1 Corinthians 10:31-33 NCV The answer is, if you eat or drink, or if you do anything, do it all for the glory of God. Never do anything that might hurt others—Jews, Greeks, or God’s church— just as I, also, try to please everybody in every way.

The head of the Episcopal Conference of Cameroon said that the only entity still operating inside the Central African Republic is the Catholic Church.
“The State no longer exists,” Samuel Kleda, the archbishop of Douala, said. “The only institution that is functioning is the Catholic Church. The displaced are living in Catholic parishes.”
Violence in the Central African Republic has skyrocketed since interim President Michel Djotodia resigned from that post earlier this year. The United Nations says the conflict has led to the deaths of tens of thousands and a peacekeeping force is being formed to try and help restore the peace.
Kleda and other leaders in the region are calling on Christians around the world to provide supplies and funds to the Catholic Church’s relief efforts within the country to provide food, medicine and shelter.
The Central African Republic is a mostly Christian nation that is 25 percent Catholic. Muslim rebels who have been attempting to take over the country have been in retreat from a Christian backed militia to the point they have fled the southern and western parts of the nation.
