From time immemorial, India has been a land of religious tolerance and it has been rich in culture, language, tradition and wisdom. It is also known for its Philosophy. The land of India had been receptive to various religions, such as, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Sikhism, Parsism and Jainism. It has been a land of religious co-existence. All these religions co-existed in a perfect manner and the people of India grew as one nation and as one people in spite of their differences in religion. Hinduism which is an ancient religion, by its very nature, it is a religion of tolerance and the people are also had the same nature. But over the years, the situation has been changed. Hinduism has been redefined by a group of people and fundamentalism has been crept into the minds of some people. The seed of fundamentalism has been sown in the soil of India and in some places it has already taken root and it is trying to take roots in some other places and in some places it is not yet spread. As a whole the Hindu fundamentalism is very much alive and no doubt it is catching like a wild fire.
Another alarming scenario is that the mixing of both religion and politics. After the independence, both religion and politics were kept apart. Over the years, both religion and politics are mixed. Religion has been used to capture votes and even the so called "secular parties" are using the religion in a subtle way to woo the voters of particular religions. In India, now the majority and minority feelings have been infiltered into the minds of people. The main cause for these changes is the emergence of Hindutva forces. The mindset and outlook of Hindu people is changing because of these Hindutva forces. Once, the Hindus had a positive and friendly attitude towards Christianity but now the Hindutva forces influencing the Hindus to have a negative and hostile attitude towards other religions especially Christianity and Islam. Once the Hindus considered Christians and Muslims are part of Indian nation and accepted as brothers and sisters, now they considered Christianity and Islam are alien forces which are threat to our country and to the Hinduism. Hence, they begin to threat both the religions in the form of violence, intimidation and harassment. They began to see India as Hindu nation. To achieve this goal, they want to have political power. Hence, they started mixing both religion and politics. In this context, what would be our role? What is our response to this situation? What would be our mission? Basing on these situations, I am trying to make theological reflections in this paper. I am making an attempt to highlight on the present scenario of the Indian politics and religion. I am also demonstrating in this paper, how the Hindutva forces emerged and what their present and future plan is, as far as politics and religion are concerned. The threat of fundamentalism is not only in India, in other countries too. Hence it is very appropriate and apt to reflect over our mission in the context of fundamentalism.
In the second part of my paper, I throw some light on the methodology that I am adopting for my theological reflection. The starting point for our reflection is context and the context refers to life-situation. Our theological reflections should always begin from the context, not from the air. In other words, the concrete situation is the base for any theological reflection, not the abstract. Theological reflections should response to the life-situation of people, then only it becomes relevant and apt to people. Theological reflection emerges from the co-relation between life, the word of God and the tradition. Not relating the life-situation to our theological reflection which was basing only on the word of God and tradition, leads one to abstraction and eventually to meaninglessness and unrealistic mission. Our mission depends on the kind of theological reflection that we have. If we understand properly the scripture, the word of God itself is related to the life-situation of people. When we connect the context with the word of God, our theological reflection and mission becomes contextualized. The contextualized theology and mission is the actual response to the situation of people. Hence, both theology and mission are rooted in the life-situation of people. Contextualization is a response to a particular socio-political, religious and economic situation. It must be recognized that "Contextualization" is not simply a fad or a catchword but a theological necessity demanded by the incarnational nature of the word. "The word became flesh and dwelt among us" (Jn. 1:14) is the basis for our contextual theology. These words remind us that the son of God was fully involved in the world. The incarnational nature of the word reminds us that we should be inserted into the situation of people. Contextuality is the capacity to respond meaningfully to the gospel within the frame work of one's own situation.
The question is why we need to take the life-situation as basis and foundation for our theological reflection, why not only the gospel and tradition? Faith is lived in a concrete situation. Faith and life-situation are inseparable. Faith has a quest for the meaningfulness of life. The real faith always looks for a meaning that arises out of a situation. For instance, at the time of death and sickness in one's life situation, faith tries to find meaning. Hence, there is a co-relation between faith and life. The meaning that emerges out of the co-relation shows in a way to continue living meaningfully. In the light of this meaning therefore we discern concrete ways of action in the world. Contextualization looks for a concrete action. It touches the problems of life. Here we don't take the life of few, but the life of everyone.
After taking into consideration the context, which is the base for our theological reflection, we study the life-situation or the context in which we live, in an analytical way. In other words, we analyze the situation in a critical and objective way without any prejudice and bias. To study it in an analytical way, some times, we need to take recourse to other sciences, such as sociology, psychology, philosophy and political science. They do help us to understand problems that grip us.
After analyzing the context, we have to take recourse to the word of God and tradition. In this process, we reflect over the context and situation in the light of the word of God and tradition. Hence, a new theology arises out of particular context and situation. In this theological process, there is also an internal process takes places. While reflecting over the situation in the light of the word of God and tradition, there is transformation in one's life. A transformation is needed in our way of thinking and attitude. We have the right thinking and attitude towards others, while getting rid of our biases and prejudices. We don't stop with thinking alone but we make option for action. It is to be understood in the sense of mission. Our transformation is reflected in our action which is supposed to be our mission.
We already discussed in the introduction on the context in which we live in India. The Hindu fundamentalism is the present context which is threatening us and forcing us to rethink on our theological reflection and on our mission. The following diagram will explain it well our methodology.
Context: The emergence of Hindutva force in India
In simple term Hindutva means Hinduism that is the total aspect of "Hinduness". It is to revive the Hindu culture, tradition and religious practices of Hindu and to imbibe a spirit of Hinduism to the people of Hindu religion. Hindutva is commonly identified with the guiding ideology of the Sangh Parivar (Family of associations), a family of Hindu nationalist organizations. The first Hindutva organization formed was the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), founded in 1925. A prominent Indian political party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is closely associated with a group of organizations that advocate Hindutva. They collectively refer to themselves as the "Sangh Parivar" or family of associations, which include the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Bajarang Dal and the Vishva Hindu Parishad. The major political wing is the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which was in power in India's central Government for six years from 1998 to 2004 and is now the main opposition party.
