These two papers encapsulate something of the dialogue that took place between Paterson and Van Ommen on that occasion. Whilst many people may now be more aware of how women and girls are implicated in liturgical language liturgy, reflecting patriarchal attitudes, Paterson and Van Ommen took on the task of discussing the implications of such gendered language for men. Paterson reflects on the ways in which the carefully structured practices of mindfulness reflect a purpose not unlike that of the Church’s liturgy in seeking to provide a ‘blue-print for change’. In response, as a teacher and author of work on Church liturgy – especially as this impacts on marginalised groups -Van Ommen highlights ways in which his approach to the liturgy both conforms with and differs from Paterson’s practices.","PeriodicalId":42198,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for the Study of the Christian Church","volume":"22 1","pages":"230 - 251"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42779577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Why is there an incongruence between their rejection of Christian nationalism and their support for Christian Zionism? This paper explores this incongruence by shedding light on the entanglement of Christian Zionism and Christian nationalism, analysing notions of land, body, and self in relation to Christian Zionism and Christian nationalism, and by examining how such notions shape Native communities’ support for Christian Zionism. This paper argues that in the American context, Christian nationalism and Christian Zionism are inherently interconnected as colonial projects, and have influenced American self-understanding and occupied the imagination of Americans, thus resulting in the colonial self. In this context, settler colonialism is normalised and shapes Native communities’ understanding of their identity in relation to Israel and their response to Christian Zionism.","PeriodicalId":42198,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for the Study of the Christian Church","volume":"22 1","pages":"195 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47706942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A very tight intertwining of the religious and the political elevated the Serbian Church’s institutional position, secured an unprecedented construction boom, and even influenced some devotional practices of the faithful, especially through victimhood-oriented collective identity building. Yet our research demonstrates the ambiguous impact of these changes on believers, whose lives revolve around the liturgical cycle, fasting, and reverence for monasticism. These differences have already created rifts within the Church. In a trend that it is unrecognised by secular observers, it seems that some believers are increasingly differentiating between their ethnic and confessional identities.","PeriodicalId":42198,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for the Study of the Christian Church","volume":"22 1","pages":"214 - 229"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42111769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a combination of interviews and autoethnography, Clough draws a vivid picture of the existence of rape culture in the church. Clough opens by describing briefly the #MeToo movement and introducing the reader to its, perhaps less well-known, sister movement, #ChurchToo. The #ChurchToo movement was born when women in American Evangelical churches sought to build on the work of #MeToo and expose the particular situation of male violence against women in the church. (2) Clough migrates the American #ChurchToo movement through the sharing of women’s stories in Anglican churches in the UK and New Zealand. From the basis that ‘[a] high level of cognitive dissonance may occur when respected church leaders are accused of abuse’ (3), Clough shifts the reader’s attention towards her particular project. Her focus is on how such cognitive dissonance may be taken to the extreme in cases which involve vocations.

The Preface and Introduction in English, as have been briefly described here, are models of concise scholarship introducing this Latin work of late medieval lay devotion. The facsimile reproduction of the Latin manuscript is finely done on slightly tinted yellow paper, but perhaps above all the Chinese version will introduce this most characteristic work of late medieval aristocratic European devotion to a quite new scholarly readership in Hong Kong and China. This book represents thus a remarkable confluence of cultural moments across Christian history and the contemporary world.
