TO PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH.

Stan

I am attaching below what is perhaps the most important column that I have ever written. It is an appeal to US President George W. Bush from one man of faith to another to take military action against Iran to stop its drive toward obtaining nuclear weapons.I feel that I am being guided in faith to try and spread this message as widely as possible, so if there is anything you can do to help get it
out to a wider audience in the US especially among Christians I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks, and G-d bless,
Michael Freund

An appeal of faith to President George W. Bush
by Michael Freund

Dear Mr. President, I am writing to you because I am afraid. I have been closely following the rhetoric of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over the past few months, and I want you to know that I am gripped with a sense of fear.I fear for the future of Israel and for that of the entire Jewish people, as the would-be Hitler of Persia readies to do battle against us with the most horrific of weapons.I fear for the future of the West, because outside of Washington, few and far between are the leaders with the common sense and courage to stand up to the Tyrant of Teheran.And I fear for the future of the world, because if Iran's fundamentalists get their hands on a nuclear weapon, it will only be a matter of time before their extremist allies abroad become similarly armed.

Hence, I am writing to you because I am convinced that you alone understand and appreciate the gravity of the current situation, and I pray in my heart that you will not let it stand.I appeal to you now, not as a political analyst nor as a newspaper columnist, but as one man of faith to another: Please strike Iran hard with military force, and dismantle its nuclear weapons program, before it is too late.I know you believe, as I do, that God guides the destiny of men and of nations. And I know you believe, just as I do, that He raised you up to the helm of power precisely at this critical period, to serve as His agent and His instrument in this world.The God of history has chosen you, Mr. President, just as He did Churchill, and He has entrusted you with a sacred mandate: to save the world from the designs of a madman.

I can tell you that in Israel, a sense of dread has slowly, but surely, begun to sink in. As the Sunday Times of London reported earlier this week, a growing number of my fellow Jews have begun to build underground nuclear shelters adjacent to their homes.The shelters, says the Times, are built to withstand radioactive fallout, have fortified walls and doors and generate their own electricity and decontaminated air. Hundreds of such bunkers, reports the paper, have been built in recent months, and demand is soaring.Mr. President, just the other night, I went out with my family for dinner to a restaurant in Herzliya, the city named after Zionist visionary Theodor Herzl, who foresaw the need to establish a safe haven for the Jewish people. Our waitress was an attractive and cheerful young lady who moved to Israel 16 years ago at the age of four from her native Lithuania, where her family had suffered anti-Semitism and persecution.

But when we asked her if she was happy living here in the Jewish state, the smile on her lips quickly faded. Glumly, she answered us with the following words: That Ahmadinejad of Iran, he scares me. It is a very scary situation. And indeed it is, Mr. President, because my people are in danger once again. It was just six decades ago that the Europeans tossed us into Hitler's ovens and turned 6 million Jews into ashes. Now, with no shame, they stand by silently as Iran seeks to do the same.The United Nations is a lost cause, and we have no faith in Russia, China or international institutions.

The sad fact is that most of the world will not shed a tear if Mr. Ahmadinejad succeeds in achieving his dreadful aims.Here in Israel, our own leadership is tired and weak. They have lost their way, and they are no longer anchored in faith. As we saw this past summer in the Lebanon war, they stumble about as though walking in darkness, oblivious to the danger that stalks us all.There is only one person now, Mr. President, who can stop this terrifying scenario from coming to pass, and I believe that person is you.

I think of you often, and when I do, I am guided in faith to the fourth chapter of the Book of Esther in the Bible, where the evil Persian court officer Haman threatened the Jewish people with extinction. After Mordechai the Jew got wind of Haman's plot, he passed along a message of great urgency to Queen Esther: Who knows, perhaps it was precisely for a moment such as this that you have attained power? Mr. President, that message was as compelling then as it is today, and I believe it is clearly directed to you too.

The decision you face is not an easy one, and I do not mean to suggest otherwise. But there are moments when a leader, like Joshua of old, must be strong and of good courage (Joshua Chapter 1), and not shy away from doing what must be done. In the case of Iran, there can be no room for retreat or for shrinking back from the task at hand. The stakes are simply too great.

