Dr. Thomas Lane Butts: Looking for the Lost
The Rev. Dr. Thomas Lane Butts (UMC)
Dr. Thomas Lane Butts writes, "We have all been lost at some time in our lives. We have all been down and unable to get up by ourselves, and someone reached down and picked us up. It is a humbling experience when we remember the times someone snatched off the manhole cover and came in looking for us."

The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori (TEC)
Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori says, "God tells Abram to 'go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land I will show you' – God says, 'Leave home!'
