But the Bible’s major Western Christianity is essentially a public one. ethical concerns are actually corporate, social ones: Bishops are the focal points for faith and ministry economic and social justice; the treatment of the in our church, and their cathedrals have historically poorest and most vulnerable; peacemaking at home been the places where their public ministry is lived and abroad.

  • Bush, Obama and a Faith-Based US Foreign Policy
    Bush, Obama and a faith-based US foreign policy LEE MARSDEN US foreign policy in the first decade of the twenty-first century has been dominated by religion in a way that would not have seemed possible for most of the second half of the twentieth. Al-Qaeda’s attack on the United States in September 2001, the subsequent US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the upsurge in Islamist militancy and the populist overthrow of despotic US allies in the Middle East all focus atten- tion on the importance of religious actors. For much of this period academic interest has centred on radical Islam and the attempts by western governments, and the United States in particular, to contain Islamism through embarking on the global ‘war on terror’ in its various manifestations, and supporting pro-western despots in the Middle East. While there has also been much interest in the emergence of elements of the Christian right as foreign policy actors,1 until recently insufficient attention has been paid to the increasing role played by religious organizations in the delivery of US foreign policy objectives. American faith-based Inter- national Relations (IR) scholars and political scientists have successfully agitated for an increased religious dimension to foreign policy, in particular in the areas of diplomacy and overseas assistance and development.2 While such an emphasis is designed to further US foreign policy interests, this article argues that such a policy can be counterproductive where these religious actors pursue sectarian rather than secular objectives. Using faith-based initiatives supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as a case-study, the article highlights the potential dangers of faith-based foreign policy approaches.

Orem Dr. | Houston, Texas 77085 Kirbyjon Caldwell, Eulogist Dr. Michael L. Bowie, Jr., Officiating A TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER Written by Wesley Dotson n behalf of my family, I’d like to thank everyone that is Ohere today and those who have sent their condolences. We have received so many messages of thoughts and prayers, and the outpouring of love for my Dad has been comforting and heartwarming during this difficult time. I am so incredibly proud of my Dad, who was a true servant of God. I’m amazed at the impact his ministry had on so many lives across the world and how he dedicated his life to helping others grow closer to God. Hearing all of your stories about what my Dad meant to you is something I’ll cherish greatly. To my Dad: You meant the world to me and always will. Those annual Thanksgiving trips to watch our Dallas Cowboys helped us bond in so many ways other than just football. It became my favorite tradition. I loved hanging out with you in the “J-Spot” and talking about life. I learned so much from you just from the example you set for Janelle and me. There was nothing like seeing the joy music brought to your life. Over the past few years, I couldn’t pick up the phone and call you without hearing you playing the piano in the background. Guess it’s my turn to finally get back on the keys, too.
