After Judas had gone, Jesus said: Now the Son of
Man will be given glory, and he will bring glory to God. Then, after God is
given glory because of him, God will bring glory to him, and God will do it very
soon. My children, I will be with you for a little while longer. Then you will
look for me, but you won't find me. I tell you just as I told the people, “You
cannot go where I am going.” But I am giving you a new command. You must love
each other, just as I have loved you. If you love each other, everyone will know
that you are my disciples.
– John 13:31-35

GOVERNOR LAUDS NEW HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN AT GARY
METHODIST
Legislation that will provide low-cost health
coverage for uninsured Indiana residents will benefit hospitals and poor
Northwest Indiana residents, Gov. Mitch Daniels told a gathering of The
Methodist Hospitals doctors and administrators Tuesday, according to The
Post-Tribune. Methodist would be among hospitals that will see many patients
covered by the Healthy Indiana Plan created during the legislative session that
ended Sunday. Funded by a 44¢ per-pack cigarette tax, Health Indiana will
provide medical coverage for needy families – some 132,000 adults – with incomes
of up to 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines. Additionally, some cigarette
tax revenue will go toward reimbursing doctors who care for the uninsured and
immunizations for children. “Doctors will have more reimbursements and more
paying customers,” under the plan, Daniels said. “We need to have a real good
outreach effort to get people enrolled.” Methodist CEO Ed Charbonneau said
hospitals that treat large numbers of uninsured patients have struggled
financially, and noted that Daniels launched his campaign to remedy the problem
at Northlake Methodist Hospital in November, a plan also was supported by
Indiana United Methodist Bishop Mike Coyner. Charbonneau and Daniels both lauded
state Rep. Charlie Brown of Gary, a longtime proponent of boosting the cigarette
tax, and state Sen. Earline Rogers of Gary for helping push the measure through
the legislature. – Howey Political Report
SLOTS BILL PASSES GENERAL ASSEMBLY, DANIELS SAYS
HE WILL SIGN IT
Lawmakers approved a proposal late Sunday to allow
slot machines at Indiana’s two horse race tracks – a move that would funnel more
than $500 million toward property tax relief for homeowners, according to the
Anderson Herald-Bulletin. It would be Indiana’s biggest expansion of gambling
since the Legislature authorized riverboat casinos in 1993, but lawmakers also
approved another bill to crack down on illegal gambling found elsewhere. That
proposal would step up enforcement against illegal video gambling machines
sometimes found in back rooms of bars, gas stations, truck stops and other
locations. Some lawmakers say the two bills together could result in an overall
decrease in gambling – something Gov. Mitch Daniels has said he supports.
This is not the way the United Methodist-supported
Indiana Coalition Against Legalized Gambling sees the situation. “It’s just a
slide into further and further dependency upon gambling,” the Rev. Lorin Clemenz,
coordinator of ICALG and retired NIC UM pastor, told The Indianapolis Star.
Under the slots bill, the pari-mutuel race tracks
in Anderson and Shelbyville could each pay a $250 million licensing fee to
install up to 2,000 slot machines. The legislation would impose a graduated slot
machine receipts each year, 30 percent on the second $100 million and a 35
percent tax on revenues exceeding that amount. Both the fees and the tax money
would be directed to property tax relief.
According to the Howey Political Report, Daniels
called the slots bill, “the best option available and I will sign it.” He said
he had three conditions for a slots bill to pass: that every cent be returned to
taxpayers, that there be a net reduction in gambling statewide, and that the
state gets “reasonable value” for the 2,000 slot machines that will be placed at
horse tracks in Anderson and Shelbyville. “Given the incredible priority of
property tax relief, to get us past the trending impact, this was the best
available option,” Daniels said.
Since his campaign, Daniels has said publicly that
he opposed the expansion of legalized gambling in Indiana. Six church
executives, including Bishop Coyner, signed a letter last week asking the
Governor to veto the bill. Parts of this story are from The Howey Political
Report.
BLOOMINGTON ASKS ASSISTANCE TO HELP POPLAR GROVE
PASTOR
Jonie Nester, a pastor serving Poplar Grove UMC in
Morgan County, recently lost her home to a fire. To assist her, Bloomington
District Superintendent Bob Ostermeier issued a plea for all Bloomington
District churches to donate $100. The plea was taken a step further with the
churches and clergy of the South Indiana Conference given the opportunity to
donate to the Nesters. As of May 1, the Bloomington District office has received
$5,625. The first check was issued to the Nesters last week to aid in getting a
septic permit and soil sample so that a septic system can be installed. Jim and
Martha Dawson of Arlington UMC in Bloomington donated an RV for the Nesters to
use during the month of May. The Bloomington District extends its thanks to the
following churches and clergy who have donated to the Nesters: Bishop Mike
Coyner, Rita Lung, Rev. Eldon Smith, Rev. Jan Akers DuBois, Beth Myers, Rev.
Harold Underwood, New Albany District, Ames Chapel, Bedford First, Bedford
Grace, Bloomington Arlington, Bloomington First, Bloomington St. Mark’s, Bonds
Chapel and Wesley Chapel, Freedom, Lawrence in Indianapolis, Jasonville, Jacob’s
Chapel in New Albany, Martinsville First, Medora, Millgrove, Mooresville First,
Morgantown, Mt. Olive, St. James in Jeffersonville, St. Mark's in Carmel, and
West Baden. Money is still being recived by the District Office. Send
contributions to the Bloomington District UMC, 1520 South Liberty Drive,
Bloomington, IN 47403-5167. For more information, call 800-919-8161 or
812-339-1445. Thank you.
CHURCH WORLD SERVICE NEEDS YOUR HELP IN COMPLETING
HEALTH KITS
During the year the Indiana/Kentucky office of
Church World Service, located in the same building as the Indiana Area office,
coordinates pledges for the items within various kits for partners in need.
Their goal this year is to assemble 3,000 Health Kits. However, there is a
shortfall of pledges for some items to reach this goal. Church World Service
needs your assistance in completing the health kits. The most critical need now
is for 400 hand towels and 400 metal nail files (or nail clippers with file
attached). This would be an excellent spring project for men’s, women’s, youth,
or mission groups in your congregation, but the deadline is tight! Hurry — these
items are needed before Tuesday, May 15. To pledge a certain number of one or
both of these items, contact Gretchen Corn, CWS Program Assistant, at
317-923-2938 or toll-free 888-297-2767 or by e-mail at
gcorn@churchworldservice.org.
She’ll provide details and shipping or delivery information.

