Baptists expel churches with homosexual leaders

MACON, Ga. Georgia's Southern Baptists voted over­ whelmingly Tuesday to expel two churches that let homosexuals serve as leaders and allowed a gay wedding. The ouster of Oakhurst Baptist of Decatur and Virginia Highland Baptist of Atlanta marked the first lime in the 177-year history of the Georgia Baptist Convention that it has taken such action. The convention changed its constitu­ tion last year to exclude congregations that “affirm, approve or endorse homosexual behavior. It’s a heartbreaking thing to be put in a situation where you have to make a deci­ sion like this," said the Rev. Gerald Harris, president of the Georgia Baptist Convention. “We just decided to draw the line.”

Taliban executes woman

KABUL, Afghanistan In a stadium packed with thousands of onlookers, a woman dressed in an all-envelop­ ing burqa was shot to death Tuesday in the first public execution of a woman since Afghanistan's Taliban rulers took control three years ago. The woman, who was identified only as Zareena, a mother of seven children, was convicted of beating her husband to death with a steel hammer as he slept. A Taliban soldier said the reason for the slaying two years ago was a “family dispute." A young Taliban sol­ dier, his head wrapped in the traditional tur­ ban, stood behind her and took aim with his Kalashnikov rifle.

T V A na ly s is How will Mulder and Scully evolve?

By MICHAEL VANEGAS Scene Editor

The end. In many minds, the end is just around the corner, in the year 2000. In reality, the end of humanity as most people know it is not in the near future. In Hollywood, though, the end is dif­ ferent. It can be whenever Hollywood executives want it to be. And with the limited schizophrenia that is sure to be rampant come Doc. 31, Hollywood is laying claim to all stories having to do with all things eschatological. With the conclusion of the season opener of “The X-files” airing this past Sunday night, it is clear that Mulder and Scully will be fighting the millennium madness come New Year's. Or is it? The mantra of “The X-Files" has always been, since its creation six years ago, lo doubt what is believed to be I ini'. “Trust no one" was the motto by which Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) lived to make Fridays and Sundays enjoyable for millions of tele­ vision watchers out there, some­ w here. So despite the heavy mythological buildup from the two-part premiere, titled “The Sixth Extinction," in which the end of humanity was once again foreshadowed as a likely possibility for the series climax, one must ques­ tion the value of the teasing images presented. Is this a step toward some kind of millennial explosion? Or is it the first major hint that “The X-files" is in its final season, which practically forces the show's creator, Chris Carter, to find some kind of spectacularly satis­ Photo courtesy of Fox fying climax and resolution to put the Gillian Anderson (left) and David Duchovny star as special agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder in the 1998 summer block­ show to rest for good. buster “The X-Files."
