Sinossi

"Home Prayer Limits" explores the controversial practice of governmental oversight, specifically focusing on the monitoring of private prayer by Scottish authorities. It highlights the tension between religious freedom and national security, questioning whether state power should extend to surveilling individuals in their own homes. The book delves into the rationale behind these policies, the methods employed, and the ethical implications for civil liberties and religious minorities.

 
The book examines the historical context and legal precedents that led to these monitoring policies in Scotland. It offers a detailed analysis of how surveillance laws intersect with human rights conventions, challenging readers to consider the impact on privacy and religious expression.

 
The book is structured to first introduce the case study, then delve into the historical and ethical context, and finally, analyze the implications for religious minorities and democratic governance.

 
Ultimately, "Home Prayer Limits" argues that such monitoring represents an overreach of governmental power, even if motivated by security concerns. Through its exploration of governmental oversight, the book aims to inform academics, policymakers, and anyone concerned about the balance between national security and individual liberties. It provides a comprehensive analysis of this complex issue, making it a valuable resource for understanding contemporary debates on surveillance and religious freedom.

(Dis)Obedience in Digital...

Sven Quadflieg, Klaus Neuburg,...

Algorithms are not to be regarded as a technical structure but as a social phenomenon - they embed themselves, currently still very subtle, into our political and social system. Algorithms shape human behavior on various levels: they influence not only the aesthetic reception of the world but also the well-being and social interaction of their users. They act and intervene in a political and social context. As algorithms influence individual behavior in these social and political situations, their power should be the subject of critical discourse - or even lead to active disobedience and to the need for appropriate tools and methods which can be used to break the algorithmic power.

No One Left Alone - A Story of...

Liz Walker, Father Gregory Boyle

As the first Black woman to anchor the Boston-area evening news, Liz Walker found herself in an industry that defined the neighborhood of Roxbury largely by violence. But when she became a pastor there, Walker grew close to households marked not only by trauma but by courage—including the family of Cory Johnson, a young father who was murdered. In the wake of their worst nightmare, the family reached out for help. 
 
 
 
As Walker's congregation invited neighbors to gather, they created soft spaces for others' grief to land. There, in the stories told, the meals shared, the tears shed, and the silences kept, people found a space to receive their sorrow. Out of this ministry grew a grassroots trauma-healing program, one now being replicated across the country. 
 
 
 
Through this groundbreaking book, begin to imagine what story-sharing groups might look like in your context. Face the disparity of grief that comes from racism and systemic inequality, and learn to confront legacies of harm. Discover the healing power of listening, as well as the art and skills of accompanying someone in pain. Further, grasp how caregivers, pastors, counselors, and other healers—many with their own wounds—can benefit from soft spaces too.