JUDICIAL COUNCIL HEARS ABOUT VIOLENCE IN
PHILIPPINES
MANILA, Philippines – Human rights violations and
violence against both Filipinos and Westerners remain key problems facing the
Philippines, a United Methodist bishop told members of the denomination’s
“supreme court.”
“We need justice in the Philippines,” said Bishop
Solito K. Toquero, who leads The United Methodist Church’s Manila Area. “Those
who speak out against the government and who work for the poor are being
killed.”
Toquero spoke to eight members of the Judicial
Council who were attending the court’s April 25-28 meeting, its first outside
American soil.
Using Micah 6:8 as his devotional text, Toquero
said leaders of The United Methodist Church and other churches in the
Philippines are seeking to do God’s will by advocating for justice, calling
attention to injustice, poverty and violence, and visiting with prisoners –
“even political detainees, rebels and Muslim detainees to minister to them.”
Toquero also mentioned the recent death of Peace
Corps volunteer and freelance journalist Julia Campbell of Fairfax, Va., who was
killed while visiting the country’s famous rice terraces, a popular tourist
destination.
“We have met with a group of generals to share our
concerns and we hope that our president (Gloria Macapagal Arroyo) will do
something about the growing militarization. We also hope that the United States
will add its pressure on the (Arroyo) government,” Toquero said. –UMNS
KANSAS CITY NEW TESTAMENT PROFESSOR MOVES TO BRITE
IN TEXAS
At the end of this semester, Saint Paul School of
Theology in Kansas City, Mo., will say goodbye to Dr. Warren Carter, Lindsey P.
Pherigo Professor of New Testament. Carter joined the faculty of Saint Paul
School of Theology in 1990. Since that time he has developed a distinguished
career as a preeminent New Testament scholar.
Carter has accepted an invitation to join the
faculty at Brite Divinity School as Professor of New Testament. Brite Divinity
School is affiliated with Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. It is
a seminary of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) with a significant
number of United Methodist students. In addition to teaching Master level
students preparing for ministry, he will also teach Ph.D. students in Brite’s
program in Biblical Interpretation. Carter will officially begin his teaching
duties in fall 2007.
WOMEN SEEK HEALTH, MENTAL CARE FOR EVERY CHILD IN
U.S.
Every child in the United States, regardless of
immigration status or family income, should have access to comprehensive health
and mental health care, according to The United Methodist Church’s women’s
organization. To help achieve that goal, the Women’s Division of the United
Methodist Board of Global Ministries is joining the “Healthy Child Campaign:
Covering All Children in 2007,” sponsored by the Children’s Defense Fund. The
campaign wants to consolidate children’s health coverage under Medicaid and the
State Children’s Health Insurance Program into a single federal program that
guarantees all medically necessary services for children. – UMNS
UMCOR SENDS $4.7 MILLION TO SRI LANKANS FOR
TSUNAMI RELIEF
The United Methodist Committee on Relief is sending
an additional $4.7 million in aid to economically vulnerable Sri Lankans still
finding their footing after the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean. The relief
agency's board of directors approved the new money for the Sri Lanka project
April 24 during its meeting in Stamford, Conn. Directors also voted to provide
aid to some 650 vulnerable families returning home to Kabul and Wardak in
Afghanistan. – UMNS
CHURCH CAMPAIGN SENDS PHONE CARDS TO SOLDIERS
A United Methodist church more than 7,000 miles
from the Middle East has shortened the distance for U.S. soldiers there to call
home and speak with loved ones in the United States.
St. Timothy on the North Shore United Methodist
Church of Mandeville, La., collected $10,700 during a church-wide campaign in
March that will purchase 2,140 phone cards – almost triple its original goal.
Meanwhile, the children of the church made hundreds of greeting cards to send to
United Methodist military chaplains for distribution to service members, along
with the phone cards.
