This bi-national webinar will offer a unique opportunity for participants from across the world to engage with leading Christian, Muslim, and Jewish thinkers on this theological question. Panelists will engage one another and the audience in a dialogue on the implications of the answer to that question for people of faith in both the US and Iran.
Ayatollah Seyed Mostafa Mohaghegh Damad
Ayatollah Damad is the author of 27 published books and more than 50 academic journal articles on Islamic philosophy, law, theology, and ethics. He is a leading contributor at global academic conferences and interfaith dialogue summits.
Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb Lynn Gottlieb
Rabbi Gottlieb was one of the first women to become a rabbi in Jewish history. She is a pioneer Jewish feminist, peace activist, writer, visual artist, ceremonialist, community educator and organizer, and master storyteller. She has led two delegations to Iran.
The Right Reverend John Bryson Chane
Bishop Chane is the retired Episcopal Bishop of Washington, DC, and a leader in interreligious dialogue and Track 2 Diplomacy. He has traveled to Iran on seven occasions and spent time with multiple Iranian Presidents. He is also one of the few from the West to meet with Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
This webinar is sponsored by LUKE 10, a group of Catholic, Protestant, Historic Peace Church, and Evangelical religious leaders who affirm our historic theological commitment to love God and neighbor even amidst pandemics and political complexity. The organizational name, LUKE 10, is a reference to the Biblical story of the Good Samaritan. In that parable, Jesus makes clear that a neighbor is a person who, despite personal risk, reaches out across the religious and ethnic divide to help a person in need.
Luke 10 was formed to appeal to American Christians to show compassion to our Muslim neighbors during this time of the pandemic, beginning with Iranians. LUKE 10 works with Moms Against Poverty (MAP), a California based tax-exempt organization that is licensed to support COVID-19 relief in Iran through an Iranian civil society partner organization. LUKE 10 is committed to not only providing medical assistance to the most vulnerable of our Iranian neighbors but also to building understanding between our peoples and our faith traditions.

Next month Jews and Christians alike will celebrate Passover, the holiday that recognizes and remembers the Lord’s deliverance of Israel from Egypt. In 2017, Passover begins on Monday, April 10th at sundown and continues until sundown on Tuesday, April 18th. It is a time of great celebration, for Jesus died on the cross during the Passover week in Israel, becoming the sacrificial lamb that takes away the sin of the world. It is a special time for children, as they learn the story of the Exodus and participate in the seder, the traditional ceremony of the holiday. Here’s how to celebrate a Messianic Passover with your Christian family.
Seder means “order,” because the celebration of Passover is done in a particular order. It is a time both of solemnity and joy, of reflection and celebration. We remember that God is our deliverer, not only of the Jews when they were in captivity in Egypt, but also our deliverer from slavery to sin. If you’ve never keep Passover as a Christian, there’s no better time to start than now!
Here are some links that will take you to several Haggadah sites (the “telling”), where you can see and adapt them to your own family’s Messianic Passover needs. At our home, we celebrate Passover with a traditional seder, changing a few things to more closely reflect the reality of what Jesus accomplished in fulfilling this important feast. For instance, we do not serve lamb, as the lamb was the sacrificial animal. Since Jesus was the last sacrifice, we do not participate in another sacrificial lamb. The traditional seder plate contains a shank bone from a lamb. We substitute a small wooden cross to commemorate Jesus’ sacrifice. Nor do we recline to eat the meal, but this is because we have a bar-height table that does not allow for that particular position. We do eat part of the seder meal standing. We also do not set a place for Elijah, as Jesus said (in speaking of John the Baptist), “But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him whatever they wished.” Mark 9:13. However, we leave the front door open for the foreigner and stranger to join us (you can invite them in).
Here are some more resources to help you build a new tradition of Passover for your Christian family.

I have recently revisited the Gambia with the New Life Gambia Charity.
I first visited in March 2016 and was excited to be able to return again. This trip we spent time visiting two schools one at Kanifing and the other at Half Dye. These schools provide nursery, primary , junior and secondary education for 1600 students. There are 64 full time staff – teachers, admin, nurses, outreach workers, maintenance and domestic staff. Just 64 for all those children!
My visits have been incredible eye openers for me. Everyone welcomed us with so much love and friendliness. Despite the poverty and poor living conditions, their smiles and generosity melted my heart.
During my time there, with some other volunteers, I spent time playing and fellowshiping with the children. We did singing, crafts, colouring, games and sports (skipping, egg and spoon races, balloons and bubbles were their favourites! … no electronic games, phones or ipods here!)
A couple of evenings a week and on a Sunday morning, they hold a Christian programme and service at the Kanifing School. These meetings were a blessing in every way. It was amazing to hear such testimonies and words of encouragement, the worship was wonderful. To see such young Gambian children singing, dancing and praising the Lord was a special experience.
I spent a lot of time last year with a lovely girl, Marianna who was then 12 years old. I was able again this year to meet up with her. After a meeting she came to me and said she had been attending the Christian programme for a while but she wasn’t a Christian. I asked if she would like to become one and she replied enthusiastically that she “really would like to become one!” We found a quiet spot and we prayed and she asked Jesus to come into her life, and to remain with her always. What a wonderful moment to be able to share in her new birth in Christ. We went and told the Minister and several of her friends what she had done and it was lovely to see such celebrations.
I pray that Marianna will grow in God’s love with the support and encouragement of the New Life Team. I hope I will have the privilege of meeting up with her on my next visit. It was a special ending to an amazing week.
Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28 v 19


