Why inner city churches must push marriage to stop fatherless kids
McManus reports on the Urban Summit where Don Eberly and Charles Ballard urge inner city African American churches to promote marriage and chastity to reduce illegitimacy and divorce. They cite 25 million affected children, high divorce rates, and programs that reconnect fathers with families. Ballard credits community couples with turning hearts toward their children.

West Texas church adopts labyrinth as meditation guide
Christ United Methodist Church in Levelland has embraced a concrete labyrinth garden as a tool for meditation and contemplation. Pastor Liz Sisco and member George W. Payne Jr describe it as a Christian practice enriching faith, while critics call it New Age. The garden, opened to the public, includes a mystic spiral rather than a maze and connects to biblical metaphors of journey and following the Lord. The church held youth trips to Grace Cathedral in San Francisco to view the labyrinth.
