Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Virginia Senator Tim Kaine campaigned together for the first time Saturday, sounding an optimistic message of hope in the future, in contrast to the past week's Republican Party convention, where many speakers warned the United States is in decline. 
Clinton introduced Kaine to a crowd of cheering supporters in the state of Florida, saying she and her choice for vice president will "offer a very different vision" for America, one that calls for "building bridges, not walls" - a jab at Republican Donald Trump's call for building a wall between the U.S. and Mexico to keep out illegal immigrants. 
"Senator Tim Kaine is everything that Donald Trump and Mike Pence [the Republican running mate] are not," Clinton declared. "He is ready to step into this job and lead on day one. And he is a progressive who likes to get things done."

Trump had no campaign appearances Saturday but spoke out in a series of tweets that appeared to be aimed at dividing Democratic voters, especially over economic issues. The Republican candidate labeled Kaine a "job killer" for his support of the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal. The TPP was strongly opposed by Clinton's opponent during party primary elections and caucuses, Senator Bernie Sanders. 
"Bernie supporters are outraged," Trump claimed.

Utah Mormons, Protestants finding new spiritual home in ancient Orthodox church

By  BOB MIMS   |   The Salt Lake Tribune The Salt Lake Tribune It shook the fundamentalist Christian world to its roots:  Hank Hanegraaff , the darling of evangelicals as host of the long-running, nationally syndicated "Bible Answer Man" broadcast, had joined the Greek Orthodox Church. Hanegraaff, for nearly 30 years president of the Christian Research Institute, an evangelical apologetics ministry, also has written 20 books opposing purported cults and heresies and non-Christian faiths. If ever evangelicals had a doctrinal superhero, Hanegraaff was he. But on Palm Sunday,  in a video released via social media , there was the 67-year-old Hanegraaff kneeling for "Holy Chrismation" — a rite of anointing with oil accompanying baptism — inside  St. Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church  of Charlotte, N.C. Within days, Bott Radio Network, a 107-station strong, evangelical broadcasting empire, severed its longstanding relationship with him; other criti...

επιλογές .....κεφαλονίτικα ανέκδοτα

Κεφαλονίτικα ανέκδοτα Συζητούν τρεις παπάδες, ένας από το Αγιο όρος, ένας από την Αθήνα και ένας Κεφαλονίτης για το πως κατανέμουν τα έσοδα των εκκλησιών τους. Λέει ο παπάς από το Αγιο όρος: «Εγώ Πετάω στον αέρα όλα τα νομίσματα και όσα έρθουν κορώνα είναι του Θεού και τα δίνω για τις ανάγκες της εκκλησίας και όσα έρθουν γράμματα είναι δικά μου». Λέει ο Αθηναίος παπάς: «Και εγώ πετάω τα νομίσματα στον αέρα και όσα σταθούν όρθια είναι του Θεού και της εκκλησίας, όσα πέσουν στο πλάι (κορώνα ή γράμματα) είναι σαφώς δικά μου». Και στο τέλος ο Κεφαλονίτης ο παπάς: «Εγώ κύριοι συνάδελφοι κάνω το ίδιο που κάνετε και εσείς με πιο απλές διαδικασίες για να μη χάνουμε και χρόνο. Πετάω στον αέρα όλα τα νομίσματα. Όσα θέλει τα κρατάει ο Θεός και όσα πέσουν κάτω είναι δικά μου!» Είναι ένας Κερκυραίος, ένας Κεφαλλονίτης κι ένας Λευκαδίτης, που ξεμονάχιασαν, κάπου σ' ένα αραχνιασμένο, σκοτεινό υπόγειο ένα λυχνάρι, απ' αυτά τα μυστήρια με τα τζίνια. Το τρίψανε και ξεπετάχτηκε το τζίνι. «Έχετε ο...
