7:30 a.m.
Psalm 1 (NiV)
1
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the
counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of
sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. 2 But his
delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his
law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree
planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit
in season and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers. 4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the
judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the
righteous. 6 For the LORD watches over the way
of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will
perish.
Revelation 22:1–7 (NIV)
1
Then the angel showed me the river of the
water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the
throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the
middle of the great street of the city. On each
side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing
twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every
month. And the leaves of the tree are for the
healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be
any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb
will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
4
They will see his face, and his name will be on
their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night.
They will not need the light of a lamp or the
light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them
light. And they will reign for ever and ever. 6 The

and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of

the things that must soon take place.” 7 “Behold,
I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the
words of the prophecy in this book.”

Psalm 37:23–28 (KJV)
23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the
LORD: and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though
he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the
LORD upholdeth him with his hand. 25 I have
been young, and now am old; yet have I not
seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed
begging bread. 26 He is ever merciful, and
lendeth; and his seed is blessed. 27 Depart from
evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

United nations moves to adopt
indigenous declaration
by Valerie Taliman / Indian Country Today
© Indian Country Today, September 14, 2007. All Rights Reserved
NEW YORK - After three decades of drafts,
deliberations and delays, the United Nations
General Assembly voted Sept. 13 to adopt the
Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
The majority, 143 countries, voted in favor. As
expected, the only countries opposing the adoption
were the United States, Canada, New Zealand and
Australia. The main objections of these countries
centered on indigenous peoples’ control over land
and resources, their right to self-determination, and
that the declaration might give indigenous peoples
veto authority over development on their lands and
territories.
Its adoption marks the first time in history
that indigenous peoples’ collective rights to self-
determination and control over their lands and
natural resources will formally be recognized by the
United Nations.
‘’The international community is finally
recognizing that indigenous peoples have a
permanent right to exist as distinct peoples, and
that we have a right to be self-governing,’’ said
Robert Tim Coulter, one of the original authors of
the declaration who worked with chiefs from the
Iroquois Confederacy to draft the first 10 points
in 1976.
‘’The world is taking a formal stand that
indigenous peoples have the right to be free
from all forms of discrimination and to maintain
Sunday, September 30, 2007 7 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
our cultures, societies, languages and spiritual
practices,’’ said Coulter, executive director of the
Indian Law Resource Center in Helena, MT, and
Washington, DC.
While the declaration is non-binding, it will still
have a major influence on eliminating discrimination
and human rights violations suffered by more than
370 million indigenous peoples worldwide.
The declaration sets minimal standards on how
countries should treat indigenous peoples, and it
will influence laws and federal policies affecting
more than 560 Indian nations in the United States.
In recent years, there have been many
unfavorable U.S. Supreme Court cases that denied
Indian people equality under the law by simply
taking their land with no compensation.
Coulter said over time the declaration will
influence U.S. court decisions that too often
are discriminatory and unfair. Congress, Indian
nations and Native advocates also will be guided
by principles in the declaration when policies in the
U.S. Justice and Interior departments are being
developed.
In the last five years, there have been at least four
cases in which the U.S. Supreme Court looked to
international law to help shape its decisions: a death
penalty case regarding the mentally retarded, a case
in Michigan on desegregation, and a same sex case
in Texas, among others.
 PASTOR’S PAGE
indigenous declaration, cont’d
If international law mandates that indigenous
peoples must be accorded the same rights as
others, it will help reduce widespread racism and
discrimination.
The declaration will be especially helpful in
South and Central America, where the Mayan
village of El Estor was burned in recent months to
make way for a nickel mine owned by a Canadian
company.
One provision in the declaration that may help
communities like El Estor states that indigenous
peoples have the right to ‘’free, prior and informed
consent’’ over development affecting their lands,
territories and resources.
For hundreds of years colonizing countries
moved into indigenous peoples’ homelands,
but never shared the benefits or paid them for
land and resources taken. In Canada, Australia,
New Zealand and the Americas, many tribes and
indigenous peoples lack sufficient political clout to
protect their ways of life when extractive industries,
transnational corporations and countries decide
to take their lands and resources, often with no
compensation.
Armand MacKenzie, an international human
rights lawyer and activist, said his people, the Innu
of Labrador and Quebec, have launched legal
challenges against Canada to recover land that was
taken when Canada passed a law that unilaterally
extinguished their rights without any consultation.
‘’The declaration says we have the right to
restitution and compensation for lands that were
stolen,’’ MacKenzie said before the vote. ‘’That’s
Sunday, September 30, 2007 8 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
why Canada has been actively opposing the
declaration and is expected to vote against it.’’
The Innu in Labrador were forcibly relocated
and are said to have the highest suicide rate in
the world, especially among youth. Survival
International issued a report called ‘’Canada’s
Tibet: Killing of the Innu’’ that documents
how Canada’s harsh policies have devastated a
traditional culture.
Indigenous peoples’ collective rights are unique
by virtue of their history, cultures and ancestral ties
to their homelands. While all citizens of the world
have individual human rights, indigenous peoples
also hold collective rights where language, culture,
ceremonies, medicines, sacred sites and lands are
concerned.
At the international level, human rights laws are
made by treaties, conventions or covenants such
as the Convention on the Rights of Women and
the Convention on the Elimination of Racism and
Discrimination.
The declaration is expected to eventually
become a convention and then binding
international law within a few years. Many states
are operating by and honoring some of these rights
now.

