Last week we held the quarterly meeting of the Development Trust Board of Trustees who support the University in obtaining funding for both scholarships and the University.
During the meeting we said goodbye to Paul Singleton, who has stepped down after eight years serving on the Board. We had the pleasure of welcoming Mrs Elfrida Hamilton-Russell to her first meeting as a Trustee.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to Paul for his dedication and commitment to the Trust over the last eight years.

Well, at this point, we've seen three or four tracklists for Pearl Jam's upcoming album, Lightning Bolt, and all have proven to be mostly, if not completely, fake. Now, PearlJamOnline has been sent a picture of another. Though I could probably fashion a similar document on my laptop, we're not getting the fake vibe off of this one. It incorporates all the rumors to date, including known song titles (Infallible, Siren(s), Lightning Bolt, [Our] Future Days) and a track from Ukulele Songs (Sleeping By Myself).
Too much to hope for? Not really, we expected something soon, but ya' gotta hope Where's The Sponge? is a better song than the title would imply.

NOT A BELIEVER STILL? FOMO AGAIN? The halving is coming in 2024!
Today's blog is our Archives at SafeSourcing.
Don't miss out! This post is from a few years back and it was spot on, so it might be time to invest again.
If you had invested $1,000 dollars in Bitcoin back in 2008, you'd have a WOW amount today. Bitcoin is based on the blockchain protocol. What is blockchain you ask? Blockchain is a digital ledger in which transactions made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are recorded chronologically and publicly "we can actually have a look at the blockchain and see evidence of what's going on." Blockchain originated in the technology space, which explains slow adoption rooted in its techno-babble jargon.
Marketing and business strategist, Clay Hebert (founder of Crowdfunding Hack), sees a familiar story playing out differently this time compared to how many companies were late to the party when social media emerged. People were very apprehensive about social media, putting your business or yourself out there for the world to see. But it worked, businesses were booming after starting a Facebook or Twitter page. People new about you and everything went viral. "In the mid-to-late 2000's, big companies missed the social media train. They couldn't see how Twitter or Facebook would immediately impact their business, so they were slow to adopt these technologies. They don't want to play catch-up again." Quoted by CEO of Bitcoin.
This is the same about Bitcoin. People all over are talking about how bad it is or what a scam it is. As Hebert (founder of Crowdfunding Hack) suggests too, we're already starting to see wider understanding and adoption in blockchain technology from companies big and small. For example:
- Large consulting firms like Accenture and Deloitte are building out entire blockchain practice areas and developing key alliances in the space.
- IBM recently forged blockchain collaboration with Nestlé, Walmart, Costco and others to improve global food supply chain safety.
- Some realtors have begun to differentiate themselves by accepting Bitcoin for real estate transactions (CNBC).
- The hurdles won't be overcome overnight. Similar to the Internet itself and social media, blockchain will enable new digital transactions that will disrupt traditional businesses like document authentication and title searches.
Smart companies will build skills around blockchain technology to ensure they are the ones doing the disrupting rather than the ones being disrupted.
Bitcoin is becoming bigger by the day and I say we all get on board fast. The Companies are drastically starting to use it around the world. And it's a matter of time before its being used everywhere and in every aspect of our financial world.

REC Solar has developed new solar financing partnerships that are tailored to the needs of non-profits, such as churches, hospitals, HOA's, and charitable organizations.
Learn About Three New Finance Models for Non-Profits Wanting to Go Solar
Contributed by | REC Solar
There have generally been two main financial challenges for non-profits interested in going solar. First is the lack of funds or credit availability for purchasing a solar system. The second issue is taxes—or rather their tax-exempt status. Because non-profits don't pay income and property taxes, they're often barred by legislation from taking advantage of local and federal tax incentives, such as solar's 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC).
Having dealt with these customer issues in the past, REC Solar has developed new solar financing partnerships that are tailored to the needs of non-profits, such as churches, hospitals, HOA's, and charitable organizations. All three finance solutions address solar's upfront costs and the ability to indirectly capture tax incentives, while each is also designed to significantly reduce a non-profit's electricity bills.
