Background Guide Iheaven iMUNC 2021 Background Guide iHeaven Chairs Josephine M Rogers Dov Alperin Crisis Director: Georgia Badonsky Saturday, April 10 | NYC iSchool Hi, I’m Josephine M. Rogers. I’m one of the co-chairs of this committee. I’m a Junior at the iSchool, and I have quite a bit of MUN experience as a delegate now. I have a little experience chairing (boy, that gavel is fun) and I’m excited to co-chair this committee that I certainly did write some of. In our committee, I’ll be the angelic chair of the Leadership Council Meeting. Thanks for choosing our weird, weird committee. Email: [email protected] Hi, I’m Dov Alperin (Demon), I’ll be representing the co-assigned chair of the leadership council meetings. Being a Junior, I am very lucky to say I have done this quite a few times now, on either side of the dias. Writing committees for iMUNC is always a treat, it lets us do what we think will be most fun, a philosophy that stands in stark contrast to most other conferences. I truly hope that you enjoy yourselves as much as we have imagining this (after) world for you! Email: [email protected] Hi, I’m Georgia Badonsky and I’m Crisis Director (God). Like Dov and Josephine, I am a Junior here at the iSchool. I started my MUN journey two years ago. I have come to love the club and am excited for the upcoming crisis. I will be open to bribes in the form of a check or cash and I do also accept PayPal, Apple Pay and Venmo. Don’t be afraid to be weird and have fun, the more outrageous the better. Don’t hold back because I certainly won't! Email: [email protected] Accepted Documents Crisis Note This is a direct action taken by you as a delegate. They should be written as notes to the chair and must have three core pieces: what you want to do, how you are going to achieve it or what means you will use, and why you are trying to do it. This will help your chairs effectively build crisis narratives for you and will make more of what you want to happen come true. Notes can be written directly to the chair, or in character as the person/delegation you are representing. Directive This is an action taken by the whole committee, either collective action by each delegate or using a power vested in the whole committee. They have sponsors (who wrote it), signatories (who wants to see it voted on—not necessarily supporting it), and operative clauses that specify what actions are being taken. Directives must be voted on, passed, and then will be implemented by the crisis team. Communiqué A communique is a communication sent by the whole committee to another person or group. They are a way of representing the interests of everyone to other groups you may be trying to work with or are bargaining with. Press Release A press release is an announcement from the committee to the public at large. Itʼs a useful way to generate public sentiment, and some countries may demand them in the name of transparency at certain points. Zoom Procedure Delegates please remember to update your zoom to the current version available before this conference. We will be using the yes/no buttons for voting procedure and the raise hand button for points, motions, and to call on delegates wishing to speak. We will also be using breakout rooms for unmods, which means we will rely on the fact that everyone will be able to put themselves into the rooms they wish to be in. Background information The afterlife did not start out privately managed, but over time more and more high ranking officials left for private consultancies until the lines between public and private blurred. What was left after the restructuring is known as Heaven and Hell Developments, H&H for short. A highly synergistic co-op working environment for Angels and Demons alike, working together in one common goal, the administration of life and the afterlife. Known for their nontraditional leadership style (regular meetings turned out to be too torturous even for demons) H&H developments have kept things running smoothly, and with zero problems ever since its inception. H&H developments has a wide range of departments dealing with a myriad of issues including mundane things like decisions on human lifespan, or miracles, to more important things like the administration of the American clothing and accessories retailer Banana Republic. Every few hundred years or so H&H having a quick (no longer than 25 year long) meeting becomes unavoidable. The leadership council meeting consists of high ranking H&H officials coming together to discuss all manners of topics relevant to the next few hundred years: setting budgets, personnel decisions, policy debate, and addressing the extremely rare “problem”. While terrestrial pop culture would have you believe that Angels and Demons share a great deal of animosity in their daily lives (as much as the concept of a day exists for them), nothing could be further from the truth. Sure, everyone is rooting for their own team (what else could be expected) but there is a great deal of professional respect for the others' work. Everyone, Angels and Demons alike, has absolute faith in the system and as such respects the placement of souls and all that happens with it. While the terrestrial beings didn’t get the social dynamics of afterlife administration right they did get pretty close on other things. For example what people might confuse as a push towards a right decision from a “Guardian Angel” or that they “heard the devil” whispering in their ear, was likely an action from the Department of Influence. And when people confused improvements in their sick relatives for miracles, well sometimes they were actually right. That was the Department of Miracles at work. As everyone knows, hopes and dreams make the world go round (allocated in the budget for the upkeep of naturally occurring events). Terrestrials in their pre-afterlife lives thrive on hopes and dreams. In fact, the amount of hopes and dreams in circulation in any given year is directly proportional to the number of “good things” that happen that year according to research conducted by our economists. At the beginning of every terrestrial year (around three and a half seconds before the ball drops in New York) a certain number of hopes and dreams are allocated to Earth from the H&H vault. No one knows where the hopes and dreams from the vault come from, and asking is strictly forbidden. A steady trickle of hopes and dreams are distributed at a constant rate by regional managers throughout the year. Hopes and dreams serve a simultaneous, nearly as important task in providing the unit of currency for the afterlife to be used by Angels and Demons. Much like economic models found on Earth, a Angel or Demon with more hopes and dreams has access to the finer things in (after)life: bigger houses, nicer clothes, cooler wings, etc. Angels and demons are awarded a salary based on the “prestige” and importance of their department. For example, at the top of the compensation ladder the Celestial Lord of Banana Republic is obviously the highest paid, where an earner at the lowest levels might be found in the Department of Observation. Current situation (FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY) INTERNAL EMAIL ONLY FOR INTENDED RECIPIENTS TO: [email protected] SUBJECT: Sensitive topic of discussion It probably bears no need repeating but the consequences of leaking this email are being put to the Eternal Box. I’m sure the case of Kareniel from Soul Relations is fresh enough in our minds to remind us why being put in the Eternal Box would be a bad and unpleasant thing. H&H developments is known for its perfectly clean record when it comes to the management of our afterlife, this reputation is one we need to protect. As such you will understand the sensitive nature of this topic. After a careful but routine review of last centuries accounting records, some discrepancies have been noted by an outside firm. Please be clear that the word I am going to use is based on my own assessment of the report and does not necessarily reflect the views of management on a whole. We are dealing with what looks like: Embezzlement. Let it be clear that we do not take this charge lightly and it will be the primary discussion at next week's meeting. I am not too blinded with optimism to believe that none of you are involved in this heinous act, if you are in fact involved I would be terrified right now. You will be discovered, our reputation will be intact, and the situation will be handled. Any early indications as to where the money is being skimmed from are preliminary and as such will not be shared. More details will be forthcoming at the beginning of our meeting. Understand that we will protect the reputation of this company, and the integrity of our afterlife by any means necessary. An email following up with our goals and tasks for this meeting will be forthcoming. -God The content of this email is confidential and intended for the recipient specified in the message only.

