Estimating the Economic Boost of Marriage for Same-Sex Couples in MichiganBy Justin O'Neill, Christy Mallory, M.V. Lee BadgettAugust 2014Extending marriage to same-sex couples in Michigan would generate an estimated $53.2 million in spending to the state economy. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the most recent data available, 14,598 same-sex couples live in Michigan. Of those couples, the Institute estimates that fifty percent (7,299 couples) would choose to marry in the first three years, a pattern that has been observed in Massachusetts and elsewhere. The marriages that would occur in the first year alone would bring over $34.1 million in revenue to the state of Michigan that year.
Same-sex Couples in Michigan: A demographic summaryBy Gary J. GatesJune 2014Based on Census 2010, there are 14,598 same-sex couples living in Michigan. These couples were identified in the vast majority of Michigan's counties. The majority of same-sex couples are female (57%). The average age of individuals in same-sex couples in Michigan is more than nine years younger than that of different-sex married couples—42.6 and 51.9 years old, respectively. Approximately 2,650 same-sex couples raising children in Michigan.

Gave this ring to my husband and he LOVES it. Ironically enough he said to me that it was so comfortable which made the product title more appropriate. Very classy piece of jewelry and looks perfect when my husband is more dressed up & even when he's in casual attire. Nice alternate piece of jewelry to his yellow gold wedding band.
My husband to be builds staircases for a living and we were looking for a strong ring for him to wear when we get married, in September. This ring is perfect and thanks to your easy return policy we have just the right fit. Thank you
I had picked another wedding band for my husband, but there were too many shipping delays and I had to switch to plan B. I found this ring on overstock and due to the low price, was extremely skeptical about the quality of the product. I was running out of time and just finally decided to take a chance. I ordered the ring and it came in very quickly (sooner than promised on the website) and was absolutely gorgeous. My husband loved it!
This is the second time I have ordered this ring. The first ring was ordered 3 years ago & my husband said that it was the most comfortable ring he has ever worn. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depends on how you look at it) he lost some weight & the old ring became too loose & came off while he was surfing (not the first wedding ring he has lost). He immediately requested a replacement ring of the same style (just in a smaller size).
I was a bit wary ordering online...but the price was unbelievable! Every store I went into, looking for a single groove Tungsten Ring, they were asking ***. But the quality of this ring is no different than retail stores. I am thrilled! I purchased this ring for my husbands birthday, and it's exactly what he wanted. He's been wearing it a few weeks now, and not a scratch on it. Thanks!
I bought this for my husband. He has very large knuckles so finding a nice ring that would fit for a good price was difficult. It fits beautifully is true to size and he loves it.
This ring looks so much better in person. Great price. 1/2 size smaller fits perfectly. Comfort fit band feels great. I would highly recommend this ring
I purchased this for my husband as his wedding band. He loves it. It doesn't get scratched, dinged, dented, etc. It maintains its luster quite well, and buff it on a t-shirt, its good as new. Considering that he works outdoors, this material is superb. Note on this particular ring, it is a comfort fit band! Make sure you order the 0.5 size down from what the jeweler measured. I learned that the hard way and ended up ordering this one twice!

Parliament of Religions Calls Faith Communities to Actively Oppose War, Blockade of Gaza, Anti-Semitism & Islamophobia to Protect Israeli and Palestinian Lives
The Parliament of the World's Religions grieves whenever violence and conflict flares, as is now occurring in Palestine and Israel. Grief, however, must not paralyze faith communities and the interfaith movement into silence and inaction. Instead, we are called to serve as moderating agents in the cause of sustainable justice, unconditional compassion, and enduring peace by raising our voices against those who seek the annihilation of their enemies.
The Parliament, therefore, asks religious and spiritual communities across the globe, and the interfaith movement specifically, to be vocal and active in:
- calling both sides to end the war in an ethical manner, including the ending of the seven-year blockade of Gaza, with borders monitored by the United Nations to ensure safety for Israelis as well as Palestinians
- asking world leaders to take concrete steps, with urgency, to ensure the freedom, self-determination, security, and equal rights for Palestinians and Israelis
- calling the United Nations to ensure that both sides abide by international laws and human right accords in safeguarding civilians, with special attention given to children
- requesting both sides to recognize the humanity of the other and to honor their sacred spaces
The Parliament of the World's Religions encourages all faith communities and especially the interfaith movement to actively expose and challenge anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in their neighborhoods, cities, and in the public discourse. Let us be moderating voices and agents that will revitalize the dialogue and cooperation between Jews, Christians, and Muslims. This mission should be a part of our sermons, prayers, and civic action.
This statement was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Parliament by a majority vote.
Parliament Trustee Arun Gandhi Condemns Violence in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Everywhere
By Arun Gandhi
The Parliament of World Religions condemns all forms of violence any where in the world. While the world claims to be progressing toward civilization, the actions of brutal ethnic violence in Sri Lanka and Myanmar, as well as in other parts of the world, must be strongly condemned by all peace-loving people.
Growing intolerance, widening disparities, a life-style of exploitation, a burgeoning armament industry freely producing and selling weapons of mass destruction, are all the kinds of fuel that ignite people's imagination for violence. Sri Lanka and Myanmar are the latest flash-points on the world map where ethnic violence has taken many innocent lives. But the world as a whole lives on the edge of the precipice of conflagration fueled by ethnic, economic, political, religious, national, gender and many other issues that become more contentious by the day.
