The Wasatch Presbyterian Church has ordered 50 copies of the Koran to be distributed at a local bookstore starting on Monday.

"We're not promoting Islam, we're not saying the Koran is the Bible," said Scott Dalgarno, the church's pastor.

NICE!

The Saint Laika online Christian community is the sole (soul) ministry of the Reverend Jonathan Hagger and his only source of income. It is always a struggle paying for the upkeep of the Saint Laika website and Facebook page as well as having to find the money for living expenses. Jonathan relies on the donations of the friends of Saint Laika's who donate generously (some of them every month) to keep him afloat. At the moment (December 2015) he makes do on about £500 a month. He would love to double this so that he does not have to worry about unexpected bills and the like. Please consider supporting Jonathan's ministry either by making a one off donation when you can afford to or committing to a monthly subscription of your own choosing. You can also help by buying your Amazon products through the widgets below this post. It costs you no extra and Jonathan gets a reasonable commission on the value of your purchases. Thank you.
