I mention my faith-background in order to comment that, from my perspective, the progress towards understanding the Palestinian/Israel struggle in Palistine is difficult, or prejudiced, from the evangelical, dispensational, imminent second-coming, pre-millennial point of view. While I don't identify as evangelical theologically, as mentioned, I do, when it comes to this topic, find myself very much predisposed to the political position that Israel should remain a sovereign state (and that Palestine should be recognized as a state). I do believe that the Arab states, in general, are, policy-wise as a state, anti-semantic. I am very open to learning more and understanding views different from my own view my religious-induced view. Apart from my evangelical dispansational upbringing, I have, over the years (albeit through my religious grid) filtered things through conservative news report, as well as moderate news reports, that have influenced how I feel (note the word feel) about the Israel/Palestinian state. As a gay man who has been misconstrued by the church and society, I believe I find myself more open. However, whatever the minority one finds him/herself in, s/he still, more than not I feel, carries with him/her the legacy or impact of his parents' and environmental, developmental molding. It takes time and energy to deconstruct these political, religious predispositions and to reconstruct, in their places, something different but authentic to one's own independent thinking.Rev.

It seemed natural to choose South Africa as the focus country because you are there, Evelyn Washington spent 10 weeks at the university and traveling in the country. Paula Smith has also traveled there and has a project connected to a school in one of the townships outside Pretoria. I'm hoping the youth will help us with some research. In addition to their internet research, I'm hoping you will be able to help them with some of their questions and you will post some pictures to help us "see" South Africa and something about her people. <BR/><BR/>DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671180439414807139noreply@blogger.com
