Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History textbooks typically list 1945–1990 as the Cold War years, but it is clear that tensions from that period are still influencing world politics today. While much attention is given to political and social responses to those first nuclear threats, none has been given to the reactions of Christian churches. North American Churches and the Cold War offers the first systematic reflection on the diverse responses of Canadian and American churches to potential nuclear disaster. A mix of scholars and church leaders, the contributors analyze the anxieties, dilemmas, and hopes that Christian churches felt as World War II gave way to the nuclear age. As they faced either nuclear annihilation or peaceful reconciliation, Christians were forced to take stands on such issues as war, communism, and their relationship to Christians in Eastern Europe. As we continue to navigate the nuclear era, this book provides insight into Chris-tian responses to future adversities and conflicts.

Book excerpt: Anand G. Mahindra, one of the most successful business men of India Inc., recently added another feather to his cap--Satyam Computer Services Ltd, which was counted as the fourth largest Information Technology (IT) services firm of India until the revelation of a financial fraud by its founder chairman. It was a risk that even the top three Indian IT companies of India avoided, but Anand Mahindra went ahead with the calculated risk of bidding for Satyam that turned out to be--historical and game changer-- in his own words. Venturbay Consultants Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of Tech Mahindra Ltd., India's sixth largest software exporter outbid the diversified conglomerate Larsen & Toubro Ltd, U.S. based Cognizant Technology Solutions and American investor Wilbur Ross to acquire a controlling stake in Satyam Computer. Anand Mahindra was among those business heads at the helm of family owned businesses who acknowledged that ownership should be separate from management. The professionalism has paid off well and his flagship firm Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, one of India's leading automotive manufacturers known for its tractors, has carved out a niche space in the passenger vehicles space also with successful sports utility vehicle (SUV) models such as Scorpio and Xylo. The Scorpio, developed from scratch for just $120 million, became a case study at the Harvard Business School. Another group company Mahindra Holidays and Resorts has just ended a four-month long drought at India's initial public offering (IPO) market. When Anand Mahindra joined the family business in early 1980s, he had to struggle to change the work culture at the grass root level. Then he focused on diversifying the business and the Group has now significant presence in sectors such as automobiles, financial services, trade and logistics, hospitality, automotive components, information technology and infrastructure development. Mahindra, India's top multi-utility vehicle maker and the world's fourth-largest tractor maker, has about 30% of the Indian tractor's market share, the world's largest by volume. Mahindra also has strong presence in urban and foreign markets like Russia, Brazil, Columbia and Africa. Mahindra was a co-founder of Kotak Mahindra Finance Ltd., which in 2003 was converted into a bank.

Download or read book The Hip Hop Church written by Efrem Smith and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2012-04-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hip-hop is here. The beats ring out in our cities. Hip-hop culture is all around us: in the clothes youth wear, in the music they listen to, in the ways they express themselves. It is the language they speak, the rhythm they move to. It is a culture familiar with the hard realities of our broken world; the generation raised with rap knows about the pain. They need to know about the hope. Enter the hip-hop church. Like the culture it rises from, the hip-hop church is relevant and bold. And it speaks to the heart. In this book, pastors Efrem Smith and Phil Jackson show the urgency of connecting hip-hop culture and church to reach a generation with the gospel of Jesus Christ. They give practical ideas from their urban churches and other hip-hop churches about how to engage and incorporate rap, break dancing, poetry and deejays to worship Jesus and preach his Word. Hip-hop culture is shaping the next generation. Ignoring it will not reduce its influence; it will only separate us from the youth moving to its rhythm. How will they hear Christ's message of truth and hope if we don't speak their language? And how can we speak their language if we don't understand and embrace their culture? Hear the beat. Join the beat. Become the beat that brings truth and hope to a hungry, hurting generation.

Download or read book Toward a Twenty First Century Biblical Apostolic Church written by SuYeon Yoon and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores biblical values that critique the ecclesiology of the New Apostolic Reformation Church (NARC) and compares the ecclesiology to other missional movements in the North American context. A biblical exegesis of Ephesians 4:11-13 as well as C. Peter Wagner's conceptualization of an apostle and apostolic ministry allow the author to demonstrate the gap between the biblical perspective and Wagner's concept of an apostle. The biblical role of an apostle is to make the church missional by emphasizing the concept of sending, whereas Wagner sees the apostle as a church leader. Based upon interviews and participant observation in three NARCs, SuYeon Yoon describes the leadership and ecclesiology based on their own self-descriptions. This book then demonstrates the gap between the biblical and conceptual ideals and the reality of ecclesial practice. The author argues that the NARC serves as a charismatic manifestation of a similar cultural response to establish a relational structure for church communities that can appropriately reflect upon and identify with the contemporary context. This implies that each movement needs to be biblically sound, faithful to its conceptualization, and relevant to the context in order to cultivate its own way of being the church.

Download or read book The Presbyterian Experience in the United States written by William Yoo and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to the Presbyterian movement in the United States as told by those who lived through and contributed to its history. William Yoo has drawn together essential documents from the colonial period to the present that illustrate and illumine U.S. Presbyterianism across diversities of race, ethnicity, geography, gender, age, and theological position. Readers will follow the church's journey from modest origins as a Scots-Irish immigrant church to prominence on the national stage, from early revivals and tent meetings to large-scale theological debates, from defense of slavery and racial intolerance to the pursuit of social justice and racial reconciliation, and from retreat into theologically narrow enclaves to active engagement with national and international politics and culture. Yoo weaves together a coherent and compelling narrative using the voices of those who sought a faithfully Presbyterian witness to the gospel. Arranged both chronologically and thematically with historical maps and photos, this book provides a lively and accessible vista into the making and shaping of Presbyterianism in the United States.

Download or read book What Kind of Christianity written by William Yoo and published by Presbyterian Publishing Corp. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2023 Award of Excellence, Religion Communicators Council Like most Americans, Presbyterians in the United States know woefully little about the history of slavery and the rise of anti-Black racism in our country. Most think of slavery as a tragedy that “just happened,” without considering how it happened and who was involved. In What Kind of Christianity,William Yoo paints an accurate picture of the complicity of the majority of Presbyterians in promoting, supporting, or willfully ignoring the enslavement of other human beings. Most Presbyterians knew of the widespread physical and sexual violence that enslavers inflicted on the enslaved, and either approved of it or did nothing to prevent it. Most Presbyterians in the nineteenth century—whether in the South or the North–held racist attitudes toward African Americans and acted on those attitudes on a daily basis. In short, during that period when the Presbyterian Church was establishing itself as a central part of American life, most of its members were promoting slavery and anti-Black racism. In this important book, William Yoo demonstrates that to understand how Presbyterian Christians can promote racial justice today, they must first understand and acknowledge how deeply racial injustice is embedded in their history and identity as a denomination.
