Individualistic Culture

Abstract In an increasingly individualistic culture, we have somewhat lost sight of the important community aspect of Christianity, particularly when it comes to church discipline. One of the more challenging aspects of modern church ministry is what to do when a person’s behaviour threatens the unity and wellbeing of the community. In the nt, we see harsh measures applied to such people, but how do we translate these examples into today’s church? This article looks at the practice of exile or expulsion in the world of the nt generally and the Pauline communities specifically. It will then consider the implications of the practice, as revealed in scripture, and the challenges presented to its implementation in the modern church.

Similarities And Differences

AbstractTo what extent can Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Internet ContentHosts (ICHs) be liable for criminal and civil breaches of the law arising from the distribution of illegal Internet content such as child pornography or other offensive images? Do they have obligations to assist in the prevention and detection of crimes involving illegal content? What about material that breaches privacy, consumer protection, copyright or contract laws? If such liabilities do exist, what can ISPs do to protect themselves? These questions have been approached in several different ways around the world, with a number of regulatory approaches emerging including direct legislative provisions on ISP and ICH obligations, mandatory or optional content blocking or filtering regimes, “three strikes” policies aimed at controlling consumer behaviour, and “safe harbour” provisions for commercial conduct that does not actively assist in the commission of criminal offences or civil wrongs. This article reviews recent developments and emerging schemes of civil and criminal liability that apply to ISPs and ICHs, or that impose requirements on ISPs to act against their customers. Details of these schemes are drawn from a variety of jurisdictions, in order to highlight similarities and differences.

Church ministry to post-modern city dwellers The world today is characterised by postmodernism and urbanisation. Both these processes have a serious impact on the world as we know it – on social life, and also on the ministry of the church. Working from a practical-theological foundation, the church is defined as a “called community of believers”. The issue, however, is how this community should effectively and practically live out their faith in an urbanised post-modern world. This issue is investigated and suggestions in this regard are made.

Over the last decade, there has been an expansion of scholarly and activist engagement with the commons. This interest corresponds to a growing quest for alternatives to capitalism in view of ongoing socio- ecological crises. As neoliberal capitalism intensifies enclosure of the commons, local actions to reclaim old commons and invent new ones to counter these processes are also on the rise. However, there are diverse conceptions of the commons, and pitfalls in their reproduction and in mobilizing this vocabulary in the dominant neoliberal individualistic culture. Our understanding remains limited about how spaces for commons and commoning practices can be expanded, as well as about specific practices, relations and imaginaries that support commons and subjectivities of being-in-common. This Special Issue on the “Commons, Commoning and Co-becomings” seeks to deepen our understanding of ‘actually-existing’ and ‘more-than- human’ commons in the world, and how ways of relating to them open up possibilities of responding to current socioenvironmental challenges and generating beyond-capitalist ways of life. Exploring commoning experiences in diverse settings, the papers assembled in this Special Issue illustrate the role that commons and commoning practices play in reconfiguring human-nature relations. Thinking with these papers, we draw attention to three interrelated areas: relational aspects of the work of commoning (practices, labor, care) in transforming our world and being transformed by it; the role of commons and commoning practices in generating subjectivities of being-in-common; and difference and divergences (or, un-commoning) that persist and emerge in commoning processes. We offer these themes as directions to better understand and enact the potential of commons and commoning for worlding—crafting, (re)producing—of a pluriverse of post-capitalist worlds and life in- common.

Christianity is inseparable from ministry either in a holistic mission or a church ministry. As one of the gifts given by God in believers who must be actualized to God and others through a special gift, namely the gift of serving. Using descriptive qualitative method, the writer analyzes and examines the meaning of the gift of service which is expected to increase understanding and can have an impact on God's servants. which the purpose of writing is to bring believers more active in serving through the gift of serving. By understanding Christian service in Romans 12: 7, it can be concluded that the gift of serving is a must for believers given to him by God. For that the servant is expected to be able and careful in understanding the theological review in Romans 12: 7, so that the servant realizes that the service entrusted is an honor given by God and is done with sincerity as the dedication of a believer who receives gifts based on the example of Jesus. Then interpret service in socio-theology, which makes the meaning of serving which must be actualized to God and others as part of being a blessing for the world.

At this time, we often encounter many church officials who do not carry out their duties properly in a church service that the congregation has untrusted to them. In this paper I will present some reflections on the life of a church official who does not discipline himself in a church service. According to some people think that, discipline in the church is a major omission in some churches today where a leader is afraid to discipline the church to members of the congregation either to a church official, because it is considered contrary to the “love of God” which can cause division in a fellowship with in the church discipline in a congregatin & church, can cause the loss of church members who are affected from outside. Mean while, the major misunderstandings that occur in the church occur due to differences of opinion regarding the meaning, purpose, and nature of church discipline. Many see church discipline as a curse and presentation to a church official or to members of the congregation rather than to be seen as healing love. The purpose of writing this paper is to explain the correct understanding of the importance of church discipline for a church official in a church ministry today

Pragmatist Philosophy

AbstractA pragmatist philosophy of psychological science offers to the direct replication debate concrete recommendations and novel benefits that are not discussed in Zwaan et al. This philosophy guides our work as field experimentalists interested in behavioral measurement. Furthermore, all psychologists can relate to its ultimate aim set out by William James: to study mental processes that provide explanations for why people behave as they do in the world.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl & McCormack argue that animals cannot represent past situations and subsume animals’ memory-like representations within a model of the world. I suggest calling these memory-like representations as what they are without beating around the bush. I refer to them as event memories and explain how they are different from episodic memory and how they can guide action in animal cognition.
