]]> Comment on Puerto Rican independence fighters denounce colonial rule by Jose M. Lopez Sierra http://eliacin.com/2008/06/puerto-rican-independence-fighters-denounce-colonial-rule/comment-page-1/#comment-898 Jose M. Lopez Sierra Sun, 20 Nov 2011 15:15:56 +0000 http://eliacin.com/?p=838#comment-898 Dear Friends: My name is José López from Bayamón, Puerto Rico. I am contacting you to see if you could help. The United Nations' (UN) Decolonization Committee is in its third decade of trying to eradicate colonialism in the world. In that effort, it holds a hearing every year around June (the month New York City holds its Puerto Rican Day Parade) to discuss Puerto Rico's colonial situation. It would be helpful if in next year's discussion there could be a full house in the hearing room with people interested in the decolonization of Puerto Rico. This hearing is not well publicized since some people would like to maintain the status quo forever. Could your organization spread the word out to your people so that those interested in attending the June 2012 hearing could do so? The exact date has not yet been determined by the UN. Thank you for your time in this matter! Sincerely, José M. López Sierra United Partners for the Decolonization of Puerto Rico 2012 http://todosunidosdescolonizarpr.blogspot.com/?v=0 Dear Friends:

]]> Comment on Why are we going to the Wild Goose Festival? A practice on Sacramental living. by Stephan Terblanche http://eliacin.com/2011/05/why-we-are-going-to-the-wild-goose-a-practice-on-sacramental-living/comment-page-1/#comment-879 Stephan Terblanche Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:06:50 +0000 http://eliacin.com/?p=2205#comment-879 Awesome post! The best description of 'sacramental life'. I take from this, that sacramental life is a lifestyle, rooted in Creation and Incarnation(sanctifying the material, intervening and makeing public God’s presence in the world). 'It testifies to a concrete expression of some new way of living in the world', the way it was meant to be for the Church in order to fulfill her mission to establish the Thousand Year Kingdom of Peace prior to His second coming. Ok, the last bit of Preterist teaching is my own addition, not a take away! ('',) THe following quotes (from different posts, arranged by me to make the point) is from another blog on sacramental living, Life Giving Spring (http://lifegivingspring.info/LGS/about/) and examines it from an orthodox/Ancient Faith) point of view: 'Elimination of all non-human Creation from the Kingdom of Heaven has also distorted Christian anthropocentic understanding of humanity as “crown of Creation” from one of responsiblity rooted in Divine Image of self-emptying humility to one of ungodly arrogance that tyrannizes and terrorizes all Creation'. 'Ancient Faith is theologically centered in types of Divine Image, or icon as represented in its sacred art, iconography. By comparison, theological types deviating from Divine Image are evident in imagery of Western European Romanism,...'and these deviiations '...in turn gave rise to Protestant reaction from within Rome's Western European sphere of spiritual influence, generating still more theological types, some of which eradicated sacred art altogether, and condemned veneration of icons as idolatry, as worshipping created matter instead of the Creator'. What followed was the 'loss of understanding of humanity as Created in Divine Image (icon), both Romanism and Protestantism departed from centrality of Christian theosis (deification) of Ancient Faith as the meaning and purpose of human life, thereby also forsaking orthodoxy and orthopraxis'. Greatly blessed being guided to your blog. I now have a framework that will speak to a Protestant audience - I'm afraid, to most 'sacramental life' smacks of Rome. I have a surprise for them though - the other way! Go East. Best I get a better understanding of orthodox theology. Icon/Divine Image and theosis/deification sound fascinating. Will definitely research western christianity's teaching on these two orthodox teachings. Thank you for a great blog! God bless Awesome post! The best description of ‘sacramental life’.
