The body of Christ has a calling in which we easily discover God’s true purpose for the church. We are members of the heavenly calling. Our purpose, in the counsels and plan of God, is contained in this calling. The church is to be in the heavens, seated in Christ in heavenly places, forming the habitation of God our Father. There we are destined to be blessed with every spiritual blessing. We are to be found there, exalted above all principalities, powers, might, and dominion. In the ages to come our Father will show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ (Eph. 1:3, 21, 2:6-7).
“Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus.”
Our calling is heavenly and our citizenship is in heaven (Phil. 3:20). Jesus went away to heaven to prepare a place for us there. In the heavens is the Father’s house. We are the sons destined and predestined to dwell in that house (John 14:1-3). We are those, along with Paul, in possession of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus (Phil. 3:14). We are instructed to always look there, into the heavens. Our thoughts are to be there, as heavenly minded (Col. 3:1-2).
Our Calling: Holy and Blameless in His Presence
The church will be in the presence of the Father. We are closest to Him and we approach the One who dwells in unapproachable light. We are the ones who, being in Christ and united to Him, will look upon the glory on the face of God – that which was forbidden for Moses. This is our calling and the result of our redemption.
All true believers are called according to His purpose – “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.” (Rom. 8:28-30) God’s purpose is for the believer to be conformed into the image of His Son. It does not yet appear what we will be, but we know that when He appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is (I John 3:2). As we have borne the image of the earthy, so also we will bear the image of the heavenly (I Cor. 15:49). Our earthly bodies of flesh will be fashioned like His glorious body (Phil. 3:21). This will be a body given to us that is suited for heavenly places and glory. God has prepared us for this very thing, who has also given us the earnest of the Holy Spirit as the guarantee (II Cor. 5:1-5).
Being glorified, we enter the presence of the Father in the image of the One in whom all the Father’s delight and pleasure is found. We are forever with the Lord and like the Lord. We are the fruit of the Father’s love and eternal purpose. He has made us His children and we are received as sons into the Father’s house. This is our eternal state and joy. This is both the position and privilege of the church in Christ, resultant upon the rapture fulfilling her calling.
In the dispensation of the fullness of the times (millennium) God will gather all things in heaven and earth into one Head – Jesus Christ (Eph. 1:10). The believer’s portion in this gathering is to be in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:6). Now our position is in spirit – sitting there in Christ Jesus. Later it becomes our place in glory – sitting there with Christ Jesus.
Jesus has entered into God’s presence behind the veil. As the forerunner He has entered there for us (Heb. 6:19-20). All our Christian hope that serves as an anchor for our souls is that we will go in behind the veil where He already is – in the Presence. He did not go into an earthly tabernacle made with human hands. He went into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us (Heb. 9:24). If we ask where the veil is that our forerunner has entered in behind, it is in the heavens and in the presence of the invisible God. Our hope then, which is sure and steadfast, is that we will go in there as well.
We are blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ (Eph. 1:3). We have this blessing now in spirit. Later we will physically be in heavenly places enjoying every spiritual blessing the Father has thought of – the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ (Eph. 2:7).
When the body of Christ is glorified we are taken to the heavens to be holy and blameless in God’s sight (Eph. 1:4, Col. 1:21-22). That is our heavenly calling – to be before Him in His love, holy, blameless, irreproachable, and as the image of His Son. This is the moral nature of God. It also is our perfection as conformed into the Son’s image. Jesus Christ, as the Son of Man glorified, is this now at the right hand of God. It is the only nature that God can delight in and that God allows in His very presence. Except for angels, everything else must stay at some measure of distance.  The Spirit through Peter tells us we have been made partakers of the divine nature (II Pet. 1:2-4). The believer has this now in soul and spirit, but the sinful flesh is still with us and we are still on this earth. When we are glorified into the image of His Son, the flesh will be changed – the corruptible will put on incorruption, and the mortal will put on immortality (Rom. 8:29-30, I Cor. 15:50-53). The true church will then leave this earth, and in the Father’s house we will be perfect and complete in Christ. By this we will realize our true calling – the heavenly calling.
In the first chapter of Ephesians the believer/church is given two things as its portion through or in Jesus Christ – the calling of God (Eph. 1:4-5) and an inheritance from God (Eph. 1:11). We have our calling, but it is not completely fulfilled as yet. We have nothing of the inheritance at this time, although the believer in Christ is declared an heir of God and a co-heir with Christ. It is a truth and principle of Scripture that God will not give His inheritance until all the heirs are gathered and united together in one place. This place is the Father’s house (John 14:1-3). The heirs of God are all the sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus (Gal. 3:26, 4:6-7, Rom. 8:15-17). Although the giving of the inheritance waits for this future gathering, we have received the earnest of the Spirit as its guarantee (Eph. 1:13-14).
The two aspects of our calling is given to us in Ephesians. The first is that we will be perfectly holy and blameless before God in His love (Eph. 1:4). The second aspect of our calling is in connection with the Father as sons (Eph. 1:5). Our portion is to be like Christ in glory and to be with Him forever. The results of our calling are to be in the heavens and enjoying all spiritual blessings in heavenly places (as Israel is destined to be on the earth with temporal and physical blessings – Eph. 1:3, 2:6). Therefore the Scriptures speak of our hope laid up for us in heaven (Col. 1:5). Also God’s inheritance is reserved for us there, that is incorruptible, undefiled, and does not fade away (Eph. 1:11, I Pet. 1:4). So then it is said, “…the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what the hope of His calling, what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints…” (Eph. 1:18) It is the distinct testimony of Scripture that our hopes, our blessings, our place, our inheritance, and the glory Christ shares with us, is all celestial, not terrestrial.
I said earlier in the chapter that we can discover our purpose by knowing our calling. More so, it is the purpose of God for us, settled before the foundations of the world, which defines our calling (Eph. 1:4). He had these thoughts and intentions concerning us before time began. His calling of us is according to the good pleasure of His will (Eph. 1:5). He delights in doing so. Our calling serves to the praise of the glory of His grace (Eph. 1:6). It exalts God and glorifies Him. God foreknew us and predestined us to be conformed to the image of His Son. This is the purpose of God towards the believer. These two words – foreknew and predestined – precede the word ‘calling’ in the list in Romans (Rom. 8:29). The eternal purpose of God determined our calling. Of course we are not in the glory yet. However it is what we have been redeemed to, prepared for, and wait for. Our entrance into the glory of God is our heavenly calling (I Pet. 5:10).
Many sons into the Father’s Presence
We should understand that the greatest part of God’s purpose for the church is to be physically closest to Him and in His presence. His desire is for the church to be nearest to Him. This is His desire for Jesus Christ His Son and we are in Christ and united to Christ as His body. The church is bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh (Eph. 5:29-32). We are one with Christ, we are one spirit with Him (I Cor. 6:17).
“For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren.”
We are Christ’s brethren. Jesus, the very Son of God, is the one who suffered and became the captain of our salvation. As a result, He is the one who brings the many sons to glory. This glory certainly includes the very presence of the Father. This is the church’s ultimate privilege. God’s calling and purpose for the body of Christ is to be His tabernacle containing His presence (Eph. 2:22). There is no reward, no honor, no power and dominion that will be given to us that can possibly compare in value to this privilege!
Can we imagine what it will be like to dwell in the Father’s house for all eternity? This is the essence of this verse in Ephesians and the purpose for raising us up with Christ, “…that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.” (Eph. 2:6-7) It is the Father’s love for His Son and His many sons.
The Church’s part in the Government of God
Having said this, we should be able to understand another part of the purpose of God for the church. We replace the administration of the angels in the government of God in the heavens. It is there and then that we will be kings and priests to His God and Father (Rev. 1:6). We are seated in the heavens in Christ in the government of God over the millennial earth. God has not put the world to come in subjection to angels (Heb. 2:5). “And do you not know that you will judge them?” (I Cor. 6:3) Is this not the essence of these verses in Ephesians and the intended purpose of God in His government over the millennial earth, “…to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Eph. 3:10-11) The church is a large part of the eternal plan of God. By placing the church in the heavens God will make known His multifaceted and manifold wisdom throughout the ages to come. These are the things angels desire to look into.
Having been glorified and conformed into the image of His Son, we will be holy and blameless in God’s sight before Him in love. All the responsibilities given to us at that time, whether in the government of God or as sons in the Father’s house, will be carried out in divine perfection according to the Son’s nature we are conformed into. The government of God over all creation will be given to Jesus, the Son of Man. The true church is His body and His bride. As His help-meet we will reign with Him over all things visible and invisible. When the church is glorified the government of God is not over the sons of God. Through Jesus Christ and in Christ we are the instruments of God in His government. Both the corporate responsibilities of His body and the individual responsibility as sons will be accomplished in excellence to the glory of God. It will be an end to the failure of the church as well as to any individual failure of the believer.
A Walk worthy of our Calling
Therefore in view of our heavenly calling, we have a current walk on this earth in which we are pilgrims and strangers. This is individual. It is our responsibility before God to act and live according to our calling. We are to act and live as pilgrims and strangers to this world and on this earth. It is the responsibility of the ministry before God to always teach doctrine that shows the church how to maintain her separation from this world and earth. Our Lord said, “They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” (John 17:14, 16) This speaks of our position in Christ and with Christ. Obviously our walk is a result of this position and relationship we have as sons of God and apart from the world.
