   “Our pilgrimage really brought home to me how human the Bible is. These
  stories are about God interacting with real people in real places, facing
   real struggles." — The Rev. Matthew Kelley, a young pastor who recently
                           visited the Holy Land.


Holy Land pilgrimage inspires young visitors

   JERUSALEM (UMNS) — For 13 young clergy and laity, a recent pilgrimage of the
   Holy Land was a life-changing journey that brought new meaning to their
   faith and their ministry. The United Methodist Board of Church and Society
   sponsored the pilgrimage Feb. 22-March 5.

Warren Christopher remembered as man of faith

   LOS ANGELES (UMNS) — Over the past week, U.S. leaders have remembered former
   Secretary of State Warren Christopher for presidential service that
   stretched from the Johnson Administration to his four years in the Clinton
   cabinet. But what is less well-known is that Christopher was also a faithful
   United Methodist.

Japan’s churches to help house survivors

   TOKYO (UMNS) — Hundreds of thousands left homeless by Japan’s earthquake and
   tsunami or evacuated because of the continuing nuclear threat are struggling
   to regain the routines of daily life. To assist them, churches in Japan are
   working to find temporary accommodations for some of the survivors.

Tokyo center helps Filipino evacuees

   NEW YORK (UMNS) – The Wesley Center, a Tokyo mission facility related to
   United Methodist Women, provided short-term housing for evacuees from the
   hardest-hit earthquake and tsunami zones in Japan. Many of the evacuees --
   including families, a group of five scholars, and 20 shipyard welders --
   were Filipinos from the city of Sendai.