Financing Option #1: Solar Power Purchase Agreements (Solar PPAs) for Non Profits
Solar Power Purchase Agreements (Solar PPAs) have become the most popular option chosen by homeowners who install solar and have been used by businesses and utilities on large scale projects for many years. While non-profits are ideal candidates to benefit from PPAs, the size of many non-profit solar projects often doesn't meet the minimum size requirements of most PPA providers. However, now there's a new solar PPA model that both removes the size barrier and meets specific finance needs for non-profits.
As with typical solar PPAs, there are no upfront costs to the non-profit and any local or federal tax benefits are incorporated into a discounted rate for energy. In addition, the installation's solar energy production is precisely metered, so the organization only pays for the amount of power that the solar panels generate. More importantly, the solar PPA's kilowatt-hour (kWh) rate is always designed to be lower than the utility's rates, and all maintenance is included.
Among the innovations, this new non-profit solution has a shorter term, typically 15 years instead of 20 to 25 years. It also provides organizations with flexibility in annual rate escalation and early buy-out options. All in all, this new solar PPA model provides a simple, turnkey solution that will allow non-profits to go solar for $0 down and still reduce their operating costs.
Financing Option #2: Commercial PACE Tailored for Non-Profits
As with solar PPAs, PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) programs for commercial businesses have been available for some time. With traditional PACE programs, the upfront cost of the solar system is added to a property owner's property taxes and paid over 20 years through a special tax assessment. Typically, annual energy savings from the solar system is far greater than annual PACE payments. However, churches and othernon-profits don't pay property taxes, so PACE financing is often assumed to be unavailable, which is actually not true.
In fact, non-profit organizations in California may 'opt-in' to a PACE program and fund their solar installations via a voluntary property tax assessment.
The organization can structure the payments over 20 years, dividing payments into small chunks, and then own the system at the end of the term. Additionally, third-party ownership options such as a PACE solar PPA or solar lease are also available, allowing non-profits to increase their savings by indirectly capturing available local and federal tax incentives and receiving the lower long-term energy payments and all-included maintenance benefits of a PPA.
Financing Option #3: Crowd Funding for Solar Projects
Churches, temples, and other religious organizations often fund building improvements with specific fund-raising campaigns that rely on donations. Now there's an innovative financing option that allows members of these organizations to crowd-fund a solar installation—and receive a return on their investment.
With this finance solution, the finance company works directly with the organization's leaders to facilitate the 'heavy lifting' of educating and engaging their member base. Then, they structure and execute an agreement in which the organization receives a $0-Down solar system and a lower monthly payment via a PPA-style agreement.
This win-win scenario allows the organization to go solar and reduce their energy costs and engage its members with a mutually-beneficial investment opportunity over the term of the solar agreement. The arrangement also helps all participants to feel great about reducing the organization's operating expenses while demonstrating environmental stewardship of their local community and the earth.

How would you describe your social media strategy? Is it simply an add-on to your marketing campaigns, or do you have a social media marketing plan? Social media used to be seen as more relevant to B2C – but not anymore. Today, B2B marketers are increasingly using social media to generate leads, build brands and reputation, and even help with recruiting. To answer the question: social media is certainly relevant in B2B marketing!
The way your prospects purchase big ticket items, like enterprise software platforms, or sophisticated medical equipment, has changed. Now, prospects do as much as 90% of their research online, before interacting with a sales person. Your digital marketing, and your activity on social media – LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, or Snapchat – might serve as the starting point for this research activity, or might help to validate the research your prospect has already done.
>> Eager to learn more about social media in B2B? Register now for our free infusinar 'How can B2B companies benefit from social media?'
The fact is, no matter how 'traditional' your company or product, you need to have a social media presence and strategy. But it doesn't have to be a huge undertaking. The beauty of social media for B2B is that you probably don't need, or even want, hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter or Facebook. And while you won't ever achieve the volume of traffic that you might see in B2C, remember that the value of the B2B leads you do generate – and the ROI of your social channels – will be much higher.
You likely have a very specific set of customer personas, or types, that you're interested in reaching. The challenge is to figure out how to reach these targeted prospects, and provide the types of content they want.

