'The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel. He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.' Psalm 147:2,3
My dear brothers and sisters,
Greetings in the precious name of our Risen Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!
It is my great joy to be writing to you twelve months after GAFCON 2 here in Nairobi! Please join with me in giving thanks to God for the great blessing of that wonderful time of fellowship, teaching and renewal. Despite many challenges, we brought together 1358 delegates, including 331 bishops, from 39 countries – and we paid all the bills! We eagerly look forward to GAFCON 3, but in the meantime there is much work for us to do.
The recent news that Lambeth 2018 has been postponed, perhaps indefinitely, is the latest sign that the old institutions of the Communion no longer command confidence. We must remember that the fundamental reason for this is doctrinal. We are divided because the Faith is threatened by unbiblical teaching.

Economic forces are also jeopardizing national stability. Growth rates — in some sectors topping 15 percent in investments in the last few years — have been obliterated. London Mining, one of the key contracts secured by the Sierra Leonean government during this period, has announced it will be going into bankruptcy. The extractives industry is not what it used to be and stock for the London-based company tumbled dramatically in the last year as the price of iron ore declined. As a result, the company is reneging on a covenant with the people of Sierra Leone for thousands of jobs at its mine in Marampa and a needed injection of tax revenue.
When young people are unemployed and desperate, mischief occurs. In the southeastern city of Bo, for instance, crime — too often violent crime — has been rising. With police now occupied in responding to calls from infected households or keeping the curious away from dead bodies, they cannot monitor the city as before.

Much as the Arab spring toppled western allies in north Africa such as Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, what demonstrators called Burkina's "black spring" led to the resignation of President Blaise Compaoré. His departure removes an important regional supporter of both Washington and Paris, the former colonial power, in the volatile Sahel, where the jihadist threat is growing.

This shift—from the American Muslim community being perceived as foreign and an extension of the Middle East and South Asia to American Muslims instead influencing the East—is the direction in which Muslims are heading. Rampant authoritarianism in the Muslim world and the regression of Muslim religious establishments funded by the same autocratic governments currently make Islamic reform unlikely in the region.
American Muslims can significantly contribute to the revival of Islam and restore human dignity as a central principle of the faith. From despotic regimes to religious extremism, authoritarianism in the Middle East and South Asia has devastated modern Islamic thought over the last few centuries. American Muslims have the freedom and the intellectual capacity to create positive change for Islamic reform.

It follows the publication last week of a critical report into his handling of allegations against Robert Waddington, the former Dean of Manchester, who abused choirboys and school pupils in York, Manchester, London, Carlisle and Australia, over five decades.
The inquiry, overseen by Judge Sally Cahill QC, found that Lord Hope, who dealt with two of the cases, did not refer the accusations to police or to child protection agencies.
Instead, he revoked Waddington's right to conduct services but no further action was taken amid concerns over Waddington's health.
Judge Sally Cahill said Lord Hope's actions meant "opportunities were missed" to start an investigation which may have led to a prosecution before Waddington's death in 2007.
Lord Hope said last week that he deeply regretted not having been more proactive in helping victims come forward.

Any act of abuse committed by someone in a position of authority in the Church is a matter for shame and requires deep repentance. We are called as individuals and corporately to a higher standard and to show God's love and care as revealed in Jesus Christ. Those who trusted us in this only to be grievously wounded deserve not only our wholehearted apology but also the assurance we will keep a watchful eagle's eye and act swiftly.
Those I have spoken to have expressed clearly that it is important for them to know whether new policies and procedures adopted after 2004 have created a new culture in the Church of England as a whole, which will ensure that all God's children are protected. Those concerns are reflected in the report's recommendations.
I commissioned an independent judge-led inquiry on 13th July 2013. The Judge was asked to investigate how the Church responded to the allegations made in 1999 and 2003/04 that Robert Waddington, a former Dean of Manchester Cathedral, had abused a child in the 1960s when he was headmaster of a school in the Diocese of North Queensland, Australia and also a Manchester choirboy in the 1980s when he was the Dean of Manchester.
In its conclusions the Inquiry has identified systemic failures in the Church's failing to implement or follow its own procedures and guidelines on the reporting of incidents...

But currently, the Roma are among the continent's most underserved communities. And like Europe's Jews, and newcomers from Africa and the Middle East, they're finding themselves caught up in a resurgence of racism and xenophobia.
The unemployment rate for Roma in Bulgaria was 59% in 2010, and 50% in Romania according to a seminal World Bank report, while average unemployment in Bulgaria was 11.6%, and 7.3% in Romania in 2013.

