7B RELIGION/V)e QSTUne $ot Thursday, September 15, 2005 Churches lend their support to Katrina victims Continued from page 8B able food. All proceeds fixun the concert will be distributed to relief organizations, with funds going directly to those affected by the disaster. “This is a real example of how the church must be a beacon’ of l^it and hope in times of crisis,” Claude R. Alexander, senior peistor of UPBC, said in a statement from the church. “We are invitii^ the community to help us lift the spirits and send a message of love to those displaced by the hurri cane.” Dye echoed a similar senti ment about churches reach ing out to help. “When somebody is in need. New Hampton has always come running to their r^cue. We just feel like it is time for us to start taking care of our own black people,” she said Dye added that the church not only takes care of evac uees’ physical needs by pro viding clothes and food, but also takes care of their spiri tual needs. “They can come to the church and feel welcomed. We’re not doing this for pub licity, we’re doing this because this is what we are called to do,” Dye said. University City Chiuxh has collected two truckloads of items that they will send to the Gulf Coast and the church has arranged for evac uees to receive free haircuts at Premier Barbershop in Eastland Mall. “Here’s my thou^t,” said Pastor Michael * Stevens Sr. “When you see the footage, those are our people. They say that it takes a village, well it takes the church to raise the village.” Stevens said the church has sent elders and pastors to the Charlotte Coliseum where himdreds of evacuees are being housed to minister to them. Tt is especially rough for them at n^t,” Stevens said. And though it has been over two weeks since Katrina ripped into the Gulf Coast, the need is still great. Churches are still collecting items. • New Hampton, which is located at 211 Hampton Church Road is accepting clothing and food donations. There is a need for brand new underweai*. • University City Chiuxh is accepting non-perishable food, bottled drinking water, first aid supplies, diapers and clothes. Collection will be at the University City Church campus located at 7829 Old Concord Road in the Univ^- sity area fiom 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Monday A second collection/drop off point will be at Premier Barber and Salon located on the Second Why did the Bible allow slavery? Continued from page 8B Curp is fairly critical. Some church decrees opposed slavery Curp writes, but the popes endorsed Por- ti^uese and then Spanish slave-taking “out of cruel necessity” That necessity he explains, was that European Christianity was scrambling for survival against Muslim invaders who had enslaved “hundreds of thousands of Christians.” Churchmen used “every available means” of defense, including complicity with slavers. Though historical cir cumstances explain the papa cy’s performance “it’s a scan dal nonetheless,” Curp says - interesting fix>m a cons^va- tive magazine. Curp also pins some blame on the Bible, saying Old Tfes- tament society was “as depen dent upon slave labor as any other in the ancient world” and neither Jesus nor Paul demanded abolition. Nineteenth-century Chris tians vigorously debated how to interpret these biblical materials. The Old Tbstam^t peissages received detailed examination in “The Bible Against Slavery” (1837), a book whose t«rt is available on the Internet. Author Theodore Weld, who experi enced a dramatic evangelical conversion, became the aboli tionists’ chief lobbyist and strategist. Weld’s argument was in the first place theological, saying the Ifen Commandments (“you shall not steal”) oppose stealing a person’s very self and that Genesis teaches each person is created in the image TO ADVERTISE YOUR CHURCH IN THE POST, CALL BOB JOHNSON AT (704) 376-0496 “The Seventh Day is the Sabbath of the Lord” - Exodus 20:10 Northeast SDA Church 827 Tom Hunter Rd. • RO.

Weld further contended that biblical slavery was far different firom the chattel sys tem in the Amaican South. Most important, it was essen tially a voluntary S57stem of indentured service whereby needy people could enter six- year arrangements (see Exo dus 21:2 and Deuteronomy 15:12-18) and obtain employ ment, room and board. Bibh- cal law regulated the preroga tives of slaves and even demanded fi'eedom if masters were abusive (Exodus 21:26- 7). The New Tbstam^t depicts only household slavery, which generally involved affection “Come Let Us Worship Together” The Friendliest Church in the City of Charlotte” Pleasant Hill Baptist Church ipt 517BaldwinAve. •Charlotte, NC 28204 (704)376-1201 Office '(704) 376-1210 Fax Rev.

Tlie church will be collecting cash donations and clothing to distiibute to Hurricane Katiina victims through vaiious agencies that are assisting the dis placed in Charlotte, like the Red Cross and Salvation Aimy and virtual family member ship. Interpreters think Paul implicitly appealed for a slave’s emancipation in the epistle to Philemon. The tiny Christian minority, of course, had no power to overturn such a universal eco nomic syst^n. Instead, Paul radically opposed distinctions of social status, which gi'adu- ally had its own revolutionary impact; “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither , slave nor fi:^, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Gala tians 3:28).