"One nation, one culture, one people and one leader" has become the dominant and fundamental slogan of the Sangh Parivar. Their fundmental argument is that the Hindus are a majority and hence they should exercise authority, precedence and domination over others. The Sangh Parivar's slogan is aiming at bringing Christians and Muslims under the domination of Hindus. Their one nation theory always take recourse to history and warn the citizens that there are "hostile forces" or to state it in their own words "foreign hand" within and outside the country who are all out to destroy the national unity and pride. Hence, all should be united to face this threat. In this thought pattern the "other" the "enemy" is projected as ready to devour the entire nation, culture, economy and society and thus various segments are mobilized to face this 'threat'.
Gleaning through historical records, one becomes aware of the fact that from 1980 onwards the Sangh Parivar has come to occupy a specific space in the society and polity of India. Till 1980, the Sangh Parivar, remained as an insignificant organization, being strong only in certain pockets of India, taking up some issues pertaining to Hindu culture and religion but without having a strong voice. From 1980 onwards, it started growing steadily. The peak moment of the Sangh Parivar was the demolition of Mosque at Ayodya in 1992. It took up the temple issue at Ayodya and stirred up the religious sentiment of the Hindu People. Ayodya issue was close to the heart of the Sangh Parivar. It took Ram to the people through symbols to which they could easily relate. Ram, Ayodya and the temple were thus brought close to the social and cultural life of the people. In doing so what the fundamentalist group has achieved is to identify itself with the cultural life of the Hindus and to project itself as the champion of their religion. After the demolition of Mosque at Ayodya, it won the hearts of Hindus in some parts of India and as a result the Sangh Parivar's political wing, namely the Bharatiya Janata Bharty (BJP) captured power in some states of India and eventually it captured power at the center in 1998. During their rule, they were executing their hidden agenda of promoting Hindu nation by targeting the minorities, both Christians and Muslims.
Central Concepts of the Sangh Parivar
· The Indian Subcontinent is the homeland of the Hindus.
· "Hindus" are those who consider India to be their fatherland as well as their holy land
· Emphasizing historical oppression of Hindus by invading forces like the Muslims and
Christians and the call to "reverse" the influence resulting from these intrusions.
· Denunciation of British colonialism and communism alike for a perceived weakening of Hindus.
· The irredentist call for the establishment of a "Hindu Rashtra" to protect Hindus and to revive Hindu culture.
Views on other Faiths
The advocates of Hindutva often use the term Pseudo-Secularism to refer to laws which they believe are very favorable towards minorities. They point to the different standards for Hindus, Muslims and Christians. Hence they want a uniform civil code. The subject of a uniform civil code, which would remove special religion-based provisions for different religions (Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, etc) from the Indian constitution, is thus one of the main political planks of Hindutva.
Hindutva followers question differential laws in terms of marriage and divorce and ask why in a secular democracy Muslims are allowed polygamy, but Hindus or Christians are prosecuted for doing the same. Christians are also given separate laws for divorce, which is more difficult for them than for Hindus.
The followers of the Hindutva speak for the Hindu majority in India. They also often feel that secular democracy implies equal laws for all religions, and want a uniform civil code passed for the same reason. One must also differentiate between the word "secularism" as used in the Western and Indian contexts. Secularism in the West implies "separation of church and state" whereas secularism in India means "equal respect for all religions". Among the goals of the Hindutva organizations in modern India is a reversing of the invasions by conquerors. They include demands to convert disputed historical monuments into temples.
Implementation of Hindutva Policies
The Hindutva force captured power in some states of India and in those states they started implementing their Hindutva polices.
1. Introducing the "anti-conversion bill" which makes difficult to both missionaries and to individuals to convert to Christianity from Hinduism. It is introduced to counter the menace of the proselytizing religions of Christianity and Islam. Since the Hindutva force believes in a religiously defined nationhood the conversion of Hindus to foreign faith is seen as a grave threat to Hindu nationhood.
2. Introducing the "anti-cow slaughter bill". It is basically aiming at the formation of Hindu nation. Cow is a sacred animal for Hindus. By banning the slaughtering of cow, they have double motives. One is to make India as a Hindu nation and another motive is to target the Muslims and Christians who eat the cow meat.
3. Using education to spread the Hindutva ideology. Under this agenda, the content of education from the primary level to the higher education stage should be "Indianised, nationalized and spiritualized. In some of their ruled states, they changed the syllabus and content of the subject in order to propagate the Hindutva ideology
4. Appointing personals in the government officials who are supporters of Hindutva ideology. In the BJP ruled states, high ranking officials are the hand-pick of the Hindutva force that has an inclination towards their policies. Hence they could manipulate the government machineries for their end.
5. Intimidation of both Christians and Muslims in their ruled states. Sustained attacks on Churches and Christian schools across the country. Physical attack on Christian missionaries, nuns are very common in the Hindutva ruled states. The intimidation aims at the curbing of activities of our missionaries.
Critical Analysis of the situation
When we look at the situation where the Hindutva force is becoming stronger and the present situation shows that for Christians, a great challenge is ahead of them. When we study it from the historical perspective, we, the Christian missionaries directly or indirectly contributed to the rise of Hindu fundamentalism. Of course, Muslims too played a role in that. First of all, the invaders both British and Muslim are to take a lion share for being causes for the rise of Hindutva forces. The British and Muslim emperors had scant respect for Hinduism. They ridiculed the Hindu religion, saying that they are pagan gods and they also did not respect their holy places. The Muslim emperors converted a few temples into Mosques. Hence the negative attitude of the British and Muslims forced some Hindus to unite themselves under the banner of Rashtray Swayam Sevek (RSS) and ultimately it gave birth to different fundamental groups, including the political wing BJP.
