PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, July 3, 1980
Page 8
Members Look to God in Continued Legal Battle
My faith in God and in those He has chosen to do His Work increased
as I considered that after a full year, after all their diligent
efforts to find a fault with the Work, the Attorney General is
totally without justification.
I thanked God that His Work is
so efficiently and honestly operated.
--Mrs. W.B. (Plain Dealing, LA)
The Philadelphia era of God's Church was prophesied to have but
"a little strength," yet under Mr. Armstrong's human leadership, we
have been able to use that God-given strength to accomplish some
remarkable things; the state is no match for God's Church. The
true leadership Christ has been showing over this Work cannot be
doubted. Neither can Mr. Armstrong's apostleship.
--Kevin B. {Pasadena, CA)
I heard the news on the radio about the Church's court case. Mr.
Rader said that the Church would continue fighting the court order
to submit all Church records. God will certainly work something
when the proper time comes.
--Laverne K. (Long Beach, CA)
Despite our seemingly continuous legal setbacks, the spiritual
resources of this Church will completely overwhelm the State of
California!
--William A. (Avon Park, FL)
Since this trouble with the State of California began, my husband
and I have never been closer together than we are right now. We
are solidly and prayerfully behind Mr. Armstrong.
--Mrs. Olin M. (Longview, TX)
I have received the "State Vs Church" pamphlet and shall certainly
write letters to the people whose names are on the back. Hope and
pray this will do some good to awaken the Attorney General of
California to the fact that he is in the wrong!
--Mrs. Edward A. (Redwood City, CA)
ON THE WORLD SCENE
FUROR OVER JERUSALEM--WHEN WILL IT EXPLODE? On Monday, June 30, the U.N.
Security Council in a 14-0 vote, with the United States abstaining, re
affirmed its demand that Israel withdraw from captured Arab territories
and condemned a plan to make occupied East Jerusalem part of a unified
Israeli capital.
The resolution was introduced by 22 Moslem states and later endorsed by
14 other nations. By the time it came to vote, the text of the resolu
tion had been toned down considerably from the original Moslem demands,
especially those threatening sanctions, enabling Washington to abstain
rather than cast a veto.
Specifically, the resolution deplored "the persistence of Israel in
changing the physical character, demographic composition, institutional
