Zulema, I strongly believe that what the church needs is more of the type of work that you are doing and the connection that you are making between faith and social issues. The church really really needs to hear more of this and I’m glad that there are others that are really involved in this. Godspeed.

Thank you for your encouragement. There are some who have told us that we cannot link religion with a project such as ours, because of its political nature, but I believe that we cannot completely separate our faith from other aspects of our lives, especially those that affect the way we relate to our fellow human beings.

I find it intriguing to hear the question posted to you, “How does your project relate to Adventist prophecy?” You are right, you can totally expect this. My thought, while reading your post, is “you are that prophetic voice for the Adventist Church.” Thanks for doing this for the church.

I am glad you pointed out a very important fact in the final paragraph of your post, the fact that before you are an Adventist, Christian or American, you are “Creation”. Creation breaks down every barrier in humanity and reminds us if we are to make a difference in our world it must be done in solidarity with one another.

Thank you, AJ, for the link. I will be sure to take time to more carefully check it out. It does look, however, like it would be a good contribution to our project, as well as this blog, in a couple of different ways.

It seems like lines continue to be blurred, and I wonder if this may not be the best step that gender equality has taken. I don’t know if it is a good thing for women to be in combat situations. Like the article points out, there are too many ill-gotten things that can be done to a woman by a man. Unfortunately…this does not just stop to the conditions found in a war setting, it also seems to seep into the traditional form of government as seen in your comments about Iraq’s death penalty, and the women awaiting execution.

Zulema,
Thanks for sharing. There is definately a lot to be said about extreme mis-management in Iraq (an understatement). The atrocities are not only apparent in the rising body count but also in the severe economic and political blunders. What I find most striking is that Iraqis are often denied basic resources- such as potable water and electricity. Yet the cost of the war is astronomical as private contractors continue reap heavy profits!

I hope everyone got a chance to check out Bill Moyers new show! I think it’s very relevent to this blog. Please give it a look, if you haven’t already. I promise, it won’t waste your time!