It is important for all of us to understand that the path of hate and destruction destroys the very things we seek to preserve. Religious beliefs, economic progress, security and sanctity of life can only be enjoyed and preserved for future generations by respect, understanding, harmony and compassion.
The world community cannot ignore the strife in parts of the world because it does not affect us immediately. What happens in one place today will happen all over tomorrow. We are all sitting on a tinder box of intolerance that only needs a spark to ignite.
There are two main reasons for this state of affairs in the world. As Mohandas K. Gandhi said many decades ago: the more materialistic we aspire to be the less moral we become. This is reflected in the seven social sins that Gandhi said leads to violence in humanity. The world is guilty of indulging in politics without principles, in commerce without morality, in science without humanity, in religion without respect.
Massacres of people in the name of God and religion have become the norm with events like those in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and many other parts of the world. These events are not aberrations, they are a reflection of the unmitigated religious bigotry exacerbated by political chicanery.
It is this kind of religion-political exploitation and abuse that the Parliament of World Religions seeks to change. Religions is not how many times we pray, but how sincere and truthful we are in practicing our beliefs in real life and relationships.
Arun Manalil Gandhi, Born 1934 in Durban South Africa, Arun was sent by his parents to India when he was 12 years old so that he could live with and learn from his grandfather, Mohandas Gandhi. It was then that young Gandhi learned the principles of non-violence that he continues to espouse until today. Dr. Gandhi spent much of his adult life in India working as a journalist and promoting social and economic changes for the poor and the oppressed classes. Along with his wife Sunanda he rescued about 128 orphaned and abandoned children from the streets and placed them in loving homes around the world. They also began a Center for Social Change which transformed the lives of millions in villages in the western state of Maharashtra. In 1987 Arun came to the United States and in 1991 he started the M. K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence at the Christian Brothers University in Memphis, Tennessee. In 2007, the Institute was moved to the University of Rochester, New York. In 2008 Arun resigned from the Institute to begin the Gandhi Worldwide Education Institute, with its mission to build basic education schools for the very poor children of the world. The first school will open shortly in a depressed village in western India (www.gandhiforchildren.org). Arun Gandhi has taken the message of nonviolence and peace-making to hundreds of thousands of high school and university youth around the United States and much of the Western world. His publications include The Legacy of Love; The Forgotten Woman: The Life of Kastur, wife of Gandhi, and several others.
The Parliament and URI Call for Peace and Prayers in Africa
As our united prayers continue for the peoples of the Central African Republic, Nigeria, and Kenya, we now mourn the lives lost through escalating acts of violence throughout the continent.
The global interfaith communities of URI and the Parliament call for love and solidarity to bring our human family closer and to hold our guiding institutions accountable to ending violence.
"We send strength and resolve to our sisters and brothers who work fearlessly in the face of present danger, and offer our support to the interfaith and community-building efforts we know will bring peace and healing to these regions," said United Religions Initiative's Executive Director the Rev. Victor H. Kazanijan, Jr. in a statement after bombings in the regions of Western and Central Africa this past week.
On behalf of the Parliament, Executive Director Dr. Mary Nelson says, "We call on the common values of love and compassion that arise out of our faith to respond in these positive ways to strengthen and support those who are seeking healing. We pray for the peacemakers, the Muslims and Christians in African nations bravely banding together in the face of violence, upholding faith and their moral will to protect one another."
The Parliament and URI acknowledge that acts of terrorism and violence run counter to the teachings of peace, love and tolerance that lie at the root of all religious and spiritual traditions.
The global interfaith community welcomes all praying for peace to join us in solidarity.
Religious Advisers Supporting Spiritually Diverse Students Aid Interfaith in U.S. Universities
At a time when inviting advisers to serve students of minority faiths at many U.S universities is still making headlines, the University of Chicago has just appointed its third successive Religious Advisor to Pagan students.
Of her new appointment, Rev. Angie Buchanan, who is a Trustee Emeritus of the Parliament, says in a statement to popular Pagan platform WildHunt,
Having a Pagan advisor on staff at a prestigious university such as the University of Chicago supports the mainstream recognition that opens up opportunities and freedoms already available to the practitioners of other religious traditions. It also helps secure the establishment of Paganism as a world religion.
Assistant Dean of Chicago's Rockefeller Chapel Jigna Shah says paying effort to supporting spiritual diversity is a long-established value of the University she herself experienced personally. In being named the first non-Christian to a deanship role at the Chapel three years ago, Shah reflects, "I am honored and humbled. I take my appointment very seriously and with great responsibility in continuing efforts to diversify and reflect the rich spiritual landscape of our campus."
Context can be complex in these matters, and an absence of non-Abrahamic faiths in the chaplaincy does not always reflect of a university's attention to spiritual life and student affairs. Still, in 2011, there were only 30 Muslim Chaplains serving in U.S. universities according to various media, and other prestigious universities were still inviting Hindu advisers to serve students for the first time.
By November 2013, Brandeis University brought in its first non-Abrahamic adviser to the campus chaplaincy after student appeal and expanding celebrations of Diwali and Holi in the appointment of their first Hindu advisor.
Rallying for the Muslim Students Association at Pennsylvania-based Swarthmore University, Hillel's Jewish students and campus Christian groups are currently imploring administration to recognize a permanent staff position to advise Muslim students, citing their own benefits from their respective spiritual advisers, also crediting the presence of a temporary Muslim adviser a prevailing reason interfaith activity on campus flourished this year.
