In a deeply felt address, His Grace advocated for the Sanctity of all life, even in those of whom we believe we can discern nothing good whatsoever. He reminded those present that Christ demands this of those who wish to bear his name - who call themselves Christians - and that we as His faithful servants have been called to follow His example of self-less love towards all.

A recent report on FOXNews after Christmas focused on the life of a young Palestinian woman living in Gaza under the Palestinian Authority.  She was studying at university to be a journalist and, unlike most residents of Gaza who live in relative poverty; she was a member of a comparatively affluent family who owned a retail store.  What made her story so interesting was the fact that she was recently released from an Israeli prison along with hundreds of others in exchange for a single Israeli soldier being held captive by Hamas.  She was imprisoned because she had attempted to detonate an explosive vest she was wearing at an Israeli checkpoint but the explosives failed to detonate.  Now, back at school and studying to be a journalist, she calmly tells her interviewer that she is awaiting the opportunity to repeat her suicide mission, looking forward to the day she can kill her enemy and enjoy martyrdom.

Dear Editor,

In the November 17, 2011, issue of the Greek Star, it was sad to see the “ER: The Earthy Report” take not only a subtle non-Christian, racist and condescending attitude toward women in light of a serious but complicated problem facing all humanity, but also to pretend that the solution proposed was “moral.”
