they have lost eight churches. for the working-class, church was the key place to come together to get a sense of purpose. when those things go away, that results in all the that outcomes suicides, drugs, out of wedlock births. book that includes donald trump, but not about donald trump. guest: it is about how donald the nomination. he set up the line make america great again by saying the american dream is dead. the american dream is not dead in my own experience. we live in a robust, bustling area. no a lot of parts of the country, that resonated. that is what got me going down this line. why are there so many places people think the american dream is that? host: you wrote, with all of these swings, donald trump swung working-class families enough to win the white house. donald trump underperformed earlier republicans in the wealthier parts of america. hillary clinton showed her true colors when she declared this results in some sort of victory. if you look at a map of the u.s., there is all that read in coast, y

the first such church to be crated here in appomattox county was galilee baptist church. one of the founding members of that church was john robinson. he was the first treasurer and a trustee of the church. initially our understanding is in the months that followed the surrender, the congregation would form and what was known as an arbor church, simply meeting outside under the trees. by 1867, the congregation had been able to form enough money and resources to actually build a log church that exists about a mile to the west of the courthouse. about 50 years later in 1916, a new church would be built on the same groundss. that is the church still there more than 100 years later. john robinson is not only a homeowner and cofounder of a church, but he's also a businessman. he is a shoe cobbler and apparently a pretty good one because he ran a business here for more than 50 years. john robinson didn't pass away until 1933, but after raising of a very large family, a successful business, and some of the robinson family members are buried in the backyard of the kelley/robinson

there is hardly a church more powerful in europe than the greek orthodox church it is one of the richest institutions in the country and religion is embedded in the constitution but a landmark agreement is seeking to remove the church as a pillar of greek society priests are to be cut from the government payroll well it's a reform that would free up two hundred million euros per year for the state but priests like constantine latest see it as a threat to their livelihoods. konstantinos michel a disc of the divine service in his church in athens. when he holds mass he forgets the argument about who should pay his salary that's raging outside the state wants to find michelle a day as the church is supposed to pay most of his salary in the future for the highly religious greeks that's almost a revolution. but since the debate is totally superfluous. it's clear that the church will never die because it is christ himself even in centuries to come whatever happens and when we're all gone the church will still exist and why do we have to talk about this now years with the way we work is not goi

, . historic shift within the catholic church,.start with a disturbing story from nicaragua. in march 1998, zoilamerica 0rtega murillo publicly accused her stepfather, daniel 0rtega of having sexually abused her since she was a child. president 0rtega has always denied the accusations. zoilamerica spoke to us. translation: for 12 years, i lived with physical sexual abuse. then another eight yea rs sexual abuse. then another eight years with sexual harassment. all i wa nted years with sexual harassment. all i wanted was to make it stop, once and for all. the abuse began between 1977 and 78. when i wasn't even ten yea rs 1977 and 78. when i wasn't even ten years old. at the time, daniel 0rtega was one of the main leaders. the guerrillas fighting the nicaraguan dictator. we just saw him as my mother's boyfriend. it began with him touching me and invading my proven sea as a little girl. i remember my reaction, to protect myself, was always to stay quite still and pretend to be asleep. i quickly learned that i could not stop him. in1979

here in christ's church. now, the authorities were urging residents of this city to stay indoors as of this morning as an extra security precaution. they've extended that to mosques across the country, urging them to stay closed for fear they could be targeted as well, as a first time visitor to this city, it is a relatively small city, a population under 400,000. the streets seem to be fairly quiet and it is eerie considering some of the eyewitness accounts of some of them seeing the actual gunman in the street with his weapons. it is eerie to imagine him in the streets of the city operating so openly and potentially taking so many lives. many more wounded, some of them fighting for their lives in christ's church hospital. in the minutes and hours after the attack first took place, the new zealand police were issuing messages to the community tryings to protect people and assure them they are working on trying to catch any of the suspected terrorists behind this attack. take a listen. >> as a muslim and as a

about this talk church in my life. i will explain i am here almost quite literally because of something that happened in this church on that bridge. but i will get to that. i would not want anyone to forget that it was a young man who was shot and beaten following a nonviolent protest while trying to protect his grandfather.s the young man spent days cleaning to his life in the only hospital that would treat a young black man, good samaritan hospital, and he died 54 years ago this past tuesday. remember this date, february 4 26, 1964. i want to say to the pastor of this church, extended to me the hand of friendship and kindness and asked me to give a sermon. his kindness to me makes me have to begin by saying i want to make sure that i will be speaking from the bible. and 20. chapters 19 i will make it plain, my brother.
