   “We strongly believe that there is no development without religion.” —
   Thomas Kemper, top executive of the United Methodist Board of Global
   Ministries, speaking in Côte d’Ivoire.

Advent app joins online devotional resources

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) — The gift buying, tree decorating, party planning
   and other pre-Christmas tasks can easily overshadow Advent and spiritual
   preparation for remembering Christ’s birth. Here are some suggestions for
   Advent devotions and activities delivered digitally.

The Rev. Shane Stanford: Living with HIV

   MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UMNS) — For years, Shane Stanford lived with a secret. When
   Stanford graduated from seminary and told people he was HIV-positive, even
   churches turned their backs. The experience tested the young pastor’s faith,
   he says in this UMTV feature ahead of World AIDS Day on Dec. 1.

What would you die for?

   and die for in his blog Faith Media + Culture. The question has occurred to
   him many times, particularly when covering stories in dangerous situations.
