over the life-span, and models of supervision that can inform the practice of Spiritual Accompaniment are also explored.

Gubi argues that philosophically, all counselling can be regarded as prayer, and with considered ethical awareness, prayer can be integrated ethically into counselling when working with people of faith.

Peter Madsen Gubi, PhD, is a Moravian and holds Masters degrees in Education, Counselling and Applied Theology. He is a BACP Accredited Counsellor and a BACP Accredited Supervisor in Private Practice. Currently he is Principal Lecturer in Counselling in the School of Health and Post-Graduate Medicine at the University of Central Lancashire, UK.

Exploring an alternative view of sadness and depression, the author looks at how sadness is perceived by religious individuals.

Revealing a tension between the medical model of depression and the very different language of theology, this book explores how religious people and communities understand severe sadness, their coping mechanisms and their help-seeking behaviours.

Drawing from her study of practicing Catholics, contemplative monks and nuns, priests and laypeople studying theology, the author describes how symptoms that might otherwise be described as pathological and meet diagnostic criteria for a depressive disorder are considered by some religious individuals to be normal and valued experiences. She explains how sadness fits into the ‘Dark Night of the Soul’ narrative – an active transformation of emotional distress into an essential ingredient for self-reflection and spiritual growth – and how sadness with a recognised cause is seen to ‘make sense’, whereas sadness without a cause may be seen to warrant psychiatric consultation.

Gubi is not just giving his own opinion, but has done a tremen“dous amount of research on the subject. He defines spirituality (all spirituality, not just Christian.) and he reflects on the psychological impact of prayer and its ethical use.

It is a very comprehensive book for those who want, like Gubi, to introduce spirituality and prayer into mainstream counselling and psychotherapy practice as an accepted intervention with the benefits and dangers that any intervention poses. And it is an encouragement for all who have been using prayer all along, but felt rather alone in it and not sure about sharing this, even with their supervisors.

Being able to offer support to the bereaved is an important part of many frontline professions, such as nurses, teachers, funeral directors and anything in between. Yet very little theoretical information about grief has filtered down into mainstream knowledge, and what has is often misinterpreted.

Giving an accessible introduction to modern day grief theory, this book is the perfect guide to grief for the lay reader, or griever curious to how their grief works. Debunking commonly believed myths with information on how grief can vary from person to person, advice on communicating with the bereaved and details on the different kinds of grief, this book is an essential read for anyone working with the bereaved.

A counsellor shares her experience of working with bereaved parents to develop understanding about the nature of continuing bonds with their child.

For bereaved parents the development of a continuing bond with the child who has died is a key element in their grieving and in how they manage the future. Using her experience of working in a children’s hospital as a counsellor with bereaved parents, Catherine Seigal looks at how continuing bonds are formed, what facilitates and sustains them and what can undermine them. She reflects on what she learned about the counsellor’s role supporting parents in extremely distressing situations.

Truthful, grounded, intense, emotionally accurate, and ulti“mately spiritual in its sensibilities, I cannot recommend it too highly. ” – Andrew Cooper, Professor of Social Work at
