While Sehested helped develop some of the language, he wasn't the primary author. The statement was in fact approved at the close of the meeting by the entire body as an official statement for distribution to Baptist bodies.Chan Vinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16790062024032792258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081466820244061045.post-70348628770523832202009-03-24T15:33:00.000-07:002009-03-24T15:33:00.000-07:00Correction:<BR/> <BR/>An unclear audio recording led to mischaracterization of a quotation by Lauran Bethell in the March 23 ABP story, "Mercer conference focuses on ending modern slavery." Please replace the fourth and fifth paragraphs with the following:<BR/> <BR/>Bethell, recipient of the Baptist World Alliance Human Rights Award, spent the past 20 years fighting sex trafficking, first in Thailand, then in Eastern Europe. She told the audience she had stayed sane despite working some of the "darkest situations on Earth" by following the example of her leader, Jesus, who went to the dark places of his time because it was the right thing to do. Using the example of the "woman of ill repute" -- to whom Jesus ministered in Samaria and who later became one of his greatest evangelists -- Bethell said Jesus was the ideal example of showing up.Chan Vinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16790062024032792258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081466820244061045.post-908014592550695502009-03-04T20:01:00.000-08:002009-03-04T20:01:00.000-08:00Correction<BR/> <BR/>In the March 2 ABP story, "Senate scandal divides state<BR/>Democrats over race," please replace the third paragraph with the<BR/>following:<BR/> <BR/>"White Democrats -- including Burris' Senate colleague Dick Durbin and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn -- want the senator to step down and allow voters to decide his replacement. African-American politicians and clergy leaders claim Burris is being held to a higher standard than the other 99 senators."<BR/> <BR/>The original story erroneously reported that Attorney General Lisa Madigan is among Democrats calling for U.S. Sen. Roland Burris to resign. A Madigan spokesperson said the attorney general issued a legal opinion that a special election could be held to remove Burris from office, but has not called for him to step down.Chan Vinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16790062024032792258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081466820244061045.post-90287220072306432412009-02-28T14:30:00.000-08:002009-02-28T14:30:00.000-08:00When I arrived at the home page of your blog and started reading about some of my friends, of course my curiosity was peaked.

Really? Feed the poor. Give them handouts. Does that help the poor or perpetuate their status? I must not realize that the poor provide jobs for themselves. Antichrist? No. Socialist, yes. <BR/><BR/>When the ruling Left comes to tell you that you are a bigot, homophobe, and a practitioner of superstition for being a Christian you can trace it back to the guy you voted for putting liberal justices on the Supreme Court. You open up the possibility of allowing anyone to do the wrong they choose (abortion, drugs), but you will also allow people of our faith to be mocked and condemned, not only without reproach, but with State backing. Our opposition will take every opportunity to attack you.<BR/><BR/>Of course, you will say that we will leave it in God's hands and he will provide us shelter/safety, but this ignores our role in the grand scheme - to be affirmative and fight for our beliefs. It would be like hoping a girl will like you without taking any actual steps to get her. Wish in one hand...<BR/><BR/>Well, at least if I don't pass the bar again I can be homeless and be provided for. We're going to end any incentive to actually achieve anyway.<BR/><BR/>- Stephen AdkinsCaptain Stehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12685822944744704715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081466820244061045.post-78743910820029518202008-10-21T07:34:00.000-07:002008-10-21T07:34:00.000-07:00It's nice to see and "hear" that people are playing and enjoying things I've written!

I saw your post about our sign.<BR/>See a partial copy of one of your posts below. Talk about grammar! Note: "The verse is question is part of". I can find some more if you like! Are you a minister? You should find something more constructive to do with your time! Gos bless you. You need it!<BR/><BR/>Commentary: The verse is question is part of the Shema, specifically Deuteronomy 6:5. The Shema is used as the centerpiece of all morning and evening Jewish prayer services. Jesus famously cited this as the most important commandment.
