Father opposes death penalty in wake of Oklahoma City bombing
Bud Welch, father of Julie Marie Welch, who opposed the death penalty after her murder, urges readers to spoil children and honor a child’s legacy. He will join an interfaith service in Syracuse opposing execution, while Pope John Paul II canonizes Edith Stein, prompting Jewish leaders to reflect on anti semitism and assimilation. The report also notes a WAER radio segment on women in religion featuring Donna Woolfolk Cross and Pope Joan.
