The Maoists have always put Nepal on a dangerous roller coaster ride towards a crash. Every time they have been active or been at the political helm, the country has suffered miserably and lost part of its soul. The Maoist Prime Minister Pusha Kamal Dahal has taken the country to a new depth, as never before, by eroding its standing in the world and its sovereingty and independence. Although the Maoist leaders alone are not the only culprit in Nepal 's growing humiliation, they are at its…

Over the past hundred years, Bangladesh has been a part of three septate states the British partisan of India, India, and Pakistan. While Bangladesh was part of Pakistan it was known as East Pakistan and was physical separated from Pakistan proper by India.

patristics, etc. then pastoral theology in the Orthodox sense would be absent. This does not mean that one is unable to make mistakes, but as long as they are grounded in the faith of the Church with humility then God’s grace is able to fulfill where the minister is lacking. If we rely only on experiences and common medicine in the world (which obviously has its use), but are devoid of the faith then we are not allowing Christ to intervene. This ministry, whether it takes place in marital…

True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction.

it felt as if I had been kicked. It was difficult to take a deep breath. Then I thought that perhaps I had misread it, so I reread the letter. This time I realized the depth of my pastor’s disconnect. Here was a man who professed to understand and minister to the needs of his leadership team, and the congregation with integrity and wisdom. Moreover, in one stroke of his pen he had dismissed as trivial all the years of pain and suffering I endured in silence. Furthermore, he denigrated me as a…
Introduction William Willimon states in Calling and Character: Virtues of the Ordained Life: “this character, the cross, indelibly determines our character” (2000, p. 35). He connects how both the calling of the ordained and her/his character connect. Willimon addresses several things that I personally found beneficial as someone who is going into Christian Ministry. For example, he clearly addresses the need for unity between the professional and private life of a pastor. His goal is to inform…
She was in charge of the food and clothing ministry which seemed to be almost a full-time task for her. Literally thousands of people in the church and the local community were ministered to by my mother, and I was a firsthand witness to many of those. I remember carrying sacks of groceries and clothes to homes all over the city and watching my mom pray and lead these needy people to the Lord. It was in my mother that I saw the hard and often unrecognized work of ministry, but again, it was…
