UESI-Delhi Regionalisation

UESI-Delhi has been divided into 7 regions: East, West, North, South, Central, South-West and North-West. Each region can have Regional Committee (this will suffice for now). Each Regional Committee can comprise of at least Regional Secretary, Regional Treasurer and 2 students members (plus staff as ex-officio). Each region can then plan for its own, and implement the plans accordingly. The regions can include EC, DTC, LTC etc in their planning, but urged to keep those days reserved for combined programmes of all regions free.

This concept of regionalisation was initiated in 2005. There were various reasons why such initiative was taken. Firstly, it was felt that when programmes were organised not everybody could take part actively though there was such desire. Reason being that 20 graduates were not required to run a camp of 40 students! But regionalisation would enable every member to take part without overcrowding the programme. And with the number of students increasing every year it was required to organise to more camps instead of having one BIG camp. And with students having different calender it was all the more plausible to organise more camps. Hence, regionalisation was initiated for more participation from the members.

Secondly, having a centralised programmes constraint only few graduates to take part in a programme . But these few graduates cannot do the follow up alone because the size of the city was just too large for effective centralised follow-up. But if programmes were organised at a regional level, there could be more graduates and all these graduates would have established relationship with the students. And therefore follow-up would become much more efficient.

Thirdly, as ministry grew in size there was the need to organise more programmes; and sometimes different kinds of programmes too. Organising all of these centrally was getting too taxing for the committee members. So it was felt that regionalistion would help the committee members to attend to other things, and let them coordinate only those things which would be really necessary to conduct centrally.

Evolution and Creation

Evolution and/or Creation has generated so much of discussion. Whether we like or not the controversy is likely to continue for some more time. Textbooks on Biology are filled with ideas undergirded by the theory of evolution. Christians take on the issue has been diverse. Some see evolution as opposed to the teaching of the Bible underscored in Genesis 1-2. Others see it differently. Young Earth Creationists interpret the Genesis text ‘literally’, and concluded that God created the heavens and the earth some 6,000 to 10,000 years back. Ministries like Answers in Genesis, Creation Ministries International and Creation Science Research etc are proponents of this view. For them theory of evolution is not true and it “propagates an anti-biblical religion”. ( Refuting Evolution , Jonathan Sarfati). Others like Phillip Johnson, William Dembski, Michael Behe, Lee Strobel et al have a different take. Intelligent Design movement’s, perhaps, most able proponent Phillip Johnson in his cha...

Symposium on Darwinism

North Delhi EGF in collaboration with Kingdom International (KI) North and Union Evangelical Fellowship (UEF) is organising a talk on Darwin’s Bicentennial Birth Anniversary & 150th Year of The Origin of Species On Thursday, 12th Feb 2009 At 2099, UEF Centre, Outram Lines North Campus Time 3:45pm Abstract No other person in history has generated as much controversy as Charles Darwin. This year, February 12 marks the 200th birth anniversary of this enigmatic man, and 150th year of The Origin of Species. To many, Darwin provokes two extreme emotions which often feed each other. Either he is a notorious charlatan and the chief disciple of Lucifer out to deceive the faithfuls. Or at the far end, atheist fundamentalists like Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett and others proclaim with dogmatic certainty that Darwin’s work has obviated any place for God, thereby making it possible for the first time to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist. Outside of narrow academic circles, ignorance abou...

Female Foeticide and Christmas

Several e-mails received during the last few days began with the sentence - “Christmas is round the corner”. Indeed it is - at this time, year after year! But over a 100 million girl babies world-wide never got a chance to turn that corner. Foeticides, infanticides, newborn neglect and abandonment deprived them of their lives. Over 80% of these babies were from China and India [1] . The British medical journal Lancet estimated that 10 million female babies were aborted in the last 2 decades in our country. It also reported that pre-natal sex selection causes the loss of 500,000 girls each year in India. While reports of violence and murder would make for uncomfortable reading, do these mass murders of girls over the last few decades make us shrink and squirm with horror and shame? It is only fitting that at Christmas time when we celebrate the birth of a child who grew to be our Savior, we take time to consider the fate of millions of girl babies and the loss to the world by their un...
