...often "What church do you attend?," Rider is in constant contact with Evangelicals and other Protestants who are still mystified by Catholics and frequently "call us onto the carpet to explain what we believe. It has helped take me back to the basics of my faith." Says the Rev. Jay Scott Newman, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic Church, less than two hours south in Greenville, S.C.: "Here you're not Catholic because your parents came from Italy or Slovakia. It's because you believe what the church teaches you is absolutely true...
...about P&G shareholders? While Wall Street has reacted coolly to some recent mergers (investors pummeled software firm Symantec after it announced a $13.5 billion bid for Veritas), the assessment on this one has been largely positive.

...Last week, under pressure from opposition lawmakers, Seoul asked Beijing to reopen Rev. Kim's case. Kim Mun Soo, a lawmaker from the opposition Grand National Party who visited Yanji earlier this month, says China has information about the pastor's disappearance that it hasn't shared with South Korea. Kim said Seoul should also get tough with Pyongyang, which still holds an estimated 468 kidnapped South Koreans. Says Kim: "It is the fundamental duty of a state to protect its citizens. South Korea has been terrible at this." Friends of Rev. Kim are losing hope that he is still...