It requires a delicate judgment about many different risks and costs -- the risk of extra U.S. cases in the short run, the risk of discouraging health workers from traveling to West Africa so that the disease keeps spreading there, the cost in civil liberty of restricting people's movements, and so on. I agree with the doctors about where the balance lies, but the issue isn't easy and, in any event, it isn't just about the science of Ebola.
The doctors conclude, "We should be honoring, not quarantining, health care workers who put their lives at risk..." We should indeed be honoring them -- and, unless I'm mistaken, we are -- but that comment isn't science; it's pure politics. Forgive me for stating what should be obvious, but if the facts about the transmission of Ebola were different, one could imagine that mandatory quarantine would be justified; and if it were, the policy would imply no disrespect to the health professionals involved.

"It can't be the solution because it only adds to the casualties and destruction to the region," said Nassar, who spoke at a gathering Oct. 28 at St. John's (Stone) Church. "The only solution is to dry out external resources that it relies on and all the veins that are feeding it."
Military response merely provides a distraction, he said, a "show that they are doing something" —while the situation worsens daily as more than a million dollars a day is pumped into the operations of the Islamic State (known as ISIS or ISIL), a radical group of insurgents in Iraq and Syria and an offshoot of the Islamist militant organization al-Qaeda.
The alternative, said Nassar, is to pinpoint the source of its funding rather than to raise arms.

Francis said the beginning of the world was not "a work of chaos" but created from a principle of love. He said sometimes competing beliefs in creation and evolution could co-exist.Got that? Pope Francis, according to RNS, said, "God is not a divine being..."
""God is not a divine being or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life," the pope said. "Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve."
The context makes it obvious that the pope is not intending by any stretch of the imagination to deny God is a "divine being." He is, rather, denying that God is a demiurge, i.e. lower-case "builder-god" who merely fashions creatures out of primordial stuff and then leaves them to their own devices. For RNS to not only put the words "God is not a divine being" in the pope's mouth but also refuse to correct its mistranslation would therefore be simply irresponsible.
But that is exactly what RNS did – for forty-eight hours, even as Mohler and others questioned its translation.

There can be little doubt that traditional Christians often communicate to gays that they must somehow stop experiencing same sex attraction in order to make themselves acceptable to God. This is not the gospel. There is nothing than we can do to make ourselves acceptable to God. What the Bible asks of us is, however, to recognize that sexual relationships with people of the same sex violates God's intention for human sexuality. The Christian tradition directs us in one of two equally valid directions: celibacy or heterosexual marriage.
Reasonable people ought to respect Gushee's right to change his mind and to do so publicly. However, it's important to note that Gushee's capitulation is not the only possible response to the precipitous change in cultural attitudes toward sexuality.

The Archbishop of York, Dr Sentamu, said last week that he had "every sympathy" with the view, expressed by a survivor who reported abuse to the Cahill Inquiry..., that disclosures that gave rise to safeguarding concerns should not be treated as confidential.
Dr Sentamu told The Times: "If somebody tells you a child has been abused, the confession doesn't seem to me a cloak for hiding that business. How can you really hear a confession about somebody abusing a child and the matter must be sealed up and you mustn't talk about it?
"When a child reports abuse, you have an obligation - a duty - to take the matter to the police. If the person who has done it comes and tells you 'I've abused someone, but I'm in a confessional now,' it needs teasing out. I have listened to those who have been abused, and what I've heard leads me to ask a question: 'Are we really serious about what Jesus said about children or not?'"

Philipp Melanchthon explains the Lutheran position well: "Let the highest authority be that of the Word which was divinely taught," he explains. "Thereafter that church which agrees with that Word is to be considered authoritative." And again: "Let us hear the church when it teaches and admonishes," he writes, "but one must not believe because of the authority of the church. For the church does not lay down articles of faith; it only teaches and admonishes. We must believe on account of the Word of God when, admonished by the church, we understand that this meaning is truly and without sophistry taught in the Word of God."
Christianity Today's report suggests that some Protestants have forgotten this right relationship between Scripture and Tradition. We are right to trust in Scripture alone; but it is foolhardy to read Scripture by ourselves.