Buchanan couldn't say it better. "With the growing ease of international travel and the advent of the internet and social media, the world is getting smaller. In the United States, we have populations within populations; there are hospitals, prisons, schools and universities, and even social, political, business and special interest groups.
"I believe that as a culture we are recognizing the need for a diverse set of spiritual advisors in multiple environments, and we are beginning to embrace a positive attitude regarding the diversity of religious traditions co-existing in society."
With an expanded presence of interfaith organizing on college campuses, fostering increased collaborations among staff and students will strengthen actions and overall impact of the movement.
Religious communities and student groups at University of Chicago continue to nominate new advisers for recognition by the University's Office of Spiritual Life. This year, the office also welcomes Charles Nolley as the first advisor to serve Baha'i students.
The Parliament stands in deep respect to Nolley, who holds the achievement of helping bring the 1993 Parliament to fruition as an early Board Chair, and who undoubtedly lit a fire for interfaith now so imperative to the national higher education system.
How Drinking from Alien Spiritual Wells Has Enriched My Life
By Dr. Rob Sellers
Parliament Trustee
For more than a decade, my life as a Christian has been enriched and my commitment to the Christ Way deepened through my study of the world's great religions and my relationships with many followers of other faiths. To use a biblical metaphor, there have been times when my soul was parched and I drew water—thirst-quenching and invigorating—from these "alien wells."
Someone might ask why a Christ follower would willingly seek spiritual refreshment from "foreign" wells. I've thought about that theological question and discovered several good answers. The biblical passage which informs me is found in John 4 in the story of Jesus's journey through Samaria, where he stopped to rest at the ancient well Jacob had built in alien, Canaanite territory, near Sychar. It astonished his disciples that he would drink from a Samaritan well and, moreover, that he would befriend a Samaritan woman, especially one with a bad reputation. But Jesus had not hesitated to stop beside that alien well, to quench his thirst from it, and to engage one who regularly drank that water. I believe that it is appropriate to suggest that the story of Jesus at the well in Sychar serves as a biblical model for his disciples, including each of us.
Why indeed shall we seek to quench our thirst with water from alien wells?
Of course, if I were simply talking about literal wells and actual water, we could easily conclude the matter by saying that when we are thirsty, it doesn't matter where in the world we might be. If we have a way to draw from the well in a foreign place and the water will not make us sick, we will readily drink from it to quench our thirst. But speaking metaphorically and not literally, the issues become more complex. Whether or not we drink from this alien well does not simply depend upon access to it or the purity of its water.
Jesus used water metaphorically in his conversation with the Samaritan woman, speaking of "living water" that "springs up to eternal life." He clearly takes the literal well and actual water and uses them to shift the conversation to spiritual thirst. And so the question becomes whether or not "life-giving resources" can be drawn from other spiritual wells.
Here are some convincing reasons from several Christian scholars and writers who argue that other religions and their adherents may indeed provide us with spiritually stimulating and energizing water.
The first reason is expressed by Benedictine abbess, popular lecturer, and prolific spirituality writer Joan Chittister, who suggests that our common humanity justifies our drawing from other wells. She writes:
Whatever the distinctions of time, place, and culture, whatever the time and place in which we have lived, we are all human beings—just human beings, wherever and whenever we live, subject to the same emotional limits, dealing with the same range of emotional responses. . . . We have at our fingertips . . . a reservoir of wisdom as broad as the sky, as deep as history. [For e]ach great spiritual tradition, in its own way, suggests a model of what it means to be a holy person (Chittister, xi, xiv).
A second reason for drawing from "alien wells" comes from one of the world's foremost ecotheologians, Jay McDaniel, a Christian pluralist who teaches at Hendrix College, not so far from us in Conway, Arkansas. McDaniel suggests that we should drink from other wells because our own water may be less than pure. He says,
Many people in different religions are realizing that the water is polluted, and that in order to cease polluting it, they need not only to dig within their own heritages for help but also to learn from other religions (McDaniel, 140).
Is it any wonder that an ecotheologian would advocate the benefit of searching for new sources of "water"? Simply looking at Christian history, or at the questionable beliefs of some contemporary Christian groups, leads me to agree with McDaniel that our own spiritual water is not always healthy.
A third reason for drawing water from other spiritual wells comes from ordained Methodist minister and professor, Martin Forward. His observation is not original, yet certainly bears repeating. Forward says that our fractured world desperately yearns for religious people to share with one another. He notes:
Although people of distinct religions have lived alongside each other for centuries, the modern world has added a special urgency to the need to do so respectfully and knowledgeably, since we now possess the means of destroying the whole created order. [Thus,] one hopes that respect for and knowledge of the "other" will lead humankind away from the abyss (Forward, 1).
Cardinal Newman—the 19th-century Anglican Oxford don who became a Roman Catholic and was nominated for sainthood by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010—famously exclaimed: "Oh, how we hate one another for the love of God" (Quoted in Smith, 250).
