MARY
(the teenage virgin mother of Jesus and the Magnificat)
Fourth Presbyterian Church near Washington, D.C. was my home during the four years at Georgetown University, where every Sunday, a group of 20-30 of us from Georgetown would be picked up early in the morning for the 15-20 min drive to Bethesda, MD for Dr. Norris' sermons and for Chuck Jacob's Bible study, followed by group lunch and fellowship till late into the afternoon.
The Khmer church, New Life Fellowship, I attend now (near the Olympic Market), which I love, could not be more different than 4th Presbyterian -- young people with guestimated average age at 20-25, new believers and the energy and excitement of what that entails (overt joy, overt fervor, with rock-concert-style dancing and singing -- not unlike our experience of first love, which by its nature cannot yet be tempered by the steady, deep knowledge and comfort of a long-term relationship -- good and bad), versus a more settled joy of a more somber people, that of a traditional nuclear, wealthy family setting of a neighborhood near the US capital, where the Conservative political elites attend (then Vice-president Dan Quayle and my Georgetown professor/former UN ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick attended when I attended).

Who the fuck cares!
Care and do not care, do not have the same result.Everything make everything. Everything relate to each others. Therefore, for better living, human cannot concentrate to only one thing. If ALL Khmer cared to evrerything Youn Cannot Swallow Cambodia.Seng ThearY action in Ki-Media there is a cause behind it......
thanks Theary for your post. my favourite teacher is Ravi Zacharias, who, as you know has preached at rallies in Cambodia in 1974. In one of his sermon he recounts the sacrifice khmer believers made in those days. from a fellow khmer believer.
