A time of sifting : mystical marriage and the crisis of Moravian piety in the eighteenth century
At the end of the 1740s, the Moravians, a young and rapidly expanding radical-Pietist movement, experienced a crisis soon labeled the Sifting Time. As Moravian leaders attempted to lead the church away from the abuses of the crisis, they also tried to erase the memory of this controversial and embarrassing period. Archival records were systematically destroyed, and official histories of the church only dealt with this period in general terms. It is not surprising that the Sifting Time became both a taboo and an enigma in Moravian historiography. In A Time of Sifting, Paul Peucker provides the first book-length, in-depth look at the Sifting Time and argues that it did not consist of an extreme form of blood-and-wounds devotion, as is often assumed. Rather, the Sifting Time occurred when Moravians began to believe that the union with Christ could be experienced not only during marital intercourse but during extramarital sex as well. Peucker shows how these events were the logical consequence of Moravian teachings from previous years. As the nature of the crisis became evident, church leaders urged the members to revert to their earlier devotion of the blood and wounds of Christ. By returning to this earlier phase, the Moravians lost their dynamic character and became more conservative. It was at this moment that the radical-Pietist Moravians of the first half of the eighteenth century reinvented themselves as a noncontroversial evangelical denomination.

Career‐Related Filial Piety and Career Adaptability in Hong Kong University Students
According to career construction theory, cultural beliefs represent a social construct that may shape an individual’s career path. In Chinese society, the Confucian concept of filial piety is one such influential belief. More specifically, reciprocal filial piety involves mutually supportive processes between parents and their offspring, whereas authoritarian filial piety is characterized by the suppression of the offspring’s own wishes to comply with those of their parents. The authors examined the extent to which Hong Kong undergraduate students (N = 522) possess dual career‐related filial piety and how it relates to their career adaptability during the school‐to‐work transition. Results indicated that career‐related reciprocal filial piety was regarded as important and was associated with all career adaptability dimensions, whereas career‐related authoritarian filial piety was not. The possible complex effect of dual career‐related filial piety on career adaptability deserves attention from career counselors and researchers.

The Promise of Piety
In The Promise of
Piety , Arsalan Khan examines the zealous
commitment to a distinct form of face-to-face preaching (dawat)
among Pakistani Tablighis, practitioners of the transnational
Islamic piety movement the Tablighi Jamaat. This group
says that Muslims have abandoned their religious duties for worldly
pursuits, creating a state of moral chaos apparent in the breakdown
of relationships in the family, nation, and global Islamic
community. Tablighis insist that this dire situation can only be
remedied by drawing Muslims back to Islam through dawat, which they
regard as the sacred means for spreading Islamic virtue. In a
country founded in the name of Muslim identity and where Islam is
ubiquitous in public life, the Tablighi claim that Pakistani
Muslims have abandoned Islam is particularly striking.
The Promise of Piety shows how Tablighis constitute a
distinct form of pious relationality in the ritual processes and
everyday practices of dawat and how pious relationality serves as a
basis for transforming domestic and public life. Khan explores both
the promise and limits of the Tablighi project of creating an
Islamic moral order that can transcend the political fragmentation
and violence of life in postcolonial Pakistan.

Employees’ competence need satisfaction and loyalty: Intrinsic work motivation as a mediator, moderated by belief in reciprocal filial piety
Competition for talent is becoming increasingly fierce in China’s rapidly developing economy, so that cultivating loyalty among employees is important for the competitiveness and sustainable development of enterprises. From an individual perspective, in this study we explored the internal mechanism of employees’ competence need satisfaction on their loyalty. We constructed a moderated mediation model with intrinsic work motivation as the mediator and reciprocal filial piety belief as the moderator. In a study conducted with Master of Business Administration students in Henan Province, along with employees in Xuchang, we received 438 valid survey responses for analysis. The results indicated that employee loyalty was positively affected by competence need satisfaction, with intrinsic work motivation playing a partial mediating role. Reciprocal filial piety belief positively moderated the mediating process. Therefore, managers should pay attention to employees’ need for competence satisfaction, and should take measures to improve employees’ motivation.

Linking dual filial piety consciousness and mental health in Chinese adult children
Previous studies have reported on the effect of filial piety on mental health among adult children. We hypothesized a detailed mechanism for this effect and conducted descriptive and correlation analyses using data from the 2017 Chinese General Social Survey. Results showed that among
adult children, dual filial piety (i. e., authoritarian and reciprocal) consciousness had a positive effect on mental health. Further, bidirectional intergenerational support partially mediated this effect, and mobility (i. e., local vs. migrant) moderated this effect, with migrants being
more susceptible than were locals. Our findings offer theoretical insight and practical recommendations for improving the mental health of adult children.