A fourth reason for drawing water from alien spiritual wells comes from Matthew Fox, Dominican priest and writer "silenced" by the Vatican for his Creation Spirituality, and who now serves as an Episcopal priest. In one of his 20 books, One River, Many Wells, Fox argues that the source of water in all the wells is the very same Divine River. James 1:17 calls this common "River" the "Father of Lights," who—according to John 1:9—"gives light to everyone." In response to this common source of spiritual water, Fox proposes that we practice "Deep Ecumenism." To explain what he means by the term, he says:
I begin with an observation from Meister Eckhart, who says that "Divinity is an Underground river that no one can stop and no one can dam up." There is one underground river—but there are many wells into that river: an African well, a Taoist well, a Buddhist well, a Jewish well, a Muslim well, a goddess well, a Christian well, and aboriginal wells. Many wells but one river. To go down a well is to practice a tradition, but we would make a grave mistake (an idolatrous one) if we confused the well itself with the flowing waters of the underground river. Many wells, one river. That is Deep Ecumenism (Fox, 4-5).
A final reason I mention for drawing from alien wells comes from a retired Presbyterian professor, W. Eugene March, who has spoken at one of the programs of the Abilene Interfaith Council. Marsh not only thinks we Christians should draw from diverse spiritual wells, but believes that the multiplicity of wells may actually be God's good idea. He provocatively writes:
The diversity within our world is something most of us take for granted. There are in the neighborhood of fifty million species of plants and animal life currently to be found, and it is estimated that perhaps as many as fifty billion have existed at one time or another across the long lifespan of our world. . . .So why should there not be different religions? Why should we be surprised or troubled by the reality of different ways to express spirituality? Since diversity seems to be the norm in creation, by analogy a pluralism of religious responses among the people of the world is reasonable to expect (March, 18-19).
Now, what has so profoundly touched my own life in these recent years has not simply been the academic awareness of the good reasons to draw from alien wells and to develop relationships with those who drink those waters, but the actual spiritual practice of doing that interfaith engagement. And, no place has been more fulfilling—or filling—than the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions, on whose Board of Trustees and Executive Committee I am privileged to work. May I mention just a few of the spiritual wells and those who draw water from them that have made me a better Christian?
First, I think of my friend Andras Arthen, a Spanish-born immigrant American who is director of the EarthSpirit Community, representing particularly the indigenous European pagan traditions. Andras (pictured on my right, in a meeting this past year in Guadalajara), with his "earth-centered" religious beliefs, has helped to deepen my conscious gratitude for the earth and has strengthened my resolve to care for it as a steward of our gracious Creator God.
I am grateful, also, for Kirit Daftary (pictured on my left), a Jain and president of Anuvibha of North America—a United Nations NGO dedicated to working for non-violence and following the teachings of its spiritual master, Acharya Mahapragya Ji. I've noted how Kirit, the extremely busy owner of his own manufacturing company, frequently goes on pilgrimage or retreat in India to serve and learn from his teacher whenever he can. His dedication to being with his spiritual master challenges my busyness and too frequent excuse-making whenever I am given opportunity to retreat with my Lord.
I have learned from Phyllis Curott, Wiccan priestess, author, and attorney from New York City. The commitment of Wiccans to women—especially to those who have been marginalized, abused, and forgotten—has led Phyllis to leadership in the Women's Task Force of the Parliament.
Whether speaking at Rockefeller Chapel of the University of Chicago (pictured here) or arranging women's conferences at the United Nations, she works voluntarily on behalf of others in a way that inspires and instructs me about believing in and championing the rights of women as God's beloved children.
Finally I mention Imam Malik Mujahid, my Muslim brother in Chicago, who chairs the Parliament Board and is constantly working for peace among the religions. Recently chosen as one of the 500 most influential Muslims in the world, Malik juggles his global travels and peace-making missions with his own enterprise in Chicago and with his leadership of our Board. Yet, wherever I've been with him, he always excuses himself from discussions when it is time to pray (pictured here, several months ago in Salt Lake City). His dedication to communicating with God, no matter the circumstance, teaches me what it means to be thirsty for God.
"Alien Wells and Those Who Draw from Them"—these are such important resources for our own spiritual growth. Yes, we too have vibrant, living water to share from our own well with these friends of ours. And we must certainly do that whenever appropriate or invited. But I cannot think of any reason why we shouldn't also be willing to linger at their wells. It just might be that when we are especially parched and impoverished in spirit, that their cup of cold water may refresh our souls!

The Future of Jewish-Muslim Relations on College Campuses: Hope or Hopeless?
by Imam Abdullah T. Antepli
I'm one of only 11 full-time Muslim chaplains on a U.S. university campus, serving at Duke University. It's the only place I know where it's kosher and halal to pray for "the Devils." If one looks for an overarching identity where political, sectarian and religious differences disappear, look toward college basketball. Israeli-Palestinian conflicts are a piece of cake. But the Duke-UNC rivalry, there is no hope.
Unfortunately, the future of Judaism and Islam on American college campuses is not a sports rivalry where it's trophies that are at stake. I see urgency around Jewish-Muslim relations in general, and in particular on college campuses in the United States.
I have great admiration for leaders like Pope John Paul II and John XXIII – these men moved mountains in repairing Christian-Jewish relations. Christian anti-Semitism took its theological strength from core teachings of Christianity. Unlike Christian anti-Semitism, anti-Semitism in the Muslim world isn't rooted in Islamic theology and was never fed through core Islamic teachings.
But as anti-Semitism grows in the Muslim world, fueled by political problems in the Middle East, Muslim anti-Semitism is taking root as people turn to Muslim theology to try to find scripture and history that provides religious legitimacy for despicable hate messages.
