Topics in future issues
The following themes are planned for the next two issues to be published in 2002. If any of our readers would wish to contribute to these issues, please contact the editor prior to sending in an article. Volume 17, no. 3 (September/October 2002) Religion and ViolenceIf all religions teach peace and love of neighbour, then why do we find so much fanaticism, a spirit of revenge and of outright violence among people who profess to be religious? We will try and find at least some tentative answers to these questions and plan to treat topics such as: The violent answer: are scriptures to blame? - Teachings on peace vs. histories of violence in Christianity and Islam; the concept of forgiveness vs. retribution in Christianity and Islam; Development in the teaching on violence, e.g. OT vs. NT in Christianity; Religious organisations dedicated to ending violence and promoting dialogue: WCRP, WCC, etc. Deadline: 26 July 2002Volume 17, no. 4 (November/December 2002) Human resources: our greatest asset?In comparison to other African countries, Kenya has a large reservoir of trained manpower. The question we wish to ask in this issue is: Are we making optimum use of this reservoir? Under this theme we plan to discuss such questions as: Does Kenya have an employment problem? Why do we have to recruit managerial talent outside the country? Exploiting human resources to the maximum: the role of professional societies; Creation of employment through modern means of communication: its ethical challenges; The human resources factor in social responsibility. Deadline: 27 September 2002
