The Wittenberg 2017 Congress, a unique global gathering of more than 750 Christian leaders, will be held Oct. 30-Nov.1, 2017, in conjunction with the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s 95 Theses. Hosted by the Global Church Network, the summit will feature presentations from over 30 cutting-edge Christian speakers.
“This once-in-a-lifetime event will gather leaders from every major Christian denomination to synergize efforts to exponentially grow the size of the Global Church,” said Dr. Leonard Sweet, co-host of the Wittenberg 2017 Congress. “Those who attend will be renewed in their heart for God’s Word, revived in their mind toward the body of Christ and released to go out and complete Finish 2030 in our lifetime.”
The Wittenberg 2017 Congress will convene at the five-star Maritim Berlin Hotel in Berlin for the first five sessions. On November 1, the summit’s closing session will be held at Castle Church in Wittenberg, the historic place where Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door and where he was later buried.
“It was on Nov. 1, 1517, when people arrived at the church for All Saints’ Day, that the 95 Theses were first read and contemplated by the public,” said Dr. James O. Davis, Founder/President of the Global Church Network and co-host of The Wittenberg 2017 Congress. “It’s fitting that the last day of our Congress will take place at Castle Church on the 500th anniversary of the first day of the Protestant Reformation.”

In Victory for Trump, Supreme Court Dismisses Travel Ban Case
The Supreme Court dismissed a major challenge to President Trump’s travel ban on majority-Muslim countries because it has been replaced by a new version, sending the controversy back to the starting block.
The ruling Tuesday (Oct. 10) is a victory for the Trump administration, which had asked the court to drop the case after Trump signed a proclamation Sept. 24 that replaced the temporary travel ban on six nations with a new, indefinite ban affecting eight countries. That action made the court challenge moot, the justices ruled.
“We express no view on the merits,” the justices said in a one-page order.
The decision effectively wipes the record clean in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, one of two federal appeals courts that had struck down major portions of Trump’s travel ban. That case began in Maryland.
A separate case from the 9th Circuit, based in California, remains pending because it includes a ban on refugees worldwide that won’t expire until later this month. But the Supreme Court is likely to ditch that case, which began in Hawaii, as well.
The challengers in both cases already have renewed their lawsuits in the lower courts, starting the legal process anew. In Maryland, a federal district court has scheduled a new hearing for next week.
But the new travel ban and the Supreme Court’s order vacating the 4th Circuit appeals court judgment puts the administration in a somewhat stronger position, at least for now.
The 4th Circuit case was brought by the International Refugee Assistance Project, which argued that banning travel from six majority-Muslim countries violated the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of religion.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented from the court’s action. She would have dismissed the case but in a way that would have preserved the appeals court ruling against the ban, rather than vacating it.
Under its original schedule, the court would have heard the case Tuesday, but the court had delayed oral argument after Trump replaced his earlier order. The new version followed a three-month review of immigration procedures.
The latest travel ban targets five countries included in two previous versions — Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen — as well as Chad, North Korea and Venezuela. Unlike the earlier bans, it treats some countries and types of travelers, such as students or tourists, differently than others.
The administration told the justices last week that the new ban is “based on detailed findings regarding the national security interests of the United States that were reached after a thorough, worldwide review and extensive consultation.”
The ban’s challengers argued that the case against the last version should go forward because many of the same travelers and their families are adversely affected — not just for 90 days, but indefinitely.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which brought the 4th Circuit challenge on behalf of the refugee group, had said charges of anti-Muslim discrimination still applied “despite some new window dressing” — a reference to the addition of North Korea and Venezuela.
Hawaii, which brought the 9th Circuit challenge, warned the justices that elements of the earlier ban still could be revived, since Trump has said he wants a “much tougher version.”

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
A kidnapped U.S.-Canadian couple and their three children born in captivity have been freed in Pakistan, nearly five years after the couple was abducted in neighboring Afghanistan, Pakistani and U.S. officials said on Thursday.
American Caitlan Coleman and her Canadian husband, Joshua Boyle, were kidnapped while backpacking in Afghanistan in 2012 by the Taliban-allied Haqqani network, which the United States has long accused Pakistan of failing to fight.
According to Philly Mag, the couple told friends and family in an email: “Only God knows exactly where it will lead or what all can be accomplished, seen, experienced or learned while we travel. So we put ourselves in His hands.”
