It may be true that the National Catholic Reporter would have to be invented if it did not exist, but please don't take that wild gamble.

We have a gem so let's not risk the consequences of placing this matchless resource under financial restrictions.

Journalistic enterprise, imagination and courage is in short supply, particularly with regard to reporting on religion.

So I hope you'll pitch in during this last stretch of the fund drive. It's a vote for a better future.

Her talk centered on small communities and their role in nurturing renewal and the new evangelization.
