So many good stories here. Thank you for the positive side of living faith.  I am especially glad to hear of 
the welcoming of LGBT Catholics in Newark.   

The "Missionary Discipleship"  occurring in West Baltimore sounds especially valuable.  I think it would be to me to attend several "stop-and-go" Masses, to re-open my mind to hearing why we do what we do in Mass; I think I know so much, but also think I am stuck in some ways, replaying old routines.

Wonderful story of the evolution of a particular parish in Buffalo and the ways it has become a faith  home to people of different cultures.  Sounds like good, innovative leadership there.
