Jersey City nun helps gang youths change course
Sister Antonelle Chunka left her parochial post to guide youths from gangs like the Zodiacs and The Insane Ones toward work and mentorship. Her program, The Promise, has placed 35 youths in jobs, trained others as volunteer probation officers, and fostered park cleanups while redevelopment nears. Police praise she has reduced street tension, and former gang members like Richie say they glimpse a new path.

Moderator seeks to heal Presbyterian rift and unite church
AP Religion Writer George W. Cornell reports on the new Presbyterian Church U S A moderator Rev J Randolph Taylor a Charlotte North Carolina envoy tasked with reconciling North and South Presbyterians. His cross emblem symbolizes unity as he travels to reassure congregations wary of reunion and guide the church through postwar reconciliation. En route he will visit north and northwest first then probe trouble spots in the deep south and southeast where congregations have fled or wavering. At least 11 congregations have withdrawn and about 30 more are uncertain awaiting results.