Iran can and must be stopped, and the only way to do so is through the use of military force.Diplomacy and resolutions are a smoke screen, and you know as well as I do that they will not slow Iran's steady drive toward obtaining a nuclear arsenal. Only the long and powerful arm of the United States, flexed with all its might, can and will be able to do the job.Sure, the critics and the nay-sayers will try to tear you down, just as they have been doing since you the day you were elected. They will heap scorn on you, call you a warmonger and worse, and denigrate you and your family for many, many years to come.But please don't allow them to deter you or to drive you to despair. Don't let them drown out that still, small voice within, the one that reaches into each of our hearts and calls out every day: I am the Lord, and there is none else (Isaiah Chapter 45).

Mr. President, you know as well as I do that history's final verdict is not written by academics, nor is it determined by the opinion-mongers at The New York Times.The one and only verdict, the one that really, truly counts, is the one that is penned in heaven, by He Who gave each of us life. It is to Him, and Him alone, that we will all have to answer.In just over two years you will leave office. In the greater scheme of things, I am convinced that your legacy will depend largely on the decisions that you make in the coming few months about what to do with Iran.I urge you, I plead with you: don't walk out of the White House in January 2009 without having stopped Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Don't leave the fate of Israel and the Jewish people hanging in the balance.

Remember the promise that God made to Abraham in Genesis Chapter 12: I will bless those that bless you, and those that curse you I shall curse.Note that when it comes to standing by Israel and the Jewish people, there is no middle ground. God delineates two categories, and two categories only: those who bless Israel, and those who curse it.You are in a unique position to bless Israel, and through it, all of humanity, by removing the nuclear sword from the hand of the Persian executioner.The same God Who spoke, and said, Let there be light, and there was light, surely expects you to do nothing less.I will be praying for you, as will many others, and I hope that you take this message to heart.Be strong, be strong, Mr. President, and through you, may we all be strengthened.

German court deals blow to Berlin's EU constitution plans
02.11.2006 - 09:24 CET | By Honor Mahony (EU OBSERVER)

Germany's plans to put the EU constitution back on track early next year have been dealt a blow by the country's constitutional court in Karlsruhe.The court on Tuesday (31 October) said it would not rule on whether the EU charter was compatible with the German constitution until after a final decision had been taken on the overall fate of the document, which has been on political ice since it was rejected by French and Dutch voters last year.German constitutional judge Siegfried Bros, who is dealing with the EU constitution, said that a decision on the issue was currently not a priority.He added, according to German daily Die Welt, that as the EU constitutional process is still under discussion since the two no referendums last year, the issue is not urgent.Should the text stay as it is, said Mr Bros, he would resume work on the constitutional complaint adding there is definitely sufficient time to deal with the issue before 2009.

Setback for Merkel

The statements are a setback for Chancellor Angela Merkel who had recently put the EU constitution back on the bloc's political agenda by outlining a roadmap under which the document would be on its political feet by the European elections in mid 2009.

Berlin had been hoping for a decision by the federal constitutional court in early 2007 which would have coincided with the country's six-month stint at the EU helm.Instead, Mrs Merkel will be leading the constitutional revival efforts although Germany has not yet technically finished ratification. The German parliament ratified the constitution by an overwhelming majority in 2005 (569 of 603 votes) but president Horst Koehler refused to sign off the ratification process until the federal court had taken a decision on a complaint by centre-right MP Peter Gauweiler that the EU treaty was taking too much power from the national parliament.

The MP filed a legal complaint in 2005 that the EU constitution will take power away from the German parliament. He argued it oversteps the boundaries that the German constitution provides for the integration of state institutions in the EU. He also said that the German parliament cannot give more rights to the EU than it has itself.Hailing the court's decision on Tuesday, Mr Gauweiler said the EU constitution has in all probability also failed in Germany.

Second ratification?

Currently 14 member states have passed the EU charter which needs all 25 member states to ratify it before it can come into force.With Germany and France making statements on the constitution, the issue has slowly moved up the political agenda once more. However, each new pronouncement raises as many questions as it does answers. France's Nicolas Sarkozy recently suggested the constitution should be pared down to a mini treaty, raising questions for those who have already ratified the document.

Estonian foreign minister Urmas Paet told the Irish Times that countries that have already ratified the constitution should not have to ratify a second version of the document.For the future, our first preference is that we should avoid the situation that all those (...) countries have to ratify Constitutional Treaty Volume II or something like this, he said according to Thursday's newspaper.

