    U.S. church groups affirm law on gays’ hospital visits

    June 2, 2010 by Chris Herlinger

    Obama’s April 15 directive to Health And Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sibelius, requires hospitals receiving public funds in the form of Medicaid or Medicare health insurance payments not to deny patient visits “on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.” Nearly all U.S. hospitals receive Medicaid or Medicare health insurance payments for the treatment of patients.This is a move that will be “affirmed by most Americans”, said the Rev. Peg Chemberlin, the president of the National Council of Churches.— … [Read more...]

    NCAA bans eye black messages

    June 2, 2010 by The Presbyterian Outlook

    The NCAA’s Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved a policy April 14 that players cannot place symbols or messages on the black strips under their eyes, which are used to reduce glare from the sun.The association denied that the rule was influenced by Tebow’s Biblical messages.Cameron Schuh, a spokesman for the NCAA, said the panel’s decision confirmed an existing rule “that players are not allowed to have any symbols or messages on their eye black, starting with this coming season.”Other players have used the anti-glare paint for other messages. Reggie Bush, another Heisman winner, put 619, the area code of his native San Diego, on his eye black. … [Read more...]

    Four more years? 20 minutes with Linda Valentine

    June 2, 2010 by The Presbyterian Outlook

    JH: Linda, four years ago, you called me, introduced yourself, told me you were a candidate to be GAC executive director, and asked for my thoughts. I blurted, “Only a crazy person would want that job.” Are you a crazy person?LV: I must be. I have a huge amount of energy for this job. It has been such a privilege to be able to see church … in so many places and its wide array of ministries and – in the process – to see hopeful signs where God is working. All over the church. You weren’t the only one to say I was crazy. So I guess I am.JH: Has it made you crazier?LV: There are times when I think it IS crazy. It’s very, very complex. That’s part of who we are as a church: many voices, many passions, many constituents, many directions. We’re in a time of huge change and turmoil in the world, in the country, and certainly in the church. Keeping centered on why we’re here, why God has called us to this place, trying to discern and follow the will of God, and keeping our eye on Jesus Christ … [Read more...]
