  • Though General Election Focused on Economy, Religion-Related Storylines Were a Key Element in the Campaign
    How the News Media Covered Religion in the General Election Obama Gets Most Coverage, Much of It on False Rumor He Is a Muslim Nov. 20, 2008 Religion played a much more significant role in the media coverage of President-elect Barack Obama than it did in the press treatment of Republican nominee John McCain during the 2008 presidential campaign, but much of the coverage related to false yet persistent rumors that Obama is a Muslim. Meanwhile, there was little attempt by the news media during the campaign to comprehensively examine the role of faith in the political values and policies of the candidates, save for those of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. And when religion-focused campaign stories were covered by the mainstream press, often the context was negative, controversial or focused on a perceived political problem. In all, religion was a significant but not overriding storyline in the media coverage of the 2008 campaign. But in a campaign in which an Obama victory would give the U.S. its first black president, religion received as much coverage in the media as race. These are some of the findings of a new study of the coverage of religion in the campaign conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism and Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. The study examined religion-focused election coverage in 48 different news outlets between June 1 and Oct. 15, 2008. 1 The “culture war” issues that have been prominent in past elections, such as abortion and gay marriage, received minimal attention in 2008.

Bullets whizzed into Powell’s Barber Shop on West 63rd Street as patrons scrambled to hide behind chairs. Sias, 38, a father of five with no gang ties, was struck in the arm and died later at a nearby hospital. Another cus- tomer was wounded in the leg. A federal racketeering indict- ment made public Friday alleged Sias’ May 2016 slaying was one of 10 killings carried out by a South Side street gang faction during a three-year reign of terror in the Englewood community that tar- geted rivals and innocent victims. The 25-page indictment — first reported by the Chicago Tribune — charges four reputed members of the Goonie Boss faction of the Gangster Disciples with racket- eering conspiracy and alleges six attempted murders, two assaults and other violence in addition to the killings — all in or near Englewood from 2014 to 2016.

  • Lenten Worship Focus: Luther's Small Catechism – “With Awe and Love”
    Grace Lutheran Church, ELCA February/March 2017 1245 6th Ave. W., Hendersonville NC 28739 Gracehendersonville.com / [email protected] / 828-693- 4890 Lenten Worship Focus: Luther’s Small Catechism – “With Awe and Love” Continuing our observation of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, our Wednesday evening services will examine Martin Luther’s “Small Catechism.” This teaching tool was written for parents to use for teaching the basics of the Christian faith to their children. Luther intended for the home to be the first place the faith was shared and taught. Lutheran churches continue to use the Small Catechism as a core resource in confirmation ministry. Here is the weekday Lenten worship schedule for Grace. Unless otherwise noted, the Wednesday services all begin at 6 p.m. following a light supper served from 4:45 to 5:30 p.m. March 1 - Ash Wednesday: Worship with Communion and imposition of ashes. Services begin at 12:15 p.m. & 7 p.m. (No meal.) March 8 - Ten Commandments: In Exodus, God gives Moses the Law so the people of Israel would know how to fulfill their part of God's covenant as God's people. March 15 - Creed: How do we express belief? How do we share our faith? The Creed, crafted in the early days of the church, gives us a simple but firm foundation for sharing and professing. March 22 - Lord's Prayer: Lent and Lenten worship call us to repent, to make a new beginning. One of the best ways to begin again with God is through conversation, also known as prayer.
