Are “designer babies” here?

It sounds like the plot of a bad science-fiction movie: a renegade scientist violates global moral standards to engineer a new breed of humans. But that’s what has happened, if a Chinese scientist is to be believed.

He Jiankui, a researcher with a PhD from Rice University and postdoctoral training at Stanford, announced this week that he has created the world’s first genetically edited babies. The twin girls were born this month.

However, Dr. He did not publish his research in any journal or share any evidence or data to prove his claims. He spoke today at the Human Genome Editing Summit in Hong Kong, where he announced another “potential pregnancy” involved in his study. He said he felt “proud” of his work in the face of nearly universal condemnation.

“I think that’s completely insane”

Dr. He states that the father of the twins has HIV. As a result, Dr. He used a genetic editing technique known as CRISPR/Cas-9 to disable the embryos’ CCR5 gene to make them resistant to HIV infection.

However, there are other ways to produce embryos from HIV-infected men without altering their genes. An HIV expert said that about half of HIV strains don’t need the gene Dr. He edited to infect patients, meaning the immunity he tried to confer is not complete. A gene-editing expert warned that people without normal CCR5 genes face higher risks of getting certain other viruses such as West Nile and of dying from the flu.

Many scientists are appalled by this announcement. “I think that’s completely insane,” said Shoukhrat Mitalipov, director of the Center for Embryonic Cell and Gene Therapy at Oregon Health and Science University.

“Modifying human embryos at this stage in our understanding of biology is clearly unethical,” said Christopher Anderson, a bioengineering professor at UC Berkeley. “We do not yet understand the full biological consequences of these actions even in small animals.”

A group of 122 Chinese scientists called Dr. He’s actions “crazy” and described…

‘Virgin Mary’s veil’ to be showcased at north Wales church

The silk relic was donated to St Peter’s Church in Pwllheli, Gwynedd, by a woman with terminal cancer who used to regularly attend the church.

Fr Huw Bryant, associate priest in Bro Enlli ministry area explained in a Facebook post that the woman who donated it was actually a pilgrim.

 

“Not many people know that Pwllheli was once an important pilgrimage site – we tend to focus more on the ancient pilgrimage route to Ynys Enlli (Bardsey).

“But Hywel Rheinallt wrote in the 15th Century of hundreds of people coming on Mary’s feast day and says “this holy town is Mary’s ground.” Hywel Rheinallt was a bard.

Fr Bryant said she asked “for the strength to accept her death and find peace”.

He continued: “This she received and in thanksgiving organised a gift to the shrine upon her death, a piece of the veil worn by the Blessed Virgin Mary at the foot of the Christ’s cross.”

It is thought the 6m-long silk veil was first transferred from Jerusalem to Constantinople – modern day Istanbul.

It was then given to the Emperor Charlemagne in 876 AD by the Byzantine Empress Irene, but it is currently kept in the cathedral in Chartres in France.

Officials claim the piece given to St Peter’s Church was removed from the full veil in 1829 and sealed with Spanish wax, bearing the imprint of the coat of arms of Fr Giuseppe Mancini, Archbishop of Sienna.

Key Christian leader in NI peace process says he’s anxious about Brexit impact

The Methodist minister was one of two independent witnesses who oversaw the decommissioning of IRA arms in 2005.

This week, Rev Good was one of a number of people chosen to meet Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday as she took part in round table discussions over Brexit.

He said there had been “lots of different thoughts” around his table, but all were agreed that reconciliation was “desperately” needed whatever the outcome of the House of Commons vote over Mrs May’s proposed withdrawal deal.

“We are in a very, very divided situation at the moment, somebody said that it was the worst thing since Suez, we were dealing then with an external foe, here in the situation at the moment, it’s a bit like a civil war,” he said.

“We are very much at loggerheads with each other… whatever way this vote goes, it will not bring people together.”

In August, Rev Good made a public appeal to Democratic Unionist leader Arlene Foster and Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O’Neill to “come together and do whatever it will take” to restore the powersharing government in Northern Ireland.

“Some of us were pleading, whatever way the vote goes, that there would be an all-party coming together, be it in a commission or a body of people who represent the different sides of this debate and are more representative of the nation, so it doesn’t continue to be a partisan debate.”

Rev Good said…

Education in rural communities should be protected, says C of E

Countryside schools need a strategy to keep them funded and open, the Bishop of Ely has said.

Many rural schools are incredibly small, with staff and resources shortages.

In March, the Church of England produced a report on the state of rural schools and concluded that groups of small schools need to come together to help each other achieve “outstanding” in Ofsted inspections in their specific contexts, saying success for a city school looks very different to success for a school in the country. 

They also said that formal groupings would benefit the recruitment and retention of highly skilled staff in the area.

Stephen Conway, the Church of England’s lead bishop for Education and Bishop of Ely, has now called for a cross-Government rural strategy.

Bishop Stephen said: “We have been reassured that the Government has a presumption against the closure of rural schools, which is a positive foundation for the future.”

He added that he knew countryside communities were trying to collaborate to think about how technology can help rural schools.

“However, it is clear that these steps alone are insufficient, and an overarching rural strategy is now required for the issues facing our countryside communities to be seen together,” he said.

“Such an approach is needed not only to give longer-term stability to our education provision, but for housing, infrastructure, broadband,…

Fast food chain inspired by Christian values is barred from campus

Rider University in the US state of Jersey barred Chick-fil-A on the basis of its “widely perceived… opposition to the LGBTQ+ community”.

But the company, which is closed for business on Sundays, said its branches “welcome everyone” and it has “no policy of discrimination”.