Don't share private information. Your enthusiasm will lead to vulnerability, making it easy for someone to take advantage of your kindness and generosity. Protect against loss. Keep your belongings, passwords and financial documents in a secure place. Aim to gain, and don't let someone take advantage of you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Search for a new way to put your skills to good use. Revising your resume or offering a service that is needed in your community is a good place to begin.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take care of personal finances, or medical or legal matters. If you depend on someone else to speak on your behalf, you will not get the outcome you hope for.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Anger will mount if you feel you are being picked on. Before you point the finger at someone else, look inward and consider what's being said and what's being questioned.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Words can hurt. Think before you speak, and don't bring emotional or personal matters into a discussion at work. Your actions will determine how others view you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Personal changes will result in added benefits. What you do to improve your performance or productivity will not go unnoticed. You'll make remarkable advances if you are clear about your motives.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Keep busy, live up to your promises and don't disagree with a partner or someone you live with. Be positive or put an incentive in place when asking for approval.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you sit on the sidelines, you will have no one to blame but yourself if things don't go your way. Make a difference by choosing to speak up.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Avoid an incident that could affect your income by fulfilling your promises and finishing what you start. Being responsible will make a difference at the end of the day.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Carefully examine what's being said or the actions someone takes. Misrepresentation or manipulative tactics will push you out of your comfort zone. Don't fret when you can do something about it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be careful when dealing with people from your past. Someone will take advantage of you. Offer suggestions when asked for help, but don't take control. Take care of your needs first.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- An energetic approach to work, money and getting ahead will pay off. Your enthusiasm and ability to get things done quickly will be impressive and will lead to greater prospects.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The power of persuasion is against you today. Don't give in to someone's enthusiasm for a product or pursuit. Plan to invest in yourself, not in someone else.

If you live on the East Coast – or have been watching your twitter feed- then you know there is an "allegedly" huge snow storm on the way this weekend. The Tri-state and the DMV area are bound to get hit pretty hard during the first (and hopefully last) snowstorm of the season.
Whether you get to be snowed in with bae or it's just you and your snacks, being bored during Snowmageddon 2016 is a huge no no. While many people are stuck on "Netflix and Chill", there's an entire world on Youtube filled with great web series just waiting to be discovered. So grab some hot chocolate and checkout these five dope Youtube web series that you should watch over the weekend!
For a show you AND bae will like: "That Guy"
Created by Jeanine Daniels, That Guy is a series that focuses on the relationship between three friends: Mike, Judah, and Dionne. While the beginning the series focuses on Judah's playboy attempts to find his latest conquest, the following seasons focus on all of the friend's love lives and mishaps from the male and female prospective. Checkout the hilarious first episode- which may remind you of a friend or yourself- below:
Honorable Mention: Anything on Black & Sexy TV is great to watch, especially Rider which has a great soundtrack!
For the Horror/Sci-fi Fan: "Surviving"
If you're into zombies and "The Walking Dead", this one is for you. The Reagan Gomez-Preston created series focuses on two sisters, Shayla and Lucy, who are forced to make it on their own after a "flu-like" virus takes over their city and the government does nothing to stop it. It's great and refreshing to see a black female actress in a sci-fi based series, who is strong and doesn't get killed in the first episode! Watch the first episode of Surviving below:
For the Hood Classic fan: "Money & Violence"
The Brooklyn based web series, Money & Violence, is perfect for those who enjoy hood classics such as "Paid in Full", "Killa Season", or "State Property". Money & Violence focuses on Miz and Rafe's day to day money hungry lifestyle of crime and scamming. The series is actually based on life and experiences of Moetivation, who plays Rafe. Season two of Money & Violence is set to hit Tidal very soon! So, if you've been sleeping on the greatness that is Money & Violence, checkout the first episode below:
If you love fast paced dramas, watch: "Close Friends"
Created by Ricky Jean Francois, Close Friends is about eight friends who share a lot more than a bond. The Florida based web-series tackles the things all 20 somethings go through including the friend zone, dating, and money woes. Each season is filled with more drama and plot twists-including a love triangle- which is bound to keep you glued to your laptop. Checkout the first episode below:
For those who miss their college days: Black Boots
Black Boots, created by Geno Brooks, took me right back to college. This web series follows Grant Boyer's journey and struggles on his way to brotherhood at an HBCU. It was refreshing to watch a very realistic series that focused on some of the issues (including sexual assault) that go on within college. The web-series also gave a glimpse of what life is rumored to be like while line for a Greek organization. Yes, it goes there. Checkout episode one of Black Boots below:

Case Study: Service Trailers at Varying Heights
Following an investment in permanent loading dock construction, this company realized a significant discrepancy its dock approach decline. With a slope that declined 5% more than contracted and a trench drain 10 ft. from the dock face, the customer experienced numerous safety and operational issues. Forklifts and pallet jacks were bottoming out or getting stuck between the dock leveler and the back of a trailer, and it was difficult to service different styles of trucks and trailers. To correct the faulty loading dock construction, Dockzilla's Pit Filler Wheel Risers bridged the compound decline over the trench drain area and created a consistent line of approach. Customized based on this customer's dock conditions and trailer requirements, the pit filler wheel risers minimized the trailer bed drop, eliminating equipment damage and ensuring that trucks could meet the dock at the correct height to be loaded or unloaded.

