It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: x A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm x The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive) / Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules x The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules x A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) x A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory x A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and x If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

  • The Church of PAKISTAN
    The Church OF PAKISTAN Introduction The Anglican Communion consists of 40 autonomous churches, also known as provinces around the world. It encompasses over 165 countries. This is a short introduction to The Church of Pakistan. More information about The Anglican Communion and each of the Member Churches can be found at anglicancommunion.org. Important Information Short History The Church of Pakistan is the result of the union of four denominations: Anglican, Methodist, Lutheran and Presbyterian (Scottish), which took place in 1970. The United Presbyterian Church which had been involved in the negotiations did not join. Initially there were four dioceses in the Church of Pakistan, i.e. Karachi, Multan, Lahore and Sialkot, but in 1980, through a special resolution and for better ministerial work, four new dioceses were created: Hyderabad, Raiwind, Faisalabad and Peshawar. There are eight active diocesan bishops with an additional bishop for the Gulf Ministries. This appointment was made to take care of the pastoral and worship needs of Urdu-speaking workers in the Gulf. There is a presiding bishop for the Church of Pakistan who is known as the moderator and has responsibility for a three-year term. The United Church of Pakistan is the second largest church in the country after the Roman Catholic Church. PAKISTAN Primate(s) The Most Rev.

Pop 2017 Christians Chr% 196,744,000 3,938,000 2.0 Source: WCD, May 2017 How did Christians get there? According to the Church historian Eusebius writing in the 4th century AD, the apostles Thomas and Bartholomew were assigned to Parthia (modern Iran) and India. By the time of the establishment of the Second Persian Empire (AD 226), there were bishops of the Church of the East in northwest India, Afghanistan and Baluchistan (including parts of Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan), with laymen and clergy alike engaging in missionary activity. Roman Catholic missionary work took off on the Indian continent with the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century and became established in Lahore in 1570.1 In more modern times, Christianity became firmly established through Protestant missionary work in the late 18th and 19th centuries and has continued to grow ever since. However, due to the strongly increasing pressure in recent years, many Christians have fled abroad to countries like Sri Lanka or Thailand. Since the introduction of the blasphemy laws in 1986, Christians have come under increasing pressure and are victims of roughly a quarter of all blasphemy accusations.

Medical Ethics Inspiring Music in Worship Preaching Old Testament Estates Ministry Agreed Lead into Evangelism The Devil’s Storyteller Effective Administration CMD Reader Training Welcome to our 2020 Programme of Diocesan CMD Days Over the past four years Mission Discipleship and Ministry has been seeking to support church growth in our diocese. In order to do this we have addressed the issues that the philosopher Charles Taylor sees as being at the heart of secularisation: declining numbers in church; lack of influence in society; a sceptical secularised mindset that prioritises consumerism. Our response has three important strands: Growth in depth: enabling our churches to deepen the living faith of those who are part of our church communities so that their experience of God is rich and meaningful. We might describe this as pre-evangelism: helping Christians to reflect on their faith so that they are able to share a living faith with others. Growth in breath: enabling churches to share their faith with others and make an impact upon their communities. This is about shaping the discussion about what the Common Good of society might be according to a Christian narrative in which the life and death of Jesus is central. We might describe this as evangelism: Christians sharing their faith with others. Growth in number: enabling churches to welcome new people into the family of faith by making space for their needs. This is about people encountering something of the hospitality of God in the life of church communities.

  • Coronavirus Letter
    The Right Reverend Tim Dakin Dear all We are wri4ng to assure you of our prayers at this unse;led 4me as we face so many challenges resul4ng from the spread of the Coronavirus (Covid 19). In the last 24 hours we have begun to face even more significant changes to our lives as we take new precau4ons to fight the spread of infec4on, and rally to support essen4al services and protect the most vulnerable members of our communi4es. You will all be considering the impact these changes will have on your work, your health, your ministry and your rela4onships with friends and family members. We are praying for you; please pray for us and for the church leaders who share responsibility for the care of your community. In the light of the most recent advice from our government, we know that these new measures will also have a huge effect on the life of churches across the diocese and the whole country. We are working hard to ensure the con4nuity of our mission and ministry across the diocese throughout this 4me, and we are expec4ng further guidance from the Na4onal Church in the coming hours. We will update you again today by email once that has been received. A con4ngency planning group of the senior staff met this morning, and the Diocesan offices already have effec4ve con4nuity plans to ensure the best possible provision of support in key areas of our church’s life. Clergy and ministry teams in parishes and other sectors have been working 4relessly on local con4ngency plans.
