optional priestly celibacy despite strong appeals from the Vatican to cease his campaign or
face ―canonical suspension.‖ He says he traveled to Korea earlier this year ―to join the
many Catholics and Catholic married priests who are in the Unification movement.‖ ...
Milingo, excommunicated in September for consecrating four married men as bishops of the
breakaway African-American [sic] Congregation, said, ―We do not accept this
excommunication and lovingly return it to his Holiness, our beloved Pope Benedict XVI, to ..
.withdraw it and join us in recalling married priests to service once again.‖ Milingo recently
held a conference of his Married Priests Now! Organization in New York attended by 100
married priests as well as by representatives of the American Clergy Leadership Conference,
a UC affiliate.
United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors
The former head of the Clark County (GA) Jail, Brett Hart, has filed a complain with the U.S.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission saying he was fired by Sheriff Ira Edwards, who
is black, because he is white and was investigating possible criminal activity by fellow jailers
who are members of the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors. One of the Nuwaubian jail
officers was apparently corresponding with Nuwaubian leader Dwight Malachi York, now
serving a 135-year sentence following his conviction on child molestation, racketeering, and
tax evasion charges. Hart says he also reprimanded a deputy for giving a prisoner a book
written by York entitled, ―Was Adam Black or White?‖ A grand jury looking into the matter
has called for an independent body to continue the investigation, and the Sheriff promises
to pursue his own inquiry.
Word of Life
The film ―Seven Days That Changed Your Life,‖ made available to the Novosibirsk Centre for
Sectarianism, in Russia, has revealed a camp run by the Christian Evangelical group Word
of Life that forced teenagers to perform ―strange‖ rites and ―wrung‖ money from them,
according to the TV program ―Vesti.‖ A former sect member, who joined while he was
serving in the army in the region, says Word of Life taught followers to abandon earthly
things and totally submit themselves to their pastor. He said he left when pastors began to
press followers for tithes and told them that the more one gave the more one demonstrated
his faith.
Yahweh Ben Yahweh
Black supremacist cult leader Yahweh Ben Yahweh, 70, dying of cancer while living alone
in Miami, has asked for his parole to be terminated in order to ―be able to die with dignity.‖
His lawyers say that keeping him under constant supervision, even as death is immanent, is
worsening his disease.