I know, because I am one of the victims of that anti-Semitism. I'm often asked, "Why are you so obsessed with Jews? Why are you so tirelessly trying to improve Jewish-Muslim relations?" Growing up in Turkey, the first book that I read about Jews and Judaism was at the age of 12 or 13 — a children's version of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It was very sophisticated propaganda that put modern pictures of Israeli-Palestinian conflict and atrocities atop verses from the Torah and other Jewish teachings, in an attempt to prove the inherent evil of Judaism.. Not every single Muslim is born and raised as an anti-Semite. But it's not uncommon.
I spent a number of years believing that something is innately, irredeemably wrong about Jews and Judaism. But believing in a God of love and God of mercy and compassion, I was able to go through a life journey that removed that poison from my system. I still consider myself a recovering anti-Semite because old habits die hard and modern challenges keep scratching the old wounds.
Rising bigotry is not unique nor is it one-way. Islamaphobia among the Jewish community is increasing, too, poisoning many Jewish hearts and minds and taking deep root here in the U.S. as well as other parts of the world.
As Muslims and Jews, we have every reason to be worried about the future of our religions. Vis-à-vis Jewish-Muslim relations, we have every reason to do all that we can to build bridges between our communities. As Jews and Muslims it is in our self-interest.
I see the 20th century as the time when world Jewry came to terms and reconciled with Christianity. I see the 21st century as the time Jews and Judaism can come to terms and reconcile with the global Muslim community.
That brings a moral imperative to America's shores. Yes, anti-Semitism may be poisoning Muslims around the world and it's changing us for the worse. But it is American Muslims and American Jews who must model what the 21st century will look like. We live in a country with influence and civil liberties; on college campuses in particular, Jews and Muslims have the room to exemplify a fruitful Jewish-Muslim engagement for the rest of the U.S., world Jewry, and the Ummah, the Muslim world.
An important place to start is to diversify our sources of information about each other. I invite you to consider, when does Islam as a religion and Muslims as people come to your attention? Or when do Jews, Judaism and Israel come to Muslim attention?
When it comes to information on college campuses, we have to stop inviting fringe speakers who only serve to firm up extremist images of the other. There also needs to be bilateral Jewish-Muslim conversation. Interreligious sharing is wonderful, but Jews and Muslims share similarities, a common history, as well as similar theological and judicial foundations. Bi-lateral discussions, especially on U.S. college campuses, are a must if we are to be an urgently needed light for the world.
A Voice from Sinai is calling on American Jews and American Muslims, "If there's going to be any reconciliation, any coming to terms, it will be you. You will exemplify this to the rest of the world."

The Man of the Year and the Joy of the Gospel: Thoughts on Evangelii Gaudium of Pope Francis
This synopsis of the Evangelii Gaudium of Pope Francis was composed by Trustee of the Parliament of the World's Religions, Dr. Leo D. Lefebure. Part 1 emphasizes the mission of the Catholic Church in the world, and Lefebure explores Pope Francis' stance on Interreligious Relations in part 2.
This week, Time Magazine announced its selection of Pope Francis as the Man of the Year for 2013, commenting: "Rarely has a new player on the world stage captured so much attention so quickly—young and old, faithful and cynical—as has Pope Francis.
In his nine months in office, he has placed himself at the very center of the central conversations of our time: about wealth and poverty, fairness and justice, transparency, modernity, globalization, the role of women, the nature of marriage, the temptations of power." (Read more: The Choice: Nancy Gibbs on Why Pope Francis Is TIME's Person of the Year 2013 | TIME.com)
Earlier, on Nov. 24, 2013, Pope Francis issued an Apostolic Exhortation, the first of his Pontificate, and the first major statement of his program. The great theme of Pope Francis is expressed in the title: Evangelii Gaudium, The Joy of the Gospel. For Francis, this is the central Christian response to God's coming into our lives. In the Catholic tradition, popes regularly promulgate an Apostolic Exhortation in the wake of a particular Synod of Bishops; but rarely if ever has an Apostolic Exhortation aroused the type of interest, both positive and negative, that The Joy of the Gospel has evoked.
I. The Mission of the Church in the World
Despite the overarching tone of joy, Pope Francis has grave concerns about the world today. At the beginning of the Apostolic Exhortation, he sets forth a stark warning:
The great danger in today's world, pervaded as it is by consumerism, is the desolation and anguish born of a complacent yet covetous heart, the feverish pursuit of frivolous pleasures, and a blunted conscience. Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor. God's voice is no longer heard, the quiet joy of his love is no longer felt, and the desire to do good fades (#2).
Francis laments that too often Christians do not witness to the joy and beauty of the Gospel. He calls for Christians to witness to the Gospel not by proselytization but rather by attraction through living lives of joy and beauty (#15). He endorses the "way of beauty" (#167). Francis warns: "There are Christians whose lives seem like Lent without Easter" (#6). While he is aware of the difficult times in all lives, he trusts: "Joy adapts and changes, but it always endures, even as a flicker of light born of our personal certainty that, when everything is said and done, we are infinitely loved" (#6). The ancient prophet Zephanaiah promised that God will rejoice over us as at a festival, and so Pope Francis tells us evangelizers should not look like they are coming from a funeral!
The basis of the mission is the love of God that comes to Christians a sheer gift and offers us friendship with God, who brings us beyond ourselves, frees us from our narrowness and self-absorption. Francis invokes the ancient principle: "Goodness tends to spread" (9). He quotes from the document issued by the Fifth General Conference of the Latin American and Caribbean Bishops in Aparecida, Brazil, in 2007, which he had a major role in drafting: "Life grows by being given away, and it weakens in isolation and comfort. Those who enjoy life most are those who leave security on the shore and become excited by the mission of communicating life to others" (#10).
