Sabbath Salutations! With the Day of Atonement here, I thought I would just briefly share an interesting article from the Los Angeles Times which reported on Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to Britain. The Pope is quoted as saying:
“I cannot but voice my concern at the increasing marginalization of religion, particularly of Christianity, that is taking place in some quarters, even in nations which place a great emphasis on tolerance.”

What kind of changes are now taking place in Germany and what will this portend for the future of Europe and the world?