Israel marks 11 years since Rabin assassination Thu Nov 2, 9:58 AM ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israel has commemorated 11 years since the assassination of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin by a Jewish extremist with a series of memorial services across the country.

Thousands of dignitaries and citizens gathered at a graveside ceremony on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, including Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and beleaguered President Moshe Katsav, who could be facing an indictment over rape charges.Following the central memorial service, the parliament was to hold a special session in Rabin's memory where Olmert was to speak.On Saturday, thousands are expected to pack Tel Aviv Rabin Square for a memorial service at the same site where the premier was slain by right-wing radical Yigal Amir after a peace rally in Tel Aviv on November 4,1995.

A recent poll found that one in three Israelis were willing to see Amir, who shot Rabin for initiating the peace process with the Palestinians and who has never expressed regret for the murder, eventually pardoned. Only one in five Israelis held such a view last year.The general-turned-peacemaker inspired both admiration and hatred for signing the 1993 Oslo autonomy accords with the Palestinians, for which he shared the 1994 Nobel peace prize with Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres, then foreign minister, and the late Palestinian leader,Yasser Arafat.

Tensions Rise as Homosexhibitionist Parade Nears
By Hillel Fendel(INN)

The High Court has been asked to order the cancellation of the homosexual exhibitionist march in order to avoid violence. Apparent supporters of the parade vandalized a synagogue in Tel Aviv. Worshipers at the Geulat Yisrael synagogue in central Tel Aviv arrived this morning to find broken windows and this message scrawled on one of the walls: If we don't march in Jerusalem, you won't walk in Tel Aviv.

The police have begun an investigation.Yehuda Meshi-Zahav, a former Neturei Karta member who now heads the Zaka emergency rescue and recovery organization, has filed a suit with the Supreme Court against the parade. The suit, filed against Israel Police and Jerusalem Police Chief Ilan Franco, demands that the march be called off in order not to endanger the public.

Already today, Meshi-Zahav told Ynet, the hospitals are preparing, police won't be allowed to go on vacations, thousands of security force personnel are being enlisted, there is tension, disturbances and demonstrations and there's no reason for this whole mess. Asked why he is taking action against the homosexuals and not those who threaten violence against them, Meshi-Zahav said, The marchers have the alternative of marching somewhere else, but the opponents of the parade have no alternatives.

As others before him, Meshi-Zahav cites the ban on Jews entering the Temple Mount most of the year because of a fear of Arab violence. Col. (ret.) Meir Indor, of the Almagor Terror Victims Association, said that if the police do not cancel the parade but rather provide increased protection, I will petition the Supreme Court to allow and protect Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount, despite the threats of Arab violence that will result.

Two months ago, when the marchers wished to hold the offensive event on the day before Rosh HaShanah, the Supreme Court oversaw a compromise in which the date would be pushed off to Nov. 10.

But they didn't take into account what has been happening in Jerusalem over the past two days, Meshi-Zahav said. Maybe [Franco] thought he would get it done easily, but he is not, and the public leaders told him clearly that it would not pass easily.Similar homosexual marches in Israel and around the world have not limited themselves to dignified calls for equal rights, but included also exhibitionist men and women in various states of undress.

What may be acceptable in Scandinavia or Amsterdam has no place in the Holy Land,say both Jewish and Moslem leaders.

Pro-Arab and anti-Israel messages are often promulgated at these marches as well.Among the planned protest activities will be a mass public recital of Psalms outside the Great Synagogue on King George St., beginning at 9:00 on the morning of the planned march, Nov. 10. Many synagogue will hold services on the street this Sabbath, and rabbis' sermons will concentrate on the sanctity of marital relations and the obligation to protest against evil. The route of the Friday afternoon march will take it from Independence Park, not far from the Great Synagogue, down Agron and King David Streets, and then to Liberty Bell Park, where the marchers will hold a concluding rally.

Hundreds to Commemorate Genesis and Land of Israel Weekends
By Hillel Fendel(INN)

The Land of Israel and the Book of Genesis read aloud on autumn weekends in synagogues around the world are deeply intertwined, and special Sabbaths mark the connection.