“I, therefore…beseech you to have a walk worthy of the calling with which you are called.” (Eph. 4:1) You get the sense that the calling is yet to be fulfilled while the walk is the present thing. Our calling is heavenly and future, while the walk is what we are engaged in now, on the earth and in the wilderness of the world. It is the current walk that should reflect upon the calling (I Thess. 2:12). Yet it is clear that the ‘walk’ is not the ‘calling’. This must be seen and understood.
The Spirit instructs us as to having a worthy walk. “…with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” (Eph. 4:2-3) This is our corporate responsibility. Yet our walk, carried out in human responsibility, is not what determines our calling. It is only the purpose of God towards us, as He settled before time began, that fixes our calling and position.
2 Timothy 1:9
“…who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.”
Our calling is according to God’s eternal purpose. It is not determined by human works of responsibility (Eph. 1:3-9). This is the sovereign work of God. Nothing can hinder this in coming to its intended result. Yet when the Spirit speaks of walk in Ephesians 4:1, we have that which is present on the earth. It is seen in Scripture as a unique mixture of human obedience through God’s power and grace (Phil. 2:12-15, II Cor. 4:6-11). We are encouraged to walk in lowliness, gentleness, and longsuffering, bearing with one another in love. Only the life of Christ in us and the power of the indwelling Spirit enables the believer to do this (Gal. 2:20, Rom. 8:2-4).
Further in Ephesians the Spirit says (Eph. 5:1-2), “Therefore be followers of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us…” Here we see that the believer’s walk in responsibility results from his position – as dear children of God. We follow God as Christ did, and love as He loved. We emulate His walk (I John 2:6). This is all human responsibility as a believer in our ‘walk’ in the wilderness of this world. It should be a walk worthy of our calling that is yet to be fulfilled. If we look closely we see that Ephesians 4, 5, and 6 is all instruction about the believer having a worthy walk while here in this world.
The Son of Man had nowhere in this world to lay His head, yet He said, “Come, follow Me.” Jesus had a walk leading Him out of this world. As believers, we have the same thing in our calling. Even though we are presently in this world and on this earth walking, our calling leads us out of the world and into the heavens. If we are to follow Jesus, it is for the purpose of ending up where He is – seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (John 12:26, Eph. 2:6).
Of course we all know the believer has to tread through this world. Christ had to go through it, and He did so for us. Now we follow Him through the wilderness. Our citizenship is in heaven and our passage through this world should reflect upon our heavenly conversation. The true believer does not have the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God. We should be living in such a way to emulate where Christ sits, the One who has gone to prepare a place for us. We have to pass through this world. While we do, where are our hearts? Can we say that our associations of life are all up there in the heavens? Is that where our hearts are living? Does our worship and praise bear the mark of our conversation being in heaven? Does it bear the stamp of the happiness and blessedness which is the expression of our connection with Him there? “The things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” (II Cor. 4:18) Let us, then, remember that the Lord has given Himself for us that we might have the things that are unseen – the eternal things. Jesus has Himself entered there above as our forerunner.
The Corporate Responsibility of the Church
The purpose and counsels of God for the assembly are first mentioned at the end of Ephesians 1 (all that precedes this is the individual believer as seen in God’s purposes). There the body is exalted in Christ to the right hand of God, far above all principalities and powers, and is the fullness of Him (Eph. 1:19-23). The sovereign work of God to establish the assembly as His house on earth is seen in Ephesians 2:11-22. Still speaking of God’s sovereign purpose, the body of Christ is the mystery of God’s will, which He kept hidden from the prophets and previous ages (Eph. 3:1-11) – the last two verses of this passage make the pairing of the church with and in God’s eternal counsels quite straightforward. The remainder of Ephesians 3 speaks of our fellowship with the Father in view of this privileged position in Christ.
In Ephesians 4:8-16 it speaks of the body’s corporate responsibility. This was God’s intention for the body on the earth –we all come in the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. It goes on from here which you may read for yourself (vs. 14-16). The calling of the church is heavenly, but until then the church must walk on this earth with a walk that is worthy of its calling. The responsibility of the body was to be taught and to be edified, to grow up into a perfect man. The church was responsible to testify to the truth of God (I Tim. 3:15), and not to be tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine. Yet we understand that what God starts in sovereign grace on the earth, with all gracious intentions from Him concerning it, must eventually be handed over to the responsibility of man. Therefore we have Paul laying a foundation in sovereign grace for the earthly building of God, a foundation no other man could lay (I Cor. 3:9-11). Then the Spirit says, “…let each one take heed how he builds on it.”
The corporate ‘walk’ of Christendom on the earth has failed. As an external entity the professing church, having responsibility before God, has been proven corrupt and spiritually dead. This is a non-recoverable situation. To think otherwise is not hope or faith, but the greatest of pretentions and blindness. The individual believer has individual responsibility before God. This responsibility can be made good, or as good as we can make it, by walking as Jesus walked, with Him always as our example (I John 2:6). I have discussed this earlier in the book as well as earlier in this chapter, and so will not repeat it here. It is the individual walk that remains and is the emphasis, when the corporate entity is found corrupt. Again look at Philadelphia. It is a very individual message given to her from the Lord without the corporate entity of Christendom being addressed.
“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.”
The things above are matters of hope that the believer is to be thoroughly acquainted with. If not, you will not be able to set your mind on them. Modern Christian teaching seldom teaches this. Contemporary teaching does not grasp the thoughts in the above passage. It doesn’t comprehend the true calling of God for the church. The modern result is most often the church being taught in the light of the wrong calling – an earthly calling. And the church will be taught with the wrong instructions – earthly and Jewish. Modern teachings serve to pull the true church down to the earth and establish her life in the world. But the believer’s life isn’t in the world as you can see in the passage above. Our life is not on the earth. It is not about things on the earth (Phil. 3:18-21). Our life is Christ. Our life is about where He is right now in glory. Our life is only about Christ, and He apart from this world. A Christ in glory must be the object occupying the attention of our hearts (II Cor. 3:18, 4:4, 6). Our hopes? It is Christ in us, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27, Rom. 5:1-2).
“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, (2) with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, (3) endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (4) There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling.”
The simple truth is that if you do not comprehend your calling, you cannot have a walk worthy of it. There is only one calling for the believer and church. There is no other. And this calling is in hope (Eph. 4:4). It is not on this earth, in this world, or of this present time. God’s desire is for the church, and all individual members gathered by the Spirit forming her, to be conformed into the image of His Son, and to be with the Father and Son in His glory (John 17:22, 24). Our calling does not leave us short of the glory and presence of God (Rom. 3:23, I Pet. 5:10-11).
Chapter 20: Endnotes
 Many say that some Christians are so heavenly minded, they are no earthly good. There is not one portion of Scripture that supports this statement. Quite the contrary, the true believer is to be just this – ‘so heavenly minded’. To set your mind on earthly things is to be equated by the Spirit of God as in the category of ‘the enemies of the cross of Christ’ (Phil. 3:18-19). Our citizenship is in heaven, and the spiritual believer is taught and trained to look only there (Phil. 3:20-21). Forgetting all things behind, Paul did only one thing – ‘reaching forward to those things ahead’. And what are these things ahead? “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” We are always looking at and pressing toward our calling, which remains before us, and is upward and heavenly. It will only be fulfilled by the rapture of the church – her resurrection and glorification (Phil. 3:10, 21).
In Colossians we get the spiritual reason for our heavenly gaze and the object of faith for our present walk on this earth – Christ is there, sitting at the right hand of God. Therefore we seek those things above and set our minds on things above, and not on things on the earth (Col. 3:1-3). Why? – Because you died. You died, and ended any relationship with the earth and world. “For you died…” Paul says, giving the Spirit’s reason to not look at earthly things. Having died, the only reason the believer is alive is because he has been raised from death with Christ (Col. 3:1), and now possesses Christ’s resurrected life (Eph. 1:1-6, Rom. 6:3-5, Gal. 2:20). If Christ is at the right hand of God and He is the believer’s life, then our life is there as well, hidden in God as Christ is now hidden in God. So then the Spirit says, “…Christ who is your life…” This one who is our life is the Son of Man in glory. He is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27). Can there be any doubt why we are heavenly minded? God’s purpose for our calling is to be in the glory of God with Christ and as made like Christ. His purpose in promising to conform us into the image of His Son will be so we can be near Him (the Father) in His presence and the objects of His delight (Rom. 8:28-30).
 The rapture and glorifying of the church into the heavens is written of extensively in the second book of ‘the Son of Man Series’. Its title is ‘The Blessed Hope of the Church’.
 The church will be found in the very presence of the invisible God. This is our privilege by virtue of our position as sons of God. Our position matches that of Jesus, the Son of God (John 20:17). Those that are saved on the earth during the tribulation for the millennium, including the Jewish remnant and those born on the earth during the millennium, are at a distance from God. It is as far as the New Jerusalem is above the earth, with the Son of Man on the earth as their mediator. The wicked dead are destined to forever be separated from the presence of God and during the millennium are found in Hades. After the millennium is the great white throne judgment. This is when Hades gives up all the wicked dead to be judged by Christ. They are all cast into the lake of fire as the final destination of all wickedness. At that time Satan is cast in there as well. After this follows the eternal state in which the tabernacle of God will be with men on the earth as come down from heaven (Rev. 21:1-4). The tabernacle of God is the New Jerusalem, which is the church. At least it is the heavenly and eternal habitation of the church.

