Watchman Nee - Biograghy

Biography

Watchman Nee (1903–1972) is remembered for his leadership of an indigenous church movement in China, as well as for his books, which continue to enrich Christians throughout the world. Beginning in the 1930s, Nee helped establish local churches in China that were independent of foreign missionary organizations and were used to bring many into the Kingdom of God. From these roots sprang many of the house churches that continued to meet after Western missionaries were forced to leave the country during the Cultural Revolution. Arrested in 1952 and found guilty of a large number of false charges, Watchman Nee was imprisoned until his death in 1972.

In God We Trust

The nation's largest group of atheists and agnostics filed a lawsuit
Tuesday seeking to block an architect from engraving "In God We Trust"
and the Pledge of Allegiance at the Capitol Visitor Center in
Washington.

The Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation's lawsuit, filed in
U.S. District Court in western Wisconsin, claims the taxpayer-funded
engravings would be an unconstitutional endorsement of religion.

The House and Senate passed identical resolutions this month directing
the Architect of the Capitol to engrave "In God We Trust" and the
pledge in prominent places at the entrance for 3 million tourists who
visit the Capitol each year.
