A leading Catholic bishop in the Netherlands has called for an independent investigation into the sexual abuse of children by priests after 200 alleged victims contacted help services last week.

http://www.whnt.com/news/nationworld...,1553795.story

On Valentine's Day, Philippine government health workers hit the streets of Manila to hand out roses and condoms to passers-by.

The message was clear in a country with a relatively small but rapidly growing HIV-positive population: Avoid unprotected sex.

It didn't get far. Within days, leaders of the powerful Roman Catholic Church began urging the faithful to reject condoms, reigniting a long-running battle over contraception in the overwhelmingly Catholic nation .

Bishops issued angry statements slamming the Valentine's Day distribution as immoral and called for the resignation of Health Secretary Esperanza Cabral, who ordered the campaign. One archbishop said that Cabral already "has one foot in hell."... ]]> International Christian news feeds 張國棟 http://s-h-c.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17680 http://s-h-c.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17679&goto=newpost Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:56:42 GMT No charges in priest's beating

The Supreme Court has decided to rule on a case deciding whether the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church is protected under the First Amendment when they protest at military funerals.

Westboro pastor Fred Phelps leads other members in funeral protests to suggest that military deaths are punishment for the country's tolerance of homosexuality.

The Associated Press reports that justices will hear an appeal from the father of a Marine killed in Iraq, after they picketed outside his son's funeral in Maryland.

Recently Glenn Beck made some comments about leaving a church if the priest or pastor speaks about “social justice.” He instructed his listeners to “look for the words ’social justice’ or ‘economic justice’ on your church Web site” and then, should they find those words, told them to “run as fast as you can.” Why? Well Beck believes those are “code words” that have malevolent ties to communism and Nazism.... ]]> International Christian news feeds 張國棟 http://s-h-c.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17671 http://s-h-c.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17670&goto=newpost Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:49:48 GMT WACC - International Women's Day Statement and Call to Action

http://www.elca.org/Who-We-Are/Our-T...es.aspx?a=4472

The Conference of Bishops of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) reached a consensus March 8 on a draft proposal for a rite that would bring onto the church's official clergy roster those pastors who were ordained and are on the clergy roster of "Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries (ELM)." ELM "expands ministry opportunities for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities in the Lutheran church," according to its Web site.
The ELCA Conference of Bishops is an advisory body of the church, consisting of the ELCA's 65 synod bishops plus the presiding bishop and ELCA secretary. It met here March 4-9.
The draft proposal, "Reception onto the Roster of Ordained Ministers," recognizes and affirms the ministry of ELM pastors. It is not the rite of ordination, though it uses patterns and texts adapted from the authorized ELCA rite, including the laying on of hands and prayer by synod bishops. It is intended for use with "individuals who have experienced an ordination that this church has not yet recognized," according to the draft.... ]]> International Christian news feeds 張國棟 http://s-h-c.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17669 http://s-h-c.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17668&goto=newpost Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:48:30 GMT WARC - Theologians draft manifesto for church unity and justice

Theologians draft manifesto for church unity and justice

An international panel of pastors and theologians is drafting a
"manifesto" on church unity and social justice for a new global
organization of Reformed churches. The text is to be presented in June
to the Uniting General Council (UGC) of the World Communion of
Reformed Churches (WCRC) in Grand Rapids, United States.

At the conclusion yesterday of a four-day consultation in Cartigny,
Switzerland, the group representing churches in eight world regions
approved a text calling for a clear commitment to church unity as the
basis for joint action on economic and ecological justice concerns.

"What we are preparing is in effect a theological manifesto," says
Ofelia Ortega of the Presbyterian Reformed Church in Cuba who chaired
the consultation. "Our intent is for UGC delegates to discuss and
accept the theological foundations for joint church action in this new
communion.This 'manifesto' will be a key element to those discussions."

The UGC will mark the merger of the World Alliance of Reformed
Churches (WARC) and the Reformed Ecumenical Council (REC), two
branches of the Reformed church family which have traditionally
represented differing theological perspectives on the role of churches
in society.

"It is clear that in order for churches to work together, they must
understand and respect each other's theology," says Douwe Visser
of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC) which organised the
consultation.... ]]> International Christian news feeds 張國棟 http://s-h-c.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17668 http://s-h-c.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17667&goto=newpost Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:47:56 GMT Al-Qaida calls on US Muslims to attack America

Al-Qaida's American-born spokesman on Sunday called on Muslims serving in the U.S. armed forces to emulate the Army major charged with killing 13 people in Fort Hood.

In a 25-minute video posted on militant Web sites, Adam Gadahn described Maj. Nidal Hasan as a pioneer who should serve as a role model for other Muslims, especially those serving Western militaries.
