When is the actual new iphone five ( or successor of the apple iphone 4) most likely to be released? As i lost my personal apple iphone a month ago, and I was thinking about if I should just get the iphone4 now or maybe wait for the i phone 5… Additionally, I been told the actual iPhone 4’s display screen shatters very easily if you ever fall it w/o a case. Is actually that real?

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.

Dear Bishop Spong & Mel,

Thank you for writing this manifesto & posting it here. It reminded me of a saying on my Soulforce t-shirt from Cleveland in 2000: The Debate Must End. The manifesto is very articulate in that it says what you will and will not do without attacking other faiths. For me, the most important piece is not giving equal media time to both “sides”. You are absolutely right: today we would not permit this for segregation or women’s voting rights.

Thank you for being the brave visionary God has called you to be.

Peace & Love,
Christine

Axel,
I am so glad you stumbled across my website. It is always such a reassuring blessing to know that God still works to send us peace in this life.

If you have the time, check out soulforce.org
I think there you will find even more answers to the questions you are seeking out.
Peace and luck my new friend,
Mel

I found this manifesto and this site by accident. Maybe God lead me to it. Thank you so much for posting this. I feel like there is hope in my life again.
