  • Child being blessed by Rev. Stephen W. Pogue, the Pastor, while a young woman (right) has fell on the floor crying and invoking the Lord, after having being filled by the Holy Spirit, at the Hip Hop Church in Harlem, New York, NY., on Thursday, July 21, 2006. A new growing phenomenon in the United States, and in particular in its most multiethnic city, New York, the Hip Hop Church is the meeting point between Hip Hop and Christianity, a place where ?God? is worshipped not according to religious dogmatisms and rules, but where the ?Holy Spirit? is celebrated by the community through young, unique, passionate Hip Hop lyrics. Its mission is to present the Christian Gospel in a setting that appeals to both, those individuals who are confessed Christians, as well as those who are not regularly attending traditional Services, while helping many youngsters from underprivileged neighbourhoods to feel part of a community, to make them feel loved and to help them not to give up when problems arise. The Hip Hop Church is not only forward-thinking but it also has an important impact where life at times can be difficult and deceiving, and where young people can be easily influenced for the worst purposes. At the Hip Hop Church, members are encouraged to sing, dance and express themselves in any way that the ?Spirit of God? moves them. Honours to students who have overcome adversity, community leaders, church leaders and some of the unsung pioneers of Hip Hop are common at this Church. Here, Hip Hop is the culture, while Jesus is the centre. Services are being mainly in Harlem, where many African Americans live; although the Hip Hop Church is not exclusive and people from any ethnic group are happily accepted and involved with as much enthusiasm. Rev. Ferguson, one of its pioneer founders, has developed ?Hip-Hop Homiletics?, a preaching and worship technique designed to reach the children in their language and highlight their sensibilities, while bringing forth Christianity.

  • Bakar, 2, is crying at dawn in front of his home  in the unrecognised village of Wadi el Na'am, pop. 4000, close to Beer Sheva, the capital of the Negev, a large deserted area in the south of Israel.  Wadi el Na'am is located near a large industrial site, Ramat Hovav, and has no infrastructure or electric energy. Water is provided only via storage tanks. It has no health services as the only clinic is deemed illegal and bound to be demolished, as the rest of the structures in the area. Numbering around 200.000 in Israel, the Bedouins constitute the native ethnic group of these areas, they farm, grow wheat, olives and live in complete self sufficiency. Many of them were in these lands long before the Israeli State was created and their traditional lifestyle is now threatened by subtle Governmental policies. The seven Bedouin towns already built are all between the 10 more impoverished towns in Israel. ..
