“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has issued what appears to be a solid stay for Troy Davis. . . . NCADP offers a heartfelt thank you and congratulations to everyone who has been working on this case. It’s certainly not over, but clearly there is now some breathing room. Please keep the family of officer MacPhail as well as Troy Davis and his family and legal team in your thoughts and prayers.

Loving the Church often seems close to impossible. Still, we must keep reminding ourselves that all people in the Church – whether powerful or powerless, conservative or progressive, tolerant or fanatic – belong to that long line of witnesses moving through this valley of tears, singing songs of praise and thanksgiving, listening to the voice of their Lord, and eating together from the bread that keeps multiplying as it is shared. When we remember that, we may be able to say, “I love the Church, and I am glad to belong to it.”
Loving the Church is our sacred duty. Without a true love for the Church, we cannot live in it in joy and peace. And without a true love for the Church, we cannot call people to it.
