said Elder Nelson in a directly violent way so much as Satan alienates or withdraws himself from God Satan wasn't thrown out of heaven" Mr Paul said "but jumped of his own accord" "There's an image in Islamic scripture of God having a sheath over his real self" said Mr Paul "All he does is remove it or lift up the veil and evil flees because it cannot stand his divine presence "It's a form of passive power that allows freedom to exist on the part of your adversary" he said "God's very reality persuades the adversary to depart" The idea is similar to traditional Chinese belief that the need for an individual — or government — to use force to exact obedience represents a failure that the preferred method of gaining obedience is through persuasion Mr Paul also tied Mormon belief in a plurality of worlds — and gods — into the interdenominational cooperation implicit in the Parliament of World Religions The 1993 Parliament of World Religions has attracted more than 6000 people It ends today at Chicago's Palmer House Hilton Hotel with an address by the Dalai Lama spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists "But spiritual progress has lagged behind We see evidences of increasing ethnic strife and hatred Nationalism seems to be taking priority over brotherly love Violence and civil wars are raging" the apostle said But the world's religions can make a difference Elder Nelson said "The dismal dusk of today's spiritual drift provides a rare opportunity for the radiance of religion to light the way to a new tomorrow" he said "Because there is much that is praiseworthy in each of our faiths" he said "it is important for us to maintain the integrity of our religious institutions and to preserve tolerance of each other's sacred beliefs" Mr Paul's address was on violent episodes in scripture He was one of several participants to speak on religion and violence While bloody episodes can be found in the myths and sacred texts of most religions he argued they are not incompatible with the notion of a peaceful deity For example he said Revelation the Bible's last book presents an image of God fighting a war against Satan "Does this validate a Christian's desire to forcefully fight someone he or she sees teaching or preaching evil?

Why do they have to judge the person?" said Beaudet anything I think they have to be reminded that's not their job" Beaudet also notes the bulletin never mentions homosexuality per se and worries about the absence of safe-seguidelines alx though he acknowledges the faith's proscription on sex outside heterosexual marriage But to Perry a nurse specializing in perinatology the issue of celibacy is crucial Perry who was infected with HIV through a 1979 blood transfusion but remains free of the disease's manifestations says her circumstances and experiences prove the principle Just as people who use condoms can become pregnant they also can be infected with the HIV virus which in turn could be passed on to an unborn child she said And Perry said faithful Mormons — gay or straight — can put chastity above hormones "I've sat on mine for 39 years" she said with a laugh And Perry sympathizes with the plight of gays who if they are to fully subscribe to the faith must remain chaste "Life's a long time to think about being celibate and it's rotten" she said SCHOOL & Humanists of Utah i52 E CHURCH sum THIRD CHURCH & Fair Has Country-Wester- mix ?Pm km RELIGIOUS OrGiO 3 PRESERVED

Councilwoman Sydney Fonnesbeck will explore reasons for leaving or staying in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints whether abuse can be avoided and spiritual comfort found within the church and whether those who leave the church still can effect change within it Ex-Mormo- Marty Beaudet and Jean Perry are members of the Mormon Church's singles congregation in San Francisco and they're good friends who have worked together to help people with AIDS But their opinions differ sharply on an internal Mormon Church bulletin that offers priesthood leaders a lesson on HIV and AIDS as well as a primer on the faiths position on those afflicted Beaudet executive director of Affirmation: Gay & Lesbian Mormons says church officials clearly distinguish between the "guilty" and the "innocent" — and judge gays who contract the virus sexually more harshly than people infected in other ways "They always couch it in such terms but if you understand where they're coming from its still suggesting they have no sympathy for homosexuals" says Beaudet Perry however holds that the church — and God — make no such distinction "I don't think the Lord's infinite mercy has to do with whether you live or die of the virus" she said The special bulletin issued in r March contains a section on the disease and advice on counseling Gordon B Hinckley first counselor in the First Presidency said in a 1987 address that while compassion should be extended to AIDS sufferers there is particular concern for those who contract the virus through transfusions babies infected by their mothers and "innocent marriage partners" infected by a spouse In the Lord's eternal plan those who endure such suffering pain and injustice not of their own doing will receive compensathe Lord's tory blessings
