Two Baptist leaders who were detained in eastern Cuba while distributing humanitarian aid from American Christians were free Tuesday, October 27, after two weeks imprisonment Christians said.
Last week the charges of "illicit financial activity" were suddenly dropped and they were released, according to Cuban church leaders.
A French court on Tuesday convicted the Church of Scientology and six of its members of organized fraud, but stopped short of banning the church.
As part of the penalties, the church was ordered to publish the results of the verdict in several national and international magazines to warn people, the judge said, about what Scientology offers and what was discovered at trial.
A school district in Georgia, USA, recently decided that cheerleaders could not longer display banners with Bible verses at school football games -- one of those 'Church and State' issues.
Result? More bible banners than ever, now displayed by fans in the stands instead of cheerleaders on the field.
While constitutional experts agree with the new policy, and many locals understand why it is being applied, the fans are using their right to free speech.
The trial of three members of 1 Mind Ministries, a religious cult, has been postponed until Jan. 27.
A fourth cult member will have his case heard on Friday -- a possible sign that he intends to plead guilty, AP reports.
The cult members have been accused of starving a toddler to death because he would not say 'amen' at meal times.
