Религия и Общество - Religiolog120 Как женщины меняли историю. Известные вольнодумки историиУвы, немногие знают, что женщины также сыграли ключевую роль в развитии вольнодумства и секулярной мысли. Они смело бросали вызов религиозным догмам, выступая за рационализм и личные свободы. В этом обзоре я расскажу о некоторых выдающихся женщинах-вольнодумках. Знаете ли вы, кто была первой современной женщиной? Кто стала первой женщиной в мире, возглавившей Академию наук? Кто писала романы и пьесы на арабском языке, став первой женщиной, сделавшей это? Кто стала первым женским голосом, призывавшим к пробуждению женщин и защите их прав в арабском мире? Кто была первой женщиной, удостоенной Нобелевской премии? Что вы знаете о первой женщине-профессоре университета? И что такое исламский феминизм? Какая женщина написала "Евангелие Атеизма"? Обо всём этом мы поговорим в сегодняшнем обзоре.

Live from the Siburt InstituteStephen Bullivant: Churches of Christ and the Rise of the NonesOur discussion with Dr. Stephen Bullivant continues as we pivot from the broader religious landscape into Churches of Christ. We will begin with Dr. Bullivant's perspective and intrigue on Churches of Christ and their pioneering of restoration. Then move into how the rise of the "nones" is playing out within Churches of Christ. Since Churches of Christ are not unaffected by the rise of the nones and secularization, how have churches in our context responded to this reality?

Then we discuss how the Church's teaching is not rigid or static but that the Church is always in a process of reform. As Dei Verbum says, “For as the centuries succeed one another, the Church constantly moves forward toward the fullness of divine truth until the words of God reach their complete fulfillment in her.”Sha...2023-07-031h 22

Beyond BeliefYoung and Full of FaithIn a society that’s becoming increasingly secular, why are some young people embracing a ‘full fat’ version of faith? During the pandemic a UK poll showed that those in Generation Z are more likely to believe in God than their millennial peers. A new study of British Catholics has found that younger believers show a greater degree of religious commitment than their elders.Whilst those ticking ‘no religion’ box on the census is increasing, are those who still identify with a religion more likely to have a strengthened commitment to it?

Holy SmokeDoes the Church know how to deal with mental illness?We're all sick of celebrities making a meal of their mental health problems – but that doesn't mean that we aren't facing a potential crisis. The unique strains of living in the technology-driven 21st century are taking their toll on people who, in an earlier era, would have been psychologically robust. Many of us are affected by anxiety, depression, addiction and eating disorders; all sorts of compulsive behaviour are flourishing as never before.And the mainstream churches have got nothing useful to say about it.

Religion & TeologiStephen Bullivant | Mass Exodus: The ‘Who?’, ‘When?’ and ‘Why?’ of British Catholic DeclineIn this lecture, Stephen Bullivant, prof. of Theology and the Sociology of Religion at St. Mary’s University (London), "investigates commonalities among several mainstream denominations in Europe, the Catholic Church in Britain and their significant decline over a half-century. This is true across a wide range of empirical indicators of religious vitality, including Mass attendance, retention/conversion rates, vocations, etc. Precisely when this decline started, and for what reason or reasons, is a subject of intense debate.