The normal state of any human being under God's submission is to be blessed, and He desires to bless those who trust in His provision. We often want signs and blessings evident in our life to move, but faith is to move without any proof. The moment we start following God, without chasing it.
During the difficult seasons in life, God is busy forming and shaping our character, and we need to go through our struggles to become who God destined us to be. There are no loopholes in life. We would often pray for miracles to help us get through challenging times, but we should have faith in God that everything we go through qualifies us for what is to come.
By the power of the cross, God has already set us free from our old life, but even though we are free, we will still experience hardships and challenging times. God is in every season of our life, and He alone will guide us to get up and out of our circumstances
As Christians, the friendships we build and form should be determined by our relationship with God. Jesus was known and befriended by everyone, but He only journeyed with the twelve disciples. We, as believers, need to build our life intentionality in the pursuit of the Kingdom of God and build relationships with those who will support us and give us guidance in life.


Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.
-- Acts 4:12
Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
-- 1 Timothy 4:12
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
-- Philippians 2:3
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
-- Philippians 4:13
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.
-- Psalm 37:5

Welcome to the enlightening world of faith and baptism! When it comes to adult baptisms, there is a profound symbol that accompanies this sacred ritual – the adult baptism robe. These elegant garments hold significant meaning and serve as a visual representation of a transformative spiritual journey.
Stepping into the holy waters of baptism as an adult is a deeply personal and empowering decision. The adult baptism robe, with its flowing fabric and pristine whiteness, acts as a tangible expression of this momentous occasion. Just as it is often said that clothes make the person, these robes beautifully encapsulate the transformation that occurs during this spiritual rebirth.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, adult baptism robes carry a deeper significance. They represent purity, symbolizing the cleansing of one’s sins and the beginning of a new chapter filled with faith and devotion. These robes also foster a sense of unity within the community, as each individual dons the same garment, symbolizing their equal commitment to their spiritual path.
As we delve deeper into the exploration of adult baptism robes, we will uncover their rich history, explore their varying designs, and understand how they can serve as a powerful reminder of one’s faith journey. Join us as we dive into the timeless symbolism and unwavering importance of adult baptism robes.
###A Symbolic Garment: Meaning and Importance of Adult Baptism Robes
The adult baptism robe holds deep symbolic meaning and serves as a significant garment during the sacred ceremony of adult baptism. As adults choose to devote themselves to a life of faith, the baptism robes play an essential role in the expression of this commitment.
Adorned in the adult baptismal robe, the person being baptized symbolizes their cleansing and rebirth through the act of immersion in water. The robe serves as a visible representation of leaving behind the old self and embracing a new spiritual journey. It reminds both the individual and the witnessing community of the transformative power of faith.
Beyond its symbolic significance, adult baptism robes also hold practical importance. They serve as a unifying factor, creating a sense of equality among the participants. Regardless of social status or personal background, everyone is clothed in the same humble robe, emphasizing the shared experience of baptism and promoting community spirit.
Moreover, adult baptism robes help to create a sense of reverence and solemnity during the ceremony. As the person enters the baptismal waters, the flowing garment adds an aura of sacredness and magnifies the meaningfulness of the moment. It becomes a physical representation of the individual’s commitment to their faith and their readiness to embark on a new spiritual chapter.
In conclusion, adult baptism robes hold a dual significance – they serve as a powerful symbol of spiritual rebirth and unity among believers, while also creating an atmosphere of reverence and significance during the adult baptism ceremony. Through the wearing of these robes, individuals publicly declare their commitment and readiness to embrace their faith, marking the beginning of a lifelong journey.
Exploring the History and Tradition of Adult Baptismal Robes
In the rich tapestry of religious ceremonies, adult baptism robes hold a special place of significance. These elegant garments have a long and storied history, steeped in tradition and symbolism.
Dating back centuries, the use of adult baptism robes was prevalent in various religious communities. These robes, often made of pure white fabric, symbolize purity, and the rebirth of the individual undergoing baptism. As adults made the conscious decision to be baptized, the robes were seen as a visible representation of their commitment to their faith.
Different religious denominations adopted their own unique styles and designs for adult baptismal robes. From flowing robes with wide sleeves to more form-fitting garments, each tradition had its own interpretation. Despite these variations, the purpose remained the same – to mark a sacred moment and celebrate the spiritual journey of the individual.
The significance of adult baptism robes extends beyond the purely visual. When a person puts on an adult baptism robe, they are entering into a shared experience with countless others who have come before them. This act connects them to the long-standing traditions and beliefs of their religious community, creating a sense of unity and continuity.
In conclusion, adult baptism robes hold deep historical and traditional meaning within religious ceremonies. As they continue to be worn by individuals entering into the sacred act of baptism, these robes serve as a powerful symbol of faith, purity, and connection to a shared spiritual journey.
Choosing the Right Baptism Robes for Adults: Considerations and Styles
When it comes to selecting the perfect adult baptism robe, there are a few essential factors to consider. These considerations will help ensure that the robe chosen reflects the significance and sanctity of the baptismal ceremony. Here are some key points to keep in mind while deciding on the ideal adult baptism robe:
Material: The choice of material for the baptism robe is crucial as it contributes to both the appearance and comfort of the wearer. Opt for high-quality fabrics such as satin, cotton, or linen, which offer a refined and elegant look. Additionally, consider the climate and season in which the baptism will take place. Lighter fabrics are suitable for warm weather, while heavier materials provide warmth during colder seasons.
Style: Adult baptism robes come in various styles, each carrying its own symbolic significance. The most common styles include full-length robes with long sleeves and a flowing design. Some robes may have intricate detailing or embellishments, such as crosses or embroidery, to add a touch of personalization. Ensure the chosen style aligns with the individual’s personal beliefs and the overall tone of the baptismal ceremony.
Baptism Robes For Adults
Size and Fit: It is essential to select a baptism robe that fits well and complements the individual’s body shape. The robe should be loose-fitting, allowing comfortable movement and ease during the baptismal ritual. It is recommended to accurately measure the individual’s height and chest size to determine the appropriate size according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Remember, the adult baptism robe serves as a visual representation of a person’s commitment to their faith. By considering the material, style, and fit, you can choose a robe that not only exudes reverence but also makes the wearer feel confident and connected to their spiritual journey.


