Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to examine the concept of isolation as it occurs within the profession of ministry. Isolation, for the purpose of this thesis, is defined social-psychologically. Within the field research isolation is considered as evidenced professionally, socially and spiritually. This study utilized as its sample base 200 hundred Church of Scotland ministers (15% of total population) which provided 159 usable responses to an extensive mail survey. The mail survey consisted of a questionnaire designed and tested to measure experienced isolation; the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, a personality measure; and the Purpose In Life Test, a measure of motivation. A further 15% of the respondents were selected by random process for direct interviews. The thesis is divided into four primary sections; psychological perspective, theological perspective , field research, summary and conclusions. Chapter 1 reviews eight psychological perceptions of isolation as found in the works of such notables as Freud, Adler, Fromm, Horney, Laing, Sullivan, and Frankl. From these it was determined that common to all perspectives of isolation was a primary isolation from the SELF. In chapters 2 and 3a model of isolation was developed from the work of C. G. Jung and applied to the profession of ministry. Chapters 4 to 6 examine the concept of separation from the self from a theological perspective as found in the works of P. Tillich and E. Brunner. Chapter 6 develops a composite view of the self and considers it in light of the redemptive process. Chapters 7 to 10 review the actual field study conducted by the researcher among the Church of Scotland ministers. This study concludes in Chapter 11 with a summary of the findings and their implications for the ministry of the church. The salient factor evidenced was that isolation is not primarily an inter-relational problem, but rather an intrarelational phenomenon.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
PROGRAMA DE SUPORTE À PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO DE INSTS. DE ENSINO
A presente pesquisa é um diálogo entre dois temas fundamentais e, ao mesmo tempo, desafiadores para a agenda pastoral do século XXI: iniciação à vida cristã e instituição paroquial. Iniciar na fé, em tempos do fim do cristianismo sociológico, e atrair para a vida em comunidade, quando cresce a disinstitucionalização religiosa, são tarefas nada fáceis. A Igreja vem se empenhando para responder a tais desafios. Encontrou no catecumenato a grande redescoberta pastoral para iniciar na fé. Trata-se de um caminho privilegiado de transmitir a fé, de amadurecê-la e fazê-la progredir. A pedagogia catecumenal possui características fundamentais para o amadurecimento do ser cristão, tais como a progressividade da fé, o casamento catequese-liturgia, forte densidade mistagógica e experiencial da fé, entre outras. Contudo, o catecumenato depende de renovadas estruturas eclesiais, e aqui chegamos ao paroquial, cujo cansaço institucional não vem de hoje, assim como não são de hoje as tentativas de renovação. Nossa pesquisa mostra que fundamental é perceber que iniciação cristã catecumenal e renovação paroquial não são dois temas distantes, por isso mesmo devem ser pensados conjuntamente, na certeza de que o futuro de um depende da vitalidade do outro, e vice-versa. Há entre eles uma relação muito próxima, uma feliz dependência, a qual chamamos relação dialética. A dinâmica catecumenal é fundamental não somente para a iniciação cristã, mas questiona, provoca, ilumina a conversão paroquial, e esta, à medida que se renova é decisiva para a consolidação e prática catecumenal. Portanto, trata-se de um processo relacional, de iluminação mútua. Entre novo modelo de paróquia, e consolidação da prática catecumenal, o futuro de um depende da vitalidade do outro.
This present research is a dialogue between two fundamental themes and at the same time challenging for the pastoral agenda of the XXI century: initiation into Christian life and parochial institution. Initiate faith, in the end times of sociological Christianity, and to attract community life, when growing religious disinstitutionalization, are not easy tasks. The Church has been committed to respond to these challenges. In the catechumenate, is found the great pastoral rediscovery of faith initiation. It treats a privileged way to transmit faith, ripen it and make it progress. The catechumenal pedagogy has fundamental characteristics for the maturity of the Christian being, such as the progressing of faith, the marriage catechesis- liturgy, strong mystagogic density and experiential of faith, among others. However, the catechumenate depends on renewed ecclesial structures, and here we come to the parochial level, whose institutional fatigue does not come today, as they are not today s attempts of renewals. Our research shows that fundamentally, it is seem that, the Christian Initiation catechumenal and the parochial renewal are not two distinct themes , therefore, should be thought of together, in the certainty that the future of one depends on the vitality of the other, and vice versa . There is a very close relationship between them, a happy dependency, which we call dialectical relationship. The catechumenal dynamical is essential not only for the Christian initiation, but questions, provokes, enlightens parochial conversion, and this , as it renews itself, is decisive for the consolidation and catechumenal practice. Therefore, it treats a relational process of mutual illumination. Among new model of parochial, and consolidating catechumenal practice, the future of one depends on the vitality of the other.

