 Others have left for Sweda or Damascus.
 The other parishes are no better.

Caring for Hauran
 Sweda is a peaceful city,
but swelling with
refugees—Christian and
Moslem.
 The ecumenical relation
office of the Patriarchate is
working hard
to serve them.

SABA could visit and
celebrate Liturgy in
2013.

Caring for Hauran
 Metropolitan SABA, on
July 15, 2014:
 The village of Tisiya (which
name is derived from the
word “Baptisery” because it
was the center for baptisms
in the Ghassanid Kingdom
from the 4th through the 7th
centuries) was attacked by
some fundamentalist groups.

Caring for Hauran
 Its ancient church was taken over
 Its crosses, icons and service books were
broken and thrown into the street.

into a mosque.
 Al-Nusra Front now controls the village.

Caring for Hauran
 This Orthodox Christian village is the last
outpost before the Syrian-Jordanian border.
 The previous Metropolitan used to refer to
Tisiya as “the fence of Orthodoxy” because of
its pious people.
 About 10 families remain there now.
 The majority are in Damascus because their
homes have been stolen and they cannot
return.

Caring for Hauran
 Metropolitan SABA is
most grateful for
having such brothers
and sisters, especially
His Grace, Bishop
BASIL and the clergy
and people of the
Diocese of Wichita
and Mid-America.

Caring for Hauran
 Our opportunity for obedience to our Savior,
who walked in Hauran:
 “A new commandment I give to you, that ye
love one another just as I have loved you……
 By this shall all men know that you are my
disciples, if you have love one to another.”
(John 14: 34-35)

Caring for Hauran
 When we pray for our
families, may we
remember to pray for our
suffering sister Diocese.
 When we thank God for
our food, let us pray that
they will have food for
which they can thank
Him.

Caring for Our Brothers and
Sisters in Hauran
“….…just as I have loved you.”

The Archdiocese of Bosra-Hauran in Syria is experiencing a crisis due to the ongoing conflict and unrest in the country. Metropolitan SABA requests prayers for himself and the faithful as they face hardships, including closed churches, violence, and economic struggles as tourism and income have ceased. Donations are needed to support the kindergarten, clinic, food pantry and students still in dormitories, as the conflict prevents many charitable activities and has worsened economic conditions.

It also talks about the efforts of the Metropolitan SABA's charitable association which was established in 2012 to help serve the needs of displaced parishioners within the Archdiocese. The document raises concerns about preserving the cultural and religious heritage sites of Hauran, including ancient church ruins in places like Izraa and the old Roman capital of Bosra, as the Christian population that has long inhabited the region continues to dwindle.

The growth of Christianity in Africa over the past century has been remarkable, with the number of Christians growing from 10 million to 360 million. What began as a missionary movement from Europe and North America helped spark this growth. Now, the tables have turned and many African churches are larger and healthier than their Western counterparts. Uganda in particular saw widespread conversion upon the arrival of the first missionaries in 1882. The document proposes a new international church in Uganda oriented towards mission and discipleship, with the goal of influencing the wider Ugandan church and resourcing mission efforts in North Africa and beyond.

The document discusses the teachings of Vatican II on the role and importance of laypeople in the Catholic Church. It traces the development of this teaching from previous eras where laypeople had a more obscure role to Vatican II which recognized laypeople as having their own unique vocation.

The document reflects on both implementing and further developing Vatican II's vision for a more active role of laypeople in the modern Church.

Historical account of christian conversions in indiaDomenic Marbaniang

��

Christianity has a long history in India dating back to the 1st century AD when the Apostle Thomas first arrived and established several churches. Over subsequent centuries, various missionaries and travelers helped spread Christianity throughout coastal regions and communities converted from Hinduism and Judaism. While persecution arose in later centuries, the Christian population remained concentrated in coastal areas. In the 19th century, British colonial policies reluctantly allowed missionaries to enter and their social work helped promote conversions, especially among lower castes and tribes. Today Christianity continues to see both conversions and losses of adherents in India.

