Spirituality for Mental Health and Well-Being of Adult Refugees in Europe
This article reports on a pre-and post-test experimental study with 4504 refugees in 38 camps across nine destination countries. The aim was to examine the role of spirituality and a specially designed spiritual education programme in promoting mental health of refugees. A pre-and post-test experimental design has been used with three scales to examine the outcome measures: (1) the trauma screening questionnaire (2) life orientation test-revised and (3) mental health inventory-38. Results showed that compared with pre-test scores, the average post-test scores of the refugees on the trauma questionnaire were lower, and higher on optimism measure, and mental health inventory. Voluntary participation, full attendance and self-practice willingness were favourable predictors of refugee mental health. Hierarchical regression model showed that self-practice willingness was the most important predictor of positive mental health of refugees. Findings make a case for interventions for refugees grounded in cultural competency and spirituality.

Breaking or Making the Silence? British Jews and East European Jewish Relief, 1914–1917
In late 1914, Anglo-Jewry was confronted with another terrible crisis in Eastern Europe, wrought by the actions of the Habshurg, German and, most especially, Imperial Russian armies. From early 1915, the Anglo-Jewish press regularly published the horrendous detail of the Great War's impact on the Jewish communities stranded in the conflict's Eastern theatre. For Russian, Austrian, and Polish Jews, their sufferings were unimaginable, as they endured pogroms, hostage-taking, mass deportation, as well as the uprooting of tens of thousands of civilians as refugees. Here, Johnson discusses the manner in which Anglo-Jewry responded to the humanitarian catastrophe in Eastern Europe.