Abstract:
This study examines the lived experience and perceptions of the wives of the Elizabethan parish clergy following the introduction of clerical marriage. It challenges the widespread, but mistaken conviction that the first ministers’ wives have vanished from the historical record and shifts the emphasis from the institution to the individual. This has been achieved by consulting a large and heterogeneous collection of archival material including more than 1000 parish registers, 1000 wills, marriage licences, church court records, memorials and some newly-discovered certificates for ministers’ wives. This body of evidence, assembled from twelve dioceses in the southern province and from the archbishopric of York, demonstrates that the story of parish clergy wives can indeed be recovered. Qualitative and statistical analyses of social origin, considered assessments of the extent and nature of the abuse aimed at minister’s wives and a re-evaluation of the persistence, structure and significance of the letter testimonial refute most of the common assumptions about clergy wives derived from speculation and generalization. The impact of clerical marriage on charitable giving is evaluated in relation to the demands of family and the lack of provision for the clergy widow. Scrutiny of clerical courtship, relationships within the clerical household and involvement with her husband’s pastoral ministry enables us to chart the emerging importance of the clergy wife and changing attitudes towards her. Engagement with such extensive archival material exposes the close involvement of ministers’ wives with the wider community and reveals the agency of the women themselves in the advent and evolution of their role. Women who have hitherto been defined by their supposed obscurity and unsuitability are shown to have anticipated and exhibited the character, virtues and duties associated with the archetypal clergy wife of later centuries. The breadth of this investigation, therefore, uncovers and explores a neglected but crucial aspect of religious, social and women’s history.

Abstract:
In 2001, a population-based cross-sectional study was conducted to compare levels of total polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in residents of Calcasieu Parish and Lafayette Parish, Louisiana. A demographic, lifestyle, and food consumption questionnaire was collected for each participant. Overall, weighted geometric means and medians of total serum PCB concentrations in residents of Calcasieu and Lafayette Parishes were similar among all risk subgroups. However, 15-29 year olds had higher total serum PCB weighted geometric means in Calcasieu (64.4 ppb) than did this age group in Lafayette (46.6 ppb) (p=0.0059); conversely, in the 60 and older age group, geometric means of 293.7 ppb and 392.5 ppb were observed for Calcasieu and Lafayette, respectively (p=0.0059). In general, total PCB serum levels in Calcasieu and in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana residents were similar to each other and to levels observed in the U.S. general population in this time period.

Abstract:
Parish Nursing is relatively new, having its original Scope and Standards from the American Nurses Association published in 1998. At the same time the Basic Preparation Curriculum for Parish Nursing, which had been developed through the International Parish Nurse Resource Center, was distributed to Educational Partners of the Center and used for Parish Nurse instruction. This curriculum has subsequently been revised in 2004 and 2009, but over this time a study of the learning needs of novice Parish Nurses has not been documented. This study is an assessment of the learning needs of one group of Parish Nurses. The study was constructed on 11 prioritized Parish Nursing skills from the “Getting Started” module of the Basic Preparation Curriculum for Parish Nursing and consisted of three questions about each skill. Survey respondents were asked to rank 1) the importance of the skill, 2) the percentage of new Parish Nurses whom they felt were deficient in the skill and 3) how important it was to add more training for that skill in the Parish Nurse course. Answers to the skill questions utilized a six point Likert scale. Among other biographical information, respondents were asked how many years they had been an active Parish Nurse and to rank themselves based on Benner’s (1984) levels of expertise. Although the outcomes of the study are focused on the learning needs of novice Parish Nurses, input was obtained from Parish Nurses of all levels of expertise. A qualitative component was obtained from the textbox at the end of each set of the three skill questions. The comments gave voice to the respondents and enriched the findings. The study affirmed that the skill of ‘Keeping Confidentiality’ was unanimously rated highly and well done, but this is an essential skill to all nursing. The most variance came with the skill of ‘Making a Budget’. Many Parish Nurses volunteer their services to their church, often with a ‘zero’ budget to work with, so making a budget is immaterial. The study showed that respondents in general were satisfied with their Parish Nursing training and that of their novice colleagues.

