    If you attend a church regularly, you’ve probably noticed the phenomenon. A guest shows up for a worship service, but he or she never returns. It is, unfortunately, a common issue in many churches. I did a Twitter poll to ask these first-time guests why they chose not to return to a particular church. While some of the responses were anticipated, I admit being a bit surprised with some of them. Though my poll is not scientific, it is nevertheless fascinating. Here are the top ten responses in order of frequency. 1.Having a stand up and greet one another time...

    Archdiocese of Washington ^ | 4/30/2009 | Msgr Charles Pope
    The celebrant standing at the Chair greets the assembled people in one of the following ways: 1.  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.2.  The grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.3.  The Lord be with you. 4.  Peace be with you. (Only Bishops may use this greeting) In each case the people respond: “And also with you.”Here again, we hear it all so often we mis the point! But through his greeting the priest declares...

    CHICAGO, IL - Muslim leaders in Chicago are criticizing a greeting card sold in stores all over the country that portrays a child´s doll as a terrorist.

It´s a photoshopped version of a real doll, meant for children. The "Aamina, the Muslim Doll, in its original packaging, quotes religious greetings and sayings in Arabic, with messages like "Assalamu Alaikum,"

    SPARTANBURG, SC (Talon News) -- A startling new fundraising campaign from the pro-abortion group Planned Parenthood has spurred one pro-life leader to action. In an inauspicious "Season's Greetings" card from Planned Parenthood, the front of the card reads "Choice on Earth." But the Society for Truth and Justice leader Randall Terry says Planned Parenthood uses the word "choice" in place of "abortion." He expressed his anger that the leftist abortion group is using Christmas to continue spreading their message of "dead babies and wounded mothers." "Planned Parenthood has mocked the birth of Christ," Terry wrote in an e-mail to pro-life...

    President Bush's message for Eid al-Fitr, which marks this week's end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan: I send greetings to Muslims celebrating Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of Breaking the Fast. This festival marks the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan, the holiest period of the Islamic year. Eid al-Fitr is a time to give thanks to God for the blessings of renewed faith, to perform acts of charity, and to share traditional food and good wishes with family and friends. Islam is a religion that inspires its followers to lead lives based on justice, compassion and personal...
