  • Christianity in Nagaland SASHILA JAMIR
    Word & World Volume 37, Number 4 Fall 2017 Christianity in Nagaland SASHILA JAMIR hile the North Americans are “still holding on to at least the language of WGod and a sense of spirituality,” the Naga people and their culture are im- bued with a deep sense of the reality of God.1 Where American Christianity has ex- perienced a decline in church membership fueled in part by cultural rejection of “labels, doctrines, and organizational forms of Christianity,” the Nagas are deeply spiritual and religious with strong support of organized ecclesiastical institutions.2 They gather together in their churches long before Sunday worship begins to make sure that they secure a seat in the inner space of the church (many sit outside the church). Almost all the local congregations are expanding and modifying the ar- chitecture of the church buildings. Many churches have recreated new spacious buildings with sophisticated technology and modern, trendy interiors. However, despite this quantitative growth in church membership and material prosperity, the Naga Church is not free from cultural and religious challenges. Naga Christianity exists in a complicated reality of challenging sociopolitical, cultural, and economic conditions. The church struggles to maintain her Christian identity in the midst of one of Asia’s oldest unresolved political conflicts. And yet it 1Josh de Keijzer, “Is there Christian faith after religion?

  • Position Statement Has Been Endorsed by Nearly 2,500 Churches and Other Nonprofit Organizations
    Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability 440 West Jubal Early Drive, Suite 100 ● Winchester, VA 22601 July 17, 2018 To: Members of Congress Re: Nonprofit Parking Tax The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed into law on December 22, 2017, contains a troubling provision that applies federal income tax to parking benefits provided by tax‐exempt organizations to their employees. Newly added Section 512(a)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code states, “Unrelated business taxable income of an organization shall be increased by any amount for which a deduction is not allowable…by reason of section 274 and which is paid or incurred by such organization for any…parking facility used in connection with qualified parking…The Secretary shall issue such…guidance as may be necessary…including regulations or other guidance providing for the appropriate allocation of depreciation and other costs with respect to facilities used for parking…” Tax practitioners who have evaluated Section 512(a)(7) generally believe that the result of this new provision is that tax‐exempt organizations that provide parking to their employees will be subject to unrelated business income tax on the cost of the parking provided. A nonprofit organization that simply allows its employees to park in a parking lot or garage that is part of the organization’s facilities will be subject to a tax on the cost of the parking provided. How the parking costs must be measured remains to be addressed in the “regulations or other guidance” to be issued by the IRS. To apply this new requirement, nonprofit employers and their accountants must have guidance addressing exceedingly complex questions of allocations of basis, depreciation, and rent payments among different structures and between employee and non‐employee users.

    [AJPS 8:1 (2005), pp. 67-94] CRITIQUE OF PENTECOSTAL MISSION BY A FRIENDLY EVANGELICAL Roger E. Hedlund 1. Introduction In the conclusion of his 1997 revision of his study of the Pentecostal-Charismatic movements, Vinson Synan states, “Christian affairs of the twenty-first century may be largely in the hands of surging Pentecostal churches in the Third World and a Roman Catholicism inspired and revivified by the charismatic renewal.” 1 Hollenweger likewise indicates that Pentecostalism today is centered outside the West in a growing Third World movement.2 Indeed Pentecostalism during the twentieth century has emerged from the status of a marginalized sect to become a major tradition of Christianity. With 193 million (19.3 crores) members in 1990, the Pentecostals were the largest Protestant group of churches in the world.3 In addition to these denominational Pentecostals, if one includes mainline Charismatic Protestants and Catholics, the total is more than 372 million (37 crores) which is 21.4 percent of the world’s Christians.4 Also in 1990, out of an estimated 4 million (40 lakh) full-time Christian workers, 1.1 million (11 lakh) were Pentecostal-Charismatics.5 “Fully 1 Vinson Synan, The Holiness-Pentecostal Tradition: Charismatic Movements in the Twentieth Century (Grand Rapids/Cambridge: Eerdmans, 1997), p. 298. 2 Walter J.

  • Museums and Source Communities
    MUSEUMS AND SOURCE COMMUNITIES The growth of collaboration between museums and source communities – the people from whom collections originate – is one of the most important developments in modern museum practice. This volume combines some of the most influential published research in this emerging field with newly commissioned essays on the issues, challenges and lessons involved. Focusing on museums in North America, the Pacific and the United Kingdom, the book highlights three areas which demonstrate the new developments most clearly: • The museum as field site or ‘contact zone’ – a place that source community members enter for purposes of consultation and collaboration. • Visual repatriation – the use of photography to return images of ancestors, historical knowledge and material heritage to source communities. • Exhibitions – case studies reveal the implications of cross-cultural and collaborative research for museums, and how such projects have challenged established attitudes and practices. As the first overview of this significant area, this collection will be essential reading for museum staff working with source communities, for community members involved with museum programmes, and for students and academics in museum studies and social anthropology. Laura Peers is Curator for the Americas Collections, Pitt Rivers Museum, Lecturer in the School of Anthropology, and Fellow, Linacre College, at the University of Oxford. She has published on First Nations cultural histories. Alison K. Brown is Research Manager (Human History) for Glasgow Museums and was formerly a researcher at the Pitt Rivers Museum and Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College, University of Oxford.