McLoughlin, Vanessa. "Medieval Rothley, Leicestershire : manor, soke and parish." Thesis, University of Leicester, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/3523.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to examine the origins and function of medieval Rothley, Leicestershire, its manorial holdings, its soke and its parish. Later maps and both later and earlier written sources were examined to elucidate these elements and answer the questions posed. Documents from a number of sources have been used, primarily from the Rothley Temple Manuscripts held in the Records Office for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, but also from printed volumes of documents from national archives. Evidence contained within these sources has been used to elucidate some of the anomalies found within the landscape, and to give an indication of the sequence of events which helped to form the fields and townships within the soke. Parochial documents have been used to attempt to establish the origins of Rothley parish, and the nature of the ministry of Rothley church as a Hundredal minster has been postulated and examined. The documentary evidence suggests that Rothley was a parish of some importance in the tenth century, and that this parish may have arisen in association with the formation of the Hundred of Goscote. The settlement of Rothley offers some insights into these postulated origins, and the chapels serve to exemplify the extent of the parochial, manorial and soke jurisdiction. Further evidence of the nature of Rothley soke as a royal jurisdiction are examined through the rights which the tenants negotiated with their superior lords. The special privileges which the tenants of the ancient demesne enjoyed were strengthened by their ability to work co-operatively to achieve favourable outcomes in manorial disputes. These relationships will be examined in the course of the thesis, and conclusions on their significance will be reached.

Abstract:
This study is a sociological account of the relative failure of a Roman Catholic parish in the North Midlands to implement the changes in parish life implied by the documents of The Second Vatican Council (1962 - 1965). Initial observation suggested resistance to liturgical, pastoral and ministerial changes On the basis of a critical sociology developed along the lines of a Giddensian critique of both structuralism and phenomenology the following elements were identified by the processes of enumerative and analytic induction: 1) resistance both ideational and practical on the part of the majority of nuclear parishioners of (St Margaret's, Acton), to the process of sacral transformation evident elsewhere, whereby objects formerly hierophanized are desacralised in favour of newly sacralised phenomena; 2) the knowledgeability of social actors as they draw on the rules and resources of the Church and society in the context of the unintended outcomes of their predecessors' actions; 3) the ideological distortions in communication between priest and people; 4) the processes whereby the rules and resources referred to in (2) above are drawn on asymmetrically by hegemonic groups in ways which create forms of exploitative domination in the parish; 5) the historical structuring of religious praxis, specifically the influence of the nineteenth century Catholic revival in (Saxonshire); 6) the relative geographical and social immobility of the Catholic population in (Acton) and the fairly restricted religious socialization of active parishioners. Note: Pseudonyms have been used in this study. On this page and in Chapter 3 brackets have been used to indicate this. The practice is intended to protect the interests of the subjects of the research.

Abstract:
To what extent con on administrative unit be described as a community. To investigate, a case study of the West Midlands parish of Old Swinford was undertaken utilising parish registers, poor low records, family papers (correspondence, account books and a diary), probate items, and quarter sessions and consistory court records. Economic forces bound the parish into the wider North Worcestershire/South Staffordshire locality, thus circumscribing Old Swinford's individuality. Moreover, the parish exhibited considerable social and spatial differentiation. Giving the parish its unity, however, was the poor law. This provided the basic framework for the parish's social hierarchy, and created a web of obligations and rights enveloping the whole parish (save possibly Amblecote settlement). It is further suggested that the poor law intimately affected the parish's demographic profile - in particular nuptiality, bastardy, migration, and household structure. Parochial power was certainly unequally distributed and, indeed, became more concentrated over time. Nevertheless, positions of power were not entirely monopolised by the economic elite, and such power was used with considerable discretion, with little obvious crude material or ideological motivation. The degree to which Old Swinford constituted a cohesive ritual field is assessed through the study of religious conformity and ritual activities within the parish. Whilst opportunities existed which allowed the parish to celebrate its uniqueness, it nevertheless has to be accepted that Old Swinford's ritual life meshed it closely into the wider locality. The parish is found to have been a real focus for the social and kinship networks of parishioners. Communality was, moreover, seemingly aided by the criss-crossing of social networks across the social hierarchy, the low level of inter-personal conflict and the failure of the development of any alternative culture. It is concluded that the notion of Old Swinford as a community is, on balance, justified.