Another factor which contributed to the rise of Hindutva force is our own theology and the activities of missionaries. Way back, India was filled with foreign missionaries who were very zealous in mass conversion. They were converting a lot of Dalits and Tribals to Christianity which the Hindutva force perceived as a threat to the Hindu religion. They thought that if they allow the Christian missionaries to convert the Dalits and Tribals, the Hindu religion will finally extinct. Hence, they were up with arms against the Christian missionaries for their interest for conversion. The Hindutva force was infuriated when Pope John Paul II, spoke about conversion in Asia, when he came to India. Therefore, the Hindutva force is against any conversion from Hinduism to Christianity. One of the main agenda of the Hindutva force is to stop conversion.
Another added factor is our Christian theology. Our theology speaks about exclusiveness and uniqueness of Christ. In the pluralistic countries, it is a problem, if we proclaim the uniqueness of Christ. The Hindu fundamentalists, who are aware of our theology, oppose it saying that this theology puts Christianity above all other religions. This attitude of Christian religion also is considered to be a threat to Hinduism. Though there are many factors which contribute to the rise of Hindutva force, I considered the above-mentioned factors are main causes for the Hindutva forces to adapt to the fundamentalist attitude.
Transformation: A change of attitude
The above-mentioned factors which directly or indirectly contributed to the rise of Hindutva force, now calls for a change. A change is needed in our attitude, in our thinking and in our theology too. It is true that over the years the Church in India has been thinking seriously on the relationship with other religions, especially to the Hinduism. We do have a positive attitude towards Hinduism; however, against the background of the past experience, the Hindutva forces are suspicious about us. They are suspicious about our educational institutions which they think, they are for converting people. They are suspicious about our social services which they think; they are aimed at converting people. Here, we need to have a change in our mission. We have to move from converting souls to converting persons. In other words, instead of increasing the number of Baptism, we need to work for the welfare of humanity, society and nation at large. We need to re-interpret the uniqueness of Christ in the context of pluralism, which will not hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindu people.
The Church teaching on other religions
In India in the context of different religions, particularly in the context of Hinduism, a lot of theological activities have been going on. Indeed the Second Vatican Council gave a boost to the theological movement in India. Almost all theological reflections in India began to situate themselves in the context of non-Christian religions, especially Hinduism. Since then, the church in India has been striving hard to better its relationship with the other religions.
One of the stumbling blocks for a relationship with Hinduism was the understanding of Salvation. Earlier missionaries were convinced that there was no salvation outside the church which was indeed a cause for animosity between the Hinduism and Christianity. Now, the Vatican II recognizes the Universal saving will of God (II Vatican, Lumen Gentium, 16). It is because of this universal saving will there are workings of God in other religions. Although the workings of God in other religions are hidden, they are not totally unknown to the Church. In the ways of conduct and of life of the people, and in the precepts and teachings of the religions Nostra Aetate perceives the reflection of a ray of the truth, the Christ who enlightens all. John Paul II stated that in Christ God is working out the salvation in a way also through the different religions of the people. God makes himself "present in many ways, not only to individuals but also to entire peoples through their spiritual riches, of which their religions are the main and essential expression, even when they contain 'gaps', insufficiencies and errors". The document jointly published by the Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue and the Congregation for the Evangelization of the peoples once again clarifies the mind of the II Vatican Council. The document stated that it may be the providence of God that the people belonging to the different religions, through the different very true religious efforts, may achieve salvation ( II Vatican, Ad Gentes, 3, cf. also Lumen Gentium, 16).
As I mentioned earlier, one of the reasons for the rise of Hindu fundamentalism is our own attitude, a negative attitude of condemning other religions, saying that there is no salvation outside the church. This attitude did infuriate the Hindu fundamentalist and as a result they are against conversions in India. Now, our attitude has been changed and Vatican II clearly highlights on the point that there is salvation outside the church. Hence, there is no hindrance to accept Hinduism as one of the religions which lead people to salvation. This thinking indeed helps the Hindutva force to get rid of their biases against Christianity especially with regard to our motivation of conversion.
Operation of the Spirit in other Religions:
The presence and activity of the spirit are universal, limited neither by space nor by time. Gaudium et spes states that the operation of the Spirit had started well before the Christ-event ( II Vatican Gaudium Et Spes, 22). In Dominum et Vivificantem Pope John Paul II said that our vision must be limited to the two thousand years which have passed since the birth of Christ. It must go further back, to embrace the whole of the action of the Holy Spirit even before Christ – from the beginning, throughout the world, and especially in the economy of the Old Covenant. The operation of the Spirit is still continuing in other religions even after the Christ-event, for Christ died for all. (II Vatican, Gaudium Et Spes, 22; cf. Lumen Gentium, 16; Ad Gentes, 4). The universal working of the spirit of God is in the world, in the human values which pursue justice and kinship, peace and harmony (cf. II Vatican, Gaudium Et Spes, 32, 38). He is working in the heart of every person "through the seeds of the word", to be found in human initiatives -including religious ones- and in man's effort to attain truth, goodness and God himself. The spirit is at the very source of the human person's existential and religious questioning…which is occasioned not only by contingent situations but by the very structure of its being (9). The people's religious life is influenced by the spirit ( II Vatican, Gaudium Et Spes, 15, 37,41, etc.). The spirit's presence and activity affect not only individuals but also society and history, peoples, cultures and religions (10).
