He reports an incident in which he was encouraging multi-faith use of a hospital prayer room, but was confronted by an angry parishioner who was unhappy about the example being given to Christian youth.

His bottom line: “I am convinced that our best response to the sword is to be people of peace.”

Amen to that!

Dave
