To prepare the sole, mix together the mango, shallot, green onion, basil, and chili sauce. Lay out each of the sole fillets, and spread the mango mixture across each fillet. Starting from the tail, roll up each fillet and place on a baking sheet.
Preheat an over to 350 degrees. Pour the wine onto the baking pan with the fish, and cook until done, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Serve the fish on a bed of the sautéed vegetables and drizzle some sauce over the top.
For the sauce, combine the orange juice and vinegar. Bring to a boil and reduce until only 3/4 cups remains. Add the soy sauce and cook for 1 minute longer. Set aside.
In a hot sauté pan cook the peppers and cabbage until wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the green onions, and cook one minute longer.


I recently participated in a Facebook "love me" challenge in a mom's group. I quickly noticed a recurring theme on the posts of women through the ages of 20-50's. Many went back to the births of their children. Whether it was a day to post about what made them unique, what they were proud of, what fears they overcame or something they did right. So many of them shared their births. Why is this?
As women who bring forth life into this world birth matters. Birth is strong. Birth is powerful. Birth unleashes power many women did not know they had. Birth changes us. It does stay with you through your life. You will remember your birth stories whether good, bad, happy or sad. You will remember little or in great detail. Yes, it may matter personally to you whether you had a natural birth, medicated birth, vaginal birth, or cesarean birth.
Knowing this, that birth is so important, ask yourself, how are you going to prepare for this amazing, life changing, best story of your life event? Not do anything? Hope you get out what you want with no preparation or support? Or are you going to educate yourself? Plan? Read? Hire a doula? Hire a midwife? Have a planned family centered cesarean? Have an epidural? Have an un-medicated vaginal birth? Whatever you choose to do, find your amazing support early and plan for your birth mattering for the rest of your life. Choose the team who will support you, encourage you, respect you, love you, advocate for your desires and wishes, honor you and nurture you.


You know when you have a dish that you make all the time but never take the time to measure it correctly? And then people keep asking you for that recipe but you can basically just give them a list of ingredients and send them on their way? Well I finally decided to perfect my favorite coleslaw and instead of just sharing it with my friends, I'm sharing it with everyone! This coleslaw is easy to prepare but packs tons of flavor. It combines shredded purple cabbage (my favorite), green cabbage, carrots, raisins and green apples so it's crunchy, chewy, sweet and tart all at the same time. Every time I mention green apples, my mouth starts watering. Does that happen to you?
Just look at all that color! You gotta eat with your eyes first.
Combine the carrots, purple cabbage, green cabbage, green apple and raisins in a mixing bowl.
Separately, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey and garlic powder. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and stir to combine.
Green apple coleslaw can be made 1 day in advance and refrigerated until ready to serve. The longer the cabbage sits in the coleslaw dressing, the softer and less crunchy it will become.

This #Vegan #Recipe can be made without mayonnaise cause Kosher for Passover mayo is probably the most GMO you can ruin these fabulous ingredients with.
You can definitely make your own mayo, especially for Passover!!


Hong Kong indie darling Yoyo Sham was not being angsty or negative when she titled her latest album Nothing Is Under Control.
"It reflects what I've been feeling and it's not a pessimistic thing. Why do we want to control everything? Think about your perfect beach wedding – what if it rains? Or there's a typhoon or there are flight delays?
You have to think about how much of your ideal you can control," says Sham, who started her singing career doing backup vocals for Hong Kong singer Eason Chan.
Sham's previous album was her debut release – 2015's Here – which was lauded by critics and landed her a nomination for Best New Artiste at the 2016 Golden Melody Awards.
In the three years in between, Sham, a self-confessed perfectionist, has grown to be more forgiving of herself.
She says: "I used to get offstage and think only about what I did wrong. And then over time, I realised it's weird that I'm so unhappy doing what I love for a living.
These realisations, her feelings and life experiences are all reflected in the new album.
"My first album had songs I wrote 10 years before. But everything in this album was written in the last three years, so it's closer to what I am now. It's like a diary or photographs that capture certain moments in my life," says Sham in a phone interview from Hong Kong.
One such song is a duet with Chan, titled Just Another Day, that Sham wrote after witnessing a fatal car accident a few years ago.
She recounts: "I was hanging out at a performing venue and I was on the second floor when I heard this loud bang. I looked down and out the window and a girl, probably around my age, had been hit by a car.
Chan, with whom she kept in contact after she debuted as a singer, was her only choice for a duet.
"I love him, he's the best, he's perfect," Sham says. "He has such a big heart and his voice is so warm and it meant a lot to me that he was a part of my song.

The Arrive Alive Tour is bringing its popular Distracted Driving simulator to 20 schools in Tennessee this spring. This tour was made possible because of a generous grant from the Tennessee Highway Safety Office.
The tour kicked off at Oakland High School in Murfreesboro on March 20. Students at Oakland got to experience the dangers of distracted driving in a real vehicle via a state-of-the-art virtual reality simulator.
In the next two weeks, the tour visited Community High School, White House High School, Hixson High School, Centennial High School, and Lake County High School. The tour will conclude in late May.

This fly was developed by Dan Byford in the early 1970's. It's effectiveness is enhanced by the rabbit strip that is used for the wing. The soft, flowing rabbit fur wing (Zonker strip) helps to suggest the movement of minnows. The wing color can be varied for different types of fish, and a red throat can be added to suggest gills. It's an excellent bass fly that works well in both lakes and streams. It's effective for trout, bass and other species.
Step 1. Cut a section of Mylar about hook length and remove the cotton string. V-cut both ends of the rabbit strip.
Step 2. Wrap a wool underbody and slide that mylar cover over it. Leave the thread hanging in place.
Step 3 and 4. Secure the mylar with tight wraps and tie in the rabbit strip with the tips toward the rear. Reattach the thread 3/16 inch from the eye and tie in the front hackle.
Step 5. Make 3 or 4 turns of hackle and wrap back over it to form a 45 degree angle. Pull the rabbit strip over the top of the hook and tie it off. Finish the head and cement.

There are a lot of things people think of when choosing that set of work out cloths. Don't over heat your brain and follow this quick guide.
Look here for the best running tights for winter!
For men, please do not wear those leggings and very-short-shorts or your little friend between your legs will be exposed while being not exposed and people will be distracted in a bad way or offended.
For women, keep the ultra-short-shorts on the beach and wear a sports bra. A woman's chest will also need support to reduce injury. Ladies please, you do not want to expose all that skin, so embarrassing.
For all, absolutely do not wear baggy or oversized cloths, unless you want an accident to happen.
Priority #1: handles moisture fast, the cloths should be able to let sweat evaporate quickly. This will help the body to cool and lesser odour due to bacteria and other nasty stuffs. Comfortable clothes that gives support to important body parts should be the second priority.
Layering for different seasons especially when your country has 4 of them: summer, spring, autumn, winter. In the tropics there are also 4 seasons: cold, cold and flooded, hot and moist, and hellishly hot and dry. Always keep this in mind when going for the outdoor work-out.
There are so many brands to choose from and here are the top pics from well-known to not that well known but still great.

