How To Pray During this Time of War
04/04/03
I got an email the other day from a guy who does evangelism on college campuses across the country. His name is Tom Short and the title of his email was "How to Pray - and How Not to Pray for This War." There were some great principles that I think were brought out and I would like to share them here. Sorry to all of the non-Christians for this kind of an update, but I think that it is crucial to share this at this time. I will have more updates, at least 2 more in the month of April. I got laid off of my job at the end of March so I am able to devote a lot more time here now. Click HERE to read this email in its entirety...

He obviously embraces Black Liberationist theology/thought and this article is advances this position. His byline mentions that he is founder of the Durham, NC based “New Righteous Movement”.

Greetings everybody. Being that we are all Chicago natives, we just want to take the time to acknowledge the horrible, senseless tragedy that claimed over 20 lives early Monday morning at a nightclub downtown. We feel badly for the families who lost such young people. These deaths have rocked the entire city here, not just the black community. Very sad. They are in our thoughts and our prayers today. Please take the time to read about it if you have not been made aware of the details. ENTIRE STORY...

Tavis Has Another Panel Discussion
02/09/03
Yesterday, there was a special that aired (live in Detroit) by Tom Joyner and Tavis Smiley (both influential black activists) called The State of the Black Union - The Black Church: Relevant, Repressive, or Reborn? I taped it and I am sure that it will be re-broadcast several times since that is frequently how the programming is dealt with on C-Span.
