Abstract:
Purpose Review of literature suggests mixed findings on the relationship between the church and micro women entrepreneurship development. This signals that questions remain about the roles of churches in entrepreneurial development. Thus, this paper aims to explore what entrepreneurial activities are provided by churches to their micro women entrepreneurs and how do these activities influence their entrepreneurial start up and growth. Design/methodology/approach Phenomenological research methodologies were used to purposive collected data from 38 women entrepreneurs and four church administers in Tema. Results were analyzed using the emergent strategy. Findings The results suggest that churches provided four entrepreneurial activities which are categorized as finance, networking, promotion of self-confidence and impartation of ethical values. These factors promoted the growth of women entrepreneurial growth but not the start-up of entrepreneurial ventures. The study concluded that the church should provide more support for new entrepreneurial ventures. Therefore, embeddedness because of membership of a church is a critical part of women entrepreneurship development. Research limitations/implications Further studies will need to replicate these findings with other types of businesses, in other locations. Practical implications This study suggests that policymakers should be working in conjunction with churches in a bid to promote micro women entrepreneurship development. Originality/value Limited research has been conducted on church entrepreneurial activities in the development of micro women entrepreneurs in developing economies such as Ghana. This empirical research provides important insights into this field.

Abstract:
The history of management of various social objects — family, private, public, church, regional, state — has been around for many millennia. And at the same time objectively constantly there were questions “What should heads (managers) of these objects do for ensuring their survival, growth and development?”, “What roles should leaders of social organizations play?”, “What competencies should a leader have in order to effectively and efficiently perform their roles?”. The evolution of views on the role of managers of social organizations from ancient times up today is stated in the paper. There are given results of scientific research on the subject “the role of managers”, which have been revealed the “national”, regional and industrial specific of managerial roles, a completely new role, and above all — the rating of managerial roles at various stages of the social organizations lifecycle.

Abstract:
Management is a business function that provides leadership support to organizations’ resources to realize strategic goals and objectives. While churches are not precisely business organizations tied with specific management practice as requirements including other complex legal requirements such as filing returns and payment of taxes, they engage in activities that require adequate planning and execution if they are to be successful and impact to the church's growth and development. Hence, there is a need for an effective governance system for churches that will ensure efficient and effective utilization of resources and management practices in the growth and development of Churches. This paper, therefore, aims at presenting an analysis of good governance, effective managerial strategies and church structure for church growth and development. This study will employ the use of content analysis of literature as the main components in the study in the areas of effective managerial practices, corporate governance and organizational structure and its impact on Church growth and development. The study will systematically answer various questions under the study which eventually contributes towards the establishment of good governance, effective management and Church Structure on the growth and development of Churches. The study will, therefore, unearth the relationship between good governance, church management and structure on the growth and development of churches. It will further recommend leaders of churches the elements of good governance, management and the structure of their church that have to be taken into consideration in their decision making.

Abstract:
AbstractIn 1967 the Church of Scientology's tax-exempt status was revoked on the basis that it failed to meet the criteria outlined in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service. Between its loss, and eventual reacquisition in 1993, the Church of Scientology employed a number of political based tactics in an attempt to legitimize itself to the public sector. This article explores these tactics in relation to the religion's use of perception management. The article argues that the processes of both legal recognition and legitimization draw upon each other in a new faith's transition to mainstream theology. In this, the Church employed perception management in attempt to influence both processes. In exploring this, the paper contributes to our understanding of role that public legitimacy plays in a new faith's development.

Abstract:
Forward Christian Community (Forward) is an evangelical church that incorporates Christendom and Jewish traditions into its worship and repurposes an unconventional/commercial space—a former movie theater. Forward started as subsidiary ministry of a larger evangelical church community before becoming its own independent church community separated from its mother church. In this article, I argue that Forward has developed a new vision of how church can take place through its founding members’ shared past and experiences at their mother church—their cultural memory. The conventional–unconventional form of church they developed is manifested through a new form of church space.

Abstract:
Quality control is important in the church and in industry. Two methods for maintaining quality control in the church are membership criteria and external persecution. Traditional societies, Hellenistic Judaism, and the post-apostolic church exercised quality control through the monitoring of minimum standards maintained during the transition phase in rites of passage. Candidates during the transition phase lose their former status and so seek new identities and acquire new skills to qualify for new statuses. Few other occasions in life provide a more significant pedagogical opportunity for promoting personal development and spiritual growth. It is the universal method par excellence for maintaining quality control in societies.

