North Dakota Pipeline vs. James Botsford SHARE
I reflected on those green cards, wondering about the citizens of North Dakota who were summoned to this jury trial. What would constitute their moral and political makeup? Would they be typical "salt-of-the-earth" Midwestern farmers, businessmen and women, students, doctors, or retired people who just wanted to enjoy the August summer day?

Can Social Networking Bridge Differences Through Faith? SHARE
Three years ago or more, I am not certain, I was on an Airbus returning from Congo. It was a painfully long flight, following a painful time in the Kivus. During the course of the flight, I made eye contact several times with an imposing African man who was sitting two rows up and to the right of me, both of us in aisle seats, so we walked past each other on several occasions.

How Much Focus on Political Shenanigans is Enough? Where is Our Common Humanity SHARE
Africa thrives on the bonds of community, village and family, and while I am here people they take me into their homes and hearts and are genuinely concerned about a strange entity called a hurricane that threatens their friend's extended family. The African worldview (white and black alike) includes the basic concept that we are all spiritually connected.

There is a guy named Stephen Webb in South Carolina who turned dreams into reality and created an Indie radio station that has taken off like a rocket world-wide. More about him in the future, but I don't want this interview to be missed.

The Hand of a Dead Congolese Child Waving SHARE
How does one assimilate a number as hideous as 45,000 souls departing this world per month in the Democratic Republic of Congo? To make matters worse, children are only 19 percent of the DRC's population, but they make up half of the non-combat related deaths. DRC is one of eleven countries where a full 20 percent of children die before the age of five.

A United Nations diplomat told me several weeks ago that she thought the Virungas had about two years before the ecosystem collapses. I think it may have happened already.

Livestock Gift Charities Do Not Help Poor Nations SHARE
LONDON-Sixty years after Heifer International founder Dan West pioneered the idea of soliciting donations to give livestock to poor families in disadvantaged parts of the world, criticism of the practice at last cracked major mainstream news media during the pre-Christmas 2006 peak giving season. Even Oprah does not escape criticism of her support for Heifer International by the Massachusetts Animal Rights Coalition.

Humanitarian Crisis in Gorilla Habitat SHARE
While world media has been wringing its hands over inconclusive studies about the Ebola virus in lowland gorilla populations, the brave rangers who have been the first line of defense for the mountain gorilla have been caught in the middle of clashes between the Dissident General Laurant Nkunda and the FARDC near Jomba, DRC. The rangers and their families had to evacuate and many of them sought refuge in Uganda for nearly a week.