This weekend, Parshat Lekh Lekha Genesis 12-17 is read aloud, detailing the Divinely-commanded journeys of the Patriarch Abraham from his father's house in Mesopotamia to the Land of Israel.

The journeys end in the place near Shechem, Elon Moreh - and a special mass Sabbath gathering to mark the occasion will be held this week in present-day Elon Moreh, just east of Shechem. With past experience as the guide, hundreds of people are expected to attend - even though Elon Moreh is the furthest large Yesha community from central Israel. It will be the ninth consecutive year in which the Elon Moreh weekend is being held.

The theme of the weekend will be National Responsibility specifically the religious-Zionist camp's outreach movements that are beginning to make inroads around the country. This is based on Abraham's efforts to bring his neighbors close to G-d and bring them under the wings of the Divine Presence, the organizers explain.Elon Moreh was the first Jewish community in the Shomron over 30 years ago, and continues to blaze many new trails even today, the Shabbaton organizers say. Several years ago, the town prepared in advance for the government's dry up Yesha policy, preparing many new apartments for families, and for this reason, Elon Moreh continues to grow by tens of families each year.This is not the only special Sabbath being held these weeks throughout Judea and Samaria. In two weeks' time, the Torah portion Chaye Sarah (beginning in Gen. 23) detailing the purchase of the Machpelah Cave in Hevron will be read, and thousands of people are expected to follow tradition by flocking to Hevron for the occasion.

Shortly afterwards, when VaYetze (beginning in Gen. 28) and the story of Jacob's dream in Beit El is read, the new-old town of Beit El will host hundreds of people for its anniversary Sabbath. The event will mark 29 years since the re-founding of Beit El, some 20 kilometers north of Jerusalem.Finally, the anniversary of the death of Matriarch Rachel - whose death and burial is recounted in more than one place in Genesis - is being marked today (Thursday), the 11th of the month of MarCheshvan. Thousands of people have already frequented the holy site in Bethlehem - less than one kilometer south of the Jerusalem city lines - today, and more continue to arrive.

Jesus Only Way to Stop Radical Islam, Former Muslim Says
Chad Groening (Crosswalk.com)

A former Muslim woman who has dedicated herself to winning Muslims to Christ has traveled to India to witness to that country's large Muslim population.W.L. Cati recently traveled to an area of northeastern India that is dominated by the country's Muslim minority. The founder and president of Florida-based White Horse Ministry says she plans to speak two to three times a day, carrying the message of the gospel. Christ, says Cati, is the best hope for stopping radical Islam.That's the bottom line. Our salvation is their salvation,says the former Muslim. We need to stop playing patty-cake with them and start giving them the truth and praying that they find Jesus because if they don't, we're all going to be wearing the veil soon.Cati expresses her excitement about witnessing to the large Muslim community in the area and says she is expecting tangible results.

[The area is] full of Muslims. I'm really expecting signs, wonders, and miracles, whatever it takes to bring them into the kingdom, she shares. So I'm going there, laying my life down for their salvation.Cati says the group she is traveling with plans to distribute 7,000 copies of the JESUS video in three languages that are spoken in that country. Her ministry's former name was Zennah Ministries.AgapePress

POISONED WATERS

REVELATION 8:8-11
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood:(bitter,Poisoned) and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.(poisoned)

REVELATION 16:3-7
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.(enviromentalists won't like this result)
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they(False World Church and Dictator) have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Well heres proof the Bible will come to Pass, the secular world are saying this also, that everything in the sea will die. The only difference I believe it will be in 10-15 years at the latest.

Seafood Population Depleted by 2048, Study Finds
By Juliet Eilperin,Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, November 2, 2006; 2:28 PM

The world will run out of seafood by 2048 if steep declines in marine species continue at current rates, according to a study released today by an international group of ecologists and economists.The paper, published in the journal Science, concludes that overfishing, pollution, and other environmental factors are wiping out important species across the globe, hampering the ocean's ability to produce seafood, filter nutrients and resist the spread of disease.We really see the end of the line now, said lead author Boris Worm, a marine biologist at Canada's Dalhousie University. It's within our lifetime. Our children will see a world without seafood if we don't change things.The 14 researchers from Canada, Panama, Sweden and the United States spent four years analyzing all the available data on fish populations and ocean ecosystems to reach their conclusion. They found that by 2003 the last year for which data on global commercial fish catches is available 29 percent of all fished species had collapsed, and that the rate of population collapses has accelerated in recent years.

