    While I have seldom agreed with her in the past, in this case I, and I think everyone else, will join with the PB, in prayers and aid for the people of Haiti.
    For those who would prefer a “non-TEC” channel for donations, Anglican Relief and Development is also rushing aid to Haiti:

    re No.2, does anyone have any information on what event feeds the Rev. Robertson’s speculations about causation? I wonder if they read the Book of Job at Regent U.

    #6: Other blogs I read have suggested that he’s referring to a Vodou ceremony performed at Bois Caïman which kicked off the Haitan revolution.
