Arrival in New Hampshire
Ping!
Her undaunted faith, faith in the face of torture and death, is the stuff of "Lives of the Saints," courageous and inspiring. I hope a whole international Communion of Saints grows up around this extraordinary family.

THank you!
A nicer than average looking church, but who decided to cover the floor with a putting green?

We are all presuming she is Catholic. However, according to Wikipedia, she was raised in her mother’s faith, as Ethiopian Orthodox.
Not a lot of those churches around. Catholic is similar. Maybe her husband was Catholic when they married. God bless them, however and with whomever they worship Christ. She is a modern heroine of the Church Universal.
Her husband has muscular dystrophy.
I understand that the Copts, the Orthodox and the Catholics in Sudan are exceedingly close in faith and practice.
And it's just delightful that the Sudanese Covenant Evangelicals have embrace her as one of their own as well. This is the way it should be.
Sudan to New Hampshire?
BRRRR!
Ping to #12
Thank you for the detailed clarification. This couple has endured much more in their short lives than most of us do in a longer lifetime. God bless them and their family. Meriam is a beautiful woman. That radiant smile is a reflection of God’s love. How many, faced with execution, would hold fast to their faith. It’s a question worthy of reflection by each one of us.
Ah, well, that explains it. Sneaky Latins....:)
Amen!