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Obesity is disproportionately prevalent among Pacific population groups in New Zealand. Lifestyle behaviours of excessive consumption of high energy, unhealthy foods and inadequate physical activity are risk factors for obesity that can be modified. AIM: To identify and describe the risk factors for and protective factors against obesity among Pacific Island (PI) adolescents who attend church and compare them with PI adolescents who do not attend church. METHODS: We investigated the lifestyle behaviours of 2495 PI adolescents at six secondary schools in Auckland, New Zealand (NZ), 77% of whom attend a church or other place of worship. The cross-sectional survey was undertaken in 2005. Structured individual interviews and anthropometric measurements were undertaken. RESULTS: Church attendees had a higher mean body mass index (BMI) compared with non-attendees (BMI 27.4 vs BMI 26.6), adjusted for age, gender and PI ethnicity (p=0.01). The weight status of attendees was associated with less healthy breakfast and lunch sources, lower levels of physical activity, and limited knowledge of the risk factors for obesity (p<0.05) DISCUSSION: Culturally appropriate and ethnic-specific weight management interventions, including monitoring and policy development programmes, are needed urgently to change pro-obesity lifestyle behaviours in PI adolescents and to avoid the burgeoning future obesity-related illnesses that would otherwise result. The church may be an important venue and change agent in the prevention of obesity for this population.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses how the Greek Orthodox Church dealt with the era of ethnic revival that legitimized European white ethnic identities, including that of Greek Americans. It highlights the controversy Archbishop Iakovo generated when he decreed that parish priests could perform parts of the Sunday liturgy in Greek. It talks about Archbishop Iakovos message to Greek Americans of how most of them were now more comfortable with the English rather than the Greek language and how that development should be reflected in practice. The chapter mentions how Greek Americans experienced the most sustained revival of their identity of all the European “ethnics” due to a big influx of immigrants from Greece in the wake of the immigration reform of 1965. It discusses the exponential growth of Greek presence in the New York borough of Queens, especially in the Astoria section that became a “Greektown,”

Abstract:
This article is devoted to the study of the organizational structure of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (hereinafter UGCC) as the largest Eastern Catholic Church of the Byzantine rite in the world. The UGCC belongs to religious organizations (hereinafter RO), which form a separate subgroup in the general structure of non-profit organizations (hereinafter NGOs) and, accordingly, constitute the third sector of the economy along with government agencies and commercial organizations. When considering the theoretical issues, the article presents the development and evaluation of scientific thought, the theory of research and the functioning of organizational structures. The essence of organizational management structures is revealed, in particular their basic elements, interrelations, as well as the fundamentals of formation and designing. In what follows, the system of general ecclesiastical administration of the Catholic Church is presented, where the power of leadership, or administration, is divided into three categories: legislative, judicial and executive, combined as a whole in the person of the pope and at the level of the Bishop’s Particular Church. The article also reveals the place and status of the Eastern Catholic Churches in the general structure of the Catholic Church, where synodal administration is considered to be a usual form of government. This form of government operates through an episcopal system based on the hierarchy of bishops and their unification into a college (synod) headed by the head of the church. In the analysis of statistical data on the development of structures and personnel of the UGCC for the last two decades, the quantitative growth of the clergy and the quantitative growth of parishes for this period are graphically presented, which testifies to the stable and professional development of organizational structures and personnel (clergy) of the UGCC in the world. When analyzing church documents (normative – legal acts) regulating the activities of the UGCC and comparing them with theoretical developments in the field of management of organizational structures, it should be noted that OSU UGCC belongs to bureaucratic structures with decentralized operational management at the local level. From the point of view of the analysis of the hierarchy of power, the main governing bodies of the UGCC are described, where the status of each governing body and official is clearly regulated by church canons and job descriptions of the UGCC.

This essay foregrounds the beliefs of Ezra Taft Benson concerning the social, political, and diplomatic crises facing the United States since World War II in the context of the rise of the American conservative movement. The Old Right mobilized on a platform of anti-communism, small government, and defense of traditional values and institutions. As secretary of agriculture and a member of the Quorum of the Twelve of the LDS church, Benson played a key role in the movement’s development and growth. He was in touch with leading conservatives such as Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, Governor George Wallace of Alabama, and Robert Welch of the John Birch Society. Benson was also active in moving Mormons into the Republican Party and conservative groups. His commitment to conservative politics carried into the 1970s and 1980s and helped shape the emergence of the New Right.

Abstract:
Fascism exerted multiple, complex, and often perverse influences on Italian society and on the lives of Italian Jews in particular. The better-known outcomes of Italian Fascism are the development of a dictatorial regime grounded on the cult of personality, the bloody repression of political opposition, delirious imperialist adventures, the legal codification of anti-Jewish persecution, the late military alliance with Nazi Germany, and a catastrophic defeat in the Second World War. But Fascism also played a paramount role in conceiving new patterns of rural and urban development, industrial management, state and church relations, and educational reform, some of whose legacies have long outlasted the pernicious regime. Some public works, among them the embankments of the Tiber River and other aspects of urban renovation in Rome, and land reclamation in the central-southern regions of Italy, quite amazingly were not much developed beyond the regime’s endeavors in the 1920s and 1930s. Likewise, at least until recently, much of the public education system in the country—compulsory as well as academic—was regulated by principles laid down during “the infamous twenty years.” Those far-reaching influences have deeply affected Italy’s university ...
