Science with the Sisters
Diana Fenton
Poster Session
For the past 140 years, many sisters in the Order of St. Benedict have engaged in science research and science teaching. While women in general are still underrepresented in the sciences, forty to fifty years ago, the sisters were well before their time being allowed to study science in a typically male dominated world. Beyond the stereotypical role of scientists being men, women often were conflicted in a research or science career due to work pressure and family responsibilities. What is of particular interest for this study, is the sisters not only made the choice to join the monastery, but also to engage in a profession that was not widely accepted for women, science. The purpose of this case study is to examine the contributions and collaborations in science of the women in the monastic community at the College of St. Benedict. This study examines historical archives and oral histories to identify the benefits and challenges of the women as they studied science. The study examines women graduates of the College of St. Benedict who were mentored by the monastic women and how this led them to a career in science. The research questions guiding this work include: 1) What benefits and challenges existed for the sisters in the monastery to pursue science degrees? 2) What role did the sisters play in mentoring graduates of St. Benedicts High School or The College of St. Benedict to pursue degrees in science?

Women as Community Developers
Simbarashe Munamati
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
The study aimed to investigate the extent and impact of the contributions of the Reformed Church in Zimbabwe (RCZ) women towards the community development discourse in Zimbabwe. The study adopted a qualitative research approach and a case study research design using in-depth interviews, questionnaires, focus group discussions, and document analysis of the RCZ women projects' minutes over a period of a year. The study draws on feminist liberation theologies as a lens to understand the extent and impact of the RCZ women in the community development discourse in Zimbabwe. Preliminary findings suggest that RCZ women are a force to reckon with as they have proved to be critical players in promoting community development in Zimbabwe although they face financial support. The study recommends the RCZ church craft a robust community development policy that will work as the engine for all church-related community development efforts.

Reflecting on 500 Years of Christianity in the Philippines
Teofilo Giovan III Pugeda
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
Christianity, especially Roman Catholicism, is an important dimension of Philippine culture, where about 85% of the population identify as Christian. Many Filipinos practice Christian religious activities as integral parts of their personal, familial, and communal lives. Moreover, overseas Filipino workers and migrants vitalize the Christian Faith in other countries. The year 2021 marked the fifth centenary of Christianity’s arrival in the archipelago. Over the previous five centuries, Christianity has played a significant role in shaping Philippine society. We reflect on 500 years of Christianity in the Philippines by reviewing major socio-political events and trends in Philippine history up to the present which are examples of Christianity’s influence on Philippine society. Special attention is given to the Catholic Church’s advocacy of human rights. Afterwards, suggestions are made on how Christianity can better thrive in the country’s future.

As Above, So Below
Stephen Christopher
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
I am currently conducting fieldwork on the Modern Mystery School (MMS), a spiritual business headquartered in Tokyo and Toronto and thousands of followers around the world. MMS has been in operation for over 20 years; although there has been some media speculation and social media chatter, no in-depth ethnographic fieldwork has been done until now. The founder, an Icelander in Tokyo, makes extraordinary biographical and spiritual claims. He is a ‘Sacred Dandy’ who wears high fashion, relishes material wealth, and lives out the MMS edict of ‘being royal’. Alongside him are two other men; together they form the ‘Third Order’ and are pinnacle of organizational leadership. The core of the spiritual teachings is to awaken your Eternal Self and enter into a lifestyle of material and spiritual royalty through initiation into the lineage of King Salomon. As my research explores, the vast majority of followers are women. There are many specialized roles for women: the Beauty Council; the Council of 12, the Grand Oracle; Healers and Guides. In this study, I analyze the political interrelationship between the top male leadership and the thousands of female leaders/initiates. I discuss how the Kabbalistic principle of ‘As Above, So Below’ is interpreted to ideologically support the leadership model. And I take the audience through some spiritual seminars about the sacred feminine and beauty to see how Japanese women seek out economic independence and self-redefinition through this globalized religion.

