Time to choose - New Year Camp in Norway

Lia Gård in Norway, 28. Dec – 2. January 2009/2010Lia Gård

We invite you to come and take the time with us over New Year.
We live in one of the richest parts of the world, yet we are not content.

Europe is known for the equality and security of its citizens- yet our ways of protecting our privileges from the outside world are getting more and more cruel.

We are one of the most peaceful continents in the world – yet so many of us are at war in our own families.

The environment and future of our globe is threatened – yet we fail to make the changes in our life that is needed to reduce global warming and prevent disaster.

It is said that to whom much is given, from him much will be required….it’s time to choose.

Viktigste klimanyhet i 2009

Miljøvern og klimaforandringer sto på agendaen da 200 muslimske ledere fra Indonesia i øst til Marokko i vest møttes i Istanbul 5. – 7. juli.  Olav Kjørven, undergeneralsekretær i FN og FNs utviklingsprogram (UNDP) sa i en åpningstale: ”Det er en stor ære for FN og for meg å ta del i denne historiske konferansen. At dere i den muslimske verden nå forplikter dere til handling, og at andre religioner gjør det samme, er uten tvil den viktigste klimanyheten i 2009.”

Australia: IofC og aboriginere med grønt tankegods

En ledende talsmann for Australias urbefolkning var i Caux i sommer. Ray Minniecon er med-formann i komtéen som for alvor satte aboriginernes skjebne på Australias dagsorden. Det resulterte i at Australias statsminister på nasjonens vegne i fjor ba om tilgivelse for den hensynsløse tvangsintegreringen som aboriginerne hadde vært utsatt for.

Hope-Sierra Leone: key partner in implementing symbolic reparations programme

From a war-ravaged country of people haunted by painful memories of the brutal civil war of 1991-2002, Sierra Leone is emerging as a glimmering ray of hope, casting its glow on other African countries still under storm clouds of bitter conflict. And Hope-Sierra Leone, the NGO founded in 2000 by Sierra Leonean war refugee John Bangura and now affiliated to Initiatives of Change-International, is playing a key role in this development. Working with the government agency NaCSA (National Commission for Social Action), it recently coordinated a series of successful reconciliation and symbolic re-burial ceremonies in response to a recommendation by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This is a critically important step in the journey towards a more tolerant and more democratic society.
