has opened new perspectives. Advancement in IT has prompted
talk about an “intelligent machine”, the human
factor being polarised within the dichotomy of an anonymous, brilliant
programmer and an anonymous, enslaved operator. A practical
materialism urgently needs a counterbalance in the form of a humanised
worldview, based on a well-proven legacy of Western, European heritage
still in competition, in Australia, with indigenous beliefs and
oriental philosophies. British underestimate is challenged by
American overestimate as a method in assessment of phenomena.

| Interfaith
dialogue Waldemar Niemotko Interfaith
(interreligious) dialogue could be seen as an exchange of spiritual
gifts. It requires quite a skill in maintaining balance
between a
dialogue and a mission, in adherence to the Magisterium of the
Church. Pope John Paul II stated in March 2000: "What
dialogue
demands of all of us is that, holding to what we believe, we listen to
one another, seek to discern all that is good and holy in each other's
teachings, and cooperate in supporting everything that favours mutual
understanding and peace." The Pope invited the leaders of
different religions to pray together in Assisi (Italy) on 24 January
2002.

| The
Mesopotamia Cyber Tower: An Iraqi Refugee Tells His Story Prepared by international team Countries of
the European Union do their best in offering a shelter and new hope to
Iraqi refugees. Those distressed people brought with them all sorts of
bizarre experiences. They told stories in their native Arabic, then
followed a translation into the language of the host country and,
eventually, into English. The material traversed the globe for the
final editing process here down under to match the Australian spirit
of compassion to those in misery. The main objective at hand is to
preserve the authenticity of original testimonies.
