POPSEpiscopals Continue to Strain the Anglican Communion over Gay Folk And we thank them. Unitarian Universalists have long been fully supportive of GLBT folk (in committed relationships or not) being fully engaged in the life of the denomination at all levels. It is good to see other denominations come to the realization that gay people are, gasp, people.

POPStutu talks international peace & reconciliation
The name Desmond Tutu resonates strongly with people all around the world. He is internationally respected as a "moral voice" to end poverty and human rights abuses. In 1996, he was appointed by President Nelson Mandela to chair the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, a body set-up to probe gross human rights violations during apartheid. Tutu spoke in London on Thursday to mark the 75th anniversary of the British Council. "I never imagined in my worst dreams that I would live to see the day when the United States would abrogate the rule of law and habeas corpus as has happened in the case of those described as "enemy combatants" incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay. Or that I would hear an American government and its apologists use exactly the same justification for detention without trial, as had been used by the apartheid government of South Africa - a practice that the United States at the time condemned roundly, as was so utterly right to have done."

POPSBBC Refues to Run Gaza Aid Appeal Ad The idea, due to the pressure and advocacy of millions, is slowly seeping through that the people in Gaza are being starved to death by the Israeli blockade. Being starved to death when this was called a "truce," during the last 18 months. Being starved to death when this policy remains in force in what is called now a "cease fire."

POPSChurch removes "horrifying" crucifix Oh, and did I mention that they pretend to drink that prophet's blood in Church on Sundays (in this case it's definitely pretend, even to them, as St John's is Anglican)? Now that's really something to scare the kids with.