Francis calls Christians to reach out to everyone without exclusion, stressing what is beautiful, grand, appealing, and most necessary (#35). He recalls that Thomas Aquinas taught that mercy is the greatest of all virtues and should be at the center of the presentation of the Gospel (#37). Francis calls Christians to be like the Prodigal Father in the parable (#46). He tells us that "the Church is not a tollhouse; it is the house of the Father, where there is room for everyone, with all their problems" (#47).
Francis affirms that the Church has a mission to all, especially to the poor. Francis repeats to all of us what he used to tell the priests and people of Buenos Aires: "I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security" (#49). He notes that the call of Jesus echoes through the centuries to us:
"Give them something to eat" (Mk 6:37; #49).
Francis also reflects on the economic structures that perpetuate poverty. He questions why we worry more about the stock market going down by a few points than about the poor who die on the streets. He recalls the commandment not to kill as a call to safeguard the value of all human life. Francis applies this commandment against an economy of exclusion and inequality, stating: "Such an economy kills" (#53). He questions: "Can we continue to stand by when food is thrown out while people are starving?" (#53) He warns against the globalization of indifference and the idolatry of money as a new golden calf (##54, 55). Francis sets forth the basic principle: "Money must serve, not rule!" (#58)
Despite the stern warnings against these and other dangers, Francis rejects pessimism, recalling the words of Pope John XXIII in opening the Second Vatican Council in October 1962, looking beyond the predictions of gloom to the hope: "In our times, divine Providence is leading us to a new order of human relations" (#84). It is this hopeful note of confidence in God's grace that shapes Francis's message.
Francis reflects on the implications of the Incarnation: "The Son of God, by becoming flesh, summoned us to the revolution of tenderness" (#88). Francis stresses the dignity of baptism as the foundation of Christian identity and the mission of lay people in transforming the world (##102-104). He calls on all Christians to "listen to young people and the elderly. Both represent a source of hope for every people. The elderly bring with them memory and the wisdom of experience, which warns us not to foolishly repeat our past mistakes. Young people call us to renewed and expansive hope, for they represent new direction for humanity and open us up to the future, lest we cling to a nostalgia for structures and customs which are no longer life-giving in today's world" (#108).
II. Interreligious Relations
Pope Francis situates the mission of the Church in the context of fostering respectful and friendly relations with other religious traditions. He affirms the special bond between Christians and the Jewish people because of our common heritage: "We hold the Jewish people in special regard because their covenant has never been revoked, for 'the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable'" (Rom. 11:29; #247). He deplores the past hostility in this relationship: "The friendship which has grown between us makes us bitterly and sincerely regret the terrible persecutions which they have endured, and continue to endure, especially those that have involved Christians" (#248).
Pope Francis strongly supports interreligious initiatives in the context of seeking peace and the flourishing of life for all: "An attitude of openness in truth and in love must characterize the dialogue with the followers of non-Christian religions. . . . Interreligious dialogue is a necessary condition for peace in the world, and so it is a duty for Christians as well as other religious communities" (250). Francis endorses the interreligious attitude commended by the Catholic bishops of India of "being open to them, sharing their joys and sorrows" (#250). Francis explains the hoped-for result of such an attitude of openness: "In this way we learn to accept others and their different ways of living, thinking and speaking. We can then join one another in taking up the duty of serving justice and peace, which should become a basic principle of all our exchanges. A dialogue which seeks social peace and justice is in itself, beyond all merely practical considerations, an ethical commitment which brings about a new social situation" (#250).
Francis stresses the importance and the transformative power of listening: "Efforts made in dealing with a specific theme can become a process in which, by mutual listening, both parts can be purified and enriched. These efforts, therefore, can also express love for truth" (#250). Francis is aware of the important differences among various religious traditions and does not wish to ignore or minimize them: "A facile syncretism would ultimately be a totalitarian gesture on the part of those who would ignore greater values of which they are not the masters. True openness involves remaining steadfast in one's deepest convictions, clear and joyful in one's own identity, while at the same time being 'open to understanding those of the other party' and 'knowing that dialogue can enrich each side'" (#250; quoting Pope John Paul II). Regarding how to handle the disagreements among different religious traditions, Francis stresses honesty, mutual respect, and trust.
Pope Francis emphasizes the importance of good relationships between Christians and Muslims: "We Christians should embrace with affection and respect Muslim immigrants to our countries in the same way that we hope and ask to be received and respected in countries of Islamic tradition" (#253). Francis acknowledges the difficulties in relations in many settings and advises: "Faced with disconcerting episodes of violent fundamentalism, our respect for true followers of Islam should lead us to avoid hateful generalizations, for authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence" (#253).
According to Pope Francis, the grace of God that Christians experience in Jesus Christ can nurture and shape the lives of followers of other religious paths as well. Christians do not have a monopoly on grace and can learn from other traditions: "The same Spirit everywhere brings forth various forms of practical wisdom which help people to bear suffering and to live in greater peace and harmony. As Christians, we can also benefit from these treasures built up over many centuries, which can help us better to live our own beliefs" (#254).
