he escalating Middle East violence and the continued bombing of Lebanon and Gaza is
threatening regional stability. Though appeals have gone out from the religious community for
the United States and other world leaders to intervene diplomatically, as of Wednesday when
the TUCC bulletin is published, the U.S. refuses to call for a cease-fire. Instead, the U.S. is increasing
arms shipments to Israel and Congress has passed resolutions declaring unconditional support for Israel’s
devastating military campaigns.
Hezbollah’s opportunistic raid that captured Israeli soldiers and rocket attacks on Israel have been nearly
universally condemned. However, the excessive force with which Israel is responding goes far beyond
defense against Hezbollah and promises to destroy most of what has been rebuilt in Lebanon since its
civil war 15 years ago. The disproportionate attack on Lebanon may backfire, strengthening Hezbollah,
increasing sectarian strife, and weakening Lebanon’s democracy and security.
As Israeli troops drive further into southern Lebanon and the bombings continue, the U.S. State
Department needs to shift direction radically and President Bush should call for an immediate cease-fire to
stop the growing loss of civilian lives in Lebanon. In 14 days thus far, over 400 Lebanese and 54 Israelis
have been killed. The critical humanitarian needs worsen every day.
It is urgent that Trinity members, visitors and videostream “members” contact their members of
Congress and President Bush and ask them to work proactively, especially with the Israeli government,
to restrain the use of military force and to reach a negotiated cease-fire in Lebanon and Gaza. Weakening
Lebanon and threatening regional stability are against U.S. interests. Only U.S. cooperation in renewing
comprehensive negotiations will bring a fair peace and lasting security to Israel and the region.

Can we live peacefully and lovingly beside people who do not believe as we believe?

Muslims, the Shiites and the Sunnis, the Muslims and the Christians, and I talked about Africa and

T
he Reverend William “Bill” Lee, Senior Minister to Youth at Ebenezer
A.M.E. Church in Fort Washington, Maryland, develops, organizes and
implements a range of systematic programs that impact over 3,000 youth
of the church. He is known throughout the nation for creativity in preaching,
teaching and worship. He has instituted dynamic initiatives that embrace the
unique styles, interests and talents of the “hip-hop generation.” His impact and
presence are felt in schools throughout the area as a regular workshop leader,
commencement speaker and advocate.
Rev. William Lee has garnered involvement from BET and area radio hosts to
foster informative and groundbreaking discussions and programs in the church
and in schools including the Got Gifts Tour and Teens Allowed to Talk, which
provide opportunities for youth to express their talents and opinions in positive
environments. Through these and other programs, Rev. Lee has orchestrated
partnerships with area principals to provide adult support and resources needed to
address the concerns within area schools.
Rev. Lee’s preaching and teaching gifts span all generations. He travels
throughout the nation and internationally to lead and speak at revivals,
conferences and worship services. Rev. Bill Lee can be found leading adults and
youth alike in innovative styles of worship that encourage congregants to “Rock
for Jesus.”
One of his most memorable accomplishments is the negotiation of a gang
truce among rival crews in Prince George’s County, Maryland, which has gained
attention from the Washington Post, Gospel Today, CNN, and the Associated Press.
Since the truce, he has worked with crew members to provide life skills training
and employment opportunity.
Rev. Lee has earned a master of divinity degree from the Howard University
School of Divinity, Washington, DC. While at Howard, he was blessed to serve
as a graduate assistant at the prestigious Rankin Chapel and currently works with
the Chapel on a monthly student-led worship service known as “Wednesday Night
Live.” He has also begun teaching through the Continuing Education program at
the Howard University School of Divinity.
Foremost, Rev. Lee is a servant of the Lord. He has a heart for God’s people and
desires for everyone to embrace their God-given gifts and talents, regardless of age.
Rev. William Lee is married to the love of his life, Quandra.
