If you haven't already signed the Petition to help the Mandaeans attain refugee status, I urge you to consider doing so now.
You can learn more about the Mandaeans ("the last living Gnostics") of Iraq and their current plight at April DeConick's website on The Mandaeans.
The last I looked (on 12/26/07), 514 persons had signed the online petition so far . . . the goal is 1,000. Please read, and then do.
. . . by taking the "Which Church Father Are You?" quiz . . .
. . . I’m an Origen!
"You do nothing by half-measures. If you’re going to read the Bible, you want to read it in the original languages. If you’re going to teach, you’re going to reach as many souls as possible, through a proliferation of lectures and books. If you’re a guy and you’re going to fight for purity . . . well, you’d better hide the kitchen shears."
That's what it says, anyway, and it must be true, since it explains so well why I turned up in the vicinity of Gandhi and the Dalai Lama when I took the (also eerily accurate) Political Compass quiz a while back.
My wife is not at all pleased about this.
Find out which Church Father YOU are at The Way of the Fathers!
