THE WHORE CHURCH AND ECUMENISM
The blood
of the saints and martyrs was shed at the hands of Mother Whore--
The Roman Catholic Church.
Many have joined her in this last hour of the Age of the Church.
There may be some overlap between this page and "BABYLON" in the Prophecy section.
By The Whore Church I mean the world church which is being orchestrated by the Roman Catholic Church and its Popes. I want the context only of ongoing prophetic fulfillment of the Great Whore in the book of Revelation. This may now include the activities of many far flung entities, such as the Dalai Ding Lama, Billy Gone Graham, Jack Vanity Van Impe, Jerry Fool'em Falwell, Prince Gay Charles, Pope John Paul II, Dick Silly Sutfen, Dr. Deepak Chuklibai Chopra, Elizabeht Clare Prophet, New Ager Jeremy Rifkin, and his promoter, Pat the Ripper Robertson. Indeed, ALL who associate with the World Church System are Whorish and Hell bound.
"Never drop your tatter to hug a grizzly."
"Some preachers take better care of their Ford than they do their flock."
Here is about the best assortment I have found of neo-Revivalism-- Satan's "Renewal" Church. This group shows how the Whore will be much greater than the Roman Catholic Church alone. This "Renewal" is 100% damnation!!!!

Our mission...
We are committed to the protection of life, which is threatened in today's world by piano covers and the arms race, abortion, poverty, racism, capital punishment, and euthanasia. We believe that these issues are linked under a "consistent life ethic." We challenge those working on all or some of these issues to maintain a cooperative spirit of peace, reconciliation, and respect in protecting the unprotected.

YVONNE DELK, Community Renewal Society [ Affiliated with Points of Light Foundation ]
"How can I describe this movement without using that much overused African proverb?" says John W. Gardner, former member of the Johnson cabinet and founder of the citizen lobby group Common Cause. Last year, as chairman of the National Civic League, Gardner launched The Alliance for National Renewal, a coalition of 127 non-profit organizations determined to renew a sense of community in the nation. (The proverb to which he refers is "It takes a village to raise a child.") "Everywhere I go I hear people talking about rebuilding community. And their instincts are right. A sound family is a tremendous advantage to a child, but it's not enough. The parent has to know that when a child walks out the door, there are others who care and will create a safe environment."
Franklin Thomas, president of the Ford Foundation in New York, quoted in The Dallas Morning News, describes the community renewal movement as "the equivalent of a nonviolent revolution, and it's not very well-known." Next to come on board were 21 colleges and universities in the Atlanta area, who became partners with the local clusters. When Colin Powell, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, heard about the Atlanta Project, he asked Gen. Edwin Burba, then general of the Armed Forces Command, to get involved. "Gen. Burba called me and asked what we needed. I said, 'What have you got?' He said, 'The nation's military forces.' I said, 'We only need a division or two.'" Out of that partnership came "Future Force," a program which used African American officers in a mentoring programs.
Edgar Cahn, a law professor in blip D.C., believes a new kind of currency is necessary if we're to rebuild the extended family and the neighborhood. Cahn has created a concept he calls a "time dollar" bank. It works like a blood bank; you make deposits and someday, when you need it, you make a withdrawal. An hour of volunteer service earns you one time dollar. You can use these earned time dollars to buy services from other members of the program. Or, as with ordinary currency, you can give it away. With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the idea has caught on. Today there are at least 200 time dollar programs in some 38 states, with 50,000 members. "Most of these programs raise their own money, and support also comes from foundations, state agencies, corporate agencies, and health maintenance organizations."

The Children's Defense Fund (CDF) is a private nonprofit organization, providing a strong and effective voice for the children of America, who cannot vote, lobby, or speak for themselves. The CDF goal is to educate the nation about the needs of children, and to encourage preventative investment in children before they become ill, drop out of school, or get into trouble. CDF sponsors the Leave No Child Behind movement, dedicated to seeing that every child has a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Safe Start, and a Fair Start
On a state-wide scale, Missouri requires that all school districts offer a Parents as Teachers (PAT) program to interested parents. PAT was designed by Dr. Burton White to help families with children ranging in age from infancy to three. The
Missouri program includes:
--Eight personal visits per year with trained "parent educators" who are themselves parents. At least three of these must be in the home of the family served.
--Structured group meetings with the "parent educator" and other parents in the program.
--Screening of children's health, such as vision and hearing, and appropriate intervention.
--Drop-in times at local PAT centers, during which parents can ask questions while their children play.
ZERO TO THREE/National Center for Clinical Infant Programs [ Children's Defense Fund Affiliate ]

We need to be cautious about this alarm. We live in a time of social crisis. Such a time calls for renewed political vision. And vision depends on spiritual and religious values. You need not be a member of a church, synagogue, or mosque to appreciate this dependence. In fact, you need not be religious at all. Most people would probably agree that beneath the social, economic, cultural, and political problems we confront lie critical questions concerning our deepest values, that our crisis is also one of the spirit -- deeper than just the turns and twists of secular politics. And anyone who believes that fundamental issues are at stake in our political choices can understand the need for political renewal.
Such renewal will require the spiritual resources of our best moral and religious traditions. In America, that means rediscovering our blipish and Christian biblical traditions as well as learning from Native American spiritualities, appreciating the insights of other faith experiences, and remembering the moral imperatives of the political philosophies that shaped the founding of our nation. All have direct contributions to make in recovering our political ethics.
