...July 15 forum sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign, a gay political group, moderator Sam Donaldson of ABC grilled Senator John Kerry, who is favored over Dean by many in the Democratic Party establishment, on why he supports allowing gay couples all the rights that married straight couples enjoy except the right to be called married. Kerry waded in, invoking history and religion to argue that marriage is viewed by "the body of America ... as a contract between a man and a woman." Boos and hisses. Dean, who shares the exact same position, avoided the question by joking with Donaldson...
...officials quickly arranged the interview with Time, conducted in a quilted tent pitched in the desert outside Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte, 500 km east of Tripoli, to emphasize the country's desire to settle the Lockerbie matter once and for all. Speaking in a soft monotone, without emotion except for an occasional smirk, Gaddafi described a new world order in which the U.S. and Libya were natural allies in the war against Islamic extremism. He said Libya would be a much better friend than a certain oil-rich Arab monarchy - an obvious reference to Saudi Arabia - that encourages religious...
...further instructions on when and where to gather and when to leave. "I couldn't break the tradition." Inexplicable mobs, or flash mobs, as they've also been dubbed, have become the social trend of the summer. Echoing back to '60s-era "happenings" or '70s-era Situationist art projects - except shorter and with even less purpose - these pseudo-spontaneous gatherings began in June in New York City, and spread quickly across America before making their way to Europe (Rome, to be precise) on July 24. The mobs were the idea of Bill, a twenty-something New Yorker who says only...
...going to change. The pity is we tried to say this and those on the other side said nothing will happen. The truth is many of them believe nothing will happen. They have made a truly tragic miscalculation and there really isn't anything we can do about it except to recognize the reality of the situation. One perspective we might have is that living in the Episcopal church for the last 25 years has been a theologically abusive life that many of us had endured. The liberal agenda that questioned the authority of scripture, questioned the uniqueness of Jesus...
...Anderson: We have to prove we can fund ourselves. That's not a problem. We have to certainly prove our theological orthodoxy. There's no question of that. There's really no impediment. Except there is already a province of the United States and of Canada. In the Anglican world, traditionally every country can have its own franchise, its own identity and have as its leader the highest archbishop, called the primate. We do not want to leave the church. We are looking for a new province because in this case the United States and Canada have done such irresponsible...
