  In the century since its founding in 1924, the Roman Catholic diocese of Lancaster has had seven bishops and one auxiliary bishop. In a series of biographical portraits, Paul Severn tells the story of each of the bishops, explores their background and their impact on the life of the diocese in a century of change in the Church and in the wider world.
  
   
  Looking back on a century that has seen two world wars, profound changes in society, the “revolution” of the Second Vatican Council, increasing secularization and declining numbers of those attending church, and the beginnings of synodality, he reflects on the lives of the individual bishops and also on the role and responsibility of Roman Catholic bishops in the twenty-first century.

  Medieval History of Montenegro...

  Much has been written about Western intervention during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and whether it made matters worse, prevented worse atrocities, or was simply ineffective. In early 1992, however, what was clear was that Europe was hopelessly divided over the best course of action to take towards Yugoslavia, and after several years of fighting, the Bosnian War was one of the most violent conflagrations in Europe since the end of World War II.  
  	That war had been the byproduct of centuries of tensions in the Balkans, and an attempt in the wake of World War I to redraw the political boundaries of Europe and the Middle East. That included forming the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, initially known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, a particularly fragile enterprise, and there was almost constant tension between the majority Serbs and the other Yugoslav nationalities, especially the Croats. As a result, the Kingdom was a land of political assassinations, underground terrorist organizations, and ethnic animosities. In 1929, King Alexander I suspended democracy and ruled as a dictator until he himself was assassinated in 1934.  
  	Depending on the source, many authors have focused on different catalysts for Yugoslavia’s demise, but Vesna Drapac may have succinctly summed the situation up when he wrote that by the end, the state “lacked a reason to exist.” There is certainly something in this sentiment, but the disintegration came at an enormous cost. 
  	Given what happened in Yugoslavia, it should be little surprise the area that eventually became the modern nation of Montenegro has had a turbulent history for millennia, with shifting borders, different degrees of autonomy, and various conflicts occurring within it.

  Knowing what the Bible says about fear doesn’t always help us feel less anxious. Prayer does not always help either. This book explores the spiritual practices and scriptures that can counteract how anxiety works in the brain. When facing anxiety, some forms of prayer are more helpful than others for each person. This is true both spiritually and psychologically. But here’s help in discerning which practices are most useful in dealing with immediate anxiety, other practices for dealing with root causes, and further suggestions that promote long-term freedom from anxiety’s debilitating effects. These practices can deepen our relationship with God and help reduce anxiety at the same time. Anxiety Transformed: Prayer that Brings Enduring Change brings together insights from spiritual formation, psychotherapy, and neuroscience, as well as the author's personal journey with God through periods of anxiety. These concepts are integrated into a model of life-changing spiritual and psychological transformation.
