Oasis Ministry to Homosexuals Marks Anniversary.
African drummers led a procession that opened a celebratory service at All Saints Church, Hoboken, marking the seventh
anniversary of the Diocese of Newark's Oasis ministry to gays and lesbians. In his sermon, Presiding Bishop Edmond Browning
praised the ministry for offering a place of welcome to homosexuals, noting that the outreach has "saved peoples' sanity and, in
some cases, you have even saved peoples' lives." (Episcopal News Service photo by James H. Thrall)*
