ANN Bulletin - January 29, 2008 - unOFFICIAL ADVENTIST FORUM

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

[photo: Robert Nixon/ANN] A Seventh-day Adventist law professor was sworn in as one of the 18 judges of the International Criminal Court, The Hague, Netherlands, on January 17. Dr. Daniel D. Ntanda Nsereko, most recently a professor of law at the University of Botswana where he also headed up the Department of Law, was nominated to the ICC by the Ugandan government and endorsed by the African Union last year. Nsereko and two other nominees were elected by ICC member states from among 10 candidates in early December. Previously, Nsereko worked as a trial lawyer in Uganda, and was later named an ICC bar counsel, which allowed him to represent clients at The Hague. The ICC, an independent court established in 2002 to prosecute genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, currently has jurisdiction over its 105 member states. Nsereko, a prolific writer on international and criminal law and human rights, has taught related subjects at the university level for more than 25 years. In 1996, the International Society for the Reform of Criminal Law awarded Nsereko a medal recognizing his contributions to international human rights and criminal law reform. He has also served as visiting scholar to a number of universities and institutes. Nsereko holds a Doctor of Juridical Science and a Master of Law degrees from New York University School of Law, a Master of Comparative Jurisprudence from the Howard University School of Law and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of East Africa, Dar Es Salaam. Nsereko serves as an elder, Sabbath School teacher and director of Christian Education at the Broadhurst Seventh-day Adventist Church in Gaborone, Botswana. Adventist Church president to host televised youth dialogues in China, Philippines January 29, 2008 Silver Spring, Maryland, United States ... [ Rajmund Dabrowski and Ansel Oliver/ANN ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adventist Church President Jan Paulsen has hosted 17 previous live, unscripted dialogues with youth. Next week he will host two such broadcasts for the first time in East Asia. [ANN file photo] Seventh-day Adventist world church president, Pastor Jan Paulsen, heads to East Asia next week for two regional installments of his Let's Talk live televised dialogues with youth. Paulsen will host Let's Talk in Manila, Philippines on February 7 and in Hong Kong on February 10. The programs will air live on the church's Hope Channel and its Web site http://www.hopetv.org. The shows will be first in Asia for Paulsen. He has hosted 17 similar previous live programs with youth worldwide since 2003. Church leaders say the visits to Manila and Hong Kong are especially significant as the Adventist Church is represented widely and is growing in Asia. According to Orville Parchment, assistant to the church president, Paulsen hosts the dialogues hoping that young people will gain a better understanding of their church, its structure and the role young people play in their faith community. "I believe it's significant for the young people in Asia to meet with the world church leader and ask him questions because access to a world church leader is limited," Parchment said. "A meeting in Hong Kong with Chinese young people will give the world church leader a first-hand opportunity to hear about their Christian witness and aspirations," Parchment said. "The young people are very enthusiastic about this opportunity to be able to talk to our world church leader," said Daniel Jiao, communication director for the church's Chinese Union Mission. Paulsen's visit will fall during Chinese New Year, one of the most important festivals of the year, Jiao said. Participants for the Hong Kong broadcast will come from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In Manila, the group will represent the diversity of nations and cultures of the region. Jonathan Catolico, coordinator of the event in Manila, and communication director of the church's Southern Asia-Pacific region, explained that "this dialogue is very significant because this group [of participants] represents 18 countries in the church's Southern Asia-Pacific region. This multi-cultural youth group comes with issues inherent in countries they represent." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- news.adventist.org ANN World News Bulletin is a review of news and information issued by the Communication department from the Seventh-day Adventist Church World Headquarters and released as part of the service of Adventist News Network.
