 | Mapuche Wedding My partner and I traveled to Chile the year 2006, I have been away from my country for 6 years. We were married already under the Church of England (my wife is English). We wanted to celebrate our marriage in Chile with family and friends. We were so lucky because a great honor was offered and it was to get married under the Mapuche tradition. This ceremony is not exactly what a complete Mapuche wedding is, however it is rarely offered to white people, so it is something very special. We wanted to share this moment with all of you. There are subtitles telling some highlights of Mapuche history, culture, tradition and strugles. I think we were very lucky to have had such experience. Thanks |
 | Mormon History: LDS (Mormon) Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley 1/4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Zsvml57PE is a video describing how to learn more about the Mormon Church. Gordon Bitner Hinckley was the fifteenth Prophet and President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormon Church, as it is commonly known. He held that position from March 12, 1995 until January 27, 2008 when he died. He had served in a full-time capacity for the Church since 1958. During his tenure as President of the LDS Church, Hinckley traveled the world extensively and met with many journalists, government officials, civic leaders, and heads of state. At 97 years old, he was the oldest person ever to preside over the Church. Gordon B. Hinckley was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 23, 1910, to Bryant S. and Ada Bitner Hinckley. He attended the University of Utah where he received a journalism degree. Afterwards he served a mission to Great Britain. When he returned from his mission, Gordon B. Hinckley accepted a job with the Church's public relations department. In 1937, he married Marjorie Pay. They were married for 67 years before her death in 2004. He died in his home at 7 PM on January 27, 2008, of causes incident to age. Gordon B. Hinckley has served as a General Authority in the Mormon Church since 1958. He became the prophet after the death of Howard W. Hunter in 1995. During his formal introduction as the Church's new president a reporter asked "'What will be your focus? What will be the theme of your administration?' Instinctively the prophet answered, 'Carry on. Yes. Our theme will be to carry on the great work which has been furthered by our predecessors.'" That is exactly what he has done; during his presidency Gordon B. Hinckley has made some impressive strides in furthering the work of his predecessors: * Church membership has grown from 9 million to over 13 million members as of 2007. * As of 2006, the number of Mormon temples worldwide has grown from 27 to 122, with 13 more announced or under construction. The reason is simple, President Hinckley said, "The sacred and important work that goes on in temples must be accelerated, and for this to happen, it is necessary that temples be taken closer to the people rather than having the people travel so far to temples... These temples are there to be used, and those who use them will reap a blessing of harmony in their lives. They will draw nearer unto the Lord, and He will draw nearer unto them." There are now temples on every continent except Antarctica. * In 1995, The Family: A Proclamation to the World, which states the Church's beliefs and stand on the importance of and role of families, was announced and read. * "The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles," which is a declaration and witness of the divinity and role of the Savior Jesus Christ, was released in 2000. * Then in 2001, Gordon B. Hinckley, announced the Perpetual Education Fund, "a large endowment that provides loans to students in developing nations. It is funded entirely by donations, with the assumption that students will pay back into the fund when they are able." * The Church's humanitarian efforts have grown. In 1994, President Gordon B. Hinckley stated, "Some 98 million dollars in cash and in-kind assistance have been distributed in the past year." The White House recognized Gordon B. Hinckley's humanitarian efforts, and the Church's, when he received the Medal of Freedom in 2004. "The White House said that, as president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since 1995, Hinckley has 'inspired millions and has led efforts to improve humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and education funding across the globe.'" * The prophet President Gordon B. Hinckley has traveled extensively, visiting members and meeting with dignitaries in many countries on all of the continents except Antarctica. The Mormon prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley, advocates values, which have made the United States great, values that are slipping away, such as: marriage between a man and woman, no abortion, no pre-marital sex and complete fidelity within marriage, no drugs, alcohol, or tobacco use, the importance of families, and other values. When asked if the best way to correct the slipping values was to ban certain things, the prophet replied, " The way to correct that is to teach. Joseph Smith the founder of this Church said 'I teach the people correct principles and they govern themselves'. That's the essence of the thing. Teach the principle and learn and let people govern themselves." Information from http://www.mormonwiki.com |

 | North American Union Equals European Union The European Economic Community (EEC) began for Britain as a free-trade agreement in 1972. Today's European Union is well on its way to becoming a federal superstate, complete with one currency, one legal system, one military, one police force and even its own national anthem. In this shocking new documentary featuring members of the EU Parliament and EU analysts, independent author Phillip Day covers the history and goals of the European Union, as well as the disturbing, irrevocable implications this new government has for every British citizen. Under agreement with Phillip Day, the John Birch Society has modified the video for an American audience, by adding a new introduction and ending to the video to unmask the similarities between the EU and the North American Union, of which many still say does not exist. We wonder how many EU citizens used to say the same thing? Once you watch the trailer, get the DVD "The Real Face of the European Union" at the American Opinion Book Services: http://aobs-store.com/store/page44.html |
