Moving forward in faith: Spiritual leaders plan special messages for 9/11 ...

Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel, Chabad Center for Jewish Life: A great darkness has been released in the world on this date ten years ago, a series of coldly planned actions unprecedented in their wanton and random destruction. If we allow this darkness to engulf us, all of those people will continue to suffer, as will we all. But, we don’t have to give in. We have the ability, hard as it may be, to fight back: to build out of the ashes, and to create light out of the darkness. We can choose to add in acts of goodness and kindness, and to do random wanton acts of good in memory of, and counter-balance to, the horrors that have been perpetrated.

Jill Jarvis, Unitarian Fellowship of Lawrence: We have to talk about this. And we don’t very much. So listen: “God” is a powerful force in the world. Whether or not we believe in God – God is still out there operating in the world, for good – and for evil. We can ignore that God, refuse to talk about that God – or we can take responsibility for what that God does in the world. It’s up to us as humans – and this is one conversation we religious liberals may want to rethink opting out of.

Kent Winters-Hazelton, First Presbyterian Church of Lawrence: Here is where we find ourselves challenged by Jesus’ words to pray for those who are our enemies, for those who persecute us. We are called to understand that God’s image lies with those who differ and disagree with us, that they, too, share our courage and our fear, as well as our hopes and dreams. To see our opponents as God’s children requires a humility of admitting that God is only One, that the fullness of the Creator lies beyond our wisdom, experience and comprehension; that we see only in a mirror dimly.

On Sept. 16, 2001, crowds of people streamed into Plymouth Congregational Church looking for answers. It was less than a week since the foundation of our sturdy lives as a nation unaffected by home turf carnage crumbled right along with one of the world’s greatest symbols of free trade and democracy: the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.

Oliver Colville Plymouth MP | Plymouth Buzz

Bedfordshire . An amendment designed to strip non-statutory abortion providers from offering impartial advice and counselling to women considering abortion, opening the door to organisations opposed to abortion being able to be contracted to counsel women on their pregnancy options by the NHS. And you were one of 118 Members who voted for this bill. Compared to the 368 who voted against it. Disgusting. And what is more disgusting, Oliver, is that there was no party line on this vote. You voted with your conscience.

What does pro-choice mean to you, Oliver? Why should women be told what to do with their bodies, and more importantly, with their babies? If women want to have an abortion, it is their right to be able to have an abortion, is it not? Abortion should not, in any case, be used as a form of birth control or contraception. But you appear not to understand that no woman goes into an abortion thoughtlessly, or without considering the consequences and the effects. Diane Abbott put it best – “The proposer of this amendment assumes that thousands of women don’t know what they’re doing.” They do. At least, I am positive they know a lot more about their own bodies, their own actions and their own emotions than you do, Oliver.

You represent a wonderful, lively city with a lot of great things happening, and a lot of great people to come out of it. A wonderful city full of history, vibrancy and a great atmosphere. Yet, you don’t seem to care about the majority of this city’s opinions, do you? In fact, you have never consulted your constituents on their opinions at all. You rarely respond to emails and letters sent not just by me, but by my mother, and when you do, they are constant attacks on the previous Labour government. I find this pathetic, that you make digs at another political party instead of answering a direct question asked by one of your constituents. My political views should not come into our correspondence when I write to you as a constituent. You are supposed to represent me.
