ACL's Make it Count WA drew 1,000 attendees to hear from WA Deputy Premier Eric Ripper and WA Opposition Leader Colin Barnett just three days before the State Election. "Before the meeting I was leaning towards the Labor, however, after the meet I now lean towards Liberal because of my concern for Labor's stands on key ethical issues", voiced a pastor at the meeting. Another observer at the meeting, medical doctor and advocate of Medicine with Morality, Dr Lachlan Dunjey, wrote, "The ACL meeting at Burswood was very good, very well run, and extremely informative. Eric Ripper had a hard time defending his government’s appalling record on matters that concern us as Christians."

Sep 4 Charisma's Steve Strang endorses John McCain for US Presidency. "We understand why some like Barack Obama. He is young and personable, and his call for change is something that resonates with many Americans. He has reached out to the evangelical community as has no other Democrat since Jimmy Carter. And he is clear when he articulates his Christian faith, even though he has stated publicly that Christianity is not the only road to heaven," says Strang, the founder of the popular Christian magazine. McCain's tougher stands on abortiion and homosexual issues too have weighted on Strang's decision. Meanwhile, McCain's VP choice, Sen. Palin, recovered quickly from the setback of his teenage's daughter pregnancy by gaining support from the Christian community through the media reports of her stand on faith issues and her church's involvement - she attends the Alaskan Wasilla Assembly of God.

Aug 13 Chinese House Churches to Shut Meetings Down During Beijing Olympics. According to China Aid Association, (CAA), the document, drafted by Chinese government officials, specifies that the House Churches in China:"...refrain from organizing and joining illegal gatherings and refrain from receiving donations, sermons and preaching from overseas religious organizations and groups that have a purpose." CAA also says the document also prohibits the churches from gathering in their communities for more than 3 months while the Olympics are taking place. Should church members violate these rules they will be subject to the disciplinary actions of the Chinese Government. "The discovery of this document provides further evidence of the PRC's hypocrisy towards creating a 'harmonious society' marked by religious freedom and rule of law." <AssistNews>

Aug 6 Cambodia General Election July 27, 2008 Fresh from his election victory Hun Sen, PM since 1985, is offering the opposition Funcinpec ministerial posts in his government. It is not surprising that Hun Sen is embarking on this path considering the border tension with Thailand and the need to fast-track the economic recovery, in particularly, the lucrative newly discovered oil and gas fields off Cambodia waters. The opposition parties were led by disunited royalists who are opposed to Christian activities in this Buddhist nation. Meanwhile, the Church in Cambodia enjoys relative freedom and is one of the fastest growing in the world. Cambodia economic growth rates in recent years ranked amongst the highest in the world, partly owing to the low points Cambodia experienced after the disastrous Pol Pot regime and the civil wars that followed.

Jul 18 Pope Benedict XVI's inaugural pontiff's all-emcompassing message at the World Youth Day in Sydney both encouraged and challenged all within and without the Church. "World Youth Day in Sydney has seen an unprecedented public proclamation of the Gospel of Christ through the Australian media. Far from just a call to private faith behind the four walls of a church, this event has like no other, challenged, questioned and confronted secular society with the social claims of the Christian Gospel " -- ACL (Australian Christian Lobby)
