Don't Leave the Cake Unturned EDITORIAL The problem is that it looks so good, but only from one side. One of the current USA presidential candidates has trumped Don’t Leave Norman as his mentor. I reproduce here a quote from an article I read recently: The Cake Unturned “Christianity is a religion of losers.

To anyone I recall preaching on Hosea 7:8 almost 20 years ago. who does not win at life, it promises that whoever loses his life for Christ’s sake shall find it. At its center stands a truth that we are prone to forget. There are people who cannot be “Ephraim is a cake not turned.” made into winners, no matter how positive their thinking. They need something more paradoxical and cruciform.” (Matthew Schmitz, First Things, August 2016) f you have cooked or baked long enough, you would probably Ibe acquainted with the dreadful experience of turning out Due to this mixture in our hearts, we need to come before God food that looks cooked, only to discover that it is cooked only constantly in brokenness and humility.

BISHOP'S MESSAGE In this sense, the church’s mission of extending the Kingdom of God in the world (Isaiah 42:1-9; Matthew 5:3- 16) is broader than world evangelisation. Our mission must include leading people and people-groups to saving faith in Jesus Christ, and it must go beyond to restore a wayward and unjust world to the ways of the Creator-Redeemer God of the universe. Such a mission is truly tough, but God has been and is forming His Church to meet the challenge to the praise of His glory. There are three aspects of the robust mission that I want to briefly highlight. They are: 1. To proclaim the Gospel faithfully 2. To overcome hostility boldly 3. To shine God’s light winsomely Bishop Rennis with Dr J I Packer at Regent College in Vancouver 1.

Fotland This Master’s Thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the MA degree at MF Norwegian School of Theology, 2015 spring AVH5035: Master's Thesis (60 ECTS) Master in Religion, Society and Global Issues 41,655 words 1 DECLARATION This dissertation is my own work and is not the result of anything done in collaboration. It has not been previously presented to any other institution for academic award. I agree that this dissertation may be available for reference and photocopy at the discretion of MF Norwegian School of Theology 2 DEDICATION This work is dedicated to my daughters Secret Anyango and Glory Atieno, my son Emmanuel Ochieng, and to my wife Magdalene A. Nerima. 3 ABSTRACT Unity is a moral requirement in both religious and secular life. In a highly religious society, morals and values are much informed by the religious precepts. For traditional cultures, morality is by custom, and for secular cultures, morality is by reason, Moyo, quoted in Kim and Kim, (Kim and Kim, 2008, p. 66). Most African cultures today, moral issues are informed by both the religion they ascribe to, traditional culture which is still very strong and to some extend reason. The church has been accused of taking sides when a crisis arises, a time when unity is really needed. For example, during conflicts that are ethnic in nature, churches stand in solidarity with their ethnic side of affiliation.

    St. Patrick Episcopal Church 232 East Main Street Lebanon, Ohio 45036 I write this in a lovely retreat center in rural central Wisconsin. The Christine Center is rooted in Franciscan tradition, “cherishing the value of contemplation, hospitality, simplicity, transformation and care of the Earth.” It sits on about 150 acres of wooded land that is a sanctuary for both wildlife and people. Yesterday a doe walked up to the door of the little art studio I’ve been painting in and looked around before calmly walking away. That’s how safe the deer feel here. I too have enjoyed the safety of this place. I’ve discovered the words they print in their brochure are the practices they follow. “We create and nurture an intentionally welcoming and safe environment. We foster a climate of purposeful inclusion of all. We cherish the diversity of gender, age, race, ethnicity, national origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation, financial means, education, and political perspective.” Sunday Worship Services The instructions in the art studio, posted on the doorways and walls also tell why it is so safe. 8:00 a.m. & 10:30 a.m. “Never comment on someone’s painting…Never!

Kennedy Bishop of Honolulu As we begin our Centennial Celebration, we should contemplate with respect and appreciation all the achievements of the Bishops, Clergy and Laity who have gone before us. Our gratitude also goes to the National Church for its generous support and cooperation over the years. On this 100th Anniversary we thank God for the steadfast witness of the thousands of faithful followers of Our Lord who are now actively sharing in the Church’s program through all our parishes and missions. There are many fine landmarks, both spiritual and material, testifying to their devotion. But our sights must now point forward; new strategy must be developed, new surveys must be made, new vistas must be opened, new goals set, if we are to do the work God expects us to do to establish His Kingdom. Our days are filled with many problems. None of these can be solved without deep concern for the religious and moral issues involved. As Christians, we have a general responsibility in all areas of concern. Also, as Churchmen, we should not fail to see that the witness o f our Church is relevant for our day. As we face the future we must depend on our individual witness. In other ways we must work corporately through our congregations and our Diocese.
