Book excerpt: The fundamental concern of this thesis is to articulate a vision for ministry in Irish Methodism for the twenty-first century based on the theory and practice of Servant Leadership. It will show how Servant Leadership offers the most effective framework for the development of ordained ministry in the Irish Methodist Church. Chapter One presents the research methodologies utilised in the thesis. These include historical analysis of sources, a review of literary resources and empirical methodologies. The latter includes thematic analysis of qualitative data and the presentation of findings gathered from semi-structured interviews. Chapter Two identifies the unique context of the origins and development of Irish Methodism in contrast to English Methodism. This detailed historical analysis shows the radical differences in context between Ireland and England and simultaneously illustrates the symbiotic relationship between these two branches of Methodism. Chapter Three addresses the themes of ministry and leadership. It draws deeply on primary sources in the Irish Methodist historical archive, Edgehill House Belfast. The chapter outlines the evolving nature of ordained ministry and considers the challenges facing the contemporary Irish Methodist Church. Chapter Four surveys the definitions of servant leadership to unearth their unique and creative insights for an original vision of ministry. The chapter argues that the servant leadership commitment to the development of people is fundamental to the practice of ministry. Chapter Five presents the empirical data drawn from eighteen semi-structured interviews with ordained ministers. These interviews explore the participants' ministry experience, perceptions of leadership, and understanding of servant leadership. Chapter Six discusses the findings of the research. It asserts that servant leadership provides an innovative framework for understanding the role of the contemporary Methodist minister. It claims confidently that this framework enables ministers to lead congregations and facilitate growth in the twenty-first century Irish Methodist Church.

Download or read book Servant Leadership Social Entrepreneurship and the Will to Serve written by Luk Bouckaert and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a number of important essays on the intersection of servant leadership and social entrepreneurship, examining them through a shared focus on ‘the will to serve’. This combination bears out the insight that inspiring social and economic leaders are able to transform a conflictual human settlement into a collaborative and caring human community. The book seeks to answer the question of whether we can induce from their ‘way of doing things’ a model of civic entrepreneurship and leadership that can inspire people in profit, non-profit and public organizations. It also examines the extent to which the will to serve is compatible with the will to maximize profit or the will to gain economic, political or religious power. Furthermore, it asks how far different spiritual traditions create different models and examples of servant leadership and social entrepreneurship. This book will be of interest to researchers working in the fields of business ethics, business spirituality and corporate social responsibility.

This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the first volume of this work was good, this, we think, is better. The interest attaching to Wesley's movements is lacking, but the material is fresher; it relates to subjects more entirely new and unfamiliar to 'the general or even to the Methodist reader. The work is very well done-clear, succinct, and well-written. The most characteristic points in the history of Irish Methodism are included within the scope of this volume. The separation, as to certain points, between English and Irish Methodism, after the death of Methodism, is here explained. Irish Methodism was identified, far more strictly than English Methodism ever was, with the English Church. In Ireland there was no such organized independence of the Church of England as English Methodism maintained in London and in Bristol. Irish Methodism included no Dissenters nor .any tendencies in the direction of Dissent. It was deeply Tory in Church and State. Hence when English Methodism separated itself from the sacraments of the Church of England after 1795, Irish Methodism refused to follow the example. Similarly, the new regulations by which an ecclesiastically defined status was in 1797 given to the laity of English Methodism were not accepted in Ireland. Irish Methodism, in fact, insisted on the privileges of "home rule." Mr. Crookshank lets us understand that to a certain extent this was the all but inevitable result of the special circumstances of Ireland in Church and State, though he evidently regrets that Ireland was so tardy in following the English example. Twenty years later, Ireland took the step which English Methodism took in 1795.... Many distinctions, and some more or less serious divergences, of the present day are the consequences of the initial divergences of ninety years ago. Nevertheless, all the time the English Conference has embraced in its general jurisdiction the Irish province of Methodism, and a due proportion of the "Legal Conference," the " Legal Hundred, ' have always been Irish Ministers nominated by the Irish Sub-Conference. We say sub-conference, for affiliated conference would be an improper and misleading description. He who desires to understand these matters in their historical detail must study Mr. Crookshank's history.... The "Primitive Wesleyans," or "Clonites," were absorbed into the Wesleyan Methodist, or, as the Irish prefer to call it, the Methodist Church. These subjects, however, we must add, though of fundamental importance, occupy comparatively but a small part of this interesting volume. The histories of such men as Gideon Ouseley and as the founder of the Shillington family, and of such women as Mrs. Tighe, with many another less celebrated but not less worthy or useful, make up the tissue of the volume, which we warmly recommend to our readers. --The London Quarterly and Holborn Review, Volume 66

Download or read book Celebrating the Past Present and Future of British and Irish Practical Theology written by Andrew P. Rogers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical theology has become a well-established academic discipline in Britain and Ireland over the past half century, evidenced in its chairs, journals, books, conferences, and contribution to transformed practices. The British and Irish Association for Practical Theology (BIAPT) and its journal, Practical Theology, has had a significant role to play in the story of the discipline. This volume is a celebration of practical theology in Britain and Ireland in all its inventiveness and variety on the occasion of BIAPT’s twenty-fifth birthday. It offers an account of its roots in its emergence from the Scottish Pastoral Association in the 1960s, its trajectories established in the journal Contact/Practical Theology and how human experience has been a constant companion on the journey. The book considers a range of methodologies including engagement with popular culture, public theology, the arts, and the importance of conversation. It explores new shoots in the discipline that consider how sexuality, ethnicity, and different religious traditions may be addressed within practical theology. It concludes by asking how it may be fruitful in the future, by reflecting on the challenges ahead, not least the ubiquity of ignorance. This is a landmark text in the unfolding of British and Irish practical theology in all its glorious distinctiveness, which promises to be a major contribution to international debate in the discipline. The chapters in this book were first published in Practical Theology.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Conflict Response and Leadership in Africa written by Alpaslan Özerdem and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook explores the challenges and opportunities for leadership and conflict response in the context of Africa at several levels. Leadership plays a vital role in affecting conflict response but is frequently only examined at the macro level of state, government, and international organizations. This handbook addresses the need to explore challenges and opportunities for leadership at several levels: macro (global, regional, national), meso (NGOs, religious groups, academics), and micro (civil society organizations, youth groups, women’s organizations). Analysis from multiple levels provides a broader explanation of conflict dynamics and helps to fit localized conflict transformation approaches into wider national or regional structures. The multidisciplinary essays presented in this volume encompass the psychological, political, and structural dimensions of conflict response and demonstrate how its success is fundamentally linked to the style of effectiveness of leadership, among other factors. The volume is divided into four thematic sections: Part I: The theory and dynamics of conflict response and leadership Part II: Macro-level leadership experiences in conflict response Part III: Meso-/micro-level leadership experiences in conflict response Part IV: Recommendations for improved leadership in conflict response This book will be of much interest to students of conflict resolution, peace studies, African politics, security studies, and international relations, in general.
