“This Sunday is about showering love on the people that lost their church home,” says Pastor Caleb Collins of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Douglas.
DOUGLAS, Ariz. — Pastor Caleb Collins is slowly moving forward after Monday’s fire burnt most of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church.
“It does help since the two churches work together very closely it still gives the sense of home away from home,” Collins said. “In here this Sunday will be a sense of unity, community and also safety for our members.” Collins wants Sunday’s sermon for to be uplifting and positive to show there’s a new beginning on the horizon for St. Stephen's.
He noted that the congregation can have some sense of hope because the people are the church and just because the building was damaged, none of the church members were harmed.

Bolivia's Catholic Church acknowledges being 'deaf' to sex abuse victimsLeaders of the Roman Catholic Church in Bolivia are acknowledging that the institution has been deaf to the suffering of victims of sexual abuse at a time when the country has been rocked by a pedophilia scandal involving priests. In a statement, the Andean nation’s Catholic bishops said Wednesday that “as a church, we are facing a painful moment ... because we are certain that we have been directly or indirectly involved in the deep pain caused to innocent victims.” The statement comes amid the fallout from the case involving a late Spanish Jesuit priest, Alfonso Pedrajas. According to a private diary accessed bythe Spanish newspaper El País, Pedrajas allegedly abused dozens of minors in Catholic boarding schools in Bolivia in the 1970s and 1980s. He died of cancer in 2009.