Abstract:
The study recorded in this thesis sought to gain initial baseline information about the purpose of the Catholic schools, from the perspective of those who lead Catholic schools and from the perceptive of those who lead parishes in the diocese of Townsville. The study is perhaps the first step in beginning to ask whether a nineteenth century decision about Catholic schools as "the best sociological conditions for the religious socialization of the young is .... necessarily the best twentieth century solution" (Leavey, 1993, p9). To address that issue three key questions need to be answered . Firstly, for whom do our Catholic schools exist in the 1990s? Second, what do we, want our Catholic schools to be doing for those entrusted to them - or what criteria do we use to measure their effectiveness? Thirdly, what is the relationship of the school to the local church community - is it valid to call Catholic schools "faith communities" in their own right? As the study is concerned with the perceptions of parish leadership and school leadership in a particular diocese a case study method was chosen. The study sought information in three areas: - The perceived purposes of the Catholic school today - The changing role of the Catholic school today and its relationship to parish - The changing evangelising role of parish and school The study concluded that Catholic schools in the Diocese of Townsville provide the only experience of church for most of their students and indeed for many, if not most of their families. But it is a transient experience for there is little attempt to link the school faith community with parish or any other external faith community. Parents appear to be struggling with their role as primary educators in handing on the faith and are seeking much more from schools in this regard. Both parish and schools are operating quite independently with each intent on establishing their own faith community. The research also highlighted that allegiances to parish have changed. The data indicate that less than 20% regularly attend Sunday Eucharist and both parish leadership and school leadership recognise that many families avail themselves of the many services now offered through the schools. While the smaller, country parishes still appear to have some relevance and some sense of community, larger towns or city parishes appear to define community quite differently. The research also highlighted the paucity of dialogue between those who lead schools and parishes in the Diocese and this has contributed to the lack of clarity about the nature and purpose of Catholic schooling today. In reality many pastors' expectations of schools had changed little and the traditional criteria for success (attendance at Mass, involvement in parish, reception of sacraments) were still applied. Catholic school leadership teams were also struggling with defining the nature of purpose of Catholic schools, particularly in the light of the changing expectations of parents who enroll their students in Catholic schools. Catholic schools are now the only experience of church for so many students was clearly recognised. The additional responsibility this places on school leadership and on the faith witness of teachers was also recognised by all involved in the research as a critical issue.

Dykema, Peter Alan 1962. "Conflicting expectations: Parish priests in late medieval Germany." Diss., The University of Arizona, 1998. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/282607.

Full text
Abstract:
This study investigates the expectations various groups in late medieval German society held of their parish priests and how these expectations were mediated through specific relationships. By analyzing the qualities, skills, duties and services required of the parish clergy by those in the priest's own social network--the episcopal and patronal structures above him and the parish and clerical communities around him--this study reveals the mutual obligations and contradictions inherent in the priest's situation. The strategies employed by individuals and groups to articulate and enforce their demands are examined as well as the means by which priests could negotiate or resist in order to protect their own interests. The result is a web of expectations, the individual strands of which are inspected in three major parts of the study, corresponding to the demands of the episcopal hierarchy, the intentions of a late medieval movement to educate the simple priest, and the perspective from the parish. In fifteenth-century Germany, the bishops of Constance sought to reduce their crushing debt by introducing new taxes upon the clergy of the diocese. The parish priests banded together and defied the bishop in 1492, negotiating a payment favorable to them. Another source of revenue directly contradicted diocesan law as bishops tolerated the presence of concubines among their priests in return for the payment of an annual fee. Manuals for parish priests were in high demand throughout the late medieval period; their popularity only increased after the invention of the printing press. Written to inform priests how to carry out their daily duties and avoid sacrilege, these manuals helped to steer the basic training of the parish priest toward a vocational profile combining the aura of the cultic priest with the standardized efficiency of the professional minister. Perspective from the parish encompasses the differing viewpoints of patron, priests and parishioners. The case of Wurttemberg reveals how Count Eberhard (†1496) used parish resources in an attempt to reshape devotion in his lands. In towns and villages served by a number of priests, a local clerical brotherhood often existed alongside lay parish structures. Conflict and cooperation is measured both between the clergy and the laity as well as within the ranks of the priests themselves.

The purpose of this project was to determine what the lithology and sedimentology evidence found in the Justiss Louisiana Central IPNH No. 2 well core from LaSalle Parish, Louisiana, tells us about the depositional history of the end-Cretaceous deposit and how the formation of this deposit was influenced by the effects of the Chicxulub Impact over 1000 km to the south. Project objectives were to characterize the end-Cretaceous sediments found in LaSalle Parish, Louisiana, to determine their depositional history as it relates to the Chicxulub Impact in Yucatan, Mexico, and to relate these onshore sediments to the basin-wide Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary Deposit. A full description of the core was made and 35 thin sections from throughout the core were created and analyzed. Sedimentology evidence suggests that the end-Cretaceous chalk was deposited by seismically-induced mass wasting and later tsunami activity as a direct result of the Chicxulub Impact, and that the previously-proposed thickness of the Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary Deposit may be overestimated.

