Acknowledgements
Ralph and Sariya would like to acknowledge the support of Brill publishers and in particular Tessa Schild – Associate Editor at Brill and consistent enabler of RSSSR, Thalien Colenbrander – Production Editor at Brill for RSSSR 31 and Laura Morris – Acquisitions Editor at Brill who forged this editorial partnership between Ralph and Sariya. A partnership that is both intellectually stimulating and close to the heart. We would like to thank all those who have contributed a chapter to this volume. Special thanks to editors of the two special sections – Louise Sundararajan who edited ‘Cultural Blindness in Psychology’ and Maren Freudenberg, Martin Radermacher, and Sebastian Schüler who edited ‘Religious Authority in Practice in Contemporary Evangelical, Charismatic, and Pentecostal Christianity’. Finally this would not have been possible without the anonymous support of the peer reviewers – you make RSSSR’s quality – thank you very much.
Sariya would like to thank the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations at Coventry University, UK for providing an academic home to her and to RSSSR. She thanks her long suffering family for being patient with her as she engages in all the academic endeavours. Thank you for your encouragement and support of my work.
