Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider
themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise.Interestingly
enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing,
there is little to no trend in the number of those who
express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People arent saying they dont believe
in God. Theyre saying they dont believe in religion. They are not
rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church.This begs the question,
Why are we losing our religion?Some may be losing their religion, but
I challenge the notion that faith in general is waning.I believe, instead,
the trend of people who dont identify as part of an organized
religion speaks to an increasing wariness of labels in our culture. Those
labels carry baggage for many who might have been hurt by the
Church or let down by religion.You see, religion alone can only take
a person so far. Religion can make us nice, but only Christ
can make us new. Religion focuses on outward behavior. Relationship is an
inward transformation. Religion focuses on what I do, while relationship
centers on what Jesus did. Religion is about me. Relationship is about
Jesus.In order to become a new person, we need Christ. Only through
an active ongoing relationship with Jesus can we become transformed and
overcome the labels that bind us.In fact, Ive struggled with what people
think of my label: pastor. For many, this label carries emoti
ng at how to improve our
schools and access to our schools without looking at how the past
impacted the present," said Elaine Ng, executive director of the Boston
Chinatown Neighborhood Center, which hosted the story circle where Powell
described her visit back to her old school.As the daughter of Chinese
immigrants, Ng learned to speak English as a kindergarten student in a
Boston public school. But after her family moved from Chinatown to a
white neighborhood in 1976, students threw stones at her when she walked
to school. Ng said one of her frustrations is that people don't
recognize all the ripple effects busing had."It didn't matter whether or
not you were on a bus," she said. "Racial tensions in the
city were just really high."The uproar started in 1974, when a federal
judge imposed busing after a lawsuit claimed black students were getting
lower-quality education than children who attended mostly white schools.
Black students were bused to schools in white areas, and white students
went to black neighborhoods. The National Guard was called in amid demonstrations
and riots; school buses got police escorts.The unrest continued for years.
In 1976, a news photographer caught a white teenager attempting to spear
a black man with an American flag during a busing protest outside
City Hall. In 1979, 15-year-old black football player Darryl Williams was
left paralyzed by a white sniper's bullet during a high school game.Alexander

File: June 19, 2010: Assorted shotguns are displayed on a table at
a gun and knife show in White Plains, N.Y.,APA top White House
official acknowledged Sunday that President Obama knew some of his gun-control
initiatives would likely be rejected but defended his efforts and called
on Congress to do the right thing.The president pushed very hard, White
House adviser Dan Pfeiffer said on Fox News Sunday. We knew all
of the (proposals) would not pass right away.With a proposed ban on
semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity gun magazines off the table for
now, Obama appears to be focusing his efforts, including the garnering of
public support, on getting Congress to agree to universal background checks
for gun buyers.Pfeiffer said the president has marshaled people to his side
and polls show a large majority of the public supports background checks.You
cannot get 90 percent of the people to agree on the weather,
Pfeiffer told Fox. The question is whether Congress is going to do
the right thing.A final Senate bill was expected to be released this
week, when Congress returns from Spring Break. But the voting could be
delayed as senators wrangle over the background check issue. The legislation
would come about four months after a mass shooting at a Newtown,
Conn., elementary school in which 20 first-graders and six adults were killed.Pfeiffer
said the president agrees with the efforts so far of Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid and other sena