As of 1980, just 13.5 percent of fished species had collapsed, even though fishing vessels were pursuing 1,736 fewer species back then. Today, the fishing industry harvests 7,784 species commercially.It's like hitting the gas pedal and holding it down at a constant level, Worm said in an telephone interview. The rate accelerates over time.Some American fishery management officials, industry representatives and academics questioned the team's dire predictions, however, saying countries such as the U.S. and New Zealand have taken steps in recent years to halt the depletion of their commercial fisheries.The projection is way too pessimistic, at least for the United States, said Steven Murawski, chief scientist for the National Marine Fisheries Service. We've got the message. We will continue to reverse this trend.

The National Fisheries Institute, a trade group representing seafood producers as well as suppliers, restaurants and grocery chains, said in a statement that most wild marine stocks remain sustainable. It added that its members could meet the rising global demand for seafood in part by relying on farmed fish: To meet the gap between what wild capture can provide sustainably and the growing demand for seafood, aquaculture is filling that need.But several scientists challenged that prediction and questioned why humanity should pay for a resource that the ocean had long provided for free. It's like turning on the air conditioning rather than
opening the window,said Stanford University marine sciences professor Stephen R. Palumbi, one of the paper's authors.

Oregon State University marine biologist Jane Lubchenco said the new study makes clear that fish stocks are in trouble even though consumers appear to have a cornucopia of seafood choices.I think people don't get it, Lubchenco said. They think, If there is a problem with the oceans, how come the case in my grocery store is so full?' There is a disconnect.The researchers said the loss of so many species is eroding the viability of marine ecosystems and their ability to resist environmental stresses. In 12 marine ecosystems they surveyed, they found than a decline in biodiversity of 50 percent or more cut the number of viable fisheries by 33 percent, reduced nursery habitats by 69 percent and cut the ocean's capacity to filter and detoxify contaminants by 63 percent.

This phenomenon is visible in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, where the collapse of the oyster fishery has reverberated across the ecosystem. In 1880 there were enough oysters to filter all the water in the bay in three days; by 1988 it took more than a year for the remaining oysters to accomplish the same task.

FALSE TEACHERS,PROPHETS,DECIEVERS

MATTHEW 24:4-5,11,24-25
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.

1 TIMOTHY 4:1-2
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

MARK 13:22-23
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

2 TIMOTHY 3:13
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

JUDE 4-16
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5 SINS OF PEOPLE

2 TIMOTHY 3:1-7
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

SCOFFERS MOCKING CHRISTS LITERAL 2ND COMING TO EARTH BODILY.

2 PETER 3:3-7
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

LETHARGY AND INDIFFERENCE AMONG GODS PEOPLE.

REVELATION 3:14-16
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

This so called New Bishop Katherine Jefferts-Schori says all paths lead to God, Allows Gays, and calls God a Woman. INTERESTINGGGGGGGGGG,but Lukewarm reality.

First woman priest to head US church
Thursday, November 2, 2006 (New York):

Katharine Jefferts Schori, the Episcopal bishop in the western state of Nevada, thought the odds she would be elected to lead the church nationally were ridiculous.I was a woman, fairly young, I hadn't been a bishop all that long, and I was serving a diocese that's not part of the Eastern establishment,the 52-year-old Jefferts Schori said.Then came the surprise: she won anyway, in balloting at the Episcopal General Convention this June. On Saturday, Jefferts Schori will be installed as presiding bishop at the Washington National Cathedral, becoming the first woman priest to lead a national church in the nearly 500-year-old Anglican Communion.

The Bible is full of stories of the younger son being called and the outsider being called by God to serve, Jefferts Schori said in an interview this week. I think courage is a central characteristic of leadership. If you're not willing to go into dangerous places, you have no business doing this work,she added.The perils for anyone leading The Episcopal Church right now are considerable.

Debating sexuality

The 2.3 million-member denomination is at the center of a worldwide Anglican feud over how to interpret what the Bible says about sexuality and other issues. Jefferts Schori unapologetically supports ordaining gays and allowing blessing ceremonies for same-sex couples. In 2003, she voted to confirm New Hampshire Bishop V Gene Robinson, the first openly gay Episcopal bishop.

