Trauma and Coping Mechanisms among Assemblies of God World Missionaries
Trauma, from the fall of Adam and Eve forward impacts human lives in overpowering ways. A review of the lives of biblical personalities and missionaries reveals shared traumatic experiences. In addition to the stress of cultural adjustment, missionaries often live in contexts of violence, political unrest, economic instability, natural disasters, and relational conflict. The examined biblical personalities faced similar issues, yet a majority coped with trauma in ways that led to well-being. The proposed biblical theory of well-being assists missionaries to move deeper in their trust of God by utilizing the coping skills of the biblical personalities including asking God for help, lifting up their praise and worship to God, standing on a sense of call, working with God, lamenting/venting to God in healthy ways, embracing a theology of suffering, and accepting assistance from friends and family. The adherence to the constructs of this theory protects missionaries from the ravages of psychological trauma by avoiding negative coping and developing positive coping skills that lead to trusting in the only One who gives hope in seemingly hopeless situations.

Weaving a Tapestry
This book offers a paradigm of loneliness in relationship to spiritual well-being and communal support for women belonging to religious congregations. Many changes within religious life have had a profound impact upon community living, the nature of ministry, and the life styles of religious women. The author consults The Spiritual Well-Being Scale, the UCLA Loneliness Scale, and demographic data to provide a statistical analysis of the impact of spiritual well-being and communal support upon loneliness. She shows that spiritual well-being, for many, appeared to enable the individual to cope in loneliness, drawing on an intimate relationship with God. She also discusses the many transitions in religious life as a result of Vatican II and the uncertainty of how religious life will look in the future.

The Future of Religious Orders in the United States
For religious orders to continue as a vital force in the Catholic Church, in the United States, and in the world, they must change in dramatic and significant ways. Fidelity to the mission of the founder and responsiveness to critical and unmet human needs are fundamental to the ongoing mission of religious orders. New forms of poverty and the genuine opportunity to serve new and emerging groups of those most in need certainly challenge the ability of any single group to respond in today's world. Since the Second Vatican Council, the changes in the Roman Catholic Church in the United States have effected the way members of religious orders live and work more thoroughly than any other single population. According to National Catholic Reporter, this comprehensive three-year study, which was funded by Lilly Endowment Inc., is one of the most significant occurrances within the Catholic Church since that Council was convened almost 30 years ago.
