The Church after Innovation – Questioning Our Obsession with Work, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship
Outreach 2023 Resource of the Year (Church)Named One of Fifteen Important Theology Books of 2022, Englewood Review of BooksChurches and their leaders have innovation fever.Innovation seems exciting--a way to enliven tired institutions, embrace creativity, and be proactive--and is a superstar of the business world.But this focus on innovation may be caused by an obsession with contemporary relevance, creativity, and entrepreneurship that inflates the self, lacks theological depth, and promises burnout. In this follow-up to Churches and the Crisis of Decline, leading practical theologian Andrew Root delves into the problems of innovation.He explores where innovation and entrepreneurship came from, shows how they break into church circles, and counters the "new imaginations" like neoliberalism and technology that hold the church captive to modernity.Root reveals the moral visions of the self that innovation and entrepreneurship deliver--they are dependent on workers (and consumers) being obsessed with their selves, which leads to significant faith-formation issues.This focus on innovation also causes us to think we need to be singularly unique instead of made alive in Christ.Root offers a return to mysticism and the poetry of Meister Eckhart as a healthier spiritual alternative. This is the fifth book in Root's Ministry in a Secular Age series.

Our Others : Stories of Ukrainian Diversity
This is an award-winning exploration of both the histories and personal stories of fourteen ethnic minority groups living within the boundaries of present-day Ukraine: Czechs and Slovaks, Meskhetian Turks, Swedes, Romanians, Hungarians, Roma, Jews, Liptaks, Gagauzes, Germans, Vlachs, Poles, Crimean Tatars, and Armenians.Based on a combination of academic research, fieldwork, and interviews, Olesya Yaremchuks literary reportages paint realistic, thoughtful, and historically informed depictions of how these various groups arrived in Ukraine and how they have fared within the countrys borders.Accompanied by vivid photographs that bring the reportages to life, Our Others is in some respects a chronicle of the myriad voluntary and forced migrations that have rolled through Ukraine for centuries.Simultaneously, the book offers a tender -- and timely -- study of the little islands of cultural diversity in Ukraine that have survived the Soviet steamroller of planned linguistic, cultural, and religious unification and that deserve acknowledgement in Ukraines broader cultural identity.The volumes contributors are: Marta Barnych (contributing co-author), Anton Semyzhenko (contributing co-author), Ostap Slyvynsky (foreword)

Does technology control our everyday decisions or do our decisions control technology?
Our decisions ultimately control technology. While technology may influence our choices and behaviors, it is ultimately up to us to decide how we use and interact with technology in our everyday lives. We have the power to choose when and how to use technology, and to set boundaries and limits for ourselves. It's important to be mindful of our relationship with technology and to make conscious decisions about how we integrate it into our daily routines.

Is there still enough diversity of opinion in our free media?
While there is still a diversity of opinion in the free media, there are concerns about the concentration of media ownership and the rise of echo chambers on social media. Large media conglomerates and tech platforms have significant influence over the information that is disseminated, which can limit the range of perspectives available to the public. Additionally, the polarized nature of political discourse has led to the proliferation of partisan news outlets, further narrowing the diversity of opinion. It is important for media consumers to seek out a variety of sources and critically evaluate the information they encounter to ensure they are exposed to diverse viewpoints.

Rewriting Our Stories : Education, empowerment, and well-being
Rewriting Our Stories: Education, empowerment and well-being harnesses the therapeutic power of storytelling to convert feelings of fear and powerlessness into affirmative life narratives.Rather than seeing fear as an outcome, we can view it as a feeling in the moment largely governed by narratives.Many of our fears are stories we tell ourselves, even if they are largely fictional and rooted in sociocultural belief systems.The result is that we often feel helpless in the face of those fears.This transformational book considers a potent antidote: by recognising our recurring negative stories, we can rewrite and transform them to achieve greater empowerment and well-being in our lives.Storytelling is an antidote to fear. Throughout human existence, no matter where our place of origin or when in history, storytelling shapes our societies, influencing personal, sociocultural, educational, and public discourses that impact how we live.Creating and communicating the language of stories - to ourselves and others - enhances our innate voices and can empower us to engage in greater empathy, compassion, and possibility.Intended for educators, leaders, therapists, mental health professionals, change management, or youth organisations, as well as the general public, Derek Gladwin offers practical and positive tools for everyone to re-author their lives.

Pushing our Understanding of Diversity in Organizations
Few time periods in the past five decades match the intensity of intergroup conflict that people around the world are currently experiencing.Polarized attitudes around various sociopolitical issues, such as gender equality and immigration, have dominated the media and our lives.Furthermore, these powerful social dynamics have also impacted the places where we work and intensified existing strains on workers and workplaces.To address these issues and improve organizational climates, more theories, research and collaborations to understand these phenomena are needed.The volumes in this series will describe and instigate scholarship that advances our understanding of diversity in organizations. This volume features renowned scholars who are unabashedly pushing the field by raising the questions that need to be asked, by working on topics that have received far too little research attention, and by holding researchers, practitioners, managers, organizations, and readers to task for doing what needs to be done to maximize social justice and egalitarian behaviors in the workplace.The chapters provoke the status quo in society and in scholarship, and in so doing, push our understanding of diversity in organizations.

The nervous system is a complex network of nerves and cells that transmit signals between different parts of the body, while the subconscious refers to the part of our mind that operates below our conscious awareness. The nervous system plays a role in both conscious and subconscious processes, but they are distinct aspects of our physiology and psychology.
