HONG KONG (CNS) Bishop-designate Stephen Chow Sau-yan told Hong Kong media people must start with a sense of faith and not assume Beijing is the enemy, and he hoped for dialogue to develop a better understanding.
“It is not that I am afraid to talk about controversial or political issues. Rather, we believe prudence is a virtue,” he said.

When the Rev. Marlon Tilghman learned that any Maryland juvenile taken into custody can be questioned by police without a parent being informed or without an attorney present, his thoughts turned to his teenage granddaughter. God forbid if she got pulled over and got interrogated and she said something she wasn t supposed to say. I would be terrified, said Rev. Tilghman, pastor of the Ames United Methodist Church in Bel Air, Maryland.
Rev. Tilghman has been working for the last year with dozens of partners in faith communities that belong to the grassroots organization BRIDGE Maryland to change state law, which observers have said is one of the most regressive in the nation. They cite cases where a child has felt pressured to admit to something he or she did not do.
