New Life United Methodist Church to Start in Cedar Rapids
Christ Community Church in Cedar Rapids plans to birth New Life United Methodist Church on Sept. 16, becoming the youngest conference birth in Iowa United Methodist history. The new congregation will meet at Linn-Mar High School and later at Harding Middle School in northeast Cedar Rapids. The effort includes about 30,000 phone calls and a staff led by Rev. Fred Cressman, with Cressman noting the church will be a full-service, drama and skit rich, but not multimedia heavy, experience.

Carter cites religion as key in world affairs and Camp David
Former president Jimmy Carter says religion shaped major foreign policy gains and crises including the Camp David accords and the Iran hostage crisis. He notes atheistic leaders privately discuss faith, recounting dialogues with Deng Xiaoping and Gierek and recalls a multi faith chapel set at Camp David to host Muslim, Jewish, and Christian services.
