LMKursiCLfc The Ministers' Conference of Winston-Salem and Vicinity (MCWSV) has, over the years, awarded over $100,000 in scholarship funds to students pursuing an education beyond high school because it recognizes that Scholarships are among the most desirable ways to finance a college education. MCWSV is an example of churches pulling their resources together to ensure doing their part in local com munities in order to support education. The MCWSV committee considered a number of applicants. The core of ministers who reviews the applica tions considered academic achievements and financial need. Last month, six college-bound high school gradu ates were awarded the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Seed Fund Scholarships of $1,000 each. The 2015 scholarship recipients are: Monique Wilkins, Donald Carter Jr., Twanda Elicia Montgomery, Japreis Sydni Evans, Emerci Jones and Greanna Marshall.

He will be installed Nov. 1 in a service at the Washington National Cathedral, the day Jefferts Schori completes her nine year term. "We've got a society where there are challenges before us. We know that. And there are crises all around us. And the church has challenges before us," Curry told the assembly, when he was introduced as presiding bishop-elect. "We are part of the Jesus movement, and nothing can stop the movement of God's love in this world." Curry was elected as the nation is grappling with the aftermath of last week's massacre of nine congre gants at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina, and amid the Black Lives Matter movement over the deaths of black men in police shootings and in police custody. The Episcopal Church, the faith home of many Founding Fathers and U.S. presidents, has been trying to confront its own history of racism. The church has asked dioceses to research their own links to slavery because many Episcopalians were slave holders whose donations were used to build church es, cathedrals and schools. In 2008, Jefferts Schori held a national service of repentance to apologize for the church's complicity with slavery, segregation and racism. "The truth is we are brothers and sisters of each other," Curry said. "The hard work is to figure out how we live as a beloved community, as the human family of God." At the Salt Lake City assembly, deputies cheered and high-fived when the election results were announced in the conven tion hall. Norberto "Bert" Jones, 65, of Newark, New Jersey, hugged friends and marveled at being alive to see a black U.S. president and black Episcopal presid ing bishop. "This is beautiful," said Jones, a lay deputy and African American. "God works awesome wonders man." Curry, 62, has been bishop of North Carolina since 2000, leading a dio cese of 48,000 church members, 112 congrega tions and a network of min istries. A Chicago native who has two daughters with his wife, Sharon, Curry grew up in Buffalo, New York, and graduated from Hobart College and Yale Divinity School. He was ordained as a priest in North Carolina, leading parishes there and in Ohio. He then served for 12 years at St. James Church in Baltimore, Maryland, which was established in 1824 as the third black Episcopal con gregation in the U.S. Curry is known for his emphasis on evangelism, public service and social justice. Author of "Crazy Christians: A Call to Follow Jesus," he has said he prays "for a church pas sionately committed to making disciples." Curry supports gay rights, speaking against North Carolina's 2012 con stitutional amendment that banned same-sex marriage, which is now invalid, and allowing same-sex church weddings in the North Carolina diocese. Curry said the U.S. Supreme Court "affirmed the authenticity of love" Friday, June 26, by legaliz ing gay marriage nation wide. The denomination has emerged from a period of turmoil after the 2003 elec tion of Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop in the Anglican Communion. Many Episcopal conserva tives left or distanced themselves from the national church after his election, which strained relations in the Anglican world. McCombs reported from Salt Lake City. AP Religion Writer Rachel Zoll reported from New York. The Chronicle staff also contributed to this report.

Initially, Micah's words are to both nations in terms of their capital cities, Samaria and Jerusalem. Their sins will lead to their destruction. At the present time, both are riding high but when judg ment comes they-will eat dust, lose every thing, and go into exile. This impending judgment comes in response to the plans of the wealthy and powerful. In their minds, "Might makes right" (NIV Study Bible). Micah 2:2 uses the term, "covet" which means not just a passing desire for someone else's possessions but a calculat ed determination to take it! The cries of the prophet describes how the wealthy and powerful will be teased by their captors who will divide all of the possessions of both the rich and poor. This division of land will not bring joy as it did in Joshua > > (who was the son of Nun) 14:1-2. There are false prophets who contradict God's prophets declaring peace and prosperity will remain. Micah confronts them in vers es 6-7a by asking three questions: "Can the Lord be angry with His people; does He bring judgment; and can His word lead to repentance?" They all know the answers!! God's mouthpiece declares that the rich and powerful act like conquering soldiers taking whatever they want with out regards to their consequences. God has had enough; they will be destroyed! Life's Application: Micah's words were uttered during the latter part of the eighth century BC. More than 2,500 years later do they still apply? Stop for a moment to examine the sins of this day - idolatry, injustice, greed, corruption, immorality, and empty ritualism. God also want us to repent and thus be restored to Him. % I KPTC rift muGu Jgr&% *'*STON-SALEM,*C JULY 31 -AUGUST 2 Hanes Park Winston-Salem, NC For more information or to register, visit: www.r2sports.com/tourney.asp?TID=14092 Registration and payment due by July 26 MOUNTAIN VIEW SKIN^CARE Paul D.