UnderArmour – an ultimate in sports cloths that has the support to boost with an extensive range of cloths. It is extremely comfortable in any occasion and can go the extra mile during a sports routine.
Nike – This one is everywhere the best range mixed with style. If the previous two is not in your local market then Nike is the next go to for your workout needs.
Reebok – another brand that is everywhere with more than 100 years of history. This is the perfect outdoors wear brand you can go to with their brand focusing on outdoors.
Adidas – Street + Gym in one, is the equation in Adidas' mind. They mix casual street style clothing and workout cloths well. This is a brand for the younger ones who want to go places while exercising.
Alala –nothing better for that yoga class than Alala. The stretch-friendly of all apparels this one is not that easy to rip when doing those seemingly impossible bends and twists.

Father's Day was celebrated at all our three centres and wished Fathers. On the same day Yoga Day was also celebrated and children participated in Yoga.


If StyleDiary ain't your thing, my guess is ComicVine could be right up your alley. The site is from the same CNET veterans that created the car social network, Boompa, which we profiled back in June. ComicVine has a very similar interface as the very well designed Boompa.
ComicVine is user generated, wiki-like content. Every superhero has his or her own page, with basic bio information as well as a list of "powers," such as intellect, super strength, and stamina. Here's Spiderman, for example. Superheroes can also be tagged by users, and a discussion forum is avalable as well. The community, though still small, seems to be very active.
Users can create their own superhero as well. This guy, for example, has called himself "Spader-Man," described as "After being tapped lightly on the head by a radioactive shovel during a school field-trip to the local flea market, Pietro Parkour found himself with incredible, non-trademark-able powers." Users can also create their own blog within the site.
The best part about the site is the absolute rankings of one superhero v. another. Currently Superman is the top ranked hero, followed by The Hulk and then Spiderman. The rankings are user generated via a "HotOrNot" type system where two superheroes are put on screen, and the user votes to say who wins in a battle (see screen shot below).
There are more features as well. The video below goes into more detail.

