Lawrence delegation received warm welcome to Algeria as part of World Cup friendship

The last World Cup match in Kansas City was held nearly four months ago, but the positive feelings remain. Organizers have shared some bullish numbers about the impact locally, including 680,000 visitors to Kansas City and direct spending of $570 million during the World Cup. The goodwill created has certainly continued as England made a great impact on the citizens of Prairie Village, where the “Three Lions” had their base camp during the World Cup. And the friendship between Algeria and the city of Lawrence, which hosted the “Desert Foxes” during the tournament, has endured. The Algerian government invited a delegation from Lawrence to visit their country, and that contingent received a warm welcome Monday when they arrived. Among the members in the group are Lawrence Mayor Brad Finkeldei, police officers Dave Ernst and Meghan Bardwell, members of the University of Kansas community, including several members of the band, faculty and staff, and others. Members from Elkader, Iowa, which boasts being the only town in the United States to have a sister city in Algeria, also made the trip. Media members in Algeria shared photos and video of the Lawrence delegation, getting to Algiers, the capital. Elizabeth Aubin, a former

Rev. Hamilton is going to Washington. What will that mean for his church?

Rev. Hamilton is going to Washington. But how often will he come back? Kansans have reasons to wonder, having just booted Sen. Roger Marshall from office Tuesday, in part because of how absent he seemed from the state he represented. Few believed Marshall was rushing back on weekends to the one-bedroom hunting shack he kept in rural Stafford County. His million-dollar vacation home in Sarasota, Florida, seemed a more likely destination when he wasn’t in Washington. Even if Senator-elect Adam Hamilton, who defeated Marshall, wanted to spend his free time on a white-sand Florida beach, he has a practical reason to come home. He has a church to run — and not just any church, but the largest United Methodist congregation in the country, the Leawood-based Church of the Resurrection, with 25,000 members. And he intends to keep running it, at least part-time. Resurrection laid out Hamilton’s plans in a detailed announcement Wednesday. In the short term, Hamilton will attend Senate orientation in Washington, then take a previously planned two-week vacation with his wife, LaVon. He’ll return to the pulpit Nov. 29 and continue leading services through Christmas. “I can hardly wait to return to a regular preaching schedule for