 

A spokesperson told CBS News: “Chick-fil-A is a restaurant company focused on food, service and hospitality, and our restaurants and licensed locations on college campuses welcome everyone

“We have no policy of discrimination against any group, and we do not have a political or social agenda.”

The chief executive of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy, drew criticism in 2012 when he said the company supported the “biblical definition of the family unit”.

Mr Cathy’s father, Samuel Truett Cathy, a Baptist, founded the business in 1946.

Some weeks ago, Rider University undertook a survey to ask students which new restaurant franchise they would like to see open on campus.

It later withdrew Chick-fil-A as one an options in the interests of creating a “welcoming environment”.

In a statement, President Gregory Dell’Omo said: “We sought to be thoughtful and fair in balancing the desire to provide satisfying options for a new on-campus restaurant while also being faithful to our values of inclusion.

“We understand that some…

Major landmarks to turn red for religious persecution ‘martyrs’

Other landmarks across the UK and around the world including churches, schools and universities are also set to join the annual Red Wednesday campaign.

Mervyn Thomas, the chief executive of Christians Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), one of the organisers, told Premier: “The red is [symbolic] for the blood of the martyrs.

 

“What we’re trying to do on Red Wednesday is let the world known that we’re standing with them in solidarity and in prayer.”

Red Wednesday has been spearheaded by the Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), which estimates 61 per cent of the global population live in countries where religious freedoms are not respected.

 

Thousands of people are set to take part – some by expressing their solidarity on social media or wearing a red item of clothing.

Mervyn Thomas from CSW continued: “Red Wednesday is a time for us to remember those who are persecuted for their faith around the world – whether that’s Christians or those of other faiths as well.”

Joyce Meyer Devotional 28 November 2018 — Determine Your Priorities

Topic: Determine Your Priorities [Joyce Meyer Devotional 28 November 2018]

The best way to determine if God is first in your life is to slow down and ask yourself some simple questions: What do I think about the most? What do I pray and talk about the most? What do I do with my time?

You see, we always make time for what we really want to do—no matter how busy we are. If you want to spend time with God, then you are going to make Him a priority.

Ask the Holy Spirit to show you where your priorities are out of line. Then allow His conviction to motivate you to seek a deeper relationship with God. It is God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, Who will give you the ability to adjust your lifestyle and bring it in line with the Word (see 1 Thessalonians 5:23 NLT).

If you truly want Him to, He will enable you to put God first in your thoughts, conversations, and actions. You may need to make some changes in your schedule, but they will be ones that will produce good results.

Prayer Starter: Lord, I want to put You first in my life. Help me to prioritize my schedule and make the necessary changes to spend more time with You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

MFM Daily Devotional 28 November 2018 – Rejecting The Tail Anointing

MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 28 November 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Rejecting The Tail Anointing

TOPIC: Rejecting The Tail Anointing (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 28 November 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Deuteronomy 28:11-14

MEMORY VERSE: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. – 3 John 2

The MESSAGE:

To reject is to say ‘NO’ and refuse to have, take and recognise. It is to refuse to grant or accept and to discard as useless. Anointing is power and it is the oil for empowerment. When anointing comes upon a person, power comes on that person. With ease, things can be done, and what could not be done ordinarily would be achieved without stress. Godly anointing can be described as anointing to be the head and while the agenda of the devil is to keep us at the tail region. The Scripture mentions two positions- the head and the tail. It means God knows there is an “anointing” not from Him, called the tail anointing. I pray that as you go today, you shall always be the head and not the tail. He specifically mentioned that if you obey, you would be the head and not the tail. Anointing of the tail falls on an individual when he disobeys God. It is this tail anointing that we are called to deny from operating in our lives.

Anointing of the tail causes negative activities around the victim, makes it easy for the victim to fail and miss divine blessings. The victim will always be the last to receive any benefit and may not even receive at all. As a student, one with the anointing of the tail will always take the last position in class. Even among a group of prosperous friends, the person with the anointing of the tail will achieve the least. The consequences of the anointing of the tail include: poverty, lack of spiritual growth, absence of positive achievement, lack of profit, absence of helpers, praying with little or no results, focusing on wrong things, disaster, affliction and frustration which may eventually lead to death.

As a believer ordained to be an overcomer, you have to reject the anointing of the tail, especially if any of the consequences is manifesting in your life right now. For it to be rejected, you need to make up your mind to obey God in all things and be available for God’s use.

When one is operating under the anointing of the tail, everything will go wrong for such a person. Anytime the person tries to do anything good or gets a thing that will move his life forward, he loses it. The anointing of the tail is the work of the devil. As Jesus Christ said that the work of the devil is to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus brings life in abundance. If there are manifestations of anointing of the tail in any area of your life, call on God that can transform.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
WORK HARD AND BECOME A LEADER, BE LAZY AND BECOME A SLAVE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LADDER.

PROPHETIC WORD:
You shall lead, you shall shine, and you shall not be enslaved in the valley of life.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. Powers enforcing the anointing of the tail upon my life, die, in the name of Jesus.
2. Anointing of the tail operating in my life, dry up, in the name of Jesus.
3. If my head lacks anointing of ease, O Lord, release it upon me anew, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING
4. If my head is dry, Holy Spirit, my head is available, anoint me tonight, in the name of Jesus.
5. Inherited destiny killers, always dragging me to tail region, die, in the name of Jesus.
6. Lay your hands on your head and declare, “my head, receive anointing of ease and move me forward”, in the name of Jesus.
