To the Editor: Thank you for an excellent, thoroughly researched article “Unfinished Business For the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) published on 15 March 2011. My family has been intimately involved in the Cornerstone Ministries Investments (CMI) debacle, at many…
10 February 2011 marked the third anniversary of the Cornerstone Ministries Investments (CMI) Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing in the United States Bankruptcy Court....Perhaps the saddest aspect of this financial, fiduciary, and ethical debacle, is the fact that in the early 1990’s, the PCA General Assembly, as the supreme church court of the PCA, had the facts and the means at their disposal to bring to light the interest-conflicted and fiduciarily-irresponsible mess that was the eight not-for-profit and twelve for-profit corporations that listed 1852 Century Place, Atlanta, Georgia, as their mailing address, sharing the address with the early 1990’s PCA headquarters....
"I am trying to understand those Muslims, both here in the U.S. and abroad, who actively seek the destruction of America....Here at home, the threat is posed by the Muslim Brotherhood and its organizational arms, such as the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America, and the various Muslim student associations....[The] Muslim Brotherhood Strategic Memorandum on North American Affairs...[describes] "establishing an effective and a stable Islamic Movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood which adopts Muslims’ causes domestically and globally....[through] a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.""

“I was a stranger and you invited me in . . .”
Those words haunted my heart as I stared into the face of a woman who had fled an abuser, moved into a temporary safe home and searched for a long-term solution.
In the article, Radical Hospitality, Inviting the Stranger Into Your Home, I share my family’s experience with Marcia Mitchell, a 29-year-old African American woman whom we invited to live with us. We grew to love this stranger who learned to call my husband and me, “Mom” and “Dad.”
The economic downturn continues to put a stranglehold on the poor. Psalm 12:5 says, “Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”
Can God use a Christian family to restore hope by offering a place of safety?
This story will inspire and challenge you to rethink God’s call to hospitality in bold new ways.
