Singing was the draw at a festival of choirs in the Congo…The choir festival in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was the second such gathering since the annual event resumed after a 12-year hiatus caused by war and unrest in the eastern part of the country."Before the war, every year there was the festival," said Ahmad Parsa, a resident of neighboring Rwanda who attended part of the three-day event.Some 16 choirs – mostly youth – presented original songs focusing on the life of Baha'u'llah and of the Bab. Each year, a theme is announced beforehand, and singers prepare new material.
The event is always in the province of South Kivu, but the exact locale changes. This year it was held in Sange, where local residents gave a warm welcome to the hundreds of festivalgoers and a Christian church allowed use of a property it owned for the venue, Mr. Parsa said.

Lorraine K. Thompson, 85, of Nampa, died at her home on Monday, Sept. 28, 2009. Graveside services will be held today, Tuesday, Sept. 29, at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery, Boise, at 1 p.m. Lorraine was born on Nov. 9, 1923, at her family home in Tolstoy, S.D. She attended schools in South Dakota before her family moved to Nampa. During WWII she worked in the Shipyards in Vancouver, Wash., as a welder. Following that she moved to a small town on the Montana/Idaho border and then finally moved to Boise. It was here that she met William Thompson at Lloyd's restaurant. After being convinced by her father that William was a good man, they later married on Oct. 3, 1948, at Winnemucca, Nev. The two traveled to together living mainly in Sioux Falls, S.D., because of Bill's car racing career. While in South Dakota she worked for Hyde Jewelers and was also known to be quite the seamstress and knitter. In 1968 Lorraine and Bill moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, following Bill's retirement from the trucking industry as a vice president. They would eventually move to Nampa in June of 2000 to be close to family. Lorraine loved to play cards, especially, Trash, Bingo, and Pinochle with her friends. She was a faithful member of the Baha'i faith, serving as a member of the local spiritual assembly in Boise; Marin Co., Calif.; Sioux Falls, S.D.; Granger, Utah; and Nampa.
Trash is a fun and simple game for children and adults alike. It's especially handy to know for long car trips, after school programs, and summer camps. Here is how to play the game.

We bought this album when our children were little and played it all the time. We had just become Baha'is and this music was the sound track of our lives. The women's voices are so sweet and lovely and jazzy. The instrumentation is artful and compelling. Now the children are grown, and the album needed replacing, so I have recently replaced it — simply because the music is beautiful and uplifting, and not just for children.

Conservative members of the nation's largest Lutheran denomination will decide in a year whether to remain or form a new denomination after the church voted to affirm gay clergy, the Associated Press reports.
Some 1,200 people attended a meeting of Lutheran CORE over the weekend. The group comprises members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who are unhappy with the churchwide assembly vote last month to allow gay men and women in committed relationships to serve as clergy.
Lutheran CORE leaders have urged members to withhold financial support for the Chicago-based denomination of 4.7 million members. ELCA Presiding Bishop Mark Hanson has warned that such a boycott would devastate the mission of the church.