Our latest LaBarbera Award goes to a collective effort in Minnesota consisting of four fundamentalist leaders with the Minnesota Family Council. They held a press conference to explain what would happen if Minnesota doesn’t pass a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships:
“If everyone is a gay, this world will cease to exist in 10 years,” said Ikram ul-Huq, the imam and religious director of the Muslim Community Center of Bloomington.
“Homosexual unions are forbidden and cannot be licensed with the term marriage,” said Rabbi Moshe Feller, Shliach of the Rebbe to the Upper Midwest, a Chabad-Lubavitch sect of Hasidic Judaism.
“We see this as a pivotal issue to life, not just for our nation but the life we have known for 3,000 years,” said Tom Parrish, administrative pastor of Hope Lutheran Church. Parrish represents Hope Lutheran Church, whose senior pastor, Tom Brock, raised some eyebrows in 2003 when he insisted the 9/11 attacks were God’s wake-up call.
“That’s a lifestyle that God says is sinful,” Brock said of homosexuality in 2003. “Something happened to this nation in the ’60s,” he continued. “It’s just become more and more godless. I think God is going to judge us. I think 9/11 might be a wake-up call from God, saying America needs to repent.”
Another Christian pastor said life itself is at stake if same-sex marriage isn’t banned permanently. “This is not a political issue, or an issue of choice or rights. It is an issue of life,” said Andre Dukes, pastor of Shiloh Temple Ministries in Minneapolis.
Four guys from Minnesota, with a fifth from 2003 thrown in as a bonus. My obvious favorite is Imam Cease-To-Exist. The others are pretty light weight in comparison, although Rev. Wake-Up-Call from 2003 is pretty good. That’s what you would call and oldie but goodie.
Maybe we should help them out. You can add your shocking predictions of what will happen in the comments. Here’s mine: Same-sex marriage will cause a run on fine china, leaving straight couples to pick from among the uglier, less desirable patterns.
In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

