WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Concerned Women for America (CWA) urged the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to intervene on behalf of four Philadelphia Christian men who were arraigned today on "hate crime" felony charges stemming from a peaceful protest at a homosexual street event on Oct. 10, 2004. The District Attorney's office went berserk, saddling them with criminal charges including trying to incite a riot, even though the protesters were peaceful," said Robert Knight, director of CWA's Culture & Family Institute. "Their crime was to cite Bible verses, which a prosecutor called 'hateful,' and to urge homosexuals, like other sinners, to repent. It's frightening to see religious persecution on American soil, especially in the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence. ...
JERUSALEM - Prominent Israeli rabbis are for the first time speaking out against Israel's profitable alliance with evangelical Christians in the United States who have funneled tens of millions of dollars to the Jewish state. The rabbis fear the Christians' real intent is to convert Jews, their aides said Monday. Others are concerned about the evangelicals' support for Israel's extreme right-wing, opposing any compromise with the Palestinians.
When we started up 'Let's Tend the Garden,' we didn't think it was any big deal," [Jessie Milo] said. "We aren't doing this to become any kind of power, we're doing it because we've neglected our responsibility to care for God's creation. We need to earn Christ's respect back using our hands to minister to the earth. We're trying to right a wrong. Locally, Boise First Congregational United Church of Christ has a long history of teaching environmentalism. Steve Scanlin, who is moderator-elect of the UCC's northwest region, says his heart "leaped for joy" when he read about the Vineyard's "Let's Tend the Garden" program. "We welcome them to the environmental ministry and hope to work together soon," he said. In a vivid illustration of how faith and environmental action can go together, ...

NEW YORK, March 30 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Christians for Fair Witness on the Middle East ("Fair Witness") is expressing deep concern about a report authored by two prominent American professors; Stephen Walt, the academic dean at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and John Mearsheimer from the University of Chicago. This report, which appears on the website of the Kennedy Center alleges that the security of the United States is currently being "jeopardized" by "inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion" caused by "unwavering U.S. support for Israel. It is troubling to see yet another instance of obsession with Israel as the ultimate source of all the world's ills," said Sr. Ruth Lautt, O.P., Esq., National Director of Fair Witness. "This (all too familiar) one sided blame casting aimed at ...

NEW YORK, Jan. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Christians for Fair Witness on the Middle East is concerned about the demolition of the Shepherd's Hotel to build residential units for Jewish families in an Arab neighborhood in East Jerusalem and once again urges both parties to return to the negotiating table to work out the parameters of a just two-state solution. According to Rev. Dr. Peter A. Pettit of Muhlenberg College, "Cool heads need to prevail. The regrettable action of a notoriously provocative private land owner cannot be allowed to erode further the official relations of Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
It says in the Declaration of Independence the basic principles upon which the United States of America was founded--that we are all endowed by our Creator with certain "inalienable" rights, and that among these rights are "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." An "inalienable" right is one that cannot be taken away or transferred, according to Webster's New World Dictionary. How is it then, that conservative evangelical Christians can say, as spokesperson Janice Crouse of Concerned Women for America said, that "you look to the government for justice" and then not protest cuts in government funding for anti-poverty programs? Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council acknowledged that there is a biblical mandate to take care of the poor but that the Bible "does not say governmen...
In Brian D. McLaren's perfect world, evangelical Christians will one day be concerned about more than saving people's souls and "the big two" issues of abortion and homosexuality. Instead, he says, they will start making a difference in the nitty-gritty crises of the world that are clamoring for attention but evangelical Christians all too often have met with silence.
