CWM Is Pleased to Present This Prayer Book for Every Day of the Year in 2018, in Observation of Our Fortieth Anniversary Travelling Together DAILY DEVOTIONS 2018 Introduction CWM is pleased to present this prayer book for every day of the year in 2018, in observation of our fortieth anniversary. Yes, we are forty years old; and we are grateful to God for having led us all the way. It has been a dynamic journey of dreaming, daring and dancing in good times and in bad times. Through it all God has sustained and strengthened us, giving us the spirit of discernment to comprehend the signs of the time and to move towards the unfolding future with confidence and hope. As we prepare to embark on the next forty years we are convinced, more than ever before, of the sustaining power of God’s grace to pave the way for us and to keep on enlightening (opening) “‘the eyes of our hearts’ to know the hope to which Christ called us, the riches of his glorious inheritance and the immeasurable greatness of his power for us” (Eph. 1: 18). This gift of enlightening or discernment locates us at the heart of God, where God’s purpose is revealed, though dimly, and our mission defined. It is our prayer that as we submit ourselves to God we will see more clearly and that our experience of walking with God will bring us peace and joy. This devotional guide is an invitation to the reader to explore, and hopefully experience, the unfathomable riches of God’s grace and to live in confident hope that God’s future, buoyant with possibility, is already breaking in on the horizons of our consciousness. The reflections herein represent the experiences, faith and convictions of the contributors; their reflection on scripture within the context of current landscape; and their vulnerability in making public their theological views and biases. We pray that reading and meditating on the content of these pages will serve to inspire faith and encourage us in our walk with God throughout this year. God has created a world, full of beauty and charm. The sounds of the whistling winds amid the swaying trees and stately mountainside; the chirping birds, sweetly singing as sun sets and evening dusks; the laughter of children; and the rush of heartbeats, celebrating love and I • TRAVELLING TOGETHER connecting kindred spirits display the miracle of God’s creative imagination at work. Despite the wonder of it all, however, we live in the midst of brokenness, where shattered dreams and broken promises often define our experience; broken systems ruin our best resolve; and hope fades as our fragile frame succumbs to the failures of efforts pursued. And yet, because we belong to the God of hope, we live with confidence that healing is coming and we speak with conviction that, by the grace of God, we shall be made whole. Prayer is a spiritual resource to resist the forces of evil, however daunting; to reframe our perspectives in the face of doubt and fear; and to renew our resolve to confront the forces of empire that serve only to steal, kill and destroy. It is our prayer that this devotional will offer you some insights into claiming God’s best for your life and that you will be energised to take your stand for God. I commend this devotional to you, with my prayers and best wishes for a great year ahead in your walk with God and in your search for wholeness and fullness of life in Christ. Shalom!

After the dust had settled, Saddam Hussein, the then President of Iraq, announced to the world that Kuwait was now a province of Iraq … just like that! Ostensibly, Iraq invaded Kuwait, among other things, because of their claim that Kuwait was originally a part of Iraq, which was separated under British rule. Many believe, however, that Iraq’s decision to invade Kuwait was driven by its desire to take over Kuwait’s substantial deposits of crude oil. Unfortunately, stories like this are the stuff of which the fabric of human history is weaved. Take, for example, the story of King Ahab and Naboth, told in 1 Kings 21. As you read this story, you’ll notice that the request of Ahab was not unreasonable, but his expectation was unreasonable. Given the proximity of Naboth’s land to his, and that he was prepared to pay for it, one can understand King Ahab’s proposal. His expectation, however, was based on his power; as such he was unable to take no for an answer. He was unable to see the value of Naboth’s desire to protect his patrimony and secure the heritage of his family. As it turned out, Jezebel, his wife orchestrated a scheme to use power to manipulate and prey upon the weakness and vulnerability of Naboth. Naboth became the loser – he lost his life and his land was taken by force. Jezebel’s question, “Do you not govern Israel?” is the epitome of an attitude of lordless domination; the way empire works. The death of Naboth meant nothing to Ahab; he was ready to claim the land. However, God’s mission is about hospitality and generosity of spirit. When confronted with the request to arbitrate between two brothers on the matter of family inheritance, Jesus refused (Luke 12: 13-14). Instead he invited the complaining brother to consider what is essential to life – not the abundance of things (Luke 12: 15); not greed, hoarding for one’s private consumption (Luke 12: 16-20); but trust in God (Luke 12: 32), use of possessions to serve the needs of the poor and displaced (Luke 12: 33); and focus on God’s “unfailing treasure” – the imperishable values such as love, hospitality and a generous spirit (Luke 12: 33b-34). King Ahab was to learn that “in the (very) place where dogs licked up the blood of Naboth dogs will also lick up your (his) blood” (1 Kings 21: 19). The principle of life that outlasts our self-serving interest is to treat others with respect and positive regard in the very way we wish to be treated. Prayer: Let us pray for help to engage in just relationships, honest transactions and hospitable lifestyle. Rev. Dr. Collin Cowan General Secretary, Council for World Mission DAILY DEVOTIONS 2018 • 1 2 January Mission in the Context of Empire SCRIPTURE: Mark 6: 14-44; Jeremiah 31: 7-14 TOPIC: God’s Mission – A Place for All Empire protects the interests of the powerful - God’s mission provides a place for all As Ban Ki-moon, then Secretary-General of the United Nations, addressed the 68th Session of the General Assembly in September, 2013, he reminded his audience that, of the world’s estimated 1 billion people who live with some form of disability, many of them face exclusion by and from society.

