Ethiopia: Water supply and sanitation in Ethiopia
Access to water supply and sanitation in Ethiopia is one of the lowest in the world. While access has increased substantially with funding from external aid, much still remains to be done to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of halving the share of people without access to water and sanitation by 2015, to improve sustainability and to improve service quality.
Some factors inhibiting the achievement of these goals are the limited capacity of water bureaus in the country's nine regions and water desks in the 550 woredas; insufficient cost recovery for proper operation and maintenance; and different policies and procedures used by various donors, notwithstanding the Paris declaration on aid effectiveness.
In 2001 the government adopted a water and sanitation strategy that called for more decentralized decision-making;
- promoting the involvement of all stakeholders,
- including the private sector;
- increasing levels of cost recovery;
- as well as integrating water supply,
- sanitation and hygiene promotion activities.
Implementation of the policy apparently is uneven. In 2005 the government announced highly ambitious targets to increase coverage in its Plan for Accelerated Sustained Development and to End Poverty (PADEP) for 2010. The investment needed to achieve the goal is about US$ 300 million per year, compared to actual investments of US$ 39 million in 2001-2002. While donors have committed substantial funds to the sector, effectively spending the money and to ensure the proper operation and maintenance of infrastructure built with these funds remain a challenge.
According to the 2000 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) access to improved water and sanitation was as follows:
* 22% for improved water supply (86% for urban areas and 13% for rural areas)
* 8% for improved sanitation (34% in urban areas, 3% in rural areas)
The World Bank quotes national (urban and rural) access figures of 42% for water and 28% for sanitation for 2005. These figures, for which no source is given, seem unusually high given the much lower estimates from the 2000 DHS and the absence of a massive investment program between 2000 and 2005.
Service quality
Rationing and service interruptions are frequent. There are no wastewater treatment plants in Ethiopia, so all wastewater collected in sewers is discharged without any treatment to the environment.
Responsibility for water supply and sanitation
In order to understand responsibilities in the sector it is necessary to provide a brief overview of local government in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is a federal state consisting of the following subdivisions:
* nine ethnically based regions or Kililoch with a population between 200,000 and 25 million each;
* 68 Zones with a population between 100,000 and a few million each;
* 550 Woredas or districts, with a population between 10,000 and more than 300,000 each;
* A large number of Kebeles, which constitute the smallest administrative units in Ethiopia.
In addition to the nine regions there are two "chartered cities" (Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa), where the lower-level administrative units mentioned above do not exist.
There is wide disparity in the capacity between the relatively more developed regions (Amhara, Oromia, Southern Nations, Tigray, Harari), where more than 90% of Ethiopians live, and the more pastoralist "emerging" regions (Somali, Afar, Gambella, Benishangul-Gumuz).
Policy and regulation
National policies are set by the Ministry of Water Resources (MWR) for the water supply sector and by the Ministry of Health for sanitation. In October 2006 a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed by both Ministries, as well as by the Ministry of Environment, to clearly define the roles and responsibilities of each Ministry.
Regional Water Bureaus and Woreda Water Desks are in charge of investment planning, monitoring and technical assistance to service providers. Their capacity to fulfill these tasks is often limited.
Water supply
Formally the MWR's mandate covers only water resources management and it has no legal mandate concerning drinking water supply. Nevertheless, de facto it is the entity in charge of setting policies for water supply and to channel donor funds in the sector to local government entities. MWR has 737 employees in eight departments and 10 "services". One of the eight departments is the Water Supply and Sewerage Department. The former Minister of Water Resources was Shiferaw Jarso, an irrigation engineer and politician from the Oromo Peoples' Democratic Organization (OPDO) which forms part of the ruling coalition government. Asfaw Dingamo is the current Minister of Water Resources.
In 2001 the government adopted a National Water Strategy prepared by the MWR. The overall strategy includes a water resources strategy, a hydropower development strategy, a water supply and sanitation strategy, and an irrigation strategy
Concerning water supply and sanitation, the strategy aims at:
* More decentralized decision-making
* Promoting the involvement of all stakeholders, including the private sector
* Increasing levels of cost recovery
* Integrating water supply, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities.
The strategy document does not include a diagnostic of the current situation. The water and sanitation part of the strategy alone includes 44 recommendations concerning technical, institutional, capacity building, social, economic and environmental issues. There is no priorization between the recommendations and the strategy does not establish mechanisms to monitor the implementation of the strategy.
The Ministry of Health is in charge of policies related to sanitation and hygiene promotion. It has adopted a Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion Strategy. De facto sewers in urban areas are under the responsibility of the MWR, while only the promotion of on-site sanitation is the responsibility of the Ministry of Health.
