Religion And Gender Projects, Centre For Advanced Religious And Theological Stud
Conducted by the Centre for Advanced religious and Theological studies, University of Cambridge.
http://www.divinity.cam.ac.uk/CARTS/gender.html

Extractions: Faculty of Divinity, Centre for Advanced Religious and Theological Studies Theology and Religious Studies, like many other subjects, has seen a rise in interest over the past decade in what was formerly known as 'feminist' or 'women's' studies - a subject that is more accurately called 'gender' studies. The Faculty of Divinity has scholars of international renown in all branches of Christian theology as well as a growing and distinguished team of lecturers in the fields of Jewish, Islamic and Hindu studies. An increasing number of research students would like to work on projects which fall within one of the more traditional branches of Theology or Religious Studies, but which will involve gender studies as well. To assist such students, wherever their principal focus lies, the Faculty would like to create a post in Gender and Religion as soon as it has the funding to do so. The primary need is for someone who can, within a young field, develop and direct research. This post would, therefore, be at the level of Assistant Director of Research, whose principal responsibilities would lie, within CARTS, in the development of research in religious aspects of gender studies and in helping the present lecturers direct the studies of the increasing number of graduate students (both at doctoral and M.Phil. levels) who wish to work on projects in this area. In addition, it is hoped that the ADR would be able to offer assistance with undergraduate teaching and so broaden the courses available at this level.

Dabru Emet - National Jewish Scholars Project - What We Do - Institute For Chris
A nonprofit educational organization whose mission focuses on the task of disarming religious prejudice by establishing models of interfaith understanding.
http://www.icjs.org/what/njsp/dabruemet.html

Extractions: DABRU EMET A JEWISH STATEMENT ON CHRISTIANS AND CHRISTIANITY In recent years, there has been a dramatic and unprecedented shift in Jewish and Christian relations. Throughout the nearly two millennia of Jewish exile, Christians have tended to characterize Judaism as a failed religion or, at best, a religion that prepared the way for, and is completed in, Christianity. In the decades since the Holocaust, however, Christianity has changed dramatically. An increasing number of official Church bodies, both Roman Catholic and Protestant, have made public statements of their remorse about Christian mistreatment of Jews and Judaism. These statements have declared, furthermore, that Christian teaching and preaching can and must be reformed so that they acknowledge Gods enduring covenant with the Jewish people and celebrate the contribution of Judaism to world civilization and to Christian faith itself. We believe these changes merit a thoughtful Jewish response. Speaking only for ourselves an interdenominational group of Jewish scholars we believe it is time for Jews to learn about the efforts of Christians to honor Judaism. We believe it is time for Jews to reflect on what Judaism may now say about Christianity. As a first step, we offer eight brief statements about how Jews and Christians may relate to one another. Jews and Christians worship the same God.

University Of Cambridge: Faculty Of Divinity

http://www.divinity.cam.ac.uk/

Extractions: Faculty of Divinity University of Cambridge Faculty of Divinity Between three and four billion of the world's population are directly involved in the major religions. The fostering of religious understanding, therefore, has immense implications, not only for the convictions, values and world-views of people throughout the world, but also for the flourishing of communities, institutions, and whole social systems. The Cambridge Faculty of Divinity is at the forefront of response to this complex situation: Theology and Religious Studies in Cambridge today is about pursuing questions of meaning, truth and practice in relation to the religions of the world. It has responsibilities to a wide range of academic disciplines, as well as to religious communities and modern societies which are deeply concerned about the massive transformations occurring around us. Due to staff shortage, we regret that the Faculty Library will be closed from 16h30 on Friday 12 August 2005 and will not reopen until 10h00 on Monday 12 September 2005. We apologise for any inconvenience this unavoidable closure may cause. Thinking of coming to Cambridge?

Bloodless medicine is a modern field of research which studies the available strategies for providing medical care without allogeneic transfusions. In most cases this is undertaken because of religious convictions, but not always.Â Any technological improvement, as well as any therapeutic strategy, that permit the avoidance ofÂ the allogeneic blood, have to be carefully followed in the universities.

THE UNACCEPTABLE COST OF RELIGIOUS SUPERSTITION
In many states it's legal to let your own children die because of religious beliefs. This page has case studies of superstition causing innocent kids to die or God deciding that a child should die, depending on your interpretation.
http://www.deism.com/harrison.htm

Extractions: THE UNACCEPTABLE COST OF RELIGIOUS SUPERSTITION All three little innocent children pictured above are victims of religious superstition. All three children died because their parents believed in the faith-healing BS that the Bible is full of. The first little child who's pictured above is Harrison Johnson. In September of 1998 he was stung by over 430 yellow-jackets. His parents are Christians who believe in "faith-healing" so they prayed for him for seven hours before calling for medical help. Harrison died. His parents actions are perfectly legal in the state of Florida where this tragedy took place. This murderous behavior is also legal in 45 other states in the 50 United States. The only states that are progressive enough to not permit the killing of innocent children for religious "reasons" are Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts and South Dakota. The second child pictured above is Amy Hermanson from Sarasota, Florida. She had diabetes. She also had Christian Science parents. The two don't mix and Amy lost. Amy was visibly sick for a period of four weeks. As many people do who believe in the hocus pocus of faith-healing, Amy's mother was pretending everything was alright. She took Amy to visit a neighbor who encouraged her to take Amy to a doctor. She refused. A few minutes latter Amy crawled into the room begging her mother to take her home. Amy died a few days latter. The third picture is of Ian Lundman from Minnesota. He also suffered from both diabetes and Christian Science parents. Minnesota is one of the 46 backward states stepped in superstition where it's perfectly legal to kill kids if your religious beliefs embrace faith-healing. Ian exhibited all the signs and warnings of diabetes: frequent urination, vomiting and labored breathing. His custodial mother did nothing but hire a Christian Science practioner and Christian Science nurse. Since they believe in the deadly superstition of faith-healing they offered no medical help. Ian became yet another victim of "revealed" religion.
