    1 Studies of Religion Environmental Ethics Unit, Christian NSW Catholic Sustainable Schools Project November 2015 Stage 6 Studies of Religion Environmental Ethics Unit, Christian Catholic Sustainable developed and supported by Schools Network NSW 2 Introduction To assist teachers undertaking the Environmental Ethics unit within the Stage 6 Studies of Religion. This Unit has been developed with assistance from the Office of Environment & Heritage (OEH), and the Association of the Studies of Religion (ASR). A small writing team was formed. Writing team: Catholic Sustainable Schools Network – Sue Martin (St Ignatius’ College, Riverview) & Anne Lanyon (Columban Mission Institute) New South Wales Office of Environment & Heritage – Mark Caddey Association of the Studies of Religion –Louise Zavone Catholic Mission - Beth Riolo Catholic Education Archdiocese of Canberra & Goulburn - Kim-Maree Goodwin Loreto College Normanhurst - Libby Parker Marist Sisters College Woolwich - Andrew Dumas Our Lady of Mercy College Parramatta - Natalie White St Patrick’s Campbelltown Campbelltown - Maria Boulatsakos Project Background This resource provides up-to-date material for students and teachers wanting to engage with the Environmental Ethics component of the Studies of Religion Course. The nature of Christian Environmental Ethics is evolving in the context of the signs of the times. With the publication by Pope Francis on 24th May, 2015 of the first Encyclical on the environment, “Laudato Si”, official Catholic Teaching on Environmental Ethics is taking a new direction. Catholic environmental teaching is moving from an anthropocentric position to a perspective of universal communion. As with Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestant variants are continuing to develop and provide guidance to their adherence in the forms of teachings and official documents.

  • Israel and the Occupied Territories 2015 Human Rights Report
    ISRAEL 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy. Although it has no constitution, the parliament, the unicameral 120-member Knesset, has enacted a series of “Basic Laws” that enumerate fundamental rights. Certain fundamental laws, orders, and regulations legally depend on the existence of a “state of emergency,” which has been in effect since 1948. Under the Basic Laws, the Knesset has the power to dissolve the government and mandate elections. The nationwide Knesset elections in March, considered free and fair, resulted in a coalition government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security services. (An annex to this report covers human rights in the occupied territories. This report deals with human rights in Israel and the Israeli- occupied Golan Heights.) During the year according to Israeli Security Agency (ISA, also known as Shabak) statistics, Palestinians committed 47 terror attacks (including stabbings, assaults, shootings, projectile and rocket attacks, and attacks by improvised explosive devices (IED) within the Green Line that led to the deaths of five Israelis and one Eritrean, and two stabbing terror attacks committed by Jewish Israelis within the Green Line and not including Jerusalem. According to the ISA, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other militant groups fired 22 rockets into Israel and in 11 other incidents either planted IEDs or carried out shooting or projectile attacks into Israel and the Golan Heights.

  • Inspiration from Israel, 2019 Shabbat Pinchas 5779 July 26, 2019 Rabbi Barry H
    Inspiration from Israel, 2019 Shabbat Pinchas 5779 July 26, 2019 Rabbi Barry H. Block Israel can be infuriating. In July alone, Israel’s Education Minister declared American intermarriage to be “like a second Holocaust;” he then went on to proclaim his support for conversion therapy, a cruel pseudo-psychology that purports to “cure” gays and lesbians of the same-sex attractions that animate their lives. Tonight, though, I would like to pause from criticism of the Jewish State and even of its often-despicable government. Like our own United States, Israel is more than its government and better than its worst prejudices. Like the United States, Israel offers tremendous cause for celebration, particularly when we’re prepared to examine the country in all of its complexity. As most of you know, I spend time in Israel every year. My days there are not filled with protest marches or government-bashing. Sure, issues arise, and the Israelis and Americans with whom I share my time there are not shy about confronting harsh realities. Still, every summer, more than upset or depressed about the current state of affairs, I come away inspired by the beauty, the accomplishments, and the motivation of the Land and people of Israel. One day of my studies at the Shalom Hartman Institute is devoted to an in- depth excursion. My group visited the Development Town of Yerucham in a remote part of the Negev. Development Towns were an invention of the early State, as it strove to find places for new immigrants to settle outside of Israel’s already-crowded cities.

    religions Editorial Catholicism and European Politics: Introducing Contemporary Dynamics Michael Daniel Driessen Department of Political Science and International Affairs, John Cabot University, 00165 Rome, Italy; [email protected] 1. Introduction Recent research on political Catholicism in Europe has sought to theorize the ways in which Catholic politics, including Catholic political parties, political ideals, and political entrepreneurs, have survived and navigated in a post-secular political environment. Many of these studies have articulated the complex ways in which Catholicism has adjusted and transformed in late modernity, as both an institution and a living tradition, in ways which have opened up unexpected avenues for its continuing influence on political practices and ideas, rather than disappearing from the political landscape altogether, as much Citation: Driessen, Michael Daniel. previous research on religion and modernization had expected.
