[1] Seven PCA Ministers from Metro New York Presbytery Transfer to the EPC
A 27 November 2012 article in The Aquila Report titled Seven PCA Ministers from Metro New York Presbytery Transfer to the EPC reports that on 13 November 2012 the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA)’s Metro New York Presbytery approved the requested transfer of seven of its ministers to the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). The transferred ministers believe that their views on the ministry of the church are more in agreement with the EPC that with the PCA.

[3] Uganda’s President Publicly Repents for Nation’s Sins: Western Media Criticize Country’s Stance on Gay Rights
By Mark Ellis, Senior Correspondent, ASSIST News Service
There could not be a more stark contrast. As President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda boldly repented of his nation’s sins last month, western news media have increasingly denounced Uganda’s stance opposing gay rights.
President Museveni celebrated Uganda’s 50th anniversary of independence from Britain at a National Jubilee Prayers event last month. During the celebration, he did something very unusual for a national leader: he publicly repented of his personal sins and the sins of the nation.
Museveni began his prayer with thanks, then declared his intention to make a firm break with the past:
“Father God in heaven, today we stand here as Ugandans, to thank you for Uganda. We are proud that we are Ugandans and Africans. We thank you for all your goodness to us.
“I stand here today to close the evil past and especially in the last 50 years of our national leadership history and at the threshold of a new dispensation in the life of this nation. I stand here on my own behalf and on behalf of my predecessors to repent. We ask for your forgiveness,” Museveni said.
“We confess these sins, which have greatly hampered our national cohesion and delayed our political, social and economic transformation.”
Next, President Museveni got specific in his acknowledgement of sinful activity.
“We confess sins of idolatry and witchcraft which are rampant in our land. We confess sins of shedding innocent blood, sins of political hypocrisy, dishonesty, intrigue and betrayal."
“Forgive us of sins of pride, tribalism and sectarianism; sins of laziness, indifference and irresponsibility; sins of corruption and bribery that have eroded our national resources; sins of sexual immorality, drunkenness and debauchery; sins of unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred and revenge; sins of injustice, oppression and exploitation; sins of rebellion, insubordination, strife and conflict.”
The president then asked God for a new beginning:
“These sins and many others have characterized our past leadership, especially the last 50 years of our history. Lord forgive us and give us a new beginning. Give us a heart to love you, to fear you and to seek you. Take away from us all the above sins.
“We pray for national unity. Unite us as Ugandans and eliminate all forms of conflict, sectarianism and tribalism. Help us to see that we are all your children, children of the same Father. Help us to love and respect one another and to appreciate unity in diversity.
“We pray for prosperity and transformation. Deliver us from ignorance, poverty and disease. As leaders, give us wisdom to help lead our people into political, social and economic transformation.”
To close his remarkable prayer, Museveni dedicated Uganda to God:
“We want to dedicate this nation to you so that you will be our God and guide. We want Uganda to be known as a nation that fears God and as a nation whose foundations are firmly rooted in righteousness and justice to fulfill what the Bible says in Psalm 33:12: Blessed is the nation, whose God is the Lord. A people you have chosen as your own.
“I renounce all the evil foundations and covenants that were laid in idolatry and witchcraft. I renounce all the satanic influence on this nation. And I hereby covenant Uganda to you, to walk in your ways and experience all your blessings forever.
“I pray for all these in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
While President Museveni repented for “sexual immorality” among other sins, he did not single out homosexuality for any special attention.
Yet, a backlash in the western media ensued, with particular ire directed against the country’s strong stand opposing homosexual rights.
On November 27, 2012 the L.A. Times editorial pages lamented Uganda’s “ignominious anti-gay bill” currently under consideration. Uganda already outlaws homosexual activity, along with 30 other African countries, which the L.A. Times editorial describes as “homophobic.”
The proposed legislation would prohibit the licensing of organizations that promote homosexuality. It would also prohibit touching another person with the intent of homosexual activity, and impose a duty on the community to report suspected cases of homosexuality.
The L.A. Times calls on Uganda to “evolve” toward a more liberal viewpoint favored in western countries. “The criminalization of gay behavior cannot simply be explained away as part of a country’s cultural mores; rather, it is an outrageous violation of fundamental human rights.”

