POPSRick Warren Denounces the Uganda Anti-Gay Bill Third, it would have a chilling affect on your ministry to the hurting. As you know, in Africa, it is the churches that are bearing the primary burden of providing care for people infected with HIV/AIDS. If this bill passed, homosexuals who are HIV positive will be reluctant to seek or receive care, comfort and compassion from our churches out of fear of being reported. You and I know that the churches of Uganda are the truly caring communities where people receive hope and help, not condemnation. Fourth, ALL life, no matter how humble or broken, whether unborn or dying, is precious to God. My wife Kay and I have devoted our lives and our ministry to saving the lives of people, including homosexuals, who are HIV positive. It would be inconsistent to save some lives and wish death on others. We're not just pro-life. We are whole life.

POPSIntellectual Pea Soup Ah yes. The Dark Ages. How swell were those times! Exorcism worked quite well then I suppose. Naturally, that was before we realized there was something called mental illness. At least some realized it.

POPSReligious leaders file suit: Prop. 8 is "grave threat to religious freedom" Today, the California Council of Churches and other religious leaders and faith organizations representing millions of members filed a petition with the California Supreme Court asking the Court to invalidate Proposition 8. The petition argues that Proposition 8 poses a severe threat to the guarantee of equal protection for all and was not enacted through the constitutionally required process for such a dramatic change to the California Constitution. The petition is filed on behalf of the California Council of Churches, the General Synod of the United Church of Christ, two Episcopal Bishops (of California and Los Angeles), the Progressive Jewish Alliance, the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations and the Unitarian Universalist Legislative Ministry of California, and the Northern and Southern California Nevada Conferences of the United Church of Christ.

POPSPresbyterians General Assembly Pushing gay agenda Guidelines for Leaders in the Church 1 This is a statement that can be trusted: If anyone sets his heart on being a bishop, he desires something excellent. 2 A bishop must have a good reputation. He must have only one wife, be sober, use good judgment, be respectable, be hospitable, and be able to teach. 3 He must not drink excessively or be a violent person, but he must be gentle. He must not be quarrelsome or love money. 4 He must manage his own family well. His children should respectfully obey him. 5 (If a man doesn't know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?) 6 He must not be a new Christian, or he might become arrogant like the devil and be condemned. 7 People who are not Christians must speak well of him, or he might become the victim of disgraceful insults that the devil sets as traps for him. 1 Tim 3:1-7 (GW)

POPSWealthy nations - no barrier to water to water crisis In Australia annual rainfall has been declining with a sudden drop of 15% in the 1970's. The sub-Artesian basin that once supported the infamous pastoral and farming industry is no longer recharged. Every capital city is over consuming - dam levels in Brisbane the lowest at a meager 17% and falling while the population is soaring. Until recently the climate change and the water crisis were viewed as two separate issues with no collaboration between the State governments. After weeks of negotiating they seem no closer at striking a deal and it seems Victoria is not prepared to hand control of the state's water to the Commonwealth. While the majority of Australian citizens are either ignorant or in denial, and do not seem to realise or care about the seriousness of the issue. With $30 billion dollars needed to be spent on water infrastructure it is at long last about to hit us all in the hip pocket.
