Is analyzed in this Pentecostal Protestant brotherhood formed mostly by people of middle class, the place of religious emotion and its relation to the education of the senses as offering the assimilation of a habitus and a strong self-control individual demonstrating the effectiveness of the training body through religion. Immersed in a social reality of many changes that cause reconfiguration of religions, in particular type of Pentecostalism studied note that, in the management of symbolic goods, the main ingredient is the emotional attachment to respond to collective and individual demands of public religious. If some years the central cultic of Pentecostal Protestantism was in listening to the sermon and relive the experience of the Christian Pentecost, today the focus here is the emotion that must cross the entire worship. The same occurs in two areas of catechetical privileged church, namely the meeting in the temple called "Knowing the Scriptures" and the meetings of groups in homes. This shift is evident also in the bodies of believers, because they build and shape to the existing social reality and express the experiences in this context. From the observation of religious and catechetical meetings of this church, in this work examines how the religious emotion is constructed, reproduced and distributed, taking into account the social and economic conditions specific to the religious group concerned.(AU) / O objeto de estudo desta pesquisa é a Comunidade da Graça, presente há dez anos em São Bernardo do Campo, região do ABC paulista. Analisa-se o lugar da emoção religiosa e sua relação com a educação dos sentidos nesta confraria protestante pentecostal formada majoritariamente por pessoas de classe média, como propiciadora da assimilação de um habitus e de um forte auto-controle individual evidenciando a eficácia do adestramento corporal pela via da religião. Imersa em uma realidade social de muitas mudanças que provocam reconfigurações das religiões, no tipo específico de pentecostalismo estudado nota-se que, na gestão dos bens simbólicos, o ingrediente emocional é o principal acessório a fim de responder às demandas coletivas e individuais deste público religioso. Se há alguns anos a centralidade cúltica do protestantismo pentecostal estava no ouvir a prédica e reviver a experiência do pentecostes cristão, hoje em dia o foco neste é a emoção que deve perpassar todo o culto. O mesmo ocorre nos dois espaços catequéticos privilegiados desta igreja, a saber, a reunião no templo chamada de Conhecendo as Escrituras e os encontros de grupos nos lares. Esta mudança se evidencia, também, nos corpos dos fiéis, pois estes se constróem e modelam-se à realidade social vigente e expressam as experiências vivenciadas neste contexto. A partir da observação dos cultos e reuniões catequéticas desta igreja, analisa-se neste trabalho o modo como a emoção religiosa é construída, difundida e reproduzida, levando-se em consideração as condições sociais e econômicas específicas do grupo religioso em questão.(AU)

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States and is one of the leading causes of cancer death among men of all races. However, African-American men are at particularly high risk. These men are diagnosed more often with prostate cancer, are diagnosed later, and are more than twice as likely to die from prostate cancer than are Caucasian men. A strategy to address this inequity was to develop a community based program that would reach this at risk population. The goal of the project was to develop an evidence-based, theory-supported education and referral program to promote prostate cancer prevention screening among African-American men utilizing New York community church settings. The resultant scholarly project aims to motivate the target population towards prostate cancer prevention screening as appropriate through the development of an evidence-based, theory-supported, community-focused education and referral program using self-efficacy theory. This project provides a program, grounded in self-efficacy, that will educate African-American men about prostate cancer, empower them with knowledge regarding risk, motivate them to seek preventative screenings, and obtain care if needed. An evaluation strategy was developed incorporating a post-test questionnaire to measure participant knowledge and self-efficacy along with a process for measuring referrals to local screening and treatment programs. The program will bring about positive social change through empowerment of a population of men suffering from disparate access to care resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Dissemination of the project will include presentations to the community church leaders and Caribbean healthcare professionals, as well as publication in Parish nursing journals.
