 unison scripture
7:30 a.m.
PSA LM 51 :1 -1 1 (KJV )
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to
thy lovingkindness: according unto the
multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my
transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from
mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my
sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and
done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be
justified when thou speakest, and be clear when
thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in
iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward
parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make
me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop,
and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be
whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and
gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken
may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and
blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a
clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy
presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
--------------------------------------

I SAM UEL 4:17 -2 2 (KJV )
17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel
is fled before the Philistines, and there hath
been also a great slaughter among the people,
and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas,
are dead, and the ark of God is taken. 18 And
it came to pass, when he made mention of the
ark of God, that he fell from off the seat
backward by the side of the gate, and his neck
brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and
heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
Sunday, July 10, 2005
19 And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife,
was with child, near to be delivered: and when
she heard the tidings that the ark of God was
taken, and that her father in law and her
husband were dead, she bowed herself and
travailed; for her pains came upon her. 20 And
about the time of her death the women that
stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou
hast born a son. But she answered not, neither
did she regard it. 21 And she named the child
Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from
Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and
because of her father in law and her husband.
22 And she said, The glory is departed from
Israel: for the ark of God is taken.

LU KE 4 :1 /14 -19 ( NRSV)
1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from
the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the
wilderness, 14 Then Jesus, filled with the
power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and a
report about him spread through all the
surrounding country. 15 He began to teach in
their synagogues and was praised by everyone.
16 When he came to Nazareth, where he had
been brought up, he went to the synagogue on
the sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood
up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet
Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll
and found the place where it was written:
18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me to bring good news
to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release
to the captives and recovery of sight to the
blind, to let the oppressed go free, 19 to
proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

N EW DAR FUR PE ACE AND
AC COUNT ABILITY AC T
Thursday, June 30, new legislation on
Darfur, the Dar f ur Peace an d Accou ntab ility
Act (HR 31 27 ), was introduced in the House
by Reps. Hyde, Payne, Smith, Lantos, Royce,
Tancredo, Wolf, Jackson-Lee and Capuano.
HR 3127 has been introduced by a strong
bipartisan coalition in the House. It is expected
to be marked up and scheduled for floor action
next week after Congress returns from its July
4 recess (July 1-10). Discussions are
beginning on a possible Senate companion.
HR 3127 is modeled on previous
legislation, the Darfur Genocide
Accountability Act (HR 1424), but does not
include authorization for the use of force, oil
sanctions, or a no fly zone. It does include:
- Sense of Congress language
reaffirming the finding of genocide, urging
expansion and a stronger mandate for the AU
mission; calling on the U.S. to render
assistance to efforts of the ICC in Darfur;
calling for “additional, dispositive measures” if
the AU mission fails to stop the genocide; and
calling for appointment of a Presidential
Envoy for Sudan;
- Asset and travel sanctions against
individuals designated by the President as
responsible for atrocities in Darfur (allowing a
Presidential waiver);
- Authorization to the Administration
to provide assistance to reinforce the AU
mission (AMIS), “including but not limited to”
logistics, transport, communications, training,
Sunday, July 10, 2005 6 ©2005 Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
command and control, technical, and aerial
surveillance;
- Instructions to use the U.S. voice,
vote and influence to advocate NATO
reinforcement of AMIS, including assets to
deter air strikes against civilians, logistical,
transport, communications, training, technical,
command and control, aerial surveillance and
intelligence support;
- Denial of entry at U.S. ports to cargo
ships or oil tankers engaged in business or
trade in the oil sector of Sudan or involved in
the shipment of goods for use by Sudan Armed
Forces;
- Prohibition of non-humanitarian
assistance from countries which violate the
military embargo imposed by UNSCR 1556
and 1591;
- Direction to the Administration to
pursue passages of a UNSC resolution
expanding AMIS, pressing on peace talks,
imposing individual sanctions, and calling for
suspension of Sudan’s rights and privileges of
membership in the General Assembly; and,
- Reporting requirements on sanctions
imposed by the Comprehensive Peace in
Sudan Act (2004) and on the status of the
AMIS mission and U.S. assistance to it.
Wh at abo ut HR 1 42 4?
While other legislation in the House,
the Darfur Genocide Accountability Act (HR
1424), had previously received significant
support (120 cosponsors) and notable public
attention, it had not garnered sufficient
bipartisan backing to move forward.
 PASTOR’S PAGE
Objections by leadership in the House to
certain provisions (particularly authorization of
use of force and oil sanctions) made clear that
HR 1424 would not move forward. I t is
always ab ou t the o il, isn't i t?
Thus, the original sponsors of HR
1424 worked with leadership in the House to
craft a bill that would garner strong bipartisan
support and move forward while still
addressing the key issues of civilian
protection, accountability, an end to the
violence in Darfur, and a comprehensive peace
in Sudan. The result is HR 3127, the Darfur
Peace and Accountability Act.
While it does not include some of the
strongest provisions of HR 1424, it maintains a
strong stand on support for the African Union
mission, including a NATO role. It also
includes a number of individual sanctions and
prohibitions.
In addition, it includes a call for
cooperation with the ICC (which was not in
HR 1424); and requires useful reporting by the
Administration on the critical issues of AMIS
support and U.S. sanctions. It also maintains a
bipartisan coalition on Darfur and ensures
legislative action this summer. The new bill,
HR 3127, is supported by original sponsors of
HR 1424 and Republican leaders.