It’s our Christmas tradition every year. Here is our Christmas entry written by my husband.
Why the silly Christmas photos from our family? Short answer: because we want to. And we can. And the fact is, the rest of our lives are pretty normal and in some ways, boring. So we do it to amuse ourselves–and you.
But silly cards and snowmen and Santa and elves are not what Christmas is about. Neither is it about giving or “Holiday Spirit” or even family. It’s a mis-dated reminder of the greatest invasion our planet has ever had: a newborn in a barn. It was the personal landing of the creator among the created. The idea was simple, but the effect profound. Long ago there had been a rebellion, a seemingly simple disobedience (forbidden fruit) that opened the floodgates of hell. And we have been in enemy territory ever since. But this… this baby, the one who *chose* to come, did come. The plan was radical: this baby would become the ransom for those in enemy territory. A prisoner exchange, if you will. Everyone who would believe… this baby now man would trade his life for theirs. Him for you. His death, your life. Talk about gift giving.
But the story has gotten snowed in under mountains of catalogs, cookies, and tons of crap we don’t need. Meanwhile, the real story, the REAL gift is often forgotten. For those of you familiar with the story and what it means, I encourage you to dust if off. For friends (or strangers) who look at this with skeptical eye and wonder if this whole “Jesus” thing isn’t as much pretend as Frosty the Snowman, I’d ask this: How’s the future looking without a God who cares enough to sacrifice Himself for you? One who came personally to make the downpayment and left only after a promise to come again and wrap it up — forever.
Me? I look at the news — pick a day, any day — and I don’t see this planet getting better on its own. Pick your tragedy: school shootings, famine and starvation, environmental destruction, poverty, civil war, hurricanes, human trafficking, tsunamis, drought. Whatever. We are not heading into utopia. We are not doing a great job left to our own devices. Millions suspect something very bad is going to go down sooner than later, and I agree. But through that, on the other end of that, and until then… I have hope. I have confidence in how it turns out. I have peace, and it’s all because of that baby in a manger.
If you’re like me and you suspect we did not get here on our own, nor are we going to pull out of this nosedive on our own, and you’d like that peace, that confidence and hope… it’s real. It’s in the Bible. And before you call it hokey and fable, look at the headlines of any news outlet anywhere and tell me how we’re doing without it. Want to know more about this Jesus? The Bible is the place to start. Get a modern translation and google “bible reading plan” and start. Additionally, here are three books I’ve found that I recommend: “Beautiful Outlaw” by John Eldredge. “What’s so Amazing About Grace?” by Philip Yancey. And “Messiah” by Jerry D. Thomas. And though I don’t have all the answers, I’m willing to listen to questions. Contact me through http://www.stenbakken.com
From our family to you… we wish you better than a merely merry Christmas.


Todd Starnes of Fox News online has consistently reported on the state of American faith in our culture. This time, he reveals that the Army has listed one of the most outspoken, yet well-respected, Christian ministries as a hate group. During a briefing at Camp Shelby in Mississippi, U.S. Army active duty and reserve troops were informed that the American Family Association would be listed alongside such domestic hate groups as the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis, Black Panthers, and the Nation of Islam.
Whether it was deliberate or not, the instructor tried to link the AFA with controversial Westboro Baptist Church preacher Fred Phelps, citing that both groups hate gays. Nothing could be further from the truth in the case of the AFA. The American Family Association has been on the front lines of the American culture war since 1977, and has long been considered one of the largest and most effective pro-family organizations in the country. "Pro-family" means they support traditional family values, and the concept of Biblical marriage. "Pro-family" means they believe in the preservation of traditional marriage; i.e. one man-one woman.
Let me share their action statement: The American Family Association acts to:
(1) restrain evil by exposing the works of darkness;
(2) promote virtue by upholding in culture that which is right, true and good according to Scripture;
(3) convince individuals of sin and challenge them to seek Christ’s grace and forgiveness;
(4) motivate people to take a stand on cultural and moral issues at the local, state and national levels; and
(5) encourage Christians to bear witness to the love of Jesus Christ as they live their lives before the world.
Does this sound like HATE? I will admit that they believe in standing up and being vocal about defending Godly principles. But they have never promoted hostile or violent action towards those they disagree with. And that is what the difference of opinion is .... a disagreement! Therefore this stance by the U.S. Army has many concerned that Christians and their beliefs are under blatant attack in the military.
This particular instructor warned that association with such groups as AFA and the Family Research Council could result in punishment. That left one soldier worried that by listening to American Family Radio all day, could he be faced with a Uniformed Code of Military Justice charge? While the official brass assured Mr. Starnes that this was an isolated incident, you might recall the Army briefings a few months back that classified evangelical Christians and Catholics as examples of religious extremism. Apparently Christians and evangelical organizations aren't "consistent with Army Values". So what does that mean?
Perhaps you will recall the words of our Commander-in-Chief after Muslim extremists attacked our diplomatic outpost in Libya last year: "Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others." Let's see .... I guess the AFA doesn't deserve the same deference and respect as those who want to harm us, right?
But I guess that it should come as no surprise that Christian organizations are being falsely accused when you consider that military installations, as well as law enforcement agencies, are using a list compiled by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC has long been suspected of being left-leaning and has been criticized by conservatives for "smearing religious and far-right groups and ignoring far-left hate groups." They certainly wear their ideological biases on their sleeve.
So once again, Todd Starnes has exposed this seemingly anti-Christian intolerance within our military. But why? What is the end game? Could it be, as Mr. Starnes presupposes, that there is an effort to separate the military from the American people? By pointedly planting seeds of doubt about Christians and some of our nation’s most prominent Christian ministries, it is my hope that the military's smear campaign will only serve to embolden Christians within the ranks. The time is coming when a person's membership in the kingdom of God will triumph over all other associations. Hallelujah!
Matthew 5:11 "Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account."