The United Methodist Endorsing Agency of the Board
of Higher Education and Ministry started the phone card campaign on Veterans Day
2003 to pay for long-distance telephone minutes to help military families stay
in touch with each other. Since 2003, more than 10 million minutes worth of
phone cards have been sent to United Methodist chaplains to give any soldier in
need of a kind word from home.
For more information on the phone card campaign,
contact the United Methodist Endorsing Agency, Board of Higher Education and
Ministry, P.O. Box 340007, Nashville, TN 37203-0007 or visit
www.gbhem.org/chaplains. The agency
also can be reached at umea@gbhem.org or
615-340-7411.
MISSION AGENCY HEAD WANTS TO ESTABLISH OFFICES
BEYOND U.S.
Recognizing the need for “a greater visible
reality” of the global nature of The United Methodist Church, the head of its
mission agency wants to establish offices in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The
Rev. R. Randy Day, chief executive of the United Methodist General Board of
Global Ministries, made the proposal during his address at the board’s April
23-26 spring meeting in Stamford, Conn. The Board of Global Ministries is based
in New York City. – UMNS
RECORD-SETTING DAY FOR NOTHING BUT NETS CAMPAIGN
It was a record-setting day for Nothing But Nets,
and a day of hope for many children in Africa, where malaria kills one child
every 30 seconds. The Nothing But Nets campaign, which is raising money to send
insecticide-treated nets for African children to sleep under, kicked off a
grassroots awareness effort April 25 in Miami on the same day that the TV show
“American Idol” raised millions of dollars to further the cause. The Miami
events kicked off a 12-city arena tour encouraging youth and faith leaders to
get involved. A special “Idol Gives Back” edition of the top-rated “American
Idol” raised more than $50 million, to be divided among eight charities
including Nothing But Nets. – UMNS
STUDY SHOWS SMOKING DURING PREGNANCY COMMON
While pregnancy may be considered an effective
motivator for smoking cessation, results of a new study by researchers at the
Mailman School of Public Health indicate that pregnant U.S. women commonly
smoke, placing themselves and their unborn children at risk for health and
developmental complications. The research also finds a significant association
between cigarette use, nicotine dependence and the presence of mental disorders
among pregnant women. The data show that almost 22 percent of these women smoked
cigarettes and more than 10 percent were nicotine dependent. The results also
indicate that approximately 30 percent of pregnant women who used cigarettes had
a mental disorder, with personality disorders, major depressive disorder and
specific phobia among the most common psychological ailments. Mental disorders
were even more common among pregnant women with nicotine dependence, affecting
more than 57 percent. In terms of specific disorders, the strongest associations
with nicotine dependence were seen for prolonged depression, panic disorder and
major depressive disorder. Source: ScienceDaily Magazine, April 25, 2007.

in a fallen world. Use us as You will; fill us with Your Holy Spirit power for

THE HOAX

Production Company: Miramax Films

Director: Lasse Hallström

Cast: Richard Gere, Alfred Molina, Marcia Gay
Harden, Julie Delpy, Hope Davis
-
Rating: Rated R for language
By Gregg Tubbs
(UMC.org) – Sir Walter Scott wrote, “Oh what a
tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!” Although we have all
told lies – from little white lies to the bigger, darker variety – few of us can
match the audaciousness or impact of Clifford Irving. The Hoax tells the
amazing, true story of Irving’s audacious lie – that he was co-authoring Howard
Hughes’ autobiography – and with wit and irony, shows how the web of lies grew
into a vast net that snared both the lowly and the powerful. Along the way, this
hoax captured the imagination of the world, and very possibly had a hand in the
downfall of a president. The Hoax vividly illustrates why Jesus called Satan
“the father of lies,” since once you’re caught in a web of lies, you can have a
devil of a time getting free! For the entire review, log on to