Service provision
Urban areas
In the capital the Addis Ababa Water and Sewer Authority provides water and sewer services. In other cities and small towns Town Water Boards are responsible for service provision. They are expected to contract out service provision to private operators.
Rural areas
In rural areas community water and sanitation committees operate water systems and promote sanitation. They are supported by woreda water and sanitation teams.
Regional water resources development bureaus play an important role in planning investments at the regional level and in capacity building.
The Ethiopian Social Rehabilitation and Development Fund (ERSDF) – a Social Fund established in 1996 - is also an important actor, especially in rural areas. It has financed almost 2,000 rural water projects serving about 2.5 million people. However, the government has decided to phase out the ERSDF and to re-deploy its staff to other institutions.
Recent developments
Creation of the Ministry of Water Resources (1995)
The Ministry was created in 1995. It took over many of the responsibilities of the water resources department of the former Ministry of Public Works.
Decentralization (since 1995)
Until 1995 the national government was responsible for planning and implementing water and sanitation projects. Under the 1995 constitution Ethiopia became a federal state, which implied the decentralization of many functions to lower levels of government. This process has now been under way for more than a decade, but decentralization has been hampered by the limited capacity of local government to carry out its new responsibilities.
National Water Resources Management Policy and related programs (1999-2002)
In 1999 the government adopted a National Water Resources Management Policy, which was followed by the establishment of a Water Resources Development Fund (2002) and a Water Sector Development Program. The latter includes a water supply and sewerage development program (nota bene the focus on sewerage and thus the absence of on-site sanitation from the program).
Plan for Accelerated Sustained Development and to End Poverty 2005
The government's PADEP, covering the period 2005-2010, aims at increasing access to improved water supply to 84% and access to improved sanitation to 80% by 2010. These ambitious targets go well beyond the water and sanitation targets of the Millennium Development Goals, which aim at halving the share of people without access by 2015. Given very low current coverage levels, institutional weaknesses and financing constraints it is unclear how this ambitious target should be achieved.
Tariffs and cost recovery
On average cost recovery is too low to recover operating costs, not to speak of providing adequate maintenance of facilities; Recurrent expenditures - estimated at US$ 29 million in 2001-02 - were financed primarily through user charges (64%), as well as by subsidies from the regional governments (31%) and the federal government (5%). Despite this overall bleak picture, a few service providers recover all operating costs and generate a modest cash surplus.
The National Water Resources Management Policy aims at full cost recovery for urban systems and recovery of operation and maintenance costs for rural systems. It is not clear if progress has been made to achieve this ambitious objective since the policy was adopted.
Investment and financing
There are no reliable estimates of actual investment levels in the sector, and available estimates vary greatly.
Actual investments
A detailed estimate of investment and financial flows in the Ethiopian water sector was carried out by the World Bank's Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) for the financial year 2001-02. It estimated total sector investments at US$ 39 million or less than half a dollar per capita, being one of the lowest recorded sector investment levels in the world.
Investment projections
The government estimates that annual investments in the 2006-2015 period will reach about US$ 100 million per year, or about two and a half times their level in 2001-2002. This projection is based on funding commitments made by donors and the government.It thus does not take into account bottlenecks in implementation due to limited capacities or other potential pitfalls.
The World Bank projects the 2008 investment level at US$ 100 million, including resources from a 5-year US$ 100 million World Bank loan for urban water supply and sanitation approved in 2007 and not yet disbursed.
Investment needs
The World Bank has estimated that the annual cost of achieving the government's targets to increase coverage until 2010 are about US$ 400 million "in the first few years" and falling to US$ 200 million "in later years". A detailed estimate by the government as part of its MDG Needs Assessment Report estimated investment needs at US$ 297 million per year for the period 2006-2015, roughly in line with the World Bank estimate.
In any case, actual investments are only a fraction - about one tenth - of what would be needed to achieve the government's goals.
According to the WSP estimate quoted above, in 2001-2002 only 9% of sector investments were funded by the federal budget, 55% through the regional budget, 33% off-budget by NGOs, 2% by the ERSDF and 1% by other sources. This estimate does not include community in-kind contributions, which are high for rural water supply and sanitation. A high but unknown share of the federal budget and probably also of the Woreda budget devoted to the sector is funded by donors.
Concerning projected investments for 2006-2015, it is estimated that 12% (US$ 12 million) will be funded by the government with its own resources, 15% (US$ 16 million) by communities and 73% (US$ 75 million) by donors. It is not clear if this estimate includes off-budget support by NGOs. Because of the different categories used, a comparison between the historical and projected sources of financing is not possible.
The financing system has evolved in line with the policy of decentralization. Thus, for example, the country's 550 Woredas now receive block grants from the central government and then can decide autonomously how to use these grants within broad criteria set by the Water Resources Development Fund (WRDF).[3] The WRDF is administered by a Board that is responsible to the MWR and is funded through budgetary allocations and donor funds.