Joseph’s Catholic Church
Of Lino Lakes Organized in 1891
St. Joseph’s Catholic Church of Lino Lakes was incorporated as a parish in 1891. The first church, a wooden structure was blown down during a tornado in the early 1890’s.
The present brick structure which has stood as a landmark since 1896 was built when Father Joseph Goiffon was pastor and served as a mission church of Centerville. When father Goiffon retired father Bonenfus replaced him, serving until 1901. Father Vanden Bosch served from 1901-1903 and was followed by Father Oulsnell, 1903-1904.
Father Marcel Masl came in 1904 and served until 1918. Succeeding him and up until 1939 were father Schaeffer. In 1939 St. Joseph’s became a parish of its own – before then all records were kept at Centerville.
Father Francis Hamming was the first pastor, serving until his death in 1945 when Father James Cecka was appointed.
Father Cecka was assigned to St. Matthew’s in 1961, Father Ed Grzeskowiak serving as temporary administrator until Father Donald Schnitzius was appointed in October of that year.
In June of 1963 a new structure containing a church seating 700, a social hall, parish library and catechetical instruction space was completed. The old church, originally built to accommodate 130 persons, was still used for daily mass and requested weddings and funerals for those who cherish its traditions.
Building continues to meet the needs of a growing congregation and in September 1964 a new school was completed for pupils in first through sixth grades, with four sisters of St. Joseph and two lay teachers.
Known since 1891 as the “Rice Lake” church, St. Joseph’s is located four blocks west of Highway 8 on County Road 12 (202) (Elm Street) and serves East Blaine, Lexington, Circle Pines and Lino Lakes.
Pastor of St. Joseph’s is Father John Wirth who came in June, 1968, and in Aug., Father Arnold Luger joined the church staff as In-Residence Associate. Religious Coordinator is Sister Clarine Paulzine, CSJ, and Parish Worker is Sister Ann Gits, CSJ.
The parish cemetery was expanded in 1966; a new church bell tower was erected in 1973 and new Stations of the Cross were added to the church in 1973. The number of registered families has increased from 500 to 850. Substantial reduction in parish building indebtedness has been made since 1965.
Interdenominational services for the needy and for Senior Citizens are being carried on. In addition to Alcoholics Anonymous and Emotions Anonymous programs which are now functioning within the parish.


THE NEW NORMAL
As we move into this new ‘normal’ it would be easy to fall prey to worry and fear of what the future holds. Yet we are not given spirits of fear but rather spirits of power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7
And so, it is with deep gratitude that we share this update with you of how your prayers and love and continued financial support are allowing us to focus on the health of the children and care takers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID-19 IMPACT ON CASA HOGAR ELIM
The government has begun putting precautions in place, such as closing the schools for the foreseeable future and possibly closing the border. Having all the children home every day is putting a significant strain on the food supply for Casa Hogar Elim. Lunches were served at school and that now falls back on the orphanage to supply an extra meal for 60+ children each day.
Because Casa Hogar Elim is a private Christian orphanage, they do not receive funds from the government and are dependent on donations for their daily needs.
HOW WE ARE RESPONDING
Because of your generosity and care for these children, we are able to respond to this need in the following ways.
-Our daily healthy snacks program will be expanded to include Saturday and Sunday and will continue as long as food is available
-We are purchasing bulk beans, rice and pasta to help provide for lunch
-We are providing multivitamins and extra vitamin C
-We continue to focus on the garden as it can provide fresh vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, jalapenos and zucchini) though this is still 4-6 weeks away from producing results
-we are also reaching out to teachers to schedule online classes so that the children continue to progress in math and reading during the school closures.
YOU FUEL OUR EFFORTS
Not only do your donations provide for the work we do with the children, they also allow us to be the hands and feet on the ground here to do this work. As missionaries, we are literally dependent on your support for our own daily needs. We live as frugally as possible yet there are still basic needs such as food, electricity, and insurance that must be covered for us to be here. We are grateful for your support and will continue to be discerning and prayerful about all expenditures.
YOU ARE LIFTED UP HIGH!
Our greatest strength comes from our time spent in prayer. The children of Casa Hogar Elim continue to lift you up to God in prayers for your health and safety and we echo those prayers each day.
If we can pray for you in specific ways, please let us know. It would be our privilege. If you have additional questions or suggestions, we welcome them!
May God bless you and give you many opportunities to show His Love and Mercy and Grace to those around you!


