Agencies plan emergency pension help for central conference clergy
For the retired Mozambican minister and his
wife, the "golden years" had nothing to do with
gold and everything to do with trying to survive
on a $120 annual pension.
During a 2003 trip to Mozambique, a United
Methodist team found that the couple exemplified
the need for pension programs not only in Africa
but other parts of the world.

After Hurricane, Signpost Symbolizes Long Connection for Port Charlotte Resident
Bill's manufactured home is splintered across the
grid of roadways and cul-de-sacs of his
neighborhood. Number 777 is one of the 26,000
Florida residences totaled on August 13 in
Hurricane Charley's 195 mph winds. Palm trees
that once proudly lined the streets lie across
the roadways, stripped of their canopied tops and
wrapped by pieces of aluminum siding, roofing and
broken telephone lines.

UMW Action Alert: Medicare
On December 8, 2003 President George W. Bush
signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement and Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003.
This law is the largest expansion of the Medicare
program since it was created in 1965. The most
significant change this law has created is the
addition of an optional prescription drug
benefit, also known as "Part D," which will begin
in 2006.

There Is Always a Way: No Team for This Individual Volunteer in Mission
Sandra Entenman has served as an individual
volunteer in Armenia and Bosnia-Herzegovina for
the United Methodist Committee on Relief. Her
first assignment was to teach English in Armenia
during four months in 2000. "These children are
excited, intelligent, and from educated families.
I fell in love with these children and couldn't
wait to see them each day," she said.

Volunteers Give Back at UMCOR Sager Brown
More than 2,700 volunteers go to UMCOR Sager
Brown each year to process disaster relief
supplies, distribute boxes of food to seniors and
assist the surrounding community in Baldwin,
Louisiana. But some volunteers, like Evelyn
Lewis, have a special connection to the center.
Lewis, who has lived near Bayou Teche in Baldwin
for seven decades, remembers Sager Brown as a
haven from the racial prejudices of the South.

Pension covers 'hardly anything,' retired Mozambican pastor says
Retired United Methodist pastor João Tene Ngale
never saw a self-sustaining pensions system in
his home country of Mozambique.
He died just weeks after meeting with a fact-
finding group studying the feasibility of
standardizing pension support for United
Methodist clergy and other church workers
outside the United States.

United Methodist officials explore funding Mozambique pension fund
"When someone loses a goat, he starts looking
for it, even on top of the trees," says an
African proverb.
"We've lost our goat," said United Methodist
Bishop João Somane Machado, likening the missing
animal to the dire economic situation of
Mozambique, where unemployment is estimated
between 50 percent and 85 percent. "Where can we
find it?"

Privatization --Women's Division Resolution to General Conference
Corporate interests are rushing to privatize
many
of the resources of the earth -- water, energy,
education, natural plants, human and animal
genes, cultures and public services such as
social security, health care and public
safety.
Everything from prescription drugs to prisons to
welfare programs is considered fair game for
corporate profit-making.
