united methodist, victory baptist, and as very united methodist were all hit. the criminal one of the sunday offerings. church members say they are praying for the people who are responsible. our energy drink safe for kids? maryland lawmakers could ban children from buying them. this comes after a 14-year-old girl died after drinking 48 ounces of monster energy drink in a single day. kevin lewis reports some people think a ban is a bad idea. >> can energy is a moneymaker. of rocks -- variety of products. theseew bill aims to keep bubbly beverages out of teenage hands. >> where does it stop? >> put off not by fear of lost profit, but added regulation. >> it is not my responsibility to police who buys a coca cola or a monster energy drink. >> in december 2011, a 14-year-old of hagerstown died from cardiac arrhythmia hours cans drinking 2 24-ounce of monster energy. 480 milligrams of caffeine. that is the equivalent of about five cups of coffee or 14 cans of cola. despite labels reading not recommended for children, teens won their independence. >> it should be th

so, he chose the oakwood united methodist church as his first target, possibly because his ex-wife was> he was experimenting. he was trying to get different things to work, different initiators for the device, different triggering systems. >> the forensic evidence shows that white placed the pipe bomb in a green cooler, not caring who would pick it up. church member brian plawer was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. in the first assembly of god church bombing, white used a stronger bomb, since this was his primary target. he placed the bomb on top of an outdoor air conditioner. this one had a timer designed to explode during the sunday service. 33 people were injured. in october of 1998, a grand jury concluded richard white built both bombs and murdered brian plawer. the forensic evidence left no doubt. >> these investigations did not result in the prosecution. it was closure for the victim's family. >> it doesn't make the hurt less. you know, there's still pain, there's still, you know, anger, there's still hurt and loss and grief that continues and continues and continues.

>> united methodist bishop julius kimball leading a prayer and dispatching leaders.y line up and took their spots. they knelt before the white house gates. prayed for an end of deportations. they prayed in front of the white house singing "amazing grace." d.c. officers moved in preparing to make the officers then they did. they started by taking away the activists' signs then they started slowly handcuffing them one by one. escorting them to the police vans where the clergy members and activists were photographed with a number and loaded into the vans. after one van was filled, they moved on loading activists into the next van. one by one until they were all arrested. 32 of them in all today. there's no direct line causality between getting arrested while you pray in front of the white house and getting a piece of legislation passed. the direct action today at the white house where 32 faith leaders and activists got arrested is moral persuasion. it's supposed to try to change people's hearts and dramatize the importance of this situation. tactic like this today and l

now we have one of the activists arrested at the white house yesterday, a bishop in the united methodisthe joins us. how do you do? >> good morning. >> good morning. tell us, bishop, what happened yesterday. tell us about your arrest and how you got out, what we know about your situation now. >> well, immigrants, faith, and labor leaders joined to protest the deportation of almost 2 million immigrants, causing great suffering among immigrant families, churches, communities, as well. we were there to protest and demand president obama stop the deportations. >> but why were you arrested specifically? >> we were arrested because we prayed. we prayed right in front of the white house. we had signs that demanded the stopping of the deportations. we were warned that we could not have those signs, we could not be in that space. we felt that it was our right and it was our responsibility, even if it were moving into civil disobedience, that we lift our voices on behalf of immigrant families that are suffering on this day, that we demand from president obama what he can do and that is stop the de

they had been members of another united methodist church in nashville for several years, but the distance of going back to that church led them to begin to attend the church closest to their home. their daughter laura and richard and their family were members of the church of the nazarene in nashville. so i don't know that family well. i am not their pastor. kevin who has been much more involved with the family than i have been is their pastor. >> did they ever mention a problem with the son-in-law to you? did you meet with them as a family or counsel possibly just john and marion. >> i did not. my last memory of marion was last sunday morning. she was at our 11:00 service. john has been ill for several months and has been too weak to attend worship, but marion has been a very regular and very active in other ways. in fact she was in worship sunday school on sunday morning and sunday afternoon at a ministries meeting. monday morning before this happened, she was at a women's bible study. she came up to me and said i still intend to get with you. she said about a month or so ago i want to

, the one campaign, church u.s.a., catholic relief services, presbyterian church u.s.a., the united methodist church, and the american jewish world service, among many, many others. of course, we know that hunger and poverty strike families all around the globe, including right here at home, and i believe in the richest country in the world, it is a disgrace for any child to go to bed hungry at night. or go to school hungry in the morning. crop insurance is disaster assistance for farmers who have been hit by a natural disaster. the nutrition title of the farm bill is disaster assistance for families who've been hit by an economic disaster. most families who need food assistance only need it for a few months and the vast majority of people receiving food help are children, the elderly, the disabled, including our disabled veterans. when the house of representatives passed their nutrition bill, they included many provisions that would have seriously hurt americans, like many in michigan who have paid taxes all their lives, lost their job because of no fault of their own, and are mortified that

actually what the methodist wanted in san francisco and it didn't happen because of this considered hardship. what is being built there? i big building over 5,000 square feet. it is a family unit, he says and another one over 1800 square feet. this is in rm 3rd district in working class hill and doesn't have anything like this around. this is like he's trying to get the privilege as other people. there are probably not many bigger than 1800 square feet. they are mostly one bedrooms and studios. he says it's a hardship to build on a corner. this is a similar lot across the street. this one also, there is this open space. i hope you can see it. right out to the street and all the way back through all of those units to look out on an open space even into street. the courtyard itself although it's probably located in a good place, it doesn't really give much exposure if you are looking out over it. if you were in, you can see that the building which is 5 stories high with this narrow space down there the way it's arranged and no setback, it would be required except he got a bulk exception and if you are looking out of those windows, it's not looking at much but right across the st

united states addressed the adherents of a faith. can't imagine the present getting up in addressing the world methodists or even going to rome and addressinghe world's catholics, but he went to cairo and did an address to the muslim world. that in itself was highly unusual. addressing a muslim world and not addressing the citizens of muslim states i think inadvertently conformed to an islamist notion of states being illegitimate, and there's only one truly legitimate state which is the universal muslim state. and that outreach in retrospect has proved less than successful. and you don't see many echoes of it in more recent statements by the president and by his administration. events in the middle east have simply outstripped the ability of just about anybody to formulate a cookie-cutter, one policy fits all situation. you can't. the events have transpired so rapidly and so radically in the middle east, and so differently, whether it be egypt or syria or bahrain. we talked about libya. i would challenge just about anybody to try to come up with a single policy that's going to address all of these. having said that you could, criticized the