IMB Search: Should a Pastor Be President?
November 12, 2010 by Dave Miller
It has been quite some time since Jerry Rankin announced his retirement and the search committee for the IMB was formed. I have no idea who the next president will be. I have no idea who the president should be. But there have been rumors floating around that one or more prominent SBC megachurch pastors is going to be recommended by the IMB search committee. I heard this first from a prominent pastor in a southern state. Then, I saw the name on another blog.
I do not plan to name that name. I'm not trying to delve into rumor-mongering. In fact, no discussion of the particular pastor or his qualifications will be permitted. I'd like to engage in a more general discussion: Does leading a mega-church qualify someone to lead the IMB?
I say no.
A Missionary Needs to Lead IMB
The IMB president needs to be someone from a missions background – someone who knows firsthand what it is like to work internationally, who has missiological experience and knowledge. I have talked to several missionaries and the ones I've talked to want someone in the big chair who understands what a missionary does. They want a missionary to lead them.
The world is changing so fast and mission strategies are in such a state of evolution, that direct, hands-on experience in missiology is essential.
Would we hire a non-SBC leader to lead one of our entities? Even if he was highly qualified in every way? No, of course not. We want our leaders to understand SBC life. We know that someone who leads in the SBC needs to have experience in the SBC. Why would we hire someone with no background in missiology to lead a missions organization? I think our missionaries would be about as enthused about a non-missionary leading them as we would be about a non-SBC leader of an agency. They want someone who understands what mission work is all about.
Being a Mega-church Pastor Is Not Enough
Granted, some of the mega-churches out there are bigger than the IMB, but it is two different skill sets to lead the two organizations. Mega-church. IMB. Not the same.
What about overseeing a church in a large Southern City qualifies someone to understand the workings of missions in Islamic states, or in Asia, or in South America? Wouldn't someone with cross-cultural experience and a history of world missions experience be better?
My Hope and Prayer
The person whose name has been bandied about – I like him. I respect him. A lot. If they are going to recomend a mega-church pastor, he might be the one.
I just don't think being a mega-church pastor qualifies someone to lead the largest Christian missionary organization in world history.
Here's one voice hoping they recommend a missionary to lead our missionaries.
About Dave Miller
Dave Miller is the senior pastor of Southern Hills Baptist Church in Sioux City, Iowa, and editor of SBC Voices. He served as President of the 2017 SBC Pastors' Conference. He is a graduate of Palm Beach Atlantic and SWBTS. He has pastored churches in Florida, Virginia, and Iowa. Twitter
If you have heard the rumors, please do not repeat them here. No naming names. This is not a discussion of one man, but is a discussion of the question: A Pastor or a Missionary?
Bill Pfister
I served with the IMB before coming back to the pastorate. My one voice is that it should be a missionary.
Maybe you could apply for the job, Bill!
Really, I wonder if there are any mega-church pastors who also have missions backgrounds?
There's no question that the administrative/visioning demands of a mega-church are needed at the IMB. But I think MORE is needed than just that.
Dave, gonna have to disagree with you on this one.
I think that the mega-church thought on administration and vision casting are not suitable for the International Mission Board. With the mega-church thought, everything comes back to one entity in that you can have a one size, fits all mentality. With the International Mission Board, what works in Brazil may not work in Turkey, France, or North Africa, so you have to have people who can be flexible and roll with the punches rather than try to break the waves.
I personally believe that we hamper ourselves, not going to go all out gloom and doom, but we definitely hamper ourselves when we pass over the people that have been in the fields and have stared at this face to face for years.
I would want a successful missionary, not a successful administrator, leading our missionary teams. The successful administrator can be his CFO or COO to use corporate terms. In fact, let the megapastor fund raise here in the states while the missionary tends to the missionaries.
The IMB pres better be able to oversee a large institution. That is part of the job. But he also needs to have an understanding of worldwide missions.
Bob Cleveland
You are absolutely correct. Megachurch pastors may have "management skills" which could be valuable for an entity head, but it's unthinkable that there aren't any missionaries out there with similar skills, and the experience to truly comprehend what rubber-meeting-the-road missions is REALLY like.
Todd Benkert
I don't think you can make a determination that a particular position makes one qualified or not. The search committee has likely determined specific qualities they are looking for in their next President and are seeking the person who possesses those qualities. Whether or not that person ends up being a missionary or a pastor is irrelevant in my opinion.
The president need not be a missionary, but he should have a firm grasp of missiology. He need not be a pastor, but he should have a firm grasp of theology and champion the local church. He need not be a CEO, but he should show himself capable of running an organization the size and scope of the IMB. Finding a man with all these qualities is a tall order — perhaps why the trustees are taking their time to find the right man.
You make a good argument, Todd. But I think you need a missions background to lead a missions organization.
Pastoral work is not missions work?
Look at the illustration below about coaching. I may be the best basketball coach in the world. That does not mean that I can coach a football team. Some of the skills may translate, but many would not, they are two different games.
Many principles are eternal and are no different in Alabama or Algeria.
But I think there are skills that are needed for cross-cultural international missions that an American pastor may not get.
Are there not some subtleties of mission work that one does not pick up just reading about missions, listening to missionaries or going on mission trips?
The role IMB president is not merely management, it is much broader. If you are going to use a sports analogy, you should compare him to the Owner/CEO. The CEO sets the agenda, works with personnel, promotes the organization to the public, and leads the organization to do whatever it takes to win.
Future Hall of Famer George Steinbrenner never played the game of baseball, but as I recall, you called his Yankees "the greatest sports franchise ever." 🙂
Different mindset.
Missionaries focus a lot of their time in reaching the lost while trying to guide and mentor new believers. Sure, they do all the same pastoral duties, but since there are female missionaries, we can't call it pastoral duties without having to answer some really hard questions.
Pastoring involves a lot of tending to the flock in that a pastor has to make time for his congregants while carrying out the great commission. They usually have to be available at all times and their families usually have to refrain from putting his picture on milk cartons at times.
Megapastoring involves writing books and making DVD series for their congregants to purchase so they can have something on their coffee table while assistants fresh out of seminary visit the hospitals and do research for upcoming sermons.
Greg Alford
Before I venture to give an opinion on who should be considered for the next President of the IMB I have a question.
Can someone tell me what the relationship is between the Southern Baptist Convention and the Churches we start through the IMB? I know that the NAMB plants "Southern Baptist" Churches… but what relationship do the churches planted by the IMB have to the SBC?
The reason I ask, is that I find that these churches have no (visible) relationship with, or participation in, the SBC… Why is this? And it just might be that a pastor from an "International Church" just might, MIGHT, (did I say might?) be more qualified to head the IMB.
Greg, I misplaced a comment down there. Our missionaries plant churches that are affiliated with their own national conventions. In other words, a Honduran church planted by Southern Baptist missionaries is a Honduran Baptist church, not an SBC church.
Since there is autonomy in Baptist organizations, the SBC exerts no influence or control over the churches or conventions overseas.
Gene Scarborough
Do you not recognize how easy it is for a foreign church congregation to have their funds provided by the IMB over trying to build a building, etc. with local funds and people with little or no job skills?
I think dependency leads to conformity by many missionary-established foreign churches.
On the other hand, there is new thinking starting with the CEO 3 terms back (Kieth Parks) that a truely strong church has to be composed of local indigenous people able to fund their own gospel-sharing enterprise.
Foreign Missionaries work hard to establish missions. Baptists are often viewed as a "sect religion" in foreign countries. This precludes many established and socially prominent locals from joining them.
Only a person having been a Foreign Missionary would understand this. Certainly NOT a Mega Church pastor who basks in religious acceptance and mostly entertaining his congregation.
I wholeheartedly agree with you that the next IMB president ought to be a person with missionary experience. We served with the IMB for almost 16 years and the process of going through missionary orientation, learning a new language, adapting to a new culture, and learning to relate well to the nationals in the country are all invaluable experiences that a non-missionary hasn't acquired. Even those who have gone on multiple short-term missions trips still don't fully comprehend the missionary lifestyle. They rarely get beyond the "honeymoon stage" on those trips–much less having to cope with and overcome culture shock. In short, I fully agree with you.
Frank and Larry
Absolutely the person running the IMB should be a missionary. It is impossible to have a firm grasp of missiology or the challenge missionaries face having never been a missionary.
It's sort of like hiring a professional basketball coach who never picked up a basketball. Theoretically, it could work, but not practically.
I think that is an excellent illustration. I coached basketball and soccer and had some level of understanding of those games. But I never played football, and while I've watched it, I do not have an understanding of the ins and outs of football.
Lets say I was a really great basketball coach. Better than Bobby Knight and Phil Jackson combined.
That does not qualify me to coach the Indianapolis Colts. Some of the skills might be the same, but the knowledge base is so different.
Mega-church is one thing. IMB is a completely different game.
Really well put, F&L.
Gary, there are practical matters that one cannot simply "pick up" from studying missions. For example: few people know what it is like to experience a "trauma" such as a serious health problem while a missionary.
A "non-missionary" president just would not be able to relate to these types of practical matters in a way that would be effective and compassionate.
The churches started by IMB missionaries overseas normally do not have any direct ties with the SBC. They more typically relate to a national Baptist convention in their own country which makes much more sense considering linguistic, geographical, and other cultural affinities that they share.
Most missionaries I have talked to are careful to say that overseas churches are NOT Southern Baptist. The missionaries are SBC and they relate to those churches, but the churches themselves are affiliated with their own national conventions.
And there is no affiliation between those National Baptist Conventions and the SBC??? WHY NOT??? If the NAMB plants churches in Montana and they form a Montana Baptist Convention that then affiliates withe the SBC… Should we not also have just as close of a relationship with the Baptist Associations of other Nations where we are spending our missions dollars to plant churches? Should not these churches and associations be a part of the SBC family?
Perhaps this is not the place to have this discussion, but we are talking about the IMB and these are questions I have been wanting to ask for some time now.
I believe there are affiliations/friendships. The SBC/IMB has absolutely no control over them.
Its kinda like the Alabama Baptist Convention and the Florida Baptist Convention. Do they have a relationship? Perhaps. But neither has control over the other.
The same is true on an international level. The SBC and the Baptist Convention of Japan may have a relationship, but it is a relationship between equals and neither has authority over the other.
Joe Blackmon
I will be you a Hardee's 2/3lb thick burger that the next head of the IMB will be someone who was on the GCR task force, a mega-church pastor (or former one), and will never have served as a career missionary in foreign missions. In fact, make that bet a burger and a chocolate shake.
I don't take sucker bets.
By the way, you and I are agreeing too much here lately.
I may have to take a contrary position just so we can continue sparring.
No one so far in this string has described the duties of the IMB president. For example, I cannot believe for one minute that he would be more than prayerfully concerned about an individual missionaries health crisis on the field. That's the responsibility of someone much further down the corporate ladder. that being said, what is the job of the IMB president? I think it's to rally the troops — period. He's going to have to have the charisma to inspire people to give more to missions. Anything else, lesser vice presidents can handle.
SSBN
Sheila you obviously have a "corporate" view of the IMB, not a ministry view. While, "underlings" might handle the specifics of an incident (and this was just one example), the President has to give direction.
Actually, nearly everything while working in a foreign country has major complications. Stress is multiplied many times in nearly every event in the more "foreign" international situations. I simply cannot see a President making policy or influencing policy about matters he has no real knowledge of. I certainly wouldn't have as much confidence in him.
We're talking political correctness here. The nationals in Uruguay or Slovakia or wherever know full well they are connected to the Southern Baptist Convention. But we in the U.S. want to assure them that they are in charge of their own affairs. That's why we say they're not connected. But they know if they weren't connected that the green carpet would be pulled from under them.
It is important to remember that we have no authority over the Slovakian or Uruguayan conventions. Relationship? Yes. But each is autonomous.
I'm not talking about the SBC having authority over any of these churches… I'm talking about cooperating… why aren't these churches cooperating churches?
I think there is friendship and cooperation between church and conventions – for the most part.
The issue is that churches in other countries are not "Southern Baptist Churches". They are affiliated with their own national conventions.
There are a couple of interesting things here to comment on.
First, The committee had an obvious choice of the next President from within the M field and they could not come to agreement on him. This was surprising to many of us. The committee is now split on this very issue and many of us don't believe that it can come to a consensus. I don't think we will have a new president until we get a new committee.
As to the duties of the next president he will be guided by the times that he faces. It was Jerry Rankin's job for most of his tenure to protect overseas work from the Trustees who wanted to derail it. He gets mixed reviews on his success in that regard. Praise God we do not face that situation now. The next president will have to fix the reorganization mess and reach out to an increasingly distracted constituency. This is why a pastor is being considered. It is hoped that a pastor could speak to pastors and be heard better. Good luck with that. I would rather have an M who is a real vision caster who could bring M's and pastors on board to what God is doing around the world.
As to the relationship between the overseas churches and the SBC it should be noted that an SB Church is by definition an American church. The Baptist World Alliance was supposed to be the body by which we all related but some of our 'leadership' in the SBC can not be happy with an organization that they themselves can not control so we bailed out. It is still there if you guys want to relate to the greater family of baptists. But remember, if you are family you don't get to pick who your brother is and Lord knows you can't tell him anything.
For the most part in current missions practice we start churches that are accountable to Jesus and are as independent of us and foreign influence as possible. There are many good reasons for this but this comment is too long already.
Not to split hairs here…but…
Dave, do you mean FOREIGN missionary??
Because one could argue that every pastor (heck, every believer) is a missionary into the culture God has placed them.
So, you mean they should have experience vocationally as a foreign missionary to be the next IMB Pres. Correct?
Yes, of course, Jason. I meant international missionary – someone who came up through the ranks of the IMB. A "company" guy.
Anyone who has worked for the Mission Board quickly recognizes the military nature of the assignment. It is far more controlled than anything we see in US SBC churches.
Each area has a "Mission" established where new missionaries are assigned. That local "Mission" is headed by senior missionaries with a "Mission President."
New Missionaries are assigned the "grunt" dirty work and might eventually rise in the ranks with experience and time spent on the field. Most new missionaries who return from the field in frustration can't cope with the power and control exercised by those "Senior Missionaries" who run the local operation.
