[Untitled]
An Angolan Group from the United Methodist Church Center in Luanda, called Gilead is mainly focused on evangelism and spreading the word of God through singing and social work. It´s President Ms. Salybetsy Nshaiwat is developing a program where all the international group with the same target can meet in Angola and share all the perspectives and challenges of a christian group, in our days.
It´s Vice president Mr. Teixeira Capitao, is also cooperating with other international singers in order to start a christian singers type of tour involving african countries as well. This because most popular christian singers don´t come to africa, as an example of Natalie Grant or Michael West, great singers indeed!
Hebrew Bible section
Where in Numbers 20 does it say anything about Gilead, Half Gilead, or Ogg & Sihon? A number of these references/citations seem doubtful. James2c19v (talk) 23:02, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed this ref. Og is mentioned at the end of Num 21, but the link to his page covers that. This paragraph ends with ref to Deut 3 which supports the content. John M Brear (talk) 00:26, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Cultural references section
I made several small revisions to the section on cultural references to Gilead: Margaret Atwood's novel was mentioned twice, the Inheritance Cycle was described as a single novel rather than as a series of novels, etc. Since Gilead, Maine, is a real place, I deleted the description of it as "fictional," even though the real town of Gilead is not exactly like the Gilead depicted in The Spitfire Grill.
More tidying remains to be made in this section--some of these, such as the Paolini reference, probably aren't actual allusions to the Biblical location and so they don't really belong on this page--only on the Gilead disambiguation page. But this is all I have time for so far. 65.213.77.129 (talk) 18:44, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"One character sings the spiritual, substituting "balm" with "bomb.""
Does the word "balm" in this spiritual have a distinct pronunciation, because Merriam-Webster (www.m-w.com) confirms that "balm" is sometimes pronounced the same as "bomb" in American English anyway, making the substitution potentially impossible to detect? 86.186.40.189 (talk) 15:50, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Scope of article
This article is about biblical locations and people. Something else in a cultural work that has the same name is not relevant here, but is appropriate for disambiguation. 73.71.251.64 (talk) 16:11, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing about Republic of Gilead, Handmaid's Tale !?
