Churches Prepare for Hurricane Earl

SWAN QUARTER, N.C. (AP) _ Pastors of the only two churches on Ocracoke Island have evacuated as Hurricane Earl threatens the North Carolina coast.

The Rev. Ivey Belch of Ocracoke Assembly of God says he and the island’s Methodist minister were on the same ferry to the mainland, and they joked that other islanders could view their departure as ominous.

Belch says people have asked how he can pray that the storm will miss Ocracoke, but evacuate anyway.

He responds that while the Bible says faith is believing what you can’t see, “stupidity is staying when you’re seeing, and not believing it.”

KHARTOUM (ChristianPost.Com) – An aid worker with Samaritan’s Purse has been released in Sudan after being held hostage for 105 days. 35-year old Flavia Wagner is exhausted but in good health. She’s now in Khartoum and looking forward to being reunited with her family in the United States. In May, Wagner and a Sudanese driver were abducted after their two-vehicle convoy was stopped by eight armed men in Sudan’s Darfur region. Wagner was part of a ten member team engaged in educational assessments in local communities in the Darfur region. Franklin Graham told the Christian Post, “We thank God that Flavia is safe and free…People around the world have been praying for her safety and her release. Now those prayers have been answered.”

InterVarsity Reacts to Court Decision

MADISON, Wisc. (AP) _ The president of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship USA says leaders of its 860 campus chapters must still be Christians and live according to biblical standards.

Alec Hill says that won’t change, despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s June ruling against the Christian Legal Society. The justices ruled that a law school in San Francisco can deny recognition to a CLS chapter that won’t let non-Christians or gays become leaders, even though any student can join.

Hill says InterVarsity Christian Fellowship welcomes students regardless of their faith. But if those students were to elect a non-Christian chapter leader, Hill says InterVarsity would have to suspend its affiliation with that chapter.

He hopes campus recognition won’t be an issue this school year, so that IVCF can extend the same welcome as other student groups to incoming freshmen.