External assistance
Donors finance a myriad of projects in water supply and sanitation in Ethiopia with different policies and implementation arrangements – some through the Federal Government and some directly to regions, towns and communities. As a result, according to the World Bank, transaction cost are high.
World Bank
* US$ 100 million credit/grant for urban water supply and sanitation approved in 2007
* US$ 100 million credit for water supply and sanitation approved in 20
African Development Bank
US$64 million grant for rural water supply and sanitation approved in 2005
Other donors
Other important donors in the sector are the EU, UNDP, UNICEF, AFD, FINIDA, JICA, GTZ, KfW, CIDA, DFID and the Netherlands.[19] There are also about 500 local and foreign NGOs, many of which are active in water supply and sanitation

Posted March 8, 2000
Interesting concept
As a christian, I've heard a lot about the book 'passion and purity', and so picked up a copy of 'quest and love' recently. I find elisabeth elliot's concept of finding true love very admirable, and some of the true stories in the book were just amazing. What great stories of faith! However, if I was single, I think I would still like to 'date' in order to find out more about the person that I am thinking of spending the rest of my life with. I think there is no 'right' or 'wrong' way of doing this, and hers is just one way of approaching the search for true love.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

547 Tasting Notes
This is one of those teas I didn't know if I wanted to buy or not. I'm not a huge fan of mint, but the combination of marshmallow root and malt sounded quite good. If the mint could be masked, I actually might enjoy it! This tea reminds me of those conversation hearts that are available around Valentine's Day — the minty ones. Sipping… I'm surprised that the mint isn't super strong. I don't taste a bunch of the marshmallow root, sadly. It ends with a very abrupt, sharp and almost bitter note. This tea is on the verge of tasting like toothpaste or mouthwash or gum.. but it's not as MINT! as I thought it as going to be — so good news! Very happy that I was able to sample this (thanks to the traveling tea box) and not have to buy a full pouch.
I love angel food cake and thought that angel food cake flavor + a white tea = dream. When I opened the pouch, I was hit with a scent that is almost identical to children's chewable Tylenol. Oh, it brought back memories of having to a) eat the stuff b) wash it down quickly with water after c) hope to never do that again. It's funny the way scents bring back memories even years later. After the water has been added, it's toned down a little bit and the white tea steps forward. I actually get a bit of a headache after smelling this one.
Sipping… good, it's not entirely Tylenol… but I taste artificial grape mixed with white tea? Eh.. not a good sign. As it cools, more pineapple comes out and the white tea becomes softer. I also get a tiny bit of something sweet in the background that reminds me more of candy than cake. I'm thinking of a Lifesaver candy… the piña colada ones? It's not explicitly a tropical holiday tea, but I definitely get that vibe.
So, I seem to be missing the mark with my cups of tea today. I hope I can find something to sip on that won't make me feel sick.
I enjoy a good dragonwell tea and seeing that this was the base for this blend — I thought, perfect! There is something about the pumpkin spices that really bothers me. I can't put my finger on what it is… the ginger? The clove? Nutmeg? Either way, it's not something that I want in my tea. I actually don't mind pumpkin spices when they are mild or mixed with something as in a pumpkin pastry or pie. I think that pumpkin spices are quite comforting around this time of the year, it's just when I can isolate one of them that ruins it.
This tea tastes mostly like pumpkin spice with a very faint green tea in the background. I do like the base and think it would be a nice tea on its own, if given the chance to be sipped without the addition of other flavors. All of the spices come together to create an outline of a pumpkin flavor, but it's not truly pumpkin. I continued to sip even though I had a pretty good grasp on what this tea was all about.. it's just not what I want it to be. As for the toffee? Can't taste it at all — it's all about the spices.
I never would have thought to combine jasmine with a Yunnan tea. I do like the idea, but this one's a first for me. I received this in a swap and as my message box and my own memory are failing me at the moment, I cannot remember who sent this to me. I apologize, but thank you nonetheless!
Sipping… this one is very interesting. The first thing that I taste is the jasmine. It's definitely nice and sweet — I like that it's not stinky as it sometimes can be. It's awfully strong, though. It stays present throughout the entire sip, but lets the Yunnan peek through every once and a while.. but just barely. The Yunnan is rather weak and tries to tone down the floral notes, but only manages to be present on the tongue for a matter of seconds. The jasmine takes over in the end and contributes a honey-like sweetness for a memorable finish.
This is a nice and unique combination of jasmine and Yunnan. I wish that the jasmine could be toned down a bit so that the Yunnan could shine through. Yunnan is such a nice tea on its own that it's hard to see why you'd want to add anything else that could potentially mask its natural flavors. This would be a nice choice for anyone who loves jasmine, but might want a different take on the tea base.
