Anger
by Dada BhagwanAnger management is a popular and necessary topic in today’s world. In dealing with difficult people, in our family relationships, or in facing marriage problems, we simply do not know how to deal with anger! When dealing with anger, we may wonder, “Am I right?” or “How can I make myself understood?” Some of our relationships can be said to be the very definition of conflict! Lacking conflict resolution skills, and out of a sense of powerlessness in our circumstances, we become angry. In the book “Anger”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan offers the ultimate anger management techniques in the form of spiritual conflict resolution strategies. He gives numerous solutions for dealing both with our own anger, and the anger of others. In addition, Dadashri offers spiritual advice on how to handle difficult people, anger management tips, and relationship tips.

Anger is something everyone struggles with--whether it’s our own emotion threatening to explode out of control or the anger of others that makes us feel intimidated and afraid.

Best-selling authors Tim LaHaye and Bob Phillips tell us what we need to know to control the emotion of anger. They not only examine it from beginning (its origins) to end (its effects), they also help us evaluate our own “Irritability Quotient” through the Anger Inventory and other exercises throughout the book. In learning how to handle conflicts and anger, we are enabled to heal damaged relationships and help others deal with their anger as well. We can make our lives more peaceful, rewarding, and meaningful by putting anger in its proper place and under our own control.

Anger: Its Religious and Moral Significance (Routledge Revivals)
by George Malcolm StrattonFirst published in 1923, Anger presents some considerations of anger where it comes close to conduct and religion. It is hoped that the explanation of conscience, and of the origins of religion, and particularly of monotheism has been carried a firm step farther than hitherto, and that interest will be found in the novel grouping of the great faiths with respect to wrath. The spirit of the great religions is drawn from their sacred writings. This book will be of interest to students of philosophy and religion.
Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames
by Thich Nhat HanhThe Nobel Peace Prize nominee and internationally bestselling author shares the tools and power for overcoming anger. "Thich Nhat Hanh is a holy man, for he is humble and devout. He is a scholar of immense intellectual capacity. <P><P>His ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity". Martin Luther King, Jr. , in nominating Thich Nhat Hanh for the Nobel Peace Prize It was under the bodhi tree in India twenty-five centuries ago that Buddha achieved the insight that three states of mind were the source of all our unhappiness: ignorance, obsessive desire, and anger. All are equally difficult, but in one instant of anger, lives can be ruined, and our spiritual development can be destroyed. Twenty-five hundred years after the Buddha's enlightenment, medical science tells us that the Buddha was right: anger can also ruin our health. It is one of the most powerful emotions and one of the most difficult to change. Thich Nhat Hanh offers a fresh perspective on taking care of our anger as we would take care of a crying baby-picking it up, talking quietly to it, probing for what is making the baby cry. Laced with stories and techniques, Anger offers a wise and loving look at transforming anger into peace and for bringing harmony and healing to all the areas and relationships in our lives that have been affected by anger.
Angewandte Menschlichkeit
by Dada BhagwanJeder Mensch führt ein Leben, aber wieviel Menschlichkeit besitzt er? Geburt, Ausbildung, Beruf, Ehe, Kinder, Familie und am Ende... der Tod! Ist dies der Standardzyklus des Lebens, dem man folgen muss? Was ist das Endziel eines solchen Lebens? Warum werden wir geboren? Was wollen wir? Der menschliche Körper, den wir erhalten haben, sollte die Aufgabe erfüllen, menschlich zu sein. Im Leben sollte Menschlichkeit sein. Aber was ist laut Param Pujya Dadashri, dem Gnani Purush (dem Erleuchteten),Menschlichkeit? Die Definition von Menschlichkeit ist, dass es dir nicht gefällt, wenn dich jemand verletzt, dir Schwierigkeiten macht. Deshalb solltest du auch niemanden verletzen. Das ist Seiner Meinung nach die größte Menschlichkeit. Wer das versteht und im Leben anwendet, weiß, was Menschlichkeit ist. Einen menschlichen Körper zu bekommen bedeutet, dass man die Freiheit hat, in jede der vier Lebensformen (Gattis) zu gehen. Eine davon ist die menschliche Form, die anderen drei sind die tierische Form, Devgatti(Himmel/Himmlisches Wesen) und NarakGatti(Hölle/bestialische Form). Was auch immer die Ursachen sind, so sind auch die Wirkungen. Wenn wir Menschlichkeit zeigen, werden wir in der nächsten Geburt einen menschlichen Körper bekommen. Wenn wir unmenschlich sind, werden wir in der Tierform wiedergeboren. Wenn wir extrem schlecht und unmenschlich sind, werden wir in NarakGattiwiedergeboren. Wenn wir unser Leben damit verbringen, anderen Gutes zu tun, und ihnen ohne irgendwelche Erwartungen zu helfen, dann erhalten wir ein Leben in Devgatti. In diesem Buch hat Param Pujya Dadashri die Konzepte der Menschlichkeit mit der bescheidenen Absicht erörtert, damit das menschliche Leben der Menschen, wenn sie etwas über Menschlichkeit lernen,fruchtbar sein wird.

