if surfer they're looking a lot of people do not understand the scriptures or even reverence the scriptures today as we did not find three hundred years ago north and so i know you're a working position but the scriptural position for a woman according to titus two and first amendment to was to be a keeper at home to take care of her husband and her children let's bring this back to the original discussion of sports and you know it so you say your argument is that women should not be playing sports in the first place. and there are other reasons you. said they are an exercise. exercise would not be wrong in the privacy of their home or in a place where they're dressed and decently and that's another problem i have all other sports but also tells us that women should be modest some of the dress that should be there or in their actions in much of the apparel i mean there's cheerleaders in the way the cheerleaders for us are indecent by god's standards i believe in the idea of a woman well around playing basketball and doing this to be a stand in for the duel of the sports teams it's induced t

let me read you a part of the scripture. xromans 12:1,2. your responsibility, as a servant, to be not conform to of this world, but be transferred by the renewing of your minds. that you may provide what is good and acceptable and perfect to god. in other words, what you are doing today would set the record straight for san francisco workers. you are also doing something that will help pay for this, by bringing more business to san francisco, as well as the america's cup. these things that we are doing today will benefit san francisco tomorrow. supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker please. >> greetings of peace. i mam the imam of the san francisco muslim society. i want to read to you two versus from a wholly koran. -- holy koran. this is a from chapter 34 and 35. chapter 34 reminds us on the day of judgment we shall stand and be asked about agreements or covenants that were not filled or honored. 35 moves to talk about the good that comes from using the dry measure to measure grains properly, and urges us to use scales of balance with

that is contrary to the scriptures. >> so that's immoral? osition to take, in your view? >> it's an immoral choice, yes, and i want to ask members of congress and the senate who are people are faith to defend that on the basis of their faith. and they really can't do that. you know, i want to ask, is every item of military spending, every line item, more important thanes 10.4 malaria vet nets they're about to cut that protect kids from dying from malaria. they won't stand up and say i won't cut it. it's time to look at military spendingance, i won't call defense spending. it's a military interest group, like the corporation. so, martin, i would say this. you just say the world's watching. all eyes are on washington. true, the markets are watching. the democrats, republicans are watching, to see who's up, who's down, who's the speaker next time, who wins the election. we're saying, god is watching this, too. god is watching this debate, and what god is looking for is how we're treating the poorest and most vulnerable. >> reverend jim wallace,

another thing that comes to mind is in the scriptures, it says when you give something, do not get it grudgingly. they do not want it if you are giving it grudgingly. did it with love. so she gave it with love. when you do something, do it with love. i was on my way here, listening to a song called "stepping in the name oof love -- of love" by r. kelly. he says if they ask why you did it, say you did it for love. i think that is why she did it. [applause] >> i am also one of the great- grandchildren of miss was sparked -- miss westbrook. i am very thankful, also, in light of the contribution you have blessed my grandmother with. she is very happy for this project here when you were about 97% finished, and you allow me to come video tape these things for her, she was really happy at what she had seen, and i wanted to thank you for that. anything we can do to put a smile on faces of folks who have sacrificed so much on behalf of us, you know, is a good thing. for those of us, you know, who are in member growing up, who have to look out for me while grandma was dealing in some of these m

strategy for the church is what is laid out in scripture if we just look at the record of the early church and hold the because jesus before he left he told us what to do go into all the world and preach the gospel that's what we do but behind that in terms whole do we then do that how do we communicate the message we look at the record of what the apostles and the early church did and really the best marketing strategy because they were all in individual lives that's what much as a we ought to represent jesus christ as it is so we're talking about god as a god of love we must therefore show love you know walking the walk talk in people we talk about god is peace peace you know we interact with people and what we do with a peaceful nature god is merciful must demonstrate that god is righteous god is holy you must demonstrate holiness in the law you know be on you know if. that's exactly right ok but i think it's very interesting here is that you know we've had the people talk about a christian lifestyle and and he actually cast a lot of money in here again looking at all of these christian

