She was birdlike and petite, with a hawk nose and an attractive smile. She was routinely mocked in parliament by big angry men shouting "Go back to Moscow" or "Go back to Israel."

“Doubt” opens with the parish priest, Father Flynn (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) delivering a brief, eloquent homily about doubt.

(ABP) -- On Nov. 12, in a front-page story, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution broke the news that the Georgia Baptist Convention has approved a new policy giving GBC executives the freedom to refuse donations from churches it finds to be out of step with Southern Baptist beliefs.

But our always-on communications brought a steady stream of sobering news from emergency talks on Wall Street. |

Have you ever walked arm-in-arm with one of our denomination’s greatest orators? I have. It was with a friend of many years, Clinton Marsh, when South and North marched together again. |
