Hospital Handbook on Multiculturalism and Religion

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kirkwood, Neville A., PUBLISHER: Morehouse Publishing, In our religiously pluralistic society, clergy, medical and nursing staffs in modern hospitals are confronted with caring for people with varied beliefs and customs. Since the overall care of a patient, and not just the surgeries performed or medicines given, affect an individual's recovery, it is vitally important to be familiar with cultural and religious understandings and expectations around hygiene, pastoral care, autopsies, transfusions, and even the practices associated with death itself. A Hospital Handbook on Multiculturalism and Religion is a succinct guide to the care of patients from a variety of faith perspectives: Christian, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhist, B'hai, and others. Each chapter examines not only the customs themselves, but the significance of certain rites and attitudes, supplying health care workers and chaplains with the information they need to provide the best care possible.

Son of Man: The Mystical Way to Christ

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Harvey, Andrew / Hamut, Eryk / Hanut, Eryk, PUBLISHER: Putnam Publishing Group, Son of Man is both a celebration of the mystical Christ and a practical guidebook to contacting Christ and experiencing what St. Paul called "the glorious liberty of the children of God". The New York Times recently wrote, "The spirit that moves Andrew Harvey is gaining him literary acclaim". In his long-awaited major new book, Son of Man, Harvey explores the sacred feminine aspects of Jesus. He explains that Christ came to help release humanity from all bonds of false authority and to reveal to people their own divine identity, thereby awakening all to the freedom, dignity, and joy that is within them. In the second section, Harvey offers transformative ways of realizing the power of Christ. These practices are drawn from the early Christian traditions of mantra, medieval mystic devotional practices, the vision of prayer of Teresa of Avila, and based upon the author's own experiences of the meditation and visualization practices of Hinduism, Sufism, and Tibetan Buddhism. A section of meditations and readings at the end -- including recently discovered Gnostic gospels -- complete the readers full experience in the mystical Christ. A beautiful volume of text and photographs, Son of Man will help us enter into a union with Christ as he becomes the "source and principle of divine life" (Thomas Merton) within us. Index. Bibliography.
