Syria was last on the Israli agenda. For the first three days of fighting Syrian artillery shelled border settlements in the Northern region of Israel around Tel Dan and Gonen while armor units made slight headway into Israeli territory. By the 7th, Israeli armor columns were transferred to the North and fought their way up the heavily fortified Syrian hills toward Mas'ada and Qunetra...
...build a Catholic chapel for a penniless order of German-speaking nuns. In this sequel, Homer works another miracle when, pressed into service as an evangelist at an old-fashioned hallelujah tent meeting, he inspires a crippled girl to walk. Although his tale is almost too short and slight to be put between hard covers, William Barrett (The Left Hand of God, Woman on Horseback) tells it with artful simplicity, and Homer retains the dimensions of a genuine folk hero...

Heidelberg is German Reformed (1563) and Barmen is German (1934), but one of Luther's catechisms would have been helpful. A second is that no witnesses are included from the continents of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Perhaps a supplemental book with representative liturgies, statements, or documents from non-confessional churches could be put together...