Pictured above (Google Earth): The NLL and the DPRK's alternative maritime border in the West Sea
Evan Ramstad writes in the Wall Street Journal:
North Korea state media on Thursday issued a statement that claimed possession of all waters around South Korea-controlled Yeonpyeong Island, clarifying for the first time that its Nov. 23 attack of the island was motivated by a different view of the inter-Korean maritime boundary in the Yellow Sea than is widely held.
North Korea has said since the attack that it was motivated because shells from an artillery test South Korea conducted on the island that day fell into its waters.
Military officials in South Korea have said that its test-firing that day was routine and was directed into South Korean waters south of the island. South Korea has long understood the maritime boundary to be in several miles north of the island and, as a result, directs its tests southward.
But officials and analysts who have watched North Korea's evolving statements since Nov. 23 have noticed that Pyongyang didn't claim that South Korea fired northward, raising questions about just what territory North Korea was claiming.
The new statement carried by Korea Central News Agency wiped out the ambiguity.
"The above-said island is located deep inside the territorial waters of the DPRK side from the maritime demarcation line," the statement said, using an acronym for North Korea's full name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"If any live shell firing is conducted from there, shells are bound to drop inside the territorial waters of the DPRK side no matter in which direction they are fired because of these geographical features of the island," the statement added.
North Korea has long disputed the inter-Korean maritime border in the Yellow Sea, or West Sea, which was drawn up by the United Nations when hostilities in the Korean War ended with a ceasefire in 1953.
In recent years, North Korea has grown more vocal and belligerent in its claim of a different maritime border, one that runs many miles to the south of the one drawn by the U.N. and known in South Korea as the Northern Limit Line, or NLL.
In North Korea's claim, five islands that have long been controlled by South Korea lie within its waters. However, North Korea has not claimed possession of the islands.
As it exists, the U.N.-drawn border forces military and fishing vessels from the North Korean city of Haeju and other points along its southern coast to make a coastline-hugging journey westward for 30 miles or more before they can reach open water.
Here is the DPRK's statement in full from the new KCNA page (for those who do not want to visit the new page):
Pyongyang, December 9 (KCNA) — The Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea released a detailed report on Wednesday laying bare the truth and nature of the Yonphyong Island shelling incident in the West Sea of Korea. It clarified internally and externally who was the provocateur and who was to wholly blame for it.
The report said:
The Yonphyong Island covers just 6.8 square km and it has nearly 18 km in circumference. But this small island has been fortified as such core military stronghold that the puppet forces call it "area for top class guard." A brigade of the puppet marine corps and "K-9" self-propelled artillery pieces of more than one company are deployed on the island and it has a dense network of detection means and intelligence-gathering and communication facilities.
It was waters not far from Yonphyong archipelago that patrol ship of the puppet forces "Cheonan" sank in March this year. The puppet warmongers have persistently escalated the tension in this area, crying out for seeking "revenge," and at last went the lengths of perpetrating direct shelling under the pretext of a military exercise.
The motive of the incident and the background against which it occurred make it clearer that it was a deliberate provocation of the puppet forces.
The above-said island is located deep inside the territorial waters of the DPRK side from the maritime demarcation line. If any live shell firing is conducted from there, shells are bound to drop inside the territorial waters of the DPRK side no matter in which direction they are fired because of these geographical features of the island.
The puppet warmongers fired as many as thousands of shells into the territorial waters of the DPRK side after deliberately fixing those waters as a target of sighting firing. This reckless act was obviously a deliberate provocation to prompt the DPRK to take a military counter-action.
No matter what rhetoric the south Korean conservative group may use in a bid to shift the responsibility for the incident onto the DPRK like a thief crying "Stop the thief!" it cannot hide the truth.
