Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book inaugurates a completely new way of thinking about the ethics of marriage and sex. I know of no book on the subject more promising than what McCarthy has achieved here. Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics, Duke University Much has been written in Christian theology about sex, love, and procreation, but their social meanings and contributions are much more rarely addressed. McCarthy now takes this greatly neglected task, eloquently connecting the Christian household to the common good. All those who want to realize the social vocation of the Christian family will find in this work a rich and challenging resource for understanding and for life. Lisa Sowle Cahill, J. Donald Monan Professor of Theology, Boston College Drawing on his own experience of learning how to be a husband and father, David Matzko McCarthy offers wonderfully incisive and readable reflections on the habits of the household--a neighborly space which resists consumerism--and enables sexual relationships to be ordinary, meaningful, and passionate. If you think that all that Christian theology has to say about sex and relationships is twaddle about complementarity and family values, then this is the book for you.

Book excerpt: 2021 Association of Catholic Publishers first place award in theology 2021 Catholic Media Association Award first place award in marriage and family living Six years into the papacy of Pope Francis, Catholics are still figuring out how to respond to his image of the church as a field hospital —a church that goes into the streets rather than remaining locked up behind closed doors. Marriage and family are primary sites of the field hospital, called to meet people's need for healing and accompaniment with compassion and love. The authors of this collection —all lay, a mix of single and married, traditional and progressive Catholics —take up this work. They offer practical wisdom from and critical engagement with the Catholic tradition but avoid rehashing decades-old theological debates. Instead, their essays engage with and respond to realities shaping contemporary family life, like religious pluralism, technology, migration, racism, sex and gender, incarceration, consumerism, and the call to holiness. The result is a collection that envisions ways that families can be places of healing and love in and for the world. List of contributors: Jennifer Beste Megan K.

Download or read book Love Notes Second Edition written by Ryan T. Dalgliesh and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It doesn't take too long to realize that we struggle with loving like Jesus loved. Where he is patient we are not. Where his compassion overflows our egos are offended. We know the great love our Jesus has for us and yet we find it difficult to pour out that same love on others. Marriage, where love should abound, often feels more like battleground where wounds are inflicted and superficially treated and we wonder if tomorrow will provide a reprieve. In Love Notes we are reminded that unless we really understand what it means to be loved by a faithful God we will never be able to love others well. In a conversational style that leaves you feeling Ryan is sitting right next to you Love Notes takes you on a journey of honest examination and spiritual growth. Conviction is followed up with hope as you come to the place where you recognize that God's love for you will enable you to love well.