Seminary education has been moored atop two primary pillars: higher education and the churches and denominational structures of the community of faith. Both moorings are experiencing their own "significant change."
"Higher education is dealing with a lot of pressure," says Aleshire. "Cultural questions are being asked what they weren't asked 25 years ago: 'Is it worth the money? Does it make the contribution needed in American and Canadian cultural society?'"
Fundamental changes blazing through North American religion, and a wilting assumption that affordable access to theological education is assured, leaves seminaries taking blows from two sides.

As Trimble talked about Convergence, I imagined her standing in that long pattern of creation which reverberates through our ancient texts. God spoke into the chaos, and the words formed order as they gathered waters, brought forth vegetation, gave rise to animals, and molded humanity. The birth of Jesus Christ, the answer to longing prayers, is described as the Word made flesh.
We see creation in these grand narratives, and we also watch it unfold in our everyday lives. A 13-month-old toddler has not begun to speak, so she stands before the refrigerator, with her arm out and her tiny fist grabbing at air, and grunts. The guttural noises let her parents know that she wants. Eventually her "meh, meh, meh" will become "milk." When her parents deliver the magical liquid, longing becomes word, and word becomes object.

That's unfortunate, because one reason — though, to be sure, not the only reason — that the American economic landscape looks bleaker today is that American families are not as strong and stable as they could be. Indeed, in a new report released this week from the American Enterprise Institute and the Institute for Family Studies, we find that about one-third of recent increases in family-income inequality and male joblessness, and a significant share of median family-income stagnation, can be linked to the declining share of Americans who are getting and staying married....

The campaign focuses on the work of the Anglican Church in Zambia to support women who face violence – but is part of a wider concern of Us to address domestic violence worldwide. According to the UN, up to 70 per cent of women worldwide experience violence at some point in their lifetime.
Churches and church-goers were invited by Us to order and wear friendship bracelets as a reminder to pray for women. In addition, Us invited people to write messages of support for women in Zambia – with hundreds responding. The messages will be distributed among women in Zambia.

The crisis we're facing is that many people outside and inside the church don't understand what it's supposed to be about. It has become encrusted with so many cultural, historical, political, economic forms. As these get thicker and thicker, they distance us from the core affirmation of living as disciples of Jesus. If you look at the New Testament and ask "What is the church?" I think the primary answer is: people living their lives as an act of worship and response to Jesus Christ and seeking to live as daily disciples in community and for the sake of their world. The crisis is that Christians inside the church don't seem to view this way of life as necessary. This leaves outsiders puzzled about the purpose of the church, because so little of it seems related to Jesus.
And what's the promise?
The most illuminating moment of the "promise," in cultural terms, is the shock of Pope Francis. The Catholic Church has been embroiled in scandal for many years. It has been seen as bureaucratic and unresponsive. Then, all of a sudden, there appears this authentic, living disciple. Here is someone who seems to live out of this deep spirit of humility—a Jesus follower who wants a life rooted in simple action.

Not the most welcoming way of putting it. "Excuse me?" my friend responded. "In other words, singles, suck it up. Won't be returning there."
Most of the responses were supportive, as you'd expect from friends, but several dismissed her concerns or told her, in various ways, to suck it up and stop whining. Other single friends, including widows and single mothers who were single because their loutish husbands left them for Miss Suzy Cupcake, have told me they don't talk about their struggles because the chances of being dismissed or patronized or even condemned are too high.

Experts broadly agree that a widespread outbreak across the country is extremely unlikely, but they also concur that it is impossible to predict with certainty, since previous Ebola epidemics have been confined to remote areas of Africa. And Ebola is not the only possible danger that causes concern; experts say other deadly infectious diseases - ranging from airborne viruses such as SARS, to an unforeseen new strain of the flu, to more exotic plagues like Lassa fever - could crash the health care system.

The situation at General is deeply troubling, and it should be for anyone concerned about the academic study of religion. Seminaries are a crucial part of the overall academic mix in the field. I am not privy to the details of what happened at General, and I have little data to assess how it came to this unfortunate climax. I do know that a cast-off seminary professor is no hot commodity in today's market. And watching the market performance, I'm afraid this commodity is one that is set to be on the increase. The second truism has already settled in: did something happen at some seminary in some large city? Why should we care?
In Post-Christian America it is an stupendous irony that those working for the destruction of church institutions are often those on the inside, and not the dreaded secularists from without.