I just wrote a tasting note for this tea, but something happened with my internet and I lost it. I really don't want to write it again… so to summarize, I had two cups of this and didn't find either of them all that eventful. The scent of the tea was rather nice: floral and sweet. I could mostly taste the flowers with a hint of astringency, but no fruit or vanilla. The second cup was more like perfume than the first, but the astringency balanced out the flowers so I didn't get a headache (sometimes super floral teas are too much and make me feel sick). I wouldn't turn down this tea, but there are so many oolongs that are much more delicious.
The dry leaf of this tea smells like a dark chocolate bar with a hint of coffee. I am a big coffee drinker, so this smells quite good to me: dark, sweet, strong. After water has been added, it seems like the tea comes out quite a bit more and lends more of a sweet, roasted note. There is still a touch of chocolate in the background, but the tea itself is really the strongest.
Sipping… This is quite nice! It reminds me quite a lot of coffee with a hint of dark chocolate. I'm also picking up some caramel notes and a bit of wheat from the tea. This tea has a richness to it that I appreciate, but I'm not sure if it's because of the coffee/dark chocolate flavors or if it's because of a weird ingredient. When I think about buying more, the idea of finishing off more of this tea seems a bit daunting… strange because I don't entirely get the sensation of, "this tea is too much, just a few sips is good enough!" I'll give this tea another try to see if I can flesh that out a bit more.
This is quite a unique tea that is nothing like I've sipped in the past. I think it would be a good choice for coffee lovers or for those who like darker, deeper flavors in their tea.
I'm excited to try this one, even though it's a minty tea. I typically don't like mint in tea at all, but there are those rare moments when I do like a cup. The Christmas tree and candy cane sprinkles are so cute and the blend smells very creamy and minty! Once water has been added, I still get some sweet mint, but it's sort of masked by what I can only describe as a grassy pen in the zoo. It's definitely the puerh. Ugh, I wish that puerh and I got along better, but sometimes… it's just impossible.
Sipping… primary note is the mint which lingers on the tongue and then changes into the black tea base. I enjoy Art of Tea's black teas – malty, a little bit creamy and dark. The finish of this tea is of the puerh and it's earthy, stinky & fishy. I think that I would like this cup so much more if the puerh were put on a spaceship and sent to the moon. The mint is rather tame, soft & works so well with the black tea. A real shame that I don't enjoy this cup a bit more.
Thanks so much to TastyBrew for a sample! I'm glad that I tried it before dashing off to buy a bunch.
I like pineapple, but I LOVE cilantro. If I could put cilantro on everything I would… no, that's not true, but cilantro on certain things is absolute heaven! I'm not sure how this will be in a tea. It's certainly creative, but makes me a little bit nervous. The scent of the dry leaf is not all that pleasant — it's a little weird. After water has been added, the tea smells like pineapple, cilantro and cream! I'm surprised how good it smells. I haven't been the biggest fan of pineapple teas, but this one smells so good.
Sipping… I think the cilantro and the white tea come out first. The pineapple peeks out later, but adds the nicest sweetness to the creamy white tea. The cilantro reminds me a little bit of pine needles — grassy & green. What's interesting is that I wouldn't be able to identify the cilantro as cilantro and pineapple as pineapple if I didn't know they were in this blend. I don't think that I would repurchase this, but it's so unique and surprisingly nice!
Ever since I've finished off my little packet of Butiki's pumpkin milkshake, I'm finding that I miss it… I hope to pop that in a future order, but for now I have a whole pouch of this one to enjoy! This one smells much more like pumpkin pie and reminds me of the holidays. I smell cinnamon, a little bit of creamy pumpkin and just a hint of the black tea base.
Sipping… the cinnamon is the first thing to hit my tongue. It's closely followed by a bit of creaminess and finishes with the black tea. This one is quite nice! I wish that I could taste a bit more pumpkin and a bit more of that creme brulee. I actually think that this one is not quite as strong as the pumpkin milkshake. The cinnamon may be more tame, but the other flavors are a little too soft.
As I don't really like the strong cinnamon note in the pumpkin milkshake, but do like the oolong + cream notes and don't really like the soft flavors of the pumpkin creme brulee, but do like the creamy mouthfeel & muted cinnamon — I think that it's fair to give these teas the same rating. Definitely a great tea to have during the fall & winter seasons! Even though I'm still wishing for a touch more pumpkin + cream flavors, I can see a reason to have both of these in the cupboard! Might even treat myself to another cup!
The dry leaf smells so fresh, sweet & grassy! It's not often that a tea smells this fresh, especially when it's traveled across the ocean, but this one is so lovely.
