"The Preachers chiefly shall take heed that they teach nothing in their preaching, which they would have the people religiously to observe and believe, but that which is agreeable to the Doctrine of the Old Testament and the New, and that which the Catholick Fathers and Ancient Bishops have gathered out of that Doctrine." A proposed canon of Elizabeth I, 1571

Persecution in NJ?

For those who may not have heard, there has recently been a possibly religiously-motivated masacre of an entire Coptic Christian family in New Jersey. It was reported on a cable news network last night that the family was bound and gagged before they were stabbed to death. Read the basic story here (though this story doesn't mention the manner of death). Let us remember to pray for all our brothers and sisters in Christ who are facing persecution, especially for the Coptic Church in Egypt. It has been the subject of substantial violence in recent months.