Although people celebrate Halloween in different ways it remains, at its core, an event that glorifies the dark, creepy and scary side of life.
Children and adults dress up as figures that are 'evil': witches, vampires, ghosts and demons.
If you want to be different you can hire costumes to make you look like a chainsaw killer, a psychopathic butcher or even a shooting victim ('with authentic-looking bullet holes').This is hardly harmless.
Whatever view we have about life, we all take it for granted that our society should spend time and energy encouraging children to care for others and to know the difference between right and wrong.
Yet on this one day, we throw all those values away and glorify everything that is evil and unpleasant. Talk about sending out mixed messages!

Though true, the preceding paragraph is almost comically misleading. Because from that description you would surely never guess that our protagonist is a manically expressive 20-something named Evan (Evan Koons, who cowrote the script). Evan lives in a house filled with retro bric-a-brac, furnished circa 1940, and undisturbed by any technology invented since 1983. He is given to playing the ukulele, declaiming poetry, drinking lemonade from Mason jars—and to breaking the fourth wall, freezing the frame, and scrambling narrative sequence, using every trick of the postmodern visual storyteller.
When we meet him, Evan is in the throes of a quarter-life crisis. He's sure that if faith means anything, it must have implications for everything, but finds little guidance from the church toward a viable calling in a pluralistic world. Evan begins the series, and ends every episode, handwriting a letter to his fellow Christians: "Dear Everybody." The question that Evan finds most worrying is, "What is our salvation for?"

In this instance, as in so much else, Asimov took the Mule from the pages of Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall, and specifically the account of the Prophet Muhammad (570-632). And although Asimov was explicitly writing fantastic fiction, his account often echoes older historical writing on the rise of Islam. We read of the great Roman and Persian empires that dominated much of the known world, until very suddenly, a charismatic leader who believes he is instructed by God gathers faithful followers around himself. Ultimately, these supremely motivated legions pour out of Arabia into the civilized world, conquering most of it within a century or so. In this prophet-centered version, Muhammad is quite as radical a newcomer to the known universe as is the Mule, and his career is equally at right angles to conventional historical reality. He comes from nowhere, and the incredible rapidity of the rise of Islam seems near-miraculous.
Fortunately, the rise of Islamic empires can be explained without invoking either supernatural powers or genetic mutation, and Robert Hoyland's In God's Path offers a very convincing attempt. Hoyland's subtitle deserves careful reflection, with the distinction he draws between Arab and Islamic forces.

But in the months since the Ebola virus crisis has dominated news reports, Brothers' Brother has received, on average, one $25 check per day for Ebola relief efforts.
"It's just not [generating] the same volume compared to other international disasters," said Karen Dempsey, vice president of development and administration for the nonprofit, which last week loaded a 40-foot container headed to Sierra Leone in West Africa with face masks, protective gowns, gloves and medical supplies donated by hospitals.
While the earthquake in Haiti, Hurricane Sandy, the Indian Ocean tsunami and other tragedies raised millions of dollars for victims within days after they occurred and inspired celebrities to organize benefit concerts broadcast during prime time, nonprofits that provide assistance for the Ebola outbreak relief say the public has been slow to step up and donate.

A survey released today by LifeWay Research for Ligonier Ministries "reveals a significant level of theological confusion," said Stephen Nichols, Ligonier's chief academic officer. Many evangelicals do not have orthodox views about either God or humans, especially on questions of salvation and the Holy Spirit, he said.
Evangelicals did score high on several points. Nearly all believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead (96%), and that salvation is found through Jesus alone (92%). Strong majorities said that God is sovereign over all people (89%) and that the Bible is the Word of God (88%).

At first thought, the idea of more connected devices suggests simply that there will be more devices around, and as such, more products for manufacturers to make and sell. That's true, bu...

When in 1948 Pierre Schaeffer gave the name Concrète to the music which he invented, he wanted to demonstrate that this new music started from the concrete sound material, from heard sound, and then sought to abstract musical values from it. This is the opposite of classical music, which starts from an abstract conception and notation leading to a concrete performance. Schaeffer wanted to react against the "excess of abstraction" of the period but he did not shy away from "reconquering" this musical abstract. A reconquering which for him had necessarily to go through a return to the concrete. (Source - Michel Chion (1983). Guide des Objets Sonores. Eds. Buchet/Chastel, Paris. 1995 translation by John Dack/Christine North.)