Using the same research methods employed by most anti-gay political pressure groups, we examine the statistics and the case studies that dispel many of the myths about heterosexuality. Download your copy today!
And don‘t miss our companion report, How To Write An Anti-Gay Tract In Fifteen Easy Steps.
Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

K-1 Kickboxer Rukiya Anpo got a welcome surprise when a group of ‘street-proven’ challengers walked into his dojo.
Anpo is a 26 year old kickboxer currently competing in the welterweight division of K-1. He’s been a pro since 2011 and was previously the K-1 Super lightweight champion.
He was ranked in the top 10 kickboxers in the Combat Press ranks ever since March of 2019. As such he’s an extremely unlikely target to succumb to this type of challenge. But this didn’t stop the group that decided to surprise him at his dojo in Osaka, Japan.
The gym is ran by him and his brother since 2018 and established with the help of crowdfunding.
Anpo answered the challengers and quickly got to work. His slim athletic physique instantly got to work on challengers that outsize him one by one. The first one was a flabby gentleman who quickly ended his challenge after his nose got bloodied up. When you’re looking at the video you’ll be clear right away as to who is the pro even if you’ve never seen Anpo before.
His technique is impeccable.
The challenger kept going at it too. He was able to recover and start round 2. But here he got promptly knocked out and reduced to his knees.
Anpo then took on another challenger. This one a more athletic looking one. It didn’t help him any and he was pretty much playing the role of a punching bag with Anpo landing heavy shots to both his body and the head.
Soon, he too crumbled but opted to continue. Anpo was cautious and wasn’t showing off much clearly outperforming his challengers by a light year.

Aussies call for the return of KFC Hot and Spicy
Aussie fast-food fans have spoken, and they clearly want KFC to make this classic menu item available all the time, in every state.
The problem with a limited-edition menu item is if it’s good, it leaves you wanting more.
Australians are still salivating over KFC mashies and the delicious McRib burger from McDonald’s, with Facebook pages dedicated to campaigning for returns of much-loved fast-foods.
While there are those special items we don’t get for long (or long enough if they’re a flop), there are also menu changes that steer too far from the classic offerings you love.
This week news.com.au asked readers to submit what they’d like on today’s Australia’s Favourite poll which asks what fast-food item you want returned – and one of them isn’t a limited-edition item.
It turns out there are Aussies who are still fuming Hungry Jack’s changed its onion ring recipe.
But after more than 7600 votes, Australia has spoken – it’s time for KFC to make Hot and Spicy Chicken permanent.
The fried chicken chain’s (sort of) limited-edition menu item was the clear winner in our poll, with 28 per cent of you calling for the return of the flaming-hot range.
Hot and Spicy has a slightly messy history in Australia, due to KFC stores being split between Yum! Brands – the US company that owns KFC and other brands including Pizza Hut and Taco Bell – and Collins Foods, a Brisbane-based franchisor.
Collins Foods has a large presence in Queensland and Western Australia, while Yum! Brands covers most of the rest of the stores in the country.
According to Hot and Spicy aficionados on the internet, Queensland stores have in the past kept Hot and Spicy as a menu item year-round, while in other states it comes and goes at the whims of the Colonel.
Over the years there have been Facebook campaigns and Change.org petitions calling for Hot and Spicy to be put on the menu in all states permanently. Let’s hope KFC is listening.
News.com.au’s Australia’s Favourite series asks you each week what should be crowned our country’s best.
So far you’ve told us your favourite fast food burger is the Filet-o-Fish, Mountain Dew is the best soft drink, ham and pineapple is the ultimate pizza topping, Tasty Toobs need to return, Bondi Beach is by far the most overrated in the country, and Stone & Wood Pacific Ale is your beer of choice.
RELATED: Australia’s ‘best show ever’ crowned
One Hungry Jack’s fan said they had a “surprise encounter” with the new ones and were too scared to go back to the chain.
“They sucked,” the customer wrote.
With McDonald’s announcing a new McFlurry flavour yesterday, many people are still calling for former flavours to make a return – the Shrek-inspired Ogre frozen soft drink among them.
Meanwhile, prayers have already been answered with the return of the KFC Tower Burger so we can no longer keep that one on the list.
KFC has succumbed to the pressure of fans and after three long years, they’ve listened, bringing back one of their most iconic burgers.
But fans of KFC mashies are still calling on the chain to make their return happen.

ZANESVILLE, Ohio (AP) — The Latest on the trial of a former Ohio college student accused of killing her newborn baby (all times local):
An Ohio jury has begun deliberating in the trial of a former college student accused of killing her newborn baby.
The jury in Zanesville began deliberating Friday after more than two days of testimony in the trial of former Muskingum University student Emile (EM’-uh-lee) Weaver.
The 21-year-old Weaver is facing aggravated murder and other charges. She is accused of giving birth to the baby girl in her sorority house bathroom, putting her in a trash bag and leaving it outside the residence in April 2015.
Authorities say the infant died from asphyxiation.
Weaver testified she thought the baby was already dead when she put her in the bag.
If Weaver is convicted of aggravated murder she could face life in prison.
A former Ohio college student accused of murder for giving birth to her baby in a sorority house bathroom and disposing of it has testified that she was denial about her pregnancy.
Emile (EM’-uh-lee) Weaver, who initially told investigators that she didn’t know she was pregnant, testified Friday in her aggravated murder trial in Zanesville. She told jurors she denied being pregnant when asked by members of her Delta Gamma Theta sorority at Muskingum University — and continued to deny it herself.
The 21-year-old Weaver is accused of putting the infant girl in a trash bag and leaving her outside the sorority house last April 22. The child died from asphyxiation.
Weaver testified that she thought the baby was dead when she put it in the trash bag.

