Religious Leadership and Christian Identity
Research into the field of religious leadership in relation to Christian identity is highly complex. What should be meant by religious leadership? What do we really mean if we talk about Christian identity? And most of all: what implies the and between religious leadership and Christian identity? Is there a necessary substantial relation between both? If so, how has leadership contributed in the past to Christian identity and how will it in the contemporary context stimulate a Christian identity?
Encounters for Change
Weaving together insights from social psychology, theology, and experiences of interfaith religious leaders, Dagmar Grefe develops practical strategies that support interreligious contact at a grassroots level. She shows that by working together, religious communities can more effectively address global and local problems that all people face: poverty, environmental destruction, and armed conflict. Grefe describes interreligious cooperation at work in local communities. She develops tools that equip religious leaders with the interreligious competence needed for spiritual care and counseling with individual persons in crisis. Cooperation is not only effective in the care for communities and persons in crisis, it also heals distant and strained interreligious relationships. In the process of working together, perceptions of each other can transform.

Intercultural and Interreligious Pastoral Caregiving
Worldwide, in theory formation and the practice of pastoral caregiving, intercultural and interreligious aspects receive a growing attention. Since its formation in 1995, the "Society of Intercultural Pastoral Care and Counselling" (SIPCC) has been at the forefront of this development, providing initiative and space for learning and reflection. The essays collected in this publication are a result of this work. Written both by practitioners and by specialists, they reflect challenges and open perspectives for an inclusive ethics of caregiving in the 21st century.
Spiritual Care in our Multifaith World
Across the helping professions, and as a compassionate response to human suffering, spiritual care is a special process of companioning. Furthermore, all forms of spiritual care always consist in connecting diverse wisdom traditions with care receivers' spiritual resources, longings, and struggles in socio-cultural and contextually pertinent ways. This book thoroughly explicates such understanding with interdisciplinary lenses. Its main purpose is to offer a comprehensive response to the new challenges and opportunities for excellent care presented by increasing cultural and religious-spiritual pluralization. Practical guidelines and case studies are connected with models of spirituality, sp...
International Handbook of Practical Theology
Practical theology has outgrown its traditional pastoral paradigm. The articles in this handbook recognize that religion, spirituality, lived religion on this side and beyond institutional communities refer to realms of cultures, ritual practices, and symbolic orders whose boundaries are not clearly defined and whose contents are shifting. The Handbook of Practical Theology offers insightful transcultural conceptions of religion and religious affairs collected from various cultures and religions. The first section presents ‘concepts of religion’. Chapters include considerations of the conceptualizing of religion in the fields of 'anthropology', 'community', 'family', 'institution', 'law', 'media', and 'politics' among others. The second section is dedicated to case studies of ‘religious practices’ from the perspective of their actors. The third section presents the main theoretical discourses that map the globally significant diversity and multiplicity of religion. Altogether, fifty-eight authors from different parts of the world encourage a rethinking of religious practice in an expanded, transcultural, globalized, and postcolonial world.
Zwischen Smalltalk und Therapie
Zeit ist Mangelware - auch in der Seelsorge. Darunter leiden alle, die Menschen gerne seelsorgerlich begleiten möchten, dabei aber immer wieder an die Grenzen des zeitlich Machbaren stoßen. Das gilt in besonders drängender Weise für GemeindepfarrerInnen. Der Autor verändert die Perspektive und zeigt, dass in der knapp bemessenen Zeit eine ganz eigene Chance liegt. Sie zwingt auf heilsame Weise, schnell auf das Wesentliche zu kommen. Dieser neue Ansatz lädt ein zur Seelsorge mitten in aller Zeitknappheit.
Wirkungsvolle Schulseelsorge
Ganz so einfach wie es das Cover des vorliegenden Buchbandes suggeriert, erfolgen der Aufbau und eine Etablierung von evangelischer Schulseelsorge nicht - auch wenn diese im Lebensraum Schule immer mehr an Bedeutung gewinnt. Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit geht aus diesem Grund in theoretischer Durchdringung und empirisch-analytischer Ausarbeitung der Frage nach, welche Bedingungen dazu beitragen können, dass system-immanente Schulseelsorgerinnen und Schulseelsorger sowohl ihren Lehr- als auch ihren Seelsorgeauftrag wirkungsvoll erfüllen können und dabei in ihrer jeweiligen Funktion für die Schulangehörigen erkennbar bleiben. Ferner gibt sie Impulse, welche Maßnahmen auf den verschiedenen Ebenen "Schule, Kirche und Person" ergriffen werden können, damit evangelische Schulseelsorge wirkungsvoll aufgebaut werden kann.
