THERE IS NO ‘SAFE SPACE’- A CRITICAL INSIGHT TO FRAME CONVERSATIONS AROUND SOCIAL JUSTICE EDUCATION 没有“安全空间”——这是围绕社会正义教育构建对话的关键见解
IF 0.8 0 RELIGION Pub Date : 2022-02-10 DOI: 10.47967/tor2022trans.vol7.09
‘Safe space’ has often been used as a slogan in educational settings to refer to ways of addressing difficult conversations around race and racism which are grounded in respect, openness and safety. However, do ‘safe spaces’ really exist? In this reflexive piece, I problematise the concept of ‘safe space’ and unpack what this may mean and look like within and beyond classrooms. I draw on previous scholarly work on social justice and anti-racist education, as well as my personal experience as an educator, to interrupt current thinking and re-imagine spaces beyond the illusion of safety. In addition, instead of striving to create safe spaces which do not exist, I propose a framework for educators as a starting point to reflect and manage the dynamics, tensions and complexities of spaces. Such a framework is not a fixed formula but a set of practical guidelines which are open to further improvements and reflection.
“安全空间”经常被用作教育环境中的口号,指的是以尊重、开放和安全为基础,解决围绕种族和种族主义的艰难对话的方法。然而,“安全空间”真的存在吗?在这篇反思性的文章中,我对“安全空间”的概念提出了质疑,并揭示了这可能意味着什么,以及教室内外的样子。我借鉴了以前关于社会正义和反种族主义教育的学术工作,以及我作为一名教育工作者的个人经历,打断了当前的思维,重新想象了安全幻觉之外的空间。此外,我没有努力创造不存在的安全空间,而是为教育工作者提出了一个框架,作为反映和管理空间动态、紧张和复杂性的起点。这样一个框架不是一个固定的公式,而是一套可供进一步改进和思考的实用准则。

COVID-19 AND MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH COVID-19与孕产妇心理健康
IF 0.8 0 RELIGION Pub Date : 2022-02-10 DOI: 10.47967/tor2022trans.vol7.05
The world is facing unprecedented times. The global pandemic announced in 2019 is having a significant impact on many aspects of people’s lives. Amongst other things, the pandemic is revealing the consequences of decades of cuts in public health investments. Health systems around the world are struggling to face surges in demand. Pregnant women and the mental health of new mothers is being undermined by numerous COVID-related changes in antenatal and postnatal care. For instance, perinatal care is reduced or provided only virtually, to comply with social distancing measures. This means fewer opportunities for health professionals to identify foetal distress and prenatal or postnatal maternal distress. Considering that maternal well-being is one of the main determinants of children’s well-being, the present article highlights the importance of improving health and support services for pregnant women and new mothers. Future generations are at risk of developing mental health problems because of the current pandemic; this can be prevented, but only if urgent action is taken.
世界正面临前所未有的时代。2019年宣布的全球疫情正在对人们生活的许多方面产生重大影响。除其他外,疫情揭示了数十年来公共卫生投资削减的后果。世界各地的卫生系统都在努力应对需求的激增。孕妇和新妈妈的心理健康正受到产前和产后护理中许多与新冠肺炎相关的变化的破坏。例如,为了遵守社交距离措施,减少或仅以虚拟方式提供围产期护理。这意味着卫生专业人员识别胎儿窘迫和产前或产后产妇窘迫的机会减少。考虑到孕产妇福祉是儿童福祉的主要决定因素之一,本文强调了改善孕妇和新妈妈的健康和支持服务的重要性。由于当前的疫情,后代面临着出现心理健康问题的风险;这是可以避免的,但前提是必须采取紧急行动。

LEARNING TO LIVE IN A RADICALLY UNCERTAIN WORLD 学会生活在一个完全不确定的世界
IF 0.8 0 RELIGION Pub Date : 2022-02-10 DOI: 10.47967/tor2022trans.vol7.01
The past few years have been fraught with uncertainty. In this essay, I review and reflect on Mervyn King and John Kay’s topical book Radical Uncertainty (2020). In the book, King and Kay defend the usefulness of viewing some types of uncertainty as unquantifiable. In what follows, I will argue that this is a plausible characterisation of uncertainty, and I reflect on the extent to which it has helped me frame both my own personal experience of uncertainty and the uncertainty we have all faced due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
过去几年充满了不确定性。在这篇文章中,我回顾并反思了默文·金和约翰·凯的主题书《激进的不确定性》(2020)。在书中,金和凯为将某些类型的不确定性视为不可量化的有用性辩护。在下文中,我将争辩说,这是对不确定性的合理描述,我反思它在多大程度上帮助我构建了我个人的不确定性体验,以及我们因新冠肺炎大流行而面临的不确定性。

This article discusses how pre-Genocide foreign missionary activity prepared the way for relief and existential support during and after the Armenian Genocide of 1915–1921. Examples are drawn from American, British, and German Protestant missionary organisations, especially the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, the Turkish Missions Aid Society or Bible Lands Missions Aid Society, and the Christlicher Hilfsbund im Orient. These agencies developed missionary and relief methods and transnational networks which were utilised by the Action Chrétienne en Orient (ACO) and other twentieth-century mission agencies in their work among Armenian communities.

