Succession crisis

The relationship between my faith and my work as a therapist is very interesting to me. I was born and raised a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) also known as Mormons. When I was two my family moved to a home in Provo, Utah where my father became a professor at Brigham Young University which is owned and run by the LDS Church. The area where I lived was about 99% Mormon. In fourth grade there was only one student in my entire grade-level who was not a member of the Mormon Church. It seemed that church, school, and family-life all blended together under the belief and instructions of the LDS church. I had doubts and questions about things and I always felt sort of jealous and “less-than” my friends who didn’t seem to have any problems with the beliefs. But I did grow up in the church and even went on an eighteen-month mission for the church at age twenty-one, got married in the temple (which all good Mormon’s do), and raised four boys in the church. If I had become a therapist as a perfectly devout Mormon, I think I would have been too narrow-minded to be an effective therapist. While the Mormon Church believes in psychotherapy, encourages struggling members to get therapy, and even provides LDS sponsored therapy to members with the recommendation of their bishop, many teachings, I believe, cause therapeutic problems and psychotherapy received is often rooted in LDS doctrine. For example, I had problems with depression growing up and the…

Developing a strong succession plan not only helps with people understanding what will happen to the company, but also helps illustrate the plan instead of having a plan that is pieced together at the last minute. Along with succession plans are the need to stay away from 50/50 ownerships. The issues that arise are difficult decision making as both partners have to agree to move forward or if one disagrees then you’re at a standstill. This makes it difficult to move the company forward if…

People today look at the Catholic church mainly as a the leader of parts of Europe especially Vatican City, this is because of its main focal point on politics and the way things are handled, within the church. Many Catholics today argue that the Catholic church still has too much power over the people due to the popularity of the religion. Because of this the Catholic church has lots of support when making decisions involving politics yet often receives lots of criticism as well. This tends to…

Pillars of the Earth: Essay The novel Pillars of the Earth centers around a village and a church, it tells the adventures of struggling peasants, the fall of earldoms, and many love stories.

In my adolescent years, I went through a couple of struggles before I became a Catholic. I became a Catholic when I was baptized as a little baby but then bad situations occurred and I missed out on being the Catholic I wanted to become as a little girl because my parents stopped taking me to church. As I grew up, I have always felt I had a something missing and I knew it was God’s love. When I hit freshman year in high school I found myself going back to the Catholic church with my Catholic…

Succession is the process by which the structure of a community evolves over time. There are many factors that can affect succession, such as environmental changes, which are natural and harmless to the nature, and human-caused changes which mostly will end up ruining a succession. The two driving forces for succession include evolution and natural selection. Evolution is known as a change in the population or community that can be measured such as number of the members of the community. Natural…

Introduction According to Warren & Bennis (2010), “The constancy of change that drives efforts to reinvent government bureaucracies, church hierarchies, and business practices call for audacious leaders who take a stand for what they believe in” (p.29). As a practicing Catholic, I have noticed that the Church is continuously challenged to redefine the role of the Church in our ever changing society under the leadership of Pope Francis. While it is relatively easy to appreciate the public…

the western United States forest succession and the role of fire as a mechanism triggering forest community succession and the interaction of drought and forest fires are significant to the ecosystems and the living animals and plants affected by it.
