Martin and the Bus Boycott in comic form!



Are you the kind of funky hipster who wants to write a great PEE paragraph on MLK and the Bus Boycott but prefers to get their knowledge from a comic rather than a proper book or other superior source of knowledge?  You are?!  Then you, my friend, are going to L-O-V-E this comic about that very topic!  It looks like it was made in the Stone Age but the history buffs among you will know that is impossible because the Boycott was a 20th Century event!

HACKSAW RIDGE (2016)







HACKSAW RIDGE is the extraordinary true story of Desmond Doss [Andrew Garfield] who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun. He was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon, as he believed that while the war was justified, HIS CHRISTIAN FAITH TAUGHT HIM THAT killing was nevertheless wrong. As an army medic, he single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. Doss was the first conscientious objector to ever earn the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Church of England votes against gay marriage report




Members of the Church of England's ruling body have voted not to "take note" of a controversial report on homosexuality and same-sex marriage.

The report by the House of Bishops called for a "culture of welcome and support" for gay Christians.
But it maintained that marriage in church should only be between a man and a woman, and services should not be held to bless same-sex relationships.

The motion was defeated by the House of Clergy, following hours of debate.

The House of Bishops voted overwhelmingly (43-1) in favour of the report, and the House of Laity backed it by 106 votes to 83.

But to win approval the report had to win backing in all three houses and the Clergy rejected it by 100 votes to 93, with two abstentions.


Bishops will now have to produce a new report on the issue.