Francis also reaches out to those who do not belong to any particular religious tradition: "As believers, we also feel close to those who do not consider themselves part of any religious tradition, yet sincerely seek the truth, goodness and beauty which we "believe have their highest expression and source in God. We consider them as precious allies in the commitment to defending human dignity, in building peaceful coexistence between peoples and in protecting creation" (#257). Francis trusts that reflection on ethics, art, and science and about the human search for transcendence can serve as "a path to peace in our troubled world" (257).
Despite all the difficulties facing the global community, Francis encourages us:
"Challenges exist to be overcome! Let us be realists, but without losing our joy, our boldness and our hope-filled commitment" (#109).
He closes the Apostolic Exhortation with a prayer to Mary:
"Give us a holy courage to seek new paths,
That the gift of unfading beauty
May reach every man and woman" (#288).

Southeast Asian Buddhist-Muslim Coalition Strengthens Peace Efforts
A coalition of Buddhist and Muslim leaders from South and South East Asia met in Bangkok on June 16th to endorse the 2006 Dusit Declaration, and to commit to act cooperatively with new proposals to stabilize inter-religious relations in the region. This coalition inspires the hope that conflict manifesting in violence, like the recent attacks in Bodhgaya, can be prevented.
Highlights of the 2006 Dusit Declaration include efforts to encourage media outlets to be more evenhanded towards both religions in their broadcasting, the expansion of unbiased religious perspectives taught in children's classrooms, and a new emphasis on inter-religious harmony in politicians' reforms.
The declarations made in Thailand (found in this International Buddhist-Muslim Joint Statement) focus on the potential benefits of tolerance: "We are also deeply aware that if Buddhist and Muslim communities can overcome the challenges that confront them, there is tremendous potential for the growth and development of ideas and values that may help to transform the region."
The coalition organized by the International Network of Engaged Buddhists (INEB), the International Movement for a Just World (JUST), and Religions for Peace (RfP) included representatives from seven countries with the allegiance of some international participants.
The Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions applauds this coalition for being a model of cooperation and tolerance in the South East Asian region.

Christian College Student's Idea Leads to Rally for Burned Mosque
by Josh Levs
from CNN
When 20-year-old Ashley Carter heard about a mosque burned to the ground in her town this week, she was shocked.
"I was very saddened," she told CNN on Wednesday. "I thought it was very evil."
So Carter, a student at Ozark Christian College in Joplin, Missouri, texted a friend, suggesting they organize an event "promoting acts of love."
But quickly, the idea changed: They would organize a "rally of people coming together, from all walks of life, all religions, a really diverse group of people trying to promote this radical love."
She called Kimberly Kester, spokeswoman for the Islamic Society of Joplin, whose worship house serving about 50 families in the southwest Missouri city burned down Monday. Investigators have not determined the cause, but the mosque has been attacked in the past.
Kester supported the idea. So Carter and some of her friends created the plan for the rally and announced it on a Facebook page. The next day, Tuesday, word began to spread. By Wednesday morning, more than 400 people had posted that they would attend the event, scheduled for Saturday, August 25.
Carter said she was inspired by "my love for Jesus. And I know that Jesus calls us to love people."

Course Description
Modern Rome is a living tribute to the contributions made by the engineers of Ancient Rome and the Holy Roman Empire. Their legacies of art, architecture, public health innovations, design and construction techniques advanced the Roman rural society to an urban culture of well-defined principles and planning.
The course will be conducted mainly in Rome where many of the great Roman engineers (mostly anonymous) left examples of their work that exist today. Rome provides students with a wealth of ancient remnants of this sophisticated society; aqueducts, roads, forums and temples. The Roman contributions to modern society are everywhere. We will also take excursions to cities and the countryside outside of Rome to study their relationship to Rome from the perspective of their art, architecture, design and construction techniques. This course focuses on these contributions, and challenges the student to analyze and describe from his or her point of view several significant contributions from the ancient Roman engineers. We will evaluate examples in today's society and use ancient Roman history as a backdrop for these discussions.
Program Structure
This course consists of readings, lectures (including guest lectures by professors from both Sapienza University of Rome and the University of Naples Federico II), site visits, group discussions/reflection time, and attending cultural events. Students are responsible for a daily journal, active participation, and a final paper focusing on contributions of Roman engineering to modern society. Students will also develop an understanding of the value of Catholic Social Teaching principles throughout the course's activities and assignments.

Top Local Tips for Estepona
Estepona, Puerto Banus & Marbella Estepona is nice but off the beaten track - nothing to do - you could die of boredom and no one would notice!. Puerto Banus is described as the playground for the rich and famous - more like the Bar Crawel for the Chavs and Wags. Gangs of British lager louts on Stag and Hen weekends getting drunk, wearing fotball T-shirts and chanting fottball songs. Didn't like it. Marbella is a nice pretty town, especially the old part of town (Orange Square). the whole area though is overated with high prices for poor quality food and service. People will not tolerate this and will begin to avoid and go somewhere else
Two restaurant clusters There are several restaurants in the old city, along pedestrianized Call Real and between Calle Terraza and Calle Santa Ana. The closest parking for the old town is from eastbound Av de Espana, across calle Santa Ana. Also, there is plenty of restaurants at the marina, entrance to the parking is from the westernmost end of Av. Luis Brialle.
Rental cars Book with a reliable company who will give you a decent car.The rental companies now charge 60 euros for a full tank of fuel and request that you bring it back empty, which is impossible and not practicle if you don,t intend to use the car a lot.