The high technology, secularist society we live in today poses many challenges to living Christ's teachings, being committed to His Church, and living a Christ-like life family life. Even greater challenges are faced by the successors of the Apostles, the bishops and priests who are called to shepherd Christ’s Church in the modern world. By the grace of the Holy Spirit, may this resource be of some assistance to all called to minister to our communities in Christ.

The new Government is currently preparing a child poverty strategy, and hoping to emulate the success of the last Labour government, which lifted over half a million children out of poverty over its first five years. This ambition is needed too, because unless action is taken, poverty rates are expected to rise over the course of the parliament. But Britain in the mid-2020s is very different to the late-1990s – a new approach will be needed to lift children out of poverty over the next decade. What reduced child poverty in the late-1990s and 2000s, and to what extent can that approach be repeated today? What is the role of work, housing, and social security in lifting families above the poverty line? How much might it cost to deliver a successful child poverty strategy? And what are the costs of not doing so?

Article review by Liben Tsegaye |PhD student in DRMD , AAU|EGCDWO

��

This article review critically assesses a study on the decentralization of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) in Ethiopia, focusing on the Oromia region. The purpose of the review is to evaluate the article's methodology, findings, and policy implications, as well as to offer recommendations for further research. The method for the review was content and comparative analysis. The article employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative content analysis and quantitative statistical tools such as STATA version 14 to analyze data from government representatives. Major findings reveal that while decentralization of DRM is better understood at higher administrative levels, its effectiveness is limited due to challenges in training, technology, collaboration, and local capacity. The article highlights that administrative decentralization is more effective than fiscal or political decentralization. However, the research has notable weaknesses, including a limited sample size and reliance on participants' opinions rather than objective indicators measurement, leading to superficial findings. The review suggests that the research methodology could be improved with secondary data and a case study approach to gain a more comprehensive understanding of DRM decentralization. Recommendations for further research are made, emphasizing the need for a more robust analysis and actionable policy guidance. Keywords: Disaster Risk Management, Decentralization, Awareness,

Brief History ��●Africa is the 'cradle of humankind', the place where the first human beings lived 5 to 10 million years ago. ●Fossils found in Africa, show that the modern human beings spread from this continent. One of the earliest evidences of human life were found in South Africa. ●Many powerful kingdoms existed on the African continent in the early history and the Middle Ages. ●Between the 5th and 15th century, African slaves were traded mainly by Arab traders. ●In the late 19th century Europeans started conquering Africa which was then colonised in the 19th and 20th century mainly from Britain and France, but also from the Dutch, Italian and Germans.

13. Caring for Hauran  Metropolitan SABA, on July 15, 2014:  The village of Tisiya (which name is derived from the word “Baptisery” because it was the center for baptisms in the Ghassanid Kingdom from the 4th through the 7th centuries) was attacked by some fundamentalist groups.

14. Caring for Hauran  Its ancient church was taken over  Its crosses, icons and service books were broken and thrown into the street.  An unconfirmed report says it has been turned into a mosque.  Al-Nusra Front now controls the village.

15. Caring for Hauran  This Orthodox Christian village is the last outpost before the Syrian-Jordanian border.  The previous Metropolitan used to refer to Tisiya as “the fence of Orthodoxy” because of its pious people.  About 10 families remain there now.  The majority are in Damascus because their homes have been stolen and they cannot return.

16. Caring for Hauran  Metropolitan SABA is most grateful for having such brothers and sisters, especially His Grace, Bishop BASIL and the clergy and people of the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America.

17. Caring for Hauran  Our opportunity for obedience to our Savior, who walked in Hauran:  “A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another just as I have loved you……  By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.” (John 14: 34-35)

18. Caring for Hauran  When we pray for our families, may we remember to pray for our suffering sister Diocese.  When we thank God for our food, let us pray that they will have food for which they can thank Him.

19. Caring for Our Brothers and Sisters in Hauran “….…just as I have loved you.”