After being swept by the Yankees the Mets are in Milwaukee tonight to begin a series against the Brewers. It won’t get any easier.
And, it is going to stay rough for a long time because Jose Reyes and Carlos Delgado aren’t back any time soon, and Carlos Beltran could be out a little longer. They simply don’t have any chips to deal.
It’s up to the people here now, and they aren’t getting it done.
The Mets follow up their first series win in weeks with a three-game series against the Yankees at Citi Field, with Mike Pelfrey going against CC Sabathia.
Pelfrey (5–2, 4.74 ERA) pitched five innings against the Yankees last season and allowed eight hits and four runs. The key with Pelfrey is to get ahead in the count. With a first-pitch strike opponents are batting just .193 against him; they are .387 when he falls behind.
Another thing with Pelfrey is to avoid the big inning. He has a tendency to give up runs in bunches and unravel. He has been unable to minimize the damage.
Sabathia (6–4, 3.71 ERA) left his last start in the second inning with a sore left bicep. He has gone 5-1 over his last nine starts.
An interesting line-up change has Ryan Church in center and Fernando Tatis in right. Gary Sheffield is back and in left.
Here’s the batting order:
Luis Castillo, 2B
Alex Cora, SS
David Wright, 3B
Gary Sheffield, LF
Fernando Tatis, RF
Ryan Church, CF
Nick Evans, 1B
Omir Santos, C
Mike Pelfrey, RP
When you keep losing series, you’ll never get on track and that’s where the Mets find themselves today against Tampa Bay. The Mets began the month trying to avoid a June Swoon. It has turned out that way, but lucky for them nobody else in the division has been able to run away.
It’s still winnable, but not if this continues.
The schedule doesn’t get any easier in the coming weeks with St. Louis, the Yankees and Phillies again, and Atlanta.
Especially discouraging is how the Mets have lost this year. There have been a lot of tough losses: the Murphy dropped fly in Florida that beat Santana; the Castillo dropped pop against the Yankees; the blown five-run lead against the Pirates; the Church game in LA where he failed to touch third base; yesterday’s loss to the Rays; and several others, including a couple of games in which they blew a three-run lead.
Championship caliber teams find a way to win these games and that’s something the Mets haven’t done with any consistency.
It has to change.
With the Subway Series beginning tonight it is an appropriate time to ask this question: Why do you hate the Yankees?
Is it because of their 26 World Series rings and the subsequent sense of entitlement? Is it their obnoxious fans? There’s got to be a reason why you show rage and scorn at the pinstripes.
What is it?
Just taking your temperature on your concern level with the Mets as they head into the roughest part of their schedule. Upcoming over the next few weeks are the Phillies twice, Yankees twice, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Tampa Bay and Los Angeles.
And, they’ll be playing with questions in their rotation, notably Mike Pelfrey and John Maine being erratic; a strained bullpen; and numerous offensive issues. Is Gary Sheffield out of gas? Will Daniel Murphy hit like he did in the beginning of the season? And, will David Wright and Carlos Beltran start hitting with some power?
With the exception of Johan Santana starting tomorrow night, the pitching match-ups in the Philadelphia series favor the Phillies. Against superior pitching, the Mets aren’t hitting enough to compensate for their pitching deficiencies.
When you look at the Mets overall, they are closer to being the team that was swept at Los Angeles than the team that won two of three at Fenway Park.
The Mets need to hang close until late July to see where they are at the trade deadline. Given their upcoming schedule, a losing streak is definitely possible. More possible than a lengthy winning roll. This isn’t a team built to where they can climb out of a 10-game hole.
If you cheer for the Mets, your concern level should be high.

PepsiCo Chairperson and CEO Indra Nooyi participated in the World Food Prize during October, providing a keynote address to attendees. Her address focused on the critical role industry can play in helping agriculture better serve the nutritional needs of the globe, highlighting the developments PepsiCo is already making in the areas of distribution and product reformulation. An excerpt of the speech is highlighted below, with the full text available here.
With that as a backdrop, I think there are three specific things that we, the private sector, especially the food and beverage sector can do. We can help across the entire process of our business – from farming, to product formulation to distribution.
First, we can and must share our core “farming” expertise. In the course of doing business we build a great store of knowledge on things like nutrition science, irrigation techniques and the development of resilient crop strains. There is no reason why this knowledge can’t be shared with small-scale farmers to help improve their yields and enrich their crops.
Small-scale farmers who would benefit are vital to the solution. Two-thirds of the 3 billion rural people in the world live off the income generated by farming less than two hectares. And, these small-scale farmers are the ones who are least able to get hold of agriculture advancements, but they are also the ones who have the greatest capacity to turn the sector around.
It’s not well known today, but when PepsiCo launched its business in India in the 1980’s, we began with agriculture. We worked directly with thousands of farmers in Punjab and other states transferring techniques and best practices to improve the yields of tomatoes, chili and rice. We shared technology, including introducing new tomato and chili varieties that tripled yields. Recently, we also started a high yield citrus processing farm, planting millions of orange trees that have the potential to make India a global orange growing base. At the same time, we introduced critical food processing technology. That meant fewer fruits and vegetables would rot on their way to market.
We have also worked with local scientists in India to implement drip irrigation, a paddy field watering technique that uses significantly lower levels of water to produce a rice crop. This saves crops and improves the return to the farmer.
In Inner Mongolia, China, we helped local potato farmers develop thriving crops in the middle of the desert. Water-saving irrigation and crop-rotation methods were shared along with regular training on modern, environmentally friendly technologies. Production per hectare at these farms is world class at 39 tons, more than double the 18 ton average in China. We benefit from these productive farming techniques – we buy the output at competitive prices. The farmers in turn make a good living.
Second, the private sector can use its R&D and product formulation expertise to incent healthier eating by providing consumers with products that are both highly nutritious and taste great. For many years now, at PepsiCo, we’ve found creative ways to reformulate our products. We’ve reduced fat, we’ve reduce sodium and we’ve taken out added sugars. We are now adding whole grains, fruits, and vegetables to our snacks and making many of our drinks healthier too. For example, over the past 5 years, in the US alone, in Beverages our total calories per 8oz serving decreased 11%.
Frito Lay led the industry in 2003 by being the first major food company to remove trans-fats from it entire snack chip portfolio. We are reformulating our packs and products to address obesity with better nutrition labeling and portion control.
The third thing that private sector companies can do is leverage its distribution expertise. Lots of companies have highly developed supply chains and these can be used in the biggest task of all – to distribute food to places where it is needed most.
Take PepsiCo in India, South Africa, Nigeria, Mexico, China as examples. We service between one hundred thousand and one million urban and rural outlets depending on the country and reach these outlets once, sometimes twice, a week. How can we and other companies with similar distribution networks, utilize this precious resource to help address the under-nutrition issues that are so rampant?
At PepsiCo, we recently launched Project Asha (“hope” in Sanskrit). This project draws on the expertise that we have gained through our extensive food R&D. In partnering with several organizations, we have been able to develop highly nutritious products for the under-nourished. We want to augment this development with the reach of our supply chain so we can get it into the hands of the poorest of the poor, in countries like India, Nigeria, Mexico and South Africa. It is a work-in process, we have run into many obstacles; but we are resolute. Finding innovative solutions is what we in the private sector do best.
We also have another great resource: our highly qualified and capable people. We are seconding retirees with expertise in distribution, to the World Food Program, to transfer best practices from our company to them to improve the efficiency of distribution of food aid. We have business initiatives with UNICEF and Valid in Nigeria to support and learn about possible roles in addressing under-nutrition. All these form part of a commitment I made to UNDP and the British Government with 17 other companies to show how we can use our core business capabilities to tackle the MDGs.
Knowledge transfer, understanding of consumers and nudging them to make the right food choices, and reach – that is the holy trinity that the private sector can offer to align agriculture and nutrition.
The picture I have painted is of a company that cares about its responsibilities. Companies, in my view, operate with a license from the societies that host them. They have the privilege of limited liability in return for being a responsible corporate citizen. At PepsiCo we call that obligation “performance with purpose”. It means that we think of these responsibilities as part of our core mission. […]

