church father

This is the common paraphrase of an argument by Tertullian, an early church father.

In an unusually empty Nativity Church, Father Eissa Thaldjiya tells me his city feels like a shadow of itself.

“I have to pay $4,600 a month just for the heating bill” in the church, Father Myron said.

With Hodges caught in the throes of a rare slump, a priest at Brooklyn’s St. Francis Roman Catholic Church, Father Herbert Redmond, told his congregation, “It’s far too hot for a homily. Keep the Commandments and say a prayer for Gil Hodges.”

“Hopefully this will wake up the church,” Father Reyes said.
