Christians pray and worship together in New Orleans one year after Katrina, according to Joe McKeever, Director of Missions for Southern Baptists in NO. Mr Mc Keever is worth reading daily for his insight into the recovery and redemption of New Orleans. I think he presents a much more balanced and objective and, at the same time, subjective in the best sense, picture of ongoing events in New Orleans than any mainstream media reports I’ve heard or read. Mr. McKeever doesn’t just visit NO and take some photographs; he lives there.