U.S. President Donald Trump, who has been highly critical of Islamabad, praised Pakistan’s cooperation with the U.S. government over the freeing of the hostages, saying it represented “a positive moment” for U.S.-Pakistan relations.
“The Pakistani government’s cooperation is a sign that it is honoring America’s wishes for it to do more to provide security in the region,” Trump said in a statement.
Trump’s chief of staff, John Kelly, drove home the dire conditions that the family had been subjected to during its long captivity.
“They’ve been essentially living in a hole for five years,” Kelly said. “That’s the kind of people we’re dealing with over there.”
It was unclear how precisely the Pakistani military secured the family’s release, which came after the United States shared intelligence about the hostages’ location. It was also unclear when the family would return home.
Two U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that the U.S. military had been ready to fly the family out of the country but said Boyle, who is Canadian, had refused to board the aircraft.
Boyle had once been married to the sister of an inmate at the U.S. military detention center at Guantanamo Bay. The marriage ended and the inmate was later released to Canada. CNN reported he might fear some kind of U.S. legal prosecution.
As of Thursday evening, there was no indication the family had left Pakistan. Boyle’s parents said he told them by phone he would see them in a couple of days.
“So we’re waiting for that,” his mother, Linda Boyle, said in a video posted on the Toronto Star newspaper’s website.
The U.S. officials expressed hope that the hostages’ freedom could represent a turning point in relations between Pakistan and the United States, uneasy allies in fighting Taliban and other Islamist extremists in the region.
In recent days, senior U.S. officials have been more pointed about Islamabad’s alleged ties to militant groups, who are battling against U.S. and U.S.-backed forces in the 16-year-old war in neighboring Afghanistan. The war is at a stalemate.
Pakistan fiercely denies such ties, and it touted the operation as proof of the strength of the alliance.
“The success underscores the importance of timely intelligence sharing and Pakistan’s continued commitment towards fighting this menace through cooperation between two forces against a common enemy,” a Pakistani army statement said.
Rescue Operation?
Boyle’s father, in the video message, offered his thanks to Pakistani forces “who risked their lives and got all five of ours out safely and rescued.”
The Pakistani army said its forces recovered the hostages after acting on U.S. intelligence about their passage into Pakistan from Afghanistan.
U.S. officials did not immediately confirm a military-style rescue and used far more nuanced language. Kelly, for example, said Pakistani officials “got custody” of the family.
One U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, also said there was no indication that the hostages had been in Afghanistan in the days before they were freed, contrary to the Pakistani account.
The United States believed the hostages were probably held by the Haqqani group in or near its headquarters in northwest Pakistan the entire time, two other U.S. officials said.
Declining to discuss U.S. intelligence in detail that was shared with Pakistan, they said the United States had been tracking cars capable of holding six or more people moving from place to place, which analysts had concluded were suggestive of moving hostages.
One of the officials suspected that at least some of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) must have known about the location of the hostages.
A brief U.S. State Department statement used the word “rescue” to describe efforts by the U.S. and Pakistani governments to secure the hostages’ release.
Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland asked for respect for the family’s privacy and thanked the governments of the United States, Pakistan and Afghanistan for their efforts to win the hostages’ release.
“Joshua, Caitlan, their children and the Boyle and Coleman families have endured a horrible ordeal over the past five years. We stand ready to support them as they begin their healing journey,” Freeland said.
Coleman was pregnant at the time she was kidnapped, and a video released by the Taliban in December showed two sons born while she and her husband were hostages.
Thursday’s statements from Islamabad and Washington were the first mention of a third child.
Some officials said Pakistanis’ motive for freeing the hostages may have been political rather than humanitarian, intended to reduce the tensions ahead of upcoming visits by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.
Tillerson, in a statement, said Trump’s strategy in the region recognized “the important role Pakistan needs to play to bring stability and ultimately peace to the region.”
Last week, Mattis said the United States would try “one more time” to work with Pakistan in Afghanistan before Trump would “take whatever steps are necessary” to change Pakistan’s behavior.

Franklin Graham Shares What Verse Billy Graham Has on Display in His Home
The Rev. Billy Graham is well-advanced in age. His 99th birthday is coming up next month, but as he grows older, the famous evangelist continues to prioritize Scripture.