Sipping… oh, this is really nice! I'm getting a bit of a honey combined with the nicest floral notes. I love how the flowers complement the sweetness of the cup instead of overwhelm everything. I don't taste a whole lot of vegetal notes that I detected in the dry leaf scent, but am enjoying the honey and flowers instead. This cup also lacks any astringency — everything is so smooth and sweet! Delicious!
Thanks to Teavivre for such a tasty tea!

I continue to read too many depressing accounts of our age, and of the Church, filling the blogosphere. ENOUGH! Some mock the notion of a springtime of the Catholic Church. Make no mistake, I understand their concerns. I am not naive. However, I absolutely reject their cynicism. I choose instead to be to live in the theological virtue of hope. We are living in a new missionary age.We are the missionaries.

CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - "So he said to them, "Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something." So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish. So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord."
"When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly clad, and jumped into the sea. The other disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards, dragging the net with the fish." (John 21)
My friend Fr Randy Sly, the associate editor of Catholic Online and a priest of the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, offered a wonderful homily based the readings for Mass on this Friday in the Octave of Easter. I have known Fr Randy for many years. I was honored to be a part of his journey to the full communion of the Catholic Church.
I was inspired years ago when he laid aside a full and fruitful ministry after having served faithfully for years as an Archbishop of a community in the Anglican tradition. After the establishment of the Anglican Ordinariate, he was invited to ordination. It was an honor to be present at both his ordination as deacon and as priest. It gave me great hope for our Church. These new Catholic priests are such a treasure and just in the nick of time!
Fr Randy is what I call an evangelical Catholic priest. He is in love with the Lord Jesus Christ whom he knows personally because he has encountered Him, and continues to encounter Him in a lifestyle led by the Holy Spirit. He also understands that he has been ordained for a new missionary age of the Catholic Church and has rolled up his sleeves, ready to do the work it entails. There are many priests just like him. Their numbers are growing. We need many, many more.
Along with them, there are a growing number of Bishops who have realized that the times we live in require a Church on fire with the Holy Spirit - and that they are the teachers who can light the flame. They are teaching with the kind of compassion, courage and conviction which is desperately needed. They understand that the choice is ours. We can curse the darkness and bemoan the collapse of the culture or we can rise to the hour and set the world of this day ablaze.So, they are sending out the fire of the Spirit to kindle the flame by their words and deeds.
Finally, there are a growing number of those ordained servants who are the lowest members of the hierarchy, ordained not unto the priesthood but unto service. Deacons are an order of clergy in the midst of the world. We go from the ambo to the altar and into the world - in order to bring the men and women of this world into the new world of the Church. We have a unique role to exercise in the new Evangelization of the Church and in this new missionary age.
Last, but certainly not least, are the growing numbers of renewed members of Christ's lay faithful who are on fire with the Gospel. One manifestation of the work of the Holy Spirit in our age is the growth of the ecclesial movements. We often feature the ecclesial movements on Catholic Online. We agree with the last few popes that they are the finger of God for this new missionary age.
They are for this millennium what many of the movements which became religious communities were for the last millennium. They are the resources, the living stones of which the Apostle peter writes in his first letter (1 peter 2:5) being built up into a spiritual house. It is no accident that these movements are such an essential part of much of what is alive and growing in the global catholic Church.
Benedict XVI once wrote concerning his first encounters with the ecclesial movements in these words "at a moment of weariness in the Church, at a time when we were hearing about "the winter of the Church", the Holy Spirit was creating a new springtime." Though each of these movements have their unique charism, they also have commonalities. They all invite Christians into an encounter with the Risen Lord which leads them into the mission of the Church, each member in accordance with his/her state in life and vocation.
The members of these ecclesial movements actually believe that the same Holy Spirit which animated the first century Church is available today to all believers. Of course, they are correct. The growth of the ecclesial movements in the Catholic Church is a testimony to a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit which is fueling a much needed missionary age of the Catholic Church.
Like Paul and Silas in the first millennium, all of these members of Christ's faithful, clergy and lay, are on fire with the love of God. They are ready to "turn the world upside down" (Acts 17:6) with the effective preaching of the Gospel in its fullness, in both word and deed.
I continue to read too many depressing accounts of our age, and of the Church, filling the blogosphere. ENOUGH! Some mock the notion of a springtime of the Catholic Church. Make no mistake, I understand their concerns. I am not naive. However, I absolutely reject their cynicism.
I choose instead to be to live in the theological virtue of hope. The cultures which the early first century Christians went into were very much like our own. What was different? The Christians were different! They had a living faith. They showed heroic virtue. They had no time for cynicism. They had a mission to accomplish. So do we!
