"HOW DID THIS GET HERE?" This fashionable question made famous in the late eighties was the sole reins for me to start the compilation of poems in this book. I have no idea 'HOW' this got here ... but once it was 'HERE' ... I was determined to make it ... at least ... memorable. There's a little back story to this compendium or my involvement in poetry. Frankly, I'm not truly a fan. Until very recently these flypaper words were just doodles and scribbles on torn paper and tatted notebooks, until a friend read one or two and remarked rather innocuously, if I had any others and wouldn't it be nice if there was a collection of them in one place.Well I have taken her advice and made sort of an anthology of them. They are from different periods of my life, so I hope you will please bear with me. What I knew as a young man, like most things I didn't understand until I was well into my forties. What are the odds of actually writing scribbles and then be fortunate to compile them and have them published? Well this is a chance for my words to have a mouthpiece. Meaning one of you out there. There's nothing better than being part of the echo of that nameless but great representative.

These are a selection of poems by Ayad Gharbawi. Wide-ranging poems in their purview on life and the choices facing Man. Persisting reminders tormenting awash with a dryness hurtful Punctured living watersGruesome mental scars Uncertainties debilitating Dangling insanityNooses chasing each otherThunderously excitingFestering gashesHere between myselfBetween us And so, what you feltOr whatever you feel for meI never fathomed what exactly was it

How can I summarize these poems except to say they represent my innermost thoughts and feelings-an exposure of my soul, if you will.They demonstrate the pain of past years, but suffice to say, that pain also allowed me to develop a sturdiness and doggedness that has served me well. Although it may not be evident, I more than survived and found contentment.I want to tell you that you can too!

Since its first use in the 1960s, the term 'Preferential option for the poor' has never stopped stirring up debates. This book examines its use in theology today. It turns to two contemporary Jesuits: Jon Sobrino (Liberation theologian) and Pope Francis (Representative of the theology of the people). From the comparative analysis of their understanding of the expression and considering new forms of human suffering as well as the sufferings of all of creation nowadays, this book suggests that the 'preferential option for the poor' should be replaced in theology today by 'compassion for the vulnerable'.

In the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, when the debate about same-sex marriage was active and leading to legislation, my wife and I followed the news avidly but with only one thought-same-sex marriage is wrong.As Christians, we believed in our marriage in church and in the vows taken. We could accept differences, and to us, the acts of civil union seemed to give same-sex couples an identity and a protection from abuse, which they were entitled to. When these acts were passed, it was not enough. Laws were passed to allow same-sex marriage, which to us, compounded the position. The element of same-sex couples denying their sexuality by contriving to become parents by utilizing, in some way, the services of the opposite sex seemed totally against the law of nature and the very sexuality that gays and lesbians had wanted legalized in the first place.Laws may be passed, but it does not mean that Christians and churches have to accept these laws as being scriptural and Christian. There is nothing in the Bible that supports same-sex marriage, yet general assemblies of denominations have approved same-sex marriage-often without the approval of individual congregations. This cannot be right in principle or practice.Sadly, my wife died in September 2015, but our united stance continues.
