 “In North Uganda, it’s very easy for the (militant group) Lord’s Resistance
Army to recruit children to fight their war. We don’t want that to happen to
the children of South Sudan.” — Michael Ayuen de Kuany, president of Rebuild
                                   Sudan.


Women, clergy of color earn less

   CHICAGO (UMNS) — U.S. clergywomen in The United Methodist Church on average
   earn 13 percent less than their male counterparts, and clergy of color earn
   9 to 15 percent less than white clergy, according to a recent study.

Peace in Sudan, peace everywhere

   LAKE JUNALUSKA, N.C. (UMNS) — The horrors still haunt him: the gunfire that
   ripped his tiny village apart, the terrified screams of neighbors and
   friends as their homes were set ablaze, the 2,000-mile walk he and other
   young boys were forced to take to a refugee camp in Kenya, all the while
   fearing soldiers would slice him limb from limb. Michael Ayuen de Kuany, a
   former “Lost Boy” of Sudan, shared his story at a United Methodist-hosted
   peace conference.

Chance to help United Methodist students

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) — Churchgoers can support United Methodist college
   and university students with a special offering on United Methodist Student
   Day, set this year for Nov. 27. The Special Sunday offering supports college
   scholarships and the United Methodist Student Loan Fund program.
   Participating annual (regional) conferences may award scholarships to United
   Methodists who reside in the conference and who attend a United
   Methodist-related higher education institution.

Peace with Justice grant deadline set

   WASHINGTON (UMNS) — United Methodists and other affiliated organizations
   have until Jan. 6 to apply for a Peace with Justice grant from the United
   Methodist Board of Church and Society. The grants are supported through the
   Peace with Justice Special Sunday offering of The United Methodist Church,
   which “witnesses to God’s demands for a faithful, just, disarmed and secure
   world.” In 2012, Peace with Justice Sunday is June 3.