The Gospel of today's Mass recounts the story of some apostles trained in the skills required of fishermen. However, they were unable to catch any fish. When they responded in obedience to the Lord and cast the net on the proper side, they caught so many that their nets were breaking.
When they stopped relying only on their own skills, stopped complaining about the circumstances, and chose to enter into the stream of living faith, they experienced the miracle. The miraculous provision filled them with awe and drew Peter to an appropriate action. He focused on Jesus and moved toward Him.
In Luke's account, Peter's action was accompanied by repentance, a very evangelical response to encountering the Lord. Jesus tells him, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men." The passage ends with the proper response from every disciple of the Lord, "When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him." (Luke 5)
Those words formed the basis of a 2001 letter from Blesses John Paul II entitled "At the Beginning of the New Millennium." He called for a rebirth of a missionary spirit in what he called a New Evangelization. His Holiness Benedict XVI continued the call in both word and deed during his wonderful service in the Chair of Peter.
Now, with our Holy Father Francis, we are witnessing a missionary Pope, perhaps like few in history. He has done nothing but evangelize from the moment he stepped out onto that balcony at St Peters. His words and his actions have set the tone. There is no doubt in this deacon's mind that he is leading us all to embrace the missionary moment in which we live. He is calling us to live our lives in the heart of the Church for the sake of the world. He is sending us out in response to the command of Jesus to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. (Mk 16:15, Lk. 14:23, Mt. 28:19)
Jesus Christ is Lord. His salvation is extended to all men and women. The Church is God's plan for the entire world. The early Fathers called her the world reconciled. Through Baptism, we were born into a new relational reality; we now live in the Church for the sake of the world. We are called to love the Church with the affection of sons and daughters because she is our mother.
There is no plan B through which He will save this world. He established One Church through which to continue His work until His return. She has undergone purifications and reforms many times throughout her missionary journey for over two thousand years. Her hull may be battered but she is still the Ark of Salvation.
Church history demonstrates that seasons of purification are usually followed by times of great restoration and triumph for the Church. So it is in our own day.This Church that is called Catholic is not a mere human institution. If it were, it would have shipwrecked long ago.
The Church exists to evangelize and that the essential nature of the Church is missionary. The Catholic Church has always taught that every single human being on the face of the earth has a right to hear the liberating Gospel message of Jesus Christ as fully revealed in the heart of His Catholic Church. That will be accomplished in this hour by you and me, no matter what our state in life, or specific vocation.
We are all baptized into Christ to participate in the saving mission of His Church. However, in order to be able to engage such a missionary task, many Catholic Christians need to be renewed in their own Baptismal faith through a personal and transformative encounter with the Risen Lord. In addition, that encounter with the Risen Jesus Christ needs to be strengthened and secured by solid catechesis in living as a Catholic Christian. This is what is meant by the New Evangelization.
This New Evangelization invites each of us to live our baptismal vocation, completely given over to the work of the Lord, in the heart of the Church. It is meant to bring about an authentic renewal of the Church so that she can then undertake a new missionary outreach to the whole world. Only a Church fully alive in the Lord and filled with His Spirit can carry out such an evangelical mission.
The Church is the Ark, the boat, presided over by the Lord. He is at the helm, steering His redemptive course through time. The Lord of the harvest is calling workers for the New Evangelization and the new missionary age. He is sending us out on mission, fishing for men, women and Nations. He will work His saving and redemptive mission in and through us, because we are members of His Mystical Body, the Church.
I believe we are at the beginning of a great resurgence in the Catholic Church precisely for this new missionary age. Just when her opponents are ready to count the Catholic Church out, the sleeping giant is rising. Along with the needed purification of the Church, the seeds of a new springtime are beginning to sprout.
For example, the fact that the ecclesial movements are flourishing, new and renewed religious communities are growing, new and renewed Colleges and Universities, desirous of being fully and faithfully Catholic, are flourishing, all point to the work of the Holy Spirit. They are the seedbed of vocations, sending out missionaries into every segment of the fields of this age which are ripe for harvest. There is a growing dynamically orthodox Catholic faith and life being manifested among the lay faithful.
The movement of our Anglican friends into full communion, the growing number of other Christians' coming home to the full communion of the Catholic Church, the movement toward the healing of the division between East and West, are all signs of a resurgent Catholic Church and a new missionary age.
The Lord who birthed the Church from His wounded side on Golgotha's Hill her and died for her is purifying her and renewing her by His Spirit to continue his redemptive work until he returns to bring it to completion. He has been raised from the dead and now walks with our feet. This is the Dawn of a New Missionary Age. We are all missionaries. Let's get to work!

