Sinopsis

To date, little has been published about the place of spirituality in working with survivors of intimate partner violence. Overcoming Conflicting Loyalties examines the intersection of faith and culture in the lives of religious and ethno-cultural women in the context of the work of FaithLink, a unique community initiative that encourages religious leaders and secular service providers to work together. The authors present the benefits of such cooperation by reporting the findings of three qualitative research studies. Individuals in secular and sacral services who work with victims of domestic violence, as well as academics in the fields of social work, psychology, and religious studies, will benefit from the insights, depth of experience, and range of voices represented in this valuable book. Irene Sevcik, Michael Rothery, Nancy Nason-Clark, and The Very Rev. Robert Pynn have brought their professional expertise and experiences to benefit FaithLink at different times and in different capacities. All of the authors live in Calgary except Nason-Clark, who lives in Fredericton. Sponsored by The Calgary Foundation.

Acerca de los autores

Irene Sevcik holds a Ph.D., University of Toronto, Faculty of Social Work (1986) and a Masters of Religious Education, Asbury Theological Seminary (1966). Throughout her career, Irene developed and managed intervention programs for children and families, including those affected by intimate partner violence. Prior to her retirement she served as Program Director of FaithLink - a community initiative which built relationships between religious/ethno-cultural communities and secularly-based service providers in collaborative responses to intimate partner violence. Irene's published works include: a working paper (1984) An Ecological Perspective of Child Neglect: Relevant Research Re-ordered: A Service Delivery Model Examine; book chapters (with Nason-Clark, Rothery and Pynn (2011), Finding their Voices and Speaking Out: Research Among Women of Faith in Western Canada; with Reed (2008), Its Everybody's Business; with Nason-Clark, Rothery, Pynn (in press), Caring for the Caregivers: The Efficacy of a Centred Meditation Practice within a Secular Setting); a journal article (with Giesbrecht (2000), The Process of Recovery and Rebuilding Among Abused Women in the Conservative Evangelical Subculture); and many unpublished research and program related reports. She has led numerous discussion groups and developed and offered training to religious organizations regarding the implementation of intimate partner and child sexual abuse protocol guidelines.

Michael Rothery is a professor emeritus, recently retired from the University of Calgary's Faculty of Social Work. Through most of his career, he taught social work theory, research and practice, while remaining active in the community as a volunteer and scholar. His publications include books on clinical social work practice, family violence and research methods. Throughout his professional and academic career, Mike studied services to vulnerable families, with violence in adult intimate relationships having been an especially strong interest. Introduced by FaithLink to the complexities of human services in the context of the secular/sacral divide, he has, in recent years, devoted time and energy to understanding the relationship between religious and secular helping for people experiencing intimate partner violence.

Nancy Nason-Clark teaches a variety of undergraduate and graduate sociology courses in research methods, gender, religion and violence. In more recent years, her research and writing has focussed on issues of violence in the family context and issues of faith or spirituality. Her research program involves a variety of projects examining the relationship between abuse, faith, gender and culture; and has taken her to many parts of the world, most recently to India, Eastern Europe, and the Caribbean.

The Very Reverend Robert Pynn was born in Toronto and received his higher education in Boston Massachusetts earning his graduate degree at The Episcopal Theological School in Harvard University. He has lived and worked in Ottawa, Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia.

Throughout his career he has inspired and helped found many social programs, including Homefront and FaithLink. At a 2006 awares ceremony Dean Pynn was called "the heart and soul of the Domestic Violence Sector." He is presently the Chair of The Trinity Place Foundation of Calgary where he helped initiate and integrated response to the abuse of seniors. Much of his poetry and contemplative reflections have been used by service agencies and read at their Board meetings and gala events.
