Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord,    for he is highly exalted.Both horse and driver    he has hurled into the sea.4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army    he has hurled into the sea.The best of Pharaoh’s officers    are drowned in the Red Sea.[b]10 But you blew with your breath,    and the sea covered them.They sank like lead    in the mighty waters.14 The nations will hear and tremble;    anguish will grip the people of Philistia. 19 When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen[e] went into the sea, the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground. 20 Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing. 21 Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord,    for he is highly exalted.Both horse and driver    he has hurled into the sea.”

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.5. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.6. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. —Matthew 5:38–5:42 KJV

Wesley The Church’s one foundation, Is Jesus Christ her Lord,She is His new creation, elect from every nation,Yet one o’er all the earth; Her charter of salvation,One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy Name she blesses,Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses,With every grace endued. Mid toil and tribulation,And tumult of her war, She waits the consummationOf peace forevermore; Till, with the vision glorious,Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victoriousShall be the Church at rest. Samuel J. Stone Samuel S. Wesley The Impact of Liberation theory and politics for peace, progress and social justice

  21. Details of liberation theology and politics • Liberation theology[1] is a political movement in Roman Catholic theology which interprets the teachings of Jesus Christ in relation to a liberation from unjust economic, political, or social conditions. • The term was coined in 1971 by the Peruvian priest Gustavo Gutiérrez, who wrote one of the movement's most famous books, A Theology of Liberation

  24. Delaying the Effects of Aging • The process of aging may be inevitable, however one may potentially delay the effects and severity of this progression. While there is no consensus of efficacy, the following are reported as delaying cognitive decline: • High level of education[12][45] • Physical exercise[46] • Staying intellectually engaged, i.e. reading and mental activities (such as crossword puzzles)[47] • Maintaining social and friendship networks[48] • Maintaining a healthy diet, including omega-3 fatty acids, and protective antioxidants.[11] • "Super Agers"[edit] • Longitudinal research studies have recently conducted genetic analyses of centenarians and their offspring to identify biomarkers as protective factors against the negative effects of aging. In particular, the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene is linked to prevention of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.[49] Specifically, valine CETP homozygotes but not heterozygotes experienced a relative 51% less decline in memory compared to a reference group after adjusting for demographic factors and APOE status.

Niebuhrhad ‘eyes to see’ black suffering, but I believe he lacked ‘the heart to feel’ it as his own” (41). meanwhile, the pain and suffering of being black in America was occurring only blocks away in the streets of Harlem. Cone compares Niebuhr with Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who famously became involved at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. Again, of the two theologians—Bonhoefferand Niebuhr—one died on the cross and one did not. [ “It is one thing to teach theology (like Niebuhr, Barth, Tillich and most theologians) in the same environs of a classroom and quite another to live one’s theology in a situation that entails the risk of one’s life” (70). Tillich stood up to Hitler and Nazism,