Vatican Council perceives the presence and operation of the Spirit even outside the visible body of the Church. Basing on II Vatican, Gaudium Et Spes, 22, Pope John Paul II writes that the Council "reminds us of the Holy Spirit's activity also 'outside' the visible body of the church" (11). With the backing of the New Testament assertion, the spirit blows where he wills" (Jn.3:8), John Paul affirms that there is the operative presence of the spirit of God in the religious life and religious tradition of the non-Christians. The firm belief of the followers of the non-Christian religions" is also an effect of the spirit of truth operating outside the visible confines of the Mystical Body" (12). It is the same spirit that is also active in the Church. Therefore "the universal activity of the spirit is not to be separated from his particular activity within the Body of Christ, which is the spirit" (13).
Vatican II clearly spells out that the spirit is present in other religion too. The spirit did really inspire people of other religion to practice a holy and perfect life. It is indeed the same spirit which guides the church to the truth, guides other religion too to the truth. The acceptance of the spirit being present in other religion too enables us to accept other religion as a true religion. This teaching of the Church eases out the tension between Christianity and Hinduism which had existed over the years. The tension was existing because of the claim of Christianity over the Hinduism. The Catholic religion once claimed that it is the only true religion and only it has the truth. This change brought a great relief to people who live in a pluralistic country. One of the reasons for the Hindu fundamentalists, being hostile to Christianity was the claim of superiority over other religions. The Vatican II helps us to understand the other religion in a better way and also enables us to accept them.
Theological Reflection: Dialogue as Mission
Taking into consideration the Indian context, where the fundamentalism is growing and after making a self-evaluation of our own attitude towards Hinduism in the earlier times, and in the light of teaching of Vatican II, which casts other religions in a positive light, we need to rethink on our mission. In a pluralistic context, inter-religious dialogue is a part of the Church's Evangelizing mission. The council calls for dialogue with the non-Christian religions. This dialogue has its roots in the very concept of Religion, which is a dialogue between Man and God (cf. Paul VI, ES 70). Hence dialogue should be a mission of every religion, especially for the catholic religion. Dialogue with other religion always aims at mutual respect and mutual understanding. To achieve this objective, first and foremost, the religions at dialogue should share their theological views and ideas. It is not to find fault or errors in theological understanding. Rather it is to understand each one's stand on theological issues and to respect each one's view point. It is not for an argumentation that we enter into theological discussion, but it is for enriching one another with rich theological thoughts. Earlier, Christian theologians were critical about the theology of Hindu religion and its tradition. But now, dialogue helps us to accept their view point and to appreciate it. The appreciation and acceptance of other's view, especially on the Hindu religion will help the fundamentalist group to change their attitude. In fact, fundamentalism is a reaction to the negative attitude of Christian towards the Hindu. Our misconception and misunderstanding on the Hindu religion invited the wrath of the fundamentalist. Dialogue indeed helps us to have better understanding with the fundamentalist group. Hence, dialogue is one of the means, through which we can reach out to our Hindu brethren. In this process, each religion stands in its position and expresses their view without criticizing the other. We engage in dialogue to clarify and to remove misunderstandings between two religions. This will help us to have better relationship with the other religion in a pluralistic context.
By sharing our theological views and ideas through dialogue, we also seek the truth. Pope John Paul II said in Madras, India, that "dialogue is a means of seeking after truth and sharing it with others". It is this "truth that has come to unite all the people as one human kind in love. Every religion seeks after truth. If we accept this basic principle, we can somewhat mellow down the fundamentalism. Absolutism also leads religion to fundamentalism. Hindu fundamentalism is a reaction to our absolutism. But now, we accept that other religion also contains truth. "The Catholic church recognizes the truths that are contained in the religious traditions of India" (II Vatican, Nostra Aetate, 34). Religions in India, especially Hinduism, are ardent seekers of truth. In this context "dialogue is a means of seeking after truth and sharing it with others". Dignitatis Humane of Vatican II states that by dialogue people will be sharing "with each other the truth they have discovered, or are convinced they have discovered, in such a way that they help one another in the search for truth". Today's India has been experiencing division, hatred and disunity, because of fundamentalism. By seeking truth in other religion, especially in Hinduism, Catholic Church can bring unity and fellowship in the society. As Vatican II, Nostra Aetate, 1, says, "it is the truth what "human beings have in common and on what promotes fellowship among them".
Constant dialogue with God and with other religions, help us to reinterpret our own theological concepts which will be meaningful to a pluralistic context. Even the Hindu concepts can be reinterpreted in Christian context. For instance, church, sacraments and Kingdom of God should be reinterpreted in our own context. The reinterpretation of our theological concepts will not take place unless we have openness. Dialogue will help us to be open to other religion. Rigid interpretations of our theological concepts will not receive compliments in a pluralistic context; rather it will get negative reaction from other religions. The Hindutva forces indeed were negative towards catholic religion due to our rigid way of interpreting things. Dialogue helps to understand our own selves and enables us to be open to other religion.