Abstract:
An introductory chapter outlines the provenance, circumstance and background relating to the provision of individual books and libraries within English parish churches since the Reformation. Such sources as private benefactions, endowments and royal and episcopal directives are cited as instrumental in creating the patchwork provision of books that was the inheritance of the eighteenth century, and to which was added the extensive work of Dr Thomas Bray, his Associates, and the various religious societies. A second chapter places within this historical context the specific development of five libraries situated at Wisbech, Doncaster, Witham, Rotherham and Maidstone; each of which, out of different circumstances, was operating a lending library under parochial administration for some period of the eighteenth century. A detailed analysis of borrowers and books at the five libraries follows in chapter 3 and is derived from the extant book-issue records associated with each library. Such aspects as anticipated and apparent demand; patterns and scope of use; borrower status; and the nature of the books loaned are investigated. A further chapter augments the evidence from these five libraries with other parallel or related material. Specific reference is made to diaries, benefaction details, and to recorded loans made from private libraries at Castleton, Derbyshire; Idmiston, Wiltshire; and Llandissilio, Wales. A concluding chapter draws together certain common themes, reading trends and shared administrative features whilst highlighting the differing scope and nature of the borrowing communities, patterns of benefaction and effects of individual and associated philanthropy. Appendix I additionally provides a short-title union listing of identifiable books recorded as borrowed during the eighteenth century conflated from the five main libraries which form the basis of chapters two and three.

Abstract:
Between 1900 and 1939 the Greek-Catholic parish clergy in Galicia underwent a transformation of its social, national, political and cultural consciousness. In part this was the result of the political changes taking place in the province, as its Ruthenian population developed a Ukrainian national consciousness expressed during the interregnum between Austrian and Polish rule by the creation of the Western Ukrainian Popular Republic, and later, in the increasingly restrictive atmosphere of inter-war Poland, by the activity of both moderate and radical nationalist groups. In part this transformation was conditioned by the decline of the priestly caste and the rise of a new type of priest, usually a celibate of village origin. The transformation was also the result of a conscious programme initiated by Metropolitan Andrei Sheptyts'kyi to raise the moral and educational level of the clergy. To this end he reformed the L'viv seminary, established a theological academy, and organised full seminaries in Stanyslaviv and Peremyshl'. This prepared the parish priest to deal with a growingly nationalistic and often anti-clerical intelligentsia, and a village coming increasingly under its influence. At the same time, the parish clergy evolved a new sense of its identity, gradually abandoning the Russophile orientation of the Old Ruthenians and adopting first Ruthenian populism, then Ukrainian nationalism. Thus they found common cause with the secular intelligentsia. However, the Ukrainian orientation forced them to redefine the Eastern Ukrainian tradition in a manner compatible with Catholicism, and to formulate their stance towards Orthodoxy and the Kievan Byzantine tradition. Though split between Byzantinists and Westernisers, the clergy developed a strong sense of their place as leaders of Galician Ukrainian society, albeit in occasional competition with the nationalist intelligentsia, and of their mission as bearers of Catholicism in the East.

Abstract:
This is an account of everyday life in a single village (Humberston in Lincolnshire) in the century after 1750. However, this study is more than a local history, for it uses the experience of Humberston to examine and test some major issues of historical debate. In this respect, the thesis is an exercise in 'microhistory', where the local becomes the site for consideration of much wider issues. Humberston was transformed from an open parish into an estate village in the period between 1700 and 1750 and fell into the hands of absentee owners after 1750. The first three chapters of this thesis examine how power and authority were exercised in such a ‘closed’ parish, focusing in turn on the relationships between landlord and tenant, farmer and farmworker, squire and parson. The following chapter considers how this tightly-controlled village responded to the potentially disruptive challenge of Methodism. The closing chapters examine the condition of those furthest down the social hierarchy, the Cottagers who had access to pasture and kept a cow and those who were, at various points in their lives, dependent on the parish for poor relief. A conclusion considers how this exercise in microhistory adds to our overall knowledge of the period. It suggests that the ‘open-close’ model of English villages may require further refinement to better reflect the nature of power and authority in closed parishes with non-resident landlords. It argues that the effects of enclosure may – in some places and for some people – have been less destructive of cottagers’ livelihoods than is sometimes supposed. And it maintains that the relatively benign welfare culture of the south and east of England may have extended further north than previously thought. Finally, it reflects on the relatively slow pace of change in parts of rural England in the century after 1750.
