Journalistic Standards Upheld: Greenwich Representative Alfred Camillo And David Theis Caught Red Handed By The Greenwich Time

E-mail from Alfred Camillo to Republican Town Committee Vice Chairman David Theis Camillo wrote: "Copy and paste this below to your own email. Let me know if you have any problems with it."

The Quotes:

"I've written probably 100 letters in my life putting my name to it," Rep. Alfred Camillo said.

"Whatever the circumstance is behind how it came to exist or be sent, it's inappropriate on the part of a government official to take part in the creation of a letter that deals with him in any way if that letter is not going to have his name on it," caid Thomas Mellana, editorial page editor for Greenwich Time, "I don't doubt that this type of thing happens from time to time. But when we become aware of it, it would be wrong of us to run the letter, which is why we decided not to."

"I hit the wrong button and sent Freddy's draft," Republican Town Committee Vice Chairman David Theis said. "It was a good lesson for me to be careful when sending out communications."

WORSHIP @ home & on the road: Who's The Boss?
by Dan Macaulay

Whether you are a worship leader who travels and ministers itinerantly or one who leads primarily in one place there is one all-important concept you absolutely need to understand:
Authority.

Failing to understand the biblical concept of authority, especially as a worship leader, I believe, is a death-wish for your ministry; and poison in the place(s) you minister. How many church splits and conflicts have been rooted in worship leaders failing to submit to the vision of their pastors? Some would argue theologically that Lucifer himself is the precedent for this: Article: Is Lucifer Leading Worship In Your Church?

Here are the basics: The entire basis & root of sin is rebellion to God's authority. And as John Bevere writes so well in his book Under Cover (Highly recommended reading): "We cannot separate our submission to God's inherent authority from our submission to His delegated authority. All Authority originates from Him!" (U.C. pg.11) "For there is no authority except from God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgement on themselves." (Romans 13:1-2)

So here's what this means for you and me: The authority of the pastor you serve under, whether you're visiting or resident, traces back to Jesus himself. .....

.....Dan Macaulay is both a part-time Worship Pastor at Harvest Time Church in Greenwich CT and an internationally known worship leader, artist, and composer with an expanding traveling ministry. This blog is about how those two hats compliment ...

Today's Greenwich Time Letters To The Editor
Letters frin Readers - Gay marriage no threat -

Gay marriage law only added to basic rights

To the editor:

The April 27 letter to the editor ("Tampering with foundation," Greenwich Time), was written with such rage and hatred that the author apparently had no time to include any reason. I feel obligated to respond to the writer's hysterical claims.

To begin, the letter says, "The very definition of marriage -- the foundation of families and the cornerstone of civil society -- has been tampered with by the state of Connecticut." This is absolutely false. What S.B. 899 did was guarantee equal access to civil marriage for all Connecticut residents.

What this bill did not do is force any house of worship to offer religious marriage ceremonies to anybody. In fact, the bill was specifically amended to make sure that no religious organization would have to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies if it did not wish to (although it is still not clear to me why any organization that benefits from the tax dollars of all citizens has a legal right to discriminate against any one of them).

To state Rep. Lile Gibbons, who said that her "generation is not ready to vote 'yes' on this": Please take credit for your own intolerance, and do not blame it on an entire generation of Connecticut residents, many of whom have long been denied the dignity of equal access to the benefits of citizenship because legislators whose salaries they pay were not "ready" for equality under the law.

The only people for whom this is a "life-changing piece of legislation" are the thousands of couples who have been denied access to the rights they are entitled to under our constitution. The writer said that this legislation "will affect each and every person of our great state" and that this law will "injure marriage and families." I submit that if one's marriage is threatened by legislative language coming out of the Connecticut General Assembly, that individual is not qualified to lecture the rest of us on the sanctity of that institution.

I look forward to the day when such anger and rage is a relic of a less enlightened past.
Justin Horton