Gene, you describing missions stations 30 plus years ago. While anecdotaly you can find M's having this kind of power experience for the most part this is no longer the case. It was largely what New Directions was all about.
I recognize the dated nature of my description.
Please give us a full view of "how things are now."
I would hope it gives details of how the BF&M 2000 is now used as a required signed statement to any new missionaries. How are the older ones coping with such a document and their "old style" missionary ministry????
I am sorry Gene, are you actually admitting a deficiency in knowledge and asking an honest question about how things are now? No Gene, that is not the way we do things in the blogging world. We have a meta narrative that we have decided upon and then find facts to fit our narrative. If other facts surface to refute our narrative we insult the messenger and change the facts.
But seriously, if you are in fact seeking information then you should know that most everyone in leadership that I know really believes in the upside down pyramid model. My boss really believes that I, as a front line CPer, am to set the strategy and it is his job to support me with all the resources and encouragement he can bring to bear. Of course, I live in the Affinity Group with the hands down best leadership out here so I am biased.
For the record, all M candidates are screened quite thoroughly before coming on the field. We expect anyone out here has been well vetted and we trust each other completely. We don't have witch hunts or doctrinal quizzes. The BFM 2000 exists in America, I have not seen a copy here in Middle Earth.
I am genuinely seeking information on current affairs at the IMB.
The policy of screening has been in place from day 1!
Prior to that, the supporting church / churches did not support anyone they didn't trust. The old way of individual church support favored the dramatic fund-raiser and penalized the average missionary who might actually have been doing better ministry on the field!
I'm not familiar with the Affinity Group and would like to know more on that. Are there different groups in the IMB organization?
If I understand you, the BF&M 2000 has not appeared on the actual mission field, but is used in the vetting process.
Well then, since I can't reply to your reply below let add one more thing here. Affinity Group is what we used to call 'regions'. All of our names and acronyms have changed in this latest reorg. Yeah I know, many of us had not caught up with the last batch! But since you are genuinely seeking info here is the deal with the BFM 2000: All new M's have to sign it. We all signed the old one when I came out and then, as you know, we were made to sign the new one. Honestly, when Jerry asked us to sign it I read the e-mail he sent as saying, 'I am fighting a battle on your behalf so please sign this and get me the ammo I need.' That is how I read it. I am a baptist so the old 'No creed but the Bible' thing is something I really believe in. We signed it and moved on with our work and have not thought about it again. I was surprised to hear later how many guys made a stance. For me the work of the Kingdom is more important than whatever political things are happening on a Trustee board. If we get into some kind of missiological or theological substance then I am ready to get involved but I have not seen that happen yet.
I admire your integrity to the Gospel and missions over pleasing whatever bunch of egos is running the show for their own purposes.
Thanks for clarifying!!!
In this day of "special words" and acronyms, who knows what it all really means. The simple thing should be "winning the lost to Christ!" We somehow seem to couch it in "religious-speak" to prove the administrators have earned their higher salary for "leading!"
Do you have any observations about how what we are doing now compares to what we intended to do with "Bold Mission Thrust"–i.e., to share the Gospel via SBC TelNet satellite with the world of the 70's new technology???
I fell in love with Southern Baptist when they inaugurated Bold Mission Thrust. I think it was a great step of faith in the right direction. Having said that it was naive. We believed that if we achieved those goals we would reach the world and complete the Great Commission. Not even close! But we accomplished every goal except for 5000 M's on the field by year 2000. I think we reached that by 2005 or so. Now we are having to cut back to 5000 M's! But that step of faith opened our eyes to see what is out here and what it might take to actually obey Jesus command to take the Gospel to the Nations. We got innovative and we started cooperating with others to get the Gospel to the unreached. From where I sit this is where we are now. The IMB has changed alot over the years to focus more and more on the unreached and I think that is exactly what we should be doing. I hope that answers your question, at least as much as it can be answered on a short blog comment.
Oh, I didn't say anything about Telnet and the tech side of things. We abandoned mass media to the charismatics some time ago. We cooperate with media folks to create videos and we have pioneered storying in many ways but the Satellite channels belong to the health/wealth guys and I am sorry for that. Our teams put out some great media. I myself have dubbed several films into our local language and we even have them on the state local TV station weekly! But that is as much as I can say.
Gene – please fight the CR battle on the CR playground.
Don't you understand, many of us want to have conversations about things that do not root in your hatred of conservatives and the CR. So, take that discussion over there. I don't bother on that one, but it you bring that discussion to this board, you will find your comments disappearing.
Address the topic, but keep the CR stuff on the CR thread – that's all I'm asking.
Gene, you perhaps don't realize how obsessed you are. In your comment complaining about me deleting your comments about the CR you claimed that you weren't addressing the CR – then you took a shot at the CR.
You can't help yourself, I guess. But I can help you. If you address the CR outside the CR playground, unless it is directly related to the topic, your comment will disappear. I'm doing the best I can to help you!
Thanks, Dave—I did just that this morning and have several others you moderated to add–if we see a return to the CR Playground you wisely established.
Do you think now that it could go to 2,000????
What's the prize for comment 2,000?
I think the distinction has to be made between pastors (and even everybody other than missionaries), and missionaries. I haven't been called to leave my home country and go start new churches in some foreign country.
The pastor in our church is there not as a missionary, but as a preacher/teacher, to minister to the people and build up the body. The foreign missionary isn't called to a foreign "body" to do that.
Our church has started another church itself, locally, with only minor support from those outside our church. We know how to do that, but that's worlds removed from what the IMB does.
I'm not a missionary, but the next head of IMB certainly should be.
Ron Hale
I agree that a Missionary is needed — that seems sound and makes sense.
However, not much is making sense in the SBC in choosing leaders. You ask a great question: Would we call a non-SBC leader to lead a Southern Baptist entity?
I asked … would NAMB call a pastor who led his church to NOT give a penny to the Annie Armstrong offering in 2008 and a small amount in 2009 according to their size and budget. Yet, he was called with no challenge by the Board; at least none that I have seen or read about. Does that make sense? Not in the least! Then a few weeks after his call, I read where he hopes to see the Annie Armstrong Offering increased and doubled.
We need leaders who have led by example and proved themselves as courageous leaders, while also being committed to the goals of this Convention. I'm tired of seeing Presidents and leaders elected that have "high profile" but "low giving" to SBC causes.
In a way it is "poetic justice:" Now Dr. Ezell has to enlist pastors and churches just like his to give!!!!
I have advocated that, instead of reducing the Administrative Staff to coincide with short-giving, he might consider an "across the board" reduction in income starting with himself as an example.
Many suffering businesses in this economy are doing just that = everyone keeps their job, but has to live with the reduced income of all in a recessed / depressed economy. It sure beats being on the streets seeking employment. It also beats the strain on an already-reduced income by having to provide "golden parachutes" to the executives released—and, now, providing zero production to the renewed success of the company.
Firing / "generous retirement provision" is nothing more than putting more money out for nothing!!!
Is it possible, just slightly, that the next Presidents of all SBC Institutions (or current ones, I guess, now that Dr. Page and Dr. Ezell are in place and all seminaries have presidents) should be charged with developing a structure that prepares the future leaders within the organization?
I know you often need new blood, but how do you prepare for leading a group like the IMB without gaining experience in leading 5000 international missionaries in a wide variety of cultures? Pastoring a large church may be similar, but there's a lot of difference. Likewise, even taking a long-tenured missionary off the field and putting them in Richmond might not be adequate, given the difference in administrative roles.
Same thing within NAMB or even running a seminary. Not saying designate a 'president-in-waiting' but perhaps a leadership development structure that would have multiple possibilities to draw from?
And personally, I think someone with long-standing experience with IMB would be preferable, who has seen what has and has not worked with the organizational changes in recent years and so has a grasp on what needs to happen going forward to build on where the IMB is.
And someone that will return the logo to all capital letters. I can't cope with the lower-case imb logo. Bugs me.
First, we have to figure out what is "proper leadership."
With all the egos fighting for recognition, is it even possible one might lead without the "Dr." before their name???
I have often found more genius and skill in a person with dirt under his fingernails than with a suit-and-tied (now few leaders want the strangulation tie and prefer the open shirt) dandy who has kissed his way to the top.
Less ego / more humility—less pontification / more listening—willingness to live in the same world as the workers / a sterling sense of integrity = better leaders in the future to me.
Anyone else notice the prominence of Johnny Hunt in the Lottie Moon promotional videos (which are very good this year). Is it a coincidence that he is so prominently featured while rumors fly that a prominent pastor will be the next IMB president? Hmmmm….
F. Tabor
And wouldn't that be a good thing???
No, I do not believe it would be. Johnny Hunt is a good man and a great pastor. I have respect for him. I thought the GCR work he did was good.
But I have 2 problems with him being nominated for the IMB presidency.
First, he has never been a missionary. I've walked through a hospital, but it doesn't make me a doctor. I've driven through the country, but it doesn't make me a farmer. Johnny has been on mission trips, but that does not make him a missionary. He is not an expert in missiology.
I have talked to several missionaries. Every one I have talked to would be upset if someone who has no experience in missions is put in charge of the greatest missionary force in church history.
Johnny is a great man and a great pastor. None of that qualifies him as an IMB president.
Second, his position in the GCR makes it inadvisable. some of the GCR cynics have said that one of the purposes of the GCR was so that some of those who pushed the GCR could get cherry jobs in the SBC structure.
I do not believe that, but I have heard it stated often. If one of the leaders of the GCR movement takes the IMB position, it will be seen as another example of this (presumed) ulterior motive for the GCR.
The first reason for me is the biggest. A medical center needs to be run by effective administrators with a medical background and understanding. A school should be run by an educator. A farm should be farmed by someone with an understanding of agriculture.
And a missionary organization should be run by a missionary.
By the way, every missionary I have talked to about this names the same name as the person who should be the next IMB president. There is a candidate who evidently has wide support among mission personnel and is well-respected as a missiologist. No, I'm not naming the name.
sbc in pioneer state
Dr. Hunt was the SBC president and thus the roal in the LMC videos along with his white hot passion to reach the nations.
Great man, great leader and greatly used of our Lord for sure!
meant to say "role"…. where is splle chcek when you need it?
I hat it when spele chek dosen't wurk.
Seriously, I agree with everything you say about Dr. Hunt. I respect him greatly. I just don' think that he should be the next IMB president.
I had heard those rumors floated, then I suddenly noticed him prominently in the IMB videos. It seemed a little coincidental.
I will say it one more time. I respect Johnny Hunt a lot! I just think a missionary needs to be IMB president.
Did Ezell have any credentials as a Home Missionary???
Yes, he did. He had lots of experience in North American Missions. He was not a NAMB employee, but he organized ministries and planted churches in the USA. So, he has a general experiential understanding of what it takes for North American Missions.
I'm not crazy about the level of support he gave for Annie and the CP, but he has a vast reservoir of experience of ministry in North America.
I think Kevin Ezell is exactly the kind of man NAMB needed. I only had two quarrels with him. First, I wondered how a man whose CP and Annie record was somewhat tepid could lead NAMB. Second, his early days gave me a troubling idea that he was likely not to listen to questions, but to attack those who asked them.
But I think that Ezell was exactly the kind of man NAMB should have looked for – a successful pastor/ministry planter in NA. NA Pastor/NA missions.
Again, I love Johnny Hunt. No problem with him in particular. My problem is that he is a Georgia pastor with NO international missions expertise that I am aware of.
NA missions needs NA ministry experience.
International missions needs international ministry experience.
"yes, he did. He had lots of experience in North American Missions. He was not a NAMB employee, but he organized ministries and planted churches in the USA"
Are you sure? Most of them are satellites of Highview. I can only think of one that was planted outside of that authority structure and in fact, it might not be outside that structure. Perhaps there are more I do not know about.
That is not true, Lydia. In the Louisville area, he planted satellites that remained part of the Highview structure. But they also had a church planting program that started churches in non-SBC dominant states.
They actually had a pretty impressive church planting strategy.
Has the initial resistance died down?
I was not impressed by the descriptions of how the Trustees opposing him gave him the cold shoulder upon his election by the majority of the Board members.
Gene, you are mashing together two stories. It would be well if you sorted them out.
The stories you are referring to were about the EC trustees and how they treated Frank Page when he was elected this summer. I have no knowledge if they are true or not. But you are confusing the elections of Frank Page and Kevin Ezell.
One of the press at Frank Page's election shared stories of trustees giving him the cold shoulder. I have no specific knowledge of the truth of those stories, other than having read the account.
I believe you are right about there being some dissent on both stories. The one that I had in mind was Frank Page. It seemed to deal with other candidate(s) not getting the pass and a strong reaction to it which caused a "cold shoulder" reception in the SBC meeting as he was introduced to the EC members privately along with his wife.
Norman Jameson, our BR Editor, was the primary reporter on the matter and got not one word of anyone observing anything else to negate his observation.
I was't there and it doesn't seem you were either for that particular segment of the SBC. I would hope things are better now for Frank Page. Just asking with no ax to grind.
As a currrent IMBer, I can honestly say the following without a shred of malice:
1. An IMB prez without vocational international missions experience would be bone-crushingly disappointing. I and some of my peers already sense a widening gap between field-based personnel and Richmond staff. This would worsen things. I would imagine that we'd lose more people over that. On a side note, the IMB routinely hands out books to its people; something selected to help us in our work. Last year it was the popular "Preach and Heal" book. This year, it was a book on giving up everything linked to the American dream in order to be obedient to God; some megapastor wrote it, I think. Don't quote me on that as I could be wrong. At any rate, another IMBer pal of mine said, "Haven't most of us already done that? Why did Richmond send us this? Are they preparing us for more pay cuts? Or is the author of the book someone who will soon become special to us?" All valid questions.
2. Local churches around the world started by IMB missionaries are (or should be) baptist in thought and theology. However, only in the most well-developed national conventions is there an awareness of the SBC. More often than not that you'll find an awareness of the IMB instead of the SBC. In my area, using the local translation for Southern Baptist Convention is confusing. My people are far, far south in terms of latitude and think of the US as being in the north.
3. I know of no IMBers out there who are not aware of the risks and patterns of dependency. Most of them work very, very hard to ensure that churches they plant are independent of SBC funds and able to stand on their own. Our team does this, even knowing that many of our short term problems could be solved with a little spending. We tolerate frustrations, failures, and more in the short term (a year or three) in hopes of a church stronger in the long term.
Good discussion, folks.
Thank you for these comments Eddie. I hope that the IMB will select a missionary with the proper skills. It would be a shame for them to sacrifice the IMB work on the megachurch altar.


