Malaysia has applied to ADB for a loan to build oil-palm mills, and two weeks ago the bank signed a technical-assistance agreement with the Philippines under which ADB will send five experts...
...style remains to be seen. But the World Council's General Secretary Eugene Carson Blake warned that "the ecclesiastical establishment worldwide had better look hard to try to discern what God is now requiring of us as we are disturbed by the rods of anger."