    Five Times Daily: The Dynamics of Prayer Worship Among Muslim Immigrants in St. John's, NL By Scott Royle A thesis submitted to the Department of Religious Studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland in partial fulfillment for the degree of Masters of Arts in Religious Studies March 2016 Abstract This thesis explores the ritual of prayer among Muslim immigrants in the city of St. John's, NL. Immigration across national, cultural, religious, and ethnic borders is a moment in an individual's life marked by significant change. My premise is that in such contexts the relatively conservative nature of religious ritual can supply much-needed continuity, comfort, and consolation for individuals living- through the immigrant experience. As well, ritual forms are often put under stress when transferred to a considerably different place and cultural context, where “facts on the ground” may be obstacles to traditional and familiar ritual forms. Changes to the understanding or practice of ritual are common in new cultural and geographic situations, and ritual itself often becomes not merely a means of social identification and cohesion, but a practical tool in processing change - in the context of immigration, in learning to live in a new community. St. John's is a lively and historic city and while Muslim immigrants may be a small group within it they nevertheless contribute to the city's energy and atmosphere. This thesis endeavours to better understand the life stories of ten of these newcomers to St. John's, focusing on their religious backgrounds and lives. In particular, this thesis seeks to better understand the place of prayer in the immigrant experience.

    August 8, 2019 – The Invitation Topic: 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting for the UofN Join YWAMers around the globe in praying and hearing from God. He is inviting you! From left to right: YWAM Lausanne; University of the Nations graduation. Photo credits: YWAM Lausanne, Emily Ranquist This year, YWAM is celebrating 50 years of training. It all began with a small group of young adults studying evangelism in Lausanne, Switzerland. This year YWAM has set aside time to remember, to pray, and to look to the future of YWAM’s training, which has now grown into a global university called the University of the Nations. Please join us on August 8, for YWAM’s global prayer day, called The Invitation, as we pray for YWAM’s training. This day is also the kickoff for 21 days of prayer and fasting for the University of the Nations from August 8 – August 28. This will be a time as a family of ministries where we seek God together, wait on Him and pray what He has shown us. We believe the Lord is leading us in a time of transition and a time of going deeper in Him for His purposes for the U of N. We believe your prayer will provide a protection and preparation for the Holy Spirit to lead us afresh into this phase of growth and multiplication. Please find the simple prayer guide to help give daily prayer focus at this link: (http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/0/c/4/0c41bad60d287fca/21_Days_of_Prayer_and_Fasting_2019.pdf?c_i d=47740064&cs_id=47740064&expiration=1563889257&hwt=8207060723128ac0fe396e85a5edaaa 4) We encourage your family, ministries and teams to enter into this time, to give up some type of normal indulgence such as food or media and to seek God together.