Law Resource Center in Helena, Montana. She can be reached

IRAQI christians
FLEe at staggering rates
Dear Trinity Member,
With more than 2 million Iraqis having fled
their country and another 2 million displaced
within, the feeling of insecurity and instability
there is pervasive. Whether Sunni or Shi`ite
Muslim, or Christian, Iraq’s population of
27 million yearns for the day when calm and peace
will prevail.
The Christian population of Iraq, numbering
about 1 million in 2003, is an ecumenical
community—Catholics are the most numerous
comprising roughly two-thirds of the Christian
population, but there are also significant Orthodox
communities (the Syrian and Armenian Orthodox
are the largest), and a small Protestant presence
that includes the five-congregation Presbyterian
Church of Iraq.
Feeling the same desperation all Iraqis are
experiencing, Christians, like others, seek a more
hospitable circumstance. They have been leaving at
staggering rates.
Sectarian strife of this degree is a new
phenomenon in Iraq, emerging and building over
the past four years. Iraqi Christians and Muslims
had enjoyed good relations until this most recent
episode in the country’s long history.
While communal conflict has riddled Iraq and
affected everyone, the Iraqi Christian population
has been a target in part for its assumed association
with the West—particularly the United States—and
the military campaign it waged which has been a
main cause of the instability of the country.
Sunday, September 30, 2007 9 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
The Refugee Crisis in Iraq Act (S.1651),
sponsored by Senators Kennedy, Smith, and other
senators from both parties, would help these
victims of terrorism by prioritizing vulnerable
individuals, providing expedited special immigrant
visas for those who have helped U.S. troops, and
allowing those who seek safety to efficiently apply
for relief.
To be admitted to the United States, Iraqis
must pass extended screening processes in addition
to rigorous background checks and security
procedures mandated for all refugees. Many
members have asked me what can they do. Please
see below:
Some other things you can do:
• Observe a time of prayer each day at noon
(Eastern time) – Iraqi Christians know that
we will observe this vigil.
• Add your name to the “100,000 for Peace:
Join Protest to Prayer” petition associated
with the UCC Collegium’s Pastoral Letter on
the Iraq War, at www.ucc.org/100kforpeace/
• Visit Global Ministries’ Middle East and
Europe home page for Iraq resources:

Sincerely yours,

the results of a Redeemed LifE
A Greater Witness to Others

T here is a wonderful story of a merchant who was asked to make a

donation to the church where he was a member.
As the canvasser and the merchant talked in the merchant’s shop, the
merchant gladly wrote a check for $250. Just then, the man was called
to the telephone. When he came back, he looked unhappy. “I was just
read a telegram over the phone. One of my ships has gone down and all
the cargo is lost. That makes a difference for my business. I’ll have to
write you a different check.”
He took back his $250 check and ripped it up. He wrote another one
and gave it to the canvasser.
“But the check is for $1,000!” exclaimed the canvasser. “Did you
make a mistake? Maybe you meant to write $100?”
“No,” replied the merchant. “Now is the time I need to give even
more to my Christ. And a bigger check can be a greater witness to
others.”
