The Rev. Phebe McPherson calls it a "Whoville" moment. On a cold Christmas Eve nine years ago, members of Epiphany Chapel and Church House in Odenton gathered in a circle in the gutted interior of the sanctuary and welcomed in the holy day.
Phyllis Phelps of La Verne and her daughters - Amanda, 22; Emily, 16, and Jenna, 12 - sat quietly listening to people promoting peace and nodded their heads in affirmation. Their eyes collectively closed on occasion as they became entwined in the circle of love encompassing people of many faiths sitting in the sanctuary of Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church in San Dimas on Sept. 11. The Phelps family and 1,100 people of like minds and spirits attended the interfaith peace prayer service hosted by Holy Name of Mary because they believe peace is the way to save the world and humanity.
On a recent morning, the vividly colored Tiffany windows in First Presbyterian Church's sanctuary, at Symphony Circle, glowed brightly. Outside the church, the 168-foot-tall Medina sandstone tower, crowned with a blue-green patina, showed the wear and tear of its age. The tower was built in 1897, but it has never been repointed. The roof and other parts of the building are also in need of repair.
Endora is one of them. (Members of Faerie communities have a strong tradition of naming themselves, and some never know each other's real names.) He has been involved with the community since its inception and, because Faerie Camp Destiny has no appointed leader, Endora serves as the organization's de facto spokesperson. When he's not walking the sanctuary's labyrinth or dancing around a fire, Endora, who lives in Lincoln, teaches comparative religion courses at a local college. He agreed to chat with Seven Days about the sanctuary, the role of Radical Faeries and what it means to go to camp. Another thing that's really key in the Radical Faeries is the connection to the earth. I think, for a lot of queer people, they've been told they're unnatural at every level, so part of it is retur...

Nevada National Guard Sgt. Patrick Stewart was killed in September 2005 when his helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan, but it is just now that his wife, Roberta, is finding quiet closure of the battle that ensued over his government-provided grave marker. On Memorial Day, Patrick Stewart's granite marker - engraved with a pentacle, a five-pointed star enclosed in a circle - will be consecrated at Circle Sanctuary, about 25 miles west of Madison.
The Bush administration has agreed to allow Wiccan pentacles in military cemeteries in a court settlement announced yesterday by Americans United for Separation of Church and State. The settlement was filed with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin to settle a suit filed in November against the Department of Veterans Affairs on behalf of several families of Wiccan soldiers and Circle Sanctuary, a 200-acre Wiccan nature center 30 miles west of Madison, Wis. The sanctuary holds the remains of two soldiers, one who fought in Vietnam and the other in Korea.