Lucky prize winner Samantha Bark has won free travel for a year with East Midlands Trains.
Samantha, from Grantham in Lincolnshire, won first prize in a competition launched by the train operator giving its season ticket holders the opportunity to win back the cost of their annual ticket.
Around 1000 passengers entered the competition, which ran throughout December and January. In addition to Samantha Bark winning back the cost of her annual season ticket between Grantham and Nottingham, five runners up were each awarded a family ticket for travel anywhere on the East Midlands Trains route.
East Midlands Trains presented Samantha Bark with a special cheque for the full cost of her season ticket at Nottingham station. She commented: "It's brilliant, I've never won anything before so I can't believe I've actually won. The extra money will be a massive help, thank you East Midlands Trains.
Neil Micklethwaite, Customer Service & Commercial Director for East Midlands Trains, said: "We believe this is the first time a train company has given its season ticket holders the chance to win back the cost of their travel, so it's been an exciting initiative for us and one that we will be looking to continue.
"We've already invested millions of pounds to improve our trains and stations and this all helps to ensure we provide our season ticket holders with value for money.


Started cold and damp, ended really cold and really damp. Eight out so 2 fours, best pair take all. Martin (nearly headless pegleg) and Arthur led the way with 37, from Mike and Trev. Happy 50th birthday Gary F, thanks for the brain number aka Teachers.


