HERE’S THE NEW DEAL BOEHNER ANNOUNCED THURSDAY MORNING
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) announced Thursday a deal that would extend the nation’s borrowing limit by six weeks – but it won’t include any provisions to defund Obamacare. The proposal, should President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats accept it, will help the Treasury Department avoid defaulting on its payments, but it’s uncertain whether it’ll bring the partial government shutdown to a close.

Religious Leaders Across Vietnam Call for Release of Christians
In Communist Vietnam, taking a stance in favor of Democracy or greater human freedoms can be dangerous. Yet many Christians find themselves compelled by their beliefs to stand up on behalf of those who are repressed. Even blogging on the internet can get you arrested. Last week, an English language petition signed by leaders from various faiths called on the Vietnamese government to release 14 Catholic and Protestant youth imprisoned for their "political opinions." Such a public petition is a bold move and could invite further surveillance and restrictions to fall on religious leaders in Vietnam.
Muslims and Christians in Pakistan Protect Churches with Human Chain
In protest to the September 22 bombing of All Saints Church in Peshawar, Pakistan, Christians and Muslims in Lahore joined together this past Sunday to form a human chain protecting a church.

Hopefully this is the beginning of a movement that sees a decrease in Christian persecution in Pakistan.
