Описание: Judentum und Christentum haben ihre offiziell beauftragten Amtstrager, um die vielfaltigen Aufgaben der Gemeinschaft zu erfullen: zu sammeln und zu lehren, seelsorglich tatig zu sein und zu predigen, Gottesdienste zu leiten und Lebenshilfe zu geben, Rituale zu vollziehen am Beginn des Lebens, an dessen Ende und mitten im Leben, in religiosen Fragen zu entscheiden, administrativ tatig zu werden und vielleicht sogar ?zwischen Himmel und Erde’ zu vermitteln.Die konkreten Verwirklichungsformen und Funktionen des Amtes (und der Amtstrager) sind dabei einem standigen Wandel unterworfen. Mit diesem Funktionswandel reagieren Religionsgemeinschaften auf die sich verandernden Bedingungen des Glaubens und der religiosen Praxis. Die Beitrage gehen diesen Erwartungen an geistliche Amtstrager, an ihre Identitat und Legitimation im Wandel der letzten Jahrhunderte nach und bringen diese auf zwei Ebenen zur Sprache: auf der Ebene der Leitbilder und auf der Ebene der realen Erscheinungsformen, die die jeweiligen geschichtlichen, kulturellen und sozialen Gegebenheiten hervorgebracht haben.

Описание: What is the church's role in suicide prevention? While we tend to view the work of suicide prevention as the task of professional therapists and doctors, the church can also play a vital role. Studies show that religious faith is an important factor reducing the risk of suicide. Yet many pastors, chaplains and pastoral counselors feel overwhelmed and unprepared to prevent suicides. In this practical handbook, psychologist Karen Mason equips ministry professionals to work with suicidal individuals. Integrating theology and psychology, she shows how pastoral caregivers can be agents of hope, teaching the significance of life, monitoring those at risk and intervening when they need help. Because church leaders are often present in people's lives in seasons of trouble and times of crisis, they can provide comfort in the midst of suffering and offer guidance for the future. When our church members struggle in the darkness, the darkness need not overcome them. Discover how you and your church can be proactive in caring for those at risk of self-harm.
So You Think You've Been Called to Be a Pastor?: Pastoring 101 is a workbook primarily written for new pastors and ministers who think they have been called to be a pastor. Yet seasoned pastors can benefit from this book as well. Someone said that 50 percent of new pastors give up after their first year. In my humblest opinion, many who feel they are called to be a pastor have never been properly mentored. They are not prepared for the various seasons that will take place within their ministry. Someone needs to tell them about pastoral fluctuations: the bitters and the sweets, the unpredictability of membership and finances, betrayals, apathy, childishness, and the perpetual delays that come with growing a church. By writing this workbook, I have officially accepted the assignment to be that someone. In this age of mega churches with multi-million dollar programs, it is easy for pastors of small churches to feel like failures; we don't measure up. This workbook provides practical information to help pastors successfully navigate through various pastoral seasons. This workbook is divided into fourteen sections. A few sections are: "What to Expect as a New Pastor," "The Danger of Being a Carbon Copy of Someone Else's Ministry," "What Do You Do When the Pews Are Not Full," and "Members Say and Do the Strangest Things." At the end of each section, there is a "Fireside Chat." Various questions will be asked, and I invite you to daily RELAX: R - Rest and renew, E - Eat healthy foods, L - Laugh a lot, A - Ask God (pray always), and X - Xercise your body and mind. There is also a space provided called "My Journal." Write whatever you want. This is a practical handbook that should be given to every new pastor.
Between 1996 and 2014, Mark Driscoll's Mars Hill Church multiplied from its base in Seattle into fifteen facilities spread across five states with 13,000 attendees. When it closed, the church was beset by scandal, with former attendees testifying to spiritual abuse, emotional manipulation, and financial exploitation. In Biblical Porn Jessica Johnson examines how Mars Hill's congregants became entangled in processes of religious conviction. Johnson shows how they were affectively recruited into sexualized and militarized dynamics of power through the mobilization of what she calls "biblical porn"—the affective labor of communicating, promoting, and embodying Driscoll's teaching on biblical masculinity, femininity, and sexuality, which simultaneously worked as a marketing strategy, social imaginary, and biopolitical instrument. Johnson theorizes religious conviction as a social process through which Mars Hill's congregants circulated and amplified feelings of hope, joy, shame, and paranoia as affective value that the church capitalized on to grow at all costs.
