China Welcomes the World with a Bang
China
didn't just walk onto the world stage. It soared over it. At last
playing its long-sought role as Olympic host, China opened the Summer
Games in spectacular fashion Friday with an extravaganza of fireworks
and pageantry dramatizing its ascendance as a global power. Disasters,
environmental problems and human-rights disputes preceded the games,
and questions abound about how they will unfold. But for an evening, at
least for the 91,000 people packed into the new National Stadium, it
was an interlude of fervor and magic - capped by the spellbinding sight
of a skywalking, torchbearing gymnast floating around the stadium's top
rim before sending a torrent of fire upward to light the Olympic flame.

"Chinese
Schindler" Honored at Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum
In 1938, when no one else in Vienna would issue visas to
fleeing
Jews, this Chinese diplomat defied orders and saved many of the city's
Jews. Shanghai's Jewish history is being spotlighted this year as the
Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum honors the late Ho Fengshan, the
"Chinese Schindler." Ho Fengshan was a Chinese diplomat in Vienna who,
at his own peril, issued thousands of visas to Austrian Jews. Even when
he was directed to cease issuing the visas, he continued to do so in
defiance of the order, issuing visas from a smaller facility for which
he paid all the expenses himself.

On "Being Saved"
in Black America
While growing up in a very
religious and church-going family, I often heard the phrase "Being
Saved." Now to me and my peers, "Being Saved" was a rather spooky and
mystical thing, and only the real holy folk could be such —
whatever it was.

Music
Minister of the
Week: Dorinda Clark Cole
She’s
been called “the Rose of Gospel,” “the
church
girl,” and “evangelist” but more than
anything else,
three time Grammy award winner Dorinda Clark Cole is a fired up sister
for Christ and one of the most gifted vocalists in the music world
today. Carrying on the legacy of her mother, mass choir director
pioneer, the late Mattie Moss Clark, along with her award winning
contemporary gospel pioneering sisters who have influenced a generation
of singers, Dorinda Clark Cole boldly comes forth with her third solo
album, TAKE IT BACK. She utilizes her famous vocal runs and preaching
on the jazz infused “Faithful,” which gives the
message
that if you are faithful over a few things God will make you ruler over
many, if you remain faithful through your trials. The soul stirring
ballad “Yesterday,” showcases Dorinda’s
multi-octave
vocal range and will fill you with a calming message of peace and hope
that comes after the storms of life have passed. It
let’s
you know that although the situation might seem bad, it will be over
tomorrow. “If I Were,” the praise ballad sends a
message of
gratitude unto the Lord that will usher in a spirit of praise. With
songs that inspire, encourage and uplift, TAKE IT BACK is another
landmark project from the Clark dynasty. So what is her hope
for
this shining release? She simply says, “I want it to reach
avenues that we feel that it cannot to go, I want people to not give up
and know they can get through it.” I want it to reach those
who
are strung out on drugs. I want them to be able to hand it
over
to other drug abusers and say listen to it and have it bless their
lives.” E-mail: fks130@gmail.com.

Black
Christian History
Elizabeth A. Coles was
born in Liberia, the daughter of missionaries. Her family returned to
Virginia in 1893. After high school, Coles wanted to be a missionary,
but as there was no support for unmarried female missionaries, she
prepared for a career as a teacher. One day she received a letter from
Edward H. Bouey, also a child of missionaries. At their first meeting,
he proposed to her, and they soon married. The couple went to Liberia,
where they continued her parents’ work, ran a school, and
began a
hospital. In 1929 they returned to Richmond with their children and an
adopted African youth. Bouey became a public school teacher but found
time to study theology at Virginia Union University and to earn a
master’s degree in education from Columbia University.
Knowing of
the lack of training available for ministers’ wives, Bouey
proposed a national association for them. Her idea was well received in
the region, and the first chapter of the National Association of
Ministers’ Wives was founded in Richmond in 1939. During the
next
year, Bouey organized other chapters in Virginia and corresponded with
ministers’ wives throughout the United States. The first
national
conference took place in Richmond in 1941, and Bouey was elected
president, a post she held until her death. Over the next sixteen
years, Bouey oversaw members from more than thirty states and from West
Africa; the establishment of the organization’s journal,
Ministers’ Wives Herald; and the purchase of a building in
Richmond. Since Bouey’s death the NAMW has become the
International Association of Ministers’ Wives and
Ministers’ Widows, with more than 40,000 members.
