Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the official dialogue results and common statements issued between 1998 and 2005 by an astonishingly wide range of Christian churches and Christian World Communions. Reflected here are the solid advances made by well established dialogue partners, as well as explorations in dialogue by churches new to the dialogue process at world level. Also included is the ecclesiology text adopted by WCC member churches at their assembly in Porto Alegre, Brazil. A thoughtful introduction relates the bi-lateral dialogues to other aspects of the search for Christian unity, notably multi-lateral discussions conducted through the WCC's Faith and Order Commission. More than a record of contacts and agreed texts, "Growth in Agreement III" is a testimony to the churches' growing accountability -- and indeed commitment -- to one another. It is an indispensable resource for all those concerned with the search for Christian unity today.
Download or read book What We Owe Each Other written by Minouche Shafik and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the leading policy experts of our time, an urgent rethinking of how we can better support each other to thrive Whether we realize it or not, all of us participate in the social contract every day through mutual obligations among our family, community, place of work, and fellow citizens. Caring for others, paying taxes, and benefiting from public services define the social contract that supports and binds us together as a society. Today, however, our social contract has been broken by changing gender roles, technology, new models of work, aging, and the perils of climate change. Minouche Shafik takes us through stages of life we all experience—raising children, getting educated, falling ill, working, growing old—and shows how a reordering of our societies is possible. Drawing on evidence and examples from around the world, she shows how every country can provide citizens with the basics to have a decent life and be able to contribute to society. But we owe each other more than this. A more generous and inclusive society would also share more risks collectively and ask everyone to contribute for as long as they can so that everyone can fulfill their potential. What We Owe Each Other identifies the key elements of a better social contract that recognizes our interdependencies, supports and invests more in each other, and expects more of individuals in return. Powerful, hopeful, and thought-provoking, What We Owe Each Other provides practical solutions to current challenges and demonstrates how we can build a better society—together.
Download or read book Growth in Agreement I written by Harding Meyer and published by . This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two decades following the Second Vatican Council witnessed significant progress in theological consensus among many of the world's Christian communities. Although still separated along lines that may be traced to the Reformation, the principal Protes-tant communions and the Roman Catholic Church engaged in - ongoing discussions in efforts to understand and reconcile their differences. This historic anthology, first published in 1984, is a collection of reports that resulted from bilateral talks between churches on a world level. All these talks were official encounters by authorised representatives of the churches, and nearly all the dialogues were focused on doctrine. However, this process of dialogue among Catholics and Protestants points beyond doctrinal consensus toward a new, living fellowship of Christians. All persons actively engaged in the quest for Christian unity, and other students of the history of ecumenical dialogue, will find this a valuable resource book.

Download or read book Does A Regional Trade Agreement Lessen or Exacerbate Growth Volatility An Empirical Investigation written by Mr.Kangni Kpodar and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses how regional trade agreements (RTAs) impact growth volatility on a worldwide sample of 170 countries with data spanning the period 1978-2012. Notwithstanding concerns that trade openness through RTAs can heighten exposure to shocks, in particular when it leads to increased product specialization, RTAs through enhanced policy credibility, improved policy coordination, and reduced risk of conflicts can ease growth volatility. Empirical estimations suggest the benefits outweigh the costs as RTAs are consistently associated with lower growth volatility, after controlling for trade openness and other determinants of growth volatility. Furthermore, regression results also suggest that countries that are more prone to shocks are more likely to join a RTA, in particular with countries with relatively less volatile growth, additionally enhancing the stabilization effect.

Download or read book Why Growth Matters written by Jagdish Bhagwati and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its history since Independence, India has seen widely different economic experiments: from Jawharlal Nehru's pragmatism to the rigid state socialism of Indira Gandhi to the brisk liberalization of the 1990s. So which strategy best addresses India's, and by extension the world's, greatest moral challenge: lifting a great number of extremely poor people out of poverty? Bhagwati and Panagariya argue forcefully that only one strategy will help the poor to any significant effect: economic growth, led by markets overseen and encouraged by liberal state policies. Their radical message has huge consequences for economists, development NGOs and anti-poverty campaigners worldwide. There are vital lessons here not only for Southeast Asia, but for Africa, Eastern Europe, and anyone who cares that the effort to eradicate poverty is more than just good intentions. If you want it to work, you need growth. With all that implies.

This authoritative book is accessible to policy makers, students, and the general public interested in how to craft a brighter future by building a sustainable, green, and inclusive society in the years ahead.
