Abstract

draws us more deeply into communion with God. Here I am reminded of Martin Buber’s insight that all ‘I-thou’ encounters are grounded in our relationship to the Absolute Thou. I also appreciated very much the insightful way in which Kinghorn and Hauerwas relate gentleness to Jesus, L’Arche, and Swinton himself. I especially appreciated this reflection from the authors: ‘John Swinton’s focus on the particularity of human lived experience is ... deeply formative and instructive for us. One cannot be gentle in general; one is always gentle with someone, in a particular time and place’ (p. 275, original emphasis). Those of us who have been privileged to be the ‘someone’ in the gentle presence of John Swinton, know exactly what is meant here. The last chapter in this section, and therefore in this volume, takes us back to the theme Doug Gay pursued quite early in the book – viz. worship. Volpe notes that while peace is not an overt theme in Swinton’s writing – it certainly is not prominent in the way that themes such as a humanised life, friendship, vulnerability, belonging, discipleship, and worship are – the way that John lives, works, and writes is profoundly irenic. I suspect that John is very pleased with her insight that Jesus – the one who embodied, facilitated, and preached peace – is the spiritual source for all those committed to peace in personal, communal, and international relations.

让我们更深入地与上帝交流。在这里，我想起了马丁·布伯的洞察力，即所有“我-你”的遭遇都是基于我们与绝对你的关系。我也非常欣赏金霍恩和豪尔瓦斯将温柔与耶稣、L’Arche和斯温顿本人联系在一起的富有洞察力的方式。我特别欣赏作者的这一反思：“约翰·斯温顿对人类生活体验特殊性的关注。。。对我们有深刻的影响和教育意义。一个人不可能是温和的；在特定的时间和地点，一个人总是对某人温和”（第275页，最初的重点）。我们这些有幸在约翰·斯温顿的温柔面前成为“某人”的人，非常清楚这里的意思。本节的最后一章，也就是本卷的最后一章节，将我们带回到道格·盖伊在书中很早就追求的主题——即崇拜。沃尔普指出，虽然和平在斯温顿的作品中并不是一个公开的主题——它肯定不像人性化的生活、友谊、脆弱、归属感、门徒身份和崇拜等主题那样突出——但约翰的生活、工作和写作方式是深刻的爱尔兰式的。我怀疑约翰对她的见解感到非常高兴，即耶稣——体现、促进和宣扬和平的人——是所有致力于个人、社区和国际关系中和平的人的精神源泉。

期刊介绍： Journal for the Study of Spirituality is a peer-reviewed journal which creates a unique interdisciplinary, inter-professional and cross-cultural forum where researchers, scholars and others engaged in the study and practices of spirituality can share and debate the research, knowledge, wisdom and insight associated with spirituality and contemporary spirituality studies. The British Association for the Study of Spirituality (BASS) organises a biennial international conference and welcomes enquiries about membership from those interested in the study of spirituality in the UK and worldwide. The journal is concerned with what spirituality means, and how it is expressed, in individuals’ lives and communities and in professional practice settings; and with the impact and implications of spirituality in, and on, social policy, organizational practices and personal and professional development. The journal recognises that spirituality and spiritual values can be expressed and studied in secular contexts, including in scientific and professional practice settings, as well as within faith and wisdom traditions. Thus, Journal for the Study of Spirituality particularly welcomes contributions that: identify new agendas for research into spirituality within and across subject disciplines and professions; explore different epistemological and methodological approaches to the study of spirituality; introduce comparative perspectives and insights drawn from different cultures and/or professional practice settings; aim to apply and develop sustained reflection, investigation and critique in relation to spirituality and spiritual practices; critically examine the values and presuppositions underpinning different forms of spirituality and spiritual practices; incorporate different forms of writing and expressions of spirituality.