The above-said incident was an inevitable product of the puppet conservative group′s vicious moves to escalate the confrontation with fellow countrymen and ignite a war.
The inter-Korean dialogues and visits which had been brisk since the adoption of the June 15 joint declaration were totally suspended and an atmosphere of reconciliation, unity and reunification rapidly got cool due to the puppet group.
The conservative authorities of south Korea have persistently mocked at the DPRK′s sincere efforts to improve the inter-Korean relations and turned away their faces from them.
Since the puppet warmongers′ seizure of power, they have staged an increasing number of exercises for a war of aggression against the DPRK and they assumed more dangerous nature.
They have staged more frequent military exercises in waters off Yonphyong Island, in particular.
When the puppet group′s all policies to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK and war moves against it proved totally bankrupt in face of the domestic and foreign public′s rebuff and condemnation, it orchestrated such hideous shocking incident as the Yonphyong Island shelling incident as its last-ditch effort.
While the conservative group of south Korea was the direct provocateur of the said incident, the U.S. was a wire-puller and chieftain of the incident as it egged the puppet warmongers onto the military provocation.
The above-said incident was triggered off because of the illegal "northern limit line" fixed by the U.S. in the West Sea of Korea.
Military clashes and disputes have not ceased in waters of the West Sea of Korea since the cease-fire due to this bogus line having no ground in the light of international law as it was unilaterally drawn by Clark, the then UN forces commander on August 30, 1953.
The U.S. sidestepped the DPRK′s fair and aboveboard proposal for fixing a military boundary line in the West Sea. And it instigated the puppet conservative group to totally scrap the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration, claiming that the setting up of a special zone for peace and cooperation in the West Sea would bring the "northern limit line" to naught.
The U.S. in league with the puppet warmongers have run the whole gamut of schemes to make the "northern limit line" an established fact at any cost.
Not only the warship "Cheonan" case in March but the recent Yonphyong Island shelling incident were cooked up according to this sinister scenario of the U.S. and under its backstage manipulation.
Since the above-said shelling incident the U.S. has massively supplied the latest weapons to the puppet group while zealously egging it onto carry out what it called "retaliation plan." This fact goes to clearly prove that the U.S. was the arch criminal who orchestrated and wire-pulled the incident behind the scene.

Help people defend their boundaries with the Dealing With the Leech Hypnosis Script
How to develop effective ways for dealing with the leech using hypnosis
We all have to deal with difficult people of one kind or another at some stage during our lives, but one of the most challenging kinds of 'difficult' you may encounter is surely the emotional leech. These are the people who take way more than their fair share of your time, your energy, your attention, your efforts. And give very little back. So you end up drained.
The Dealing With the Leech Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection was developed specifically to help people a) discern who is being too emotionally demanding in their lives and b) establish and maintain effective personal boundaries to protect themselves from overload.
The session begins with a down-to-earth pre-talk looking at how emotionally unbalanced relationships come about and persevere if you don't take action. A method for identifying the 'excessive takers' is introduced and the importance of boundaries explained.
A long, gentle induction lets the client gradually slip into a calm, dissociated, relaxed and receptive learning state where they can update their instinctive responses easily and quickly.
When the client is fully relaxed, the trancework connects them first with the positive roots of their ability to empathise and bond with others and focuses on amplifying the good feelings associated with true friendship and relationship.
The art of discernment is then added in, and the client is invited to explore, learn and integrate the skills of distinguishing between real friends, people in need, and freeloaders who are only out for what they can get.
Through hypnotic rehearsal the client learns how to strengthen their personal boundaries and defend them against the excessive emotional demands which a kind heart can find so hard to resist. Listening repeatedly will allow the client to make maintenance of appropriate boundaries a normal part of their dealing with others, thus keeping them safe from overwhelm.

Pope Benedict Argues Catholic Church 'Purified' Indigenous Peoples
During his recent trip to Latin America, Pope Benedict XVI offended millions when he arrogantly suggested that Catholicism had purified indigenous populations, and called the resurgence of indigenous religions a step backward. He also said the native populations were longing for Christianity, and had welcomed the Catholic priests at the time of European conquest.
He tried to clean it up afterwards by noting the, "sufferings and injustices inflicted by the colonizers on the indigenous populations whose human and basic rights often were trampled," but the damage was done.