Is LSU vs. Alabama for the national championship a done deal or isn't it? There's few people (if anyone) more qualified to answer that question than CBSSports.com BCS formula guru Jerry Palm, and in this edition of the CBSSports.com College Football Podcast, Palm answers that exact question from our Adam Aizer. Also up for discussion: what impact a Georgia win in the SEC championship game might have on the overall BCS picture, whether Michigan can nab a BCS at-large berth after the Wolverines' big win over Ohio State, and what other teams might be able to sneak into the BCS backdoor in the final week of the season.
But wait ... there's more. Following Palm, our J. Darin Darst joins Aizer to talk over the week 13 that was: the rivalry wins, the lousy quarterback performances, the best five teams in the country regardless of record, and more. To listen, click below, download the mp3, or open the player in a separate browser window. You can read Jerry Palm's bowl projections here and his BCS blog here.

So since this is the "sharing support" section. What exactly constitutes support? I have my answers but am curious as to what others think. How do we interject on what we may feel is bad advise, without getting into a debate? One last question, this board is listed in the Relationship Problems section. Doesn't that automatically conger up Porn as a problem. Since we have a porn works for us section shouldn't we be part of the sex and sexuality?
Just some food for thought to get the posting going again.
|Wed, 10-20-2010 - 10:17pm
I think support can constitute expressing a different perspective than the poster has. I feel that support can mean saying "I empathize with what you are feeling and can understand why you are frustrated, but have you considered x,y, and z?"

But what if a person is just kinky like me and is looking to find out how others use porn in their relationship?

Oh and BTW can some one please alphabetize the boards listing? Its like there is no

I also think that there's more complete support if there is more than one point of view, and if it's only in one section, it's might go in the direction of the other board where everyone sits around and complains, but no one knows how to do anything else.

Tap water fix in West Virginia still days away, official says
Published on Jan 12, 2014 8:00 AM
CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA (REUTERS) - Tap water in Charleston, West Virginia, and nearby communities will remain unsafe in the coming days, an official said on Saturday as residents spent a third day unable to bathe, shower or drink from the faucet due to a chemical spill tainting the Elk River.
As much as 18,927 litres of industrial chemical 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, or Crude MCHM, leaked into the river on Thursday, state officials said.
The spill came from a tank belonging to Freedom Industries, a Charleston company that produces specialty chemicals for the mining, steel and cement industries, authorities said.
Governor Earl Ray Tomblin on Friday declared a state of emergency for nine counties, with the affected area including the state capital of Charleston, the state's largest city.

I'm sorry that some of you have experienced problems with starting a new thread - over the past 24 hours or so you may have been confronted with a message telling you that you must use at least five words in your thread title.
This was a new feature that we introduced rather hurriedly, and it hasn't worked as well as we had hoped. For that reason we are going to disable it, and revert to our previous system, at least in the short term. I'm hoping that will happen very soon, but it's a weekend, and that may mean it takes a little longer.
In the meantime, try to use a five-word thread title, and all should be well. Thanks for your patience while we sort this out.

Game Party Wii
- Publisher: Midway
- Release Date: Nov 27, 2007
- Summary: Game Party for the Wii is a collection of classic skill games from around the world, from American sports venues to European gathering spots. Using the Wii's unique control interface, you can play classics such as darts; modern favorites such as table hockey and hoop shoot, or participate in multiplayer trivia contests. More than a half dozen games are available. [Midway]… Expand
- Developer: Midway
- Genre(s): Party
- Cheats: On GameFAQs
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 8
Mixed: 0 out of 8
Negative: 8 out of 8
So, the conclusion is this: you got a free game with your Wii when you bought it right? Just play that.
Game Party is undeserving of the Wii. The games on display are awful, but the execution manages to be even worse. There is absolutely no fun to be had here, just frustration in large doses.
With an eye toward putting on some beer goggles to make the game better, we turned to the bottle. Ping Cup has the potential to be a decent drinking game but, again, the controls were mixed.
Game Party is one of those games that you will try your best to forget ever existed if you're unfortunate (or indeed stupid) enough to actually play it. All of the elements, from the god-awful controls to the disgusting character design, add up to create a game that no one should experience.
The Game Party experience is like going to a party where there's nothing to drink but Tesco Value brandy and there are only four other guests and they're all racist and then your ex turns up and gets off with a Danish supermodel. Would you pay GBP 19.99 to go to that party?
Score distribution:
Positive: 5 out of 14
Mixed: 2 out of 14
Negative: 7 out of 14
JohnW.Dec 10, 2007Great Party Game!!! For just $20 bucks you're going to find something in this game you will like! Shuffleboard is the best in my home!
AndreaDec 28, 2007This game is very fun...it is also very addicting! Especially the pop-a-shot!
