It would be dark soon, and she had no idea where she could go or hide. Jilliand knew they would come for her. The Vikings were not likely to let this go—especially it being an attack by a woman. She was defeated. Weak and shaking, she stared at the man’s body. I think tonight I die.” ​Clare Gutierrez is a registered nurse who grew up on a cattle ranch in rural Colorado as one of four children.

Download or read book Matthew Disability and Stress written by Jillian D. Engelhardt and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Matthew, Disability, and Stress: Examining Impaired Characters in the Context of Empire, Jillian D. Engelhardt examines four Matthean healing narratives, focusing on the impaired characters in the scenes. Her reading is informed by both empire studies and social stress theory, a method that explores how the stress inherent in social location can affect psychosomatic health. By examining the Roman imperial context in which common folk lived and worked, she argues that attention to social and somatic circumstances, which may have accompanied or caused the described disabilities/impairments, destabilizes readings of these stories that suggest the encounter with Jesus was straightforwardly good and the healing was permanent. Instead, Engelhardt proposes various new contexts for and offers more nuanced characterizations of the disabled/impaired people in each discussed scene, resulting in ambiguous interpretations that de-center Jesus and challenge able-bodied assumptions about embodiment, disability, and healing.

Download or read book Navigating Gender and Sexuality in the Classroom written by Heather Killelea McEntarfer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-08 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender identity and sexuality play crucial roles in the educational experiences of students, parents, and teachers. Teacher education must more directly address the ways that schools reflect and reproduce oppressive gender norms, working to combat homophobia, transphobia, heteronormativity, and gendered expectations in schools. This volume examines teacher candidates’ experiences with gender and sexuality in the classroom, offering insight and strategies to better prepare teachers and teacher educators to support LGBTQ youth and families. This volume addresses the need for broader, more in-depth qualitative data describing teacher candidates’ responses to diversity in the classroom (including gender, sexuality, race, class and religion). By using pedagogical tools such as narrative writing and positioning theory, teacher candidates explore these issues to better understand their own students’ narratives in deeply embodied ways. This book calls for schools to be places where oppression, in all its complexity, is explored and challenged rather than replicated.

Download or read book Without Reserve written by Dorinda Vollmer and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second volume of her memoir, Dorinda Vollmer continues her life story following her departure from the Roseau River Indian Reserve in southern Manitoba in June, 1981. Settling in Ontario, she established her ministry in small rural towns first in Grand Valley and Monticello and then in New Liskeard, Warsaw, Millbrook and Orono United Churches. Sometimes she found herself mired in conflict and controversy because of her progressive and inclusive views of society. Using compassion and persistence, she fought to build her role as a community leader and, in the process, learned a great deal about how we handle ourselves when we are frustrated and angry. This is the story of one woman’s lifelong dedication to faith, justice and humanity. It is also the story of those strong and balanced people around her who continue to live their faith and help to lift us all up and support others---in whatever form their worship takes. It is a reminder to all to be more careful, kinder and more respectful of others, especially those who have no voice. These are stories that can translate into any life situation, whether at work, at school, at home or in our social encounters. It is a story about reconciliation and transformation when we bring out the best in ourselves and in others.

Download or read book Contingent Future Persons written by N. Fotion and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How ought we evaluate the individual and collective actions on which the existence, numbers and identities of future people depend? In the briefest of terms, this question poses what is addressed here as the problem of contingent future persons, and as such it poses relatively novel challenges for philosophical and theological ethicists. For though it may be counter-intuitive, it seems that those contingent future persons who are actually brought into existence by such actions cannot benefit from or be harmed by these actions in any conventional sense of the terms. This intriguing problem was defined almost three decades ago by Jan Narveson [2], and to date its implications have been explored most exhaustively by Derek Parfit [3] and David Heyd [1]. Nevertheless, as yet there is simply no consensus on how we ought to evaluate such actions or, indeed, on whether we can. Still, the pursuit of a solution to the problem has been interestingly employed by moral philosophers to press the limits of ethics and to urge a reconsideration of the nature and source of value at its most fundamental level. It is thus proving to be a very fruitful investigation, with far-reaching theoretical and practical implications.