The Food 101 column in the Feb. 28 Food section incorrectly said that Miller Genuine Draft has replaced Miller High Life. Miller Brewing still produces both beers, but Genuine Draft has replaced High Life as the flagship product.
When Light Meets Beer
I was fascinated by the discussion in your book about why beer bottles are made of dark glass. A friend pointed out that he has seen some beer, such as Miller High Life, in clear bottles. Does this clear-bottle brew somehow lack the light-sensitive properties of other beers?
It's not completely immune, but it is much less sensitive to light than most other beers are.
Light sensitivity is caused by hops, the dried female flowers of the hop plant that have been used for about 1,000 years to impart bitterness and a mellow aroma to beer and other brews. Hops boiled during the brewing process contain chemicals called isohumulones, also known as isomerized alpha acids, which when struck by visible or ultraviolet light produce some of the same chemicals that skunks spray at their antagonists. Beer drinkers understandably are not fond of the accompanying scent and spurn light-struck beer as being "skunky" or "skunked."
Skunkiness, incidentally, is quite different from the unsavory flavor that develops in beer that is stale or that has been subjected to warm or fluctuating temperatures. Stale beer can taste like cardboard, while skunked beer tastes like -- well, like a polecat smells.
The deleterious effects of light on beer have been known for more than a century. Historically, beer has been bottled in green or brown glass because those colors are easily produced by natural iron oxide in the sand used to make the glass. Brown glass is better than green, because unless it is very thick, green glass permits the passage of the primarily skunkifying green and blue light, while brown or amber glass blocks it. The widespread appearance of canned beer in 1935 sidestepped the problem, of course, but bottles still hold the allegiance of craft brewers and finicky drinkers.
Only recently (in 2001) did we figure out how light causes skunkiness. Chemists at the University of North Carolina and Ghent University in Belgium found that when exposed to light, the alpha acids in hops break down into free radicals that then react with sulfur-containing proteins to make a chemical called 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol, which is virtually identical to the principal constituent of skunk juice. Any time you see "thiol" in the name of a chemical, you can bet it's going to stink. Humans can detect this particular thiol at concentrations as low as one-billionth of a gram per 12-ounce bottle of beer. Apparently, skunks really know their chemistry.
So if skunkiness is caused by light acting on chemicals in hops, and if virtually all beers contain hops, how does Miller get away with using colorless bottles for its Genuine Draft, which has replaced its High Life? (It's the same recipe, but Genuine Draft is cold filtered instead of being pasteurized, as High Life was.)
Chemical trickery, that's how. Instead of using actual hops for bittering the beer, Miller uses a chemically modified form of hops' alpha acids known by several brand names, among them Tetrahop Gold. It does not produce 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol when struck by light, but according to the Ghent chemists, it can still produce rotten-egg odors. Uncolored bottles are cheaper than colored ones, however, so Miller's fiscal folks apparently prevailed over their flavor mavens.
Mexico's Corona Extra beer, also sold in a colorless bottle, is customarily served -- at least to us gringos, but not so much in Mexico -- with a wedge of lime stuck in its neck. Nobody really knows how the garnish originated, but cynical armchair historians have two theories: Either it was needed to wipe the rims of hygienically challenged bottles before putting them to the lips, or it served to cover up any skunkiness that developed during shipping and storage.
Me? I never know what I'm supposed to do with the lime, so I discard it and take my chances. Who needs the sourness of lime with his beer, anyway? It's not tequila.