STOP VIOLE NCE
AGAINST WOM EN!
The Violence Against Women Act
(VAWA) is due to be reauthorized in 2005.
This legislation has provided critical support
for local communities in domestic violence
prevention and intervention work for over ten
years. A bill to reauthorize and strengthen
VAWA has been introduced in the House, HR
2876. The Senate version was introduced
earlier in June.
The original VAWA passed in 1994
represents an important milestone in the work
to end violence against women. VAWA made
funding available to local law enforcement
agencies, judicial and court systems, and child
abuse prevention and campus education
programs. It also provided funding for
programs assisting older violence survivors,
those living with disabilities and those living
in rural areas where access to services is more
difficult.
VAWA-supported programs have
proven successful in addressing domestic
violence, dating violence, sexual assault and
stalking. Yet much work remains to be done
to address the many forms of violence against
women. There is still a great need for
Congress to address violence against Native
American women, to stop trafficking of
women and children, and to provide support
for housing and economic security for
survivors of domestic violence.
Working to end violence against
women in all its forms is essential to the task
 PASTOR’S PAGE
of building a culture of peace with justice in
this country. Contact your representative and
urge her/him to support the Violence Against
Women Act of 2005 (HR 2876). To send a

EM ERG ING T OBACC O

T OBACC O PR ODUCT S
FROM KUSH TO PURPL E HAZ E
Prepared by George Crawford, SYNERGY
CIS (6/16/05), metroadvocacy@yahoo.com
Marijuana-Themed tobacco products
are being sold in gas stations in Georgia. The
terms KUSH and Pu r ple Haze are alternative
names for marijuana. These names are being
associated with tobacco products and
marijuana-flavored candy. The tobacco
products are called blunt wraps.
The brands of interest include True
Blunts (KUSH) and Royal Blunts ( Pur ple
Haze) . The marijuana-flavored candy is called
Kronic Kandy, which is another version of
Chronic Candy. Specifically, there are two
Kronic Kandy lollipops of interest; they are
called KUSH and Purple Haze.
As with Chronic Candy, Kronic
Kandy uses alternative marijuana names to
identify specific lollipops. Royal Blunts and
True Blunts are using alternative marijuana
names/themes to identify specific blunt wraps.
Even though the companies argue that KUSH
and Pur p le Haze represent fruit flavorings for
their products, the names imply marijuana
themes.
HYDROBLUNTS DISTRIBUTOR,
Inc. is the distributor of Royal Blunts, True
Blunts and Kronic Kandy (Chronic Candy) in

 PASTOR’S PAGE
Georgia. The name Hydroblunts essentially
means the following: HYRDO translates into
marijuana grown in water and BLUNTS
translates into cigars (blunt wraps) filled with
marijuana.
It is widely known that marijuana
smokers fill blunt wraps and/or hollowed out
cigars with marijuana. Many hip-hop artists
openly engage in this practice. This is
significant because hip-hop artists can make
the practice popular among youth.
We know that hip-hop artists set
cultural agendas/trends among young people
(worldwide). If young people view marijuana
use by hip-hop artists as being cool, then the
practice of using tobacco products to smoke
marijuana by hip-hop artists will also be
viewed as being cool.
Recent Royal and True Blunts
advertisements featured popular hip-hop artists
such as Baby of Cash Money and Warren G
either using or promoting blunt wraps. An
earlier True Blunt poster featured the phrase:
“the sticky, icky, icky icky, ooh wee.” This
phrase has been used by Snoop Dogg to
describe marijuana.
In addition, the poster features an
image of a brown cigar stuffed with a green
substance. The blunt image and the phrase
implies that True Blunt wraps can be used to
smoke marijuana. Chronic Candy (Kronic
Kandy) advertisements also feature hip-hop
artists such as Snoop Dogg and Andre 3000
using the candy.
Chronic Candy advertisements include
the phrases “Cigar and Blunt Customers,”
Sunday, July 10, 2005 9 ©2005 Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
“Every Lick Is Like Taking A Hit” and “Tell
A Friend and Not A Cop.” In addition, one of
the Chronic Candy Corporation’s gummy
candies is called “Icky Sticky Skunk Buds.”
It appears that certain companies have
a very strong interest in targeting young people
with marijuana-flavored candies in hopes of
1) normalizing marijuana use among youth and
2) creating future customers for tobacco
companies (blunts/cigars) and marijuana
dealers. An increase in youth marijuana use
may translate into an increase in youth tobacco
use (blunts/cigar) in the future. This will
further translate into future increases in profits
for tobacco companies.
It will not take long for youth
experimenting with marijuana-flavored candy
such as KUSH or Pur ple Haze lollipops
(Kronic Kandy) to make a connection with
marijuana themed tobacco products such as
True Blunts’ KUSH blunt wraps and Royal
Blunts’ Pu r ple Haze blunt wraps.

please visit the following websites:

COOKING THIS SUMMER! Then you shall keep the feast of weeks to the
LORD your GOD with the tribute of a freewill
offering from your hand, which you shall give
as the LORD your GOD blesses you. Every
man shall give as he is able, according to the
blessing of the LORD your GOD which He
has given you. Deuteronomy 16:10, 17
(NRSV)
Consider Your Blessings
Keep in mind good stewardship of time, talent
and treasure. Have you been blessed in one
area more abundantly than in others?
Give As You Are Blessed
Do you feel as though you are not able to give
enough money to make a difference but you
are a gifted musician or teacher? So if you are
a teacher, teach. If you have time, volunteer.
Perhaps your job keeps you travelling and your
Thos e of y ou time and talents are not as available to your
at tendi ng the t rip church, but you are able to give significant
this s um mer t o financial gifts.
Nig er ia and Ghana
may p ick up y our Proportionate Giving
book in the Ak iba. Give in proportion to what you have received.
Give proportionally and as you are blessed.
You may find time, talent or monies that you
