A woman in Montreal has been fined for religious worship. Two years ago, Paula Celani and about 80 lay catholic friends gathered at a public hall they rented from the city. They watched a video, prayed and had a potluck. Then she was hit with a 144-dollar ticket from the city for being involved in religious worship. Her lawyer is fighting the fine on constitutional grounds. John Zucchi, a McGill University professor worries about trends in that province. He asked the question: If a minister, rabbi or priest comes in to say grace, are they going to be stopped or fined? The opposition Parti Québécois has even proposed legislation that would prohibit members of the civil service from wearing obvious religious symbols.

Pastor Hess Hester of Southern Hills Baptist Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma says he is shocked at the lack of pastoral response to the apparent tragic suicide of church Pastor Kim Hall from Texas. Dr. Hall served at Hunters Glen Baptist Church for 20 years. Hester, who leads a Christ-centered recovery group exclusively for pastors and their spouses, said …there is a need to address the problem that some pastors have….. in sharing personal issues. Hester says that many pastors go through silent pain. Celebrate Recovery was founded in 1991 by Pastor John Baker of Saddleback Church in Calif., with the approval of lead pastor Rick Warren. The program has been adopted by churches, prisons and ministries worldwide.

Recently in a game between the Detroit Lions and the Denver Broncos, Tebow dropped on one knee to pray. The mocking started: two members of the opposing team were imitating, accompanied by cruel comments about Tebow’s performance.