Recently, the Rev. Franklin Graham, the elder Graham’s son, shared in a Facebook post that his father has a particular Bible verse displayed all over his North Carolina home.
According to ChristianToday.com, the younger Graham called it his father’s life verse. “Still today, my father Billy Graham has a Bible verse pinned up on the wall in his bedroom, printed in VERY large letters. In fact, it’s in the dining room, his bathroom, and several other spots around the house! Back before his 95th birthday, he was working on a sermon based on this key Scripture. It was his passion to memorize it, to saturate his heart and mind with it. He made it his life verse,” Graham wrote in the recent Facebook post.
The verse, Graham continued, is Galatians 6:14, which reads: “But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”
The younger Graham went on to say that this verse is “a great verse for us to live by.”
The elder Graham will be celebrating his 99th birthday on November 7. Although he has slowed down in his old age, his son says he continues to focus on Scripture and also enjoys visits from family members and close friends.

A theologically liberal United Methodist congregation in Ohio is hosting a pro-LGBT event later this month, having sponsored a similar event in the past.
Summit on 16th United Methodist Church, a Columbus-based congregation that belongs to the LGBT activist group Reconciling Ministries Network, will host the “Come Out, Come Out” event on Oct. 26.
“Summit on 16th UMC is proud to present another year of “COME OUT, COME OUT!” as we celebrate coming out day and allow the LGBTQIA+ community to celebrate openly and honestly in a space that is welcoming to all people,” says the Facebook event page.
“We have an open mic for spoken word, song, dance, jokes, story telling, mime, drag, coming out stories, etc. We are thrilled to have some fabulous special guests including: Mikayla Denise (local drag celebrity), Mr. Teddy Martin (International recording artist), Luster Dela Virgion (drag king icon), Michael Hatcher (local soul singer), and many more!”
Neither Summit UMC nor the West Ohio Annual Conference returned comment to The Christian Post for this story by press time.
The UMC Book of Discipline labels homosexuality “incompatible with Christian teaching” and also prohibits certain financial support for LGBT advocacy.
“[The General Council on Finance and Administration] shall be responsible for ensuring that no board, agency, committee, commission, or council shall give United Methodist funds to any gay caucus or group, or otherwise use such funds to promote the acceptance of homosexuality,” notes the Book of Discipline.
John Lomperis, United Methodist staffer with the theologically conservative Institute on Religion and Democracy, told CP that while he believed the event “appears to be against the spirit of the Book of Discipline,” it is “not against the letter.”
“The Book of Discipline specifically requires all clergy to follow biblical standards for sexual self-control, and forbids any United Methodist pastor from performing or any congregation from hosting a same-sex ‘wedding.’ But there is no indication that these specific, narrow rules will be violated at this event,” explained Lomperis.
Describing the West Ohio Annual Conference as “theologically mixed” with both outspoken liberals and evangelicals, Lomperis also told CP that he believed Summit UMC’s event did not properly welcome people.
“Churches should reach out and welcome all people, including self-identified members of the LGBTQ community. But simply ‘welcoming’ people is useless unless we are very clear on what exactly we are welcoming people into,” said Lomperis.
“If it’s not a transformative life of Christian discipleship and accountable biblical community, then the church is failing to be the church.”

Professor Targets Trump Nominee for Religious Beliefs
Raymond Barfield, a professor of pediatrics and Christian philosophy at Duke University, has taken issue with Michael Dourson, President Trump’s nominee for the Environmental Protection Agency’s chemical safety office.
Despite Dourson’s credentials for the position as an environmental health professor in the University of Cincinnati’s College of Medicine and his title as a “board-certified toxicologist with an international reputation for excellence in environmental risk assessment,” Barfield believes Dourson’s Christian faith will negatively interfere with his potential tasks working for the EPA.
In his work with chemical analysis, Dourson has said that he has found evidence that may support the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin–the famed burial cloth said to have been imprinted with Jesus’ face. Barfield took issue with this conclusion and with other aspects of Dourson’s work.
This incident is reminiscent of another incident which occurred when Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders accused Deputy Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget nominee Russell Vought of being unfit for office due to his Christian beliefs.
