Stained Glass Screensaver: Decoration Day

It's Decoration Day here in Knoxville, Tennessee. A special service will be held down at the Old National Cemetery at 11.00AM. Lloyd Daugherty, host of The Voice, will be the featured speaker.



People will be wearing Civil War era uniforms and costumes, and there will be a 21 gun salute.

This is my design for a stained glass window based upon the Confederate Flag. Whilst I may not agree what the flag is used for by some people, artistically speaking it is a beautiful design.

Relgious News: From Human Sacrifices to Gospel Calling

Evangelical Preacher once ate Child’s Heart

Milton Blahyi, a former feared rebel commander in Liberia's brutal civil war, has admitted to taking part in human sacrifices as part of traditional ceremonies intended to ensure victory in battle.

He said the sacrifices "included the killing of an innocent child and plucking out the heart, which was divided into pieces for us to eat."

There had been numerous rumours of human sacrifices during the 1979-93 conflict but this is the first time anyone has admitted publicly to the practice.

Mr Blahyi, 37, is better known in Liberia as "General Butt Naked" because he went into combat with no clothes on, to scare the enemy.

He is now an Evangelist preacher, who prefers to use the name Joshua.

He was speaking to the BBC, after telling Liberia's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) that his forces had killed 20,000 people.