the scriptures are very real. off the books and tax cuts for the wealthy and runaway spending, and not about the poor. the faith community is saying how you treat the poorest and most vulnerable is a biblical issue and a theological matter, and we are saying to those of faith, listen to your pastors and your here. we could exempt -- we are saying you must exempt the most vulnerable. there's a military industrial complex and corporate america, and there is all kinds of money we are not going after because they have lobbyist. our job is to look out for the poor. >> that is ideal what you are describing. a lot of people would say, in the real world, we can't make the budget a moral document because something has got to give. do you not agree with that? because there are some realities, quite, frankly of our finances in the country. >> yeah, but the reality is who is going to sacrifice the most is who has the most powerful interest backing them. we are for fiscal health and financial responsibility. a deficit is a mor

maybe they will not forget us sheep, as the holy scriptures put it. maybe destiny awaits us. >> for the moment, he has a case of telephone frustration -- pilszcz has a case of telephone frustration. but then we get a tip. it is possible to make a cell phone call here. >> we have to go outside the village, climbed the hill to the cemetery. there is reception there, for sure. >> that is true. if i want to make a call, i take my cell phone and a camel to the cemetery -- and a candle to the cemetery. i light the candle on my husband's grave and i talk to my sister. no other choice. >> and that is where we find a lot of the vultures, talking on the phone in the cemetery, in groups, in front of graves. here, the reception is good. so communication goes on in pilszcz. >> it is a funny thing. it on the radio, they poke fun at our town because we get reception only in the cemetery. it is funny, but it is reality. in the 21st century, a whole village cannot telephone anywhere except the cemetery. it is kind of sick. >> this person has come to make a few urgent c

many different situations. >> we've been given a glimpse here and how the church as an institution basis, how it bases itself on scripturethese four examples in the book. when we come back, we will talk a little bit about the fourth one on religious liberties. stay with us. 24,000 children... every day. they die for reasons we can prevent. like not getting enough food or medicine... or clean, safe water to drink. but we are gaining ground. a generation ago, twice as many children were dying. still...24,000? every day? i believe... i believe... i believe... i believe... i believe... believe... i believe that number should be zero. believe in zero. >> welcome back to mosaic. we are talking with judge john newnan about his new book, the church that can and cannot change. we have outlined that you had four examples over the centuries of how the church has responded very at not so much change by blueprint or from high and low but kind of moving along. through this change of movement, the fourth. of your book -- >> religious freedom. that has had a long and not always happy history in the church. of course, was the first three

world is ever-changing and people are committing suicide in making decisions that are contrary to the scriptures. but job upheld the heavenly kingdom. he always looked a top for his answers and not below so i wanted to write the story, "job," a man for his time come in for our time, a man for all time. that the story should not just lay dormant in the old testament that we need need to resurrect it today because we don't need to internalize. we don't need to intellectualize, we don't need to politicize another person suffering a tissue take away from the essence of that person suffering. so if we embrace suffering and look at the beauty that is within it, we then can get a different perspective of how god is in control of all things. [applause] >> it looks like we could have church and in here too today, right? john baxter taylor craig is a name that may not be common to many people but when he died in 1908, at the age of 26 "the new york times" called him the world's greatest runner. tell us why so many of us have never heard of him. >> i have actually given that quite a bit of thought and i be

bonheoffer adopts that and says this is to from the church to the world and takes the passages in scripture in which jesus is the figure that takes you out into the world. it was approved by the communism authorities, and then another sample, i won't do many, but shows the variety, one of the great co-editors of the 16-volume series, this is bonheoffer in south africa. the son was a young leader in a movement that helps bring down the regime. they were reading this because they were running from him, how you outlast regimes, and it had enormous impact in that way. the hardest thing i think was to figure germany itself. first of all, the conventional historic lutherans had a real problem with him because luther wrote that every soldier is subject to higher powers, and if you resist them, you are condemned. obviously bonheoffer resisted the powers and ready to kill the head man. what are you going to do with him? his own parrish was not allowed to use his name as a memorial. the closer you got to that -- the east germans took to it right away because he was upsetting the things they were afte