  • Climate Migration and Kiribati: Discourse, Development and New Zealand’S Role in the Pacific
    Climate Migration and Kiribati: Discourse, Development and New Zealand’s Role in the Pacific New Zealand NGO, Government, and I-Kiribati Perspectives Olivia Sage Swain Eyles A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. December 2020 Abstract The effects of climate change are being felt globally, but especially by Pacific Island Countries (PICs) that face challenges of rising sea levels, salt-water inundation, and more extreme weather events. Conversation about climate change in this region has turned to adaptation methods, including the idea of climate change-induced migration. The discourse of ‘climate refugees’ has emerged, suggesting potential for large numbers of international migrants as PICs become uninhabitable due to climate change. As a low-lying atoll nation, the Republic of Kiribati has been placed at the forefront of this issue as an example of a state that may become uninhabitable in the future. However, notions of climate migration are complex and contested, raising a number of questions around the dominance of Western knowledge, power and discourses in climate change issues, as well as issues Justice and responsibility that arise from entire nations becoming uninhabitable. This thesis aims to explore the ongoing debate over climate change migration in the Pacific region, focusing on representations of Kiribati, the implications of these representations for the responses of Kiribati and New Zealand organisations to climate change, and what role New Zealand Government and Non- governmental Organisation (NGOs) have in these issues. This thesis uses a post-structural approach to complete a media discourse analysis of New Zealand and international news articles to uncover the dominant representations of Kiribati in relation to climate change migration and adaptation.

  • Kiribati Voluntary National Review and Kiribati Development Plan Mid-Term Review New-York, July 2018
    Kiribati Voluntary National Review and Kiribati Development Plan Mid-Term Review New-York, July 2018 Acknowledgments The Kiribati Voluntary National Review and Kiribati Development Plan Mid-Term Review was authored by the Government of Kiribati, as coordinated by the Director of the National Economic and Planning Office in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development. This document would not have been possible without the support of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for the Asia Pacific (UNESCAP), the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS), and the Secretariat for the Pacific Community (SPC) who offered both financial and technical support. Forward I am honoured to present this first Kiribati Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Voluntary National Review Report (VNR) and Kiribati Development Plan Mid-Term Review. The VNR has provided us with an opportunity to take stock of our current stage of development and assess where our future plans will take us. It is a chance for us to engage all the people of Kiribati in helping to shape our development story to the world. It is for this reason that we have made extensive efforts to engage with our community and service organisations, the private sector, religious bodies, development partners, and all levels of government. This report is truly a product of collaboration and partnership. Effective implementation through partnership is respected by Government. Government engages NGOs, CBOs, and the private sector in many of our national committees and taskforces to build ownership and dialogue with the community. International and regional partnerships are equally important, with Kiribati committed to a number of regional and international conventions such as the Istanbul Plan of Action, the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway, the Framework for Pacific Regionalism, and the UN’s Human Rights-based conventions such as CEDAW, the Pacific Gender Equality Declaration and more.

Page 2/249 Les chroniques Page 3/249 ENSLAVED : Frost Chronique réalisée par Iormungand Thrazar Premier album du groupe norvégien chz le label français Osmose Productions, ce "Frost" fait suite au début du groupe avec "Vikingligr Veldi". Il s'agit de mon album favori d'Enslaved suivi de près par "Eld", on ressent une envie et une virulence incroyables dans cette oeuvre. Enslaved pratique un black metal rageur et inspiré, globalement plus violent et ténébreux que sur "Eld". Il n'y a rien à jeter sur cet album, aucune piste de remplissage. On commence après une intro aux claviers avec un "Loke" ravageur et un "Fenris" magnifique avec son riff à la Satyricon et son break ultra mélodique. Enslaved impose sa patte dès 1994, avec la très bonne performance de Trym Torson à la batterie sur cet album, qui s'en ira rejoindre Emperor par la suite. "Svarte vidder" est un grand morceau doté d'une intro symphonique, le développement est excellent, 9 minutes de bonheur musical et auditif. "Yggdrasill" se pose en interlude de ce disque, un titre calme avec voix grave, guimbarde, choeurs et l'utilisation d'une basse fretless jouée par Eirik "Pytten", le producteur de l'album: un intemrède magnifique et judicieux car l'album gagne en aération. Le disque enchaîne sur un "Jotu249lod" destructeur et un Gylfaginning" accrocheur.

The opening chapter reviews previous approaches to the H.A. and is followed by a survey of Arator's interpretation and interpolation of baptismal material, showing both how those episodes in Acts which deal specifically with baptism are given extended exegetical attention, and how baptismal significance is frequently divined in passages which have no obvious baptismal connection.
