Christian Accommodative Mindfulness: Definition, Current Research, and Group Protocol
More clinicians are using mindfulness-based therapeutic strategies; however, Evangelical Christian clients sometimes worry about the Buddhist origins of these treatments. Christian accommodative mindfulness (CAM) attempts to address these concerns with culturally sensitive adaptations to mindfulness methods. We present a definition of CAM and propose some worldview adjustments to typical mindfulness constructs when working with these clients. The empirical research on Christian-derived meditation strategies and Christian-adapted mindfulness strategies will then be reviewed. We introduce a four-session group CAM protocol currently being researched that focuses on scripture meditation, breath meditation, body awareness, and loving-kindness meditation. Sample scripts are included.

A 4-Week Online Christian Accommodative Mindfulness Intervention
Christian Accommodative Meditation (CAM) programs are gaining popularity yet are rarely delivered in an online format. This study aimed to investigate an online 4-week CAM intervention’s impact on university students’ perceived stress, experienced grace, and mindfulness. A quasi-experimental design was used, placing participants in either the treatment group (n = 24) or a wait-list control group (n = 20). A pre- and posttreatment survey was given, which measured initial perceived stress levels, degree of grace experienced towards self, others, and God, and mindfulness levels. Participants reported their subjective units of distress before and after each meditation attempt. Participants receiving the intervention showed an increase in Grace to Self (small effect size) and mindfulness (medium effect size). The study offers preliminary findings supporting CAM interventions’ effectiveness as an online intervention for increasing Christian participants’ mindfulness skills.
Dissertation
Midnight's descendants : a history of South Asia since partition /
\"In Midnight's Descendants, John Keay presents the first general history of present-day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka and its peoples. The book examines the complex web of affiliations--of kinship, locality, language, tribe, clan, profession, and caste--that shape relations among the countries in the region. Keay argues that correlating and contrasting the fortunes of all the constituent nations since the 1947 partition affords unique insights into the tensions and conflicts that divide the region to this day\"-- Provided by publisher.

The tartan turban : in search of Alexander Gardner
Imagine spending thirteen years fighting and travelling in disguise in the deserts of Inner Asia, then another thirteen years as an officer in the army of the Sikhs, the last of India's great native empires. How would you convince a disbelieving Western audience? Suppose, too, that while 'long separated from the world' you had acquired a reputation for conduct utterly unacceptable in civilised society. How would you justify it? However much you protested, many would reckon you a scoundrel and liar. Lively reminiscences - such as saving the city of Lahore in 1841 by singlehandedly killing 300 invaders - and numerous scars would not impress them, nor would the eccentricities of old age. The most you could hope for would be an impartial, if remote, vindication. Gardner's story, like Marco Polo's, changed people's understanding of the world. The urge to contest or authenticate his account contributed to the scientific and political penetration of a vast chunk of Asia. Readers will see the whole region, from the Caspian to Tibet, in a new light and gain a fresh perspective on its last years under native rule.
