The Second Amendment comes first.
The message ricocheted around Missouri like stray munitions from a shaky marksman: Pray all you want, but you re not taking away our guns, even for the length of a church service.
Churches, synagogues, temples and mosques have been placed on notice that they may no longer be a sanctuary from the gun lobby and its flock. The state House of Representatives has passed and sent to the Senate a bill that would remove houses of worship from the list of places where gun owners cannot pack heat.
For now, places of religious worship are regarded as off limits for concealed carry of firearms. They re on an exception list that includes police stations, sports arenas, prisons, courthouses and other government buildings, casinos, child-care facilities, amusement parks, airports, schools and colleges, and some bars.

Today’s offering in the calendar of Saints is one whose real name we really don’t actually know the Samaritan woman at the well that we encounter in our Gospel reading today. Early Christians thought she was important enough to give a name–Photini (sometimes spelled Photine), which means “person of light” or “luminous one.” She certainly illuminated Jesus in their interchange!
All we know about her is she’s “that woman at the well.” We have no idea when she was born, or what her life was like. Again, early Christian tradition teaches that she was a witness to the faith. Some said her evangelical skills equaled that of the Apostles. Ironically, legend has it that she was martyred under Emperor Nero by being tortured and finally thrown into a dry well.
