To Loose the Bonds of Injustice
Author: Marcia A. Murphy
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532653875
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
This work is the first to address the living conditions of the mentally ill from the standpoint of social justice. It is the first for religion to partner with the psychiatric field from a spiritual vantage point to improve the lives of those afflicted with medical, social, and spiritual maladies. It is written by someone who has lived with the challenges of a marginalized human being, someone who has insights that no one in the mainstream has experienced. Professionals often write from the viewpoint of someone observing their patients from the outside. Instead, Ms. Murphy tells what it feels like from the inside--to be afflicted with emotional, physical, and social challenges that hinder development and success. This project offers solutions on many levels, unique by virtue of who and what the author is: someone that has been in the darkest depths of severe distress and who found that Christ is the only hope for the mentally afflicted; and the church as Christ's body, though imperfect, has a vital role in healing and restoration.

Co-Crafting the Just City
Author: James A. Throgmorton
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000544222
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
The 2016 election in Iowa City would provide an opportunity that planning faculty have long desired: the opportunity for one of their own to serve as mayor. In this new book, former Iowa City Mayor and Professor Emeritus James A. Throgmorton provides readers a sense of what democratically-elected city council members and mayors in the United States do and what it feels like to occupy and enact those roles. He does so by telling a set of “practice stories” focusing primarily, but not exclusively, on what he, a retired planning professor at the University of Iowa, experienced and learned as a council member from 2012 through 2019 and, simultaneously, as mayor from 2016 through 2019. The book proposes a practical, action-oriented theory about how city futures are being (and can be) shaped, showing that storytelling of various kinds plays a very important but poorly understood role in the co-crafting process, and demonstrating that skillful use of ethically-sound persuasive storytelling (especially by mayors) can improve our collective capacity to create better places. The book documents efforts to alleviate race-related inequities, increase the supply of affordable housing, adopt an ambitious climate action plan, improve relationships between city government and diverse marginalized communities, pursue more inclusive and sustainable land development codes/policies, and more. It will be of great interest to urban planning faculty and students and elected officials looking to collaboratively craft better cities for the future.

Homeless
Author: Marcia A. Murphy
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 63
Book Description
This book addresses the tragic suffering of the homeless. When we can get to the root causes of homelessness, identify them, and address them, this is helpful in assisting those who are unhoused. By sharing the story of one extraordinary individual, the author illustrates how many factors are involved in a person’s past that are interrelated and which influence each other’s outcomes. And solutions involve psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, faith communities, schools, and the government officials who write policy decisions into law. Solutions seem elusive and estimates of the resources needed are staggering. But with concerted efforts there is hope.
