A Phenomenological Study of Women Administrators’

This phenomenological qualitative research study investigated Mennonite women with experience leading Mennonite high schools across the United States and Canada during their first year serving in the role of principal. This study gives voice to 12 Mennonite women leaders who felt God’s “call” to lead. Women leaderencountered bias due to an androcentric culture. Despite the many struggles and limited view of women in leadership, the women built campuses andacademic programs, mentored leaders, helped to transform students, and shaped communities as pioneeringleaders in Mennonite schools. Feminist, organizational, and vocational theory provided several analytical lenses to interpret their experience. Feminist theory explained how women experienced and managed androcentric cultures in schools and communities. Bolman and Deal’s (2013) organizational theory (four frame model)explained how women’s leadership styles navigated authoritarian power and political structures, and became symbolic representation for a new style of leadership in Mennonite schools. Parker Palmer’s (1983/2010) vocational theory explained Mennonite women’s deep sense of being called by God, and how they learned to lead in androcentric, heirarchical church structured school communities. The findings illustrate the potential of faith-based women leaders to empower and build community. The women shaped communities found mentors, networked, and developed a new norm for women in their communities. Implications and recommendations included building continued awareness and education in schools and community churches by addressing adult gender biases within the culture as well as educating younger children in nonbiased early education programs

Community chaplaincy and crime prevention : blessing as a bridge from prison to community

Dans ce projet de recherche, nous examinons le dilemme des personnes empiégées dans le système judiciaire et nous identifions quelques causes possibles. Ensuite, des remèdes proactif et réactif sont proposés en adressant les causes de la criminalité. Dans la première partie, nous définissons l'aumônerie et nous racontons l'histoire du passé, ainsi l'actualité présente locale et nationale dans le Service correctionnel du Canada (SCC). Avec les références à l'Énoncé de la mission du SCC, quelques points de faiblesse et points forts sont soulignés. Deuxième partie, nous expliquons la cérémonie de la bénédiction dans l'Ancien Testament et nous l'adaptons et l'appliquons comme une thérapie afin d'aider des personnes empiégées dans les activités criminelles. Dans la troisième partie, nous proposons que l'église est l'endroit idéal pour l'implantation de telle bénédiction. La conclusion générale, nous regardons à toutes nos hypothèses et ajoutons quelques pensées pour réflexion future

Cape Breton not-for-profits are trying to find what amount of adherence to the guidance contained in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is necessary to ensure their organizations are accountable and transparent to their stakeholders.