  • MUN BRIEFING PAPER Faith State = Face Palm?
    MUN BRIEFING PAPER Faith State = Face Palm? Hi, I’m Andrew Ratter and I will be one of your Secretaries-General and Chair of the Security Council at the upcoming MUN conference. I’ve been doing MUN for six years, and have visited Russia and Ireland with the school’s MUN group. I hope everyone is looking forward to the conference, and if you aren’t, well, I hope we’ll prove you wrong, and we’ll try to show you that during the course of the weekend. The GA Debate for our Conference this year is Faith State = Face Palm?. Please make sure your Delegation comes having considered the Briefing Paper below – and preferably with a Resolution already written, especially if you want to be in the running for a Delegation Award at the end of the Conference. Although the influence of faith in Western life is declining, that pattern is not mirrored across the globe. Many modern states, especially in the Middle East, have seen a reverse of this pattern, with increased participation in religious activities, and many modern states, even Western liberal democracies, maintain religiously-inspired laws. Religiously-inspired laws remain in force in nearly every nation on Earth to a greater or lesser degree. Some are totalitarian in nature – Iran, for instance, has the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as its Supreme Leader, and all laws must pass through an Islamic “Guardian Council” – whilst others are either relics or traditions – the Monarch of the UK is also head of the Church of England, and in Ireland the law guarantees a “special position” for the Catholic Church, and the constitution says of God: “The state…shall hold his name in reverence and respect and honour religion.” Obviously, these examples operate at different ends of a spectrum.

  • 2014 Baylor University Model United Nations High School Conference Delegate Guide
    2014 Baylor University Model United Nations High School Conference Delegate Guide Copyright 2014 All rights reserved No part of this guide should be reproduced without the express permission of Baylor Model United Nations 1 Distinguished Delegates and Advisors, Welcome to the 2014 Baylor Model United Nations Conference! Since 1994 Baylor has fostered an academically rigorous environment in which delegates are given the opportunity to improve their speaking, writing, negotiating, conflict resolution and networking skills. Students are placed in a learning environment where they will formulate resolutions to resolve difficult international problems. This experience will not only prepare delegates for future MUN conferences, but will also prepare them for their future in college and the professional world. The topics discussed at this year’s conference have been chosen carefully by the Baylor MUN Secretariat to provide exposure to a broad range of pressing issues before the United Nations today. It is my hope that each student will come thoroughly prepared and ready to generate deep and meaningful discussion. Delegates should learn both about the issues at hand, generally, and about their nation’s position on the issue, specifically. Not all nations hold the same views when it comes to such delicate issues; however, these diverse opinions help the United Nations to form a more comprehensive approach to resolving world problems. All delegates should come prepared to collaborate and negotiate with their fellow delegates. To facilitate discussion, each delegate should know and understand the rules and procedures of this conference. The Baylor Model United Nations Conference staff hopes that this experience is a positive one for each delegate.

Thispaper aims tobe acontributionto thedebate. Its mainarguments are that: (a) thepostmodern condition stimulates a turningto religion under certain circumstances; (b)secularisation continues in much of theindustrialised West but not in many partsof the Third World; (c) inthe Third World, secular political ideologiesÐ such as socialismand liberaldemocracyÐ are notnecessarily regarded as themost useful for the pursuanceof group goals; instead, religion, perhaps allied with nationalism, ethnicityor communalism, often functions as amobilisingoppositional ideology.

  • Fundamentalism: Study of Islamic History Djamiatul Islamiyah IAIN
    ISLAH: Journal of Islamic Literature and History Vol. 1, No. 2, December 2020: p. 95-110 DOI: 10.18326/islah.v1.i2.95-110 ISSN : 2723-407X Website: https://e-journal.iainsalatiga.ac.id/index.php/islah Fundamentalism: Study of Islamic History Djamiatul Islamiyah IAIN Salatiga [email protected] Submission Track: Received: 20-09-2020 Final Revision: 18-11-2020 Available Online: 01-12-2020 Abstract This paper is a literary study by analyzing various thoughts from various readings. The concern of this study is about fundamentalism in the study of Islamic history. The discussion material includes; contextualization, history, and various thoughts in response to fundamentalism. Regarding contextualization, a discussion arises whether fundamentalism exists as a product, as an agent, or both. If it is related to social changes in Islamic society in particular, is Islamic fundamentalism more of a religion matters? Some refer to the events of the Iranian revolution in 1979, to the 18th century Wahhabi movement, some others point to the Al-Mihnah policy by the Mu'tazilah during the reign of the caliph Al-Ma'mun in the 9th century. There are even those who say that the genealogy of fundamentalism has existed since the beginning of Islamic history, namely the emergence of the Khawarij which is seen as having the same qualifications as contemporary fundamentalism. Responses to fundamentalists have been written in various ways, such as the assumption about the hegemonic nature of Western civilization which is said to be an obstacle to the accommodation of the basics of mutual equality, as well as an attitude of mutual respect and recognition.