How to make squirrelmail to talk to courier on different machine
I followed this guide by falko:
[Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (CentOS 5.3 x86_64)]
Great guide!
I set up this mail server on 10.10.0.200. I have a production webserver on 10.10.0.54. The gateway for both these servers is at 10.10.0.51. Above this gateway in the hierarchy is a firewall. For some reason, the gateway can't forward port 80 to the webserver and port 25 to the mail server. it is a one to one mapping. So whatever packets (be it http or smtp) arrive at the external ip, they are all forwarded to the webserver at 10.10.0.54.
After I set up the mail server using the guide above, i was able to send out email, but not receive. Of course, because port 25 packets weren't reaching the email server. So I fixed this problem by using iptables prerouting and postrouting commands on the webserver. Basically I forwarded I port 25 packets arriving at the webserver to the email server.
Now my squirrelmail is installed on the mailserver as well. How to access this from the outside? There are websites from being served on the webserver at 10.10.0.54, so I can't just forward port 80 to the email server. I was thinking to install squirrelmail on the werbserver at 10.10.0.54. How will I configure it to connect to courier on 10.10.0.200 ?
Also, I have four websites running on my webserver, so i want all of them to access their mail by going to mail.domain.com. By default, squirrelmail is accessed by going to www.domain.com/webmail.
I probably can set up a subdomain using apache virtual host directive. but i will need to change some setting in squirrelmail.conf under /etc/httpd/conf/cquirrelmail.conf. what would that be? I am a bit lost, please guide me.
I thank you all in advance for all ur help.
Just point the imap and smtp configurations to the machine running the services
So I installed squirrelmail on the 10.10.0.54 webserver and edited /etc/squirrelmail/config.php and made the following changes.
$domain = 'localhost';
$imapServerAddress = '10.10.0.200';
$imapPort = 143;
$useSendmail = true;
$smtpServerAddress = '10.10.0.200';
$smtpPort = 25;
$sendmail_path = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$sendmail_args = '-i -t';
$pop_before_smtp = false;
$imap_server_type = 'courier';
$invert_time = false;
$optional_delimiter = '.';
Now, when I login from the squirrelmail web interface, I get a blank screen. Anything that I am missing? Any other setting that I need to change? Thanks guys!
you are getting a blank screen because there is a typo in your config check the logs to see what is causing the fatal error.
I am getting these logs on the mail server (/var/log/maillog)
Mar 12 16:51:27 mail1 imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:10.10.0.54]
Mar 12 16:51:27 mail1 imapd: LOGIN, email@example.com, ip=[::ffff:10.10.0.54], port=[53566], protocol=IMAP
Mar 12 16:51:27 mail1 imapd: LOGOUT, firstname.lastname@example.com, ip=[::ffff:10.10.0.54], headers=0, body=0, rcvd=30, sent=238, time=0
it seems like it logs me out automatically...
any suggestions?
That is normal behavior for a http client.
Okay... but is it normal behavior for me to get a blank screen when i log in? Something must be wrong... Anyone else has any insight into this?
I already told you the blank screen is due to a php fatal error, you need to check you httpd logs (not the maillog you posted back) to see what is causing it.
a web client does not connect to an imap server permanently it connects and then disconnects that's why i told you what you are seeing in the logs is normal behavior on the imap side.
Sorry, i didn't know which logs to look for. This is the error I get in apache logs
[Sat Mar 13 20:13:50 2010] [error] [client 99.244.21*.***] File does not exist: /var/www/html/domain/favicon.ico
[Sat Mar 13 20:13:53 2010] [error] [client 99.244.21*.***] File does not exist: /var/www/html/domain/favicon.ico
Isn't favicon just a little image file that appears just before the url. Is this file that critical ?
In that case turn on display_errors in your php.ini file and you will see the error in the screen instead of having a blank page.

metals recyclers,
scrap metals ordinance,
tag-and-hold rule,
Providence city council,
Rhode Island regulations,
metals theft,
Lisa Gordon
PITTSBURGH City council members in Providence, R.I., have softened their stance on proposed metals recycling restrictions but are still expected to finalize new, stiffer rules for recyclers by the end of the month.
The city in June suggested enacting changes to an existing ordinance that would have required recyclers to tag and hold all metals purchases for 10 days (amm.com, June 22).
The city council has since passed a draft law reducing the lengthy tag-and-hold period to three days for most items, requiring the 10-day hold only for such items as grave markers, weathervanes, sculptures and publicly owned property.
Under the new rules, any purchase of such items as manhole covers would have to be accompanied by a release form issued by the governmental agency disposing of the material.
Recyclers would also be required to keep a digital image of the sellers identification and a record of the delivery vehicles license plate number for a two-year period.
The city council preliminarily passed the draft ordinance Jan. 4. After a second and final vote scheduled for Jan. 17, the mayor must sign or reject the ordinance by Jan. 28, according to a city employee.
The ordinance would take effect as soon as it is approved.
Local recyclers are pleased with the changes to the original draft. "A 10-day tag-and-hold (period) would have literally sunk the state based on how small of a size we are," a local recycler told AMM.
The new version of the proposed rules is more practical than the original, a second recycler said. "It is the best of the worst and will make it easier for us," the recycler said. "Their motivation is to prevent the theft of city-owned property, so in that regard it is reasonable."
Thieves stole more than 200 manhole covers from the city in 2012, and Providence had 190 copper theft incidents in 2011, according to the draft ordinance.
