...deacon of Miami's First Presbyterian Church, Lee stoutly insists that there is no better rehabilitation than a stiff dose of churchgoing. To enforce his sentence, he requires each offender to write a weekly letter describing what he learned from the Sunday sermon. The effect of the preaching is sometimes questionable. One 15-year-old girl wrote what Chronicles 1:29 meant to her: "We are time watchers and punch clocks." Another boy complained: "This lesson I didn't understand at all.

As O'Boyle began to speak, about 400 worshipers, roughly one-third of the congregation, rose and walked out of the church. Despite this stunning rebuke...
...Events at the School this week have led the faculty to the conviction that the time for this is now," Stendahl said during his first address as the Dean of the Divinity School. Stendahl continued throughout the sermon to refer only indirectly to the incident involving Paul Olimpieri, a Marine who took sanctuary in the Divinity School Chapel last Sunday...