Copious Irrefutable Scientific Proof The Quran Is 100% Divine!.pdf
We have irrefutable proof that the many authors/prophets of the Bible were indeed for real because God encoded their words with mathematical miracles unthinkable by humans even today. Now we have the same to a whole other degree for the Quran! The hundreds of highly advanced scientific proofs contained in the above linked book are not debunkable. The Quran is definitely what it says it is, the final testament from God almighty to humanity. Download both it and the most excellent English translation of the Quran itself below for the spiritual journey of your life!!!
This English translation of the Quran by Laleh Bahktair is in our opinion the best in the world. It was done without bias on a word for word basis like the King James version of the Bible. David then went on to do a few important edits and add some mind boggling scientific miracles and other notations which should prove to be extremely effective at conveying the authenticity of this Holy Quran to anyone. Enjoy!
This very eye opening plethora of reliable prophecies will be new to Christians, most have quite clearly already came true. What remain are all about the coming of a new era on earth which this proves to the reader while showing how it’s all going to go down.
This Bible is also sometimes called merely the Douay Bible or abbreviated as the D-R Bible, it is the oldest full Roman Catholic Bible translation in English.
The Bhagavad Gita is an ancient Indian text that became an important work of Hindu tradition in terms of both literature and philosophy. The earliest translations of this work from Sanskrit into English were made around 1795 CE by Sir Charles Wilkins. The name Bhagavad Gita means “the song of the Lord”.
The Gospel of the Holy Twelve.pdf
The Gospel of the Holy Twelve, also known as the Gospel of the Nazarenes, is believed to be the Gospel described by many commentators of the early Church as the original teachings of the Nazarene called Christ. It is thought to have been written by Yeshuas’ brother “James the just” and was the inspiration behind the later, fraudulent writings of Gospels Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. This is evidenced in that it contains several sections in which are found, word-for-word stories from the King James Version of the Bible.
The Jew World Order Is Upon Us.pdf
A very eye opening document brimming with facts and truths about the fake Judahites who call themselves jews exactly as they’ve done for millennia.
Now for the first time in over 2000 years this highly secretive and utterly damning 11,000 page long text is available for immediated download by anyone! This racist book of “jew-ish” psychopathy has been hidden from Humanity for millennia by fake Judahites (satanic jews) because it clearly shows how hateful and bigotted they are to real Israelites and other non-jews. This is what Yeshua (aka Jesus) exposed in his day, it is why the jews hated and tried to kill him.

When we partner with faith-based organizations, we are able to provide more homes for deserving families. Congregations benefit from the opportunity to put their faith into action.
This partnership allows faith-based organizations the chance to join together and fully fund and build a home for a local family.
As a faith-based partner, you are charged with assisting in Habitat's mission to provide decent shelter for God's children. This is an amazing opportunity for your congregation to participate in a local mission.
The process for a faith-based build is similar to a corporate build in regards to construction and cost, but can be tailored to meet the needs of each individual partnership.


The question of the name of the New Province came naturally and early in the process.
As basis criteria for the choice of name it was defined that:
should be suggested by the members of the organization itself to be formalized by the General Government.
could not be a name that represents the whole Congregation.
Thus, a list of proposals gathered at the meeting of Local Superiors appeared in April 2017 in Seville.
These were the names:
- Corazón de María/ Coração de Maria /Heart of Mary
- Betania/ Betânia /Bethany
- San Miguel/ São Miguel / Saint Michael
- Santa María/Santa Maria/ Holy Mary