The uproar over his consecration is threatening to split the Anglican family, of which The Episcopal Church is the American branch.I'm clear about this role involving the entire breadth of The Episcopal Church, Jefferts Schori said. But at some level, I don't think it's appropriate for me to disguise what my own theological understanding is. I'm someone who believes transparency is incredibly important. It's part of integrity,she added.Yet the bishop also is aware that compromise is necessary to heal the rift with overseas Anglicans, a goal she says is important to her.

Saddening compromise

She believes Episcopalians should fulfil the request of Anglican leaders that the American church stop consecrating any more gay bishops for now, and should refrain from developing an official prayer service to bless same-gender couples.There's a piece of me that is very sad that we need to do that, she said, but there's a piece of me that understands that for the health of the larger body, we might have to do that for a season.Having served just five years as a bishop, Jefferts Schori knows her experience in the church may seem all too brief for such an important job. But she has spent her life tackling outsized challenges.

She is an oceanographer who graduated from Stanford University and earned a doctorate at Oregon State, working at sea with boat captains more accustomed to all-male research crews.A pilot with more than 500 hours logged, she flew her plane to visit parishes in the sprawling Nevada Diocese. She also rock climbs with her husband of more than 25 years, Richard Schori, a theoretical mathematician and retired university professor. Their daughter, 25-year-old Katharine Johanna, is a pilot in the US Air Force. (AP)

US pastor resigns in gay sex row
Mr Haggard said he stepped aside voluntarily

The leader of the 30-million-member National Association of Evangelicals in the US has resigned after being accused of paying for sex with a man.The Reverend Ted Haggard said he would also temporarily step aside as head of his 14,000-strong New Life Church while his colleagues investigated the claims.Mr Haggard, who is known as a vocal opponent of same-sex marriages, denies the accusations.The claims were made by a man during a radio show in Denver, Colorado. In a statement to the New Life Church, Mr Haggard said he could not continue to minister under the cloud created by the accusations.Mike Jones said he had been paid to have sex I am voluntarily stepping aside from leadership so that the overseer process can be allowed to proceed with integrity, he said.In an interview with KUSA-TV, Mr Haggard said he never had a gay relationship with anybody.

I'm steady with my wife, I'm faithful to my wife, he said.Mr Haggard, who has five children, became the president of the National Association of Evangelicals in 2003.He has been described as one of the most influential evangelical Christians in the US.

Allegations

The row began after Mike Jones said he had been paid to have sex with Mr Haggard nearly every month over the past three years. The allegations come as voters in Colorado and several other US states are due to hold simultaneous votes on gay marriage laws. Mr Jones, 49, said Mr Haggard's public stance on gay marriage had prompted him to reveal the details of their relationship. It made me angry that here's someone preaching about gay marriage and going behind the scenes having gay sex,Mr Jones told the Associated Press news agency.

Tuberculosis returns with big jump in cases
By Jeremy Laurance, Health Editor
Published: 03 November 2006,The Independent

Almost two centuries after the poet John Keats coughed, turned his pillow crimson and died, specialists have warned that the disease that killed him is on its way back.The number of cases of tuberculosis, one of the worlds deadliest and hardest to treat diseases, leapt by almost 11 per cent last year to 8,115, the highest total for more than 20 years.Known as the white death because of the deathly pallor of its victims, TB claimed the lives of Chopin, three of the Brontes, Modigliani, Kafka, Stevenson, Lawrence, Chekhov and Orwell.It had been thought beaten by the introduction of powerful drugs in the mid -20th century and cases fell to an all-time low of about 5,700 a year in the late 1980s. But since then they have been increasing year on year and last year was the largest increase since 1999.

Professor Peter Borriello, director of the Centre for Infections at the Health Protection Agency (HPA), which published the latest figures, said:The Black Death, smallpox and tuberculosis were the major killers of the past. Tuberculosis is the bogeyman that is returning.The disease is politically sensitive because the increase over the past decade has been almost wholly confined to the immigrant community.John Watson, head of the HPA's Respiratory Diseases Department, said the largest rise last year was seen among people not born in the UK, who accounted for 5,310 cases, 72 per cent of the total.

