  • 2 Telling the Truth 20Th
    TELLING THE TRUTH White Presbyterians and Race in the 20th Century SOUTHERN (PRESBYTERIAN) CONSERVATISM Southern Presbyterian conservatives—those who would eventually form the PCA—linked together anti-Communism, anti-integration, and anti-centralization, utilizing religious beliefs and language to bind these together into a coherent worldview. These three values animated modern political conservatism in the 1950s and 1960s; hence, the founders of the PCA were central to the rising political American conservative movement In this, they stood as bedrock for the new Religious Right and helped to shift the South to the Republican Party in the 1980s and beyond. For our purposes, the tragedy came as their commitment to racial separation trumped their commitment to the Gospel. DEFENDING THE SOUTHERN (SEGREGATED) WAY OF LIFE ❖ Barring African Americans from worship services ❖ After Brown v. Board in 1954, churches and church courts announced that they would maintain themselves on a segregated basis (Lucas, 122). ❖ During the 1960s kneel-ins, churches patrolled their doorways to prevent blacks from worshiping/ sitting intermixed with whites (Lucas, 196-7; Strong, “Holy Week”). ❖ In the 1969, during the Black Manifesto crisis, churches gave specific instructions on what to do in case a black person tried to enter. ❖ The presumption was that any group of blacks or mixed race group was there for “sociological” purposes and thus should not be admitted. DEFENDING THE SOUTHERN (SEGREGATED) WAY OF LIFE ❖ Misusing and twisting the Bible to support segregation ❖ Repeatedly from the 1950s through the early 1970s, southern Presbyterian conservatives attempt to craft “biblical” defenses of segregation (Lucas, 115-6; Richards, 55-57; Smith).

  • Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Update Friday, April 1, 2011 Overview
    Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Update Friday, April 1, 2011 Note: New content has been inserted in red, italicized, bold font. Overview A powerful 9.0-magnitude earthquake hit Japan on March 11 at 1446 local time (0546 GMT), unleashing massive tsunami waves that crashed into Japan’s northeastern coast of Honshu, the largest and main island of Japan, resulting in widespread damage and destruction. According to the Government of Japan (GoJ), as of Friday (April 1), 11,734 people are confirmed dead and 16,375 people are reported to be missing. (Kyodo, Reuters, April 1) There are no new figures for the number of injured, but the UN reported last week that 2,766 people 1 were injured. Casualty numbers are likely to increase as emergency teams continue to reach and assess affected areas. The earthquake sparked widespread tsunami warnings across the Pacific. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the shallow quake struck at a depth of six miles (10 km) (20 km deep according to Japan’s Meteorological Agency), around 80 miles (125 km) off the eastern coast of Japan, and 240 miles (380 km) northeast of Tokyo. Key Concerns: • There are more than 166,000 evacuees. • UN says priority needs remain: fuel, prefabricated housing, clothing and medicine. Request for international assistance Japan has asked for international help to deal with the disaster and has so far received offers of assistance from 134 countries and 33 international organizations. It has accepted relief items from 24 countries to date. According to OCHA, the GoJ says the need for further international assistance is limited and any support should be in accordance with the GoJ’s criteria.

  • The Church of God Mission
    In the Summer 2014 issue of Japan Harvest magazine, the official publication of the Japan Evangelical Missionary Association (JEMA), we began publishing profiles of our member missions. This has been an ongoing process, both to assemble profiles of existing members, and gather those of new members. As a result, this current booklet is not in alphabetical order, rather in the order in which profiles were published in our magazine. As you read, please note the publishing date on the bottom of each page, and realize that for some missions their goals and activities may have changed since that time. Although most of our member missions are included in this file, it is not complete. As of this date 2017 JEMA Plenary (February 18, 2017), we have 44 member missions.

  • Identitarian Movement
    Identitarian movement The identitarian movement (otherwise known as Identitarianism) is a European and North American[2][3][4][5] white nationalist[5][6][7] movement originating in France. The identitarians began as a youth movement deriving from the French Nouvelle Droite (New Right) Génération Identitaire and the anti-Zionist and National Bolshevik Unité Radicale. Although initially the youth wing of the anti- immigration and nativist Bloc Identitaire, it has taken on its own identity and is largely classified as a separate entity altogether.[8] The movement is a part of the counter-jihad movement,[9] with many in it believing in the white genocide conspiracy theory.[10][11] It also supports the concept of a "Europe of 100 flags".[12] The movement has also been described as being a part of the global alt-right.[13][14][15] Lambda, the symbol of the Identitarian movement; intended to commemorate the Battle of Thermopylae[1] Contents Geography In Europe In North America Links to violence and neo-Nazism References Further reading External links Geography In Europe The main Identitarian youth movement is Génération identitaire in France, a youth wing of the Bloc identitaire party. In Sweden, identitarianism has been promoted by a now inactive organisation Nordiska förbundet which initiated the online encyclopedia Metapedia.[16] It then mobilised a number of "independent activist groups" similar to their French counterparts, among them Reaktion Östergötland and Identitet Väst, who performed a number of political actions, marked by a certain