New Rome: Vivacious Vestments
I knew I should have written a post on Byzantine vestments when thinking up this series.
1. Why do Orthodox priests have beards?
As one can see from any icon of Christ, our Lord had a beard. Since the priest dispenses sacramental grace, he is an icon of Christ and should physically resemble our Lord by being bearded and having the same hairstyle (long and parted down the middle).
2. Why does the Ecumenical Patriarch carry that cool staff?
The staff the Patriarch carries is a crosier, and usage is akin to its Western counterpart. It is the symbol of the governing office of a bishop.
It comprises of two serpents/dragons curled around a small cross, remembering the bronze serpents Moses made in Numbers 21:9-9.
There is another form of the crosier, carried mostly by Russian bishops. It is tau-shaped with drooping arms and surmounted by a small cross.
3. Is the hat similar in usage/symbolism to the papal tiara?
The headgear in question is a mitre. Just as in the West, it signifies the temporal authority of bishops. Its shape is based on the closed imperial crown of the late Byzantine Empire. The design of the papal tiara is said to have been derived from the Byzantine mitre. As to whether they share similar symbolism, the answer would be no.
The papal tiara symbolises the papacy and the triple crowns represent the threefold authority of the pope. The Orthodox East, however, does not have an equivalent office.
The mitre is almost always worn only by bishops, but is also awarded to archpriests, protopresbyters and archimandrites at the discretion of the local synod. Unlike the episcopal mitre, the priestly mitre is not surmounted by a cross.
4. What's the big cape?
It is the mantle, the distinctive garment worn by monastics at various services, including vespers. It is not worn when serving the Divine Liturgy.
Monks wear the plain black mantle; the mantle of a hegumen (abbot) or an archimandrite may have crosses on the front. In the Slavic tradition (I am not familiar with the Greek), the different ranks of bishops use different colours - red for bishops, purple for archbishops, blue for metropolitans and green for patriarchs. Bishops generally don the mantle when formally entering a church or when he is attending a service he is not serving.
The episcopal mantle is characteristically decorated with red and white ribbons (called 'streams', symbolizing the word going out into the entire world) and four rectangular embroidered appliqués, two at the neck and two at the feet (called 'tablets', symbolizing the Gospel which must be the focus of a bishop's teachings).
5. How do you tell the different ranks of clergy when not in liturgical vestment?
Yes, it is very difficult to distinguish bishops from priests since almost every Orthodox cleric (nuns included) dress in black. The easiest way to tell a clergyman's rank would be to look for the engolpion (εγκόλπιον - lit. "on the chest") worn around the neck. Generally speaking, it is anything worn upon the bosom, but in recent times, it refers to the medallion with an icon in its centre, worn by bishops.
Often called a panagia, because all bishops wear a particular kind of engolpion which depicts the All-Holy Virgin Mary. Primates (i.e. archbishops) and certain bishops are bestowed the dignity of a second engolpion, which usually depicts our Lord.
Priests are usually recognised by the pectoral cross. This is not often the case, however - in Greek tradition, the pectoral cross is awarded only to archpriests; in the Russian, however, a silver cross is given upon ordination. Gold or decorated (i.e. jewelled) crosses are usually worn by higher ranking priests. A priest may sometimes be awarded with a second pectoral cross, which he may wear along with the first.
Left to right: Ihumenia Makrina, Metropolitan Laurus & Bishop Agapit
Bishops are entitled to wear the pectoral cross, but most simply wear a panagia when not vested. Patriarchs wear all 3 - both engolpion of Christ and His Mother & a pectoral cross - when vested and occasionally when not. The hegumen (abbot) and hegumeni (abbess) of monasteries are also entitled to wear the pectoral cross.
Men dressed in cassocks, but lacking pectoral cross, are usually either seminarians, monks, deacons or Greek priests.


God certainly calls the unprepared and then performs the work inside you to guide and direct. As the years passed, I received my call to the ministry. A call I refused to accept, but God moves in ways we can never fully understand.
For many years I simply attended homegoing services; I peered in while others ministered to the emotional and spiritual needs of the parishioners. I was never asked to do anything, and I never requested. As the years went by, I was asked to read scripture or offer a prayer which was sufficient for me.
At the right season, when God determined I was ready...

When I was 7 or 8, I saw my first Christmas story at Holly public school near Barrie Ontario. While Christ's birth was an interesting story in itself, it was the carols that seem to bring the play to life. It's as if we were all there in Bethlehem 2000 years ago.
All Good Christmas music, right up to "The Christmas Shoes" seems to evoke a real emotional event. Indeed, it seems that memory can be stimulated by compelling lyrics and melodies. What do you think?
The Christmas Shoes


Every community is unique. Below you will find answers to many of the frequently asked questions about our services, activities, membership, and ways to get involved.
Questions about our worship
Where are the instruments?
When you walk in, you might be struck by the lack of musical instruments in our service. While the majority of our members are comfortable with the use of musical instruments in worship, we have chosen to honor the unique tradition of our church of Christ heritage by practicing a-cappella (voice only) worship in our assemblies. A-cappella worship is a unique experience that the church of Christ heritage brings to the broader Christian world, and we are proud to continue this tradition.
Many of our members participate in our praise team that leads our congregational singing each Sunday. Feel free to join us in singing praise to God. Though, if you would rather just listen, that’s okay too.
Can women lead?
While still uncommon in many churches of Christ, we encourage the participation of women in our public gatherings and in our leadership. We believe that all, regardless of gender, can participate and lead us in praising God.
Lord’s Supper / Communion?
Following the practice of the early church, we share the Lord’s Supper every Sunday. We partake of bread and grape juice, which are for God’s people the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. We invite all who confess faith in Christ to partake with us.
As we share of the one bread, we become one body, the church. We partake of the Lord’s Supper in remembrance and celebration of the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord until he comes again.
Get Plugged In
Who are we?

The 1947-1957 Healing Revival
This was the most powerful and fruitful move of God in history. Despite extreme criticism and controversy Pentecostalism was re-vitalised, new evangelistic initiatives circled the globe and the multi-facetted charismatic movement was brought to birth.
Today the world-wide Pentecostal/charismatic community numbers over 550 million members and is the fastest growing branch of the Christian church across the nations.We pay tribute to the pioneers who paid such a great price to return the church to its New Testament foundations and showed all who had eyes to see Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever!
Who were these men?
Who were these men? What credentials did they have? How did they experience such a meteoric rise to international fame and success in preaching the Gospel and healing the sick? Where did they get such power from?
There were around 70 full-time healing evangelists traversing America and invading foreign shores with their message of hope and deliverance from 1947 to the 7o's and beyond.
Materials are hard to find but here you will find histories and biographies of these champions of the faith taken from authentic source materials originally describing events as they happened.
What did they believe and teach to produce such results?
The healing evangelists subscribed to a specific set of Christian teachings which emphasised the truth of God's Word - the Bible, the salvation or conversion by repentance and faith and other orthodox evangelical doctrines.
But their unique contribution was far more Pentecostal stressing the Baptism in the Holy Spirit for all those who were believers, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, divine healing, the power of prayer and fasting. Some proclaimed the restoration of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers according to Ephesians 4 and all subscribed to the ability to impart supernatural power through the laying on of hands - and much more.
What lessons can we learn from their successes and failures?
There is always much to learn from pioneers of the faith who broke through all barriers to see and experience a true move of God - how they prayed, their interior life before God, the methodology they employed and so on.
But, as in the Scriptures, there are warnings as well as examples. Israel's failures teach us valuable lessons as much as their victories. The same is true of the healing evangelists. We have to learn to 'test everything, hold on to the good.' 1 Thess 5:21

Rev. Lowery Inauguration benediction. Transcript.

