arrow icon. When Celebrating Jesus Is Not Easy 

Public celebration of Christmas--public testament of faith in Jesus Christ--is not always easy, or even safe. As we move into a new year, my prayer list includes persons and situations in which Christian brothers and sisters lost their lives in recent days because of their faith, or where a public official was killed for trying to protect religious rights of Christians.

“Prepare the way of the Lord...”                          Matthew 3:3b

With these words, John began a short career proclaiming the long-awaited Messiah was coming. His message was not new -- just delivered in a new way. People of his day recognized it as the words of the Prophet Isaiah: “Prepare the way of the Lord.”

arrow icon. Middle East Christians need contact with other Christians, Day says 
Members of the Church World Service delegation visit with Christian leaders in Damascus, Syria. Christians in the Middle East need to connect with their Western counterparts, according to a United Methodist official who recently traveled to the region. In countries like Lebanon and Syria, the population of Christians - although still significant - has declined, the Rev. R. Randy Day, chief executive, United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries pointed out. The big concern, he added, is "how to continue to witness and function as minorities."

At the end of 2002, over 2.1 million people sat in prisons and jails in the United States, the highest prison population in the history of this country’s corrections system.

The number of prisons in the United States has dramatically increased over the past 3 decades, with corrections facilities being built in record numbers in communities across the country. Billions of dollars in taxpayer money have paid for this prison boom.
