The denominational-cooperative model of RE serves as a specific opportunity for such research since common denominational RE is a setting where denominational positionality seems to be an obvious factor beyond debate. Based on the analysis of RE teachers’ conversations on cooperative RE in Germany, the paper presents results of qualitative research into the conceptual metaphors of positionality and taking a position. In the analysis we found a consistent framing of experiences of positionality under three major conceptual metaphors with their source domains allocated to the semantic fields of motion, physical combat, and theatrical play. Since conceptual metaphors are assumed to stem from embodied experiences, to structure human thought, and can be found in language, the discussion of the data deals with the impression that these conceptual metaphors shape the RE teachers’ agency, i.e., the way they teach in the denominational-cooperative religious education classroom.","PeriodicalId":45654,"journal":{"name":"RELIGIOUS EDUCATION","volume":"2 1","pages":"207 - 220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75556736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Religious Commitment Inventory-10, the Religious Involvement Scale, and the Post-Pandemic Well-Being Scale were administered to 1739 university students selected from 119 comprehensive universities. Results showed that religious involvement and religious commitment significantly and positively predicted post-pandemic well-being beyond demographic variables.

Fowler as our common “intellectual ancestor” at Emory University. Dr. James W. Fowler is known for his theory of constructive developmental research in faith and moral development. He also studied the cognitive patterns of knowing, valuing, interpreting, and reasoning as the basis for moral and ethical understanding. However, for me and the people of Gomoa Mprumem, Ghana, Dr. Fowler is counted among the esteemed company of the Ancestors (Nananom Nsamanfo); that is, he has bequeathed to succeeding generations a name worthy of evocation and worship. An ancestor, however, must first be an elder, dully nominated, elected, and inaugurated by a group, after a person has demonstrated selflessness and generosity to a group. Thus, as a living ancestor myself and ruler of Gomoa Mprumem, I conferred the title of elder (Nana) on Dr. Fowler when “I ... presented him with an ancestral stool ... on which we seated him three-times, making him a citizen and an elder (Nana) of Mprumem and Ghana. The ancestral stool symbolized his soul as eternally seated ... member of the community” during his first and only visit to Mprumem, Ghana (and Africa) in 1999 (Tanton 1999). This was when he accepted my invitation and attended the celebrations of my fifth anniversary as king of Mprumem, during which he inaugurated a junior high school that he helped build for my community. My formal introduction to Dr. Fowler at Emory University, however, came at a very trying time for me in 1988 (Ephirim-Donkor 2021, 117). I had been arrested on campus for using the gymnasium as a black student and charged with trespassing. As word got around that a foreign graduate seminary student had been arrested, the upper echelon of Candler School of Theology, including James Fowler and Romney Moseley, perhaps embarrassed, quickly intervened and got the charges dismissed but not before I was taken to the DeKalb County jail for a couple of hours. Decades later, I am still delayed when entering the United States from abroad in order for immigration authorities to ascertain as to why I have trespassing charge on my record. Ironically, the racism I endured led to my cultural reclamation and intellectual renaissance. The shame and helplessness that I felt while in custody became the source of my perspicacity, as I was forced to reminisce on my upbringings in Ghana. For the first time, I was made aware of my “blackness”—something I had taken for granted growing up in Ghana. Schooled in the theoretical developmental framework espoused by James Fowler and Erik Erikson, my goal was to superimpose the theories on the Akan intoto. Each time, however, I failed. Then serendipitously I thought about my own upbringings and hence my book, African Spirituality: On Becoming Ancestors. It was liberating.","PeriodicalId":45654,"journal":{"name":"RELIGIOUS EDUCATION","volume":"1 1","pages":"109 - 113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90208399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this essay I have been reframing Jesus’ question to, “Who are my ancestors and present collaborators?” I will respond to it by touching on three important contexts that have shaped my professional trajectory and in which I, in turn, have sought to participate as collaborator and aspiring “good ancestor”—hoping, in turn, to nurture “good descendants.”","PeriodicalId":45654,"journal":{"name":"RELIGIOUS EDUCATION","volume":"11 1","pages":"117 - 120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78801235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leda, the main character of The Lost Daughter, struggles in one sense with her academic ambition, but in another sense, the existential question of “why am I on earth?” presents itself for her. More than that, Leda’s question—according to the reviewers—touches upon the inequities in society’s expectations and interpretation(s) of motherhood and fatherhood. However, can fragments of The Lost Daughter in conversation with fragments of a religious narrative such as the Joseph novella, lead to the conclusion that The Lost Daughter is not only about motherhood, but moreover about fore-motherhood? Is it all about the question: how to be, and become, a foremother? The main character of The Lost Daughter, Leda, dreams of an academic career. We read about Leda, and see her in the movie, as she works hard on an article while also looking after her two little daughters. In one of her rare free moments,freed from her obsessive work on an article that might constitute a breakthrough in her academic career,Leda plays with her youngest daughter, pretending she is her daughter’s doll. This makes her eldest daughter jealous, and she insistently demands Leda’s attention. To satisfy her, Leda lets her play with a doll that was dear to her from her childhood. However, the child damages the doll. Driven by anger, Lena hurls the doll over the railing of the balcony. The doll falls on the asphalt; cars pass over it and mutilate it—an image from the past that has not been unwound.","PeriodicalId":45654,"journal":{"name":"RELIGIOUS EDUCATION","volume":"14 1","pages":"121 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84924407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
