Geneva (ENInews). Christine Housel, an Episcopalian (Anglican) from the United States, has been elected the new general secretary of the World Student Christian Federation, a global grouping of student groups that promotes dialogue, ecumenism, social justice and peace.

Mott, whose efforts also led to the creation of the World Council of Churches more than half a century later.Housel studied philosophy at Wheaton College near Chicago and did a Masters of Divinity at Yale Divinity School. She has served as project manager at the federation's international office in Geneva since 2008.
Mark this is great news! I remember Christine - I am so happy for her and for the WSCF. Well done, all!
ReplyDeleteCOMMON CHALLENGES AND ENCOUNTER FOR PEACE IN THE WORLD.
ReplyDeleteThe site goldenduas.com is launched with messages of definite orders
of God/Almighty Allah towards world safety and unity amongst all religions in
accorance with the directions under Holy Quranic verses 17:16,28:59,39:55 and
45:14which are available in www.Quran.com.
It is the time to discuss the following because according to the Quranic verses 5:14,
5:82,7:158,45:14,57:27and28 and 61:6 it is revealed that Christians are not arrogant
and amongst them are priests and monks.Our prophet Jesus said that he is a messenger
of God,confirming Torah which came before him,and giving glad tidings of a messenger to
comeafter him,whose name shall be Ahamed.It is also further revealed that God sent
Jesus and gave him the Gospel.And He ordained in the hearts of those who followed
Jesus,compassion and mercy and it is also revealed that the believers of prophets Moses
and Jesus fear God and believe in His messenger Mohamed and it means that Jews and
Christians can also follow Islam without converting to Islam as compulsory conversion
is banned under the Quranic verse 2:256.He also says that He will give them a double
portion of His mercy and He will give them a light by which Christians and Jews shall
walk.
Besides,according to the Quranic verse 45:14,Jihad is not recognised as it says:
45:14. Tell those who believe,
To forgive those who
Do not look forward
To the Days of God:
It is for Him to recompense
(For good or ill) each People
According to what
They have earned.
Further the Quranic verse 2:99 reveals that no one can refuse to follow the Quranic
verses except those who are perversing and again the Quranic verse 5:14 reveals that
God took their covenant,but they abandoned a good portion of the message that was sent to
them[Christians,Jews and Muslims].So,God planted amongst them enimity and hatred til the
Day of Ressurection.
According to the Quranic verse 39:55,definite orders of God's messages are posted in the
site goldenduas.com for world safety and unity amongst all the religions in the
world and the same are to be analysed and discussed with the top leaders of Jews,Christians,
Islam and all other religions in the world.
Under Quranic verses 4:157and158 it is revealed:
4:157.That they said [in boast]
"We killed Christ Jesus
The son of Mary
The Messenger of Allah";-
But they killed him not
Nor crucified him.
Only a likeness of that
Was shown to them.
And those who differ
Therein are full of doubts,
With no [certain] knowledge.
But only conjecture to follow,
For of a surety
They killed him not.
4:158. Nay,Allah raised him up
Unto Himself;and Allah
Is Exalted in Power,Wise;-
[The resemblence of Jesus was put over his traitot Judas by God and the people killed him
while Jesus was raised to heaven by God and Jesus is in heaven].
Holy Bible says:
1."Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves".
-Matthew 10:16.
2."Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance;
with divine retribution he will come to save you". - Isaiah 35:4
Holy Quran says:
28:59. Nor was thy Lord the one
To destroy a population until
He had sent to its Centre
An apostle, rehearsing to them
Our Signs; nor are We
Going to destroy a population
Except when its members
Practise iniquity.