The Pope seems to have selective amnesia when it comes to the Church and its horrendous history of human rights disasters against people of color. This happens at a time when Catholicism is becoming an increasingly southern religion and an increasingly brown religion. Roughly half of Catholics are in Latin America. Not only is the Pope out of step with the needs and everyday realities of the Third World, he is not speaking their language, and not owning up to the sins of the past.
Religious institutions have excused, aided and abetted crimes throughout history. Indeed, the church has much to atone for. There are three bulls (edicts, or executive orders, if you will) issued by the Papacy with which we should concern ourselves. The Dum Diversas, issued by Pope Nicholas V in 1452, authorized King Alfonso V of Portugal to reduce any "Saracens (Muslims) and pagans and any other unbelievers" to perpetual slavery, thereby ushering in the West African slave trade.
The Romanus Pontifex, also issued by Pope Nicholas V in 1455, sanctioned the seizure of non-Christian lands, and encouraged the enslavement of non-Christian people in Africa and the Americas. Specifically, it gave the green light to "invade, search out, capture, vanquish, and subdue all Saracens and pagans whatsoever, and other enemies of Christ wheresoever placed," all for profit, and in the name of Jesus Christ.
The Inter Caetera, signed by Pope Alexander VI in 1493, states, "... we (the Papacy) command you (Spain) ... to instruct the aforesaid inhabitants and residents and dwellers therein in the Catholic faith, and train them in good morals." This papal law sanctioned and paved the way for European colonization and Catholic missions in the New World.
These three edicts opened the floodgates for everything that followed, the raping, pillaging, kidnapping, genocide and enslavement of millions. They established the groundwork for the global slave trade of the 15th and 16th centuries, and the Age of Imperialism. Speaking of organized crime, at this time I'm reminded of a famous line from the movie The Godfather, referring to the drug trade: "In my city, we'd keep the traffic in the Dark People, the Coloreds -- they're animals anyway, so let them lose their souls."
Despite the changing color of the church, there has been no pope from outside Europe in centuries, since the days of the African popes. And today, the current pope seems to want to perpetuate the paternalism and the racism of the past. The church is behind the times and out of step with the modern world and the needs of the poor. Its unhealthy view toward sexuality has destroyed the innocence of youth, through child abuse scandals. Its homophobia is callous and hypocritical. And its condemnation of reproductive freedom and contraception -- stemming from a vow of celibacy for priests and nuns that had more to do with preventing clergy from having heirs who would inherit church property, and less to do with spirituality -- is irresponsible, in light of the AIDS epidemic in Africa, home to the lion's share of AIDS cases.
In Brazil, Pentecostalismism is on the rise. There have been efforts to incorporate African rites and drums into Catholic services, in an effort to become more dynamic and more relevant. Yet, in the most African nation outside of Africa, and the world's largest Roman Catholic nation, there are only 11 Black bishops out of 400.
In Latin America, liberation theology remains influential. This school of theology, which focuses on social justice and political activism for the poor, challenges people in high places, and views Jesus as liberator of the oppressed, is rejected by the Vatican. In fact, Pope Benedict has devoted his career to eradicating liberation theology and its supporters, which he rejects as Marxist-inspired, and "a threat to the faith of the church."
What we are witnessing is the ancient struggle between imperial religion -- the arrogant manipulation of God to endorse the powerful, protect the rich and maintain the status quo -- and the use of faith as a force for social change. Look at the Christian Right's endorsement of Bush as "God's President," as he presides over the largest transfer of wealth in the nation's history, turns his back on New Orleans, appoints Christian Right attorneys to suppress the voting rights of African Americans, and sponsors the carnage taking place in Iraq. And on the other hand, remember Gandhi, who used Hindu spirituality and civil disobedience to liberate India from the British Empire. Remember Dr. King, who condemned Jim Crow segregation, poverty at home and an immoral war in Vietnam, as conservative Christians met him with brutality and death threats and moderate Christian clergy urged him to slow down. This is nothing new.
No longer can the great father on high dictate to the masses of colored children. Eradicating poverty, empowering the weak and seeking justice for all are the wave of the future. Glorifying a past that was a nightmare to many, and denying people their basic dignity and cultural self-determination, the Pope and other rusty, outdated institutions must get on the right side of justice, or find themselves relegated to the dustbin of history.
