Virginia Senate Defeats Preamble Change Amid Mason Link
Debate over rewriting the Bill of Rights preamble to call Virginia “one of the United State of America” failed 25 to 11 in the Senate. Proponents led by Sen. Hunter B. Andrews argued for modernization despite objections from Sen. George M. Warren. An opposing amendment from Sen. Peter K. Babal, aimed at limiting jury trials, drew support from Sen. Leroy Bendheim, who said current text creates a duty conflict for the commonwealth's attorney.

Transformation of the risen Christ in scripture and belief
The article surveys how the resurrected Jesus appeared only to devoted followers not the public, often in unfamiliar forms and through intimate moments. It notes Mary Magdalene, Emmaus travellers, the Sea of Galilee, and post resurrection appearances as non sensational, yet transformative, blending spirit and body beyond ordinary life. It discusses multiple appearances, ranges of time, and a shift beyond the apostles to Paul, emphasizing a low key, nonmiraculous witness.