Between Nationalism, Internationalism and Colonial Quadrillage: The Action Chrétienne en Orient in Mandatory Syria (1922–1946) 在民族主义、国际主义和殖民四合院之间:在强制叙利亚的东方基督教行动(1922-1946)

Despite growing internationalization, national ties have remained a structural aspect of missionary and humanitarian work. This was especially true of the Interwar period in the Middle East, where colonial powers, independent states and political ideologies competed. The beginnings of the Action Chrétienne en Orient (ACO) bear witness to this: the ACO, specialized in assistance to Christian Anatolian refugees and missionary work towards Muslims, made strategic use of its national connections. It retained German and Protestant connections, while serving as a formally French broker between refugees or Protestant missionary organizations and the French colonial authority. Yet as looming independence seemed to threaten the position of Christian refugees, the ACO gradually entered the ‘colonial quadrillage’ through which France exerted guidance over voluntary organizations.
尽管日益国际化,国家关系仍然是传教和人道主义工作的一个结构性方面。在两次世界大战之间的中东,殖民势力、独立国家和政治意识形态相互竞争的时期尤其如此。东方基督教社团行动的开始证明了这一点:专门援助基督教安纳托利亚难民和向穆斯林传教工作的社团战略性地利用了其国家关系。它保留了德国和新教的联系,同时作为难民或新教传教组织与法国殖民当局之间的正式法国中间人。然而,随着即将到来的独立似乎威胁到基督教难民的地位,非洲合作组织逐渐进入了“殖民四边形”,法国通过它对志愿组织施加指导。

Book Review: History of Monasticism: The Eastern Tradition by John Binns 书评:约翰·宾斯的《修道史:东方传统》