A New Perspective
Dena Johnson Martin Crosswalk.com blogspot for Dena Johnson of Dena's Devos
- 2017 Aug 02
The last year has been hard…really, really hard.
Exactly one year ago, I received a call that my ex-husband had passed away suddenly. Telling my children that their dad was dead ranks right up there with the most difficult moments of my life. Watching them grieve and mourn. Sending them off to bury their dad. Night after night wiping the tears as they streamed down their faces.
But we didn’t have long to swallow the news. His death was followed by blow after blow. My own surgery. My daughter suddenly having grand mal seizures, her body convulsing for what seemed an excruciating length of time. Multiple trips to the emergency room. Test after test trying to find the cause. Medications and medication changes.
And now, I find myself in yet another major change. Today, I accepted a new position in my company. I will be changing jobs, leaving a position that has been such a blessing in my life for over five years. It’s been a tough decision, one covered in prayer and not taken lightly.
It’s a difficult season. It’s been a difficult year (really, two years if you look closely). I’ve spent hours in turmoil, hours in prayer, hours with tears streaming down my face. Even as I type right now, I feel the tears stinging my eyes, begging to be released, free to cleanse the pain buried in my soul.
In the midst of everything, I often felt God was absent, certainly silent at best. I wondered where He was, where were the fulfillments of the many promises He had made. As more pain was heaped upon my already aching soul, I wondered why God would allow us—my children and me—to suffer so much pain. Why? Where? What now?
In my head, I have seen God’s goodness and grace and faithfulness. I’ve learned to trust Him in the midst of the trials. I’ve experienced the beauty of what God does in our pain. In my head, I knew He was still present, still loving, still faithful.
But in my heart, I sometimes couldn’t find Him.
Now, as we turn a corner to the one year anniversary of my ex-husband’s death, I have the benefit of looking back…and the view is so much clearer. It’s still not 100% in focus, but I have a much better grasp of where God was working when I couldn’t see Him in the middle of my pain.
Here’s a few lessons God has hammered home as we’ve walked through the last year.
God’s timing is always perfect. I recently asked my daughter what good things God has given us in the last year. Without a moment’s hesitation, she responded, “Roy.”
When the kids lost their dad, I immediately put my desire for a relationship aside, knowing my kids needed me more than ever before. What I didn’t realize is that my kids needed a dad to love them and support them. While Roy will never replace their dad, he has been an absolutely amazing substitute! He loves them as his own, supports them in their activities, and has stepped into that role in ways I never imagined.
For years, I have prayed and waited, waited and prayed, wondering when it would be my time. I don’t fully understand why God waited until now, but I definitely see how the timing could not have been more perfect. His promises are fulfilled at the perfect time.
God’s provisions are always sufficient. When my ex-husband passed away, he still had marital debts…debts in my name, a debt I am now responsible for. In addition, because of changes in our health insurance plan, I was hit with over $20,000 in medical bills between Cassie and me (and that doesn’t include my $10,000 in insurance premiums). I went from virtually debt-free to buried under a mountain of debt, and I had no idea how I would ever dig out.
God has been so faithful! At Christmas, I had some amazing, generous Christians pour out love so generously, heaping gifts on me that allowed me to pay for my daughter’s orthodontics. In the last month, I’ve been able to pay off over $17,000 in debt. And, I anticipate paying off the remaining two debts in the next month. My mind is blown, and I am so grateful for God’s provisions. And I will get to enter a new job debt-free.
God’s work is always ongoing. For so many years I thought God was silent. I couldn’t see His hand, His work. I sometimes wondered why I even had faith to believe I had heard His voice.
Now, as I enter this new season, I see where God was still at work when I thought He was silent. He was working in Roy’s life in response to my prayers, calling him to fully surrender and live His life for God’s glory. He was preparing circumstances that would provide for our financial needs when we needed it the most. I see how He was so busy taking the many circumstances of this life and weaving them together to provide a beautiful future for us.
I now know that God is always working to bring good out of our pain, to bring beauty from the ashes.
God’s love is never-ending. Do I even need to mention this one? His grace, His love, are so evident on this side of the pain. His goodness, His mercy, have been abundant, giving us the strength just to reach this one year anniversary. His power, His provision, have been abundant as we’ve walked through the painful days.
I am trying to encourage my children to look for the many gifts we have received in the last year. I am encouraging them to focus on the many things for which we must be thankful. I am encouraging them to see God’s powerful love poured out over us in the midst of our pain. I am encouraging them to ask God to give them His perspective.
Levi Lusko, pastor of Fresh Life Church in Montana and Utah, spoke at our church in March. He told the heart-breaking story of losing his young daughter, Lenya, to an asthma attack several years ago. He told of the verse that penetrated his and his wife’s heart, a verse that spoke of His power over death, shortly before God took Lenya home. A verse that prepared both Lusko and his wife for the unthinkable, unimaginable pain they would soon face.
As I look back over the posts I wrote in March of last year, I see how God was preparing me for the incredible changes He knew I would soon face. I wrote about how I was restless, longing for a change of season. I wrote of an incredible passage that tells us we can never experience God’s healing if we don’t experience pain. I see how God was preparing me for the season that would soon be thrust upon me, the pain my children and I would soon experience.
Lusko continued with an important lesson on perspective, a lesson I know impacted my children in a powerful way. Lusko and his family miss their precious daughter. Their hearts ache with an immense pain, a heavy loneliness that only grieving parents can truly understand. He talks of each day that passes as one more day away from their precious daughter.
Or is it? You see, Lusko chooses to look at each passing day as one step closer to being reunited with Lenya, that glorious day when he will enter the gates of heaven and embrace his precious daughter. He talks of this perspective shift as essential in helping him navigate the grief that is still overwhelming at times. It’s a fresh reminder of the hope we have in Christ.
As my daughter and I talked this week, she brought up this powerful lesson. She reminded me that despite her pain, her grief, her sadness in missing her dad, she is choosing to look at each passing day as one step closer to seeing him again, to complete restoration and redemption of everything she has lost.
I pray that as I reflect on everything we have experienced I can have God’s perspective. I pray that as I am faced with new trials in the future I can remember that hindsight always gives us a clearer perspective. I pray that as I am lost in the fog of pain I can remember it is only in the pain that I experience His healing.
I pray that each day I am on this earth I can see life through His eyes.

From The Socialist newspaper, 6 September 2017
Demonstrators see off far-right in Keighley
EDL thugs in Keighley, 2.9.17, photo by Bradford Socialist Party (Click to enlarge)
Iain Dalton, Socialist Party West Yorkshire organiser
"Get out of our town and take your racism with you," was one of the messages hurled by shoppers at the small contingent of English Defence League (EDL) members trying to stage a demonstration in Keighley, Yorkshire.
The protest on 2 September was originally supposed to be one of two demonstrations that day, with EDL members set to descend on Bradford where threats of acid attacks against women wearing the Burqa have been made.
Yet the Bradford protest was called off, and the Keighley demonstration only took place due to the four lines of police separating them from angry locals. An indication of the EDL's poor state of organisation at present was they didn't appear to have a megaphone, so no-one apart from them could hear their racist message.
Around 100 people, locals and anti-fascist campaigners gathered to oppose them, while Unite Against Fascism held a similar sized protest which was kettled by the police down the road.
Socialist Party members from Bradford and neighbouring towns were part of both counter-protests, getting a good response to our leaflets linking the need to oppose the divisive politics of the far-right with clear opposition to austerity and capitalism.

Coronavirus crisis - Finance appeal
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.
- The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
- Our 'fighting coronavirus workers' charter', outlines a programme to combat the virus and protect workers' living conditions.
- When the health crisis subsides, we must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
Inevitably, during the crisis we have not been able to sell the Socialist and raise funds in the ways we normally would.
We therefore urgently appeal to all our viewers to donate to our special coronavirus appeal.

