September 05 2005 By virtueonline MISSISSIPPI: Murders, Looting and Vandalism. REC priest slain

We have had three killings in our neighbourhood. One of the people killed was a friend of mine, an Anglican priest. He was shot down for his car and its contents. He leaves behind a wife and six children. It's a very sad situation. I have also heard that a lady was shot to death for a bag of ice. Can you believe that? Over a bag of ice!

The situation in Baton Rouge is safe and orderly. If any of you have loved ones here, all is relatively well. But we are running low and supplies, the roads are clogged and gas is hard to find. I'm down to 1/16th of a tank in my truck and cannot find a place to refuel.

As Hurricane Katrina was about to make landfall, Bishop Charles Jenkins of Louisiana sent a message to the Presiding Bishop asking for the Church's prayers. Now that we are beginning to realize the extent of the devastation wrought by the storm, and the flooding unleashed by Tuesday's break in the levees, it is time for us also to begin to provide aid to the thousands whose lives have been uprooted by and washed over by this catastrophe. The need will be enormous.

In place of the tub-thumping and missionary zeal of past campaigns, the new posters simply remind people of the presence of the Church in their communities and of the practical role that it continues to play in society. One poster says: "The Church. Provider of judo lessons, antique sales, playgroups, ballet lessons, school discos, flower-arranging classes, theatre clubs and, oh yes, church." Another states: "Church. It isn't as churchy as you think."

August 30 2005 By virtueonline GABARONNE: The Plight of African Christians

Traditional Christian teachings frown upon homosexuality, as does African culture. It is against this background that the majority of African Christians, Anglicans in particular, are agonising over the consecration of Gene Robinson, an openly gay American divorcee of two, as bishop of an Episcopal Church, the American version of the Anglican Church. Most are horrified, and the consecration was met with harsh condemnation across Africa.
