  • Migration and Morality Amongst Sri Lankan Catholics
    UNLIKELY COSMPOLITANS: MIGRATION AND MORALITY AMONGST SRI LANKAN CATHOLICS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Bernardo Enrique Brown August, 2013 © 2013 Bernardo Enrique Brown ii UNLIKELY COSMOPOLITANS: MIGRATION AND MORALITY AMONGST SRI LANKAN CATHOLICS Bernardo Enrique Brown, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2013 Sri Lankan Catholic families that successfully migrated to Italy encountered multiple challenges upon their return. Although most of these families set off pursuing very specific material objectives through transnational migration, the difficulties generated by return migration forced them to devise new and creative arguments to justify their continued stay away from home. This ethnography traces the migratory trajectories of Catholic families from the area of Negombo and suggests that – due to particular religious, historic and geographic circumstances– the community was able to develop a cosmopolitan attitude towards the foreign that allowed many of its members to imagine themselves as ―better fit‖ for migration than other Sri Lankans. But this cosmopolitanism was not boundless, it was circumscribed by specific ethical values that were constitutive of the identity of this community. For all the cosmopolitan curiosity that inspired people to leave, there was a clear limit to what values and practices could be negotiated without incurring serious moral transgressions. My dissertation traces the way in which these iii transnational families took decisions, constantly navigating between the extremes of a flexible, rootless cosmopolitanism and a rigid definition of identity demarcated by local attachments. Through fieldwork conducted between January and December of 2010 in the predominantly Catholic region of Negombo, I examine the work that transnational migrants did to become moral beings in a time of globalization, individualism and intense consumerism.

Following is a comprehensive review of activities since the inception of Columbia’s activities in Sri Lanka. Needs Assessment David L. Phillips, Director of the Program on Peace-building and Rights at the Institute for the Study of Human Rights (ISHR), visited Sri Lanka, including Jaffna, to assess conditions and conduct field research on attitudes and issues of importance to Sri Lankans, including Tamils. Phillips met with Sri Lankan, U.S., Norwegian and Indian government officials as well as leading Sri Lankan NGOs and academics from the University of Jaffna (March 14 – 19, 2011).

  • Ambassador for World Peace Why Herbert W
    AMBASSADOR FOR WORLD PEACE WHY HERBERT W. ARMSTRONG MET WITH HUNDREDS OF WORLD LEADERS GERALD FLURRY AMBASSADOR FOR WORLD PEACE WHY HERBERT W. ARMSTRONG MET WITH HUNDREDS OF WORLD LEADERS GERALD FLURRY THIS BOOKLET IS NOT TO BE SOLD. It is a free educational service in the public interest, published by the Philadelphia Church of God. © 2017 Philadelphia Church of God All Rights Reserved Printed in the United States of America Scriptures in this publication are quoted from the King James Version, unless otherwise noted. n the 1970s and 1980s, one private citizen was jetting around the world and meeting with I hundreds of world leaders. He met presidents, prime ministers, kings, emperors, princes, legislators, ambassadors, generals, officers, mayors, judges, scientists, educators, magnates and executives. He talked with heads of state and heads of government in their offices at their invitations. Who was this man? He wasn’t a head of government; he wasn’t even a government official. He wasn’t a captain of industry; he wasn’t even a businessman. He wasn’t a billionaire or millionaire. He was a man named Herbert W. Armstrong. Mr. Armstrong was a man who actually gave up his business to follow what he read in the Bible. He followed God and lived for decades in poverty. He eventually led a church and a college. He did not seek to become a world traveler, a friend of prime ministers, an unofficial ambassador for world peace. Even if he had tried, he never could have achieved a fraction of what he ended up doing.
