SUNDAY CHOICE – PEACE IN CHRIST – By Charles Schokman Bible verses about peace— What does the Bible say about peace in hard times? Even before Covid there was so much to be worried about: climate change, terrorism, wars, personal circumstances. Now with a worldwide pandemic, lockdowns and so many deaths and personal changes, life can just seem overwhelming. It’s important to remember that the Bible promises peace to those who trust God. And sometimes that means more than just reading the words and thinking, “that’s nice”. It’s about reading the words, believing them and then acting accordingly. You may have heard of, or read, the Bible verses from Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Confronting Two Calamities in Eastern Sri Lanka in 2005-by Dennis B. McGilvray Source:Thuppahis Dennis B. McGilvray, in India Review 5(2-3) November 2006, special issue on public anthropology, …. where the title reads  “Tsunami and Civil War in Sri Lanka: An Anthropologist Confronts the Real World”  …. with highlighting in different colours imposed by the Editor, Thuppahi Recent calls for a new “public anthropology” to promote greater visibility for ethnographic research in the eyes of the press and the general public, and to bolster the courage of anthropologists to address urgent issues of the day, are laudable although probably too hopeful as well.

News from London: Taylor Swift in Town – By Hemantha Yapa Abeywardena Taylor Swift, the American megastar and the singing sensation, is currently on tour in the United Kingdom and understandably, her fans have gone wild – millions of them.

Judging by the unravelling phenomenon wherever she sets her foot in, ‘Swifties’ may well be in the Oxford Dictionary in due course as a noun, exactly the way ‘google’ took a spot – at first as a noun and then, a verb in that order; the exponential growth of the fanbase across the globe can only make it much quicker, if not swifter. In Edinburgh, she performed to packed audiences last week that was reported as earth-shattering; ...
