   "On that memorial are the words by Ronald Reagan, 'Never shall we let this
   happen to a people again.' And yet, when fear grips a country, how quickly
   we forget." - The Rev. Bruce Fenner, a United Methodist prison chaplain.

Fear changed role of chaplain in prisons

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) - In prison, a place where real evil resides, the
   only glimpse of a loving and forgiving God may come from a chaplain. After
   the 9/11 terrorist attacks, fear made it harder than ever for people to
   remember that redemption is available to everyone, said two faith leaders -
   one Christian and one Muslim - who feel called by God to be that holy
   presence in prisons.

UMTV: Churches Rethink 9/11

   PARK RIDGE, Ill. (UMNS) - To mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11, three
   Chicago area United Methodist churches held an event to affect their

   Sept. 11 as a day of hope. Learn more at [19]www.rethinkchurch.org.

Can we still honor our 'same difference'?

   NEW YORK (UMNS) - In her "Bloombytes" blog, UMNS reporter Linda Bloom
   remembers a trip to the Islamic Center of Southern California a month after
   the 9/11 attacks and the efforts at interfaith understanding that took place
   in the years that followed.

One day left for immigration survey

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) - One more day remains to participate in the United
   Methodist News Service's survey on immigration. The survey runs through
   Sept. 16 and aims to gather United Methodists' thoughts on this
   sometimes-contentious issue. The survey takes about 10 to 12 minutes to
   complete. It includes an opportunity to comment on the issue.

Agency launches 'Day of Justice' campaign

   WASHINGTON (UMNS) - The United Methodist Board of Church and Society is part
   of a coalition launching a "Day of Justice" campaign this fall to raise
   awareness to the necessity to reform the U.S. criminal and juvenile justice
   systems. The initiative seeks to build support for reform through hosting
   visits from federal policymakers to local prisons, jails, youth detention
   centers, restorative justice ministries and various related programs. The
   United States incarcerates more than 2.3 million individuals, the highest
   rate in the world and a 500 percent increase over the past 30 years,
   according to the Sentencing Project.
