Gifts from churchmembers were piled ` high at the front and round the huge Christmas tree which was festooned with bank notes. Mr. Garel-Jones in replying to Mr. Alf Kelly's welcoming address said: 'In God's w sight every one of us is equal to the other. That is why we have to love and support . one another, and I think that is what you are doing as a congregation.' The toys will be distributed to needy youngsters in the area.

  • Where Is the True Church? – and Its Incredible History!) When God Called Mr
    Where Is GOD’S CHURCH? by David C. Pack Herbert W. Armstrong led the Worldwide Church of God (formerly The Radio Church of God until 1968) until his death in 1986. Hundreds of mil- lions heard his voice and read his literature. God called him in the fall of 1926 and he was converted in the spring of 1927. Over the course of Mr. Armstrong’s ministry, God revealed through him a great many true biblical doctrines, which had been lost to the Church through the centuries. After his death, his successors ceased to believe and teach these doctrines.

He said, “I will build MY CHURCH”— not “churches,” “fellowships,” “sects,” “denominations” or “communities of believers.” He promised that the “gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Where is it and how is it identified? What and why is it? You need not be confused.

    The Worldwide Church of God: A study of its transformation in terms of K. Helmut Reich’s theory of Relational and Contextual Reasoning. Johannes Lothar Felix Buchner MA Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Psychology) University of Western Sydney, Australia March 2006. Certificate of Originality I certify that this thesis is entirely my own work, and that sources have been duly acknowledged, and that inclusive language has been used wherever possible, and that this thesis has not been submitted for a higher degree at any other institution. ______________________________ Johannes L.F. Buchner 23 March 2005. Amended version submitted following examination. ___________________ Johannes L.F. Buchner 27 February 2006. ii Acknowledgments and Dedication Sincere gratitude is expressed for the considerable assistance and support provided by Dr Maureen Miner, of the School of Psychology, University of Western Sydney, my principal supervisor, who gave so much of her time and expertise, as well as her genuine friendship. Maureen’s high academic standards, especially in the Psychology of Religion, enabled me to succeed in this project. I also thank Professor Jim McKnight and Dr Agnes Petocz for their valuable assistance at various stages of this thesis. The generous assistance and mentoring of Dr. K. Helmut Reich, lately of the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, whose valuable theoretical contributions are explored in this thesis, and whose vision for the resolution of cognitive conflict and harmony between worldviews is greatly admired, was very much appreciated. A true polymath, Dr. Reich’s profound insights have given us a wealth of important lessons. I have sought to understand and apply Helmut’s theory fairly and honestly out of respect for academic integrity and our friendship.

  • Canadian International Charities by Country Or Region of Operation and Why This Information May Be Helpful
    CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL CHARITIES BY COUNTRY OR REGION OF OPERATION AND WHY THIS INFORMATION MAY BE HELPFUL Countries – S - Z Why is it useful to have a list of Canadian charities organized by countries or regions in which they operate? 1. If you are interested in a particular country, then it is interesting to note which Canadian charities operate there. 2. If you are interested in supporting a particular country’s development efforts, then you have a list of some of the charities operating there. 3. If an individual, organization or charity is interested in conducting a project in a particular country, then they may wish to partner with one of the charities on the ground. People interested in setting up charities approach me frequently, and I usually try to dissuade them. Instead, I encourage them to work with an established charity that has a similar interest. 4. If you are a Canadian charity this list can help you. If you are considering a project in a new country, then you can speak to some of the Canadian charities already operating there. 5. Also, if a foundation, as opposed to an operating charity, has a particular interest in a country they may be a potential source of funds for a charity. 6. Need for greater coordination between charities (greater efficiency), and for donors’ expectations that organizations will work together and not compete for the sake of competition. This information may be useful to encourage cooperation. Limitations and Caveats This information regarding countries in which Canadian charities are conducting projects comes from the 2006 T3010 Registered Charity Information Return and specifically Q.

  • Which Canadian Charities Spent Money on Foreign Activities in 2018 and How Much Did They Spend?
    www.CanadianCharityLaw.ca Which Canadian charities spent money on foreign activities in 2018 and how much did they spend? By Mark Blumberg and Henri Pasha (June 26, 2020) We recently reviewed the T3010 information for 2018. The database was prepared by the Charities Directorate of CRA in February 2020 and covers about 84,270 charities (which is over 98% of Canadian registered charities) and their 2018 T3010 returns. We reviewed the Canadian charities that identified they did foreign activities through funding projects abroad (approximately 3,324 charities identified spending funds abroad). We also list which identified they received CIDA funding and how much was spent on those arrangements. The total amount claimed is about $3,756,814,368. Keep in mind that additional funds are spent by Canadian charities for example when making gifts to “qualified donees” that are foreign universities registered with CRA or UN agencies and they are not included in this document. Canadian registered charities are currently required to disclose on the T3010 on line C4 and Box 2100 “Did the charity carry on, fund, or provide any resources through employees, volunteers, agents, joint ventures, contractors, or any other individuals, intermediaries, entities, or means (other than qualified donees) for any activity/program/project outside Canada? Yes or No” On this list we included all charities who advise CRA that they spend more than $100,000 Those who had answered yes to question 2100 then complete “Schedule 2, Activities Outside Canada” In Schedule 2 - Activities Outside Canada it asks: Line 1 and line 200: What were total expenditures on activities/programs/projects carried on outside Canada during the fiscal period, excluding gifts to qualified donees? $^ Line 4 and Box 220: Were any projects undertaken outside Canada funded by Global Affairs Canada? Yes or No Line 230: If yes, what was the total amount of funds expended under this arrangement? $^ Please review my caveats at the end about the reliability and usage of T3010 information.
