Cost of caring theme haunts religion workers
AP Religion Writer George W. Cornell notes threats and violence against religious workers who aid others. Incidents from Los Gatos to Hickory and beyond illustrate the dangers of mercy as a ministry. Priests, seminarians, and lay volunteers face fatal attacks while pursuing charitable outreach. The Rev. James Rowles calls this the high cost of caring but urges continued prison ministry and service.
