Christian Charities Say Poverty should be Priority for U.S. Govt.

By Tim Burphy

(RNS) Christian aid organizations are calling on the federal government to make fighting poverty a national priority, in response to new economic data from the Census Bureau.

According to the bureau's report, released Tuesday (Aug. 26), the percentage of Americans living below the poverty level remained statistically unchanged from 2006 to 2007.

During that same 12-month period the median income increased and the number of Americans without health insurance declined.

Head of White House Faith-Based Office Resigns

By Adelle M. Banks

(RNS) The director of the White House Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives, Jay Hein, has resigned to care for his ill father.

Hein, the White House office's third director, will leave Aug. 29 and return to Indianapolis to support his father, who is battling cancer, said spokeswoman Rebecca Neale.

Hein alerted his staff and state liaisons to religious and secular nonprofits during the week of Aug. 11, and met with President Bush earlier to tell him of his plans.

Asked if Hein would be replaced, Neale said, "I think that that's something the White House senior staff is working through right now."

Judge: Cross is War Memorial

CBNNews.com - A federal judge says the giant cross atop San Diego's Mount Soledad can stay.

The controversial cross was set in 1954 as a memorial to the veterans of the Korean War.

The American Civil Liberties Union has fought for years to have the cross removed, saying the display on public lands is unconstitutional. The first stream of lawsuits about the cross began in the late 1980s.

However, U.S. District Judge Larry Alan Burns disagreed with that sentiment. He ruled that the cross is more a secular memorial to war veterans than a statement promoting religion.

"The court finds the memorial at Mt. Soledad, including its Latin cross, communicates the primarily nonreligious messages of military service, death, and sacrifice," Burns wrote in his decision. "As such, despite its location on public land, the memorial is constitutional."
