CONFESSING
CHRIST,
SPEAKING DIGNITY
A version of the following
sermon was preached by Rev. Paul T. Stallsworth at St.
Peter's United Methodist Church, in Morehead City, NC, on
October 19, 2008(Pentecost XXIII). |
Out of obedience to Jesus Christ, the
Taskforce of United Methodists on Abortion and Sexuality (TUMAS) will
work to create in church and society esteem for human life at its most
vulnerable, specifically for the unborn child and for the Woman who
contemplates abortion. Therefore, TUMAS's first goal is to win the
hearts and minds of United Methodists, to engage in abortion-prevention
through theological, pastoral and social emphases that support human
life."

(06/30/2009) “Speaking in Hilo
Friday [June 26], Rev Walter Hoye of the Progressive Baptist
Church of Berkeley, CA told a gathering of 50 Hawaii religious
leaders about forces of “black genocide” which he says now kill
as many African-Americans every three days as the KKK killed in
86 years of lynching. …. Said Hoye citing figures from the
pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, ‘African-Americans are first,
Hispanics are second’ in the percentage of abortions performed
in the US . After decades of assault on the black family,
progressive ministers such as Hoye are leading an effort to
reverse the tide.”

(06/23/2009) Post-traumatic stress
disorder “is diagnosed when specific symptoms are present
following an intensely distressing event. Typically, the
traumatizing event is military combat, rape, assault,
kidnapping, an accident, a natural disaster, war, or torture. ….
Following the event, some – but not all – people re-experience
it in dreams, flashbacks, or on the incident’s anniversary. ….
Some victims feel numb, detached from reality and other people.
They may not be able to recall details of the event, or they may
be unable to forget them. Some will avoid thoughts, activities,
or places that remind them of the event. …. When a survivor of a
traumatic event has suffered for at least one month with
re-experiencing, avoidance of stimuli, and hyperarousal, she
qualifies for a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder.
When these symptoms occur following an abortion, some have
called the condition post-abortion stress syndrome (PASS).”

(06/09/2009) “A Louisiana nurse won
her battle at the state Supreme Court [on May 15] when it
refused to hear a hospital's appeal of a lower court decision
siding with her. The nurse, Toni Lemly, sued St. Tammany Parish
Hospital in 2005 after it refused to grant a reasonable
accommodation for her religious beliefs. Lemly informed hospital
staff that she objected to administering the morning after pill
because of her religious beliefs.”
