* The chief justice of Sudan, Obeid Hajj Ali, issued a decree in
April to halt the flogging of women, following an outcry over the
recent government beatings of 40 females who had merely handed
an official a note protesting Sudan's military involvements.
However, the chief justice said there were exceptions to the decree
and that women could still be flogged for drinking alcohol or
committing adultery.

can't have Bob and Bob being married" without hurting the concept
of the family farm.
Pastor charged with bilking contributors
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A man known as "Pastor Chuck" has been
charged with convincing some 2,000 low income people to
make donations to his church by falsely promising they
would share in the money, federal prosecutors say.
Charles Groeschel, 66, of Palm Desert, California, was
arrested on Wednesday in Charlotte, North Carolina, for
allegedly using his "non-profit church" to cheat victims
out of some $1.4 million.
The charges against Groeschel were filed in Manhattan
federal court. Prosecutors said that although the defendant
lives in California most of his victims reside on the East
Coast with a large group in New York City.
Prosecutors alleged that Groeschel used most of the money
for himself and his Association of Individual Ministries
(AIM), instead of sharing with contributors as he promised.
From May 1997 until March 1998 he allegedly told low income
people that if they sent money to AIM, his "non-profit
church," they could earn enough to give up their jobs and
work full time for religious purposes.
As pastor of AIM he solicited people to become "Associate
Ministers" by making weekly donations. He told victims that
"we must give in order to receive" and promised substantial
returns for their small but regular payments.
As part of the scheme, he said that Associate Ministers
would benefit by introducing new "Associate Ministers' and
receiving a percentage of "donations" made by the new
ministers.
Groeschel allegedly found support in the Bible for his
promises of abundant returns. Citing the New Testament, AIM
solicitation materials states that "we will receive a
hundred fold return in this life."
To attract contributors, he also conducted weekly telephone
conference calls in the form of a sermon. These sometimes
included "faith healings" performed by "Pastor
Chuck." AIM also had an Internet Website.
Although AIM raised more than $1.4 million, few associate
ministers received back more than a fraction of their
donations, prosecutors alleged.

problem is one of human hubris and arrogance...when a purely human conceived,
invented, and administered organization descends into the madness of thinking

are but mad fools and no good comes of madness sought nor of foolishness

Diocese Ordered To Pay $30 Million
STOCKTON, Calif. (July 17) - Two brothers who accused the Catholic Diocese of
Stockton of covering up sexual abuse by a parish priest for more than a decade
have won a $30 million court award.
In one of the nation's largest judgments in a clergy abuse case, a Superior
Court civil jury on Thursday ordered the diocese to pay Joh and James Howard
$24 million in punitive damages and $6 million in compensatory damages.
''This says to me that people out there understand. People grasped what level
of impact this has taken on my family,'' Joh Howard said. ''I feel so relieved
and so vindicated.''
The ruling comes less than a week after the Catholic Diocese of Dallas agreed
to pay $23.4 million to nine former altar boys who said they were molested by
a priest.
The Howards had accused the diocese of concealing the Rev. Oliver Francis
O'Grady's history of abusing children, The trial in Stockton, 65 miles east of
San Francisco, did not address O'Grady's guilt - he was convicted earlier -
but whether his superiors knew about the abuse.
In a statement, Stockton Bishop Donald Montrose asked for the Howard family's
forgiveness, saying the diocese ''did not understand the depth of the
problem.''
''We are disappointed with the jury's decision to punish the diocese in a way
which will effectively destroy virtually all of the services provided by the
diocese to its people and the community,'' he said.
O'Grady's attorneys could not be reached for comment Thursday.
O'Grady was convicted in 1994 of molesting Joh, now 19, and James, 23. He is
serving a 14-year prison term.
O'Grady and his supervisor, the Rev. Cornelius DeGroot, signed two letters in
1976 apologizing to the parents of an 11-year-old girl after O'Grady allegedly
touched her inappropriately, said the Howards' attorney, Laurence Drivon.
O'Grady testified that former Stockton Diocese Bishop Merlin Guilfoyle didn't
order him to seek counseling after the 1976 incident and seemed angry that he
had apologized.
When police began their own investigation in 1984, O'Grady was receiving
counseling, church officials said. According to police, the diocese told
authorities O'Grady would be transferred and would only be working with
adults.
In 1985, O'Grady was appointed pastor of St. Andrew's Parish in San Andreas. A
year later, the diocese appointed him associate pastor of Sacred Heart Church
in Turlock, where he reportedly met the Howards.
David Clohessy, the director of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests
in Chicago, said the jury award is the largest per plaintiff in a case
involving a religious institution.
''It's an incredibly powerful statement (that) says the abuse of kids has to
stop and that puts the blame squarely where it belongs, on the hierarchy of
the church,'' said Clohessy, who sat in on the parts of the trial.

