Discussion Assignment Instructions
Worldview
The student will post one thread of at least 500 words. The student must then post 1 reply of at least 300 words by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of the assigned module. For each thread, students must support their assertions with at least 3 in-text citations in APA format. Each reply must incorporate at least 2 in-text citations in APA format. In-text citations can come from all the same source or various acceptable sources to support your assertations/claims made in your original prompt and reply. Acceptable sources include the course textbooks, the Bible, outside books or peer-reviewed professional journal articles, etc.
As you begin your journey of developing a better understanding of integration and psychology, you are tackling some important concepts.
You must start with having a better understanding of your own worldview before you can move forward. Entwistle (2015) states, “everyone has a worldview a window through which he or she views the world framed by the assumptions and beliefs that color what he or she sees” (p. 60). Why you believe what you believe is important to explore in order to better understand your view of integration. It is also important to understand the mission of God. This discussion will allow for the exploration of both.
In this thread, address the following:
1st part:
What is a worldview and what are the implications of a worldview?
How might one’s worldview shape one’s view of psychology and Christianity? Explain using citations from text and scripture.
2nd part:
Found in Chapter 5 of the McMinn (2011) text is a discussion on the “relational nature of sin and healing” (p. 194). Expound upon the concepts presented: the 3 acts, relational theology of sin and healing, and finally, the mission of God.

Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Assignment Instructions
Overview
For this Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Assignment you will begin to build a scientific base of knowledge related to how psychology and Christianity impacts a topic of interest. Our focus thus far has been on the different ways and types of integration. This Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Assignment encourages you to take the next step and begin learning about how integration is applied in practical ways. The articles you review and describe here will form the foundation of the Research Paper: Final Assignment you will submit later in the course.
Instructions
Content:
· Select a topic that interests you (e.g., forgiveness, neuroscience, social justice, spiritual formation, multi-cultural issues, healing, resilience, etc.)
· Locate 10 empirical studies in peer-reviewed journals (e.g. The Journal of Psychology and Christianity) that address your topic.
· Read the articles.
· Write one to two paragraphs on each article summarizing the source and key themes presented.
· Write each summary in your own words in order to demonstrate mastery of the concepts (do not include direct quotes).
· Avoid first and second person pronouns as is required for scholarly writing.
· Be sure to use past tense when describing completed research.
Formatting
· Current APA standards (professional version) must be followed.
· In-text citations are not required as the content of each annotation refers only to the identified article.
· Final submission must include an APA-formatted title page and an appropriate number of pages to include 10 annotations (each annotation will likely include 1/3 – 1/2 pages of text). Note that neither an abstract or a reference page is required.
· Formatting sample for annotations is found in the Resources section under the Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Assignment page
Be sure to review the criteria on the Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Grading Rubric before beginning this Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Assignment.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

Sample APA Annotation
Carstensen, K., Brostrøm Kousgaard, M., & Burau, V. (2019). Sustaining an intervention for
physical health promotion in community mental health services: A multisite case study.
Health & Social Care in the Community, 27(2), 502-515.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/hsc.12671
In this article, the authors focused on a qualitative, multiple-case design focusing on four
Danish community mental health organizations. Data included 27 semi-structured
interviews with managers and frontline staff. The Normalization Process Theory (NPT)
was used to characterize the extent of health promotion interventions and to identify
important factors that influence it. The authors provided not only a definition of how they
defined sustainability, but also the conceptual framework of the analysis; they defined
how the cases studied were selected and addressed ethical considerations that needed to
be made (if any).
This case study provides what it sets out to do: a definition of sustainability, and
research which reveals factors of sustainability in intervention for physical health
promotion in community health services. The four case study findings were well
presented in an online table, facilitating the readers’ understanding of the results. This
research is useful not only for those promoting health services in a community, but also
for those seeking to provide community mental health care services.
Second reference entry would follow here on this line (no coloring) just as in a regular reference
list, followed by its annotation, and so on for all resources.
Commented [BRM(C1]: Authors’ middle initials should also be included if available.
Commented [BRM(C2]: “Double-space all reference list (including between and within references)” (APA 7th Edition, 2019, p. 40).

Commented [BRM(C4]: “Each annotation should be a new paragraph below its reference entry. Indent the entire annotation 0.5 in. from the left margin, the same as you would a block quotation” (APA 7th Edition, 2019, p. 307).
Commented [BRM(C5]: “If the annotation spans multiple paragraphs, indent the first line of the second and any subsequent paragraphs an additional 0.5 in., the same as you would a block quotation with multiple paragraphs” (APA 7th Edition, 2019, p. 307).
