  • IN the St. Luke's Gospel, Jesus' Life History Begins with a Proclama
    J/Orient/03 03.10.10 10:55 AM ページ 177 Peace Here and Now: Impulses for a New Peace Awareness Eugen Biser N the St. Luke’s Gospel, Jesus’ life history begins with a proclama- Ition of peace: The angels sing: “Peace is now on Earth,” during the birth of Christ. Upon his advent in Jerusalem, the enthusiastic assembly calls: “In heaven is peace, and glory in the heights.” The peace, which descended to Earth on Christmas, withdrew back to the place of peace- ful origin after the rejection of God’s son; one could also say evaporated to a utopia. Today’s situation looks exactly the same. After the emergence of lib- eralization, which sealed the East-West conflict and, with the fall of the Iron Curtain, which released millions into freedom, world peace seemed to come into reach as never before. After the European peoples, who delivered bloody religious, annexation, and extermination wars also made the determination to establish a mutual House of Europe, a citadel of peace arose exactly in the center of a region that was the scene of the worst wars, from which it could be expected that it would illuminate the whole conflict-torn world. However, this hope of peace of this so unhap- pily receding century suffered a serious setback through the American reaction to the terror attack of Sept. 11, from which it will only recover through the steadfast stance of the entire power of heart and mind. Most importantly, the contemplation of the question of what peace really is belongs to that.

  • The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response -- Part 1
    The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response -- Part 1 U.S. Bishops, 1983 Introduction 1. "The whole human race faces a moment of supreme crisis in its advance toward maturity." Thus the Second Vatican Council opened its treatment of modern warfare.[1] Since the council, the dynamic of the nuclear arms race has intensified. Apprehension about nuclear war is almost tangible and visible today. As Pope John Paul II said in his message to the United Nations concerning disarmament: "Currently, the fear and preoccupation of so many groups in various parts of the world reveals that people are more frightened about what would happen if irresponsible parties unleash some nuclear war."[2] 2. As bishops and pastors ministering in one of the major nuclear nations, we have encountered this terror in the minds and hearts of our people - indeed, we share it. We write this letter because we agree that the world is at a moment of crisis, the effects of which are evident in people's lives. It is not our intent to play on fears, however, but to speak words of hope and encouragement in time of fear. Faith does not insulate us from the challenges of life; rather, it intensifies our desire to help solve them precisely in light of the good news which has come to us in the person of Jesus, the Lord of history. From the resources of our faith, we wish to provide hope and strength to all who seek a world free of the nuclear threat. Hope sustains one's capacity to live with danger without being overwhelmed by it; hope is the will to struggle against obstacles even when they appear insuperable.

  • The Distinction of Peace: a Social Analysis of Peacebuilding Catherine Goetze the Distinction of Peace

Despite this variety, practitioners consider themselves members of a global profession. In this study, Cath- erine Goetze investigates the genesis of peacebuilding as a pro- fessional field of expertise since the 1960s, its increasing influ- ence, and the ways in which it reflects global power structures. Step- by- step, Goetze describes how the peacebuilding field came into being, how it defines who belongs to it and who does not, and what kind of group culture it has generated. Using an innovative and original methodology, she investigates the motivations of individuals who become peacebuilders, their professional trajectories and networks, and the “good peace- builder” as an ideal. For many, working in peacebuilding in various ways— as an aid worker on the ground, as a lawyer at the United Nations, or as an academic in a think tank—has become not merely a livelihood but also a form of participa- tion in world politics. As a field, peacebuilding has developed its techniques for incorporating and training new members, yet its internal politics also create the conditions of exclusion that often result in practical failures of the peacebuilding enterprise. By providing a critical account of the social mechanisms that make up the peacebuilding field, Goetze offers deep insights into the workings of Western domination and global inequalities.

  • We Hrd Dr Davis Tell Us of the Unique Nature of Matt's Gospel, but I Would
    12-14-75. Matt & Messiah. We come now to the 3d surlday in Advent and the 2d in our qr's series in the study of Matt. ~-ii4;.~ we hrd Dr Davis tell us of the unique nature of Matt's gospel, but I would like to make an introd+ic+jon ~ We have in Matt the most wmdely-read gos~pl in the earl Church, the acct which had the greatest infl in determining men's ideas of Xr. I'm sure you all :(now that the earliest Xr documents that were widely available were the ltrs of Paul explaining the meaning of the Xr event, and that it was another decade before the biogrs, the stories of the Er event itself became available. Mark's was first, and Matt used his gosppl as a primary sourse. Matt's gosnel itself is built like a medieval cathedral, and the author himself has been called the architect among the gospel writers. His work is like a massive building representing the work of a long period of time and many workers, but so well harmonized and unified and shaped that it gives the impression of a living whole. And within the building, so diverse were the people who felt the appeal of J, and so sharp the eye of the writer, that we find ma~y different kinds of personalities, all sorts and conditions of the human race--shepherds, magi from the east, centur• ions in the Roman army, fishermen, tax collectors, farmers, vinedressers, blind beggars, generaus women, scribes and Pharisees, priests & levites, young children and very old people.

  • My Childhood I Am a Young Somali Girl Who Face Hardest Moment in Life
    My Childhood I am a young Somali girl who face hardest moment in life. I am 18 years old. I was born in Somalia where honor was basic need in our everyday life. I am a simple person who hides a thousands feelings behind the happiness. My life in my country was so hard because of so many reasons. My parents make a decision to give me to someone when I was five years old. My mother, she didn't raise me up as childhood. My family was poor and live in the countryside. But the person I was given to was living in the city. Always life in the countryside is hard because people in countryside they don't stay one place like the city people. They move from place to place. They came to the cities once in a month for their normal shopping. Their work is to look after their goats, sheep, cows, camels and donkeys but they don't take wool from their sheep like others. Our houses are temporary - made of a mat of grasses so that we can take the mats when we are moving to an other place. We also use the camels to carry our family possessions. Donkeys are also a valuable animal in Somalai and we use them to carry water from the well or rivers when they are far from the living place. Sometimes we have to go far - some kilometres for water so we use the donkeys. The food we eat at the countryside is maize rice - always with milk.

  • Building a Culture of Peace for Present and Future Generations, Many Things Come Into Play
    BUILDING A CULTURE OF PEACE FOR THE PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS PEACE DAY ESSAYS, POEMS AND EXCERPTS ON WORLD PEACE AND SECURITY IN COMMEMORATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE AND THE INTERNATIONAL DECADE FOR A CULTURE OF PEACE AND NON-VIOLENCE FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD PRELUDE Culture of Peace: what is it? As defined by the United Nations, the Culture of Peace is a set of values, attitudes, modes of behaviour and ways of life that reject violence and prevent by tackling the root causes to solve problems through dialogue and negotiation among individuals, groups and nations (UN Resolutions A/RES/52/13: Culture of Peace and A/RES/53/243, Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace). For peace and non-violence to prevail, we need to: á Foster a culture of peace through education by revising the educational curricula to promote qualitative values, attitudes and behaviours of a culture of peace, including peaceful conflict-resolution, dialogue, consensus-building and active non-violence. Such an educational approach should also be geared to: á Promote sustainable economic and social development by reducing economic and social inequalities, by eradicating poverty and by assuring sustainable food security, social justice, durable solutions to debt problems, empowerment of women, special measures for groups with special needs, environmental sustainability…. á Protect respect for all human rights human rights and a culture of peace are complementary: whenever war and violence dominate, there is no possibility to ensure human rights; at the same time, without human rights, in all their dimensions, there can be no culture of peace….
