FAITH UNDER FIRE

Men jailed for being on public sidewalk

Gideons arrested after school officials complain they were handing out Bibles

The Gideons, a group founded in the late 1800s, has as its "sole purpose" the goal "to win men, women, boys and girls to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ through association for service, personal testimony, and distributing the Bible in the human traffic lanes and streams of everyday life."
This is insane! Distributing Bibles to those that want them, while standing on a pulic sidewalk is worthy of arrest? I can think of many more important things to worry about..can't you?

In the body of the email list the name of your weblog, and the URL. Your weblog will be added to this Website Blogs Joined So Far: 253 Blogs Left to Go: 29,747 Tell your friends who blog about it, and urge them to send in their weblog as well. When the list reaches 30,000, a date and a word will be listed on the page. On that date, every weblog on the list agrees to make a single post with the word as the title. The content of the post should be about what you want for the world, whatever that may be. The purpose is not to make a particular political statement, but simply to make a noise. If 30,000 weblogs all post the same unusual word, it WILL be heard. Have you ever wanted to shout to the world? Here's your chance.
