Swami Sahajananda (1781-1830), the founder of the Swaminarayan Movement, considered by his followers as an embodiment of Krishna, let Swami Shatananda write the Satsangijivanam in order to vouchsafe that his presence and teaching live on among his followers in and through this text. The extensive work is composed in Sanskrit and is here presented in an English summary. The text describes the biography of Swami Sahajananda and is an important document for the religious situation in the Gujarat of its time; it testifies to the religious practices (festivals, norms and values for private and public life) by which Swaminarayan wanted to replace practices (like animal sacrifice) that were considered as abuses. The content of the text is made accessible through a detailed index.

In modern soccer, players of all abilities experience enormous time pressure and pressure from opponents.

However, perfect ball control does not just start when the ball is at the player's feet, but must always be seen in the context of a game situation and an opponent. Perfect ball control can be broken down into four Preparation for the initial contact with the ball (perception, running into free space, adopting a suitable body position) The first touch of the ball Actions in possession of the ball (dribbling, feinting) Final action (pass, cross, shot at the goal) This practical book contains more than 160 drills and ball games and over 200 photos and 120 illustrations covering ball control, dribbling, feinting, passing, crossing and shooting at the goal.

Der Zusammenhang von Bildung, Religion und Europa erhält in Wissenschaft, Öffentlichkeit, Politik und Kirche bislang nicht die nötige Beachtung, obwohl er zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnt. Die Diskussion darüber, was Europa für die Bildung und umgekehrt bedeutet, steht in nationalen Bildungsdebatten oft im Hintergrund. Werden die Begriffe „Europa und Bildung“ um „Religion“ erweitert, ist die Aufmerksamkeit noch geringer. Das Thema wird aus der Perspektive des christlichen Glaubens und der Kirchen sowie der (europäischen) Bildungspolitik betrachtet. Die Frage nach „Demokratischer Bildungsverantwortung und die Religionen“ verdeutlicht, dass ein öffentlich verantwortetes Bildungswesen für die Demokratie unerlässlich ist. Die Formen der demokratischen Realisierung öffentlicher Bildungsverantwortung sind vielfältig. Es entspricht dem Prinzip der Subsidiarität, dass neben staatlichen Bildungseinrichtungen auch Kirchen und Religionsgemeinschaften eigene Angebote wie Kindertagesstätten, Schulen oder Erwachsenenbildung unterhalten, unterstützt vom Staat. Der Band dokumentiert entsprechende Erfahrungen anhand ausgewählter nationaler und europäischer Beispiele und enthält Beiträge von verschiedenen Experten, darunter Kirchenvertreter, Wissenschaftler und Bildungspolitiker aus verschiedenen Ländern.

Developments in theology and religious education across various countries foster a renewed dialogue between these fields. This book emphasizes the role of Christian theologies in relation to religious education, which is part of the public school curriculum in most European countries. Recognized as an academic subject, religious education encompasses both education and religion. Its relationship with theology, religious studies, and educational philosophy varies due to differing traditions and developments throughout Europe. A working group of nine experts from eight countries collaborated for two years under the Intereuropean Commission on Church and School (ICCS) and the Comenius-Institut in Münster, Germany. Their collaborative process resulted in diverse articles that reflect group discussions, ongoing project reports, and theoretical analyses based on relevant literature. Collectively, these contributions aim to inspire various activities and exploration within the field of religious education at multiple levels. Notable contributors include Roland Biewald, Gertud Ide Yversen, Juha Luodeslampi, Valentin Koshuharov, Alma Lanser-van der Velde, Gordon Mitchell, Gaynor Pollard, Sturla Sagberg, and Peter Schreiner, with a foreword by Hans Spinder.

The book comes out of the ecumenical movement and is one outcome of the Holistic Education Study Process of the World Council of Churches. It contributes to a dialogue between education philosophy and religious education, spiritual education and the search for peace and justice, reconciliation and healing as a yearning of all human beings.
