While Florida might be spared from a direct hit from Hurricane Dorian, the same might not be true for the Carolinas. The National Hurricane Center has issued hurricane warnings, which as of Tuesday evening, now extend to Surf City, N.C. A hurricane watch has been issued for the North Carolina coast north of Surf City. Meanwhile, the entire South Carolina coast is under a hurricane warning. Why?The forecast for Dorian calls for the eye to brush the Carolina coast. The official forecast has the center of Dorian near Charleston, S.C. by Thursday afternoon. The track could take Dorian inland, or out to sea. Regardless, the National Hurricane Center said that Dorian's expanse of damaging winds is growing in size, even as Dorian's top wind speeds have decreased. Hurricane-force winds now extend 60 miles from Dorian's center, and tropical storm-force winds extend 175 miles. Even if Dorian's center narrowly misses the coast, residents near the South and North Carolina coastlines could see hurricane-force winds on Thursday and Friday.As of 6 p.m. Thursday, Dorian's had top winds of 110 MPH - 1 MPH shy of major hurricane status. The National Hurricane Center is forecasting that Dorian will maintain category 2 status while increasing the size of its wind field. Although a direct hit us unlikely, much of the Virginia coast is under a tropical storm watch as Dorian's large expanse of winds could make for tropical storm conditions for Virginia Beach. 1472

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Peace Corps is telling its volunteers around the world that it is suspending all operations globally and evacuating all volunteers in light of the spread of the new coronavirus. In an open letter to volunteers posted Sunday on its website, the federal agency's director, Jody Olsen, says the decision follows recent evacuations in China and Mongolia due to the outbreak. Olsen says that with evacuations now underway at other posts and travel becoming more challenging by the day, the agency decided to expand the suspension and evacuations. The Peace Corps was established in 1961 during the Kennedy administration as a government-run volunteer program serving nations around the world.Read the full letter from Director Jody Olsen: 767

Voting is underway in nine states, as well as in the District of Columbia, Tuesday as a pandemic, protesting and even curfews engulf American society. Idaho, Indiana, Maryland, Montana, D.C., New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Rhode Island, and South Dakota head to polls today for primary elections. Why this primary mattersWhile President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, as the presumptive nominee, have both secured their party's nomination for president, states are also voting on nominees for congressional and state races. Idaho has already voted in the 2020 Idaho Democratic primary, which took place on March 10, 2020. But voters head to the polls Tuesday to vote in local and state elections.Most notably Rep.

United Methodist churches and clergy could face removal from the denomination if they do not affirm its stance against gay marriage and noncelibate LGBT clergy by 2021. The church reached the decision in a vote at a General Conference in St. Louis on Tuesday.Church leaders say the move will almost surely lead more liberal members to leave the mainline denomination.The vote for the "Traditional" plan came after the church voted to reject an earlier proposal, known as the "One Church" plan, which would have allowed local churches to perform same-sex weddings and hire openly LGBT clergy. That move was pitched by proponents as a way to keep the increasingly fractious denomination together amid widespread disagreements about scripture and the morality of same-sex relationships."Many of us have members who are saying they will leave," said the Rev. Tom Berlin of Virginia, a member of the church's legislative committee. "A virus of conflict will spread."Instead, United Methodists voted to push forward the "Traditional" plan, which passed with a vote of 438 to 384."Today, more than 800 worldwide General Conference delegates affirmed the Traditional Plan as The Way Forward for The United Methodist Church," Bishop Scott Jones said in a statement. "This decision resolves a long-standing debate about how we can best accomplish our mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.""Our views on same-sex marriage have not changed. We will continue to welcome lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and queer persons to our churches and affirm their sacred worth," the statement said.Rejection of the "One Church" plan, which had support among United Methodist bishops in the United States, drew criticism."The United Methodist Church's special General Conference failed Tuesday to love LGBTQIA people, recognize their gifts in the church, maintain our unity in the midst of diversity, and to live out our Gospel mandate to seek justice and pursue peace," General Secretary Susan Henry-Crowe of the General Board of Church and Society of The United Methodist Church said in a statement."We worship a fully-inclusive, justice-seeking God," the statement said.Several members from African nations had stood on Tuesday to support the "Traditional" plan, saying it accords with scripture's teachings on sexuality."Today the church in Africa is growing in leaps and bounds because we are committed to biblical Christianity," said the Rev. Jerry Kulah, who is from Liberia. "You cannot be performing Christianity differently in America and Africa and suggest that we are one church."Several young Americans, on the other plan, pleaded to have their voices heard.Shayla Jordan, a 21-year-old delegate from the church's Kansas-based Great Plains Conference, said 15,000 young United Methodists had signed a petition opposing the "Traditional" plan."We need a church that is still alive. This is our church, too, and I have thousands of people with me urging you to hear this call," Jordan said.Cara Nicklas, a delegate from Oklahoma, said that she's received numerous messages from people calling her support for the church's current stance on LGBT relationships "mean-spirited and unloving.""Surely you don't want to be united with me if I am as mean and unloving as you say," she said. "You will not stop trying to make me fit your idea of a loving person."The General Conference took an unusual turn later Tuesday afternoon when Carlene Fogle-Miller, a young delegate from Florida, proposed an investigation into "vote buying" at the conference. The proposal to send the matter to the church's ethics committee passed 417-388."If there is nothing to hide, there is no need to fear an ethics investigation," Fogle-Miller said on Twitter. "Period."The United Methodists' Book of Discipline states that all people are of "sacred worth" but denounces the "practice of homosexuality" as "incompatible with Christian teaching."Openly gay and lesbian clergy members can be removed from ministry, but church trials on the matter are rare.In 2016, dozens of United Methodist clergy members came out as lesbian, gay or bisexual defying their church's ban on "self-avowed practicing homosexuals" serving in ministry and essentially daring their supervisors to discipline them.In a public letter posted online, 111 pastors, deacons, elders and candidates for ministry said church rules require "that we not bring our full selves to ministry, that we hide from view our sexual orientations and gender identities."That campaign came after a similar letter issued by 15 Methodist ministers in New York, who also openly acknowledged that they are gay or lesbian.In some parts of the United States, openly gay clergy serve with few if any restrictions. Conservatives argue that such policies threaten to break up the church into small, self-governing branches.For more than a decade, liberal United Methodists have sought to push the church to adopt more lenient provisions, without success.After the earlier vote to reject the more liberal proposal, Reconciling Ministries, a pro-LGBT church group, tweeted, "God weeps. The Spirit rages. The children of God are undefeated." 5204