Rates among the indigenous population were low and stable.Four out of five cases among immigrants involved people who had been in the country for more than two years, who would not have been picked up by screening at the point of entry, he said.They had either caught the infection after they arrived or their disease was latent when they arrived in the country and it only emerged later. TB infection can lie dormant for decades only flaring into active disease when the patient's immunity is low.

A blood test for detecting the condition in its dormant state is commercially available but it could be five years before trials established it as an effective screening mechanism, specialists said.John Moore-Gillon, president of the British Lung Foundation, called for more resources to target high-risk groups and recruit more TB nurses. If we are going to stop TB we have to have action now, he said.When I started training I never dreamt I would see the number of cases we are seeing today. Something fairly dramatic is going on.

But he questioned the Home Office strategy of X-raying people applying to enter the UK a scheme introduced just last year. The programme operates in Bangladesh, Sudan, Tanzania and Thailand for people wishing to come to the UK for more than six months.We need informed thinking on migration and what X-rays can and cannot achieve, he said.There are 10 new cases of TB a day in London and more than 600 of the total diagnosed last year were drug resistant. Drug resistant strains can take over a year to treat and cost tens of thousands of pounds. England and Wales are the only countries in the EU to have seen an increase in TB cases over the past 10 years. Germany, France and Spain have seen decreases of up to 35 per cent. In New York, the number of cases has more than halved in the past decade.

Caroline Flint, the Public Health minister, said TB was a global problem that could not be solved by countries in isolation. We cannot be complacent about this issue. There are no short-term solutions to tackling TB - this will need long-term, concerted action.Andrew Murrison, a shadow health minister, said: This is alarming. It suggests that, for all its rhetoric, the Government has failed to get a grip on an important public health issue that is preventable and treatable.Almost two centuries after the poet John Keats coughed, turned his pillow crimson and died, specialists have warned that the disease that killed him is on its way back.

Iran begins 10 days of war games
Robert Tait in Tehran,Thursday November 2, 2006,Guardian Unlimited

Iran opened a sabre-rattling show of military might today by firing a long-range weapon said to be capable of carrying nuclear warheads and striking Israel and US forces in the Middle East.Revolutionary Guards tested a Shahab-3 missile at the start of 10 days of war games in a calculated rebuff to the west as it seeks to impose sanctions over Iran’s nuclear programme. The UN security council’s permanent five members - the US, Britain, France, Russia and China plus Germany are locked in discussions over an appropriate punishment for Iran’s refusal to suspend uranium enrichment, which many in the west suspect is a front for making atomic bombs.The war games, codenamed Operation Great Prophet 2, were announced in retaliation for US-led manoeuvres earlier this week in the strategically vital Gulf, through which 20% of the world’s oil passes. In an apparent rehearsal for an anti-Iranian embargo, allied warships practised surveillance of suspected illegal shipments of weapons parts. The US and Britain want sanctions to include a ban on components that could be used to manufacture nuclear weapons.

Iran denounced the manoeuvres in which Britain also participated along with France, Italy, Australia and Bahrain as adventurist. It responded yesterday by announcing a series of exercises in the Gulf, the Sea of Oman and 14 provinces across the country. The head of the Revolutionary Guards, General Yahya Rahim Safavi, said Iran’s response was not intended to threaten its neighbours but as a powerful signal to its enemies. We want to show our deterrent and defensive power to trans-regional enemies, and we hope they will understand the message of the manoeuvres, he said.The first and main goal is to demonstrate the power and national determination to defend the country against possible threat.The Shahab-3 missile fired today has an estimated range of 1,240 miles.

State television said the exercises also included tests on the shorter-range Shahab-2 to take account of adjustments to install it with cluster warheads and give it the capacity to carry 1,400 bombs.

Solid-fuel Zalzal missiles were also launched, as were guided missiles as well as Scud-B, Zolfaghar-73 and Z-3 weapons. It is the third set of war games Iran’s military has staged this year as it has stepped up activity in response to escalating tensions over the nuclear crisis. In April, new missiles and torpedoes were tested in what was seen as a display of Iran’s potential to disrupt oil
shipments. Further tests were conducted in August, days after Iran had flouted a security council deadline to suspend uranium enrichment.
