Inspiring story from the pastor of Maria Church who helped 130 Lebanese refugees with church asylum in 1987. Up until now the church provides shelter for homeless people in one of the rough area of Copenhagen.

@DKinIndonesia
Matras2 diletakkan di sela bangku Gereja Maria, untuk digunakan sebagai tempat tidur bagi para tuna wisma. Ini daerah yang lebih banyak warga migran daripada penduduk asli Copenhagen.
Pastor Jens Johansen bercerita saat awal melayani pengungsi Timur Tengah, Gereja Maria menyiapkan 1 ruangan khusus tanpa ornamen gereja, untuk sholat. Jadi ada musholla di dalam gereja.

@DubesDenmark @DKinIndonesia
Sekarang di area sekitar Gereja Maria Copenhagen, sudah ada 7 masjid. Sunni, Syiah, Ahmadiyah, semuanya ada. - Pastor Jens

@DKinIndonesia
Di Misa Minggu Gereja Maria Copenhagen, hadirinnya beragam. Ada Protestan, Katolik, bahkan Muslim dari berbagai golongan. Tidak ada yang pindah agama. Mereka hanya ingin beribadah bersama sebagai satu komunitas. - pengelola Gereja Maria Denmark
Being involved in Interreligious Dialogue shed a light on our own religions. We learn more about our own religions by interacting with others. - Pastor Jens

@DKinIndonesia @DubesUniEropa
Whoops, sorry pak Vincent @DubesUniEropa, I intended to mention pak Rasmus @DubesDenmark. Slippery finger.

Kejadian pemakaman warga Katolik di Yogyakarta yang ramai hari ini membuahkan pertanyaan, sejauh mana nilai2 lama yang menjaga kebersamaan (inklusif) bergeser pada nilai2 baru yang menjaga kepentingan kelompok sendiri (eksklusif).
Pergeseran nilai2 akan selalu terjadi. Sedihnya, saat ini lebih bergeser ke arah mayoritarianisme: "Karena kami mayoritas, maka yang berhak menentukan segalanya adalah kami. Minoritas harus menghormati mayoritas". Ini tidak hanya di Indonesia, dan tidak melekat pada 1 agama.
Intoleransi sudah bukan lagi kasus, tapi sudah menjadi norma. Intoleran kepada mereka yang beridentitas berbeda (suku, agama, pilihan capres, dll). Padahal seharusnya yang kita intoleransi adalah penindasan, ketidakadilan, perpecahan & hal2 buruk lainnya. Bukan orang.

Jadi kalau kita menolak bendera ISIS dan HTI, kita adalah provokator & tukang goreng krn tidak mampu melihat itu sebagai Kalimat Tauhid.

Kalau kita menolak kalimat Tauhid dibuang diinjak dinista, kita adalah provokator & tukang goreng krn termakan adudomba.

Piye-piye?
Jadi kalau kita bela ulama2 yg diakui dunia spt KH Maimoen Zubair, Gus Mus, Prof Quraish Shihab, Gus Dur, kita disebut bela ulama liberal, syiah dll

Kalau kita tidak bela orang2 tertentu yg dimintai pertanggungjawaban atas perbuatannya, kita disebut anti bela ulama.

Piye2?
Jadi bagi kelp2 tertentu memaki, mendiskriminasi menolak rumah ibadah kelp minoritas adalah bukan bentuk intoleransi tapi hormati mayoritas.
Kalau banser & aktivis keberagaman menolak perilaku diskriminatif kelp2 tertentu, itu berarti banser & aktivis intoleran.
Piye piye?

Saya paham kawan2 mungkin bingung soal gusdurian ini ya. Kebingungan ini HANYA karena selama ini yang muncul di publik hanya @GUSDURians. Gerakan kader GusDur yg berpolitik baru bbrp tahun terakhir ini dikonsolidasikan.
Lebih tepat mungkin kita sebut saja semua yang mencintai GD sebagai Pengikut Gus Dur ya. Nah karena sepak terjang GD yg beragam, maka strategi gerakannya beda-beda. Oleh GD tidak dicampur. Bahkan saat GD dirikan PKB, NU tidak berfatwa harus PKB. NU tetap pada Khittah.
Kenapa begitu? Karena watak gerakan sosial kemasyarakatan dengan gerakan politik memang berbeda. Kalau semua dipolitikkan, ya blaen. Nanti polarisasi & serang-menyerang makin kuat. Tidak ada ruang tengah. Nanti rumah ibadah pun jadi ruang rebutan. Padahal tugasnya memandu umat.

One of the reasons I first got into bitcoin was because of the massive central bank money printing in 2009-2010, I figured that we had a few years of deflation ahead first, but then I'd eventually want to get the heck out of fiat. With Trump's recent pressure on the Fed,
2/ I finally see a clear path for what many have long discussed - the USD's loss of global reserve status and general confidence of investors. Typically recessions are deflationary; inflationary recessions are historically quite rare in comparison.
3/ Crypto probably is hurt by a deflationary recession, helped by an inflationary one. The current economic climate sets up unusually well for an inflationary recession with tight labor markets and the huge amounts of fiat sloshing around the system.

One of the difficulties when you talk to have someone who has a lot to say and speaks so well is fitting it all in (and all the more so these days), so there's a lot that didn't make it. Thought it might be nice to share some of that from Santi Cazorla …
Recently someone asked me if I felt like an example/role model to follow, an inspiration. And I said no. I’m not an example to anyone there are a lot of problems in life much worse than mine. All I have done is battled to keep playing football.
I’m sure there are lot of people in my situation who have fought just the same or more than me but because they don’t play football or because they are not famous, people don’t realise. If this can help, I'm happy.

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."

Here's the full study from @seattletimes article.

I have done several series on #homeless people and women and teens are at high risk for sexual assault due to their vulnerability and being "invisible" in society. There are few access points to report. scribd.com/document/38694…
There are some disturbing remarks in the threads on @seattletimes article. These imply that because the study was small, it's irrelevant. But that is quite obviously false. Every raped woman is relevant. And the coercion of Native women by non-Native men has historical context.
Native women are the least addressed in the context of the #MeToo movement. Homeless women are not mentioned at all. This @seattletimes article highlights that fact. For that reason and more it should be read and shared and discussed--but in no way dismissed.

People enthusiastically share this article, but I am genuinely curious about what it means. Obviously, the UK doesn't look like it's going to rescind Art 50. But it might be an interesting exercise to think through what would happen if they did
independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi… 1/
First things first. This isn't an official EU position. It's France. One of the member states. "Britain could still cancel Brexit and stay in the European Union on the same terms it currently enjoys, the French government has said." - what about the other member states? 2/
It's still legally unclear, as the article also says, whether Art 50 can be unilaterally revoked. If it can't, what if some country wanted to use a veto? Also, the EU will likely want some guarantees such as no referenda on EU membership in the next N years, probably. 3/