Transcript courtesy Federal News Service
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, thou who has brought us thus far along the way, thou who has by thy might led us into the light, keep us forever in the path, we pray, lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee, lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee. Shadowed beneath thy hand may we forever stand -- true to thee, O God, and true to our native land.
We truly give thanks for the glorious experience we've shared this day. We pray now, O Lord, for your blessing upon thy servant, Barack Obama, the 44th president of these United States, his family and his administration. He has come to this high office at a low moment in the national and, indeed, the global fiscal climate. But because we know you got the whole world in your hand, we pray for not only our nation, but for the community of nations. Our faith does not shrink, though pressed by the flood of mortal ills.
For we know that, Lord, you're able and you're willing to work through faithful leadership to restore stability, mend our brokenness, heal our wounds and deliver us from the exploitation of the poor or the least of these and from favoritism toward the rich, the elite of these.
We thank you for the empowering of thy servant, our 44th president, to inspire our nation to believe that, yes, we can work together to achieve a more perfect union. And while we have sown the seeds of greed -- the wind of greed and corruption, and even as we reap the whirlwind of social and economic disruption, we seek forgiveness and we come in a spirit of unity and solidarity to commit our support to our president by our willingness to make sacrifices, to respect your creation, to turn to each other and not on each other.
And now, Lord, in the complex arena of human relations, help us to make choices on the side of love, not hate; on the side of inclusion, not exclusion; tolerance, not intolerance.
And as we leave this mountaintop, help us to hold on to the spirit of fellowship and the oneness of our family. Let us take that power back to our homes, our workplaces, our churches, our temples, our mosques, or wherever we seek your will.
Bless President Barack, First Lady Michelle. Look over our little, angelic Sasha and Malia.
We go now to walk together, children, pledging that we won't get weary in the difficult days ahead. We know you will not leave us alone, with your hands of power and your heart of love.
Help us then, now, Lord, to work for that day when nation shall not lift up sword against nation, when tanks will be beaten into tractors, when every man and every woman shall sit under his or her own vine and fig tree, and none shall be afraid; when justice will roll down like waters and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around -- (laughter) -- when yellow will be mellow -- (laughter) -- when the red man can get ahead, man -- (laughter) -- and when white will embrace what is right.
Let all those who do justice and love mercy say amen.
REV. LOWERY: Say amen --
REV. LOWERY: -- and amen.
AUDIENCE: Amen! (Cheers, applause.)

-"The red man can get ahead, man".
This one line kind of summed up the entire feeling of hope that this day had. It's obvious that the landscape of our culture has changed in a big way today, and the fact that Reverend Lowery mentioned in his benediction those of us that still continue to be oppressed in this country filled me with even
more hope than I had at the beginning of the ceremony. Thank-you Rev. Lowery. Thank-you for making what could have been a very solemn situation into a solemn, yet funky time.

On February 21, 2018, evangelist Billy Graham was laid to rest at his library in North Carolina. Donald Trump was not in attendance at the funeral, though he did send a letter to be read at the service.
No, Donald Trump did not attend Billy Graham’s funeral.
Was President Trump at Billy Graham’s funeral?
Billy Graham was one of the most influential religious figures of the 20th century. He was a preacher, author, and televangelist who reached millions of people with his message of faith and salvation. He was also a close friend and confidant of many world leaders, including US presidents. Trump and Pence both spoke at his funeral, which was held under a large tent reminiscent of the ones Graham used to preach in early in his career.
Many other notable figures were in attendance at the late evangelist’s funeral, including President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. Also in attendance were several former presidents, including Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. Other notable figures included Billy Graham’s son, Franklin Graham, and Rev. Billy Graham’s grandson, William Graham.
What presidents did Billy Graham support
Graham and Nixon remained close friends throughout Nixon’s presidency, with Graham even offering public support during the Watergate scandal. After Nixon’s resignation, Graham continued to defend him, stating that Nixon had “paid the price” for his actions and that “history will record that he opened more doors for evangelism than any other president”.
Franklin Graham, son of the late evangelist Billy Graham, gave the main funeral message at his father’s funeral. He spoke of his father’s character, saying that he was the same man in public as he was in private. Graham said that his father was a man of integrity and that the world saw that in him.
Which president had the biggest funeral?
The most impressive funeral ever witnessed was the funeral of President Garfield. The White House was draped in black mourning adornments after President Garfield’s death. The funeral was held in the East Room of the White House and was attended by over two thousand people. The casket was placed on a catafalque in the center of the room and was covered with a American flag. The funeral was conducted by Reverend Dr. E. H. Stansbury, chaplain of the United States Senate. He was assisted by Reverend Dr. Henry Ward Beecher. The eulogy was delivered by Reverend Dr. George Duffield.
It is important to accept the fact that we will all die one day. We should make arrangements for our death and make provision for those we are leaving behind. We should also make an appointment with God to ensure that we are prepared for the afterlife.
Has a President been cremated?
Nelson Rockefeller was the only president or vice president who was cremated. The rest have been buried. Gerald Ford was the only president who was cremated.
According to a recent Pew Research Center study, mainline Protestants are the largest religious group in the United States, accounting for nearly one-third of the population. Episcopalians and Presbyterians are the most prevalent mainline Protestant denominations.
Although Catholics make up the largest single religious group in the United States, John F Kennedy was the first Catholic president. Joe Biden, the current president, is the second. There have been at least four nontrinitarian presidents.
Which President caught a cold at his inauguration and died of pneumonia
William Henry Harrison’s short tenure as President was marked by tragedy. He caught a cold that developed into pneumonia and died just one month into his term. His death ushered in a new era for the Whig party, which had been hoping to advance its agenda under Harrison’s leadership. His wife, Anna Tuthill Symmes Harrison, was a strong and supportive partner throughout his political career. Following his death, she remained active in Washington, D.C. society and continued to advocate for her husband’s legacy.
Billy Graham and President Lyndon B Johnson share a laugh while meeting in the Oval Office on September 13, 1968. It’s great to see two powerful men enjoying each other’s company and sharing a laugh. This photo reminds us that even the busiest people can find time to relax and enjoy life.
Which president had a pet billy goat?
President Benjamin Harrison (1889-93) gave his grandchildren a pet goat named His Whiskers. One day, while pulling the president’s grandchildren around in a cart, His Whiskers took off through the White House gates. President Harrison chased him in hot pursuit.

