6B RELIGION/(r$e Clisriotte $a0t Thursday, June 15,2006 Pastor targets behavior that leads to infection Continued from page 5B to lose by accepting my plan.” Mayes’ plan is: changing individuals’ habits and men tality “Fm trying to get them seri ous about this Idller and quit taking it for granted and liv ing loosely thinking it can’t happen to me,” Mayes said. “That’s why (I want to reach) thedr minds and show them how good God really is. I guess what I want to say today is Fm trying to blow my trumpet. That’s why I have the mind as the opening plan' here. I do have this great hope that I will cut (HTV rates) in half” In Mecklenburg Coimty, according to the health department, six new cases of • HIV are reported each week and 21 percent of the state’s HP/ cases come from Meck- lenbuig- Mayes’s program includes changing one’s nutritional habits and getting partici pants active by workir^ out. ‘Your body is where Christ wants to live,” he said, also encouraging abstinence as a part of this program. “By me being saved and being a Christian, I can speak with more authority” he said. “I may not be able to get them aU, some might slip throu^ the cracks, but I do bdieve my plan will (lower the cases of new HIV).” But not everyone agrees that faith-based progran^ will help those who have HIV or prevent people from get ting it. In an article written by John James of “AIDS IVeat- ment News,” he said: “The problem is the increas ingly unmistakable efforts from a minority of religious conservatives to sabotage and destroy ^sting AIDS organizations and replace them with programs intend ed to control the epidemic by stopping people from having James also wrote that abstinence-only teaching doesn’t work because many clients in these programs wiU. have sex one day “Marriage is no magic answer and in fact is a seri ous HIV risk factor for women in some societies,” he wrote.

Roots rockin’ reggae makes immediate splash in Holy Land community Continued from page SB as a public bus driver, he played Bob Marley and other reggae musicians to his passengers. With their help, he foimded the Offi cial Israeli Reggae Site on the Web. The site currently hosts the only nonstop aU- Jewish reggae online radio show in the world. While the connection between reggae and Judaism may not seem self- evident, Jewish reggae artists are a growing phe nomenon in the United States as well as Israel. Matisyahu (bom Matthew Miller), who has recorded three albums, is an obser vant Hasidic Jew in New York who sings Hebrew prayers in a reggae style. He divides his time between his yeshiva and the stage, where he plays to sold-out crowds. An American band called Adonai and I per forms roots reggae based on Hebrew prayers, melodies, and psalms. King Django is a ska hipster from Brooklyn who combines reggae rhythms with Yiddish lyrics. “This kind of music is about the message,” said Grubstein. “Don’t give up, look ahead, stand up, peace, respect your brother. People get the message and they like-it.” Kibbutznik Udi Barak is one who got the message. As a teenager, he attended a concert where reggae giants Alpha Blondy—from the Ivory Coast—and Ziggy Marley performed. Along with other members of Kib butz Tseelim, Barak became a fan. The kibbutzniks discov ered that when they played reggae at their communal pub, The Well, more and more people came to listen. So they decided to invite a band from Jamaica to per form there. Since then, their little pub in the mid dle of the Negev Desert has been a popular reggae spot, known to hipsters, Rasta farians, and bands all over Israel. Eventually, the kibbutz decided to host a reggae festival. Barak says that reggae artists came from across IFlje Cljarlottc IPosit Trinity Park Baptist Church “The Church where Praver is Essential and Application is the Kevy We are doers of the Word and not hearers only.

Eight Israeli bands played this year, including the group Tmimay Deim, which means “Of the Same Mind.” “Our message with our music is mostly about har mony,” said Tmimay Deim’s co-fo-under Yoav Ben Yaakov. “We try to make people rmderstand that you don’t have to believe in war, and you don’t have to fight for peace. You can try to find the middle way, based on a pure, simple understanding that love unites everybody” As the midday heat rose, Tmimay Deim’s lead singer cried out to the dancing crowd, “Shabbat Shalom,” wishing them a peaceful Sabbath. Then the band launched into a song that opened with the distinctive strains of klezmer music before transitioning into a familiar reggae beat. While the easy slide from a klezmer riff to a Caribbean time may seem startling, reggae is often- fueled by traditional Jewish themes, such as the exile in “The Seventh Day is the Sabbath of the Lord” Northeast SDA Church 827 Tom Hunter Rd. • P.O.

Both ultra-Orthodox Jews and Rastafarians observe strict dietary laws and require married women to cover their hair. The men have distinctive hairstyles, whether sidecurls or dread locks—which Rastafarians say come from the Nazarite Vow in the Old Tbstament (Numbers 6:5), “There shall no razor come upon his head.” However, another disc jockey who worked at Tbee- Lim’s festival this year, Ras Kulcha, thinks it’s a stretch to relate Judaism to Ras tas. Shirtless in the desert heat, his face and shoul ders framed by an impres sive set of dreadlocks, he says he embraces Rastafar ianism as a philosophy rather than a religion, “The message I get from reggae as an Israeli is abbut fighting capitalism, fighting racism, fighting fascism,” Ras Kulcha said. “There are so many streams, it’s hard to say exactly what ‘reggae’ means, but it’s about deliv ering a message.” Come Share the Vision and Share the Journey Sunday Worship Services 8:00 am and 10:45 am Sundav School 9:50 am Reeder Memorial Baptist Church 3725 Beatties Ford Road Charlotte, North Carolina 28216 www.reederchurch.org First Baptist Church - West 18U1 UaKlawn Ave. • cnarlotte, NC zszib (704) 372-1075 Office • (704) 372-2309 Fax Dr. Ricky A.
