Black in America

From Christian -

CNN has a special called “Black in America” which deals with what does it mean to be black in America today. I think it’s important for people of all races to watch it and to talk about it. It’s a two day special that runs on this Wednesday, July 23 at 6PM PST and Thursday, July 24 at 6PM PST. For more info, here’s the link on CNN’s website:

Gambian president plans to kill off homosexuals

Gambian President Yahya Jammeh says he will “cut off the head” of any homosexual caught in his country.

Addressing supporters at the end of his meet the farmers tour here Sunday,

Jammeh also ordered any hotel or motel housing homosexuals to close down, adding that owners of such facilities would also be in trouble.

He said the Gambia was a country of believers, indicating that no sinful and immoral act as homosexual would be tolerated in the country.

He warned all homosexuals in the country to leave, noting that a legislation “stricter than those in Iran ” concerning the vice would be introduced soon.

President Jammeh said he was bent on making the Gambia one of the best countries to live in, adding that his government had spent over US$ 100 million towards the development of the country since 1994.

He said, however, that almost 98 per cent of the amount had gone to foreigners. Panapress .

To The Streets

Hey all,

My new church, Quest, puts on a monthly outreach event where they distribute donated goods to the homeless in Ballard. The next distribution day is this Saturday. So.. I was wondering if a few (3-4?) of you might want to tag along. We’ll be hanging out in the sun (it’s supposed to be in the 80’s this weekend!) and living out justice/compassion at the same time… could it get any sweeter? Anyways, I was thinking we’ll meet at Terry Loop around 11:30am and drive over to Quest. You should be back before 3. Please RSVP so I can work out transportation.