Calum Samuelson
John Binns currently holds teaching and research roles at the Institute of Orthodox Christian Studies (IOCS) in Cambridge and at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, respectively. His semi-retired status, however, hardly conveys the full extent of his experience. Having served as parish priest of Great St Mary’s the University Church Cambridge for over two decades, Binns has worked closely with academics in the university and has considerable ecumenical experience with Orthodox institutions in countries such as Serbia, Russia, Ethiopia, Israel/ Palestine, and Romania. Writing as an Anglican with his broad background in the Orthodox world, Binns is aptly situated to provide a balanced presentation of the subject in view. The work itself is rather ambitious as it seeks to conduct an overview of the entire eastern monastic tradition. While other works have focused on the theological, institutional, or cultural development of the tradition, this book stands apart in its attempt to address all these together. Binns states that he intends to aim for “clarity” rather than “consistency” regarding the spelling conventions of various monks (p. 5). This statement can be extended as a reasonable descriptor of the entire text insofar as Binns selects different elements to represent distinct streams within the complex phenomenon of eastern monasticism. This seems to be a prudent measure given the scope of the work, and this reviewer deems it to be successful on the whole. Readers are given a clear outline of the book’s structure, which is divided into five sections. In line with Binns’ varied approach, these sections differ significantly in length and focus. Part One reviews the foundational precursors that contributed to the birth of monasticism proper. Therein, the author lays out a remarkably lucid summary of ancient practices ranging from Christian and Jewish to Greek and even Buddhist traditions. Part Two deals with the actual practice of monasticism as it was developed, guided, and controlled by the newly Christian hierarchies of Byzantine church and state. This section sensibly selects the Ecumenical Councils as a chronological parameter and consequently engages key debates surrounding Christology and Iconoclasm vis-à-vis increasingly powerful monastic communities. It becomes apparent that monks themselves were thoroughly enmeshed in these debates, which renders futile any attempt to partition the monastic movement from the cultural and political struggles of the Byzantine Empire. A key feature of this section is the way that Binns considers distinct geographical regions in turn, exploring the Stoudite, Sabaite, and Laurite “styles” in the process. Thus, Egypt is handled apart from Syria and Asia Minor apart from the urban environs of Jerusalem and Constantinople. Part Three follows various developments in monasticism from the “Triumph of Orthodoxy” after Iconoclasm until the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Binns traces expansion
约翰·宾斯目前分别在剑桥东正教研究所(IOCS)和伦敦东方与非洲研究学院(SOAS)担任教学和研究职务。然而,他的半退休身份很难传达他的全部经验。宾斯曾担任剑桥大学大圣玛丽教堂的教区牧师20多年,与大学的学者密切合作,并在塞尔维亚、俄罗斯、埃塞俄比亚、以色列/巴勒斯坦和罗马尼亚等国的东正教机构中拥有丰富的普世教会经验。作为一名圣公会教徒,他在东正教世界有着广泛的背景,宾斯恰如其分地为这个主题提供了一个平衡的呈现。这项工作本身是相当雄心勃勃的,因为它试图对整个东方修道院传统进行概述。虽然其他作品都集中在神学,制度,或传统的文化发展,这本书站在其试图解决所有这些在一起。宾斯表示,他打算以“清晰”而不是“一致”为目标,考虑到不同僧侣的拼写习惯(第5页)。只要宾斯选择不同的元素来代表东方修道主义复杂现象中的不同流,这句话就可以扩展为对整个文本的合理描述。考虑到工作的范围,这似乎是一个谨慎的措施,并且这个审稿人认为它总体上是成功的。读者可以清楚地了解到全书的结构,全书共分为五个部分。与宾斯多样化的方法一致,这些章节在长度和重点上有很大的不同。第一部分回顾了导致修道主义诞生的基本因素。在书中,作者对从基督教、犹太教到希腊甚至佛教传统的古代习俗进行了非常清晰的总结。第二部分讨论了修道院的实际实践,它是由拜占庭教会和国家的新基督教等级制度发展,指导和控制的。本节明智地选择了大公会议作为一个时间参数,因此围绕基督论和圣像破坏论与-à-vis日益强大的修道院社区进行了关键的辩论。很明显,僧侣们自己完全卷入了这些争论,这使得任何将修道院运动与拜占庭帝国的文化和政治斗争分开的企图都是徒劳的。本节的一个关键特点是Binns依次考虑不同的地理区域,在此过程中探索了Stoudite、Sabaite和Laurite的“风格”。因此,埃及除了叙利亚和小亚细亚之外,除了耶路撒冷和君士坦丁堡的城市周边地区。第三部分讲述了修道主义的各种发展,从圣像破坏运动后的“东正教的胜利”到1453年君士坦丁堡的陷落。宾斯沿着指南针的四个点追踪扩张。本尼迪克特在西方和西里尔的著名功绩与书评

Book Review: Christian compassion: A charitable history by Monty Lynn 书评:《基督徒的同情:一段慈善历史》,作者:蒙蒂·林恩
IF 0.8 0 RELIGION Pub Date : 2022-01-01 DOI: 10.1177/02653788211070022
Drick Boyd
Monty Lynn calls compassion “an enduring motif in the history of Christianity” (p. 1) and in this book “Christian Compassion: A Charitable History” documents the manner in which compassion has been understood and practiced throughout the Christian history. He defines compassion as “a divinely inspired calling to charity, mercy, service and justice that participates in the suffering, love and hope of all humanity, and thereby enables us to partake in God’s healing of the world” (p. 1). In the opening chapter, Lynn stresses that his goal is to show how compassion has been understood and practiced through the ages, while grounding his understanding of compassion in key Biblical texts such as the Parable of the Good Samaritan, the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, the imago Dei, and Paul’s injunctions to churches he founded. He stresses that compassion is not just an ethical ideal, but something that is felt, heard, seen, desired and acted out. Lynn divides Christian history into three eras—Antique and Medieval, covering the 1st to the 15th centuries; Modern, covering the 16th to the 19th centuries; and Contemporary, dealing with the 20th century to the present. According to Lynn, during the Antique and Medieval period, the first Christians began living out their faith in community with others, mutually sharing their material goods while facing persecution from both Jewish antagonists and their Roman overseers. However, with the conversion of Emperor Constantine in 313, Christianity went from being a marginalized faith to the religion of the powerful. Fearing an unholy alliance between political power and faith, the ascetic movement emerged, where hundreds of mystics withdrew to the desert, and stressed living simple lives, communal living, and the cultivation of righteous character and personal virtues. At the same time recognizing the dramatic change in the socio-political status of Christianity, thinkers such as Augustine grappled with how wealth could be used to relieve the suffering of the poor. Like Augustine, many church leaders wrote about the importance of sharing one’s goods with the poor, but it is unclear how the powerful elite received and responded to these calls for sharing. In the period between the 5th and 15th centuries, in the name of Christianity the Roman Empire conquered and spread the gospel by fiat and often involved war, slavery and other means of oppression, which dramatically departed from the early Christian message of sharing and compassion for the marginalized.

