Although psychology and religion deal with overlapping subject matter, the relationship between psychology and the church has a tumultuous history. The current study examined religious leaders' attitudes toward integrating psychological science into church ministry. Religious leaders (N ϭ 394) completed measures of (a) congregants' mental health and social concerns, (b) attitudes toward psychological science (i.e., perceived barriers of integration, compatibility with church ministry), and (c) hypothesized predictors of attitudes toward the integration of psychology and church ministry (i.e., political conservatism, intratextual fundamentalism, religious intellectual humility, emotional intelligence). Overall, religious leaders expressed both positive and negative attitudes toward psychology. Conservative political orientation and intratextual fundamentalism were associated with negative attitudes toward integration, whereas religious intellectual humility and emotional intelligence were associated with positive attitudes. We conclude by discussing limitations, suggestions for future research, and practical applications for psychologists and church leaders.

Decision making and strategy in missions can be elusive tasks. The presence of experts and careful planning may not assure the establishment of best practices. The purpose of this article is to introduce evidence-based practice (EBP) as a proven method for establishing best practices in the mission enterprise. I will provide (1) a definition of EBP, (2) the process for establishing an EBP, (3) the value of EBP and its contribution to the mission enterprise and the fulfillment of mission goals, and (4) the problem of bias and barriers, which challenges the implementation of EBP.

Despite statistics that show a decline in violence against women in the United States, African American women experience Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) at a higher rate than women of other races. A pilot study was conducted to investigate the influence of an evidenced based educational program about Intimate Partner Violence on help-seeking behaviors among African-American Women. The research was conducted in a faith based setting and included 22 African American women ages 18 years and older. PurposeDespite recognition that IPV is a significant problem in the African American community, few studies focus on African American Women's use of community resources for IPV is lacking [12][13][14]. The purpose of this pilot study was to identify the impact of an l intervention about IPV and community resources, to increase help-seeking behaviors for IPV. Educational Intervention (CARE)The education program was titled Churches, Advocate, through Resources, and Education (CARE). McLeod et al.,[15] identified the positive experiences of African American and European American women's experience with accessing IPV related information. CARE provided information aimed at increasing African American women's knowledge of IPV and services. The intent was to identify if CARE could be an effective model for women to assist help-seeking behaviors for IPV. The program included an educational discussion session with a video presentation about IPV and resources that are available. The resources identified in CARE included short-term and long-term housing, childcare, NorCal Open Access Publications . 01 .