Anglican Communion in Crisis: How Episcopal Dissidents and Their African Allies Are Reshaping Anglicanism
by Miranda HassettThe sign outside the conservative, white church in the small southern U.S. town announces that the church is part of the Episcopal Church--of Rwanda. In Anglican Communion in Crisis, Miranda Hassett tells the fascinating story of how a new alliance between conservative American Episcopalians and African Anglicans is transforming conflicts between American Episcopalians--especially over homosexuality--into global conflicts within the Anglican church. In the mid-1990s, conservative American Episcopalians and Anglican leaders from Africa and other parts of the Southern Hemisphere began to forge ties in opposition to the American Episcopal Church's perceived liberalism and growing toleration of homosexuality. This resulted in dozens of American Episcopal churches submitting to the authority of African bishops. Based on wide research, interviews with key participants and observers, and months Hassett spent in a southern U.S. parish of the Episcopal Church of Rwanda and in Anglican communities in Uganda, Anglican Communion in Crisis is the first anthropological examination of the coalition between American Episcopalians and African Anglicans. The book challenges common views--that the relationship between the Americans and Africans is merely one of convenience or even that the Americans bought the support of the Africans. Instead, Hassett argues that their partnership is a deliberate and committed movement that has tapped the power and language of globalization in an effort to move both the American Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion to the right.
Anglican Confirmation 1820-1945: From ‘Renewing the Baptismal Covenant’ to ‘The Sacramental Principle’ (Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies)
by Phillip ToveyThis book focuses on Anglican Confirmation in theology, liturgy, and practice from 1820 to 1945. This was a period of great change in the ways Anglicans approached Confirmation. The Tractarian movement transformed the Communion, and its ideas were carried overseas with the missionary movement. The study examines the development of a two-stage theology and its reception. It analyses the wave of liturgical revision expressed in England in the 1928 Prayer Book. It explores the episcopal changes in practice from the eighteenth-century paradigm to a new way of confirming. The revolution of the time has left a legacy that still informs practice, while doubts about theology and its liturgical application have left an existential crisis. The author reflects on how the current situation in various provinces has its roots in this period and the diffusion of ideas in the Communion. The book offers a fresh systematic examination of the neglected ecclesial practice of Confirmation, providing a more holistic view and clarifying developments to help us better understand the present. It will be of particular interest to scholars of Christian theology, liturgy, ecclesiology, and church history.
Anglican Confirmation 1945–2000: From ‘The Sacramental Principle’ to ‘The Challenge of Baptismal Unity’ (Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies)
by Phillip ToveyThe focus of this book is the theology, liturgy and practice of Anglican Confirmation from 1945 to 2000. It is the third book in a series on Anglican Confirmation. The first chapters look at confirmation on a global and ecumenical level. How have questions about the place and performance of confirmation changed? Then there is a series of case studies from North America, Europe and the wider world. Two chapters are on the theology and practice of the Church of England. Attention is given to liturgical reform, theological discussion and practice, including statistics. In some chapters there are case studies of individual dioceses or bishops to give snapshots of theology in action. This book uses innovative visualization techniques to present data and uses textual network analysis to map the interrelationships of provinces at a liturgical level. The ecumenical ‘baptismal unity’ agenda from Vatican 2 and the World Council of Churches underlies the theological critique. This will be of great value to those in liturgical studies, church history, Anglican studies and to all bishops and clergy involved in confirmation.
Anglican Confirmation: 1662-1820 (Liturgy, Worship and Society Series)
by Phillip ToveyConfirmation was an important part of the life of the eighteenth-century church which consumed a significant part of the time of bishops, of clergy in their preparation of candidates, and of the candidates themselves in terms of a transition in their Christian life. Yet it has been almost entirely overlooked by scholars. This book aims to fill this void in our understanding, and offers an important contribution and correction of our understanding of the life of the church during the long eighteenth century in both Britain and North America. Tovey addresses two important historical debates: the 'pessimist/optimist' debate on the character and condition of the Church of England in the eighteenth century; and the debate on the 're-enchantment' of the eighteenth century which challenges the secular nature of society in the age of the Enlightenment. Drawing on new developments of the study of visitation returns and episcopal life and on primary research in historical records, Anglican Confirmation goes behind the traditional Tractarian interpretations to uncover the understanding and confidence of the eighteenth-century church in the rite of confirmation. The book will be of interest to eighteenth-century church historians, theologians and liturgists alike.

On the other hand, all cross-references and all attributions to (1) theologians of the undivided Church, (2) the works of medieval authors (especially Aquinas’s Summary), and (3) post-reformational English divines (such as Richard Hooker) have been retained as essential to the Catholic character of what I have called—in venturing a distinctive title for this abridgement—“Anglican Dogmatics.”

