While the structures of the Church of England provide practical resources for clergy as they make changes and transitions in their 'careers', very little has been done in the area of theological reflection around this subject. Not all change is welcome and driving factors are very different from those in secular employment. This important volume explores key questions to consider at points of transition: What does it mean to listen to God at times of change? Does the concept of career fit with a sense of vocation? What happens when the church changes in ways we do not like? What does scripture and the tradition of the church offer at these times? What can we learn from the secular world about managing change? What insights does psychology offer? How can ministers stay the course and finish strong? An essential personal resource and handbook for all involved in clergy training, placement and Continuing Ministerial Development.

In a gripping thriller with a hint of Oliver Twist, a street kid and his dog are chasing an unlikely fortune — and dodging the thugs who would steal it. Twelve-year-old Bully has lost his mum and his old life. Living rough on the streets of London with his dog, Jack, he can’t imagine a future. But one day he finds, tucked inside his most cherished possession—the last birthday card his mother ever gave him—a lottery ticket he bought her. And it’s a winner. A big winner. Suddenly there’s hope, if only he can get to his prize on time! But just as Bully’s prospects open up, peril closes in. Now ruthless gangsters are in hot pursuit, and everyone wants a piece of him. Whom can he trust to help him retrieve what's his? And even if Bully does claim all that money, will he really be winning what he needs most? Michael Byrne's thrill-packed debut delivers the emotionally charged story of a boy whose luck has changed for the better, if only he can survive long enough to claim it.

5 giorni, 5 ore, 19 minuti. Bully, un ragazzino londinese, non sa ancora che il tempo stringe e le sue giornate trascorrono tranquille tra le strade della città. Quasi tranquille: da quando sua madre è morta, vive come un vagabondo in compagnia della ‘socia’ Jack (la cagnolina che considera una sorella) ma questo non è un problema, lui è un tipo tosto. Un giorno dall’ultimo biglietto di compleanno ricevuto dalla mamma spunta un regalo inaspettato... un tagliando della lotteria e lui ha vinto il jackpot! Il termine per ritirare il premio sta per scadere e per fortuna ci sono ancora cinque giorni per raggiungere la sede centrale della Camelot... ma bastano per attraversare Londra quando ti sei confidato con le persone sbagliate e tutti i disperati della città ti cercano? Bully comincia così una folle corsa a perdifiato dal ritmo serratissimo, braccato da una banda di criminali e cani da combattimento. Presto scoprirà che i veri amici sono più rari di un biglietto vincente della lotteria e che il destino ha in serbo per lui qualcosa di incredibile. Una storia avvincente di riscatto e speranza. Perché gli ostacoli non esistono se si ha il coraggio di credere in un sogno.

The SCM Studyguide Pastoral Theology designed to support undergraduate courses for the training of clergy and lay pastoral workers at an accessible introductory level. The book aims to develop pastoral wisdom and integrity through a critical integration of theology and the human sciences. Introducing key themes in theological anthropology and pastoral practice, it shapes a creative pastoral vision which is deeply rooted in a Christian vision of what it means to be human and what it takes to care. Working with case studies, the book will introduce broad frameworks of understanding of issues such as growth, loss, and sexuality, together with critical perspectives on important aspects of practice such as language, power and boundaries. The book provides an accessible overview of key concepts in pastoral theology, offering key entry points for further discussion and study. Each chapter includes discussion questions and/or reflective exercises at the end of each chapter together with a short bibliography. Throughout the text, key summaries of learning will be indicated by boxed Practice Points.