Sanders took issue with a response Vought had written to the Wheaton College controversy when former Wheaton Professor Larycia Hawkins had said Christians and Muslims serve the “same God.” In that response, Vought wrote: “Muslims do not simply have a deficient theology. They do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ, his Son, and they stand condemned.”
Sanders implied that Vought had made an Islamophobic statement and said, “I would simply say, Mr. Chairman, that this nominee is really not someone who this country is supposed to be about.”
My purpose here is not to throw more stones on the now-disgraced Harvey Weinstein, who is already suffering the consequences of his alleged actions. My purpose is to confront the larger hypocrisy of Hollywood, an industry that has made billions of dollars selling sex, an industry that encourages all kinds of sexploitation.
Let’s put aside the question of whether media giants like NBC initially rejected the Weinstein exposé or whether actors like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were insincere in their statements against him.
Instead, let’s remember that, for years now, we’ve heard about the “casting couch,” slang for sexual favors aspiring actresses would be expected to show Hollywood execs if they wanted to advance in the industry.
Just look at these headlines, with their dates:
May 31, 2011: “Casting Couch Nightmares: What Does It Take to Make It in Hollywood?”
April 23, 2014: “The Dark Side of Hollywood—10 Casting Couch Horror Stories; RadarOnline looks back at the stars who complained of harassment within industry”
June 20, 2014: “12 Celebrities Reveal Their ‘Casting Couch’ Stories”
And then this one, from Oct. 11, 2017, following the revelations about Weinstein: “Women of Hollywood Tell Their Casting Couch Horror Stories.”
One recent article claims that these sexual abuses in the movie industry date back to the early 1920s. Yes, an AP article published in the Japan Times claims that, “Hollywood’s ‘casting couch’ scandals go back at least to 1921.”
The article begins with this: “For anyone thinking the days of the so-called casting couch were long gone, this past week has been eye-opening. The growing list of women directing allegations at Harvey Weinstein suggests they never left Hollywood.”
The point is that the major players in Hollywood have known about these kinds of things for years, yet most looked the other way. Why? It’s part of the business, and you don’t dare challenge or expose the giants. It will destroy your own career if you do!
Not only so, but many have played the game themselves. To point a finger at others is to point four fingers back at themselves. This has been self-evident to me as a complete outsider who has followed this from a great distance. What do the insiders know?
But it gets worse.
Corey Feldman, who became famous as a child actor, has been shouting out for years now that “Pedophilia is Hollywood’s biggest problem.”
A 2016 article in the Daily Mail starts with these bulleted points:
Former child star Corey Feldman said that he was molested repeatedly by men who would pass him and other minors around
He said that when he was 15 he was being abused by a man who was actually employed by his own father at the management company he ran
Reveals that Corey Haim was raped when he was just 11 years old
Feldman says the abuse he and Haim suffered was widely known
Haim would struggle with drugs up until his death in 2010 at the age of 38
When asked why he wouldn’t name names, he said, “unfortunately California conveniently enough has a statute of limitations that prevents that from happening. Because if I were to go and mention anybody’s name, I would be the one that would be in legal problems, and I’m the one that would be sued. We should be talking to the district attorneys and the lawmakers in California, especially because this is where the entertainment industry is, and this is a place where adults have more direct and inappropriate connection with children than probably anywhere else in the world.”
I won’t list the names of major Hollywood execs who have been accused of abusing underage boys in recent years, since these remain allegations at this point. But if Feldman (and others) are to be believed, these abusive practices are still rampant in Hollywood—the same Hollywood that is now condemning Harvey Weinstein with such righteous indignation. Shame on them for their hypocrisy.
But there’s more. Hollywood knows quite well that sex sells, as these representative quotes make clear.
Guinevere Turner (co-screenwriter and actress – American Psycho): People want to see R-rated movies, adults and children alike, and an easy way to get an R-rating is to have sex scenes or nudity. We’d be fooling ourselves if we didn’t think teenagers wanted to see sex. And in creating the taboo, we create frenzy around it.
Papsidera: Look at what just happened with Jessica Biel. She was in Ulee’s Gold, and she was fabulous, but, you know, very few people saw that film, and Seventh Heaven, her TV show, is so sweet and syrupy, she really passed under the radar for a lot of years. So she did the cover of Gear magazine semi-naked. It was an attention-getting moment, and it catapulted her career.
