Birmingham Alabama Settles Lawsuit With Pro-Lifers Denied Free Speech
By NetworkNews @ 2:59 PM :: 376 Views
|
 11/10/2010 The Life Legal Defense Foundation, a pro-life legal group, today announced the settlement of the federal civil rights action it filed last June against the city of Birmingham, Alabama.
The suit came on behalf of a group of young pro-life activists who were denied their free speech rights and the settlement includes payment to plaintiffs for both monetary damages and their attorneys’ fees.
The suit, filed in early June, arose from an incident in February 2009, when nine members of the Survivors pro-life organization were arrested and jailed overnight for displaying pro-life signs and handing out literature on a public sidewalk outside a high school in Birmingham.
Rather than investigating the incident and admitting that the police had violated the Survivors’ rights, the city later filed misdemeanor trespass charges against them.

Southern Baptist ethicist Richard Land is urging Christians to vote in Tuesday's election and to remind their family and friends to vote.
|
 WASHINGTON (BP)--Saying America is at a crossroads on a host of significant moral issues, Southern Baptist ethicist Richard Land is urging Christians to vote in Tuesday's election and to remind their family and friends to vote.
"All elections are important. This one is critical," Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, said in an e-mail to constituents. "Over the past few years, Washington has taken a sharp turn in the wrong direction on many issues. We are now at a crossroads on life, marriage, religious liberty, and many other issues that should concern Christians. We cannot afford to sit this one out and continue down our present dangerous path."

At least 52 people died when Iraqi security forces stormed a church in Baghdad to free hostages held by Islamic militants, officials said Monday.
U.S. and Iraqi officials said worshippers at Our Lady of Deliverance Catholic Church were listening to a Bible reading when gunmen burst in to the sanctuary and started shooting
The militants, wearing suicide vests and armed with grenades, took 120 people hostage. Authorities believed the attackers to be part of the terror organization al Qaeda in Iraq.
After a four-hour standoff, Iraqi forces backed by the U.S. military stormed the church building. Ten policemen were among the dead, and many of the 62 wounded were women.

VOTE YOUR VALUES TODAY

When Jesus said “render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s,” He indicated there are limits to the authority of the state. That timeless truth should temper our public servants—but lately, it has not.
In America’s self-governing system, We the People are Caesar, so we must vote our values. Before Christians vote on Tuesday, they should know where candidates stand on key issues.
The Sanctity of Life
Congress has appropriated billions of dollars over the years to Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider. Candidates should pledge to defund Planned Parenthood, as well as embryonic stem-cell research and overseas abortions. Type the title here

RNS: Poll: Most Americans OK student religious speech
by Adelle M. Banks, Religion News Service

Three-quarters of Americans support student religious speech at public school events. A slight majority of those who don't practice religion (52 percent) think such expression is appropriate.
In addition, 80 percent of Americans said students should be permitted to pray at events at public schools.

Meeting with the Bishops of England and Wales, and Scotland Pope Benedict XVI
By NetworkNews @ 3:28 PM :: 237 Views

 September 19,2010
This has been a day of great joy for the Catholic community in these islands. Blessed John Henry Newman, as we may now call him, has been raised to the altars as an example of heroic faithfulness to the Gospel and an intercessor for the Church in this land that he loved and served so well. Here in this very chapel in 1852, he gave voice to the new confidence and vitality of the Catholic community in England and Wales after the restoration of the hierarchy, and his words could be applied equally to Scotland a quarter of a century later. His beatification today is a reminder of the Holy Spirit’s continuing action in calling forth gifts of holiness from among the people of Great Britain, so that from east to west and from north to south, a perfect offering of praise and thanksgiving may be made to the glory of God’s name.
