Nyasa Times, April 10, 2012
\nIn a continuation of the story last week<\/a> about criticism from the Nkhoma Synod of the President of Malawi – who died of a sudden heart attack at the end of the week – another CCAP synod has spoken up in support of his successor Joyce Banda ( JB ).<\/p>\n

Mizo church body issues dress code<\/a><\/h3>\n

Times of India, April 9, 2012
\nThe Synod Executive Committee

Pittsburgh Tribune-Reivew, April 13, 2012
\nThis article is about the University of Pittsburgh cutting applications to certain graduate programs as a potential first step to eliminating programs due to budget considerations.

104-year-old preacher gave up driving, golf, but not the pulpit<\/a><\/h3>\n

wistv.com, April 14, 2012
\nAnd the feel-good story of the week about retired professor Dr. Joe Gettys who is about to turn 105 and still ministering at his Presbyterian Home and at the church he attends.
