BUDAPEST, Hungary, Mar. 27 /Christian Newswire/ — In a truly tragic story regarding tainted food poisonings of hundreds of dogs and cats, one should consider that abortion is actually related to this very sad story. According to a previous article, Pet Owners Double Checking Cabinets, the substance that is killing these beloved animals is “aminopterin, a cancer drug that once was used to induce abortions in the United States and is still used to kill rats in some other countries, state Agriculture Commissioner Patrick Hooker said.”
“I find it amazing that the justified outrage against this poisoning incident cannot be also turned toward the continued slaughter of the unborn by abortifacient drugs like RU-486.” So says Phil Magnan, Director for Biblical Family Advocates. “Remarkably this same substance that is killing these pets has been used to kill rats. It was also used to induce abortion in the 50’s and 60’s, but was discontinued because there were the serious side effects of producing very deformed children, when the administration of aminopterin failed to kill the child in the womb, as it was an abortifacient drug.”
BFA hopes that many Americans as well as the many other countries will reconsider the debate about the use of abortifacient drugs. Magnan continued “It would truly be remarkable if the FDA had as much consideration for the unborn as they do for these suffering animals. RU-486 and the many other abortion drugs are nothing more that human pesticides marketed by organizations like Planned Parenthood, who kill millions of tiny humans this way. I am also waiting for animal rights advocacy groups to speak against the poisoning of the animal species called humans. If it is not compassionate to poison an animal, why do we poison pre born humans? Even Jesus Christ said we were of greater value than the animals.”

Lay Group Pleas for Prompt Action and Unity Among Orthodox Groups to Fill ‘Vacuum’ Caused by Episcopal ‘Desertion’
March 27, 2007
– Offers Interim Plan
WASHINGTON, Mar. 26 /Christian Newswire/ — An “urgent plea for immediate, pan-Anglican readiness after the U.S. Episcopal Church’s desertion from Anglicanism last week” was made today by a national organization of orthodox Anglican laypersons. It advocates rapid, multi-group development of “The Anglican Church of the United States of America” as a new province-in-waiting. Announcement would be immediate, with operations following swiftly.
“Faithful Anglican groups with shared interests are needed, such as the Anglican Communion Network and already-defected organizations which have melded shared interests in Common Cause Partners and the Federation of Anglicans in the Americas. At long last their goal of a unified Anglican church in the U.S.A. that is faithful to Christ can become a reality,” Lay Episcopalians for the Anglican Communion (LEAC) said.
“We should create the new unified product now — up and operating as soon as possible, not next year or the year after — in order to stop the hemorrhaging of our Anglican lifeblood. That’s a great challenge and awesome change of pace for church people, but we can do it. We should selflessly engage our can-do American spirit rather than the casual, no-hurry, wait- and-see mode with which we have been all too comfortable. A new cultural dynamic is needed to give actual solutions in saving our debilitated Anglicanism highest corporate priority.
“LEAC has been working on the “province-in-waiting” for several months and will offer its organizational ideas and work product as suggestions for a way forward to a new pan-Anglican church in the United States. It will provide administrative and coordinating help as desired. Our progressing work is benefited greatly by consultation with leading bishops and laypersons, among whom is Bishop John R. Rodgers, retired Episcopal priest who headed the Trinity Episcopal School of Ministry and was a founder of the Anglican Mission in America.
“There is similar work in other quarters. Hopefully it will be accelerated with broader-based teaming. Our only interest is collaborative restoration of Anglicanism here and accomplishing our missionary obligation to advocate interests of the laity in their hopes for restoring and sharing in the protection of a healthy denomination in Christ.
“You can be sure that if the captain of an ocean liner announced that the ship would sink at sea on September 30, there would a great demand that lifeboats and release systems are in order. Already- committed laypersons want the lifeboats in order now to move toward a post-TEC Anglican landscape and bring in other, often confused, even disparate faithful together in a new, safe church,” LEAC explained. “There should be urgent engagement of diverse, cooperative resources, maximizing our common beliefs and working through differences to arrive at an optimal denomination for all.
