Evans tells tragic and deeply moving stories of human suffering in his book, but maintains a sense of hope. He knows that when tyrants realize that they are human beings too, it can enable a connection to others, which is the beginning of reconciliation.

These are teaching stories in which ordinary and extra-ordinary people are the heroes. The book reflect the author's own groping search for the path to peace and justice, and elegantly portrays the intimate link between the local and global realities of the world. Evans has traveled the globe to meet with African warlords and the Dalai Lama, heads of state and victims of torture, to challenge the forces of injustice. He has negotiated with rebel factions in Sudan, and met under threat of death in the dead of night with families of 'disappeared' children in Sri Lanka. He knows what he's talking about when it comes to suffering and global injustice. In the words of Amir Hussain, a noted scholar and expert on Islam, "In Derek Evans' human-rights work a bad day is when prisoners of conscience are executed or people are tortured". In an article recently published in the 'Penticton Herald', Evans commented on many North American politicians' choices regarding the Middle East. He sees many wearing what he calls 'ideological blinders', and wanting 'quick-fix solutions,' while being 'unwilling to learn' about the needs of the regions and people they are in conflict with. These leaders have chosen to 'blast their way in and install democracy in six months', rather than learn about what will work long-term. Evans says these issues are complex and there are no quick fixes on the road to understanding. But helping leaders realize they are human beings can enable a connection to others, which is the beginning of reconciliation. Derek Evans is a writer, teacher, leader, scholar, and activist. His work in peace and human rights spans three decades and five continents. He is Principal of Evans & Associates, an independent firm providing professional consultancy services in the fields of conflict transformation, human rights, governance and strategic development. Evans is a regular political columnist and author of 14 books. He teaches at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC.

[PRWeb Apr 25, 2007] http://www.prweb.com/releases/ecological_crisis/climate_book/prweb521196.htm Thu, 26 Apr 2007 13:53:21 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com ecological crisis to the forefront in the minds of most people. The documentary film is a very powerful medium for shifting consciousness. Yet many of our political leaders still live with the delusion that businesses can't afford to make the kinds of changes to help save our planet. In March 2005, the United Nations released its Millenium Ecosystem Assessment. Among the findings, 2/3 of the world's ecosystems are seriously degraded, 90 percent of the world's fish stocks are depleted and climate change is not something that might happen - it's already happening. Many people are not willing to face the psychological, social, biological, and cultural aspects which a change in perspective on the environment can involve. Some will hear about the climate crisis and delude themselves into thinking that technology can and will save the day. A wiser and more helpful response, especially for Christians, is to find a way to step back into the flow of nature from which we have extricated ourselves. In Darwin, Divinity, and the Dance of the Cosmos: An Ecological Christianity (Copperhouse 2007) Bruce Sanguin shows us the way to find a spiritual solution by integrating ecology into our concept of God. Sanguin draws upon the work of mathematical physicist and cosmologist Brian Swimme and cultural historian Thomas Berry. Sanguin takes the next step of integrating evolution and the new physics with faith. The latest scientific understandings of the nature of the universe are woven together with biblical narratives, the teachings of Jesus, and a long suppressed wisdom tradition grounded in the feminine divine. The end result is a truly evolutionary Christian theology - a feat few theologians have even attempted. This new Christian way provides a vision to lead us out of the global climate crisis. Bruce Sanguin is an evocative, Earth-conscious minister at Canadian Memorial Church and Centre for Peace in Vancouver, British Columbia. He has been a United Church minister for 18 years; before that he was a practicing therapist. Bruce has a passion for reconciling science and religion. He is the author of Summoning the Whirlwind: Unconventional Sermons for a Relevant Christian Faith.
