Summer evangelists ice pops Sun screen by David Briggs a religion writer some churches basically take the summer off alternating services with other congregations that have been thinned by vacations and the lure of beaches Golf courses and baseball games. But the arrival of warm weather will find Mem Bers of one Church washing windshields giving away ice pops and filling Bird feeders. The acts of practical christianity Are part of a year round conspiracy of kindness at the Vineyard Community Church in Cincinnati. Instead of handing out tracts or preaching from Street Corners the Church follows a biblical Model of evangelism based on gospel descriptions of Jesus serving others from feeding thousands with loaves and fishes to washing the feet of his disciples the Rev. Steve Sjogren Church pastor says. In present Day Cincinnati that Means free gift wrapping of thousands of presents at a local mall Dur ing the Christmas season and More recently feeding parking meters and cleaning Public bathrooms.

Sjogren arrived in Cincinnati a decade ago the Church tried traditional methods of evangelism to attract members. After two years Rev. Sjogren said the Church was averaging 30 people at sunday services. That s when they began experimenting with what he Calls servant performing practical acts of kindness and leaving Only a card with the Church s name on it. Today people attend sunday services. What they found. Rev. Sjogren said was that As the Church concentrated More on simply serving people and less on talking them into joining unchurched individuals gravitated toward the Church. People ask us who Are you Why Are you doing Rev. Sjogren said. Everything we literally tried to Jam Down their throats they re asking Many people Are still taken Aback when members offer services. We actually kind of destroy caricatures because not Only do we not ask for Money but if they do offer us Money we say no Rev. Sjogren said. When Church members walked into a bar recently and offered to clean its toilets the bartender looked at them and said do you need a drink or but As Church members were cleaning the toilets some 30 people from the bar went to them to find out More about what they were doing Rev. Sjogren said. And recently a Man who had been Given a soda at a stoplight said it was the third time in a year he had been served by the Church. Rev.

A fragment of a Stone Monument containing the first non biblical reference to the dynasty of King David. An elaborate ossuary con Taining the Bones of a first Century Man with the same name As the High priest who handed Jesus Over to the romans. There has been no shortage of startling discover ies in the Field of biblical archaeology during recent decades or even years. The past 100 years have added quite a few Cen Turies to the understanding of the development of the Jude Christian religious heritage says Menahem Mansoor founder of the department of hebrew and semitic studies at the University of Wisconsin Madison. But there also is a sense that much work remains to be done to unlock the secrets of the biblical world say a group of archaeologists and scholars writing in the May june Issue of biblical archaeology review. Examining their Field s greatest achievements failures and challenges led archaeologists to agree that they need to spend less time digging and More time publishing their findings. The Long wait for the unpublished dead sea scrolls is Only one example of the failure of Many peo ple in the Field to publish their findings in a timely manner scholars say. The greatest failure of biblical archaeology is the Lack of sufficient final reports on said Mihai Mazar an archaeology professor at hebrew University s Institute of archaeology in Jerusalem. Many excavations carried out in the near East including Many in Israel remain some scholars also expressed the need for greater teamwork rather than Competition in the Field. I wish to see the Day when pure research will be carried out by those individuals in the Middle East whose Only concern now is adjusting archaeological religion briefs finds to political ideas or concealing important Evi Dence from their political said Yaakov Meshorer chief curator of archaeology at the Israel museum in Jerusalem. And if no one is calling for a return to the Days when Well intentioned adventurers would head off to the holy land with a shovel in one hand and a Bible in the other to prove the historical truth of scriptures an Issue that remains unresolved is How much to rely on the Book that is the reason their vocation draws such widespread International interest. Biblical archaeology s greatest failure is that in some cases it still depends too much on the Bible for interpreting finds rather than considering artefacts As an Independent historical record according to Paula Wapnish a research associate in the anthropology department at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. In the final analysis biblical archaeology cannot be expected to support the biblical record in every respect or to bolster religious Faith writes Bernhard w. Anderson adjunct professor of old testament at Boston University s school of theology. The he said has the modest but extremely important task of keeping the biblical interpreter in touch with the social historical and cultural world of the past which demands consideration by those of us who want to hear what the biblical texts say to us other scholars say archaeologists should take care not to discount the Bible even As other evidence is pursued. One of the greatest challenges in the Field of biblical archaeology is to give the Bible greater historical credibility in interpretation said Keith Schoville pro Fessor of hebrew and semitic studies at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Why should we be severely sceptical of the human events recorded in the he asks. Let the Art of archaeological interpretation be balanced by an appreciation of our greatest literary artefact the Bible a work written by honest. God fearing aids advocate honoured Columbia .

Gambling proposals criticized Wheeling . A a leading opponent believes that legislation to authorize Casino gambling in West Virginia will not get any further in the 1996 session of the legislature than it has in the past. The Rev.