Accused priest testifies in Guatemala bishop's murder
By Fiona Ortiz
GUATEMALA CITY, July 23 (Reuters) - A Roman Catholic priest and a parish cook
arrested in the April murder of a bishop testified before a judge in a closed-
door hearing on Thursday before being sent back to jail for a second night
behind bars.
``They were invited to make declarations about this deed,'' Judge Isaias
Figueroa of Guatemala City's first criminal court, told Reuters about the all-
day hearing, which was not open to the public or to the media.
Mario Orantes, the priest who discovered the body of Bishop Juan Jose Gerardi
in the garage of the San Sebastian parish where they both worked, and
Margarita Lopez, the parish cook, were arrested on Wednesday in connection
with Gerardi's murder.
The brutal killing of the bishop who crusaded for human rights shocked
Guatemalans and was widely believed to be politically motivated.
Figueroa said that he would announce on Friday afternoon whether the evidence
presented to him by prosecutors was sufficient for him to order Orantes and
Lopez to stay in jail pending trial.
Under Guatemalan law he also has the option to free them, if he finds that
prosecutors do not have a strong enough case against them.
Figueroa refused to comment on whether prosecutors suspect Orantes and Lopez
actually killed the bishop, or whether they were accessories, accomplices or
co-conspirators.
He made a zipper motion across his mouth and said, ``that will come out when I
lift the gag order, which could be in 10 days.''
Figueroa told Reuters the prosecutors had requested the gag order. Lead
prosecutor Otto Ardon refused to talk to Reuters on leaving the hearing
Thursday afternoon.
In the information vacuum surrounding the case, newspapers and radio shows
boiled with rumours, especially about the intense security, involving hundreds
of police and soldiers, that surrounded the arrests and the court hearing.
Gerardi, 75, was killed on April 26 when an attacker surprised him in his
garage as he got out of his car, and crushed his head with a cement block.
Many Guatemalans believe the murder was politically motivated because it came
two days after Gerardi presented a landmark report on human rights abuses
during Guatemala's 36-year-long civil war.
The war ended in 1996 with a peace treaty between the government and leftist
rebels.
Four days after the crime, police arrested Carlos Enrique Vielman, 24, a self-
described drunkard who was formally charged in the murder.
But while Vielman stayed in jail, the case against him seemed to fall apart.
His lawyer said he had an alibi of being in a bar across town at the time of
the murder.
Human rights leaders, who have said they believe the army killed Gerardi in
retaliation for his human rights work, decried the arrest of Vielman, who was
still in jail on Thursday.
Six weeks ago, rumours surfaced that the Gerardi murder was a crime of passion
and that the bishop and Orantes were involved in some sort of love triangle.
On Wednesday, Orantes called the crime of passion theory ``stupid.''
Orantes cried openly in front of photographers on the morning after the
murder.
``I found his body drained of blood, in two big pools of blood. I didn't
recognise him at first because they had destroyed his face. But I recognised
him by his ring, his bishop's ring,'' Orantes told Reuters just hours after
the murder.

Expelled Mexican Protestants Return
.c The Associated Press
SAN JUAN CHAMULA, Mexico (AP) - Government officials escorted 70 Protestants
to their homes in a Chiapas village Saturday, one week after they were
expelled by local Catholics in a religious dispute.
The 30 adults and 40 children returned peacefully to Icalumtic, a village in
the traditional Indian community of San Juan Chamula.
Gustavo Moscoso Zenteno, a state deputy secretary, said Catholic community
leaders had agreed to respect the Protestants' religious freedom as long as
they agreed to cooperate with local traditions.
Local Catholics, however, said they did not approve of the return and some
Protestants expressed concern for their safety.
``It was irresponsible of the authorities and of our leaders to betray us and
leave us alone without protection,'' said Mateo Gonzalez, a spokesman for the
Protestants.
The July 29 expulsions were the latest in a 25-year conflict that has seen
thousands of people driven from Chamula because they don't share the mix of
Catholic and Maya traditions of most Indians in the region.
Chamula, just north of San Cristobal in southern Chiapas state, is populated
by Indians who have a deep attachment to Tzotzil Maya tradition.

