[Magdalen] when a TEC church closes... was -->Re: Pray for GTS today

[James Oppenheimer]

I was very moved by the sense of that blog. This person's thoughts usually
are noteworthy, but in this case, they were especially so.  She has a way
of observing something, doing it well, without going as we say in the
psychiatric biz, "over the top."  Wonderful.