DickDOct 28, 2008If you take the time to learn how to play the games they are fun and entertaining. To exit any game just press the home key on the controller to return to the Wii menu. For the price it is a good game for family gatherings or parties. The graphics are not up to par for serious gamers. We have had players from ages 3 to 64 compete and enjoy the games.… Expand
SharonLDec 29, 2008Darts, trivia, and shuffleboard are the only ones worth my time. The others were difficult to control. Luckily I bought this one used, and it's going back to exchange for something else.… Expand
DanDec 9, 2007Nothing works in this game. the controls are absolutely crap, and the game seems to randomly add realism. for example in the table hockey, your puck will fly off the table at any speed, yet you can not hit the puck hard. there simply is no variable speed, so how exaclty does it fly off the table? this goes with all of the games. it randomly adds errors and mishaps as if you are doing it. there is no way of building skill in this game because of that. the only reason this game gets a 3 and not a zero is because the trivia game is a good 20 mins time waster. bottom line, game is total crap.… Expand
ShansterGApr 18, 2009Too frustrating, non-intuitive controlling.
JoshN.Dec 26, 2007The worst game I ever got. I own lots of WII games and this one is total crap. I hate the fact I can't return a game like this one. I am not able to exit any games as there are serious controller issues on mine. Basically I enter a game and have to complete the mini game before I can quit. Who wants that? If I want to quit I should be able to do it any time I want. I want a refund!!!!!!! AND THE GAMES AREN'T FUN!!!!!… Expand

G.O.O.D Music's Pusha T recently shared his thoughts on today's rap game, specifically, what five hip-hop artists have things on lock these days.
While he included himself and Kanye West, Pusha named perceived music rival Drake in his top five rundown.
"If I had to just name out five right now, right now, who's just doing they thing, I would say myself," Pusha said. "I feel like I get busy. I feel like I do it in the spirit of hip-hop, I feel like I take risks — I feel like Kanye West is definitely on that top ten, that top five because if you look at the top ten, four people on that top ten were influenced by what Ye got, including myself, Chainz, Sean and Ye himself. So I think you got to put him in there. I think you got to put Kendrick in there. I think he's like, he's killing the game. I think you have to. I think you got to put Drake in there as well. You know what I'm saying? He's rapping. I think you got to put Ross in there as well just because his presence in the clubs, so on and so forth is heavy and his movement with his guys, Meek, he ushered them out, Wale, and stuff like that. I feel like that's five strong in different categories and you can even look at everybody for who they are and be like, 'Okay, I can see why he's thinking that.'" (Hot 107.9)
In February, Pusha spoke on his readiness to battle the Young Money team but also acknowledged they make quality music.
"Listen, at the end of the day, I'm ready for anything and anybody," Pusha said in an interview with DJ Whoo Kid. "I don't, this is music to me, like, this is music, this is something I'm good at. Like, it's something that I'm very good at. Like I said man, I'm spiteful. I'm saying, you're asking me, so I've got to tell you, that's real. I don't shy away from anything. I'm not into it like that. And like I said, I keep it tasteful. I keep it tasteful and I keep it hip-hop, I keep it rap. Like, that's it. I ain't trippin'. And I'm not here to discredit what they've achieved. Drake is good. This is like real talk. These guys are good." (Whoolywood)
Despite some exchanged words, Drake previously spoke on his admiration for Pusha.
"I listened to it and I just couldn't pick it out. I couldn't pick out where I was supposed to be offended," Drake told radio personality Funkmaster Flex Thursday (October 13) night. "Everyone was just like, 'Oh you got dissed in this song by Pusha T.' First of all, I've never really had any interaction with Pusha T so for him to diss me would be purely issues that he's having within himself…We've met but we've been just always cordial with each other. I'm a fan of The Clipse. I say it in interviews. So I've never really had any issues with him. But it's a frustrating time for a lot of people right now, I get it. So if it was directed at me, just make it a little more direct next time. I'm up for whatever man. I didn't take offense to it though." (Hot 97)
Last fall, the G.O.O.D Music rapper discussed his publicized feud with Drake's mentor Lil Wayne.
"I put out a record. He puts out a record. Like I said, it's not about diss records to me. It's about making good music. I feel like everything I've put out thus far in regards to anything that has to do with me having an issue or so on and so forth, has been an immaculate record," Pusha said in an interview. "I can't say that for everybody else. Everybody else who may have thrown a shot here or thrown a shot there, whatever the case might be, at me, I can't say their record was awesome. I think that I was shaking souls with 'Exodus.' I think I was shaking souls with 'New God Flow.' … It's not a personal beef. I don't personally know any of them. These guys have made great music in their day. These guys got fans, tons of fans, so I can't really let anybody speak ill, somebody with that many fans and somebody with that type of visibility and with that type of history, I can't just let them make statements against me and be quiet about it. That can be viewed as a victory." (Booska-P)