I bought the Ironworks AIW7242X | 72"H x 42"W x 27"D | 54 Long Gun safe months ago and I love it! It gives me the protection, storage and quality I wanted. Great safe!

Atof, atoi, atol, and atoll convert a string pointed to by nptr to floating, integer, long integer, and long long integer (vlong) representation respectively. The first unrecognized character ends the string. Leading C escapes are understood, as in strtol with base zero (described below).
Atof recognizes an optional string of tabs and spaces, then an optional sign, then a string of digits optionally containing a decimal point, then an optional e or E followed by an optionally signed integer.
Atoi and atol recognize an optional string of tabs and spaces, then an optional sign, then a string of decimal digits.
Strtod, strtol, strtoll, strtoul, and strtoull behave similarly to atof and atol and, if rptr is not zero, set *rptr to point to the input character immediately after the string converted.
Strtol, strtoll, strtoul, and strtoull interpret the digit string in the specified base, from 2 to 36, each digit being less than the base. Digits with value over 9 are represented by letters, a-z or A-Z. If base is 0, the input is interpreted as an integral constant in the style of C (with no suffixed type indicators): numbers are octal if they begin with 0, hexadecimal if they begin with 0x or 0X, otherwise decimal.
Charstod interprets floating point numbers in the manner of atof, but gets successive characters by calling (*f)(a). The last call to f terminates the scan, so it must have returned a character that is not a legal continuation of a number. Therefore, it may be necessary to back up the input stream one character after calling charstod.
Zero is returned if the beginning of the input string is not interpretable as a number; even in this case, rptr will be updated.