Monty Lynn称同情为“基督教历史上一个持久的主题”(第1页),在这本书“基督教同情:一个慈善的历史”中,记录了在整个基督教历史中同情被理解和实践的方式。他将同情心定义为“一种神圣的感召,要求慈善、怜悯、服务和正义,参与全人类的痛苦、爱和希望,从而使我们能够参与上帝对世界的治疗”(第1页)。在开篇,林恩强调,他的目标是展示世世代代人们是如何理解和实践同情心的,同时将他对同情心的理解建立在圣经关键文本的基础上,比如好撒玛利亚人的寓言。绵羊和山羊的比喻,上帝的形象,以及保罗对他所建立的教堂的命令。他强调,同情心不仅仅是一种道德理想,而是一种可以感受到、听到、看到、渴望并付诸行动的东西。林恩将基督教历史分为三个时期:古代和中世纪,涵盖1世纪到15世纪;现代的,从16世纪到19世纪;当代的,从20世纪到现在。根据林恩的说法,在古代和中世纪时期,第一批基督徒开始在社区中与其他人一起生活,相互分享他们的物质财富,同时面临犹太对手和罗马监督者的迫害。然而,随着公元313年君士坦丁皇帝的皈依,基督教从一个被边缘化的信仰变成了权力的宗教。由于担心政治权力和信仰之间的邪恶联盟,苦行运动出现了,数百名神秘主义者撤退到沙漠中,强调过简单的生活,集体生活,培养正直的品格和个人美德。在认识到基督教社会政治地位的巨大变化的同时,奥古斯丁等思想家开始思考如何利用财富来减轻穷人的痛苦。像奥古斯丁一样,许多教会领袖都写过与穷人分享财产的重要性,但不清楚那些有权有势的精英是如何接受和回应这些分享的呼吁的。在5世纪至15世纪期间,罗马帝国以基督教的名义通过法令征服和传播福音,并经常涉及战争、奴隶制和其他压迫手段,这与早期基督教分享和同情边缘化群体的信息明显背离。正如林恩所描述的,从16世纪到19世纪的现代,其特点是新教从罗马教会分裂出来,教会和国家结盟,以促进社会福利和教会的教义。在持续不断的争夺主权和控制权的斗争中,改革者如庞塞·德·莱昂、门诺·西蒙斯和罗耀拉的伊格内修斯向边缘化群体伸出了援助之手,他们自己也经常因为与占主导地位的罗马天主教和新教群体分离而受到迫害。与此同时,像马丁·路德这样的改革者

He defines compassion as “a divinely inspired calling to charity, mercy, service and justice that participates in the suffering, love and hope of all humanity, and thereby enables us to partake in God’s healing of the world” (p. 1). In the opening chapter, Lynn stresses that his goal is to show how compassion has been understood and practiced through the ages, while grounding his understanding of compassion in key Biblical texts such as the Parable of the Good Samaritan, the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, the imago Dei, and Paul’s injunctions to churches he founded. He stresses that compassion is not just an ethical ideal, but something that is felt, heard, seen, desired and acted out. Lynn divides Christian history into three eras—Antique and Medieval, covering the 1st to the 15th centuries; Modern, covering the 16th to the 19th centuries; and Contemporary, dealing with the 20th century to the present. According to Lynn, during the Antique and Medieval period, the first Christians began living out their faith in community with others, mutually sharing their material goods while facing persecution from both Jewish antagonists and their Roman overseers. However, with the conversion of Emperor Constantine in 313, Christianity went from being a marginalized faith to the religion of the powerful. Fearing an unholy alliance between political power and faith, the ascetic movement emerged, where hundreds of mystics withdrew to the desert, and stressed living simple lives, communal living, and the cultivation of righteous character and personal virtues. At the same time recognizing the dramatic change in the socio-political status of Christianity, thinkers such as Augustine grappled with how wealth could be used to relieve the suffering of the poor. Like Augustine, many church leaders wrote about the importance of sharing one’s goods with the poor, but it is unclear how the powerful elite received and responded to these calls for sharing. In the period between the 5th and 15th centuries, in the name of Christianity the Roman Empire conquered and spread the gospel by fiat and often involved war, slavery and other means of oppression, which dramatically departed from the early Christian message of sharing and compassion for the marginalized. The Modern Era from the 16th to the 19th century, as described by Lynn, was characterized by the Protestant split from the Roman Church and the alliance of the Church and State to promote social welfare and the teachings of the church.
