This was the 20th gathering of the World Methodist family since the first meeting of the Methodist Ecumenical Council in London, England in 1881. The World Methodist Council met for three days prior to the World Methodist Conference. The Council adopted a new Constitution and By-Laws to guide its work going forward, and welcomed three new member Churches of the Council: The Methodist Church of Gambia, The Methodist Church of Nepal, and the Methodist Church of Tanzania. The Council celebrated the work of the Ecumenics and Dialogue Committee and received reports of three Dialogues: The Methodist/Salvation Army, The Methodist/Anglican (AMICUM), and the Methodist/Roman Catholic (MERCIC). The Council acknowledged Dr. Geoffrey Wainwright with great appreciation for his work with the Catholic Dialogue for more than twenty-five years. The Council elected Bishop Ivan Abrahams, presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church of Southern as its next General Secretary to follow Dr. George Freeman who will be retiring at the end of the year. Dr. Freeman was thanked by the Council for his 10 years service as General Secretary. Bishop Heinrich Bolleter, Geneva Secretary of the Council, announced his plans to step down from his position in January, 2012. The Council expressed appreciation to Bishop Bolleter for his work with the ecumenical aspects of the Council’s life and work. Bishop Paulo Lockmann, Methodist Church of Brazil, was elected as the next President of the Council. Bishop Lockmann follows Dr. John Barrett, who served the current 2007-2011 quinquennium as Council President with great distinction. A Steering Committee was elected to annually to guide and direct the Council’s work. The 20th World Methodist Conference was held under the leadership of Dr. George Mulrain, President of the Methodist Church of the Caribbean and the Americas, who served as the Chairperson of the Program Committee. The Conference theme was Jesus Christ – for the Healing of the Nations. This Book of Proceedings contains the text of the addresses from Dr. Joy Moore, Dr. Martyn Atkins, Dr. Mvume Dandala, Dr. Claudio Betti and Archbishop Elias Chacour. The Conference Worship was under the leadership of Dr. Swee Hong Lim, Chairperson of the Council’s Worship and Liturgy Committee. African music was presented throughout the Conference and contributed significantly to the atmosphere, bringing energy and movement to everyone present! The Local Host Committee from Durban, led by Ms. Nomabelu Dandala and Rev. Graham Goodwin gave great leadership to the many details needing attention for a successful event. It is always a good sign when participants leave an event asking where and when the next one will take place in 2016! Such was the case as Conference delegates and Council members departed from Durban. It is an incredible experience when representatives from the Methodist/Wesleyan family from around the world gather in one place. Seeing the face of the Church from so many different places, some of whom are struggling as minority Churches in unfriendly environments, is an opportunity for prayer, the sharing of resources, holding one another accountable, and speaking as one voice, the voice of the Methodist/Wesleyan family around the world. We share together in the “one body and one Spirit, just as we were called to the one hope when we were called, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4: 5-6) George H.

    SEED Ensemble & Guests: Celebrating the Music of Pharoah Sanders Live

    SEED Ensemble & guests: celebrating the music of Pharoah Sanders Live from the Barbican Start time: 8pm Approximate running time: 60 minutes, no interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change. This performance is subject to government guidelines. Arwa Haider examines SEED Ensemble’s influences and musical style. When London band SEED Ensemble emerged around four years ago, they were hailed as proof of thrilling new revolutions in the UK music scene, and among its jazz musicians – crucially repping its creative fluidity, and linking generations of inspiration across music and other art forms with 21st century youth culture. The talented instrumentalists in SEED Ensemble simultaneously play their parts in a range of other contemporary acts, and are led by composer, arranger and alto saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi, also a key figure in the outfits Kokoroko and Nerija. The combination of these elements and visions yields a sound that is expansive, musically adventurous, and excitingly immediate. They earned a Mercury Prize nomination for their brilliant 2019 debut album Driftglass, released on the seminal Jazz re:freshed label, and taking its name from a novel by the Black American sci-fi novelist and queer theorist Samuel R Delaney. Its tracks are enriched with personal experience – in particular, pan-African and Caribbean roots – political references and pop cultural hooks, creating an exploration of the undeniable issues in modern British society, as well as a spirit-soaring celebration of Black British experience. SEED Ensemble offer a lucid heads-up, that jazz is essentially ‘a community genre for everyone’ (as Kinoshi remarked in a Jazzwise interview), and that this latest explosion is deep-rooted, including the disparity of Black voices, and the presence of strong female leaders and collaborators.

