    A NNUAL R EPORT 2003 Americas Society Americas Council of the Americas Council Dear Friends: I am delighted to report that the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society took unprecedented steps in 2003 to renew and reinvigorate our commitment to our mission and our members. Last August, Susan Segal was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. Susan had been a member of the Board of Directors for eight years when I charged her with the task of chairing a Strategic Planning Committee. The plan was enthusiastically endorsed by our Board. Thus, it made sense to appoint her to implement it. At a time of profound change in the Americas, Susan has the energy and the vision to assure that the organization continues to play a leading role in affecting the central concerns of the region. Since the latter half of 2003, we have taken significant steps to execute our new strategic plan. Our first priority was to assemble a first-class senior management team open to new ideas and committed to an efficiently run organization capable of top-tier execution. Under this team’s leadership, the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society have made significant strides in accomplishing our mission of being the preeminent U.S.-based not-for-profit organization solely committed to addressing current foreign policy, trade, economic, political, and cultural issues of the Western Hemisphere. We are very excited about our direction and remain steadfast in our desire to exercise significant influence on hemispheric policy on behalf of our members and in support of our core values, which include democracy, the rule of law, and free trade.

  • To Forgive Divine” • August 31, 2003 • #1007 1 by David O
    “To Err is Human; To Forgive Divine” • August 31, 2003 • #1007 1 by David O. Dykes • Part 6 in the series “No, That’s NOT in the Bible!” INTRODUCTION In the series entitled “No, that’s NOT in the Bible” we discover some of these pseudo-scriptures actually contradict the Bible. For instance, believing the adage “God helps those who help themselves” can hinder a person from seeking God’s help. The aphorism “God won’t put more on you than you can bear” can be dangerous because it can create confusion and guilt. Have you ever heard someone say, “The Bible says, ‘to err is human; to forgive, divine?’” No, that’s NOT in the Bible, but the statement is basically true. We are all sinners. It’s just part of our human nature. It is part of God’s divine nature to forgive, so when we forgive others, we are displaying a God-like quality. But because we are human we all err. Actually, the correct pronunciation of the word “err” rhymes with “sir.” So, we should say, “To urr is human; to forgive divine.” But if I happen to mispronounce it in this message, will you please act divinely and forgive me?” We all experience relationship problems in which we are hurt or offended, so we’d better learn how to forgive. Even people in the church don’t always get along. Mike and I have a great relationship based on mutual love and respect, but not every preacher and music director get along as well as we do.

  • Giving Truth in Love Eph
    Page !1 of !26 Truth & Love - CH 5 ONLY GIVING THE TRUTH IN LOVE TRUTH & LOVE Chapter 5 – Giving Truth In Love Eph. 4:15-16(NLT), “Instead we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of His body the church. He makes the whole body fit together perfectly.” “Love is the moral and intellectual peak, the ability and choice to love, to give value to someone. You can never love without the freedom of will. Freedom is indispensable to love. And God’s supreme goal for us is to love Him with all our hearts and love others. If truth is not undergirded in love it makes the possessor of that truth obnoxious and the truth repulsive.” - Dr. Ravi Zacharias GOD ACTUALLY SAW SOMETHING OF VALUE IN ME A young woman named Amy walked into Gateway Church with her lesbian partner, hand in hand, hoping to get a reaction, anticipating anger and judgmental glares. She and her partner received something much different! They came on a mission to shock people. Instead, they were the ones that were shocked by the love and friendship they received from everyone at the church. Amy continued to grow in her knowledge of the Scriptures, falling more and more in love with the Lord. The following year, God had another surprise for her. She went to a seminar called ‘To Be Told’ hosted at Gateway. As the pastor shared, she realized that her hatred toward men came from an abusive situation she experienced as a child.

  • Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution
    Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution Introduction In his poem, The Second Coming (1919), William Butler Yeats captured the moment we are now experiencing: Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. As we see the deterioration of the institutions created and fostered after the Second World War to create a climate in which peace and prosperity could flourish in Europe and beyond, it is important to understand the role played by diplomacy in securing the stability and strengthening the shared values of freedom and democracy that have marked this era for the nations of the world. It is most instructive to read the Inaugural Address of President John F. Kennedy, in which he encouraged Americans not only to do good things for their own country, but to do good things in the world. The creation of the Peace Corps is an example of the kind of spirit that put young American volunteers into some of the poorest nations in an effort to improve the standard of living for people around the globe. We knew we were leaders; we knew that we had many political and economic and social advantages. There was an impetus to share this wealth. Generosity, not greed, was the motivation of that generation. Of course, this did not begin with Kennedy. It was preceded by the Marshall Plan, one of the only times in history that the conqueror decided to rebuild the country of the vanquished foe.

  • A STUDY in the LIFE of JOSEPH. (Genesis 37-50)
    A STUDY IN THE LIFE OF JOSEPH. (Genesis 37-50) CONTENTS INTRODUCTION -------- LESSON 1 Make the Most of Each Day -------- LESSON 2 Here Comes Trouble -------- LESSON 3 Keep Looking Up -------- LESSON 4 Walking in Forgiveness -------- LESSON 5 Helping Others with Their Dreams -------- LESSON 6 Embrace Your Dream INTRODUCTION Most people dream while they sleep. I want to challenge you to wake up and dream. Wake up to a brand-new day and dream with your eyes wide open. Wake up and live each day to see your God-given purpose fulfilled each and every day. Choose to make the most of each day. You see, our lives are just a collection of single days, one right after the other. The sun rises, the sun sets. The success of our lives will be determined by how we handle each individual day. A lot of people only live to survive each day. Very few people live intentionally to truly succeed each day. Because of this, many people wind up at the end of their lives with no real accomplishment or no real value or meaning to their life. Psalm 90:10,12 says, “Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.12 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” This scripture was written by Moses 3,000 years ago at the end of Israel’s 40 years in the wilderness. Instead of traveling from Egypt directly into their promised land, they settled for the wilderness and an entire generation, including Moses, died without entering into God’s best.

    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Quotable New Orleans, Part 4 Below are a number of additional noteworthy quotes on America‘s truly unique city, my fourth installment. Musicians, writers, politicians and philosophers – they all had something to offer. Hope you enjoy. New Orleans is the only foreign city in the United States. - WALKER PERCY Noisy, bustling, gossiping, and a thousand leagues from the United States. - ALEXIS DE TOQUEVILLE, who toured the United States in 1831 A restaurant is a place where dollars are exchanged for food. Neither should be counterfeit. - JULES ALCIATORE I sing God's music because it makes me feel free. It gives me hope. With the blues, when you finish, you still have the blues. - MAHALIA JACKSON New Orleans is not in the grip of a neurosis of a denied past; it passes out memories generously like a great lord; it doesn't have to pursue ―the real thing.‖ - UMBERTO ECO, Travels in Hyperreality New Orleans is like the bad-kid island in ―Pinocchio.‖ - JONAH HILL People don't live in New Orleans because it is easy. They live here because they are incapable of living anywhere else in the just same way. - IAN McNULTY, A Season of Night: New Orleans Life After Katrina Everybody started calling my music rock and roll, but it wasn't anything but the same rhythm and blues I'd been playing down in New Orleans. - FATS DOMINO There is no other place on earth even remotely like New Orleans.
