Forty days to explains purpose of our lives
Continued from page 8B
“The book has secular
appeal,” Stevens said. “And
our underlying plan is to
bring in people that have got
ten tired of church and sick of
the stale religion that the city
offers.”
The Bible, he said, states
that people have to make
careful decisions about life,
but many people don’t.
“This campaign will give
people a renewed sense of
purpose,” he said.
There is no fee to become a
party of the campaign and no
membership commitments,
Stevens said. However, par
ticipants are asked to sign a
short-term conmiitment card
for tracking purposes.
Many of the meetings,
Stevens said, will take place
outside of the church. On
Sundays the chmvh will host
“c^ebration Smidays.”

Fire destroys church responsible for its gospel music contributions
Continued from page 8B
the 1940s it had about 10,000
members, said the Rev. Hycel
B. Ta>ior, the church’s former
pastor.
It had been “the quintessen
tial black megachurch,” he
said.
The church was a place
where the famous architects
Louis Sullivan and Dankmar
Adler experimented with the
features that made them
famovis—such as vaulted ceil
ings, amazing acoustics and
ornamental designs, such as
the terra cotta panels with
intricate foliage designs, said
Ned Cramer, curator of the
Chicago Architecture Founda
tion.
It was built as a synagogue
between 1890 and 1891, but it
has housed the Pilgrim con
gregation since 1922. The sur
rounding Bronzeville neigh
borhood was a vibrant hub for
blacks during the first half of
the 20th century
“It’s like hearing a dose i*el-
ative has died or a good
fiiend. It’s heartbreaking,”
said Cramer.
Though no one was ii\jured
in the blaze, it is feared the
church’s archives—induding
old photographs and Dorsey's
original sheet music—were
destroyed.
Jewish group accuses Chavez of anti-Semitism
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS, Venezuela —A
Jewish rights group accused
Venezuelan President Hugo
Chavez of making anti-
Semitic comments in a
Christmas Eve speech.
The Los Angeles-based
Simon IMesenthal Center
demanded an apology
Wednesday fix)m Chavez say
ing such remarks have long
been used to persecute Jews.
“The world has enou^ for
all, but it turned out that
some minorities, descendants
of those who crucified Christ,
descendants of those who
threw Bolivar out of here and •
also crucified him in their
own way in Santa Marta,
there in Colombia. A minority
took the world’s ridies for
themselves,” Chavez said,
according to a transcript of
the Dec. 24 speech. Simon
Bolivar led the 19th century
fight to liberate Venezuela
and some other Latin nations
fiom Spanish rule.
Chavez did not did specifi
cally mention the Jewish peo
ple in the televised speech.
A spokeswoman for his
office said it had no immedi
ate response to the com
plaint.
“In your words, the two cen
tral arguments of anti-S^ni-
tism emerge... the accusation
I that Jews killed
Jesus (and)
1 associating
I them with
I wealth,” the
I Center said in a
1 letter to
Chavez. “Our
center stron^y
condemns your anti-Semitic
declarations.”

Rabbi Arthur Waskow, said
in an e-mail he has serious
doubts it was an anti-Semitic
slur.
‘T know of no one who
accuses the Jews of fighting
against BoUvar,” wrote
Waskow, of The Shalom Cen
ter in Philadelphia. "And cer
tainly I—and most Jews—
teach that it was the Roman
Empire, and Roman soldiers,
who crucified Jesus.”
Chavez’s comments came in
a part of the speech about the
world’s poor.
Chavez, a fieiy speaker, has
called President Bush a
“madman” and also used a
derogatory term for ‘jerk” in
referring to him. Chavez has
also criticized Mexican Presi
dent Vic«ite Fox.

McLin said she’s hopeful
that Dorsey’s wife mi^t have
sent some of those mementoes
to Fisk University, where the
family choose to deposit some
of Dorsey's belongings. But
she is sure a huge painting of
her uncle—whom she lived
with as a child—was
destioyed.
Still, she said, she’ll never
forget the feeling of being in
that church, surroimded by
thousands of worshippers
packed on the floor and the
balcony, listening to gospel
music.
“The sparit was just all over
the place,” she said.
