The JORH intentionally encourages the publication of topics and opinions from an eclectic range of academics, researchers and practitioners - particularly those who challenge contemporary thinking with regard to religion, spirituality and health. The majority of articles within JORH, explore topics that have significant spiritual or pastoral impact upon individuals and/or communities - either locally, nationally and/or globally.

The JORH intentionally encourages the publication of topics and opinions from an eclectic range of academics, researchers and practitioners - particularly those who challenge contemporary thinking with regard to religion, spirituality and health. The majority of articles within JORH, explore topics that have significant spiritual or pastoral impact upon individuals and/or communities - either locally, nationally and/or globally. This is exemplified by various JORH issues considering internationally relevant topics such as, 'Spirituality in Adolescents - Mental health and Positive Development' [1] or 'Remembering 9/11' (2001) terrorist activities. [2] Some articles have been controversial such as that considering schizophrenia and possession, [3] but which subsequently encouraged considerable community debate. [4] Other articles/issues have been conciliatory such as comparatively exploring Tibetan and Western Approaches to 'Mental Health, The Mind and Consciousness' [5]. Some JORH articles/issues have explored areas that are still considered exploratory and demand more research. Such is the case with regard to 'Religious involvement, anxiety/depression and PTSD symptoms' [6] or 'Moral Injury, Spiritual Care and the Role of Chaplains' [7] [8] or allied health topics such as 'Religion, Spirituality and Speech-language Pathology' [9].    The publication of such topics and community response is an indication of the journals dedication to publish a range of topics which has aided the increasing impact of the journal.
