...Crimson pressure almost led to a goal after 15 minutes of the last half as Ellen Hart hit the inside of the right post with a right-footed shot. The ball rebounded out to the usually reliable Sue St. Louis, who proved that despite being a saint she is fallible, as she booted the ball over the crossbar from 15 feet in front of the goal...

Last week at a resort in Port Saint Lucie, Fla., 125 members of the church's House of Bishops met and struggled to prevent further damage...
