2010 World Faith And Church Events. By Uncle Monty.

2010 World Faith And Church Events.
Compiled By Uncle Monty.
+
My indepth and select 2010 Calendar of World Faith

and Church Events is now uploaded and ready online.
Due to some earlier technical difficulties beyond my

personal control, such did result in an unfortunate

delay in posting the full list of religious conferences,

church conventions, interfaith symposiums, and
pastoral gatherings, from around the world,

for the upcoming year of 2010.
+

However, I am now able to post events already started

and for those now set for January, February, March,

April, May, June, July, August, September, October,

and November, 2010. Listings for December will be

posted once information is available for me to publish.

:: December ::

.

Listing for December, 2010, will be posted when

details are available for the 2010 World Faith

& Church Events.

.

If your organisation is holding a major religious/interfaith/church

event during 2010, or beyond in 2011 and 2012, and would like

to list such herein at thebiggerissue.org, then please send full

details ASAP to: newsscope@k.st.

.

The primary aim of listing the 2010 World Faith & Church

Events is to provide quality over quantity. Just to simply list

all and sundry doesn't make for much more than cluttered

and packed dates and venues of religion and faith going on

here, there and everywhere. Hence, the list herein is

limited to perhaps the more unusual and striking
gatherings around the world for the 2nd Decade

of the 21st century.

.

Faithfully, Uncle Monty.
+Advent, 2oo9.
+Eve of St. Andrew's.

His Grace, The Archbishop of
Canterbury and His Holiness, The Pope.

Worldwide Poll Finds Strong Support for Right to Criticize

Scientology a criminal organisation says Australian senator.

Melbourne, Australia (ENI). An Australian lawmaker has launched a

scathing attack on the Church of Scientology saying, "Scientology is not

a religious organization but a criminal organization that hides behind

its so called religious beliefs." In a speech to the Australian Senate on

17 November, Senator Nick Xenophon said the Church of Scientology

had a "worldwide pattern of abuse and criminality". The Church of

Scientology responded in a statement saying that the senator had

presented unsubstantiated allegations as if they were factual evidence

and by speaking under parliamentary privilege he had abused the

powers granted to him as lawmaker. Ecumenical News

International. 23 Nov. 2009.

Blogger Frank James for National Public Radio said "the so-called

war on Christmas appears to be escalating this year" in the United

States with the start of the Thanksgiving and Christmas season

marked by a national advertising campaign based on the slogan,

"No God?... No Problem!" The campaign by the Washington-based

American Humanist Association features a pictorial advertisement

with several smiling people wearing Santa hats. Emblazoned on the

advert is the slogan, which believers in non-theism say hinges on

the axiom that people do not need God in order to be, and to do,

good. Thanksgiving like Christmas stems from a religious feast

and many believe it began as a harvest festival celebrated by

Christian puritans who fled to America from religious persecution

in Europe. Ecumenical News International. 25 Nov. 2009.
