++ Dec 21: We take you to Bridge of Peace Community
Church in Fairview, Camden, for the celebration of
the 30th anniversary of Pastor Wolfgang D. Herz-
Lane's arrival in the city. As he wrote on the
church Web site: "October 29 marks the 30th
anniversary of my arrival in the United States, and
November 14 in Camden!
"I was a young, idealistic (and perhaps naïve)
German, sent to Camden by Action Reconciliation /
Services for Peace to work as a full-time volunteer
with the Lutheran churches for 18 months. I had it
all planned out: My job was waiting for me; my car
was sitting in a rented garage that had been paid in
advance for 18 months; all was set for me to return
and pick up my life where I had left off. But then
Camden happened: I fell in love with the people,
with the work, with the city -- and the 18 months
have now turned into 30 years!
"God called me to something new that October day in
1975, and my life hasn't been the same since."

Director of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Center for the
Humanities, past president of the Society for
American City and Regional Planning History,
Rutgers-Camden history professor, and author of a
new book, "Camden: After the Fall". We reached out
to Dr. Gillette after a long search for an expert
who would give us a balanced assessment of the
current redevelopment plans for Camden City. Join us
as we go beyond the spin and the protests, toward the
heart of what the deal really is.
GUEST EXECUTIVE PRODUCER:
Colandus "Kelly" Francis, president of the Camden
County branch of the NAACP.

++ Jan 11: Philadelphia immigration attorney and
human-rights investigator Tom Griffin returns with an
update on Haiti: "We have completed an investigation
and confirmed that the UN massacred a large group of
families on July 6, 2005. We have information,
confirmed by the police themselves, that they
attacked a large USAID soccer match along with
civilian 'attaches' carrying and killing with
machetes. I was in the national prison, which is
overflowing with people who have no charges and have
never seen a judge, and US deportees who have never
broken the law in Haiti but remain detained in
horrific conditions indefinitely. It is a war on the
poor, and young men are the primary targets."

Men".

the best audio quality. Starting a few days or so
later, you can hear the 16-Kbps streaming audio

This broadcast schedule, like any, may change.

Life-Net Radio needs your support -- not in the form
of donations, but in the form of your own
participation, or your sponsorship of somebody else.
Or you could even sponsor an air slot and simply give
us a topic or angle -- or an event to cover. Any of
these options makes you a Life-Net Radio 'guest
executive producer' or 'associate broadcaster', which
entitles you to as much control as you want over the
show(s) you and I make.
Let's make a Life-Net Radio Deal!
