This document summarizes the objectives and priorities of the OMI JPIC (Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation) General Service. It outlines their vision of making JPIC central to their mission and striving to identify with the poor and engage in the struggle for justice. The objectives include animating others, being proactive, collaborative, and supportive. Key priorities are ecological and economic sustainability, human rights, peace/reconciliation, and education/formation. It also notes some regional issues like political/ecological crises and immigration in Europe.
The disciples gathered together and prayed to God after being threatened by religious leaders for preaching about Jesus. They recalled how kings and rulers had opposed God and his anointed one in the past. Though faced with hostility from both religious and political authorities like Herod and Pilate, the disciples acknowledged that their plans to harm Jesus were already predetermined by God. The disciples boldly asked God to continue empowering them to preach his word and to perform signs and wonders through the name of Jesus. In response, the place they were meeting was shaken and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, enabling them to continue preaching God's word with boldness.

The document discusses how Jesus was sent by God to serve and sacrifice for humanity, and how Christians are called to follow his example by being sent as missionaries to others. It notes that Jesus came as a real human to suffer and die for people, and calls Christians to go to others as part of a community, making sacrifices as Jesus did to build the church.
God sent guidance to humanity through prophets like Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. This guidance was meant to unify believers and establish a moral economy based on shared principles like prohibiting interest/riba. Taking additional money without work creates unjust burdens and divides society. Islam, Christianity and Judaism all prohibit usury for these reasons, to encourage productive activity and prevent harm. Holy Book finance principles like profit/loss sharing aim to establish justice and partnership in economic affairs.
1. The document presents a comprehensive plan or blueprint for establishing God's kingdom on earth.
2. It discusses the divine plan for creation, man's fall from grace, and restoration through Jesus Christ.
3. The plan involves bringing all areas of life and society under God's authority so that everything is done for His glory.
The document contains several Bible verses encouraging Christians to actively participate in and support their church community. It emphasizes that the house of God should be a house of prayer and a place where believers gather together and encourage one another, especially as they await Christ's return. It also contains a quote about how God does not dwell in temples made by human hands, suggesting community is more important than physical buildings. Overall, the document promotes an attitude of service and contribution to one's church over simply receiving from it.
The document provides commentary on the book of Zephaniah from the Bible. It discusses how Zephaniah warned of God's coming judgment on Jerusalem for their sins, which was fulfilled during Zephaniah's time but also foreshadows God's final judgment. It notes that the "great day of the Lord" will be a day of darkness and destruction for both believers and non-believers, though there is hope of survival for the humble who faithfully seek God. The passage encourages believers today to maintain their faith and trust in God, as God will rejoice over and protect His people, even turning their suffering into an experience of His blessings and presence.

The angel of the Lord spoke to the Israelites, reminding them that God brought them out of Egypt and into the promised land, but that they had disobeyed God by making covenants with the native people instead of driving them out as commanded. As a result, God would no longer drive out the native peoples but instead allow them to remain as traps and snares for the Israelites. After Joshua and the elders who had seen God's works died, the new generation did not know God and served Baals instead of God, causing God's anger and allowing enemies to oppress them until judges arose to save them. However, the people would not listen to the judges and turned back to idols after each judge died.

