The Reflection Cafe: On Faith (Sacred and Secular: Religion and Politics Worldwide) Book Review by Os Guinness Religion is the key to history, Lord Acton wrote.
In today’s intellectual circles, however, it’s more like the skunk at the garden party. To many intellectuals, religion is a private matter at best, and most appropriately considered in terms of its functions rather than the significance of its beliefs, let alone its truth claims. At worst, it’s the main source of the world’s conflicts and violence—what Gore Vidal, in his Lowell Lecture at Harvard University in 1992, called “the great unmentionable evil” at the heart of our culture. .Such grim assessments are certainly debatable. .Is religion central or peripheral? .The massive and detailed evidence of religion’s significance worldwide is unquestionably the chief benefit of the book, helpful even for those who will disagree with the authors’ conclusions. .The weight of all the data, interestingly, points somewhere between the extremes of the debate.

Rough Cut . Northern Ireland: Uneasy Peace . Background Facts and Related Links. Northern Ireland: A Profile Northern Ireland is the six counties that sit in the northeastern tip of the island of Ireland and it is ruled by Great Britain.
The other 26 counties make up the Republic of Ireland, which succeeded from Great Britain in 1922. Outside Belfast and Londonderry, Northern Ireland is mostly rural, and its grasslands support dairy and beef operations that form the bulk of the agricultural economy. The country first became known for its shipbuilding and high quality linens. English is the primary language, but Irish, also referred to as Gaelic, is also recognized. In the 19th century, Irish peasants' dependency on potatoes brought disaster when blight devastated an entire year's crop. The 2001 census reported that 53 percent of the population of Northern Ireland is Protestant and 43 percent is Catholic. An impressive 79 percent of Northern Ireland's young people continue schooling beyond the age of 16. Political History. MarcGopin.com Marc Gopin.com Conflict Resolution and Religious Peacemaking.
