The pulpit: We have had a wayside pulpit since we first moved here. It displays a message to people passing by, on a subject we feel strongly about and is relevant to the times. This page has the latest ones: (On the terrorist attacks in London, July/August 2005) Beating terrorism WORST WAY: Shoot them!

This was the September 04 pulpit message: Terrorism or climate change 625 deaths from terrorst attacks It is in the interests of the major powers to emphasise the first, and downplay the second. We are being manipulated for political gain. Remember those whose deaths did not reach our television screens. |
