Twenty-Five Years in Kashmir

Twenty-Five Years in Kashmir

John Ray

Signal Books Ltd
2019
sidottu
This book contains John Ray's personal life account as Principal of the Biscoe School in the heart of Srinagar between 1962 and 1986. Intended as 'something to give leaving students', it touches on people and events in a very different age. Hippies, chief ministers, bishops and Kashmiri people of every background crowd the stage, set against the background of a school extraordinary in its range of adventurous activities. Jyoti Sahi's drawings picture the now vanished Kashmiri scene and Wajahat Habibullah's sobering foreword recalls the narrative from stories of a time gone by to consideration of the harsh realities of the present. Anyone concerned for Kashmir, or indeed for the pressures of living across cultures in today's identity-seeking landscape, will find much interest here.

My Homeland and the Wide World

My Homeland and the Wide World

John Ray

SIGNAL BOOKS LTD
2024
nidottu
After John Ray's experiences related in his 2018 Twenty-Five Years in Kashmir, comes this more general reflection on an eventful life. The author watched the Battle of Britain from a Surrey field as a twelve-year-old and during his schooldays cycled the length and breadth of England when unpoisoned hedgerows were still full of flowers. This was his homeland. Student years at St Andrews inspired a love of mountains, then came a 'surprising National Service' beside the Russian zone in Austria and a job initiating mountain expeditions at Gordonstoun. Next, in northern Pakistan, culture shock led to finding faith, and to meeting Catherine, a Scottish medical missionary. Their family home was to be across more mountains, in Srinagar, capital of Kashmir. As Principal of Srinagar's leading school, John Ray also found himself 'Unofficial Correspondent' to the British High Commission in New Delhi. His life became yet more crowded when ordained, but it was the arrival in Kashmir, bedraggled and drug doped, of the hippies, and a friend's question - 'What has happened to England?' - that turned him towards multicultural Birmingham, to Muslim Sparkhill, and to relating to all in schools, churches and charities. Now from the tranquility of a Yorkshire village the author considers the contested legacy of the 1960s 'freedoms' in Britain today. Those who have deeply influenced him include especially Dr Erich Meissner, Gordonstoun's philosopher-historian, and Bishop Lessie Newbigin. In the face of new monsters such as climate change and Artificial Intelligence he finds grounds for hope for his grandchildren and future generations in his faith.

Mississippi

Mississippi

John Ray Skates

WW Norton Co
2008
nidottu
To many Americans, Mississippi means Natchez and Vicksburg, white columns and cotton. For the people who have lived there, however, Mississippi has been a decidedly different place. Depending on who you were, and where and when you lived, Mississippi could be a much worse or far better place than that portrayed by its romantic image.

The Invasion of Japan

The Invasion of Japan

John Ray Skates

University of South Carolina Press
2000
nidottu
For many years, scholars and non-scholars have debated the ethics of dropping the atomic bomb, but have rarely studied American plans to invade Japan - the alternative to using the bomb to end World War II. Widely held beliefs about Japanese forces and the projected loss of American lives have been invoked to justify the decision to drop the bomb. This examination argues that the invasion plan, code-named ""Operation Downfall"", has not until now been sufficiently studied to allow such a justification.

Walking in the Shadow of the Leader

Walking in the Shadow of the Leader

John Ray Laura

Writers Branding LLC
2023
pokkari
Book synopsis: This book is really a handbook designed to help young and newly called ministers to get a better understanding of how to discern their duties to the head shepherd of the local church they serve.Autobiography: I have chosen to write this book because I feel that too many church leaders within a church ministry have a mis-conception of what their role is to the chief leader of the christian church. For many years I have witnessed how pastors have had to struggle with frustrations with dealing with people they have appointed to serve with them and they have become overbearing or just dis-repectful to the roles they have been assigned to function in. I've listened to many pastors complain about how their associate ministers feel that he is obligated to provide to them more responsibilities than they do. And to many times pastors have to spend to much valuable time re-directing assistant leaders to understand how to work with him in harmony to maintain a cooperative leadership team that supports the head pastors agenda for the church he is responsible for. This book I hope will help all leaders within a church ministry understand it is a privilege to be used by a pastor in their church and encourage them how not to be a hindrance to the culture and progress of the ministries success.