[4] Obama’s Incarnation of Hitler’s Youth
[Editor’s Note: The logical fallacy Reductio ad Hitlerum was coined in 1951 by Leo Strauss in Natural Right and History to describe the discrediting of another’s view by arguing that the same view would have been held by Hitler or the Nazis. The editor remembers commonly hearing from schoolmates during his elementary school days in the early 1960’s a corollary logical fallacy (Expansionem ad Hitlerum?) which argued that Hitler and Nazis were not all that bad because they introduced the Volkswagen and the Autobahn to the world. Another corollary Reductio ad Hitlerum logical fallacy occurs when a comparison to Hitler and the Nazis is made that is both logical and unfallacious, but is tarred with the Reductio ad Hitlerum label anyway.
The following article by Tony Oliva, Director of Media Relations at Gun Owners of America, is both logical and unfallacious. The reader is urged to take to heart the realities and the logical deductions contained therein.]
Too often, debate in America seems to end with the rhetorical firebombing of one side (usually liberals) calling those that disagree with them Nazis or Hitler. Ironic since Hitler and Nazis were socialists, but I digress.
But sometimes, when the veil of hidden agendas is thin and something doesn’t stay under the radar, one can be amazed at just how similar the Obama Administration resembles the Third Reich.
In this matter I am speaking specifically of Obama’s Youth Brigade, euphemistically called by the administration the FEMA Corp.
Before we get into the FEMA Corp, let’s rundown the Hitler Youth group. The HY were a paramilitary organization created by Adolf Hitler in 1922 comprising of German boys from the age of 14-18. The HY was organized into local cells on a community level (Community Organizer…that sounds familiar). Such cells had weekly meetings at which various Nazi doctrines were taught by adult HY leaders. Regional leaders typically organized rallies and field exercises in which several dozen Hitler Youth cells would participate.
As a paramilitary organization, the Hitler Youth could be and were used as an armed auxiliary force to perform a variety of duties such as being active in fire brigades and assisting with recovery efforts from natural disasters and later Allied bombings. The Hitler Youth also assisted in such organizations as the Reich Postal Service, fire services, Reich radio service, and served among anti-aircraft defense crews.
All in all, the Hitler Youth served as Hitler’s Homeland Defense contingent of people that were wholly and completely under his thrall and could be used at a moments notice to quell any unrest within the Reich under the auspices of disaster relief. Members of HY were indoctrinated from the moment they joined in order to be completely behind their leader did not hesitate to instill their leaders vision.
Fast forward some 90+ years and we have President Obama saying this in 2008 in Colorado:
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
A civilian national security force? I doubt he was talking about private militias, and I guess the National Guard wasn’t what he had in mind. Why? Because neither of those groups would be directly under his control. Rather, they would answer to either a free citizen, or a state. But a “civilian national security force” under the purview of FEMA would answer directly to him. And when you hand select who will be allowed to join this force you are all ready weeding out the possibility of dissent.
Let’s talk about this force and who are members of it. In October, the Department of Homeland Security graduated its first class of 231 Homeland Youth. These young adults, aged 18-24, were recruited from the President’s AmeriCorp volunteers and represent the first wave of DHS’s youth corps, designed specifically to create a full time, paid, standing army of FEMA Youth across the country.
AmeriCorp participants aged 18-24? I challenge you to pick out a demographic that would be MORE pliable to Obama’s indoctrination. This is his bread and butter constituency, the one that got him elected twice and the one that his economy has robbed of a future. Of course they will view being a part of the Obama’s Youth Brigade as proof that their chosen Messiah can do no wrong and is there to help them. I mean…its either this or living with your parents because you can’t get a job in this economy.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I am all for disaster relief…but my question is what do they need billions of rounds of ammunition and armored fighting vehicles for?
The Department of Homeland Defense has in the past six months purchased in excess of 1.2 BILLION rounds of ammunition to be doled out to FEMA, the Social Security Administration, the TSA and other traditionally non military organizations.
I guess in Obama’s America tradition is something to be torn down to be replaced by his vision.
So, what do we have? We have a paramilitary organization who are true believers and followers of Obama and who will not question the orders given. They have been indoctrinated to follow their orders and have been heavily armed and equipped to crackdown on dissent or opposition. And they come under the guise of disaster relief and help from the government. If this isn’t a redux of the Hitler’s Youth Brigade I do not know what is.
These are interesting times we live in. No wonder Obama refuses to nominate anyone other than rabid anti gun judges to judicial posts. The Second Amendment is his last hurdle in order to get what he wants, complete control. He rules America by Executive Order, he has no need for silly little things like Federal Budgets, he flaunts his disdain for the citizenry openly and his contempt for the Constitution is palpable.
If one wants to see how this is run on a smaller level, one need look no further than Mayor Bloomberg of New York. He has all but disarmed his populace, rules by fiat, and during the Hurricane Sandy recovery denied access to Brooklyn to the National Guard because he didn’t want anyone in his city that didn’t answer directly to him…citizenry be damned.
And I am not saying that in four years Obama will try to further circumvent the constitution by running for President again, he doesn’t have too. If he is allowed to lay the ground work that undermines not only the Constitution but also the very nature of being American, then he has won. It doesn’t matter who takes over after because the bell cannot be un-rung, and if a follower of his wins then the precipitous slide speeds all the faster.
These are interesting times indeed. The next four years may fully and wholly dictate the future of America unlike any since the Revolution.

