PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, APRIL 20, 1984
PAGE 5
I just completed reading WHICH DAY IS THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH. I
found it to be quite interesting and enlightening, as well as
confusing.
I would like to get back into the church to
fellowship with other Christians, but now that I have found out
that Sunday is the wrong day to worship the Lord, where do I go?
Please let me know where there is a Christian church in my area
that I can attend on the true Sabbath day.
I would like a
representative to come out and talk to me.
B.H. {Los Angeles, CA)
I am writing this letter to ask you for some advice. I am 14
years old and the son of Lutheran parents who believe strongly in
their faith. I was confirmed in the faith last year, but since
then I have been receiving The PLAIN TRUTH, The GOOD NEWS, and
The AMBASSADOR COLLEGE BIBLE CORRESPONDENCE COURSE. I also have
25 booklets from Mr. Armstrong. From them I have learned about
subjects like: baptism, the trinity, the Lord's Supper, the Sab
bath, the feasts, "Christian" holidays, conversion, etc.
In the past two months I started keeping the Sabbath as best I
could, as well as keeping the commandments. But I came into a
prcblem. I can't keep the Passover or the Days of Unleavened
Bread because my parents would never let me. Will God accept
that? Also, what about communion and when I go to church on Sun
day? Will God forgive me? Please write back and explain what I
should do.

CENTRAL AMERICA: AS CONGRESS DEBATES AND
HESITATES, THE LOOMING DISASTER BUILDS
On April 14 President Reagan told the American public that he decided to
send emergency aid to El Salvador without congressional approval because
"we cannot turn our backs on this crisis at _2.£E doorstep" in Central
America. Mr. Reagan, in his weekly radio address, said furthermore the re
cent congressional debate over U.S. policy in Central America "has ignored
the most relevant facts." Central America, he added, "has become the stage
for a bold attempt by the Soviet Union, Cuba and Nicaragua to install
communism by force throughout this hemisphere."
In his radio speech, the president contended that El Salvador "has been the
main target of Nicaragua's covert aggression." He added: "Despite prom
ises to stop, the Sandinistas {Nicaraguan leaders) still train and direct
terrorists
in
El Salvador and provide weapons and ammunition they use
against the Salvadoran people. If it weren't for Nicaragua, El Salvador's
pro�lems would be manageable, and we could concentrate on economic and
social improvements."
"What I've said today is not pleasant to hear," Mr. Reagan continued. "But
it's important that you know Central America is vital to our interests and
to our security. It not only contains the Panama Canal, it sits astride
some of the most important sea lanes in the world, sea lanes in which a
Soviet-Cuban naval force held combat maneuvers just this week."
