USA: DIOCESE OF CONNECTICUT OFFERS WOODEN CROSSES

(ENS) As part of a "pure evangelistic undertaking", the Diocese of 
Connecticut is distributing small wooden crosses made by Christian 
Palestinians from olive wood. According to Alinda Stanley, chair of the 
diocese's evangelism committee, "the crosses have filled a great need
here in Connecticut, to provide a simple, powerful tool for
Episcopalians to witness to the power of Christ's love for the world."
The wooden crosses are available at cost ($30), and the diocese's
evangelism committee has volunteered to count, package and mail the
crosses, which are shipped to Connecticut from Israel in bulk lots.