[3] PCUSA Synod of Southern California Disses and Dismisses Santa Barbara Presbytery’s Plans to Re-Form as a PCUSA-ECO Presbytery
A 15 November 2012 Layman Online article by Paula R. Kincaid titled “Synod Court Declares Plans for Union Presbytery ‘Null and Void’” reports that in a 10 November 2012 decision, the Synod of Southern California and Hawaii’s Permanent Judicial Commission sustained eighteen of the nineteen counts made against the Santa Barbara Presbytery by the session of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Santa Barbara, California, and twenty-eight other ministers in the presbytery, thus nullifying the presbytery’s 2 June 2012 vote of 104-38 to affiliate both with the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) and Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians (ECO)’s Presbytery of the West as a union presbytery, and the presbytery’s 106-36 vote to recognize ECO as a Reformed body.
The Synod dismissed the legitimacy of the ECO as an equal council to the parallel PCUSA entities, dismissing the ECO as being just a “special interest group”. The Synod additionally dismissed the ECO as being a Reformed body, stating that the ECO, “by requiring a signed agreement of like belief, exist[s] beyond the boundaries of what it is understood to be Reformed.”

[4] Russian Presbyterians Form General Assembly
Twenty-nine delegates from across Russia gathered in Moscow in October 2012 to form Russia’s first Presbyterian General Assembly. Dr. Valdimir Li, pastor of Moscow Presbyterian Church, was elected to a two-year term as the biennial assembly’s first president.
The new general assembly is hoped to make easier the registration of Russia’s Presbyterian churches, as these churches have previously had to be registered under the auspices of a variety of interdenominational umbrellas in order to be considered legal.
The new general assembly will additionally work to develop faculty for Reformed theology courses at Moscow Evangelical Christian Seminary, which currently offers only general courses.
The next general assembly meeting is scheduled for 2014 on Sakhalin Island, which is home to many Presbyterian congregations founded and sponsored by Koreans.

[5] PCUSA’s Stony Point Conference Center Housing 100 People Displaced by Hurricane Sandy
The Presbyterian Church (PCUSA)’s Stony Point Conference Center (SPCC) in Stony Point, New York is located on high ground about a one mile from the Hudson River’s widest point, and only lost power during the worst part of Hurricane Sandy. Many of those living closer to the river bank were flooded by the hurricane’s eleven-foot storm surge, and lost their houses and all of their belongings.
Due to the many people displaced by the hurricane, SPCC has for the time being set aside its role as a conference center, and is instead providing long-term housing for sixty adults and forty children. SPCC Communications Manager Paula Sandusky remarked “Some of the folks we’re working with say we should have given them a cut-off date, but that doesn’t feel right to us….We’re footing the bill for food, the overtime cost of providing three meals a day, seven days a week, plus extra heating costs.”