Anglican Theology (Doing Theology)
by Mark D. ChapmanThis book seeks to explain the ways in which Anglicans have sought to practise theology in their various contexts. It is a clear, insightful, and reliable guide which avoids technical jargon and roots its discussions in concrete examples. The book is primarily a work of historical theology, which engages deeply with key texts and writers from across the tradition (e.g. Cranmer, Jewel, Hooker, Taylor, Butler, Simeon, Pusey, Huntington, Temple, Ramsey, and many others). As well as being suitable for seminary courses, it will be of particular interest to study groups in parishes and churches, as well as to individuals who seek to gain a deeper insight into the traditions of Anglicanism. While it adopts a broad and unpartisan approach, it will also be provocative and lively.
Anglican-Methodist Ecumenism: The Search for Church Unity, 1920-2020 (Routledge Methodist Studies Series)
by Jane Platt and Martin WellingsThis book offers a detailed analysis of one of the key episodes of twentieth-century ecumenism, focusing on the efforts made to reconcile the Church of England and the Methodist Church of Great Britain in the years since the First World War. Drawing on newly available archives as well as on a broad range of historical, theological, and liturgical expertise, the contributions explore what was attempted, why success proved elusive, and how the quest for unity was reconfigured into the twenty-first century. The volume sets contemporary ecumenical ambitions in historical context, explains the origins, course, and aftermath of the Anglican–Methodist ‘Conversations’ of 1955–72, retrieves their enduring global legacy, and explores the fraught nature of the ecumenical quest. It will be of key interest to scholars with an interest in ecumenism, Methodist studies, and church history.
Anglicanism In Australia: A History
by Kaye, BruceThis benchmark work is unlike anything previously attempted. It is the first comprehensive national history of Anglicans in Australia. Anglicanism in Australia is an important contribution to our social history. Its authors have moved beyond biography and histories of individual congregations to create a broad, complex, layered history. They assess Anglicanism's contribution to Australian social, political and cultural life. They explore the processes by which a highly centralised English institution has been reshaped by the environment and experience of this country. The book begins with a fascinating and thoroughly researched narrative account-which moves from the arrival with the First Fleet of an Anglican chaplain, right through to the 1990s. Along the way it charts, among many other events, the nineteenth-century church buffeted by the pendulum swings of 'state aid'; the nationalistic fervour of wartime, and the political radicalism of the 1960s. In its second half, Anglicanism in Australia looks at Anglicans dealing with a broad spectrum of issues: the family, questions of gender, Indigenous peoples, the visual arts, the search for a national identity. It acknowledges the wide variety of Anglican views and reveals how regional identity, a powerful force in many other areas of Australian life, has expressed itself both positively and negatively during the past two centuries. Anglicanism in Australia will be an indispensible research tool for Australian social historians, an invaluable general reference work and, above all, a treasury for those close to the Anglican Church or interested in church history.

Anglicanism: A Very Short Introduction
by Mark ChapmanWhat is Anglicanism? How is it different from other forms of Christianity, and how did it come to have so many different versions throughout the world? Although originally united by location and a common belief, Anglicanism has gradually lost its preeminence as the English state church due to increasing pluralisation and secularisation. While there are distinctive themes and emphases which emerge from its early history and theology, there is little sense of unity in Anglicanism today. In Anglicanism: A Very Short Introduction, Mark Chapman highlights the diversity of contemporary Anglicanism by exploring its fascinating history, theology, and structures. Putting the history and development of the religion into context, Chapman reveals what it is that holds Anglicanism together despite the recent crises that threaten to tear it apart.
Anglicanism: Confidence, Commitment and Communion (Routledge Contemporary Ecclesiology)
by Martyn PercyThis focused concentration and celebration of Anglican life could not be more timely. Debates on sexuality and gender (including women bishops), whether or not the church has a Covenant, or can be a Communion, and how it is ultimately led, are issues that have dominated the ecclesial horizon for several decades. No book on Anglicanism can ever claim to have all the answers to all the questions. However, Martyn Percy’s work does offer significant new insights and illumination - highlighting just how rich and reflexive the Anglican tradition can be in living and proclaiming the gospel of Christ. These essays provide some sharply-focused snapshots of contemporary Anglicanism, and cover many of the crucial issues affecting Anglicans today, such as the nature of mission and ministry, theological training and formation, and ecclesial identity and leadership. Church culture is often prey to contemporary fads and fashion. Percy’s work calls Anglicanism to deeper discipleship; to attend to its roots, identity and shape; and to inhabit the world with a faith rooted in commitment, confidence and Christ.

Anglicans and Puritans?: Presbyterianism and English Conformist Thought from Whitgift to Hooker
by Peter LakeOriginally published in 1988, this was the first full and scholarly account of the formal Elizabethan and Jacobean debates between Presbyterians and conformists concerning the government of the church. This book shed new light on the crucial disagreements between puritans and conformists and the importance of these divisions for political processes within both the church and wider society. The originality and complexity of Richard Hooker’s thought is discussed and the extent to which Hooker redefined the essence of English Protestantism. The book will be of interest to historians of the late 16th and 17th Centuries and to those interested in church history and the development of Protestantism.
