random thought of the moment:

I challenge any skeptic to find a ten square mile spot on this planet where they can live their lives in peace and safety and decency, where womanhood is honored, where infancy and old age are revered, where they can educate their children, where the Gospel of Jesus Christ has not gone first to prepare the way. If they find such a place, then I would encourage them to emigrate thither and there proclaim their unbelief. — James Russell Lowell

A Concrete Way to Help in Iraq

October 14th, 2007 by Jerry

Aside from prayer—which I ~~perhaps~~ should do more often—I have felt great sadness and helplessness when hearing of the plight of Iraqi Christians.

Fortunately, CNEWA has a way for us to help more directly: they has a list of projects to support Christians in threatened parishes and also to help relocate a Baghdad seminary to a more secure location, among others. Check it out, and please give!
