In the wake of the controversy over the ban on communion rails by the Bishop of Charlotte, in contrast to their recovery by the Bishop of Portland, an interesting reflection opens up. In many churches, the communion rail has disappeared quietly and almost without explanation, as if it were a dispensable relic from another time.

A Veteran trying to feed the homeless Vet's But the hoa wanted to fine him and took him to court. The Judge has the final say. Should the HOA Let the Homeless Stay Hungry? Watching these videos breaks my heart to how cruel and heartless people can be. Another video of an elderly woman who lost her husband and what the hoa did. There are some worse than these two video's I am leaving. She Lost Her Husband, Now The City Wants Her House
