Deep breath. <\/p>\n

Kyle passes on video of a painful Gospel procession.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Episcopal Church USA has sort of correct the NYTimes re\/the Schori interview. Well, not exactly corrected. <\/a><\/p>\n

From the UKGuardian: the "Train to America" – an account of Central Americans fighting their way to the US,<\/a><\/p>\n

A Distant Thunder<\/em> on YouTube – some of you might recall that this short film is a highly-praised and well-done treatment of the abortion issue.<\/a> A trailer and short clip are available at the link.<\/p>\n

Dawn Eden’s new book The Thrill of the Chaste<\/em> is coming out next week (although it’s apparently already shipping on Amazon) and Paul Catalanotto’s review – he has links to other related websites as well.<\/a><\/p>\n

Thomas Craughwell, author of Saints Behaving Badly, <\/em>has a business: Antique Holy Cards<\/a>, in which quality reproductions of really <\/em>quality…er…antique holy cards…are used in Christmas cards and note cards, with more to come. The cards Tom has selected for use are the best. An example:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let’s Say Thanks: <\/a>my friend Kathryn sent this to me – an initiative from IBM in which you can select a card (e-card, I think) to be sent to a soldier serving overseas.<\/p>\n

The Catholicism comes from her side. Amy grew up in a number of places - Indiana - Washington, DC - Lubbock Texas - Arlington, Virginia - DeKalb, Illinois - Lawrence, Kansas - and Knoxville, Tennessee, where the family settled in 1973. She attended Knoxville Catholic High School, then the University of Tennessee where she majored in history. She received an MA in Church History from Vanderbilt University, where she wrote a thesis on the changing role of women in 19th century American Protestantism, and the ways Scripture was used to justify those changes. She worked as as a teacher in Catholic high schools and a Parish Director of Religious Education and started writing for the diocesan press - the Florida Catholic - in 1988. Amy has written columns for Our Sunday Visitor and Catholic News Service at times over the past twenty years. Her articles have been published in venues ranging from Our Sunday Visitor to the New York Times to Commonweal. She has written 17 books. 18, if you included the as yet tragically unpublished novel. Amy has five children, ranging in age from 26 to 4 and was married to Michael Dubruiel, who died unexpectedly in February 2009. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/author\/awelborn"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4363"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4363\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
