Sunday Law News Report - Ecumenical Movement

Order: Reorder
Duration: 4:37
Updated: 03 Nov 2013

http://AdventBible.com - A recent news report states that in addition to the usual mix of Anglicans, Lutherans and Methodists, the Pope astonishingly met Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus in his continuing efforts to form a one world religion. Prophecy is being filled before our very eyes! The two visible "councils" that are involved in pushing the inter-faith, ecumenical movement are the "World Council of Churches" and the "National Council of Churches." Together with the Roman Catholic Church, these church councils are bringing more and more denominations on board with this movement. Before, we saw through telescopes the National Sunday Law appearing on the distant horizon. Then a few years ago we saw it coming by by looking through ordinary binoculars. Now we don't even need eyeglasses to see a National Sunday Law rushing down upon us.

Mission Plenary, WCC 10th Assembly

Order: Reorder
Duration: 110:23
Updated: 06 Nov 2013

This is a recording of the Mission Plenary at the WWC 10th Assembly 2013, Busan, Republic of Korea. The plenary aspires to highlight the common challenges and opportunities for mission, in light of the new global developments. It offers an action-oriented reflection based on the new WCC mission statement, Together towards Life: Mission and Evangelism in Changing Landscapes, so as to enhance ecumenical cooperation on future mission work, addressing churches and ecumenical partners to commit anew to the call for common witness. The plenary will comprise of three reflections and two short videos. The session also includes an interval with a performance as creative contextual reference. The three reflections will address: first, the pneumatological aspect of mission in the presence of the life-giving Spirit; a theological approach will emphasize the dynamic, transformative aspect of mission in the Spirit. Second, the new ways of witnessing together to the Gospel of life; in responding to the needs of our time it is essential to explore and point to concrete action points. Third, the holistic view of mission towards fullness of life in justice and peace; concrete life-affirming changes that mission has contributed will be illustrated. Acknowledging the importance of including interreligious dialogue in the mission plenary, the intention is to make reference to this aspect through each of the above three reflections. The first video is a CWME production focusing on mission in changing landscapes. The second video comes from two CWME partners and shares inspiring contextual examples of "successful paradigms" on mission work. The messages and greetings from Rt. Rev. Bishop Dr. Munib A.

Asia Plenary, WCC 10th Assembly

Order: Reorder
Duration: 105:57
Updated: 05 Nov 2013

This is a recording of the Asia Plenary at the WWC 10th Assembly 2013, Busan, Republic of Korea. The Asia Plenary will seek to present a distinct interpretation of the theme, "God of life, lead us to justice and peace" that reflects the universal desire of all humanity for the fullness of life lived and nourished in peace that is accompanied by justice. The theme has significance for the dialogue of life beyond Christian communities. This characteristic allows for the multi-faith experiences and diverse wisdoms of Asia to inform the interpretation of the theme, lending it new perspectives and content. While noting the multi- faith context in which the theme can and should be prayed by Asian Christians, the plenary will seek to present how the theme is understood and interpreted in the lives of the communities and churches of Asia within their distinctive context. By presenting the ways in which the Christians are creatively responding to the challenges of injustice, the provocations toward violence and the stifling of life the plenary will attempt to inspire the participants of the 10th Assembly to think together of how the Asian reality is expressed in their own experiences, and how the spirit of solidarity might strengthen our common initiatives for fostering life, justice and peace through our mutual participation and contribution to the ecumenical movement. In addition, the plenary will hopefully provide insights that can inform creative ways of praying, "God of life, lead us to justice and peace" in the different contextual realities of the participants.
