On June 22, 2005, the United Nations hosted a groundbreaking one-day inter-religious event titled the Conference on Interfaith Cooperation for Peace. …The purpose of this conference, which is visible in its title, was to propel the world peace/interfaith agenda to a more substantial level. By its nature this is a political move. As Jean Ping, President of the UN General Assembly explained,

“If religions have contributed to the peace of the world, we have also to recognize that they have been used to create division and fuel hostilities. Fanaticism and adherence to exclusive ideologies, both religious and secular, have challenged religious communities, governments and international relations for centuries….”

Towards this interfaith-political quest for global unity, Ambassador Munir Akram, President of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), told conference attendees, “Faith is also a powerful instrument for social – and political mobilization - to achieve collective goals.“

What questions does this beg you to ask? How about:

“Whose collective?”

“Whose goals?”

Researcher, analyst and editor Carl Teichrib brings biblical perspective to these issues. He makes time to speak around the region as well as his international commitments. He’ll be joining us at WBC 2009 on Nov. 14th.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. “

~John 14:6 (NASB)

But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; and avoid such men as these.

~2 Tim. 3:1-5 (NASB)

“I doubt, therefore I think. I think, therefore I exist.”

Dr. Emil talks about questioning what you’ve been taught. Is that okay for Christians? Is this kind of doubt a sin? Is there a kind of doubt that’s part of real faith?

Carl lives in the Plumas (Neepawa/Gladstone) area and makes time to speak around the region as well as his international commitments. He’ll be joining us on Nov. 14th.
