Arunas Acus banner

Dr., prof. Arunas Acus has worked as a university teacher for 47 years. “We live in society of constant changes, and I enjoy my work as an analyst of social changes and social problems: I do my research, exploring different methods and then applying the knowledge to inform social work practice and advocate for change. My work is related to analysis of social problems, understanding of their causes, and developing strategies to address them often through policy or direct intervention. Caritative social work emphasizes the pursuit of social changes in society. More than that – it stands for changes in the personalities. This is the broader level – and I enjoy doing research at European Christian Academy.”

Assist. prof., mag. Guntis Dišlers says: “These words by St. Augustine is a key to intellectual part of my life. Several years I have worked as an editor at Latvian Academy of Sciences. My gift as a philologist and theologian has been to master penetrating studies of ancient languages and translations of ancient Patristic anthropological texts. I am heading working research group of translators, it is challenging due to factors like outdated language, cultural context and textual variations. Ancient languages have grammatical structure and vocabulary that differs significantly from modern languages also stylistically, and nuances of meaning can be lost in translation. Texts are of great value for Master students in Caritative Social Work and Supervision.”

My motto: “I will never rain roses. When we want to have more roses, we must plant more roses”. 

This is the same with my students’ souls. We must plant good knowledge of self-understanding – how deep is the knowledge of Patristic anthropologists have left for us. I wonder about the anthropologists – how they laid the humanistic, theological, anthropological background of Europe.

My main research interests are related to Caritative social work development and anthropological structure of personalities.

Prof. Jonas Michael Christensen works together with ECA for more detailed breakdown challenges:

  • Increased complexity of social problems,
  • Impact on labor standards. He enjoys ECA’s partnering in the EC networking organization EZA (“European Center for Workers’ Questions”), and lectures on international seminars impacting focus of Social work on decent work and fair treatment.

“I enjoy discussions with ECA colleagues on Patristic anthropology-oriented approach to client that empowers them much deeper than psychology to build resilience.”

While increased trade and interconnectedness can offer economic benefits and access to new technologies, they also expose Social work to new problems like human trafficking, and many others. How to adapt to these global changes advocating for sustainable practices and addressing the social consequences of globalization, including its impact on labor standards and social inequalities.

Dr., prof. Skaidrīte Gūtmane states her motto is best described by statement of system analyst Emmanual Wallerstein. Innovative ideas at ECA are rooted in knowledge of Patristic anthropology born in ancient Alexandrian and Antiochian schools 4th – 8th centuries. They may bring about effective social solutions for Social work with clients today. The knowledge is framed in the interdisciplinary knowledge by use of methodology of integrative theology. That makes the discourse of the professional Social work compliant with requirements of the modern European political guidelines.

I was the Vice-Rector for academic affairs at Klaipeda University (LT) when I visited European Christian Academy and understood that the client-oriented social work research is without borders – social gerontology, social work policy, social work professionalization, professional competence transformation based on Patristic anthropology knowledge for doing great and noble things in the area of Open Science.”

Dr., prof. Gaļina Sedova: “That is what historians do! I am PhD in history of the Orthodox Church, my period is the time when Orthodox Churches were persecuted under Communist regime in Latvia. I really register wrongs, but at the same time from the Patristic anthropology viewpoint I analyze personalities’ strengths and positive force to resist evil. My research is of great help to ECA students to help them in understanding what spiritual means that may lead caritative social workers’ clients out of different crises.”

Dr., prof. Chaim Weiss: “I explore reasons for marginality of Jewish subject matter in anthropology embedded in the Christian theological heritage of anthropological thought.” Textuality as an essential theme in the anthropology of Judaism. Contemporary Jewry serves as the single source for the social scientific consideration of the world. Jewry, its institutional trends, character and concerns.

While much relevant scholarship about Jewry is published in general social science journals as well as more narrowly focused periodicals, European Christian Academy’s interdisciplinary knowledge approach uses it primarily  on the scientific study of anthropology in connection with Patristic anthropology as the background for continuity of G-d’s anthropological revelation.
