Compiled by Keith Tudor Dated papers and sermons Undated sermons Undated papers Editor and contributors Foreword I S It is with great pleasure — and, of course, considerable sadness — that I write this foreword for this book about Evan. I think I knew Evan better than anyone else in the whole world. I first knew of Evan after I moved to Christchurch at the end of 1950. Fortunately for me, my father decided to buy a house in Sumner, where Evan’s family lived. Evan told me later that he was first attracted to me because of my white ankle socks and my brown legs! He first asked me to go out with him when I was 17. Fortunately for me, he never had another girlfriend, so I was never overtaken! I am very appreciative of my 60 years with Evan and, overall, we had a very good life together. He was my best friend. I am glad that this book has been created. It has been fun to work with Keith, often ending our work with a conversation over a glass of red wine. Together we located Evan’s writings out of boxes and folders from the clutter of Evan’s life — at his funeral I accurately described him as a “man of clutter”! As editor of this book, Keith deserves the credit and joy this completed project deserves. To Keith, I say, well done indeed and thanks. Evan would want this book to truly reflect the person he was, and I think it does that well. Born in 1934 he did not have an easy physical life, beginning with painful ears as a toddler, so he knew how challenging everyday living can be for people generally. From his early days, initially assisted by his dad, he actively integrated his body and mind in a way that prevented him from becoming negative or bitter. He deeply loved his life, was open to new ideas and willing to change the course of his own development. In my view he matured well as he became older: as a serious, young, newly ordained clergyman, he tended to have a conservative outlook on most things. Evan and Isabelle Sherrard. Wedding Day, 1959 I think he found his place in life working in psychotherapy and in adult education. He was an effective educator with adult students, especially those who were keen to learn. The same would be true of his therapy work, I think. He certainly listened to me when I needed to talk, sometimes for a long time, and he was often a wise guide on those occasions. I hope he found me the same for him. For our two adult children and their families and certainly for me, Evan’s death has left a large hole, but in our own individual ways, each of us appreciates having had Evan in our lives.

  • 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, XINJIANG, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary Reports on Hong Kong, Macau, Tibet, and Xinjiang are appended at the end of this report. The constitution of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), which cites the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), states that citizens “enjoy freedom of religious belief” but limits protections for religious practice to “normal religious activities” without defining “normal.” CCP members and members of the armed forces are required to be atheists and are forbidden from engaging in religious practices. National law prohibits organizations or individuals from interfering with the state educational system for minors younger than the age of 18, effectively barring them from participating in most religious activities or receiving religious education. Some provinces have additional laws on minors’ participation in religious activities. The government continued to assert control over religion and restrict the activities and personal freedom of religious adherents that it perceived as threatening state or CCP interests, according to religious groups, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international media reports. The government recognizes five official religions: Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism. Only religious groups belonging to one of the five state-sanctioned “patriotic religious associations” representing these religions are permitted to register with the government and officially permitted to hold worship services. There continued to be reports of deaths in custody and that the government tortured, physically abused, arrested, detained, sentenced to prison, subjected to forced indoctrination in CCP ideology, or harassed adherents of both registered and unregistered religious groups for activities related to their religious beliefs and practices.

  • 2000 Meeting -- a Rich and Successful Meeting
    2000 Meeting -- A rich and successful meeting. Our October 2000 joint meeting with the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion in Houston was the first of our second half-century. A rich and successful meeting it was, too! Paula Nesbitt deserves our gratitude for her excellent work as Program Chairperson, in collaboration with her SSSR counterpart (and retiring RRA Board member) Peter Beyer. The theme of Gender, Religious Organization and Practice was reflected in a large proportion of RRA's sessions. Coupled with SSSR's theme dealing with transnationalism and twenty-first century challenges, the program offered a wide diversity of specific topics. Saturday night's BBQ banquet followed by Zydeco music contributed in a special way to the enhancement and celebration of communitas. Ed Lehman's presidential address, entitled Clergywomen's World: Musings of a Fox, and reflecting his extensive research of twenty years on the distinctive experiences and challenges of women clergy, was the RRA's headline event. The published version will soon appear in the Review.

September 11 was a horrific day in world history, one that will be remembered with sadness and anger for generations to come. But those of us in the daily practice of spiritual leadership know, too, that we have a unique obligation in such times. The men and women of The Interfaith Alliance and The Interfaith Alliance Foundation are not all clergy; indeed, mine is the only ordination in our national office when our board members are not in town. Our staff reacted to the tragedy as would a pastor, imam, priest, or rabbi, reaching out to lend support and resources to those in pain, working to prevent anti-Muslim and anti-Sikh backlash and to help bring communities together. Our local Alliances and national boards sprang into action as well. Some scheduled unity events, some reached out to Muslims and Sikhs, and some met with political and religious leaders in an effort to gently guide them toward messages of inclusion. All demonstrated in word and deed the positive, healing role of religion in our society. Although we have grown and expanded our programs significantly since we were founded, we remain very much true to our original calling.