[1] A City Under Siege: Syria’s Civil War Causing Great Suffering among Presbyterians and Other Christians in Aleppo
By Patrick Cole - Communications Specialist, Presbyterian World Mission
Presbyterians and other Christians in Aleppo, Syria, are reeling from extreme violence inflicted on them by that nation’s civil war, according to Presbyterians in that city.
In an email sent to Presbyterian World Mission, members of the Presbyterian congregation in Aleppo reported that areas with a Christian majority are being targeted by rebel forces. Christians have been kidnapped and a Presbyterian church building has sustained such heavy damage that it will likely have to be torn down.
“Christian homes and subdivisions are being taken over by the rebels from where they fire rockets on the Syrian army, and thus create reasons for the army to respond and further destroy Christian homes and institutions and shops,” the Presbyterians said in the email.
Civil war between government and rebel forces began last year after the Syrian government dispatched the army to quell protestors who were demanding the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad. The protests eventually gave way to opposition groups who formed a loosely organized armed rebellion.
On Monday evening, November 5, a bomb destroyed about two-thirds of the Presbyterian church building in Aleppo and caused the sanctuary to collapse, according to Nuhad Tomeh, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s regional liaison to Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and the Gulf. He added the structure is probably beyond repair.
“It is believed that the radical Islamic groups who have been largely responsible for attacking the Christian neighborhoods have done this,” said Tomeh, who spoke with the congregation’s pastor on Tuesday, November 6.
Other sources inside Syria reported that three Christians have been kidnapped in Aleppo. Among the victims is a member of the Aleppo Presbyterian congregation. His abductors demanded a ransom of two million Syrian pounds (almost $29,000). Though the victim’s family paid the ransom, the kidnappers did not release the man.
A doctor was kidnapped and three million of the 50 million Syrian pounds (almost US$716,000) demanded by the kidnappers was paid by one of the doctor’s relatives. The kidnappers did not release the doctor and instead held the Orthodox priest who delivered it. Three days later the priest was found beheaded.
The Christian community is also concerned about a Bible Society bookshop salesman who was abducted last week. No ransom demands have been received in connection with the disappearance.
The Evangelical (Presbyterian) Synod of Syria and Lebanon is distributing food, medicine, and other provisions to people suffering from the violence. Among them are more than 100,000 Syrians who have fled to Lebanon.
The synod leadership is asking Christians around the world to pray for peace in Syria and to help with relief efforts. Contributions to aid the relief efforts may be sent to the synod via Presbyterian World Mission.

