The goal is to raise awareness of the importance of forests for life. Logo of the International Year of forests on UNO ← building in New York The forest, a precious and diversified environment. In view of the importance of deforestation in the world, the UN has declared 2011 as the International Year of Forests. On this occasion, awareness- raising campaigns will be organized around this theme for the general public. Forests provide us with wood, work, areas of nature, protection against natu- ral dangers, drinking water and places for relaxation. The forest is linked to CO2 and attenuates global warming. In addition, forests provide shelter for many animal and plant species, some of which are rare. 300 million people live in forests.

Kids today have no shortage of heroes. From Hollywood celebrities to music artists and sports figures, it would seem that there are plenty of heroes to go around. The heroes being offered by popular culture are teaching children that physical perfection, financial success, and fame are the most important goals in life. The morals and values presented by these heroes are often in direct opposition to the standards parents want to pass on to their children. So, while there is no shortage of heroes, there is a dreadful shortage of heroes worth emulating.

  • "In Darkest England and the Way Out" the Salvation Army, Social Reform and the Labour Movement, 1885-1910*
    VICTOR BAILEY "IN DARKEST ENGLAND AND THE WAY OUT" THE SALVATION ARMY, SOCIAL REFORM AND THE LABOUR MOVEMENT, 1885-1910* The British bourgeois [...] finally [...] accepted the dan• gerous aid of the Salvation Army, which revives the propa• ganda of early Christianity, appeals to the poor as the elect, fights capitalism in a religious way, and thus fosters an element of early Christian class antagonism, which one day may become troublesome to the well-to-do people who now find the ready money for it. F. Engels1 In the past decade a prominent theme in the historiography of nineteenth-century Britain has been the imposition of middle-class habits and attitudes upon the populace by means of new or re-invigorated mechanisms of "social control". To the apparatus of law enforcement and to the disciplines of the factory and wage labour, historians have added the less overt instruments of social welfare, education, religion, leisure and moral reform. Philanthropists, educators, clergymen and moralizers have all become soldiers in a campaign to uproot the "anti-social" character• istics of the poor and to cement the hegemony of the elite.2 Not surprisingly, the concept of "social control", and the depiction of the activities and institutions of the propertied as effective instruments of social discipline, have run into opposition. Most significant, for present purposes, is F. M. L. Thompson's objection that the idea of social control * The research for this paper was greatly facilitated by the R. T. French Visiting Professorship, which links the University of Rochester, New York, and Worcester Col• lege, Oxford.

    Book Reviews JAMES BARR AND THE BIBLE : Critique of a New Liberalism PAUL RONALD WELLS Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company, USA 1980 406pp. US $12.00 USA ISBN 0 87552 546 6 UNDER GOD'S WORD JIM PACKER Cornerstone, USA 1980 Marshal/, Morgan and Scott 1980 159pp. £1.50 ISBN 0 551 00889 X Two very different types of literature are now emerging on the subject of the authority of the Bible. A few writers are managing to say something fresh about the subject of biblical authority. More important, they recognize the in­ adequacy of so many of the tired and well-worn arguments that are re­ peatedly put forward from various sides in the debate. But creative and constructive work has been threatened by the recent emergence of a second trend, namely the introduction and deliberate feeding of a politics of con­ frontation. Harold Lindsell has done much to bring about this unhappy con­ frontation situation, trying to force evangelicals back into the old entrenched positions. No less unhappy is the emergence, on this side of the Atlantic, of an increasingly polemical and aggressive note in the writings of James Barr, which once again causes reaction, suspicion and polarization. It is therefore of more than passing interest to enquire what P. R. Wells makes of this path of development in Barr' s writings, and to ask how Jim Packer responds to the so-called inerrancy debate initiated, or at least fuelled, by Lindsell. Wells makes a number of important points. First, he enquires about the adequacy of the Christological model as a way of understanding the inter­ relation between the divine and the human in the Scriptures.

Abstract: Multidisciplinary care (MDC) is considered best practice in lung cancer care. Health care services have made significant investments in MDC through the establishment of multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings. This investment is likely to be sustained in future. It is imperative that MDT meetings are efficient, effective, and sufficiently nimble to introduce new innovations to enable best practice. In this article, we consider the ‘evidence-practice gaps’ in the implementation of lung cancer MDC.

  • Unit 6 I a LEADER’S AIM & Prayer
    Unit 6 i A LEADER’S AIM & prayer I am discipling young people so that they can say, ‘I acknowledge Jesus as my Saviour and Lord.’ I know that they will watch my life. Help me to live so that they only see Jesus in me. I will study God’s word so I can present its great truths faithfully and well. Safety and care Carelessness is the opposite of loving. True care will be anticipatory (thinking ahead and being responsible), pro-active (their concerns are my concerns) and personal. The most important thing is not the program – it’s the person. So keep your ministry safe! Don’t assume that everything will be OK – build safety and care into your youth ministry.

  • Beyond Borders
    The Salvation Army Worship Workout 7 February 2021 Beyond borders Welcome to the launch of The Salvation Army’s Self Denial Appeal 2021. This is a time when we prayerfully consider how we can financially support our fellow Salvationists in other lands all over the world. For he has given us this command: whoever loves God must also demonstrate love to others. (1 John 4:21) Let giving flow from your heart, not from a sense of religious duty. Let it spring up freely from the joy of giving—all because God loves hilarious generosity! (2 Corinthians 9:7-8) Theme for the week It is my favourite time of The Salvation Army Year – it is the start of our self-denial appeal. I love it because it enables us to see what a difference God is making through Salvationists all over the world – and I find that really exciting! But there is also some consideration to be given to how we might each contribute to the work of the international Salvation Army through financial giving. Giving is often a challenging subject, so today I hope to help you gain some different perspectives on giving and illustrate why the proof of the pudding is sometimes in the ‘not eating’… As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.” (2 Corinthians 9:9) Call to worship: Psalm 47:1-2, 5-9 Leader: Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy. Women: For the Lord Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth.

FOREWORD TO THE FOURTH EDITION \ ‘In the world’s great field of battle no duty is higher than to keep the ranks of the forces of Light well filled with recruits. It is to no holiday that our offspring are called – rather is it a combat long and stern, ending in inevitable death.’ – W.T. Stead SA 101 is a crash course in battle-ready Christianity. More, it dares us to discover what Salvationism means today. Salvation Soldiership is a distinct calling. It makes concrete demands. It costs. It costs in the way Christianity has always cost - personally. When the great journalist William Thomas Stead spoke over one hundred years ago about Christian combat, he was speaking from experience. Stead himself was imprisoned for his part in the Maiden Tribute campaign to end child prostitution.