“There is too much relaxation in the idea that everything is in the hands of the Anglican Communion. Of course that’s true, but the Communion is beset by its own difficulties, diverting its sharp focus from urgent needs in this country. More importantly, the formative task is now ours as tragic losses in our faith cry out for disciplined, sustained action to prepare an operating province-in-waiting. That American work is obviously not the communion’s. We need the new operating church as soon as possible, ready to receive additional faithful groups later when and if the worldwide group invites us in to replace TEC and it seems appropriate to do so, we’ll be ready,” the Washington-based organization said. “We can start very soon with standby commitments from those dioceses, parishes and individuals who are now ready to step forward into a Scripturally reliable new church.”
Announcement now of that readiness “will forestall further Balkanizing of our national orthodox resources and the disastrous flight from the pews experienced in recent years,” LEAC said. Average Sunday attendance at U.S. Episcopal churches has shrunk about fifty per cent since liberalism took firm control nationally in the early 1990s. Only conservative parishes are growing, most of them in at least impaired communion with the international Anglican denomination but awaiting Anglican rebirth in America.
“These conservative parishes will grow even faster once they are freed from the crippling oppression and intimidation of The Episcopal Church,” adds Hudson Barton, who is LEAC’s province-in-waiting coordinator.
LEAC said it is contacting leadership organizations and individuals asking them to share in organizing additional roundtable discussions.
Last week the House of Bishops of the U.S. Episcopal Church (TEC) rejected a proposal by the primates of the worldwide Anglican Communion which might have brought the U.S. church back into active status internationally.
Primates representing more than half of the Anglican Communion’s communicants have declared various levels of impaired relations after consecration of an openly homosexual bishop and refusal to prohibit church recognition of homosexual partnerships. The U.S. church was given until September 30 to reply to a demanding proposal, but several foreign primates have said the action last week served as an answer.
LEAC said there is need for readiness to replace TEC as the national church when the communion disposes of the TEC problem and is open to a new Anglican province.
“That whole process may take years, but most leadership U.S. Anglicans agree that their future is coming into sharp focus very quickly, requiring real- time solutions,” said James Ince, founder and member of the steering committee of the one-year-old LEAC.
“With help from some of the most experienced bishops and laypersons, we have prepared a schematic structure, a collaborative Statement of Anglican Faith, a proposed new constitution and canons and a timetable for introductory operation on All Saints’ Day, November 1, 2007.
“The most critical thing we can do right now to halt the destruction of Anglicanism as a robust denomination in our country is announce authoritatively that there very soon will be a new, phased-in Anglican church, shortly ready to receive immediate membership, with provisions for standby or transitional memberships committed but awaiting a provincial declaration by the Anglican Communion. That can only be done by cooperating, collaborating groups with a powerful, demonstrated sense of commitment and mission in that work,” LEAC said.
LEAC is a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation, a national advocacy organization faithful to the authority of Christian Scripture and the Anglican Communion
Randall Terry Guest Hosts Radio Show on Foreign Policy, Orthodox Islam, Mohammed and Terrorism
March 27, 2007
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Mar. 26 /Christian Newswire/ — For the next two weeks, March 26 through April 6, Randall Terry will guest host the radio show “Outside The Wire.” The live radio show airs weekdays 2-3 PM Eastern Time.
In the last 3 years, Randall Terry returned to college for a second BA; much of his study and research focused on Islam and Mohammed. Terry also began his Arabic studies in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Mt. Scopus Campus), and toured several Muslim nations for research on Islam. He has begun taking graduate courses –focusing on Islam, terrorism, and America’s defense.
Radio listeners will hear Terry expound on a seminar he teaches, “What Would Mohammed Do?” (Copyright, 2006), which unlocks much of the mystery surrounding Islamic culture, law, and the behaviors of Islamic extremists. Terry has debated Muslim leaders on TV and radio, and done extensive interviews around the nation on this topic.
Randall Terry comments, “To understand Islamic culture, law, family – as well as the sub-culture of terror – one must study Mohammed. “What would Mohammed Do?” is the question that provides the answers to questions about daily headlines as well as centuries of Islamic culture and conquest.
“Hostage taking, death threats to those who satirize Mohammed, decapitations, ’suicide bombers,’ dictators, the punishment of Muslims who convert away from Islam, the treatment of women, the lack of freedom of religion and freedom of speech in Islamic nations – all of these hold their roots in what Muslims call ‘The Traditions of the Prophet.’ When we learn Mohammed’s ‘traditions,’ we will understand Islam; only then will the news from Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia become clear.”
