Описание:
'The Status of Religion and the Public Benefit in Charity Law' is an apologetic for maintaining the presumption of public benefit for the charitable category 'advancement of religion' in democratic countries within the English common law tradition. In response to growing academic and political pressure to reform charity law - including recurring calls to remove tax exemptions granted to religious charities - the scholars in this volume analyse the implications of legislative and legal developments in Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. In the process, they also confront more fundamental, sociological or philosophical questions on the very nature and role of religion in a secular society that would deny any space for religious communities outside their houses of worship. In other words, this book is concerned with the place of religion - and religious institutions - in contemporary society. It represents a series of concerns about the proper role of the state in relation to the differing beliefs of citizens - some of which will quite rightly manifest in actions to benefit the wider society. This debate, then, naturally engages with broader issues related to secularism, civic engagement and liberal democratic freedoms. NP] Historically, we have presumed that religion is beneficial. Any suggestion that would either remove the advancement of religion, or advocate the removal of other benefits granted to religious institutions (such as tax exempt status) is predicated on the contrary assumption that religion provides no benefit, or if it does, it only benefits congregants on a Sunday morning (or other holy day). Further, our cultural moment, with its attention to diversity and equality, has put the charitable status of religious communities in jeopardy unless they conform to the normative moral commitments of secular elites in academia, media and the legal profession. This exposes a deeply flawed notion of religion, as discussed in this book. Religion is both communal and holistic in scope; as the research canvassed in this volume reveals, spiritual faith and good works are so closely intertwined in the theology, practice and lives of most religious communities that recognizing religion as charitable speaks to the reality of religion's ongoing, positive influence in society.

Описание: Deborah Plummer Bussey introduced readers to a new kind of mystery with her first Sister Nun mystery, and she gives fans the second psychological-social installment of her page-turning series. "The Family That Stays Together" continues the fast-paced adventures of sisters Kathy and Tina first chronicled in Bussey's debut book "They Still Call Me Sister." This time, the two women join forces to protect a family friend, a television celebrity who has been accused of murdering her ex-fianc . But as usual, scandal, foul play and trouble lurk around every corner. In each mystery, Kathy is faced with the challenge of how to bring to light something she finds out in her clinical practice without breaking confidentiality. Her gregarious sister, Tina, aids her as the two amateur sleuths uncover suicides and accidental deaths as murders. "The Family That Stays Together" from Half Dozen Publications is not the typical murder mystery. The story sparks stimulating conversations for book clubs and all readers about diversity, gay issues and emotional maturity, as well as the contemporary challenges of Catholic faith.