What was Billy Graham’s net worth when he passed
Billy Graham was a world-renowned Evangelical Christian who passed away in 2018. At the time of his death, his net worth was an estimated $25 million. Most of his wealth came from his career as a preacher and author. He also had significant investments in various businesses.
Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ is one of the most important things a Christian can do. Billy Graham was one of the most famous and effective preachers of the Gospel in the 20th century. He preached to millions of people all over the world, and his message was simple: Jesus loves you and died for your sins. If you repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus, you will be saved. Graham’s message was effective in leading many people to faith in Christ.
What was Billy Graham’s favorite verse?
Billy Graham was a famous evangelist and he chose one of his favorite verses from the Bible to be placed on his grave marker. The verse, John 14:6, reads, “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life No one comes to the Father except through Me ‘” Billy Graham believed that Jesus was the only way to know God and he wanted this message to be remembered after his death.
It is believed that Taylor’s death was caused by gastroenteritis, which he contracted from the contaminated water and fruit. His death came as a shock to the nation, as he was only in office for 16 months.
No, Donald Trump did not attend Billy Graham’s funeral.
Billy Graham was a renowned evangelist and one of the most influential religious figures of the 20th century. Trump did not attend his funeral, but he did release a statement in which he praised Graham’s “tremendous courage, conviction, and humility.”

F.L.O.W. - For The Life Of the World: Answering the question: What is our salvation for? (Led by Josh Lewis)
As the church in the world, we are not home yet. We are called to good endeavors in the world, wherever we live. We may want to create our own little Jerusalem's, waiting out our exile in comfort and security, but Jesus calls us to be salt and light in a world wrestling with decay and darkness. Salt and light permeate and have an impact on whatever they touch. They transform by their very presence. In the same way, we are called to engage our cultural surroundings and have a faithful presence in our communities. This means we are called to be present and accessible in every sphere of culture, whether it be work, art, education, government, or our church. It all comes down to being ready to share the hope we have in Christ, and being ready to love with Christ's love by the power of the Holy Spirit - everywhere, everyday, every moment, in everything we do.


The Holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation.
Those who have been raised to the dignity of the royal priesthood by Baptism and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation participate with the whole community in the Lord's own sacrifice by means of the Eucharist. (CCC 1322)
"At the Last Supper, on the night Jesus was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of His body and blood. This He did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he could come again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of this death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us." (CCC 1323)
HOLY EUCHARIST FOR CHILDREN SECOND THRU EIGHTH GRADE
1. In order to receive the Holy Eucharist, a child must first be baptized in the Catholic faith. If a child has been baptized in another Christian denomination and now wants to become a Catholic, the child will make a profession of faith sometime prior to First Holy Communion and be received into the Catholic church.
2. In most cases, children receive First Holy Communion in May of their 2nd grade year, after having completed two years of catechetical preparation either in our Catholic School program or in our Religious Education program.
3. Preparation is available for older children in both the School and Religious Education programs.
4. If a child or young person of catechetical age has never been baptized, then that person will be enrolled in the RCIC (Rite of Christian Initiation for Children) and receive all three sacraments of initiation - Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist after two years of sacramental preparation. This usually takes place at sundown of the Easter Vigil, the evening before Easter Sunday.
5. Catholic children in the second grade in our Catholic school are prepared for First Holy Communion as part of their regular religious instruction. Children in public school should enroll for classes in early August by talking to the Director of Religious Education, Marian Rose Swetish.
6. As part of their children's preparation, parents are required to attend parent preparation sessions approximately once a month during the second year of preparation.
HOLY EUCHARIST FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEENS
If a high school student has not made their First Holy Communion, the Director of Youth Ministry (Eric Becker) will meet with the young person to assess their religious background and preparation needs. He will work with them individually or as a group to help prepare the young person for the sacrament. Click here to view the Youth Ministry page.
HOLY EUCHARIST FOR ADULTS
Holy Eucharist for adults is done through the RCIA program. Click here to visit the RCIA page.
