81. Ideology In The Schoolbooks In The Belgian Congo Western models have been used for the composition of African schoolbooks, but in the interest of the Whites, using the indigenous people. http://www.abbol.com/commonfiles/docs_projecten/colschoolbks/ideology.htm

Ideology in the Schoolbooks in the Belgian Congo By Honoré Vinck The following text is an adaptation and updating of a Seminar Paper discussed in the Wednesday Seminars of the Institute for Advanced Study and Research in the African Humanities at the Northwestern University, Evanston, on March 8, 1995. The text has been first published as: The Influence of Colonial Ideology on Schoolbooks in the Belgian Congo, Paedagogica Historica (Gent), 23(1995)2,355-406. Footnotes are not reproduced and updated bibliography can be found in the Bibliographical section of this African Schoolbook Project Site. Acronyms are explained in annexe. Abstract The analysis of about 50 textbooks, used in the elementary schools of the former Belgian Congo in the Region of the Equator and Upper R.D. Congo Provinces, reveals how the school education propagated the most formal colonial ideology in the terms proposed by the Belgian political authorities. Fundamental themes such as the legitimacy of the colonisation and the sources of authority, and the bearers and symbols of colonial authority take an important place in the texts posed to the children. The traditional pre-colonial beliefs and life-style were placed in opposition to the new western institutions in a black-is-bad and white-is-good terminology.

The entire thread may be accessed on Black Woman, Mother of all the Races at: Windowsonhaiti.com Black Women: Mother of All the Races HOW THAT BLACK WOMAN CAME TO BE? If we are talking about who gave birth to the FIRST human being (s), and we are assuming, She is, the very oldest skeletal remains there is and She is the FIRST, then "How That Black woman came to be?" is beyond anyone’s real knowledge. Those answers lie in myths, legends, world cosmologies and religious dogmas. So let’s quickly look at a few Haitian/African myths, legends and cosmologies that may address "How That Black woman came to be?" MYTHICALLY - If we look at Haitian cosmology: 1. Perhaps SHE came to be because "one plus one is three." 2. Perhaps SHE was the original twin.

Countdown to Congress 29 July 2005 Baptist World Congress: Baptists challenged to make AIDS a priority by Esther Barnes, Baptist Women of Ontario and Quebec, Canada There are 39.4 million HIV-positive people in the world, about one for every Baptist. With this fact in mind, a focus group at the Baptist World Congress yesterday called upon the Baptist World Alliance to make HIV/AIDS and related issues a priority in the next quinquennium. The group asked the BWA to support the initiation of a functional network of AIDS-related ministries, to facilitate a sharing of resources, and to collect and disseminate information about the best practices in HIV/AIDS work among Baptists. The focus group heard from some of those practitioners. "The key thing is inreach," said Sally Smith, a former Baptist Missionary Society missionary to Nepal who now works in Geneva with the Global Coalition on Women and AIDS, a UNAIDS initiative. "You have to talk about controversial issues in the church." She urged Baptist churches to end three things: ignorance, stigmatization and isolation. "We have to teach people how to be abstinent and faithful, and to protect themselves," she said. "We have to create a loving welcome for everyone with AIDS-including the pastor. We have to care for people with AIDS and their families. Then we will have credibility to move out into our community with our outreach ministries. We have up to 40 million Baptists in the world. Think what an impact we can make!"

"Where is God when the church inflicts hurt?" Texts: Genesis 16:7-15, John 9:13-34 Sermon preached by Rev. Jeanette Mathews 25 May 2003 Stories of hurt Many Voices p. 58) In the last few years we have become aware that the horror of sexual abuse is present in the church just as it is elsewhere in the community. This issue has again been at the forefront of the media in recent months and weeks and reminds us that the church and people called to ministry in the church can become perpetrators of abuse towards others, even children, and can enjoy the protection of the church structures at the expense of their victims. I have written in my pastoral letter this week about Michael Lapsley – a South African Anglican Priest who was severely injured by a letter bomb sent to him while he was living in exile in Harare in 1990. Both hands and one eye were destroyed by the bomb which had been hidden amongst religious magazines sent to his home. These stories are amongst many that could be told of hurt inflicted in the name of or through the structures of faith.

It was created to re-emphasize that people and their lives should be the ultimate criteria for assessing the development of a country, not economic growth. Current values range from 0.956 ( Norway, 1/177 countries) to 0.273 ( Sierra Leone, 177/177 countries).
