Now is the time to examine what this church, and all other congregations of all faiths, can contribute, rather than just heed the call of an angry mob that sees an asset going unused.

By Peter Montgomery

…ce to the poor. The opposite is true. In America, the liberty of religious communities has always been a seedbed of social action and ministry to those in need. The divide between Catholic and other faith communities has often run deep. Only real and present danger could draw them together. The cooperation of Catholics and evangelicals was quite rare when I was a young priest. Their current mutual aid, the ecumenism that seems to so worry La Civil…
