'Enraging': Writer slams evangelicals for silence on gutting program to combat AIDS in Africa
MSNBC· 2025-07-09 13:51
Program Impact & Criticism - PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) has saved 26 million lives since 2003 [3] - The potential dismantling of PEPFAR could lead to over 3 million deaths by the end of the decade, and the shuttering of USAD (United States Agency for International Development) could result in 14 million deaths [5] - The executive order 14169 led to the deaths of more than 80,000 people [5] - The program was considered efficient, accountable, and had bipartisan support [3][4] Evangelical Response - The silence of evangelicals regarding the diminishing of PEPFAR is a central point of concern [6] - Some pastors were unaware of the situation, while others cited focus on local ministries or fear of politicizing the church as reasons for their silence [10][11][12] - The lack of widespread evangelical outcry contrasts sharply with the swift backlash against World Vision's policy change regarding same-sex couple employment [14][15] Ethical & Moral Implications - The decision to cut programs that save lives is viewed as a clear violation of Jesus's teachings [7][8][13] - The act is described as intentionally malicious and cruel, especially considering the program's relatively small cost to the US government [4][6] - The situation is framed as a moral test for the evangelical community [15]

What ripples will your pebble make? | Celia Emmot | TEDxBrighton
TEDx Talks· 2025-07-02 16:37
[Music] Good morning everybody. I'd like to introduce you to my pebble. This pebble is a funny size.It's very thin, not much color. But if I drop it in a pond of rippling water, the ripples far exceed the size of this pebble. Our lives are the same.When we take an action, the action we take, however great or small, far exceeds our immediate circle. Today, I'd like to take a moment to share when I and others around me have thrown a pebble into the waters of our society and brought about some positive change. ...
Humanitarian doctor describes treating children in Gaza
NBC News· 2025-07-01 21:15
What is it like to go there and treat these kids knowing they can't leave but knowing that you can. It's heartbreaking. I was there when the first evacuation from Kunas happened.There was a line of cars 5 kilometers long. But what caught me the most was that I was walking past a garbage dump and there was a family of maybe six, seven, eight that were looking in that garbage dump. And for a moment I thought they were looking to try to throw stuff, you know, trying to dispose of stuff because there's been not ...

The Nick unit in Nasser Hospital in Gaza. Ya is just 4 days old, born premature, suffering liver failure, and totally reliant on formula, which is in short supply. We're relying on the supplies that we have extremely limited.They're rationing every day. Doctors here, including several visiting American volunteers, say Gazins are starving because Israel, which controls all access to Gaza, only lets in a trickle of food and that getting to it can be deadly. It's a common term. It's a death trap. It's a slaugh ...
