Sorry for letting this blog go a little bit. It should now look fine in firefox again!

Anyways, there’s been a few months since the last real postings. Has anything happened at the Hollywood Church since that time? I think so. If you’re a new or old member of the church and would like to tell about what’s going on there send me an email richardab at gmail dot com.

Thanks you all for your support!

Please leave comments, I’m trying to figure out if it is a specific computer problem or more widespread. I think it looks fine in Safari. Any other browser users please chime in in the comments. And if anyone is seeing what the problem is, please let me know.

What possessed you to come to Hollywood anyway? What was your journey like that brought you here? And how did you distinguish God’s calling for you? So you are here and now what? How? Why? Why now? Why the people that you are now meeting? Is there something significant about all these questions?

Some have heard me say it often… I’m SO EXCITED to experience how I feel God is leading and teaching me to engage in the ministry of love - the work of restoration He is already doing in the world. Several members from the Hollywood Seventh-day Adventist Church and I have been involved in learning to live like Jesus in a way that is very different than either of us has experienced before (I think I can say that). What does that look like in our city and in our time? I’m still trying to figure that out. In the mean time I continue to participate in my city and community and step out in faith! LA Voice afforded me the opportunity to participate in my city in a different way. (more…)

Those of you at Church this past Sabbath might have noticed that many regular attenders didn’t show up. Most of us were at the SonScreen film festival in Simi Valley. Personally, I saw a lot of talent and faces that will probably make their way to Hollywood. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

This week (or whenever) give a shout out to Melody George who had a huge role in this event, and send up your prayers for her for next year, when she’s taking on even more responsibility.

1.5 million Armenians. 3 million Ukrainians. 6 million Jews. 250,000 Gypsies. 6 million Slavs. 25 million Russians. 25 million Chinese. 1 million Ibos. 1.5 million Bengalis. 200,000 Guatemalans. 1.7million Cambodians. 500,000 Indonesians. 200,000 East Timorese. 250,000 Burundians. 500,000 Ugandans. 2 million Sudanese. 800,000 Rwandans. 2 million North Koreans. 10,000 Kosovars. Genocides and other mass murders killed more people in the twentieth century than all the wars combined.[1]

The past couple weeks have been rather busy for me. With the Armenian Genocide March through Hollywood on April 24th coming up, I have given more and more thought to genocide. I did write an extensive paper on the topic some years ago while still in school (which I have referenced in this blog), but writing about it is one thing; hearing people’s testimonies to it and contemplating in depth the current genocide happening right now in Darfur, Sudan is another. To me, genocide is the most atrocious human act that could ever be committed.