20 Children's Books About Differences
Back to School 2013
Back to School meant a big talk about differences in my home. Last year my red-headed 6-year-old who had been mocked for the color of his hair suddenly took revenge and made fun of a child who is particularly short. Besides having a talk about it, I thought we needed some reinforcement from books which, for him, helps the principles of our family values sink in.
We've been able to purchase some, borrow some from the library and then there are several we'd love to have. We'd like our kids to understand tolerance and difference, that we're all the same despite our different skin colors, cultural background, different family types, heights, weights, skills, etc.
1. Same, but little diff'rentby Kylie Dunstan.
2. The Sandwich Swap by Queen Rania of Jordan.
3. A Walk in the Rain with a Brain by Edward Hallowell.
4. The Terrible Suitcase by Emma Allen.
5. The Children of the King by Sonya Hartnett.
6. The Family Book by Todd Parr.
7. Mommy mama and me by Leslea Newman.
8. Pablo's Tree by Pat Mora.
9. Sometimes it's Grandmas and Grandpas by Gayl Byrne.
10. Same, Same but Different by Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw.
11. Herb the vegetarian dragon by Jules Bass.
12. Being Wendy by Fran Drescher.
13. Little Sweet Potato by Amy Bloom.
14. Inside outby Frederick Alimonti.
15. The Boy Who Grew Flowers by Jen Wojtowicz.
16. The Color of Us by Karen Katz.
17. We're different we're the same by Bobbi Jane Kates.
18. Whoever You Are by Mem Fox.
19. Amazing Grace by Mary Hoffman.
20. Shades of People by Shelley Rotner.

These books seem absolutely adorable! Now I want children just to have a reason to buy them!
These books are fabulous! I think I need them all! My husband and I are in the process of adopting 3 African American babies (we are Caucasian). This is an observation our three year old is starting to make, so it's nice to have some books that can better bridge their confusion! Not to mention, perhaps help me find the right words to explain to their very curious friends ;)
More open-ended, but I would add to this list The Big Orange Splot by D. Manus Pinkwater.
Not Your Typical Dragon by Dan Bar-el is a wonderful book about being different.
I would also add "My Princess Boy"
The Hundred Dresses, perhaps?
For parents who have questions about discussing difference, I highly recommend reading Nurture Shock, by Po Bronson and Ashley Merriman--there's a wonderful essay about why white parents are reluctant to talk about race with their children and the negative consequences that arise when they fail to do so. The rest of the book addresses other fascinating topics (adolescent surliness, sleep, self-control), but this particular one has given me a lot of food for thought on the topic of discussing difference with my children.
Good call! Thanks for the tip :)
All of these comments are helpful, thanks so much for adding to this post! And yes, Nurture Shock is definitely a must-read for parents, an eye opener on many subjects!
Thanks you guys :)))

BRP SUB Mount Adapter 03-13 Husaberg All w/OEM Triple Clamp
Price: $79.95
Product Details
The BRP SUB "Scotts Under Bar" Mount Adapter is our entry level SUB Mount and comes with necessary mounting hardware.
Designed to mount a Scotts stabilizer below the handlebar using your OEM cast or billet triple clamp. The SUB adapter mounts to 2 of your existing bar mount holes and allows you to run the 2 most popular bar positions; pos. 3 & pos. 4. SUB Mounting a stabilizer offers several benefits over a conventional "above bar" setup and is becoming a very popular setup for GP's, motocross, off road, dual sport applications and riders of taller stature.
We recommend using a Clean Speed Cable Guide (Sold Separately) to ensure proper cable routing. (Select Cable Guide in drop down menu)
BRP is an authorized Scotts Stabilizer Dealer and Service center with an extensive knowledge of stabilizer mounting applications. We have a complete line of stabilizer mounting applications and replacement parts. When it comes to service we offer complete service on all Scotts stabilizers.SPECIAL NOTES:
Be sure to select the proper year, model and triple clamp in order to get the correct part for your order. When running a stabilizer in the sub mount configuration, the stabilizer link arm will need to be reverse mounted "going under the body of the unit".

Sure, other teams may challenge them - but in the end, the Sharks will send 'em home empty-handed. Celebrate your team's dominance on the ice with the Pinnacle hat from Old Time Hockey. This adjustable hat features embroidered "San Jose Sharks" lettering, a team logo and the establishment date on the crown.