  • Mission History and Partners Recommended Reading

    Mission History and Partners Recommended Reading

    Global Ministries—UCC & Disciples Middle East and Europe Mission History and Partners Recommended Reading Christianity: A History in the Middle East, edited by Rev. Habib Badr—This large tome is a collection of articles about the history of Christianity and churches of the countries of the Middle East. Comprehensive and thorough, this book was undertaken by the Middle East Council of Churches and was first available in Arabic. This translation will be of interest to any student of Middle Eastern Christianity. The Arab Christian: A History in the Middle East , by Kenneth Cragg—This book was published in the 1990’s but is indispensible in gaining an historical and contemporary perspective on Arab Christianity. It is a thoroughly researched book, and is not light reading! Cragg lived and served in the Middle East; he is and Anglican bishop. He has studies and written about Christian- Muslim relations extensively, and knows the Christian community well. He discusses history, sociology, the arts, and Christian- Muslim relations in this book. In some places, he over-simplifies my referring to an “Arab mind” or a “Muslim mind,” an approach which is rebuked by Edward Said in Orientalism , but Cragg’s study is quite valuable nonetheless. Jesus Wars , by Philip Jenkins—This book will offer much insight into the Orthodox traditions as it explores theological and Christological debates of the early church. Focusing on the ecumenical councils of the fourth century, the reader will have a better understanding of the movements within, and resultant splits of, the church. Not limited to theological debate, these divisions had to do with political and personal power as well.

    Church, Place and Organization: the Development of the New

    238 CHURCH, PLACE AND ORGANIZATION The Development of the New Connexion General Baptists in Lincolnshire, 1770-18911 The history and developm~nt of the New Connexion of· the General Baptists represented a particular response to the challenges which the Evangelical Revival brought to the old dissenting churches. Any analysis of this response has to be aware of three key elements in the life of the Connexion which were a formative part in the way it evolved: the role of the gathered church, the context of the place within which each church worked and the structures which the organization of the Connexion provided. None of them was unique to it, nor did any of them, either individually, or with another, exercise a predominant influence on it, but together they contributed to the definition of a framework of belief, practice and organization which shaped its distinctive development. As such they provide a means of approaching its history. At the heart of the New Connexion lay the gathered churches. In the words of Adam Taylor, writing in the early part of the nineteenth century, they constituted societies 'of faithful men, voluntarily associated to support the interests of religion and enjoy its privilege, according to their own views of these sacred subjects'. 2 These churches worked within the context of the places where they had been established, and this paper is concerned with the development of the New Connexion among the General Baptist churches of Lincolnshire. Moreover, these Lincolnshire churches played a formative role in the establishment of the New Connexion, so that their history points up the partiCUlar character of the relationship between churches and the concept of a connexion as it evolved within the General Baptist community.

HIV stigma exists in community and social institutions including health institution. Most student nurses who enter into health- training institutions are members of the society and might exhibit stigma towards HIV-infected persons which could be due to poor knowledge about HIV. This study investigated the HIV stigma mechanism of student nurses as well as their knowledge about HIV across a state in Southwestern Nigeria.

I learned so much from this book. Fantasy written in page-turner thriller style. Baker's own efforts toward Holy Land peace makes his foreword all the more influential as well as informative for the reader. Who is the fighter for liberty? Thanks for emphasising the importance of a balanced stand against violence from all sides and thanks for reigniting a tiny glimmer of hope for peace when people who follow Jesus aim to be spokespeople for reconciliation. Christians have lived in Palestine since the earliest days of the Jesus movement. But early in , their idyllic lifestyle was swept away as tens of thousands of Palestinians were killed and nearly one million forced into refugee camps. Showing About Elias Chacour. Anonymous User It means we conquer by stooping, by serving with love and kindness, even if it means personal danger or financial hardship. I know you know. We have reduced the kingdom of God to private piety; the victory of the cross to comfort for the conscience; Easter itself to a happy, escapist ending after a sad, dark tale. I learned a lot about the Palestinian experience post-WWII, beginning with the arrival of the Zionists and the takeover of land and village.