There are any number of memorials of one sort and another concerned with the Jacobite Risings that occurred between 1689 and 1746. We are hoping to produce a definitive list of all (or most) of them but thought we would begin with a few of those that have had 1745 Association sponsorship.
The first is that at Loch nan Uamh where Prince Charles Edward Stuart departed for France after his wanderings in the Highland and Islands following the Defeat of the Jacobite forces at the Battle of Culloden on 16 April 1746. The cairn was erected by the 1745 Association in 1956. You can read more about it here. Loch nan Uamh is also the place where the Prince first set foot on mainland Great Britain on 25 July 1745.
Highbridge is close to Spean Bridge and was the main crossing point over the River Spean from 1736 until Thomas Telford built a new bridge over the river at the pace that is now Spean Bridge in 1819. Highbridge was allowed to fall into disrepair and eventually collapse.
The cairn was erected in 1994.
There is a letter on the Letters page remarking that the path from the cairn to the bridge is in a poor state of repair and not suitable for anyone who is neither as fit nor perhaps as young as they used to be. I also point out that even at the best of times the path is steep in places, the boardwalk does not extend all the way down and is quite likely to be slippery. The bridge itself is in a very dangerous state and no one should attempt to access it.
Near this spot on August 16 1745, the first action of the "Forty-Five" took place. Donald MacDonell of Tirnadris, with eleven men and a piper from Keppoch's clan, by making use of the now demolished High Bridge Inn and surrounding trees to conceal the smallness of their number, succeeding in preventing two companies of the 1st Royal Regiment of Foot (later the Royal Scots) from crossing the High Bridge over the River Spean. This force consisting of about eighty-five men had been sent from Fort Augustus to reinforce the garrison at Fort William.
Born at the Knock of Kincardine John Roy Stewart was son of the last Stewart Baron of Kincardine. He rose to be a well known officer before leaving the service of George II to join the Jacobites. Stewart raised the Edinburgh Regiment of approximately 200 men and fought at Culloden under the Green Flag of Kincardine. Escaping from Culloden Field on April 16, 1745 he returned to Strathspey, remaining a fugitive in the area before joining the Bonnie Prince at Ben Alder and from there to Loch Nan Uamh on the West Coast and flight to France.
Faisg air seo rugadh is thogadh Iain Ruadh Stiùbhart, fear de gaisgich is na bàird as inmeile a dh'èirich an adhbhar a' Phrionnsa. Thog Rèisimeid Dhùn Eideann anns an robh deagh-chuid à Srath Spè agus choisinn e cliù airson a ghaisge aig Sliabh a' Chlamhain, An Eaglais Bhreac agus Cùil Lodair. "Cuimhnich na daoine bho'n tàinig thu"
Born and raised near here was the celebrated Gaelic poet John Roy Stuart, one of the most heroic figures of the '45 Rising. A devoted Jacobite, John Roy raised the Edinburgh Regiment which also included men from Strathspey. He won great acclaim for his bravery at Prestonpans, Falkirk and Culloden. "Remember the people from whence you came."
JOHN ROY as he was commonly called, was one of the men who came to the front in the rising of the "Forty-five." Scott, in "Tales of a Grandfather," calls him "a most excellent partisan officer." Chambers, in his "History of the Rebellion," says "he was the beau-ideal of a clever Highland officer." His courage and resource, his devotion and trustworthiness, his gift of song, and the culture and military skill which he had acquired from service at home and in France, made him a great favourite with Prince Charlie.---- Both were fighting in the same cause, and animated by the same hope. When the Prince came to his kingdom, then John Roy and others would get their rights. The "auld Stewarts back," Scotland would be Scotland again. In "The Lyon in Mourning" a touching account is given of one of the last meetings of the Prince and John Roy. The Prince, after his many wanderings, had reached Badenoch, and was in hiding in "The Cage." He sent for John Roy, and, when he heard that he was at hand, "he wrapped himself up in a plaid, and lay down, in order to surprise John Roy the more when he should enter the hut. In the door there was a pool, or puddle, and when John Roy was entering the Prince peeped out of the plaid, which so surprised John Roy that he cried out, 'Oh, Lord! my master,' and fell down in a faint." This simple incident brings out vividly the relation in which they stood to each other, the kindly humour and cheerfulness of the Prince after all his trials, and the unfailing love and loyalty of his follower.
John Roy was the son of Donald, grandson of John, the last of the Barons of Kincardine. His father was twice married. His second wife was Barbara Shaw, daughter of John Shaw of Guislich, a descendant of the Shaws of Rothiemurchus. It is said she was fifty-three years old when she married, and John was her only child. ---- John Roy was born at Knock, Kincardine, in 1700. He received a good education, and his position in society and residence in France and Portugal gave him a higher culture than was common in his native strath. ----- John Roy, having cast in his lot with the Jacobites, took an active part in the fighting in Flanders. He was in the battle of Fontenoy, 11th May, 1745. ---- It was on the 19th August, 1745, that the "Bratach Bàn," "the White Banner," was unfurled at Glenfinnan. The news of the rising soon reached France, and many a brave soldier, whose heart was in the Highlands, came hurrying home to take part in the struggle. Among these was John Roy. He joined Prince Charlie at Blair in Athole, and brought with him letters with offers of service from several men of note, but they proved of little value. As is common in times of excitement, the promise was better than the performance. At Edinburgh, where John Roy had been formerly stationed with the Scots Greys, he had no difficulty in raising a regiment. It was called "the Edinburgh Regiment," and though mainly made up of recruits from the mixed crowd that thronged the grey Metropolis of the North, it contained not a few men from Perthshire and Speyside, who added much to its strength and mettle. John Roy did good service at Prestonpans. ----- The next notice we have of him is at Falkirk. Some of his old Dragoons were there under Colonel Whitney. Whitney recognised his friend, and cried out "Ha are you there? We shall soon be up with you." Stewart shouted in reply, "You shall be welcome. You shall have a warm reception." The words were hardly spoken when the gallant Colonel was struck by a chance shot, and fell dead from the saddle. The battle of Falkirk was indecisive. Both sides claimed the victory.
"Says brave Lochiel, 'Pray have we won?
I know not how or why, man.'"
In the retreat northwards, John Roy was of great service, not only from his skill and resource, but from his intimate knowledge of the country. His Regiment is noticed in almost every Order, as specially singled out for patrol and scouting. ---- John Roy commanded the Edinburgh Regiment at Culloden, which formed part of the first line that bore the brunt of the battle. It was said of him afterwards by one of Cumberland's captains that "if all the Highlanders had fought as well as the officer with the red head and the little hand, the issue might have been different." He himself poured forth his grief in a "Lament for the Brave who had fallen on Drummossie Muir," in which he attributes the defeat to the absence of the Macphersons and many of the best men, and the fierce blinding storm that blew in the faces of the Prince's soldiers. He also not obscurely hints at treachery. His faith in Lord George Murray had been shaken, and he knew that others of the Highland Chiefs shared this feeling. Long afterwards his son, referring to a reverse in America, expressed the old sentiment, "From April battles and Murray generals good Lord deliver us." John Roy seems to have gone at first to Gorthleg. He also attended the gathering at Ruthven Castle.
John Roy will not be found."
He joined Prince Charles, as already mentioned, at Ben Alder, and from there the party, on the 14th September, moved to Corvoy, then to Aitnacarrie, Glencanger, and Borrodale. On the 20th September they embarked on board a frigate that had been waiting for them, and sailed for France. John Roy never returned. The Rev. John Grant, in the old Statistical Account of Abernethy (1792) says that he died in 1752, and adds in his shrewd, pithy way—"By this means his talents were lost to himself and to his country. He had education without being educated; his address and his figure showed his talents to great advantage. He was a good poet, in Gaelic and in English."
John Roy Stewart (Ian Ruadh Stiubhart) (c.1700–1747), Jacobite soldier and poet, was born at Knock, Kincardine, Inverness-shire, the son of Donald Stewart and his second wife, Barbara Shaw, who was reputedly fifty-two at the time of his birth. He belonged to the Stewarts of Kincardine, Inverness-shire, who had sold their property to the Duke of Gordon in 1683. He was probably the John Stewart commissioned as a lieutenant of an additional company to be added to the Inniskilling dragoons on 25 December 1726, serving as adjutant in 1727. He was certainly recruiting in Inverness in 1727, but was probably placed on half pay in 1729. In the absence of employment he then probably left Britain to serve in the French army and he was present at the siege of Philipsburg from where on 12 June 1734 he reported the death of James Fitzjames, Duke of Berwick.
By 1736 Stewart was engaged in Jacobite intrigues, being arrested and incarcerated in Inverness prison, but he escaped with the connivance of Simon Fraser, twelfth Lord Lovat, who sent him with a message to the court of King James III & VIII in Rome. From 1739 he seems to have spent most of his time at Boulogne in France. With the outbreak of war he was again employed in the French army and fought at Fontenoy on 30 April 1745. In August he received leave from the French army and having travelled through Ghent he arrived in the highlands, joining the Jacobite army at Blair Atholl on 30–31 August 1745. His first task was to raise a regiment in the north, but after the battle of Prestonpans on 21 September 1745 he was ordered to raise a regiment in Edinburgh. Initially he seems to have attracted some of General Cope's defeated army, but soon they all left him. Stewart was opposed to the decision to invade England, later referring to it as `the first great error committed' (Tayler, 253); he preferred to take Edinburgh and Stirling, `proclaim the King, call a parliament and take full possession of Scotland' (ibid.). Nevertheless, he led the regiment in its march into England and it covered the retreat from Derby and Manchester. While the regiment guarded the baggage at Stirling, Stewart fought at the battle of Falkirk on 17 January 1746. The regiment commanded by Stewart probably fought in the front line at Culloden and after the defeat it managed to rendezvous with the remnants of the Jacobite army at Ruthven.
Stewart may have been wounded at Culloden, but he attended a meeting at Muir Laggan on Loch Arkaig, Inverness-shire, to consider how to proceed. He may have been sent by Prince Charles to France with news of the defeat, but if so he returned to Scotland and was eventually one of those who sailed from Loch nan Uamh on Skye with the prince back to France. He described his adventures following Culloden in a poem, John Roy's Psalm, one of many Gaelic songs and laments.
In 1747 Stewart was at both Nieuport and Boulogne; he died that year, probably at the end of June. He left a widow, Sarah Hall, and a daughter in dire poverty. King James VIII wrote on 7 November 1747 of his concern for them. He may also have left a son, Charles, who served in the French army. His wife and daughter subsequently received a pension which was continued for thirty years. Such was Stewart's reputation that the British authorities were receiving reports of his supposed activities in Scotland well into December 1747. He should not be confused with Prince Charles Edward's valet, who remained with the prince in exile and who received a Jacobite baronetcy in 1784.
The fourth cairn sponsored by the 1745 Association is the one marking the site of the Battle of Sheriffmuir. This cairn was erected in 2002.
On this moor on 13 November 1715, a Jacobite army composed largely of Highlanders under the command of the Earl of Mar met a Hanoverian army consisting mainly of regular British soldiers under the Duke of Argyll, at what has become known as the Battle of Sheriffmuir. The result was indecisive but Mar's failure to take advantage of Argyll's weakened position in the closing stages of the conflict and subsequent withdrawal from the field contributed to the failure of the Rising — known as "The Fifteen" in favour of the restoration of the exiled King James VIII (the "Old Chevalier ).
Clan MacRae participated in the Battle of Sheriffmuir in 1715. William MacKenzie, 5th Earl of Seaforth bravely led the MacKenzies and the MacRaes in support of King James VIII, and great loss of life and property ensued. He survived the battles and the destruction of Eilean Donan Castle, and died on the Island of Lewis in 1740.

