Brad Maxwell THE DAILY GAMECOCK

Society has misinterpreted the Bible’s take on women, said Vanderbilt University professor and New Testament scholar Amy-Jill Levine in a lecture on Jesus THE DAILY GAMECOCK and women on Thursday at Special to the Russell House. Catholics have pushed for a fast process for sainthood. Levine said Jesus’ message was one for both men and women, and that many of the misconceptions originate in society’s interpretation of Beatifi cation scripture. Levine talked about misperceptions concerning Jesus and women, the problem of truth being lost near for pope to history and history being replaced with Hollywood romance. Church reaches key milestone in making “Do the history,” Levine deceased Pope John Paul II newest saint said. “When you preach the Gospel, proclaim a message for possible sainthood just of love, not of hate.” Nicole Winfi eld Th e Associated Press weeks after his April 2, Levine also said women 2005, death, when he waived are mentioned throughout the customary five-year the Bible, but misperceptions VATICAN CITY — Catholic waiting period and allowed occur with interpretation.

MONCKS CORNER — Police Chief Chad Caldwell stood before a crowd of 2,000 mourners Saturday, struggling to sum up the worth of two officers who gave their lives serving this small, tight-knit town. “Nothing in 35 years of police work could prepare me for this terrible occasion,” Caldwell told the crowd, his voice cracking. Big and gregarious with a booming voice, Pfc. Lonnie Wells was a beloved figure in Moncks Corner and a former police offi cer of the year. Cpl. Marcus Stiles was smart, reserved, methodical; a rising star in the department. These men were bound for great things. Then, in a flash of violence, they were gone, gunned down on a sunny Sunday afternoon while investigating a domestic dispute report.
