Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The two important temples at Munnesvaram, on the west coast of Sri Lanka, are Hindu and are run by Tamil priests. Their patronage is largely Sinhalese Buddhist. They are the context for an examination of the relations between Hinduism and Buddhism in modern Sri Lanka in a period of violent ethnic tension between Tamils and Sinhalese. The thesis falls in two parts. The first deals with the history of the temples in the colonial and post-colonial eras, the history of religious difference, and with a social analysis of the two groups of priests and of the worshippers. This establishes grounds for a consideration of current anthropological debates on hierarchy and on historicity.

  • Women Bishops in the Anglican Communion
    Women bishops in the Anglican Communion Religion Media Centre Collaboration House, 77-79 Charlotte Street, London W1T 4LP | [email protected] Charity registration number: 1169562 It is 30 years since the first woman was appointed a bishop in the Anglican Communion. How have they fared since? The Anglican Communion is the third-largest grouping of Christians in the world with about 85 million members. It is made up of 40 autonomous provinces, twelve of which have consecrated women as bishops. Several others have made provision for women to become bishops but have yet to elect or appoint any. The question of whether it is permissible for women to enter holy orders as deacons, priests and bishops has been fiercely contested within the Anglican Communion’s recent history. Deacons are the initial order of clergy, able to officiate at marriages and funerals but not to preside at Holy Communion. In churches that ordain women as priests the diaconate (office of deacon) is usually a stepping stone to priesthood. The role of a bishop is to be a “shepherd,” an authoritative teacher with pastoral oversight over a diocese. Most Anglican provinces choose their bishops by election. Because the Church of England is established in law, bishops are appointed by the Crown after consultation within the Church. The first woman to become a bishop in the Anglican Communion was Barbara Harris who was consecrated the suffragan Bishop of Massachusetts in the Episcopal Church in America in February 1989. A suffragan bishop serves as an assistant to a diocesan bishop. The Episcopal Church in America was also the first Anglican church to elect a woman, Katharine Jefferts Schori, as its presiding bishop (or primate) in 2006.

  • The Role of Corporate Governance Codes in Enhancing Accountability for Effective Disclosure in Indonesia
    THE ROLE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODES IN ENHANCING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR EFFECTIVE DISCLOSURE IN INDONESIA By Jeannie Connie Rotinsulu Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy College of Law and Justice Victoria University Melbourne Australia JULY 2016 Abstract Indonesia’s performance in implementing corporate governance based on formal law has been poor because of weaknesses in its formal legal system. This thesis examines possible alternative approaches to the regulation of disclosure to achieve a better standard of corporate governance including the Indonesian Good Corporate Governance Code. The study considers the regulatory space corporate governance codes can occupy as an alternative regulatory strategy in the Indonesian context. Specifically, it evaluates the ways in which they can improve accountability for disclosure and corporate governance and also strengthen formal law and regulation. Different sources of data from the literature and media data bases and the interviews are used to be triangulated. It first explores the ideas and models in the literatures reviewed on disclosure, voluntary self-regulatory codes, alternative regulatory theories, the relationship between formal and informal law concepts, and comparative law on legal transplants. It examines how Indonesia’s corporate governance codes accommodate these ideas, and in which areas their use may play a more significant role in strengthening formal law and regulation so that regulation becomes more effective, responsive, flexible, legitimate and transparent. It identifies relevant issues in political, social and business cultures which produced problems for formal law and regulation and the way in which the code as a form of alternative regulation may remedy such problems.