French police officers go on trial over teenagers death
In Rennes - Brittany- the trial begins on Monday for two police officers - a decade after the death of two teenage men that prompted riots in disaffected communities across France.
The officers stand accused of failing to assist 15-year-old Bouna Traoré and 17-year-old Zyed Benna who were hiding from police in a fenced-off, high-voltage electricity transformer where they were electrocuted to death.
Supporters of their families say the teenagers were running from police near their housing project northeast of Paris, because they anticipated harassment and humiliation. They say the deaths could have been avoided.
Police officers Sébastien Gaillemin and Stéphanie Klein face charges of failing to assist a person in danger.
The deaths spurred weeks of nightly rioting and arson in poor suburbs across France over police harassment and discrimination in 2005.

Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra on Wednesday issued notification for the second phase of the state assembly elections, polling for which is scheduled for November 23.
Wednesday's notification covers six assembly seats in the north Kashmir's Ganderbal and Rajouri district of Jammu region.
An official statement issued in Srinagar said that November 5 has been fixed as the last date for filing nomination papers, and scrutiny will be held on November 6.
The statement said that November 8 will be the last date for the withdrawal of candidatures and polling is scheduled for November 23.
A total of 530 polling booths will be set up in the two districts for the second phase.
In the two assembly segments of Kangan and Ganderbal, 1,37,495 registered voters which include 71,336 male and 66,159 female voters, are expected to exercise their franchise.
Around 142 polling stations will be set up in Ganderbal district to facilitate voters on the polling day.
In the four assembly segments of Nowshera, Darhal, Rajouri and Kalakote in Rajouri district of Jammu division, 388 polling booths are being set up to facilitate 3,53,457 voters, which includes 1,82,529 male and 1,70,928 female voters.
The seven-phased poll for 87 assembly seats is spread over two months, and the polls will be held between November 17 and December 24.
The People's Democratic Party, which finally announced its participation in the polls on Tuesday, on Wednesday issued the first list of candidates for the first phase.
The PDP has included its much vaunted self-rule and providing employment to the youth as its main poll plank in the party manifesto issued in Srinagar.


DAVID COLLINS, the secretary-general of the Football Association of Wales, has defended the organisation's part in last week's controversial Fifa U-turn.
World football's governing body caused a storm by reversing their decision to allow Wales to invoke the four-day rule ahead of their Euro 2004 qualifier in Azerbaijan a week today.
Manager Mark Hughes was originally assured he could prevent Ryan Giggs, Robbie Savage, Andrew Melville, Mark Pembridge and John Hartson playing for their clubs on Sunday - 24 hours before Wales make the long flight to Baku.
Fifa changed its stance by declaring the fixture fell on a "non-competitive" date, meaning the clubs were only obliged to release their Wales stars 48 hours in advance of the qualifier.
The organisation received a barrage of criticism for issuing contradictory advice and hampering Hughes's preparations in the process, but questions have also been asked of the FAW's role in the fiasco.
Fifa insist the rules were spelt out in a circular - sent to the FAW in December 2001 - and therefore Welsh football's governing body should have been fully aware of them.
But, speaking about the fiasco for the first time, Collins insisted the FAW had no case to answer. "We are totally aware of the rules," he told The Western Mail. "I would defend my position.
"My head of international affairs (Mark Evans) and I were in touch with Fifa throughout.
"The circular we received from them was ambiguous.
"Our understanding of it was that it (Azerbaijan) was an international qualifying match and therefore the four-day rule applied.
"We sought clarification from Fifa - before doing anything - to make sure that was also their understanding. They confirmed it was, and we acted on that.
"Fifa are world football's governing body and you have to abide by what they tell you. Hence the annoyance that was felt when, at the end of last week, they U-turned and decided that the two-day rule applied."
Birmingham City played a leading role in Fifa's U-turn to ensure they had Savage available for their Premiership clash against Fulham on Sunday.
While the other clubs concerned - Manchester United, Everton, Fulham and Celtic - had reluctantly agreed to release their Wales play-ers, the Blues threatened the possibility of legal action if Savage was forced to report for international duty on Saturday.
By placing pressure on Fifa, Birmingham effectively won the club versus country dispute, but Collins dismissed claims the FAW had emerged from the affair with little credit.
"It's not embarrassing at all that Birmingham picked up on this," he said. "This whole thing is more embarrassing for Fifa than us.
"One hopes they will not do another U-turn in the future. To have different departments coming out with different answers is not acceptable.
"We'll have discussions with Fifa about it, but their internal matters are down to them.
"As far as we're concerned, we're getting on with it and looking forward to doing exceedingly well in Azerbaijan." Collins was present yesterday as sports minister Jenny Randerson announced a #1.3m boost to support the development of football in Wales for young people.
The money, which will be made available over a three-year period, is based on recommendations put forward by the Football Forum, which was set up last year.
"The money will galvanise the development of football in Wales," said Randerson.
"Wales has enormous potential. We have nearly 30,000 registered boys and girls playing football and a considerable reserve of untapped potential.
"We need to support our talented young players to make sure we create more Ryan Giggses and Craig Bellamys of the future."

Eric, an incoming high school freshman, is at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg to get a HPV vaccine. The vaccine, commonly known to stop cervical cancer in young women, also helps prevent cancer in young men.
Eric is just one in a group that health experts are targeting with an HPV action and awareness coalition. USF is announcing on Tuesday the work being done to combat Florida’s low HPV vaccination ranking.
Catherine Alesandrini says the vaccine is a good idea. “I think that if there’s any preventative measure that we can do I think we should do it."
The CDC says all kids who are 11 or 12 years old should get the three dose series of the HPV vaccine. Teen boys and girls who did not get the vaccine when they were younger should get it now and can be vaccinated up to age 26 for women and 21 for men. Catherine wants the vaccine but, she says, “I have Catholic insurance, and they refuse to cover it.”
Carlen Garmon says she won’t give she won’t give her son Hudson the vaccine. “I really believe the body is able to take care of itself, in most cases, so my son hasn't had a vaccine at all.”
While Carlen is not alone in her concern over vaccines, health experts just want to educate parents on the benefits. - They warn that Florida has one of the highest rates of cervical cancer in the country and that HPV can cause a range of cancers.
Tuesday's news conference will be held at CAMLS in downtown Tampa. In the meantime, if you want some information on HPV and the vaccine now, go to: http://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/default.htm
