Andy first held her when she was only eight hours old. As awareness of her surroundings began to dawn upon this little one, Andy became aware of a need. In the yellow pages he sought the nearest black Baptist church. And the next Sunday he was there with his little one in his arms. But with his daughter, he and his wife have found a worshipping community among their black friends.
Love does things like that.
I am not, of course, urging anyone to change their church to find a different liturgical experience. The richness of the Catholic Church is that it is truly catholic. There are those who find the apt expression of their dedication to the Lord in fulfilling every jot and title of the law, from the divine and natural law down to the directives of the local liturgical office and interpretations of these found in books, newspapers and magazines. At the other end of the spectrum there are those who believe that men and women are not made for the law but the law for men and women, even the divine law of Sabboth. They see law as guidelines that orient us in our doing.
