Dear Friends, Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! I don’t think there is a region in the whole world that is as inflamed and agitated as our region: The Middle East. I am sure that you follow the news about Syria: the destruction, the loss of lives, and the displacement of the Syrian people. As this was going on, the film defaming the Prophet Mohammed was broadcasted in the US and this evoked a volcanic response here in Egypt, in Libya, in Tunisia, in Sudan, in Yemen and in other parts of the region including a suicide bomb in Afghanistan killing 13. The film is aw- ful and is an intentional insult and provocation. The response to the film was also out of pro- portion and led to the death of innocent people, like the US Ambassador in Libya.

  • Educational Strategy Selection of Religious Minorities in Modern Iran: the Case of the Jewish, Christian, and Baha’I Communities
    Educational Strategy Selection of Religious Minorities in Modern Iran: The Case of the Jewish, Christian, and Baha’i Communities Sina Mossayeb Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2010 © 2010 Sina Mossayeb All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Educational Strategy Selection of Religious Minorities in Modern Iran Sina Mossayeb Based on the concept of education as a universal right, this dissertation analyzes the impact of government repression on the access to and quality of educational opportunities of minority groups, and the strategies used by marginalized and discriminated groups in response to educational inequity under authoritarian regimes. Do minority groups accept, tolerate, resist, or reject the limitations imposed on them? Do they establish their own institutions and services, or leave the country in pursuit of educational opportunity? This dissertation describes and illustrates the situation of three groups: Jews, Christians, and Baha’is, living in modern Iran. I argue that group composition and characteristics, networks, and regime-group relations significantly shape the strategies developed, selected, and deployed by minority groups in meeting educational needs. Relational dynamics between the groups (and their internal communities) and the regime, and other transnational actors are critical motivating factors in the pursuit of educational opportunities. I draw on historical analysis and the mechanism-process approach to identify educational strategies and explain how they are selected, and argue that group features both affect educational strategy selection, and are affected by previous strategies. The relational dynamics of interactions, conditions, processes, and outcomes are considered as causal factors in educational strategy selection.

  • NANCY LAMBTON Ann Katharine Swynford Lambton 1912–2008
    NANCY LAMBTON Ann Katharine Swynford Lambton 1912–2008 ANN KATHARINE SWYNFORD LAMBTON was one of the few outstanding scholars of the Persian language and Persian history that Britain has produced since the subject developed within the wider academic discipline of oriental languages in the nineteenth century. Early in her career she established a reputation as the pre-eminent specialist in all matters Persian: language and grammar, history and political thought in the Islamic period, religion, current events and contemporary political analysis were all considered to lie within her expertise. For many both within and out- side the scholarly community she was the ultimate authority in all these specialisations. There have been few scholars who have so dominated their field for such a long period. For close on seven decades in an exceptionally long, active life she published her research with single-minded determina- tion, for a quarter of a century she held the senior chair in Persian in British universities, and throughout much of her adult life she was thought to be an informal advisor to politicians, diplomats, and oil company directors. Inevitably in a life that spanned some of the decisive events in Iran’s history from the Allied occupation and fall of Reza Shah in 1941, the Azarbaijan crisis in 1946, the coup d’état of 1953, the land reforms of the early 1960s, and the Islamic Revolution of 1979, in all of which she was alleged to have played some part, myths and legends rapidly accumulated about her. Admired by many for her scholarly achievements, demonised by others for her political involvement, fictionalised in the post-revolutionary Iranian press as the eminence grise of British Intelligence, credited with single- handedly breaking up a German espionage operation in the Second World War, and briefly portrayed in a recent English novel—James Buchan’sA Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy, XII, 235–273.