Glenn Rigberg (manager – Rigberg, Roberts & Rugolo): What’s so interesting is when you wander around the agencies and sets in Hollywood right now, there’s this special magazine insert called the Maxim 100, which is pictures of scantily clad models and actresses. And … it’s being used in Hollywood to help cast movies.
Is anyone surprised to read this?
But, once again, it’s easy to point fingers at others. Perhaps the bigger question to ask is this: How many of us who shake our heads in disgust at Harvey Weinstein actually enjoy the sexploitation of the movie industry?
Hollywood, to its lasting shame, is definitely selling sex (and abusing people in the process). The question is: Are we buying it?

USA Today reports that the U.S. will pull out of UNESCO effective next year. According to an official statement released by the State Department: “This decision was not taken lightly, and reflects U.S. concerns with mounting arrears at UNESCO, the need for fundamental reform in the organization, and continuing anti-Israel bias at UNESCO.”
Although this may appear like a major change in world politics, as USA Today notes, it is actually mostly symbolic since the U.S. has not actually funded UNESCO since 2011, after the organization voted to include Palestine.
The history of the U.S.’s involvement with UNESCO has been somewhat tenuous for several decades now. President Reagan withdrew the U.S. from the organization in 1984, but then President George W. Bush brought the U.S. back into the organization in 2002. Funding to UNESCO from the U.S. was cut off under the Obama administration.
A statement from Irina Bokova, the director general of UNESCO said: “At the time when conflicts continue to tear apart societies across the world, it is deeply regrettable for the United States to withdraw from the United Nations agency promoting education for peace and protecting culture under attack.”

Christopher Columbus’ second voyage to the New World was on the same day as the second blood moon of the 1493-1494 Tetrad. (Pixabay/ulrikebohr570)
This week, the celebrations of Columbus Day and the Feast of Tabernacles overlap each other, reminding us of the launching of Christopher Columbus’ second voyage to the New World, on the same day as the second blood moon of the 1493-1494 tetrad, which occurred on the Feast of Tabernacles.
It was on his second voyage that Columbus had been given the mission and resources to create a Christian society in the New World. The Native American people he found were descendants of ancient Siberian immigrants but had lived in isolation from the rest of mankind for about 3,000 years. Nevertheless, their pyramids, their religions and their culture still contained the stamp of their origins with the rest of mankind in ancient Babylon. Unfortunately, they also retained some of the worst pagan practices of Babylonian religions, as the Aztecs demonstrated by sacrificing 50,000 human victims every year.
Our study of history shows that human sacrifice is a flash point for God’s judgment, and we believe that the Aztec, Inca and other Native American civilizations were judged and destroyed by God through the technology and diseases of the Europeans. Sadly, the conquistadors enslaved the survivors and forced them to “convert” to Christianity, thus losing the opportunity to achieve a real Christian society. Those sins were compounded by bringing in African slaves to replace the decimated populations working the European plantations.
The establishment of a Christian society did finally occur when a small group of English Christians landed in New England. Over time, the English settlers in eastern North America adopted the concept of religious freedom and went on to build the greatest Christian society on earth, the United States. And, despite all its failures, backsliding and flaws, the United States, with its 250 million who claim to be Christians, remains the world’s most powerful beacon of the Christian dream.
Christianity has also flourished in Latin America, thanks to revival and renewal from the Catholic charismatics and the evangelical Christians. Today Latin America is 92.5 percent Christian, the highest proportion of any continent. And the Catholic Church, in recognition of this fact, selected the Cardinal of Buenos Aires, Pope Francis, as its leader.
As we have discussed in our book The Mystery of the Blood Moons, blood moons are signs of revival and expansion of the church. Today there are over 800 million Christians in the New World, a testimony to the evangelization of the New World launched by Columbus on his blood moon voyage of 1493.
Already there are signs of revival following the blood moon tetrad of 2014-15, as the Pope from the New World has instituted a great wave of unity and reconciliation among Christians. Let us pray that Christian unity will cause a lost and dying world to believe our message, as Jesus prayed (John 17:22), and ask the Lord to pour out His Spirit in our time.
We urge you to seek out brother Christians in your city or in meetings like the upcoming Kairos 2017 meeting (See Kairos2017.com) to participate in the Christian unity revival.
And may the fruit of the blood moon voyage of Christopher Columbus continue to grow.