Kingdom of God as mission
As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, our theological concepts need reinterpretation which will be befitting to the pluralistic context. In this context, the "kingdom of God" is reinterpreted to our situation. First of all, the Kingdom of God should not be identified with the Church. The Kingdom of God is wider concept than the Church. The Church is a sign of kingdom of God. The kingdom of God can be understood in three ways. One way we can understand the Kingdom as the future of the Church. This interpretation leads us to rigidity and exclusiveness. The church is seen as the beginnings of the kingdom. Another way of understanding the kingdom is to insist that it is not merely a future, heavenly reality, but has to be realized here and now in history as a human community of freedom, fellowship and love. People would however agree that the Kingdom is not merely an earthly reality and that while we must keep on striving for the realization of the Kingdom in this sense in human society, its actual advent may be eschatological in or beyond history. In this interpretation, the kingdom is understood as both present and future reality. The problem with this interpretation is that it is very much limited to the church. It sees the church as kingdom which is a both present and future reality. This interpretation will not be applicable to a pluralistic society. A third way of understanding the kingdom refers to its presence also in other religions and cultures as God's continuing activity. The kingdom in this sense transcends the Church. The concept of kingdom goes beyond the religion and culture. The church is only a historically and culturally conditioned realization of it. In promoting and serving it the church is called to realize its limitations and open out to other cultures and religions in dialogue. Through dialogue we acknowledge the presence of the kingdom in other religions. This acknowledgment and acceptance of God's presence in the other religions will really open the doors for the Hindu religion. Our closed-door attitude is one of the reasons for the Hindu fundamentalist to nurture hatred and animosity towards us.
Our narrow way of interpreting the 'Church", and the "kingdom of God" leads one to the mission of "saving of souls". In the past there was an anxiety to baptize and save as many as possible from hell fire. Now that we believe that God is reaching out to every human person in ways unknown to us, we can afford to be less anxious and ask ourselves whether the meaning of mission is not so much the saving of souls, but of being a force for the transformation of societies in view of their final fulfillment. The reinterpretation of the "kingdom of God", invites us to work for the transformation of the society, not for increasing the quantity of the Church but for a qualitative change in the society. The kingdom of God is to build a society based on the values of justice, love and truth. The kingdom of God means to establish a community of fellowship, brotherhood and sisterhood. The mission of the church is to work towards establishing the kingdom here on earth. In order to spread the kingdom, we need to work with the other religion. God's kingdom is a common platform where all the religions meet to bring about transformation in the society. The dialogue with the other religion will help us to come together to fight against all inhuman structure, and will enable us to bring a just society which the kingdom of God envisages. In order to bring the kingdom of God here on earth, we need to join hands with the other religion and fight against the anti-kingdom forces. According John Paul II, in the multi-religious society like India, the inter-religious dialogue will help the people to work together for the defense of shared human and spiritual values, and for the promotion of integral development. The dialogue will be a catalytic agent for giving sense of solidarity among all religions in their effort to fight against the militant religious fundamentalism which threatens the unity of the people of India. Finally, we could conclude saying that dialogue helps us to work with the other religion in bringing about transformation in the society and thus we can establish the kingdom of God which is a community of fellowship, brotherhood and sisterhood which Jesus envisaged.
As I conclude my paper, it is imperative that our mission is contextualized. In Asia, we live in a pluralistic context; hence our mission should be fitting to the context. In a pluralistic society, we need to take into consideration other religions, their sentiments, their theology and philosophy. The context plays a pivotal role in identifying the mission. In today's context, where the fundamentalism is gaining momentum, our mission of converting people to Christianity is questionable. We redefined our theology and mission in order to fit into the pluralistic context. In our Asian context, our mission is not saving of souls by baptizing and increasing the number, rather it is to work for the transformation of the society by joining hands with the other religion. It is also to fight against all inhuman structures and to establish the kingdom of God. In a multi-religious context, it is only in collaboration with other religions we can achieve this goal.

Just a few months ago, Zac Calhoon was a star athlete at Venice High.
A two-sport state champion (baseball and football) with an offer to play baseball for Division-I Florida Gulf Coast University later this year, Venice's Calhoon was probably best known for his athletic prowess on the field.
But now, some know him for a completely different aspect of his personality. Performing under the name Zac Ocean, Calhoon is gaining attention as a singer and songwriter.
He is a new artist whose first song, 'By Your Side,' has already been played thousands of times across music platforms such as SoundCloud, Spotify and iTunes.
A music fan who wrote some poems throughout high school, Calhoon never really gave music a shot until he began talking to family friend and hip-hop artist Brandon Nadal aka 'Sota', who got him in a studio for the first time this past winter.
"I've known Zac through his brothers since he was about 5 or 6, but I never really looked at him as someone I'd work with," said Nadal. "You always hear people say they're into music and they can rap. Ya know, my grandmother raps. So I don't really take people seriously.
"So his mom hired me for his 18th birthday to set up some speakers and play some music. So I said, 'Why not? I'll give him a shot and see what he has.'"
Nadal told Calhoon to write a couple of songs so they could work on them together at Drummer Boy Entertainment Studios in Sarasota. It didn't take long for him to realize he was on to something special.
"He just instantly had it. He has what it takes," said Nadal. "Most people say he's easy on the ears and he's not repetitive, where you can listen to a lot of songs and not want to turn it off. And he has a message to his music. He's not talking about dumb stuff.
"Literally every day for the past few months I've been networking and trying to get his song out there. I wouldn't do that if I didn't 110 percent know he could do it."
Navigating through a schedule of high school and baseball, Calhoon dedicated what free time he had to working on his music — writing, recording, listening and studying his own work.
When the high school sports season was canceled in mid March, Calhoon and Nadal were freed up to focus on releasing 'By Your Side.' Though his original intention was to address mental health issues, but after the death of George Floyd, he switched the message to one about racial equality.
"I wanted to help explain mental health and help people through some tough times, but it eventually morphed as I saw the lyrics aligning with the problems in our world today with what happened to George Floyd," said Calhoon. "I wanted to get a message out there about the issues of racism and help the movement."
Still new to the industry, Calhoon isn't quite sure what to label his genre of music. He plays a little guitar and piano and plans to take some music courses at FGCU to learn more.
"I have rap songs, I have R&B songs, I have pop songs," he said. "It depends on the day, really."