Download or read book Love Sex and Activism written by Amy SIM and published by Amy Sim. This book was released on 2023-06-23 with total page 780 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the lives of Indonesian women employed in Hong Kong as Foreign Domestic Helpers. It tells of their lives as labour activists, leaders, religious leaders, lovers of men and women, undocumented migrants when they overstay their visas, single mothers and as wives in marriages that take place in Hong Kong. The reader will learn the inside stories of what gave them strength and the barriers they encountered to personal empowerment. I introduce the role of migrant-NGOs that assist them in Hong Kong and examine the nature of power exercised by the State and other non-State actors such as migrant-NGOs, employers and civil society that characterise their experiences in Hong Kong. Based on fifteen years of ethnographic research in Hong Kong, there are eleven chapters in this book. Chapter One begins with the effect of the Asian Financial Crisis that witnessed the systematic and exponential increase of Indonesian domestic workers in Hong Kong from 1,000 in 1990 to 40,000 in 2000 and 150,000 by 2011. Chapter Two provides the background of their employment in Hong Kong and their social and legal exclusions as Foreign Domestic Workers that gives context to the ensuing chapters. Chapter Three is about the rise of Indonesian women's labour activism, their participation and understanding of their own roles as activists and grassroots leaders. Chapter Four is about the rise of consciousness amongst Indonesian women migrant workers about their role as Muslims and their emergence as religious leaders for their compatriots in migration. Chapter Five presents their perspectives of power, leadership and authority as secular grassroots leaders in the Indonesian activist community in Hong Kong. Chapter Six presents Indonesian women's experiences of disempowerment in Indonesia from their discussions of a range factors including poverty, broken families, adultery, arranged marriages, son-preferences, favouritism among siblings, domestic violence in marriage, etc. and how activism in Hong Kong helped them recover. Chapter Seven is about the centrality of women's shelters and networks in Hong Kong and the nature of migrant-NGOs' role, leadership and power vis a vis grassroots migrant activists and leaders, and their supporters. Chapter Eight showcases the romantic relationships of Indonesian women migrants in Hong Kong with both local and foreign men, the problem of sexual violence, unwanted pregnancies, babies born in Hong Kong and brought home to Indonesia, those put up for adoption and Indonesian women's marriages and settlement in Hong Kong. Chapter Nine examines the stories of Indonesian women involved in same-sex relationships in Hong Kong with other Indonesian women, what these relationships mean to them and the relationship between labour migration and Indonesian women's transitory homosexual liaisons in Hong Kong. Chapter Ten is about how illegalities are created in labour migration by the nature of a range of actors including their employers, recruitment and employment agencies, by the State and its representatives and by Indonesian women who overstay their visas. It presents their experiences and perspectives as overstayers and highlights the dangers they encounter as undocumented migrants in Hong Kong. Chapter Eleven highlights further areas of research and concludes with theoretical concerns about how Indonesian women's agencies as individuals are often misread and the problems of misunderstanding agencies as generic, similar across different social groups (including women) and between individuals and institutionalised and collectivised agencies in academic work. The Author Amy Sim is a Cultural Anthropologist (PhD, HKU). She taught Anthropology, Gender, Globalisation and Migration Studies at the University of Hong Kong. Her research and publications focus on women’s transnational labour migration in East and Southeast Asia, women’s empowerment, leadership, gender issues and sexuality, and the development of NGOs for migrant workers in Hong Kong.

Download or read book Greenwich Village 1913 Second Edition written by Mary Jane Treacy and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of Greenwich Village, 1913: Suffrage, Labor, and the New Woman transports students into the bohemian section of New York City known as an epicenter of rebels, artists, and seekers of personal transformation. Assuming roles as residents of "the Village," students gather at Polly's restaurant to re-create discussions about feminism, marriage, family, work, and community. A faction of students in suffragist roles seek the community's support for extending the franchise to women, while others in roles as labor organizers appeal to the community for help raising funds to support an ongoing strike. Students in this game must clarify their beliefs and make their choices through a vote. Will they prioritize gender or social class, political or economic change, or reform or revolution? Will they use their talents to support a suffrage parade or to create a pageant for the silk workers of Paterson, New Jersey? Or will they reject both factions and continue to work toward a new America through the transformation of the self?

Download or read book Shakespeare Sex and Love written by Stanley Wells and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-08 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does Shakespeare's treatment of human sexuality relate to the sexual conventions and language of his times? Pre-eminent Shakespearean critic Stanley Wells draws on historical and anecdotal sources to present an illuminating account of sexual behaviour in Shakespeare's time, particularly in Stratford-upon-Avon and London. He demonstrates what we know or can deduce of the sex lives of Shakespeare and members of his family. He also provides a fascinating account of depictions ofsexuality in the poetry of the period and suggests that at the time Shakespeare was writing most of his non-dramatic verse a group of poets catered especially for readers with homoerotic tastes.The second part of Shakespeare, Sex, - and Love focuses on the variety of ways in which Shakespeare treats sexuality in his plays and at how he relates sexuality to love. Wells shows that Shakespeare's attitude to sex developed over the course of his writing career, and devotes whole chapters to 'The Fun of Sex' - to how he raises laughter out of the matter of sex in both the language and the plotting of some of his comedies; portrayals of sexual desire; to Romeo and Julietas the play in which Shakespeare focuses most centrally on issues relating to sex, love, and the relationship between them; to sexual jealousy, traced through four major plays; 'Sexual Experience'; and 'Whores and Saints'. A final chapter, 'Just Good Friends' examines Shakespeare's rendering of same-genderrelationships.