Conflicts in the Middle East & their impact on the European Union Dr. Karim Hamza
this presentation was presented to the Institute of European Studies in Brussel
Middle East 2015/2016 overview.
Role of EU in Middle East conflict
What is Islam
Muslims in Europe
Conclusion
Israel claims all of the land as their biblical and historical homeland. They do not accept giving up any land.
The root of the conflict is both groups claim the same small piece of land as their homeland and religious heartland. Both see themselves as having a long historical connection and right to all the land. Compromise has been difficult.
PB Top 10 Things About Israel Palestine Conflictchan0496
The document outlines key aspects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over land and sovereignty. It discusses the competing claims to the land by Israelis and Palestinians, the British Mandate which divided the territory, and UN proposals for partition that were rejected. Major events include Israel declaring statehood in 1948, the 1967 Six Day War, and some peace settlements like the 1979 Camp David Accords. It also notes the current status of Palestine as a UN non-member observer state and key issues still to be resolved in the conflict.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict centers around claims to the land of Palestine by both Israelis and Palestinians. The Zionist movement supported the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine in the early 1900s, while Palestinians opposed it in their homeland. This led to violence and war when Israel declared independence in 1948. Key unresolved issues preventing a final peace agreement include borders, the status of Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, and Israeli security. Major players like Israel, Fatah, and Hezbollah have differing goals and approaches to achieving a resolution.
The document summarizes several Middle East conflicts of the 21st century. It discusses the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of borders by European powers that blended different ethnic groups. It also covers the historical roots of Judaism and Israel, the creation of Israel, and questions over who has rights to the land. The document then discusses the Persian Gulf War, US intervention in other countries, the US invasion of Afghanistan following 9/11, and the US invasion of Iraq over weapons of mass destruction.
Inclusive process, rigourous methodology and policy uptake are the key issues raised in this power point presentation by Paul van Hoof, senior advisor on local governance with IDASA, at the Cairo workshop on assessing governance in sectors, June 2009.
The document provides an overview of the history and culture of Mesopotamia from approximately 4000 BCE to 1750 BCE. It discusses the early civilizations that arose in the Fertile Crescent region, including the Sumerians, Akkadians, and Babylonians. Key aspects summarized include the polytheistic Sumerian religion, the development of cuneiform writing, Gilgamesh and the flood story, advances in metallurgy, and Hammurabi's famous code of laws.
The Iranian Revolution of 1979 established the first Islamic fundamentalist state. Long-term causes included the discovery of oil which foreign powers exploited, generating nationalist resentment. Immediate causes were widespread protests against the Shah's oppressive and western-aligned rule, led by Ayatollah Khomeini. The Shah fled in 1979 and Khomeini established an Islamic theocracy, imposing strict Islamic law and isolating Iran internationally. The revolution had significant regional impacts and tensions with Iraq and the West continue over Iran's nuclear program.
The document summarizes the Balfour Declaration, which was a letter written by British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour on November 2, 1917 stating that the British government "view[ed] with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people" and would use its best efforts to facilitate this goal. The declaration was important as it supported the idea of establishing a homeland for Jewish people in Palestine after years of persecution and helped lead to the creation of the state of Israel.
This document appears to be a pre-test on topics related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It contains 10 multiple choice questions that assess knowledge on topics like Israel's borders, Palestine's refugee population, Hamas as a terrorist organization, and the territories that make up Palestine. The pre-test reveals that some answers are clearly true or false, while others require more nuance, such as Israel being the largest recipient of US military aid being "sort of" true. The questions cover a range of historical facts and current issues regarding the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
Second ARC(Sixth Report) -Local Governance(Government of India)Consultant
The document is a report from the Administrative Reforms Commission of India on local governance. It discusses the need to strengthen grassroots democracy through genuine decentralization as envisioned by Mahatma Gandhi and mandated by the Indian Constitution. The report examines issues of rural and urban local governance. It highlights how local bodies have been weakened over time through lack of funds and centralization of functions. The report argues for reversing this trend and empowering local governments to improve participation and governance at the local level.
The document summarizes the historical reasons for the establishment of Israel in 1948. It explains that Palestine was created out of the Ottoman Empire and was under British control after WWI. Many Jews supported Zionism and returning to Palestine as their homeland due to the Holocaust and anti-Semitism in Europe. In 1948, the newly formed UN voted to create the state of Israel in the region of Palestine, despite opposition from the Arab population already living there. This led to war as Arab countries tried to prevent the creation of a Jewish state.
1. The Middle East is a crossroads for three major religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - and key religious sites lie in Jerusalem, causing ongoing religious and territorial conflicts over the land of Israel and Palestine.
2. The ongoing conflict centers around disputes over land and control of territories like the West Bank and Gaza Strip following the establishment of Israel in 1948 and its occupation of additional territories in 1967.
3. Achieving peace in the region is challenging given the religious and cultural clashes between groups like Jews, Palestinians, and neighboring Arab countries over the past decades as well as ongoing territorial disputes and histories of violence and dictatorship.
Iran and Iraq went to war for eight years over territorial disputes along the Shatt-al-Arab river and religious differences, as Iran had a Shia government while Iraq was led by Sunni Saddam Hussein, who sought to become the most powerful leader in the Middle East; ultimately, neither side gained any territory from the costly war which ended in a UN-brokered ceasefire.
The document summarizes the Middle East conflicts involving the U.S. since 2001. It describes the 9/11 attacks carried out by Al Qaeda, the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan to find Osama Bin Laden, and the U.S. invasion of Iraq over suspected weapons of mass destruction. While Bin Laden was killed in 2011, the U.S. is still involved militarily in Afghanistan and Iraq with the goal of establishing stable governments and preventing threats from Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
This presentation includes the history of Israel and Palestine concept along with various factors. A word file attached with it has got details where under NOTES, the explanation is written
This document discusses the definitions and concepts of politics and history. Politics is defined as the process of selecting rulers and making collective decisions, as well as the distribution of power and resources. It involves conflict, cooperation, and resolving disputes. History is defined as the study and investigation of past events, people, places, and time periods using primary and secondary sources. Studying history helps understand the present and improves judgment. Both politics and history are important for cultural understanding, identity, and preparing for the future, but history as a discipline faces issues like correcting errors and reinterpreting facts from a new perspective.
The document discusses the emergence and key concepts of Development Administration (DA) as a field of study from the 1950s-1960s. DA focused on administering development in third world countries as they worked to industrialize and modernize after World War II. It aimed to help these countries overcome administrative obstacles to economic planning and social change through reforms like improving public services, governance, and people's participation in development. While Western countries provided funds and models, DA was tailored to unique political, social and cultural contexts in different countries like the Philippines, where it remained central to development plans.
1. Elections in the Philippines allow citizens to choose their leaders and officials. However, the country's first president was chosen by rebels and not elected by citizens.
2. The electoral system involves electing the president, vice president and senators to six-year terms, and lower offices like representatives, governors and mayors to three-year terms. Citizens 18 years or older can vote if they are registered.
3. Political parties exist across diverse ideologies but many do not have strong grassroots support. Parties seek to gain power through elections and support candidates to enhance their own careers and for economic and ideological reasons.
The Philippines has a unitary presidential constitutional republic system of government. It has three branches - the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The legislative branch is comprised of the Senate and House of Representatives. The executive branch is led by the President who is both head of state and government. The judicial branch settles legal controversies and is the Supreme Court. There is a system of checks and balances between the three branches to ensure no single branch becomes too powerful.
This document discusses reconciliation through several theological lenses. It begins by examining Luke 4:18-19 and the Great Commission's focus on proclaiming good news to the poor, freedom for prisoners, sight for the blind, and release for the oppressed. Several sections then explore themes of reconciliation in the book of Acts and Paul's letters. Models of reconciliation are proposed, including institutional repentance and changing the locus of theology education. The role of reconciliation in citywide revival and transforming cities is discussed. Throughout, scriptural references are made about God's desire to reconcile all things through Christ.
Pope Francis visited the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan from January 31st to February 5th, 2023. During his visit, he met with various groups including victims, young people, bishops, priests, displaced persons and government officials. He celebrated masses and held prayer services. The Pope emphasized the need for peace, justice, education and care for creation. He called on leaders to serve the people and end violence and corruption. He encouraged Christians to be reconcilers and bring people together through encounter and prayer.