Though time to write and record is abundant right now, due to the coronavirus, soon Calhoon's schedule will be filled with schoolwork and batting practice.
With this in mind Calhoon said he's going to take a step back from releasing music, but he doesn't plan on giving up his newfound passion.
He hopes to take music courses in singing, guitar, piano, drums and producing at FGCU while studying for a business major with a minor in psychology.
And if he can excel at baseball with the Eagles, too, he doesn't plan on stopping any time soon.
But it's one step at a time for Calhoon, who only recently had his first public performance this past spring in Venice for a group of about 60-70 friends.
"I wasn't nervous, actually," Calhoon said of performing live for the first time. "It was completely natural. That's when I knew this was definitely one of my callings."

This piece is cross-posted on the Scottish Government Technologies for Learning Strategy Website.
We see a review of literature as a vital part of the work we are doing to develop the technologies for learning strategy. I wrote about the possible themes for the literature review on the 23rd of Novermber. Thank you for all your feedback by blog comments and email.
Of course, the problem with any literature review is that is only as good as the literature that you review in the first place. There is so much good stuff out there it is often impossible to track it all down.
That is where we are going to need your help. We don't want to miss anything out and we have a tiny budget to carry out this aspect of the work. The only way forward is to crowd source some of the literature and then find someone nice to help us review it…
What is the point of doing this?
Simple really, if your reading this blog post you will probably already believe that ICT in Education and Technologies for learning are important. The problem is it might not be the readers of this blog post that we have to convince? We need literature, reports and observations that can tell us how we know technologies for learning is important? What the impact of technology initiatives has been (successes and failures)? What works well and what does not work at all?
How will we do this?
Although we still need to finalize the themes for the literature review. My initial list seems to be a reasonably good start. I've taken the advice from the blog comments and emails and simplified it slightly to now just include:
- What benefits can technology bring to Learning and Teaching?
- How might technology support effective professional development?
- How might technology release efficiencies?
- What are the differences and similarities in Scotland's technological learning landscape?
I need some help now collecting sources. These could be research papers, project reports, blog posts anything that really demonstrates impact in technologies for learning.

Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 10:37 am on 4th June 2020.
The lack of leadership and transparency in Public Health England and NHS England has been shamefully exposed, with BAME health workers dying at a greater rate. Covid has showed us what it means when these institutions are not equal, with BAME workers saying that they did not have the same access to personal protective equipment as their white colleagues and felt pressured to work on the frontline. As both Public Health England and NHS England are independent, how will my hon. Friend hold them to account?

The paper suggests and develops a cascade probability method (in particular, for flows of plasma particles), the essence of which is to obtain and apply cascade probability functions (CPF) to cases of different particles. CPF is the probability of particles formed at a certain depth h′ reaching a certain depth h after i collisions. The work has considered the interaction of particles with matter; yielded the general solution for cascade probability method and a particular solution for the case of a collided particle not changing its direction and the flow rate not depending on time.

Electrophoretic deposition of yttria-stabilized zirconia for application in thermal barrier coatings
[Thesis]. Manchester, UK: The University of Manchester; 2012.
Access to files
- Â FULL-TEXT.PDFÂ (pdf)
Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has been used to produce the yttria-stabilizedzirconia (YSZ) coatings on metal substrates. Sintering of YSZ with and withoutdoping has been carried out at 1150 °C for 2hrs. The properties of these coatingshave been examined in light of thermal barrier applications.For EPD, the green density increases with an initial increase in the HCl concentrationand the EPD time. This suggests that particle packing was influenced by a timedependent re-arrangement, in addition to the initial suspension dispersion state. Thegreen density peaks at a electrical conductivity of around 10×10-4 S/m achieved byan 0.5 mM HCl addition for the 20 g/l suspensions with the EPD time of around 8 ~10 minute. For sintered coatings, the HCl concentration had a marked effect on theneck size to grain size ratio of the 8 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) coatings.The presence of ZrCl4 and ZrOCl2, and a high concentration of oxygen vacancies atthe grain boundaries are believed to promote neck growth in the early stage ofsintering at 1150 °C.During sintering of 3 mol% and 8 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (3YSZ and 8YSZ)at 1150 ºC for 2hrs, the densification rate substantially increased with a small amountof Fe2O3 addition (0.5 mol%) to the 3YSZ/8YSZ deposits. A more pronounced graingrowth was present in the Fe2O3 doped 8YSZ deposits. The increased Zr4+ diffusioncoefficient is mainly responsible to the rapid densification rate of the Fe2O3 doped3YSZ/8YSZ deposits. A small grain growth observed in the Fe2O3 doped 3YSZdeposits is attributed to the Fe3+ segregation at grain boundary. A small amount ofCeO2 doping was found to substantially inhibited densification rate of the doped3YSZ deposits with a minor grain growth.Fe2O3 doping reduced the thermal conductivities of 3YSZ/8YSZ. It is found thatRayleigh-type phonon scattering due to the mass difference alone is inadequate toexplain the thermal conductivity of Fe2O3 doped YSZ systems. The lattice straineffects due to the ionic radius difference could more effectively reduce thermalconductivity of the Fe2O3-doped 3YSZ. A decrease in the growth rate of the TGOscale with the increasing Fe2O3 additions was observed for the oxidized FeCrAlYmetal substrates with the Fe2O3-doped 3YSZ coating, which was found to beattributed to the early formation of the stable and dense α-Al2O3 phase due to thepresence of Fe3+ ions.

Bowden Makes a Change at Quarterback
|Friday, October 10, 2008 2:41 PM- -
CLEMSON -- Clemson fans have been clamoring for weeks for one of three things to happen – fire head coach Tommy Bowden, fire offensive coordinator Rob Spence, or replace starter Cullen Harper at quarterback with redshirt freshman and local favorite Willy Korn.
