    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS Uppsala Studies in Faith and Ideologies 19 Omslagets bild är målad av Lisa Camnerin. Försoningens mellanrum – en analys av Daphne Hampsons och Rita Nakashima Brocks teologiska tolkningar Sofia Camnerin Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Uhus IV, Universitet- shuset, Uppsala, Friday, December 19, 2008 at 10:00 for the degree of Doctor of Theology. The examination will be conducted in Swedish. Abstract Camnerin, S. 2008. Försoningens mellanrum. En analys av Daphne Hampsons och Rita Nakashima Brocks teologiska tolkningar. (The Space-in-Between of Atonement/Redemption. An Analysis of Daphne Hampson’s and Rita Nakashima Brock’s Theological Interpretations). Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Uppsala Studies in Faiths and Ideologies 19. 213 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-7365-5. The overall purpose of this thesis is to illuminate and critically evaluate Christian theology of atonement and redemption, in order to contribute to contemporary theology of atonement and redemption. The purpose is reached through an analysis of the work of two contemporary feminist theologians; Daphne Hampson and Rita Nakashima Brock. Hampson has formulated a sharp post-Christian position. Brock has distinguished herself through her critique of the Christian concept of atonement and through her contributions to reconciliation and redemption. Both Daphne Hampson and Rita Nakashima Brock argue that Christian atonement-theology, primarily the so called objective model, is hurtful to children and victims of abuse and violence. They both argue that theological language is not innocent. At the same time, they illustrate broken relationships, sufferings, and problems they want to change, give theological interpretations of how that change is to take place and present methodologies on how to reach reconciliation between human beings and God as well as between human beings.

  • Moral Injury and Collective Healing: Braxton Institute and the Soul Repair Center an Advanced Training Seminar Welcome to Princeton
    Presented by: Volunteers of America Moral Injury and Collective Healing: Braxton Institute and the Soul Repair Center An Advanced Training Seminar Welcome to Princeton We are thrilled that you have chosen to be with us on this journey into strategies for recovery from moral injury. We have been envisioning and planning for this seminar since last summer and hope you will learn a great deal from our faculty and from everyone here. The faculty for this seminar are experts drawn from many fields and disciplines, each with a valuable ap- proach to holistic health in relation to moral injury, and they will be participating with us all as we share together in diverse learning experiences. While our primary moral injury focuses are military veterans and incarcerated people, we expect that many of us are already working in other areas and will help us widen our scope through what they also offer to us all. We are deeply grateful to Trinity Church for being a welcoming and generous host. It is providing its beau- tiful spaces to us at minimal cost. Pat Hawkins, especially, has offered clear information for our planning and has assured that we have all the space and equipment we need for our various needs. We have a great team of graduate students helping us throughout the conference to make sure you get where you need to be from the housing venues and also to attend to any special requests. It is our hope that by the end of our time together, you will have formed new relationships with others working on moral injury and that, as a whole, we will become a national community of people supporting each other, sharing best practices and offering insights as we implement what we’ve learned.