  • Fourth Trumpet from the Fourth Anglican Global South to South Encounter St
    Fourth Trumpet from the Fourth Anglican Global South to South Encounter St. Andrew’s Cathedral, Singapore, 19th – 23rd April 2010 1. The Fourth Anglican South to South Encounter took place in Singapore from April 19th through April 23rd, 2010. The theme for this encounter was: “The Gospel of Jesus Christ - Covenant for the People; Light for the Nations.” We marveled at the power of this Gospel as we met together from all corners of the globe united in our commitment to Jesus the Christ and the proclamation of His message of eternal assurance and transformation open to all people. We were renewed in our determination to assist each other in fulfilling the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations and to do all that Christ has commanded. 2. Grateful for the gracious guidance of the Holy Spirit a total of 130 delegates from 20 provinces in the Global South (Comprising Africa, West Indies, Asia and South America) gathered together. We represented the vast majority of the active membership of the Anglican Communion. We were also joined by a number of our partners in the Gospel from Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. The entire delegation from the Province of West Africa and invited participants from the UK and Ireland were unable to be present because of travel difficulties. 3. We were immensely grateful for the wonderful hospitality provided for us by Archbishop John Chew and the people of the Diocese of Singapore and, in fact, the entire Province of South East Asia. The ministry among us by the former Primate of South East Asia, the Most Rev’d Datuk Yong Ping Chung as Encounter Chaplain was also a source of great blessing.

  • Jesus, the Son of God: Biblical Meaning, Muslim Understanding, and Implications for Translation and Bible Literacy
    JESUS, THE SON OF GOD: BIBLICAL MEANING, MUSLIM UNDERSTANDING, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR TRANSLATION AND BIBLE LITERACY By Matthew Carlton 1 1 Introduction Christianity Today's (CT) February 2011 cover story2 brings to light the startling fact that certain Bible translators are removing Father-Son terminology from the Bible text for Muslim audiences when those terms refer to Jesus and God the Father. What is their rationale for this? These translators, who are part of the Muslim- idiom translation (MIT) movement, claim that "Son of God" and related terms communicate wrong meaning to Muslims, and that this wrong meaning causes many to avoid even looking at a Bible. Based on this premise, the solution they propose and are implement- ing is to remove these terms from the Bible text. How do they jus- tify this practice? They first treat all Father-Son terminology as merely metaphorical. Then they propose the use of certain substi- tute terms that they claim will acceptably communicate to Muslims the correct meaning of these "metaphors". After reading the CT article and some of the MIT movement’s writings, a person could easily be led to believe that the primary key to removing barriers to the gospel among Islamic peoples is to take references to Jesus as "Son" and to God as "Father" out of the translated Bible text and replace them with these substitute terms. Is this growing trend a !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Since 1983, Matthew Carlton has worked as a Bible translator and transla- tion/literacy consultant in six different countries of Africa and Asia. He is produc- ing Bible translation resources in several major languages and conducts translation production workshops for translation teams overseas.

  • August 2013 Newsletter
    August 2013 Newsletter The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem Peace to you in the Name of the Lord Greetings from Bishop Suheil Dawani Dear Friends, Greetings from the Holy City of Jerusalem! The latter part of August was busy meeting with the various school boards in preparation for the beginning of another school year. While there is a considerable amount of work involved to ensure that everything is ready to provide our students with a solid academic programme, these meetings have an element of excitement and satisfaction as we prepare to receive these young people and fulfill the sacred trust placed in us to educate them so they can lead happy, meaningful and productive lives. I extend to all the dedicated staff of our schools my prayers and best wishes for a fulfilling school year and to all our students a truly joyous year of learning and personal development. I am very grateful to the clergy of the Diocese for the important ministry they provide to our young people through the year, but also during the summer holidays. Many young people attended camps during the recent weeks and received important Christian formation in fun-filled ways. Helping Christian youth to continue to mature in their faith and to live out their baptism by taking their rightful place in church and in society is a truly precious gift to impart to them. Unfortunately, the summer has also included many challenging days. Egypt continues to experience social upheaval and many people have died in recent demonstrations. Egyptian Christians have been threatened and killed and many churches have been damaged.