One of those wishes has been granted, but perhaps not the one thing most fans were asking for after last night's embarrassing loss in Winston-Salem to Wake Forest.
At a press conference Friday afternoon, head coach Tommy Bowden announced that Korn, a graduate of Byrnes High School, will start week's home game against Georgia Tech, benching pre-season ACC Player of the Year Harper, who has struggled in six games this season.
Many fans were hoping the press conference would announce the firing of one or both of the two coaches mentioned above, but the big news was that the much-heralded Korn finally gets his chance.
"We feel like we have struggled a little bit (offensively), and we need to find a spark," Bowden said to the media. "We have some injuries, and we need to evaluate our plan of attack. A mobile quarterback gives you a different look and more options.
"He runs better, so if the protection breaks down, you still have a chance to make a positive play. We have to find that spark."
The downward spiral of the Clemson football team continued Thursday night in a nationally-televised loss to Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons used a late touchdown to defeat the Tigers 12-7, dropping Clemson to 3-3 overall, but just 1-2 in the ACC Atlantic.
That loss almost surely means the Tigers have no shot at winning an ACC title this season, despite the expectations of the fans and media and a No. 9 national ranking to begin the season, and gives Korn the ability to get his feet wet without the inflated expectations of trying to lead a nationally-ranked team to an ACC title game.
The numbers for the offense in the Wake Forest game were staggering in their paltriness, with quarterback Cullen Harper completing just 15-of-35 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown, plus an interception that led to a Wake Forest field goal in the third quarter.
Running back James Davis rushed 12 times for 25 yards, while running mate C.J. logged 10 yards on just two carriers until leaving with a second quarter leg injury. Overall, the Tigers managed just 198 yards of total offense, had just 10 first downs, ran 58 offensive plays compared to 82 for the Deacons, and were just 2-of-14 on third down.
Bowden said that Harper has not been told of the switch, but coaches have been trying to reach him to break the news. In the past, Spence has been reluctant to get the second string quarterback involved in game preparations or receive meaningful snaps against a BCS team, and Bowden said that he sat down with Spence to discuss making the move, while also saying he has not lost confidence in Spence.
"I sat down with Rob, and voiced my opinions, and I think he is in agreement," Bowden said. "You are disappointed in the productivity, but he (Spence) has a three-year track record here that is fairly impressive. He did not forget how to coordinate an offense in six weeks."
Bowden said that Korn will more than likely play all of the snaps against the Yellow Jackets, even if he makes mistakes, saying, "You can't ask a redshirt freshman to go in there and not make a mistake or two."
In two games this season, Korn is 14-for-18 for 157 yards and a touchdown, and has also rushed for 18 yards.

Sessions focus on things like making professional small talk or running a meeting (trainers are provided with specifics on how to teach each topic, and are also trained themselves for two days before starting the job). Lessons take place either over the phone or on a live Internet video service like Skype — sometimes at night, because you're working with students in different time zones. You need to commit to a minimum of 20 hours a week at consistent times, and can work as many as 35 hours.
A U.K. based dating affiliate network that operates a number of mainstream and niche dating sites, including Cupid.com, Flirt.com, BoomerDating.com and PlanetSappho.com. You can promote any of these sites based upon the needs of your audience, and with so many sites to choose from, it's pretty easy for most affiliates to find at least one or two that are a good fit. Commission rates at Cupid plc can be impressive, too, with $15 paid just for free sign ups, and up to 90 percent commission paid on paid memberships.
The phrase, "Affiliates are an extended sales force for your business", which is often used to explain affiliate marketing, is not completely accurate. The primary difference between the two is that affiliate marketers provide little if any influence on a possible prospect in the conversion process once that prospect is directed to the advertiser's website. The sales team of the advertiser, however, does have the control and influence up to the point where the prospect either a) signs the contract, or b) completes the purchase.

The District Court of Nevada has found that Adrenaline Sports' use of the mark WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS infringes the use by The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority ("Convention Authority") of the slogan WHAT HAPPENS HERE STAYS HERE.
In December of 2002, the Convention Authority launched its "Vegas Stories" advertising campaign. All of the commercials ended with a display of the words WHAT HAPPENS HERE STAYS HERE. In April of 2003, defendants began using the mark WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS and obtained a Nevada state registration for the trademark.
In looking at all the Sleekcraft factors, the court found that while the marks are not identical, the terms "here" and "in Vegas" are interchangeable, particularly in light of the fact that in this case, both phrases relate unequivocally to Las Vegas. "Consumers who purchase Defendant's clothing are not likely to stop and consider the difference between 'Here' and 'In Vegas' before deciding the purchase such clothing." Thus, even though other factors (including the marketing channels for the two marks) are distinct, the similarities in the marks coupled with the level of care a purchaser might expend in buying schwag, confusion was likely.

It would be good to be able to set required deal stages for a pipeline. For example; a pipeline for 'New business' (prosects that are not yet customers), it would be good to force the sales team to add a deal at the first stage then have to progress it through every stage until won/lost. Then every deal will show in the deal stage funnel report and allow us to measure sales performance.

Nearly 25 years ago, Jerry Rawlings, the president of Ghana at the time, presented a document to parliament. In it, he outlined an aggressive long-term plan that would improve his country's human and economic growth, rural and urban development, as well as overhaul its infrastructure. The aim was to follow Singapore's example. The document was called Vision 2020.
According to Rawling's vision, Singapore had transformed itself from a third-world country in the 1960s to a middle-income country in a short time. However, whereas the International Monetary Fund (IMF) lists Singapore as the third-richest country per capita on the planet, Ghana is languishing down at number 126. The vision appears to have badly stalled.
