ANOTHER VIEW: Conflagration in Israel bemoans a different approach

By Ashley Herndon  |  Today’s violence in Israel bemoans a different approach, regardless of our allegiances and beliefs.  Imagine the surprise that hit the historical tribal leader Moses when he came down from a mountain and saw his people shaping and worshiping a Golden Calf, and on an altar built by his brother, Aaron.  That would knock your socks off.  Wow…ya’ can’t eat gold.

FOCUS: Making comparisons with two Washington marches

By Jack Bernard | The famous March on Washington took place 60 years ago – Aug. 28, 1963.  Some forces in the black community wanted it to be militant and disruptive, along the lines of what Malcolm X desired. However, because of its truly patriotic organizers, the gathering was peaceful- as well as effective.