[2] Chicago’s Pacific Garden Mission Celebrates Five Years in New Building and 135 Years of Non-Stop Operations
America’s Largest Continuously Operating Rescue Mission prepares to bless Chicago’s homeless at Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year
By Dan Wooding - Founder of ASSIST Ministries
On September 15th, 2012, America’s largest continuously operating rescue mission, Pacific Garden Mission, celebrated its 135th anniversary.
According to a news release, once it opened on September 15, 1877, the doors to the “Old Lighthouse” have never closed for a total of over 49,300 consecutive days - over half the age of the United States, spanning the terms of twenty-six U.S. presidents.
This month also marks five years since PGM relocated to its new building at 1458 South Canal Street, Chicago, Illinois 60607.
PGM has grown from its start with Colonel George Clarke and his wife, Sarah, in a small storefront seating about forty on a few wooden benches at 318 South Clark Street, to what is now 67 East Van Buren Street in 1880, and then to 646 South State Street in 1923 where it remained until 2007.
Chicago evangelist Dwight L. Moody gave it its name after it relocated to the former Pacific Beer Garden by suggesting dropping the word “beer” and adding the word “mission.” A contribution from Billy Sunday, a notable PGM convert and former player for the Chicago White Stockings, enabled the purchase of the State Street site.
The “Old Lighthouse” has provided holiday meals to countless hundreds of thousands of homeless men, women and children over the years. The Mission meets immediate physical needs: food, clothing, and a comfortable and safe place to sleep. Counseling is provided to help deal with the effects of physical abuse, broken relationships, and substance abuse. Most importantly, the PGM seeks to meet each individual's spiritual need: forgiveness of sin and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
All services are free, including overnight shelter three nutritious daily meals prepared by licensed food handlers; clothing; and medical, dental and eye care. Of PGM’s 992 daily capacity, including up to 257 women/ children plus infants, over 1000 have been cared for on a number of days in recent months.
Able to serve up to 3000 meals every day, year-in and year-out, PGM welcomes the help of dedicated supporters. As in the past, Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng, along with other Bulls players and a crew of volunteers will serve 1000 men, women and children a pre-Thanksgiving feast with beverages and dessert.
"On Thanksgiving Eve, our guests will again enjoy a hearty meal served by Food for Friends. Since 1996, Levy Cares, charitable arm of Levy Restaurants, will serve a traditional Thanksgiving feast with all the trimmings. On Christmas and New Year’s Day, guests also receive a full course holiday dinner and dessert," said the news release.
"Thanks to a generous grant from The Chicago Community Trust, the new Transient Men’s Ministry was created this past year. The Transient Women’s Ministry began in 2009. PGM distinguishes Program participants - those who make faith commitments and join the Bible Education and Career Development Program - from those who, for whatever reason, do not – these are termed transient or overnight guests. They may stay only one day and move on."
Male overnight guests now receive more comprehensive services including job seeking assistance, health care and hygiene classes, basic computer skills, job skills instruction [including resume creation], assistance in locating housing, and many other enabling tools to help them reenter society. They receive job interview tips, salary expectation information, and mock interviews.
Many overnight guests have entered the workforce and left PGM. Some receive assistance in obtaining GED’s and enter college; some continue to participate in job readiness programs through the Cara ex-offender program.
PGM is not a soup kitchen, but a place where comprehensive care and programs become stepping stones to the physical, spiritual and social betterment of lives.
David McCarrell, the Mission’s President, observed, “Our goal really is to have people who come to us as overnight guests, to have their lives changed through the power of Christ, get into our Bible program for a year, develop skills and to move back into society as productive Christian citizens. That’s our goal for everyone that comes here.”
As it has since 1877, the Mission relies on private donations for its day-to-day operations. For more information or to make a donation, contact Pacific Garden Mission at 312-492-9410 or visit www.pgm.org or pgmofferinghope.org. For further information contact: Tony Rufo at tcrufo@sbcglobal.net.

[3] Reformed Theological Seminary Orlando’s Nicole Institute of Baptist Studies Appoints Interim Director the Reverend Barry Peterson
Reformed Theological Seminary (RTSO) is pleased to announce the appointment of the Rev. Barry Peterson as the interim director of the Nicole Institute of Baptist Studies effective November 4, 2012. This institute, established in 2011, exists to impart the riches of reformed theology and piety to students while also conveying a robust Baptist vision of the church in its ministry.
Academic Dean Dr. Scott Swain said, “Barry’s strong relationships with various Reformed Baptist networks in Florida puts him in an excellent position to serve the Nicole Institute’s vision of cooperating with confessional Baptist churches in training future ministers of the gospel. We are grateful to have him on board.”
Peterson was ordained through the Christian Ministry Alliance and has 12 years of ministry experience. Peterson is currently the pastor at Maranatha Fellowship Church in Winter Park, Florida, and has a Master of Divinity degree from RTSO.
When he was on the pastoral staff of a Baptist church in South Florida, Barry “impressed me as a man of integrity and ministerial competence,” said Rev. Thomas Ascol, pastor of Grace Baptist Church and president of Founders Ministries. “I am excited about the Nicole Institute and have prayed that the Lord will use it in a significant way to further the teaching of His Word through the legacy of a faithful servant.”
In this first year of the institute, RTSO will offer the class, Baptist Confessions, January 14-18, and John Piper will present the inaugural Spurgeon Lecture on April 10, 2013, at 7 p.m. in the Pamplin Chapel.

Peterson, who earned an M.Div. degree from RTSO, grew up in the Orlando area where he has made his home for over 40 years. Before attending RTSO, Peterson pursued careers in sales, marketing, teaching, and coaching basketball. Peterson and his wife Jody have been married for 23 years; they have two girls, Claire (11) and Molly (9). Peterson is in the process of writing a book on the topic of family worship.
