means of a satellite feed at the Springfield Bahá’í Centre, Ann

Israel. This is the Bahá’í World Centre. Mount Carmel is also
held sacred by Jews, Christians and Muslims.
The
Bahá’í faith encompasses all the nine revealed religions of the
world. Beliefs include unity, oneness of mankind, equality of the
sexes, investigation of truth, and that science and religion must go
hand in hand.
Mount
Carmel is located in the most turbulent area of the world and is

Need for Revival" and "Contending for the Faith." He
is editor of a newsletter, The Vine and Branches, which is mailed to
Christians in all 50 states and several foreign countries. Pastor
Barnhart has led 23 tours to Israel over the past 30 years.
For
more than 36 years, Pastor Barnhart has served congregations in
Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Minnesota and Florida. In 1979, he was
called as senior pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church of Minnehaha
Falls in Minneapolis.
In
1984, Pastor Barnhart withdrew from the Lutheran Church in America
and united with the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations, a
conservative church body that affirms confessional Lutheranism and
the inerrancy of Scripture. Pastor Barnhart helped to found Living
Word Lutheran Church in Eagan, Minn., in 1985 and served as its
pastor until 1993. Most recently, he has been helping to organize a
new congregation in Melbourne, Fla., where he and his wife, Mary,
now reside. As a parish pastor and evangelist, he has devoted his
life to calling Christians back to the foundational truths of
Scripture. He conducts evangelistic services in churches throughout
the United States and Canada.
Abiding
Word Ministries was organized in 1984 by David and Mary Barnhart
with the purpose of promoting revival and reformation throughout the
church. Abiding Word Ministries endeavors to inform pastors and
laity of social and theological issues now confronting the churches.
They also aid congregations, pastors and laity in withdrawing from
their liberal church bodies and affiliating with conservative,
Bible-believing fellowships.

Niebuhr
family and their theological contributions to be celebrated
[MAY
4, 2001] The
Neibuhr Historic Marker Committee of Lincoln announces celebration
activities on Saturday, June 23, at St. John United Church of
Christ. The date and place were chosen because it was here that the
internationally known theologian, teacher and Christian ethicist
Reinhold Niebuhr was ordained in 1913. Well known for his
theological writings, he was for a time virtually unknown as the
author of the "Serenity Prayer" made popular by the
12-step community and revered by many throughout the world.
The
dedication of the Illinois State Historic Marker will celebrate the
entire Niebuhr family for their contributions to theology and for
their service to the Lincoln area.
For
updates on the plans, call Lincoln Public Library at (217) 732-8878.
