Hot Mormon Muffins Calendar

Hot Mormon Muffins Calendar – Hot Mormon Muffins: A Taste of Motherhood features 12 Mormon mothers in vintage pinup picture poses. As the name suggests, each month includes a muffin recipe.

It is a similar kind of calendar like “Men on a Mission” in which 12 male missionaries were featured who doffed their signatures on white shirts.

A spokesman for the calendar said that the calendar is designed to shake up stereotypes that paint Mormons as “stuffy or hyper-conservative and mothers in particular as homemakers from another era.”

“For Mormons, the most holy calling next to missionary work is motherhood,” the spokesman said. “But they’re not all the subservient housewives that people think they are.”

Central Philippine University

Central Philippine University is a non-stock, non-profit Christian institution of higher learning, where a well-rounded program of education is offered under influences that strengthen faith and build up character. It was founded in 1905 as the Jaro Industrial School by missionaries of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. It started as an elementary vocational school for poor boys who worked for their board and tuition.

From the founding of the school, Filipinos were gradually given larger responsibilities in its administration. In 1966, the first Filipino president. Dr. Rex D. Drilon, was elected; and in 1968 the entire university property - land, buildings and equipment - was turned over by the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society to the Filipino Corporation of CPU

Dominican School, Manila

Dominican School, Manila was founded in 1958 by the Sisters of the Congregation of the Religious Missionaries of St. Domini. The school started with 79 boys and girls in the kindergarten and now caters to students of primary and secondary levels, with a population of 2,040. After many years of faithful service to the community, Dominican School can now boast of a seven-storey building with well-equipped facilities.

Through the years, Dominican School has obviously grown strong and has gained grounds. Thus, it has all the reasons to give thanks to the Almighty.

Perhaps, it is the greatest gift and legacy that the administration will leave to its present and future students.

Colonial Bridges Built During the American Regime II

Bridge building in the country is integral to the development of communities. It helps in the opening up of communities to various forms of land transport allowing thus the development of trade and relations between once distant and detached areas. The early history of bridge building was attributed to both the Spanish missionaries and conquistadors. During the early period of American rule, the Bureau of Public Works was created to initiate further the task of linking the Philippines together with spans that for some still serve the commuting public. The bridges highlight an architectural and engineering form that has served nobly the interest of the country.

Fights over Mother Theresa´s Last Resting Place

clipper's remarks: India claims Mother Theresa as a citizen although she was born in Albania.

Clip Source: news.bbc.co.uk

India has rejected a demand by the Albanian government for the return of the remains of Nobel laureate Mother Teresa, buried in the city of Calcutta.

"Mother Teresa was an Indian citizen and she is resting in her own country, her own land," Foreign Ministry spokesman Vishnu Prakash said.

The ethnic Albanian nun, who was known as the "Saint of the Gutters" for her work among the poor of Calcutta, was given Indian citizenship in 1951.

After her death in September 1997, Mother Teresa was buried at the Calcutta headquarters of the Missionaries of Charity (MoC), which is now a pilgrimage site.

She took the name of Teresa on taking her vows as a nun in 1931 and in 1950 established the order which runs homes for abandoned children, the elderly and those suffering from leprosy and Aids.

She was beatified - the first stage in becoming a saint - in 2002 by Pope John Paul II. It was done in record time in the modern era.

Fr Michael Sinnott
79-year-old taken from home

A 79-year-old Irish priest has been kidnapped in a troubled southern region of the Philippines.

Father Michael Sinnott, from Barntown in Co Wexford, was snatched by six gunmen who stormed his residence near the southern city of Pagadian.

It is understood he is a member of the Missionaries of St Columban.

No one has claimed responsibility for the abduction, although previous kidnappings targeting foreign missionaries and tourists have been blamed on the al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf group.

Fr Sinnott is the third Irish priest to be kidnapped in the area.

In 1997, Fr Des Hartford was held by Islamic militants for 12 days, and in 2001 a priest from Waterford, Fr Rufus Hally, was shot dead during an attempted abduction.

Regional police commander Chief Superintendent Angelo Sumlao said the gunmen took Fr Sinnott to a waiting van, which was later found abandoned and torched in a coastal area.

"We do not want word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population"

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:42:39 GMT

clipped by: foxyarse
clipper's remarks: Margaret Sanger's beliefs about social works of charity are revealing: She criticized the success-- not failure-- of charity... She called for the halt to the medical care being given to slum mothers, and decried the expense to the taxpayers of monies being spent on the deaf, blind and dependent. She condemned foreign missionaries for reducing the infant mortality rates in developing countries, and declared charity to be more evil than for the assistance it provided to the poor and needy. Sanger's thinking moved to fascism in an elitist attitude that presumes to judge who is worthy to live and to die.

"Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America. 78% of their clinics are in minority communities. Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America. Are they being targeted? Isn't that genocide? We are the only minority in America that is on the decline in population. If the current trend continues, by 2038 the black vote will be insignificant.

1879 - 1966

"We do not want word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population"

Who spoke these words? The Klu Klux Klan? Aryan Nations? The National Socialist (Nazi) Party? These are the words of Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood, the largest provider and promoter of legal abortion in the United States.

Abortion clinics were originally set up with the intention of slowing the population growth of Afro-Americans and others racial groups considered mentally or otherwise inferior.

Margaret Sanger's Planned Parenthood is the major force behind the abortion and pro-choice/abortion movement in America. If you are proud of being pro-choice, you should know more about the most responsible person for the pro-abortion-rights movement and abortion industry in the 20th century.

Mother Teresa suffered a heart attack in Rome in 1983, while visiting Pope John Paul II. After a second attack in 1989, she received an artificial pacemaker. In 1991, after a battle with pneumonia while in Mexico, she suffered further heart problems. She offered to resign her position as head of the Missionaries of Charity. But the nuns of the order, in a secret ballot, voted for her to stay. Mother Teresa agreed to continue her work as head of the order.

Mother Teresa (August 26, 1910 – September 5, 1997), born Agnesë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu (pronounced [aɡnɛs ɡɔnˈdʒa bɔˈjadʒju]), was an Albanian^[2]^[3] Roman Catholic nun with Indian citizenship^[4] who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata (Calcutta), India in 1950. For over 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries.

When two missionaries got lost on the remote Mount Victoria in the central Philippines in 2000, no one could have guessed that their misadventure would lead to the discovery of a bizarre but majestic variety of pitcher plant. The missionaries were rescued after 13 days, and their tales of the strange vegetation they encountered would later lead botanists Alastair Robinson and Volker Heinrich and nature explorer Stewart McPherson back to Mount Victoria on a two-month expedition. The wonders they found there made the journey more than worth their time.

An estimated 2 million folks give it a shot every day.

Religion surfers, if you will.

Seeking spiritual guidance through search engines is so popular these days that a legion of online missionaries is being assembled in Orlando to answer the cyber-prayers.

Global Media Outreach — a ministry of Orlando-based Campus Crusade for Christ International — has formed a partnership with Northland, A Church Distributed, in Longwood to recruit and train 5,000 online missionaries by 2010, reports the Orlando Sentinel.

Global Media has more than 90 Web sites aimed at search-engine seekers of God.

Type in a query about Jesus, and WhoIeJesus-Re ally.com shows up in the results.

Type in a question about God's existence and Jesus2020.com shows up as a sponsored link.

There are religion-based Web sites for teenagers, Marines, soccer players, Boston Red Sox fans, and The DaVinci Code.

Another victory for Google. The answer to so many people's prayers.

A carnivorous pitcher plant that eats rats and insects has been discovered in the Philippines and named after Sir David Attenborough.

The plant is among the largest of all pitchers and is believed to be the largest meat-eating shrub, dissolving rats with acid-like enzymes.

They were inspired to search for the plant after word that it is existed came from two Christian missionaries who described seeing a large carnivorous pitcher in 2000 after they climbed the mountain.

Mr McPherson, of Poole Dorset, said: "The plant produces spectacular traps which catch not only insects, but also rodents. It is remarkable that it remained undiscovered until the 21st century."

They decided to name the plant Nepenthes attenboroughii, after the wildlife broadcaster Sir David.

"My team and I named it in honour of Sir David whose work has inspired generations toward a better understanding of the beauty and diversity of the natural world," added Mr McPherson.

clipper's remarks: POOLE, England, Aug. 17 (UPI) -- British scientists said they have discovered a plant in the Philippines that feeds by luring and consuming rats.

Botanists Stewart McPherson and Alastair Robinson said the plant, dubbed Nepenthes attenboroughii after legendary wildlife broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, consumes "whole rats" by luring them into its mouth and dissolving them with acid-like enzymes.

"The plant produces spectacular traps which catch not only insects, but also rodents," McPherson told The Sun in an exclusive interview. "It is remarkable that it remained undiscovered until the 21st century."

McPherson and Robinson said their team found the plant on Mount Victoria after hearing accounts of the shrub's eating habits from missionaries.

"My team and I named it in honor of Sir David whose work has inspired generations toward a better understanding of the beauty and diversity of the natural world," McPherson said.
