    Remembrance, Reflection, Reconciliation and Renewal - The Bodding Symposium 2015 End report by Tone Bleie 20 May 2016 Remembrance, Reflection, Reconciliation and Renewal - The Bodding Symposium 2015 END REPORT BY TONE B LEIE 20 MAY 2016 Symposium participants at the reception in Oslo City Hall Photo@Shilpi Hembrom Copyright@2016 by Tone Bleie ISBN 978-82-8244-158-2 (e-version) Frontcover: Johnny Kreutz Page 1 Remembrance, Reflection, Reconciliation and Renewal - The Bodding Symposium 2015 INTRODUCTION This conference report realizes a pledge the co-organizers1 of the Bodding Symposium 2015 made as part of our initial official conference announcement. We have endeavored to avoid producing a tedious end report that simply reiterate the proceedings over three momentous conference days. Instead, we have strived to design this report so that it illuminates foundational ideas of the Bodding Symposium 2015 and summarizes its practical suggestions for follow-up. Moreover, as author I attempt to convey the “heartbeat” of three special days in downtown Oslo, enlivened through citations from symposium papers, panels, and later post-conference feedback from several of the conference’s more than 80 participants. The four partner institutions2 to the Symposium have graciously read the draft report and backed its completion. The venue, the meticulously restored Professor Residence (Professorboligen) on the University of Oslo’s historic campus grounds, is situated a stone’s throw from the Museum of Cultural History (MCH). It is the stately Art Décor building in which the magnificent Santal Bodding Collection has been preserved, stored and displayed since it was dispatched by sea from British India in a number of consignments to Norway in the early twentieth century.

    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS Uppsala Studies in Social Ethics 51 Ville Päivänsalo Justice with Health Faith in Support of Progress across Contexts Uppsala 2020 Päivänsalo, Ville, 2020. Justice with Health: Faith in Support of Progress across Contexts. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis, Uppsala Studies in Social Ethics 49. 347 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-513-0971-2. Abstract This book combines a religiously non-confessional approach to justice with health to- gether with an analysis of the faith-based promotion of justice with health and focuses mainly on the time period beginning from the mid-1960s. Here “justice with health” means a particular reasonable conception of socio-political justice that includes health-related capabilities among its central components. The faith-based heritage in question is Protestant, especially Lutheran, Christianity. Drawing on some of the most prominent theories of justice from the past few decades, primarily those by John Rawls and Amartya Sen, the constructive part of the study defends a moderately structured account of reasonable justice identified through ten guidelines. Although these guidelines are first defended in terms of religiously non-confessional theories, it is argued that they could be properly supported by in- sights of faith as well. The guidelines—concerning the foundations, principles, and goals of justice—allow comparatively flexible variation across contexts. Yet they are intended to help achieve a firmer consensus in the promotion of health-related justice than the status quo among various responsible agencies usually indicates. A broad historical review of the Protestant promotion of social justice and health, from the Reformation era onwards, illuminates the importance of this faith-based heritage.

It is used for instruction of her students at the annual Vacation Bible College, 1999.

    Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 21:30 19 May 2016 South Asian Religions The religious landscape of South Asia is complex and fascinating. While existing literature tends to focus on the majority religions of Hinduism and Buddhism, much less attention is given to Jainism, Sikhism, Islam or Christianity. While not neglecting the majority traditions, this valuable resource also explores the important role which the minority traditions play in the religious life of the subcontinent, covering popular as well as elite expressions of religious faith. By examining the realities of religious life, and the ways in which the traditions are practiced on the ground, this book provides an illuminating introduction to Asian religions. Karen Pechilis is NEH Distinguished Professor of Humanities and Chair and Professor of Religion at Drew University, USA. Her books for Routledge include Interpreting Devotion: The Poetry and Legacy of a Female Bhakti Saint of India (2011). Selva J. Raj (1952–2008) was Chair and Stanley S. Kresge Professor of Religious Studies at Albion College, USA. He served as chair of the Conference on the Study of Religions of India and co-edited several books on South Asia.

  • KP Aleaz, "Gospel and Culture: Some Indian Reflections,"
    Gospel and Culture: Some Indian Reflections KP. ALEAZ* In this paper we present some of the findings of a commissioned study of the World Council of Churches on Gospel and Culture which we had the privilege to undertake. The Study is an elucidation of a double gospel emerging out of the Indian culture: on the one hand we have the. gospel of inter-religious interaction and the consequent composite culture of India and on the other, there is the gospel of God in Jesus arising out of the Indian hermeneutical context, which only mutually ratify one another. Culture denotes all the capabilities and habits acquired by human person as a member of a particular society, such as knowledge, belief, art, law, customs ek It is the whole way of life, material, intellectual and spiritual. It describes the way human beings think, feel, believe ·and behave. Culture is a comprehensive term and includes the following: (i) patterns and modes of external behaviour; (ii) the productive level of agriculture, industry, services and information, (iii) the social level of political economy or power ,. relations among human beings; and (iv) basic postures, values, beliefs, world views, which form the foundations of a culture and which find expression in art, music, literature, philosophy and religion. 1.

    Word & World Volume 28, Number 4 Fall 2008 Struggle for Truth and Justice: Nirmal Minz of Northern India JHAKMAK NEERAJ EKKA n 2007, when two Roman Catholic priests, Alex Ekka and Augustine Kerketta, asked how he would summarize his life of more than eighty years, Bishop Nir- mal Minz replied that his was a life marked by the constant struggle for truth and justice, particularly for the indigenous people of India.1 This essay is a story of that servant of God, for whom the gospel of Jesus Christ has been the sure foundation upon which to invest his life for the sake of truth and justice. EARLY LIFE As a young man of only thirteen, Nirmal Minz faced a serious crisis. His dear sister Monica, whom he loved much, suddenly passed away. Stung by this blow, his young and sensitive mind was driven to probe the destructive power of death. In his still-forming faith, Minz looked to the Bible, and he felt assured that he had found his answer in John 11:25, when Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. 1In 2007, Bishop Minz narrated his life history to Ekka and Kerketta, who translated, compiled, and edited this into a book in Hindi: My Autobiography: Struggle for Truth and Justice (Ranchi, India: Bishop Minz’s Family, 2007). As leader of the church in North India, Bishop Nirmal Minz has dedicated his life to the struggle for truth and justice, especially for the indigenous people of his region. For him, the dynamic power of the gospel of Jesus Christ has led to a new vision for society.
