Maryland Church Defiantly Calls Lesbian Assistant Pastor:
EXCERPTS:
Hyattsville (Md.) Mennonite Church confirmed Michelle Burkholder for the pastoral role in a congregational vote July 28. The church council unanimously recommended her for the half-time position, which starts Sept. 1. An alumna of Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Va., Burkholder has a master’s degree in theology and arts from United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities in St. Paul, Minn. She is not currently licensed or credentialed. Her experience in lay leadership at St. Paul Mennonite Fellowship translated into involvement at Hyattsville, where she and her wife, Becky Haas, have attended for about four years. “She’s preached several times, and she’s on the worship committee,” said Cindy Lapp, Hyattsville’s lead pastor. “She’s served at the soup kitchen where we serve and is involved with worship arts.” Burkholder and Haas have been married since February, when Lapp performed the ceremony at the church. Same-sex marriage has been legal in Maryland since Jan. 1. Lapp performed a similar ceremony a few years earlier, which caused Allegheny Mennonite Conference of Mennonite Church USA to review her ministerial credentials. Hyattsville was disciplined by Allegheny in 2005 when delegates found its inclusion of gays and lesbians to be inconsistent with MC USA Membership Guidelines. Hyattsville specifically offered membership to homosexual Christians in committed relationships.
Cynthia Lapp speaks as a group of young Mennonites and ministers, wearing pink, gather to protest outside the Mennonite Church USA’s biannual meeting Thursday, July 2, 2009 in Columbus, Ohio. Lapp, pastor of Hyattsville Mennonite Church in Hyattsville, Md., says her congregation has lost its voting rights within the church for welcoming gays and lesbians, and other congregations have been kicked out altogether.
EXCERPTS:
"Twenty-seven-year-old Katie Hochstedler, who grew up in Kalona, Iowa, declared herself “a young queer Mennonite.”"
"Rev. Cynthia Lapp, pastor of a Mennonite church in Hyattsville, Md., said her congregation lost its voting rights within the denomination for welcoming gay worshippers in 2005. She declined to say whether they might face expulsion."
"Kristin Sampson, 32, leads a youth group at the Hyattsville church with her lesbian partner, 37-year-old Becca Walawender."

MOODY CONTINUES TO EMBRACE CATHOLICISM AS "CHRISTIAN" & AUTHORS OF CONTEMPLATIVE MYSTICISM
"Yet
another Moody Radio show is embracing Roman Catholic teachings.
Unfortunately this may be the worst one yet because a Catholic
theologian promotes Roman Catholic teachings without any push back from
the Moody's host, Melinda Schmidt. The
Catholic guest, Pia de Solenni, was interviewed about The New Feminism. She states: "The priest in Catholic theology, stands in the person of
Christ." She also said, "for Christians we have one right of initiation
for both men and women: that's Baptism, that's how you become a
Christian, whether you are male or female." Melinda's response embraced
the fatal lie of baptismal regeneration.
(See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptismal_regeneration, and http://baptismalregenerationheresy.com/)
She said: "Yes, we all come to Christ the same, men and women, it's the same formula (laughter), it's the same rite as you said to come to Christ." You can listen to the program here.

Moody Radio host Melinda Schmidt also interviewed Father Robert Barron, a Roman Catholic Evangelist, www.wordonfire.org and https://www.youtube.com/user/wordonfirevideo, whom Cardinal George calls "one of the [R.C.] Church's best messengers." The interview is available here.

Melinda Schmidt grew up in Wheaton,
Ill., listening to Moody Radios flagship station, WMBI FM. As a kid, she
was eager to grab the mic of the familys Wallensak tape machine to
record make-believe news broadcasts and imaginary radio shows. Early
tapes have her announcing the arrival of the Beagles—otherwise known as
"the Beatles"—to America. A career in broadcasting appears to have been
inevitable! Melinda is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute and holds a
B.S. in Broadcasting-Bible from Calvary Bible College. She has
served with Moody Radio since 1980 in various hosting capacities.
Married with two young adult children, Melinda lives outside Chicago,
loves reading, developing her creative interests and hopes to be a
life-long learner.

Moody Press and Moody Radio
from David Cloud's article:

"In 2011 Moody Press published Prayers for Today: A Yearlong Journey of Contemplative Prayer. It is based on the writings of Catholic mystics such as Thomas Aquinas, Teresa of Avila, Mother Teresa, and Meister Eckhart, theological modernist Harry Fosdick, and other heretics.

In November 2011, Moody Bible Institute’s Midday Connection radio program featured Adele Ahlberg Calhoun as a guest, and Moody host Anita Lustrea recommends Calhoun in her book What Women Tell Me. “Lustrea tells how she met Calhoun during a course called Growing Your Soul
(Calhoun is co-director and founder of the program) and how Calhoun
taught her some of the contemplative ‘spiritual disciplines’ p. 125”
(“Spiritual Disciplines Handbook,” Lighthouse Trails, July 2, 2012).
Calhoun’s Spiritual Disciplines Handbook: Practices That Transform Us
is a primer on contemplative mysticism. Calhoun enthusiastically
recommends Roman Catholic mystics such as Ignatius Loyola, St. Benedict,
Julian of Norwich, John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Richard Rohr,
Henri Nouwen, Thomas Merton, Thomas Keating, David Steindl-Rast, William
Meninger, and M. Basil Pennington. In the Acknowledgement’s page, she
says that “their ideas, voices and examples have shaped my own words and
experience of the disciplines.” Not only did these mystics hold to a
false gospel, which is under the divine curse of Galatians 1, but some
of them were panentheists and universalists."

NSA Working On "Quantum Computer" To Defeat Encryption: If the NSA is successful, data will never be safe from surveillance:
See: http://www.infowars.com/breaking-the-code-nsa-working-on-quantum-computer-to-defeat-encryption/
NSA Unit “TAO” Seeks “Pervasive” Access to Internet:
EXCERPT:
"The German magazine Der Spiegel revealed extraordinary details about the NSA's TAO program December 29, which is tasked with “pervasive” penetration of the Internet and global telephone traffic. This most aggressive division of the U.S. government's National Security Agency directly hacks into computers and telephones and is focused upon foreign governments, perhaps differing from other NSA programs that also harvest the data of American citizens."
Apple Strikes Back at NSA's "Malicious Hackers":
EXCERPT:
"Apple Inc. executives have labeled leadership of the U.S. government's National Security Agency “malicious hackers” and have vowed to fight against reported NSA software hacks of all of Apple's iPhones. NSA documents published by the German magazine Der Spiegel boast that its program DROPOUTJEEP “includes the ability to remotely push/pull files from the device, SMS retrieval, contact list retrieval, voicemail, geolocation, hot mic, camera capture, cell tower location, etc.” "

EXCERPT:
"In a recent New York Times op-ed, Senators Ron Wyden (left, D-Ore.) and Mark Udall (right, D-Colo.) call for an immediate end to the National Security Agency’s (NSA) dragnet collection of the phone records of Americans.

EXCERPT:
Following the revelation that The Department of Health and Human Services has ordered 14 million doses of potassium iodide to be available by no later than the first of February, it is easy to see that the same federal government responsible for silently raising the allowable limits of radiation in the food supply and turning off key radiation counters positioned in the west coast may now silently be preparing for a future Fukushima meltdown."

"An official with the Department of Health and Human Services hung up when asked if the federal government’s purchase of 14 million doses of potassium iodide was linked to the Fukushima crisis."