Baha'is and Jews: Some Personal ReflectionsRon Price
Over the last decade, 2005 to 2014, since my retirement from FT, PT and most volunteer work, after an employment-and-student life of half a century, 1954 to 2004, I have often written about the Jews and Judaism with comparisons and contrasts to a people and a religion I have now been associated with for more than 60 years, the Baha'is and the Baha'i Faith. The following 27 pages and 12,000 words provide a series of items containing, as they do, some of these comparisons and contrasts, among other aspects of both the Jewish world and the Baha'i world.
I put the following compilation together after watching Simon Schama's "The Story of the Jews" on SBSONE TV in Tasmania, on 22/3/'14, 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. His interest in the identity of the Jew, now and in history, stimulated my own interest in the identity of the Baha'i, now and in history.-Ron Price, Pioneering Over Five Epochs, 24/3/'14.
U.S. President Barack Obama’s visit to Hiroshima, an atomic bomb afflicted city in western Japan on 27th May ’16 is expected to mark a new era, the dawn of a warless world. In the Bible, many epoch making events are recorded, which were caused by God’s intervention to human history. …

The Power Of Connection Who Are You Connected To - Part 3Kennedy Liyai
The Power Of Connection: Who Are You Connected To? Our connections should be resourceful both to us and others too! If not, something is wrong somewhere and must be rectified.
This document contrasts good and evil, righteousness and sin. It describes how Satan rebelled against God and now seeks to destroy God's creation through evil schemes. The devil blinds people to evil and causes them to carry out wicked acts like destroying schools. The righteous must stand up for what is good by following God, obeying his word, and making disciples to transform the world. People must choose whether they will serve God and promote good or reject him and further evil aims.
1. The document outlines a proposed event bringing together Israeli and Palestinian youth to experience each other's cultures through music, art, and shared meals in hopes of easing tensions between the two groups.
2. The event would be held at the United Nations headquarters in New York and feature performances by musicians and artists from both cultures.
3. Delegates and youth leaders from Israel and Palestine would immerse themselves in the activities and discussions with the goal of opening lines of communication and alleviating tensions between the two sides.
Rewind: Part 3 - Learning to Love Those We Disagree WithVintage Church
This document contains a prayer praising God for revealing God's word and joyful promises through Jesus. It asks God to fill all of creation with this word again so that by proclaiming God's message to all nations, people of all backgrounds can become one united body reflecting God's presence on Earth. The rest of the document discusses the importance of unity among Christians and treating all people with dignity regardless of differences. It provides perspectives from religious figures such as Paul, Augustine, and John Wesley emphasizing the need for unity in essential beliefs and liberty in non-essential beliefs.
The document is a report from a committee of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) on Israel/Palestine and the complex context of the Middle East. The committee was mandated to study the region, assess the role of the church and its mission, analyze U.S. policies, and recommend steps to improve relations and foster justice and peace. The report details the committee's process, findings on issues like settlements, checkpoints, and refugees, and provides recommendations addressing human rights, a two-state solution, an end to occupation and violence, and the urgent need to break down physical and ideological barriers to peace.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Love one another
John 15:17-27
17) This I command you, to love one another.18) If the world
hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19) If
you were of the world, the world would love its own; but
because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the
world, therefore the world hates you. 20) Remember the word
that I said to you, `A servant is not greater than his master.' If
they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my
word, they will keep yours also. 21) But all this they will do to
you on my account, because they do not know him who sent
me. 22) If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not
have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23) He who
hates me hates my Father also. 24) If I had not done among
them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin;
but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 25)
It is to fulfill the word that is written in their law, `They hated me
without a cause.' 26) But when the Counselor comes, whom
I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth,
who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me;
27) and you also are witnesses, because you have been
with me from the beginning.
