Humankind faith7/6/2023 Humanising Incarceration: A Prison Chaplain’s Response to ‘a Rising Toll of Despair’. MPhil, Department of Theology, University of Birmingham. The Church and Its Social Context: An Experimental Redescription of the Church in Its Social Context-with Special Reference to the Church of England. I do so whilst recognising the hopelessness that must be truthfully honoured in seeking and maintaining tragic hope. I then turn to the topic of hope and explore its texture at a political, institutional and personal level. 5 I discuss how mass incarceration is frequently detrimental to the emotional/relational, intellectual/psychological, spiritual/transcendent and physical/material aspects of being human. Returning to the four-part holistic Christian anthropology I introduced in Chap. The Parable of the Prodigal Son narratively illustrates the prodigality of compassion such love engenders. The Trinitarian thinking I apply here suggests that, in the Incarnation, there is an outworking of divine love. Imago Dei and ‘Being-in-Communion’ are two theological lenses I use in constructing this anthropology and show how hard-line penal narratives undermine the human dignity these Christian theological understandings seek to foster. As my overarching concern is one of humanising incarceration, here I explicate a model of what it is to be human, an anthropology. This chapter marks my entering of the third phase of my enquiry following the pastoral cycle: Reflecting on Practice.

So, you should optimize the website so it can also work quickly without the full-page cache. Therefore, if your store has thousands of products, the whole full-page cache might not even have enough time to be generated.

Deep roots harvest wendover7/5/2023 Mesquite council continues to wrestle with marijuana revenueĭeep Roots CEO asks to meet with council to discuss school funding Across Nevada Mesquite council to reconsider fund to aid local education The fund would be used to supplement local education needs and would also be advised by the CEAB. 526 proposes creating a fund using 16.67 percent (or one half of one percent of the three percent business license fee) of all revenue generated from cannabis establishments in Mesquite. The resolution states that any revenue collected by the city in excess of the already allocated $240,000 - but not exceeding the amount of $60,000 - will be placed in a fund that would be advised by the Virgin Valley Community Education Advisory Board (CEAB). 941 proposes putting up to $60,000 in a special trust for the 2017-18 fiscal year, then revisiting how to officially allocate funds during next year’s budget sessions. Those who have argued against allocating a fraction of the percentage to schools right now say that it’s too early to tell what that amount will equate to. Those city councilors in favor argue that the spirit of legalizing cannabis for adult use when it was voted on by Nevadans last November was to support education through revenue. The semantics have been the center of the debate. All city council members have stated they are in favor of providing additional money to the schools. Any money after that still goes to the city but hasn’t been allocated for any budgetary purpose.Ī months-long debate over taking one half of 1 percent of the 3 percent business license fee to supplement local education has dominated recent city council meetings.