NEW YORK -- Dr. Malcolm Scoon, convicted in April of shaking his baby
daughter to death, was welcomed with hugs and balloons at his church
after he was freed on bail (!) pending his appeal.
Friends embraced Scoon at the Revealed Word Christian Center, where
congregants held car washes and passed the hat to raise part of his
$500,000 bail.
Scoon was convicted in April of violently and repeatedly shaking his
5-month-old daughter, Mariah. During the trial, prosecutors argued that
Scoon snapped and shook Mariah with force equivalent to being ejected
from a car in a high-speed accident.
In his own defense, Scoon said his daughter died of natural causes and
that he only shook her gently after finding her gasping for air.
Our Hero was jailed upon his manslaughter conviction and later sentenced
to two to 6 years in prison, but an appeals judge last month granted him
bail.
NEW YORK -- Reverend Osei Kissi (!), pastor of New Life Christian Center
(the Bronx) has been arrested for allegedly raping a 12-year-old member

Cops say Kissi is accused of raping the girl on six occasions this month

welfare of a child.
Aug. 5 sentencing set for pastor
VANCOUVER, Wash. - Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 5 in Clark County Superior
Court for a local pastor who pleaded guilty June 5 to charges of child rape and
attempted assault.
Robert Dwayne Bennefield, 32, had been accused of first-degree child rape and
second-degree attempted assault involving two boys, ages 7 and 13. The sexual
misconduct took place between Dec. 31 and Feb. 10 at his home.
Bennefield had initially pleaded innocent in March and trial had been scheduled
for June 10.
Bennefield was arrested Feb. 26. At the time he was a pastor at the Lighthouse
Christian Center, which is affiliated with the Church of God of Cleveland,
Tenn.
A report in The Oregonian quoted Bennefield's lawyer, Steve Thayer, as saying
that Bennefield was remorseful and repentant. He said his client wants to
submit to counseling.
According to Thayer, the standard sentence for such crimes is from nine to 12
years in prison, but that he will recommend that Bennefield be sentenced to up
to six months in prison, undergo outpatient counseling and receive three years
of probation under a special sex offender sentencing alternative program.
He said that program is designed for sex offenders who are not a threat to
society. In Thayer's opinion, that is the best option for people such as
Bennefield because he will be less likely to reoffend.

FORMER MINISTER SENTENCED AFTER PLEADING GUILTY TO RAPE
CATHLAMET, WA -- A former minister who served as a Wahkiakum County sheriff's
chaplain has been sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to
third-degree rape.
David Wayne Geriach, 58, was accused of using religious, emotional and physical
threats to intimidate a 13-year-old girl into a sexual relationship that lasted
14 years.
Now 27, the woman told investigators she objected to Gerlach's sexual advances
from the beginning, but he threatened her physically and emotionally.
On March 3, Gerlach attempted suicide by slashing his wrist in Hermiston, Ore.
Police officers who found him lying in a pool of blood in a hotel room said he
told them he had "screwed up." A note addressed to the victim read, "I'm
sorry."
Gerlach has been pastor of the Puget Island First Free Church for 10 years. As
chaplain for the jail and sheriff's office, he sometimes led Bible studies for
prisoners.

A couple of things come to mind: he doesn't really believe in a hereafter, or
he wouldn't have attempted suicide, but would have simply written the note and
been truly sorry. And, he doesn't really believe in redemption, or he would
have asked forgiveness and mad the most of his time in stir.
Another preacher who doesn't really believe what he is preaching, but sees it
as a way to make a living. Wadda surprise!

Cops: Priest Gambled Away Donations
.c The Associated Press
By JEFFREY BAIR
PITTSBURGH (AP) - A priest took his secretary to Atlantic City, N.J., gambled
away donations from parishioners and spent hundreds of thousands in church
money on a vacation home, cars, guns and antiques over 26 years, police said
Tuesday.
The Rev. Walter J. Benz and Mary Anne Albaugh will be charged with theft and
conspiracy within two weeks, Inspector Daniel Colaizzi said.
Benz, 72, retired and moved to a nursing home as the investigation wrapped up
last week. Albaugh, 51, will not immediately be arrested because she is not
considered a risk to flee, police said.
Their attorney, Jim Ecker, had no comment beyond, ``I haven't seen any charges
yet.''
Benz's church, St. Mary of the Assumption, serves nearly 11,000 people in
Glenshaw, a northern suburb of Pittsburgh.
Until last week, Benz lived with Albaugh and her teen-age son in a house
packed with antique guns and furniture, gold coins and a 2-foot Buddha statue,
Colaizzi said. Police believe that nearly all the items were bought with
stolen church offerings.
The total take is believed to be at least $1.5 million from two churches,
though Allegheny County police were still totaling the losses and said a third
church may have been involved. Investigators wouldn't identify the third
church.
Ripped collection envelopes were found in Albaugh's house, police said. The
pair had traveled together to casinos in Atlantic City several times, once
winning $15,000, Colaizzi said.
He would not say if they were romantically involved. ``There is no way I'm
going to touch that,'' he said.
Investigators on Monday seized a new Cadillac and new Oldsmobile and were
looking Tuesday for a Subaru that Benz and Mrs. Albaugh had purchased.
The Rev. Ron Lengwin, spokesman for the Diocese of Pittsburgh, said Benz
brought the investigation upon himself earlier this year by telling superiors
there might be financial irregularities at St. Mary. That and questions about
the books during Benz's stay at another church led church officials to call
police.
Benz worked at the Blessed Sacrament Church in Harrison Township from 1972
until 1993, when he was reassigned to St. Mary. A fill-in priest is running
the church until a replacement is named next month.
Money also was taken from Blessed Sacrament, police said.

