About
Currently living in Culver City, California - the L.A. area, where I am a board member of Rev Leland Stewart's Unity-and-Diversity World Council . The UDC Board has recently determined to make a big push for a "world that works for everyone", and we have been getting a high level of interest when we approach other groups. There appears to be a global ferment. Now we need to hook everyone up in an open, democratic process.
Please see my wiki article, Global Assembly Dialog. Or even better, sign up directly at globalassembly.net. The Dialog has now begun, as of September 4, 2007.
Wiser Earth looks great. I am looking forward to the possibility of collaboration between the Unity-and-Diversity Global Assembly Dialog and the WiserEarth community. Please see the forum set up for the purpose of discussing a WE/GA alliance.
To get a conversation going about a possible collaboration, I will be contacting other WE community members one by one and in the forums, asking if you want to participate in the GA Dialog beginning early September, 2007. The idea is that by actual experience you will be able to decide if it really makes sense to work towards a WE/GA amalgam of some sort. To me it definitely does and I want to get us thinking and talking about the possibility.
As people sign up, I will list them here.
GA Participants So Far from WiserEarth (45 so far!)
If we can get fifty WiserEarth participants, then WE can be its own group in the diversity phase of the GA Dialog. Having a voice of its own in the Dialog will help build the WE sense of community, and that in turn will attract more participants to WiserEarth.

Roger,
Thanks for stopping in with the info on the Global Assembly Dialog coming. In regard to the issue of the use of the term imperium I assume somewhere within the dialog of the above global assembly shall be the letting go of preconceived notions or ideas that have been handed down from generation to generation. Well, across these generations I am afraid that the term imperium maybe got a bad rap label on itself. It's kind of like "bad dog" or "good dog" if all everyone see's is the "bad dog" than no one knows what the "good dog" even looks like. The same can be said for imperium - "bad imperium" or "good imperium" no one has seen or knows what the "good imperium" even looks like. To quote off Planetary Developments website about the term imperium used in the theoretical construction of the organization the Cooperated Linear Order of Non - aligned Descendances "its imperium which is nothing more than the amalgam of all the people from all the human disciplines that herald out of the immutable principles noted at any one time" you might more aptly call it in human terms an imperium of the mind where discussions and resolutions about issues across the human condition can reach the highest plains of thought. Or in this case "good imperium" not "bad imperium" as the term imperium has been previously known. I am just clearing this issue up here for all to see. Roger I am touching base here and look forward to communication in continuance. Peace and regards, Randy |

Hi Roger,
Sounds like you're doing some good stuff. There is a very simple way to work together on global problems, and I've started the process through this initiative: http://www.wiserearth.org/article/53b6707bcea92dfc91b0e64b2e889fcd All it needs to work is for people to start doing it. Please help spread the word if you think this is a good idea, or please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks, Sam |

Hi Roger,
I'd love to see some sort of partnership evolve between WiserEarth and the Global Assembly Dialog. WiserEarth exists exactly for this reason- to support initiatives like the GA. I'm interested to participate myself, but let me know if there's anything I can do to help or spread the word- Molly |

DEAREST ONE OF GOD
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr Gilbert Hamson. who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $2. 5 Million (Two Million Five Hundred U.S. Dollars ) in the bank here in Abidjan in suspence account.
Presently,the fund is still with the bank.Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is cancer problem. The one that,disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows,propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence i know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.
I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband’s relatives is around me always I don't want them to know about this development.. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan.I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Contact me on the above e_mail address for more informations, any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your
reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Deborah Hamson.