Interplay of Religious Coping Mechanisms, Internalized Homonegativity, and Attitudes Towards Seeking Professional Help among LGBTQ African Americans within Christian Church Congregations
David Glover
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
Although the Black Christian churches have historically been a safe haven for the majority of the African American community, African American Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) churchgoers experience a paradox because they are seeking out a religious ideology and institution as part of their psychological coping mechanism despite facing homonegativity within the same Black Christian church community. The purpose of the current study is to examine how internalized homonegativity among African American LGBT individuals might be mitigated by religious coping or their personal attitudes of seeking professional mental health support. Using a sample of 401 African American LGBT participants who were affiliated with a Black Christian at the time of the survey, the researchers found that the increasing levels of self-reported religious coping for meaning in life had a corresponding increase in the self-reported experience of internalized homonegativity. Moreover, increasing levels of self-reported internalized homonegativity were linked to an increasing reluctance seeking professional help for their experiences of psychological distress. In contrast, there was no relationship between religious coping and seeking professional help for their experiences of psychological distress. The results of the study are discussed in the context of prior research and recommendations for professional counseling for African American LGBT churchgoers.

"Marriage Interview" as a Best Practice in Teaching the Course Marriage and Family
Reuel Rito Seno
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
I have been teaching the General Education undergraduate course MARFAMI or Marriage and Family in De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, Manila Philippines, which has been for more than two years now, that is, both before and during the ongoing pandemic. One project I utilize in this specific course is a project entitled “Good Role-Models of the Sacrament of Matrimony”. In this project the students identify a couple (husband and wife) that for them are good role-models of the Sacrament of Marriage. The couple that they interview can be from among their family, relatives or neighbors or couples they know from their Church communities who have been married for at least 15 or so years. This research would like to present how this student requirement can be one of the best practices in teaching and conducting the undergraduate course Marriage and Family; and how this strategy can be used even during this ongoing pandemic through online teleconferencing apps like zoom or google meet; that even if this requirement is done fully online, it still can adhere to the learning outcomes of the course; and can be an authentic means of learning and teaching even during this new normal of education.

Shmita
David Krantz
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
At the dawn of the anthropocene, the epoch in which humans have become the most impactful force shaping the Earth, anthropogenic climate change and other forms of environmental destruction may be the biggest challenge ever faced by humanity–a “planetary emergency.” How are we to transition from our present society of over-consumption and over-pollution to a new era of sustainability? Perhaps since the sources of the problem are complex and varied, such as capitalism, population growth, and technology, the sources of the solution also must be complex and varied. And given that the vast majority of people on Earth have a religious affiliation, one might widen one’s perspective to look toward religious concepts for how we can help inspire a sustainability transition. One such concept is the practice of shmita (alternatively spelled shemitah, shemitta, or shmitah), Judaism’s sabbatical year, as delineated in the Hebrew Bible. In this paper, I explore shmita as emblematic of our modern notion of sustainability, encompassing conservation, environmentalism, and stewardship. Just as other Jewish concepts such as Shabbat, the sabbath, have inspired much of the world, shmita too may inspire others to embrace sustainability. Shmita is part of an as-of-yet-unrealized biblical vision for a sustainable future for humanity, a vision that can transcend religious boundaries and, despite being thousands of years old, maybe the inspiration that we now need most.

When Pain becomes Love for God - the Self as Non-object
Roni Naor Hofri
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
This paper explores how self-inflicted pain enabled the expression of love for God among Christian monastic flagellant ascetics in medieval central Europe. As scholars have shown, being in a state of pain leads to a change in or a destruction of language, an essential feature of the self. I argue that this transformation allows the self to transcend its boundaries as an object, even if only in part, in a limited manner and temporarily. The epistemic achievement of love for God, a non-object, would not otherwise have been possible. To substantiate my argument, I show that the self’s transformation into a non-object enabled the imitation of God: not solely in the sense of imitatio Christi, of the physical and visual representations of God incarnate in the flesh of His son Christ, but also in the sense of the self’s experience of being a non-object, just like God, the telos of the self’s love.

The Source of Creativity
Gil Dekel
Focused Discussion
I map out the creative journey that starts with inner observation, so called muse, and culminates with knowledge. I review peak-experiences, as described by visionary artists, looking at three steps: inner observation, elusive memory, and thought-making. I will then share a practical method that helps ‘capture’ self-knowledge by simplifying ideas into key-words and communicating them in a concise way.