You will find this fascinating little chapel in Savoy St just off The Strand. Turn right out of the Savoy Hotel and take the first street on the right. You cannot miss the chapel. It is part of the Duchy of Lancaster and so owned by HM Queen Elizabeth II.
Dr Archie was brother to Donald Cameron of Locheil. without whose support the Rising of 1745 would have had a very poor start. After the defeat at Culloden the Prince, Dr Archie and others took refuge in "Cluny's Cage," that remote hideaway in the depths of Ben Alder, before final escape to France.
On 22 June 1745 Prince Charles Edward Stuart, -- boarded Le du Teillay anchored off St Nazaire in the mouth of the Loire. The owner of the ship was Antoine Walsh, a Franco-Irish merchant, adventurer and slave trader. The party sailed to Belle Isle and awaited the appearance of L'Elisabeth. On 4 July Old Style (15 July New Style) L'Elisabeth arrived and the next day the ships set sail, bound for Scotland.
The French ships were spotted and HMS Lyon brought L'Elisabeth to battle stations in the late afternoon of 9 July. The Lyon had fifty-eight guns and L'Elisabeth sixty-four. A ferocious exchange of fire ensued and the two ships fought until nightfall with heavy losses on both sides. At least forty-five men died on the Lyon and fifty-seven, possibly including the Captain, on L'Elisabeth. Many more were seriously injured. L'Elisabeth was so badly damaged she had to limp back to Brest taking most of the Prince's ability to fight with her. Le du Teillay continued on her way with Prince Charles and a tiny band of revolutionaries some of whom are known as 'The Seven Men of Moidart'. These seven are mentioned in every history of the period although a number of them had little bearing on the campaign. Perhaps they have retained their position in the histories because at this point in the rising there are few others to write about.
The seven included William, Duke of Atholl who was fifty-six years old and in poor health. He had supported the Jacobites in both the '15 and the '19 and was deprived of his estates at Blair Atholl, in favour of his younger brother James, for his trouble. The only other of Scottish birth was Aeneas MacDonald, a banker and brother of Donald MacDonald of Kinlochmoidart who was among the first to join the Prince. Sir Thomas Sheridan, the Prince's Irish tutor who was over seventy years of age was in the group as was Colonel Francis Strickland, the only Englishman. Strickland's father had supported James II (and VII) and followed him into exile in France where Francis was born. Parson George Kelly and Sir John MacDonald, a cavalry officer in the French forces, are included in the seven. MacDonald was appointed 'Instructor of Cavalry' in the Jacobite forces. There was never much cavalry to instruct and Sir John's post seems to have been somewhat nominal. He kept a journal throughout the campaign and so it is fortunate for historians that he was there. The main man turned out to be Irishman John William O'Sullivan, whose opinions the Prince came to greatly and, some would say, foolishly value. O'Sullivan was born in County Kerry in about 1700. His parents sent him to Paris and Rome with a view to him entering the priesthood. After spending some time as a tutor in a French military household he abandoned his intended life in the church and took up soldiering. Quite when O'Sullivan met Prince Charles is not clear but they became friends. The Irishman was to play a prominent part in the Forty-Five.
The cairn is on the roadside on the A861 a mile or two west of Kinlochmoidart, and overlooking the original trees which were planted in the 1800's to represent the Seven Men. A few years ago others were put in to replace those that had died, but beech was used instead of oak, and I think that only two or three of the new trees have taken.
The Highland heroine Flora MacDonald (1722-1790) lived in this cottage in the period 1751-1759. Famous for her part in the escape of Prince Charles Edward Stuart after the Battle of Culloden in 1746, she later married Allan MacDonald of Kingsburgh in 1750 and five of their seven children were born here.
Erected by the 1745 Association.
Here is a full list of the cairns and plaques erected and maintained by The 1745 Association, in some cases in collaboration with others.
