Dyson, Gerald P. "Contexts for pastoral care : Anglo-Saxon priests and priestly books, c. 900-1100." Thesis, University of York, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/13367/.

Abstract:

This thesis is an examination and analysis of the books needed by and available to Anglo-Saxon priests for the provision of pastoral care in the tenth and eleventh centuries. Anglo-Saxon priests are a group that has not previously been studied as such due to the scattered and difficult nature of the evidence. By synthesizing previous scholarly work on the secular clergy, pastoral care, and priests’ books, this thesis aims to demonstrate how priestly manuscripts can be used to inform our understanding of the practice of pastoral care in Anglo-Saxon England. In the first section of this thesis (

Abstract:

<p> The present study examined factors for priestly commitment and the relationship between priestly commitment and well-being of Catholic priests and seminarians. While evidence for the effectiveness of assessment in identifying the suitability of applicants to the priesthood and evaluating the general psychological health of priests and seminarians has been well documented, the effectiveness of assessment in predicting commitment to the priesthood remains under question. This study addressed such an issue by identifying the individual and sets of factors for priestly commitment using a sampl

Abstract:

At a time when the Church of England was encouraging a greater variety of forms of professional ministry, but still retained selection criteria reflecting earlier organizational norms, my diocesan work with ordination candidates became a journey of exploration worth taking whatever the outcome. In this context, I collected rich life-story narratives using the Biographic-Narrative Interpretive Method, twenty-one of which later became the raw material for this study. As I began my research, I noticed in Michel Foucault's 1981-2 lectures at the College de France, published as The Hermeneutics of

This thesis is an analysis of the means by which Taoism as an ancient religious tradition is reproduced in contemporary Shanghai - the largest commercial metropolis in 'post-socialist' China.

Abstract:

This study investigates the expectations various groups in late medieval German society held of their parish priests and how these expectations were mediated through specific relationships. By analyzing the qualities, skills, duties and services required of the parish clergy by those in the priest's own social network--the episcopal and patronal structures above him and the parish and clerical communities around him--this study reveals the mutual obligations and contradictions inherent in the priest's situation.

Abstract:

The thesis explores the extant evidence concerning the transmission of traditional sacerdotal lore by Egyptian priests into the wider Mediterranean during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. I focus on the following research questions. 1) What does the fragmentary evidence tell us about the activities of Egyptian priests concerning the transmission of sacerdotal lore? 2) What is the range of information disseminated by Egyptian priests into a Greek cultural milieu? 3) How influential was the literary output of Egyptian priests upon subsequent Greek writers? 4) Should we distinguish sharply betw

Abstract:

The right of association is a natural right founded on the social nature of human beings. As a natural right it is inherited by every person, and therefore, it is to be preserved, protected and promoted by all people, by every government and legal system. As members of the human society, the secular priests enjoy this right and the Church has formally recognized it in its legislation. Thus the 1983 Code of Canon Law contains several norms governing the establishment, scope, limitations, and different aspects of the association of secular priests. Canon 278 of the 1983 Code presents principles

Abstract:

The thesis is divided into three sections which are a review of literature concerned with the Anglican priesthood, a description of the research methodology, and an analysis of the data collected by interviewing 35 Anglican clergy. The literature review traces the stages of becoming a priest, from vocation through to selection, formation and ordination. At each stage it asks what a priest is expected to do, and what a priest is expected to be. As the review proceeds it will be seen that there are different opinions about these questions. The review concludes by showing how the literature divid

Abstract:

The United States Catholic bishops have used their authority to address the child sexual abuse scandal, but it has been problematic that no one has yet evaluated their exercised leadership styles. In this phenomenological study, I explored U.S Catholic priests' perceptions of the bishops' leadership styles related to how they handled the child sexual abuse scandal. Knowing the bishops' leadership styles was paramount to fill the research gap. The theoretical frameworks underpinning this study were transformational leadership, transactional leadership, charismatic leadership, and servant leader

The Life-style Personality Inventory (LSPI) was used to measure the Adlerian life-style. The Social Interest Scale (SIS) was used to measure the Adlerian concept of social interest.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a discourse analysis of the early Upanisads, focusing primarily on the dialogues. We will pay close attention to character development and the description of social situations. In looking at the dialogues, we will argue that the literary presentation of the philosophical ideas is an integral part of the claims that Upanisadic composers were making about reality. Brahmin composers use the dialogue form to explicitly connect particular people, practices and institutions with philosophical ideas. The Upanisads establish the proper mode of conduct for four

Abstract:

The subject of this study is canon 285, par. 3 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law which forbids clerics from assuming any public office (officia publica) which entails a participation in civil power (civilis potestas). This canon represents a notable shift of perspective away from the requirement in the 1917 Code of obtaining permission to assume a public office involving the exercise of civil power. The emphasis is now on a straightforward prohibition with no direct reference to exceptions in the law. It is the hypothesis of this study that while canon 285, par. 3 is verbally stronger, more emphat