"We are in 2020, the time that we wanted to achieve a level of growth that is comparable to Singapore, but we have worse figures," Ziblim Alhassan, a Ghanaian policy analyst, told DW.
While the west African nation has managed to reduce its poverty rate in the past decades, the increased standard of living is not evenly distributed. Ziblim Alhassan said the number of Ghanaians living in extreme poverty has increased.
The 2017 Ibrahim Index of African Governance shows that although Ghana remains among the 10 top-scoring countries on the continent in terms of democracy and good governance, it is also among the 10 countries that have deteriorated the most economically over the last decade.
Rwanda is the only country in sub-Saharan Africa that has come close to emulating Singapore's rags-to-riches story, albeit not in the same spectacular style.
The small landlocked central African nation boasts years of strong economic growth, pristine streets in the capital Kigali and donor praise for fighting corruption. "Beating the odds is a challenge we Rwandans and Singaporeans share," Rwanda's President Paul Kagame told Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsein Loong, the son of Lee Kuan Yew, on a visit to the Asian state in 2008. Kagame referred to Singapore as "an inspiration for us in Rwanda," Reuters reported then.
Critics of Kagame's government argue that economic gains have come at the cost of political freedoms like a clampdown on dissenting views and media rights. Kagame has been president of Rwanda since 2000. By contrast, Ghana has peacefully exchanged power in four presidencies.

Proud to be the First Choice Scaffolding Erectors in Redhill
Searching for reliable scaffolding erectors active in the Redhill area? You've come to the right place. Croydon Scaffolding is the top choice amongst local scaffolding companies. We provide affordable, bespoke scaffolding services to domestic, commercial and industrial clients. Should you wish to get a free quote, or simply discuss your requirements with our friendly professionals, pick up the phone and call 020 8640 8577. In the article below, we've looked at a handful of the essential dos and don'ts regarding working on scaffolding structures.
The Dos and Don'ts of Working on Scaffolding
Do adhere to the scaffolding's capacity. Every structure put up by scaffolding erectors such as our own, who cover Redhill and all surrounding areas, has a strict maximum capacity. If this exceeded, you could be placing your life in danger – as well as risk the lives of others, and damage to all surrounding property.
Don't use the wrong scaffolding for the job. It's essential you sound out professional scaffolding companies and have a bespoke structure designed and installed for the specific purposes you require it. Many accidents in Redhill and the surrounding areas have occurred because people have used a scaffold for something it wasn't intended for; people stretch to reach for a ledge or have to balance awkwardly, and it's all downhill from there!
Do use all the appropriate safety gear, at all times. We ourselves take a strict approach to use of safety gear when providing scaffolding services in and around Redhill: gloves, helmets, work boots, hi-vis jackets and goggles must be used as and when appropriate. When working on the finished scaffolding, you should too! Otherwise, you risk serious injury or even a fatal fall.
Don't goof around. Working at height is serious business; there are few subsections of the construction industry with as high injury and fatality rates. While these have been falling (no pun intended) for many years due to improved legislation and best practice, scaffolding companies like our own still hear horror stories of people playing around at height… it's not worth the risk.
For more advice or to get a quote on the scaffolding services we provide in the Redhill area, pick up the phone and call our qualified scaffolding erectors on 020 8640 8577!

This is an article that most other website developers probably don't want you to read. The reason is that most other web designers basically like to think of themselves as all-powerful wizards with magical powers. And they use complex technical jargon and terminology to intimidate and mystify their clients into thinking that what they do is more complex than it is.
The truth is, when you're assembling like a furniture, you're not a professional furniture builder, and therefore the quality and the output is not going to be as good. And that metaphor applies to website design. Most people are not professional digital marketers or designers or understand user personas, or how to get traffic, or any of those things. And so, not only are you using all of your time to build the website but then you're not getting as high-quality an output as you would as if you just hired someone who did that full time.
Seyfarth's ADA Title III team consists of attorneys with extensive experience in ADA Title III litigation located in many offices across the United States, including California where plaintiffs are most active. With additional litigators admitted to practice in virtually every jurisdiction in the country, we have the resources to defend our clients against lawsuits and investigations on a nationwide basis and provide consistent and efficient service in national engagements. We have successfully defended against or resolved hundreds of lawsuits brought under Title III of the ADA and applicable state laws.
In some circumstances, longer and more detailed text will be necessary to convey the same meaningful information that other visitors to the website can see. For example, a map showing the locations of neighborhood branches of a city library needs a tag with much more information in text format. In that instance, where the map conveys the locations of several facilities, add a "longdesc" tag that includes a text equivalent description of each location shown on the map – e.g., "City Center Library, 433 N. Main Street, located on North Main Street between 4th Avenue and 5th Avenue."
The need to make websites, mobile apps, and other online properties accessible to all is only going to increase as time moves on. Smart business owners will do well to get in front of this issue and make sure that their websites are ADA compliant now so that all their customers have the equal access to the resources they offer. Not just because they want to avoid a lawsuit or government action, but because it's the right thing to do.
If you use outside resources for your web needs, or have a dedicated web person or company, call them immediately. If you have a department or staff, even better. But— if you are working on your own, you would do yourself and your business a favor to contact a reputable web developer to discuss how to make your site accessible and avoid possible lawsuits. The older your website, the more likely it is that it is NOT compliant. Take action now!
"The idea of equal access, equal opportunity has sort of evolved in its application from brick and mortar to eCommerce. At first, many companies were worried about the desktop experience. Now, the concern extends to both smart phones and devices. Wherever a consumer accesses your content – whether it be directly through the web or an app – you need to be concerned about accessibility."
