Global Health, Humanity and the COVID-19 Pandemic
Author: Francis Egbokhare
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031174291
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
This volume interrogates global health and especially the scourge of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the role that science has played in mitigating the human experiences of pandemics and health over the centuries. Science, and the scientific method, has always been at the forefront of the human attempt at undermining the virulent consequences of sicknesses and diseases. However, the scientific image of humans in the world is founded on the presumption of possessing the complete understanding about humans and their physiological and psychological frameworks. This volume challenges this scientific assumption. Global health denotes the complex and cumulative health profile of humanity that involves not only the framework of scientific researches and practices that investigates and seeks to improve the health of all people on the globe, but also the range of humanistic issues - economic, cultural, social, ideological - that constitute the sources of inequities and threat to the achievement of a positive global health profile. This volume balances the argument that diseases and pandemics are human problems that demand both scientific and humanistic interventions.

Awakening The Universal Heart
Author: Serge Beddington-Behrens
Publisher: Birlinn
ISBN: 0957364180
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 459
Book Description
I invite you to come on a journey with me into one of the most important, yet often most neglected dimension of yourself, namely your heart. I want to help you discover, as I have slowly been discovering, that our hearts not only hold the key to our being able to live a fuller and more meaningful life, but also to our being able to play a part in helping heal our planet.' The change needed is a shift out of our primarily head-focus into becoming increasingly heart-centred, where we are connected to our hearts and are potentially capable of moving mountains. We are only going to be good activists if we have plenty of heart in our lives - if we are big hearted with a well-activated Heart. A culture of Heart is vital if we are to heal the many wounds and splits that exist between different classes, religions, tribes and nations. The book has been written from a place of great hope and joy, based on knowledge that our world is changing and that the planetary heart is at last awakening.

Rewilding Motherhood
Author: Shannon K. Evans
Publisher: Brazos Press
ISBN: 1493432303
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Women are often told by their communities that being a mother will complete or define them. But many mothers find themselves depleted and spiritually stagnant amid the everyday demands of being a mom. They long to experience a rich inner life but feel there is rarely enough time, energy, or stillness to connect with God in a meaningful way. This book takes the concept of rewilding and applies it to motherhood. Just as an environmentalist seeks to rewild land by returning it to its natural state, Shannon Evans invites women to rewild motherhood by reclaiming its essence through an expansive feminine spirituality. Drawn from the contemplative Catholic tradition and Evans's own parenting experience, Rewilding Motherhood helps women deepen their connection to God through practices inherent to the life they're living now. Topics include work-life balance, identity, solitude, patience, household work, and mission for the common good. Throughout, Evans encourages women to see motherhood as an opportunity to discover a vibrant feminine spirituality and a deeper knowledge of God and self.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other.

A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

The Spiritual aftermath of Covid-19
Author: La Civiltà Cattolica
Publisher: ucanews
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
A collection of 12 articles from the April 2021 edition of La Civiltà Cattolica, the highly respected and oldest Catholic journal published from Rome. In the April issue we have published Interpreting Reality a previously unknown essay by Jorge Mario Bergoglio from the late 1980s. Bergoglio explains the reasoning behind one of his four principles: reality is greater than the idea. On the afternoon of March 5, Pope Francis touched down in Baghdad for a four-day visit to Iraq, his first journey in over a year. Antonio Spadaro, our director, has penned a first-hand account of this trip. Cesare Giraudo’s essay, The Ministry of Women in the Liturgy: ‘Sound Tradition’ and ‘Legitimate Progress’, considers the recent, and important, motu proprio Spiritus Domini, it’s historical context and what it means for lay women and men who exercise the instituted ministries of lector and acolyte. Seil Oh discusses Pope Francis’ call for an “ecological conversion” in this time of crisis and division; essentially, we are called to rethink the way we live our faith. Along with the health and economic crisis is another that is only now being widely discussed, some call it post-traumatic stress but others know it as The Spiritual Aftermath of Covid-19 . Benedict XVI gave us a new expression to describe a Jewish or Muslim person: “other believer.” It indicates a person who does not believe exactly what we believe, but who is also a believer. Felix Körner, continues his series on fraternity explaining how Fratelli Tutti guides us as we speak to, interact with other believers.