Baptist Leader Lyons Indicted
By PAT LEISNER
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A majority of Baptists would be pleased to hear that the
Rev. Henry Lyons has been charged with skimming millions from corporations to
support a luxurious lifestyle, a prosecutor says.
Lyons, the leader of the National Baptist Convention USA, was accused Thursday
of cheating corporations out of $5 million. He remained free on bond after a
federal court appearance.
The federal charges of fraud, extortion and tax evasion could bring him up to
815 years in prison and $25 million in fines.
U.S. Attorney Charles R. Wilson said he believes a majority of Baptists would
be ``sickened and disgusted'' by the allegations and ``are cheering the return
of this indictment.''
The allegations come on top of state racketeering and grand theft charges
brought by state prosecutors in February. Lyons has pleaded innocent to the
state counts.
Lyons, head of one of the nation's largest black denominations, is accused of
using his position to solicit contributions that he spent on country club
memberships, trips, cars, jewelry and houses.
Lyons' lawyer, Grady Irvin, issued a statement blaming reporters for leaving
``the public with a warped view of a historic black religious organization.''
``These corporations desired nothing more than to peddle their wares to black
Baptist consumers, and I'm sure that paying for an endorsement is nothing new
to them,'' Irvin said.
First, the media reported Lyons ``had stolen from dedicated black churchgoers,
and now that story has changed to a claim by the media that the Rev. Lyons has
ripped off multimillion-dollar corporations,'' Irvin said.
Indicted with Lyons were Bernice Edwards, 40, former director of public
relations for the convention, and Brenda Harris, who was director of meetings
and conventions for the Baptist group.
Edwards also faces state racketeering charges and, like Lyons, has pleaded
innocent.
Wilson said Loewen Group International Inc. of Covington, Ky., a Canadian
corporation that provides funeral services, was defrauded of $3.2 million.
Lyons and the two women allegedly used multiple bank accounts, mainly the
Baptist Builder Fund in St. Petersburg. Lyons was the sole signatory for the
fund and much of the money that came into his possession flowed into this
account, the indictment said.
Lyons has weathered a stormy year since his wife, Deborah, set fire a year ago
to a plush waterfront home he owned with Edwards, whom he put on the church
payroll.
Later, she said it was a drinking problem and not a jealous rage that prompted
her to set the fire, which caused an estimated $30,000 to the luxury home.
In the aftermath of fire, allegations surfaced that Lyons cheated on his wife
and misused church funds, buying expensive jewelry, a Mercedes-Benz and the
$700,000 home for Edwards.

Embattled Pastor Pleads Innocent
By LISA HOLEWA
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - The Rev. Henry Lyons pleaded innocent Monday to charges he
used the presidency of a large black Baptist denomination to cheat
corporations out of money that went to supplement his lavish lifestyle.
Lyons was indicted by a federal grand jury last week on 56 counts of fraud,
conspiracy, money laundering and tax evasion. The embattled leader of the
National Baptist Convention USA remained free Monday after his attorney
presented documents showing six supporters would post property as Lyons'
$125,000 bond.
Lyons wasn't able to raise all of the bond money himself because the
government has frozen most of his assets as part of their case against him,
his attorneys said.
About 30 members of his congregation at Bethel Metropolitan Baptist Church in
St. Petersburg crowded into the small federal courtroom to show support for
the embattled pastor.
If convicted of all the charges, Lyons faces up to life in prison and fines of
$25 million.
Also Monday, codefendant Brenda Harris flew in from Tennessee, where she
coordinated meetings for the National Baptist Convention, to plead innocent to
eight fraud and conspiracy charges in connection with the alleged schemes. She
agreed to post $6,000 in a court fund toward her $50,000 bond.
Lyons, 56, is accused of using his convention leadership position to
fraudulently solicit contributions, and of promising a life insurance company,
a funeral services group and a communications outfit a chance to market
services potentially to 8.5 million convention members.
Prosecutors said the membership figure was exaggerated and the promises were
false: The money wasn't used for the convention, but for Lyons' own benefit.
Proceeds went into accounts to support a lavish lifestyle, including country
club memberships, trips, the purchase of cars, jewelry and houses, grand
jurors according to the indictment.
