Описание: The Sword of the Lord is the first book to examine military chaplains and the development of the military chaplaincy across history and geography—from the first to the twenty-first century, from Europe to North America. The scope of this work reveals the astonishing fact that the military chaplaincy has existed in a recognizable form for more than 1,600 years. Contributors analyze specific historical moments in the development of the chaplaincy, beginning in antiquity and progressing through the Crusades, the English Civil War, the American Civil War, both World Wars, and the Vietnam War.
Описание: There is a silent exodus of emerging generations from Latino churches in America. It is a crisis of infertility and preservation, an inability to retain and reclaim the second-and third-generation due primarily to changing demographics, an increase of influence of post-modernistic thought, a void of relevant leadership, and recent challenges with technological advances. Unless the church takes Latino teenagers and emerging adults-who are the primary targets of these challenges- more seriously, the Latino church's future is in doubt. Leading strategically in a Latino church context requires critically engaging the complexities of Latino culture, theology, and multi-generational realities. Today's Latino churches face the challenge of making space for multi-generational identities and developing the leadership skills to embrace predominantly Latino communities that are increasingly becoming more monolingual and multicultural. Latino churches that do not accommodate experience the silent exodus. This book focuses on equipping pastors and emerging leaders on counteracting the silent exodus. This is a first-hand experience and academic exploration of the complicated challenges of being part of, serving in, and developing a Latino church in the twenty-first century. The book provides a leadership approach that directly engages technology, globalization, and communicating the gospel in a post-Christian world from a Latino perspective.

Описание: Presents stories of ministers that became chaplains in the American army during the Revolution. Most of these men were not content with just administering to the spiritual needs of the troops, but they also took up the musket for the cause of liberty.
Pastoral care is central to Christian ministry, and it can take ministers to the edges of human life. Chaplains often work on the edge of institutions, and frequently on the edge of society. In this thoughtful and practical book, Rosie Deedes draws on her experience as a chaplain in prisons and hospices and reflects on the nature of pastoral care and the contribution chaplaincy can make to the life and ministry of the Church.
Focusing particularly on the taboo subject of death and dying, she shows how ministers such as clergy and chaplains are called to go 'into the depths' of human life to share the love and compassion of God. Reflecting on a number of pastoral encounters, the book invites ministers to confront the depths of human life and to develop resilience that enables them to engage in depth with all they encounter.

Описание: The East India Company's merchants were called Adventurers because they ventured their money in the risky markets of the Spice Islands and the fabulously wealthy Mughal Empire. In another sense also, the Company's entire 250 years were an adventure, exciting and dangerous, and creating over time, by violence and corruption, an empire. Contrary to the common view, the Company always claimed a Christian identity, hence the chaplains, on their voyages and in their trading 'factories' and garrisons, to guard the morals and morale of their operations. This the chaplains did with varying conviction and success. Forbear of the multinational of today, the Company continues to fascinate, attracting a vast amount of study worldwide as an economic and political phenomenon, an instrument of development, patron of art, and locus of attention in the new-imperial and postcolonial literature. Virtually unnoticed hitherto alongside the seafarers, merchant-adventurers, soldiers and imperialists, and their Indian collaborators, was a succession of educated, mostly young men with a tricky assignment and a distinct angle on all that took place: the chaplains.
