Fr. Dr. Constant Leke discusses his book Charisma in the church: Pauline orientation and actual dynamics published by Echter Verlag in January 2024.

===
Pauline orientation and actual dynamicsCharism is a hot contemporary issue. The growing interest in the charisms is one of the significant religious developments of our time. Opinions on charisms vary to a remarkable degree. Unfortunately, in some cases, diverse viewpoints have led to confusion among Christians. On the positive side though, this developing interest in charisms has contributed to spiritual renewal and stimulated biblical research in this most important area of the Church’s life.
The exponential growth of the Charismatic/Pentecostal Movement throughout the world and especially in Africa urged led to choice of this topic on charisms. In the Charismatic/Pentecostal Movements the issue of charisms is very vital and extremely important. It is at the centre of its spirituality and practice. This Movement has spread to almost all major Christian confessions/denominations and continues to attract many followers.
This work is unique among the many studies written on the charisms. Even though the subject of charisms has received some scholarly attention, most have not delved into the role of the charisms in the Church from Pauline perspective as this study does. The following observations and reasons demonstrate that it is still meaningful and worthwhile to study charisms in Pauline letters

His work aims to create a sociology of literacy that provides insights into cultural, political, and power-relational dimensions of linguistic and textual practices. He mobilizes discourse analysis, ethnography, practitioner research, narrative inquiry, and arts-based inquiry to study the sociological dimensions of reading, writing, and language education. He is particularly interested in learning about the experiences of minoritized and racialized students in multicultural and multilingual contexts. He studies organic writing practices that occur beyond the current narrow institutional categorizations of writing styles, genres, and rhetorical norms. He seeks to learn from literacy practices that are unofficial, underground, community-based, plurilingual, and multi-semiotic. He also welcomes opportunities to study non-Western forms of language and literacy education. His research is often interdisciplinary. In his scholarship, he draws on philosophy, sociology, history, and literary theory. Where applicable, he makes use of creative academic genres such as poetic scholarship.

For over 40 years, Dr. Langer has studied Mindlessness/ Mindfulness in everyday situations where mindlessness is pervasive and very costly. Mindfulness (without meditation), on the other hand, has been shown to be literally and figuratively enlivening, and results in health, well-being, improved relationships, and Dr. Ellen Langer has been studying the mindlessness of ostensibly thoughtful action for over forty years, from everyday situations, to nursing homes, schools, and business, and has found that mindlessness is both pervasive and unnoticed. She has also proposed and tested an alternative cognitive process that she has shown to be relevant across multiple domains. She has termed this process “mindfulness,” but it should not be confused with meditation.
