RAY TELLS COURT HE IS NOT GUILTY IN DR KING DEATH
Alvin Schuster, The New York Times, 28 June 1968
LONDON, June 27 — James Earl Ray, accused of killing the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., spoke out about the case for the first time today and denied committing the crime.
Taking the witness stand in a wood-paneled* courtroom at 3:12 P.M., Ray said he had never met Dr. King and had never borne a grudge against him. Then his attorney, Roger Frisby, asked him:
“Did you kill Martin Luther King?” “No sir,” Ray replied.
Ray’s brief and dramatic appearance in the witness chair at Bow Street Magistrates Court came after the United States Government had revealed in detail its case alleging that Ray shot Dr. King in Memphis on April 4 in “calculated, brutal and senseless” murder..
Fingerprints Are Cited The Government is seeking the extradition of Ray to the United States to stand trial in Tennessee for the King murder. In presenting its case, the Government offered the testimony of a fingerprint expert and read affidavits designed to link Ray with the crime.
Arguing through a British attorney, David Calcutt, the Government charged that Ray had bought the rifle that killed Dr. King less than a week before the murder; that on the day of the murder Ray checked into the rooming house across from the Lorraine Hotel, where Dr. King was shot, and that Ray’s fingerprints were on the rifle, its telescopic sight and a pair of binoculars, all found near the scene.
Mr. Frisby did not conclude his arguments today, and the presiding chief metropolitan magistrate, Frank Milton, adjourned the proceedings until Tuesday. Mr. Milton said he hoped to rule on the United States Government’s efforts on that day.
Appeals Are Provided If the magistrate finds against Ray, the defendant may appeal, the case to the Divisional Court of the High Court of Justice and then on application to the law judges of the House of Lords.
Ray was arrested at Heathrow Airport here on June 8 under the alias Ramon George Sneyd. Today he sat calmly in the courtroom surrounded by policemen as Mr. Calcutt accused him of murder.
Wearing horn-rim glasses, a blue checkered suit and a blue shirt, open at the collar, Ray chewed gum and occasionally scratched the back of his neck. The pending United States ��extradition warrants identify the defendant as Ray, an identification that went unchallenged by Ray today. The pending minor British charges—possession of a forged passport and carrying of a firearm—list him as Sneyd.
But for the most part today the nomenclature problem was solved by avoiding the issue. The suspect was usually called “the defendant,” or “this man” or “my client” or “you.” At one point, Ray himself declined to give his name.
The first response of the suspect was elicited by the testimony this morning of Detective Chief Superintendent Thomas Butler of Scotland Yard. Ray wrote a note of protest to his lawyer and later denied major parts of what Chief Butler had said.
The chief is a 55-year-old, gray-haired man who has led the hunt for the “great train robbery” gang which got away in 1962 with $7-million. He told today of his meeting at the airport with Ray on the day of the arrest.
“I saw the defendant at about 1:05 P.M. at London Airport,” Chief Butler said. “I told him we were police officers and said we understand he has two Canadian passports in the name of Sneya and Sneyd.
“’What is your name?’ I asked. He replied: ‘I can’t understand why I’m here. My name is Sneyd.’
Conversation in Jail Chief Butler said he then asked Ray if the information on the passports was correct— that he was a Canadian citizen born in Toronto on Oct. 8, 1932. The chief said that Ray replied that those facts were correct. The suspect was then taken to Cannon Row police station, near the houses of Parliament.
“At 4:45,” Chief Butler went on, “I saw the accused in his cell. I told him that as a result of inquiries made since you have been detained we have every good reason to believe that you are not a Canadian citizen but an American.”
“’Oh well, yes I am,’ he said and nodded. I said I now believe your name is not Sneyd, but James Earl Ray, also known as Eric Starvo Galt and other names; that you were wanted at present in the United States for serious criminal offenses including murder in which a firearm was used.” Chief Butler continued:
“The accused had been standing up but at this point he slumped down on the seat behind him and put his head in his hands and said:
‘“Oh God.’ “After a moment or so, he added: “‘I feel so trapped.’” “I cautioned him again, and he replied: ‘“Well, I shouldn’t say anything more now. I can’t think right.’ ”
It was after this that Ray, 40, passed his note of denial to Mr. Frisby, 46, a soft-spoken graduate of Oxford, who sat beside his legal opponent, Mr. Calcutt, 38. a graduate of Cambridge.
Mr. Frisby based the defense today on the argument that the murder was a “political crime” and as a result was not extraditable under the 1931 extradition treaty with the United States. He said he thought the denial by Ray was not relevant to the basic case he was building.
But Ray was not to be denied his protest. When the magistrate told Ray after the lunch break that he could “say anything you wish,” the suspect rose to his feet along with the policeman sitting beside him and said:
“I think some of the testimony by Butler is false and I would like to say something about this. I take it that newspapers will report this. Some of it is exaggerated.”
When Ray, speaking in a high-pitched voice with a marked Southern accent, said that he had written about it to Mr. Frisby, Mr. Milton recessed the extradition proceedings for 10 minutes to allow Ray and his attorney to confer.
Lawyer Denies Statement On resuming, Mr. Frisby said his client wanted it known that he had not said that he felt “so trapped;” that he had not said “Oh God” and that he had not collapsed onto a seat in “the manner the chief superintendent described.”
“He made no statement like that to any police officers,” Mr. Frisby said.
Like others providing testimony, Mr. Frisby had to speak slowly in presenting Ray’s reply because all testimony was being taken down in longhand, the procedure usually followed in the Bow Street court.
Asked if he would like to, sign the statement read for him, Ray replied he would. But it could not be learned how he signed his name because court officials would not show the document to the press.
The court usher, assuming that Ray would take the oath in the witness box, asked him for his religion so the appropriate Bible could be used. Ray replied softly that he did not have any religion.
The question of “affirming” then arose, but this would have meant that Ray would have had to give his name in the affirmation statement.
Ray looked at Mr. Frisby, who looked at the chief magistrate, who looked at Ray. The magistrate then accepted Mr. Frisby’s suggestion that the formalities pass and that Ray merely make a statement and answer a few questions without the oath.
Some court lawyers noted that if the suspect used the name Ray he could jeopardize his pending case here. And to use the name Sneyd might leave him open to the additional charge of lying on the witness stand. Moreover, by merely making his unsworn statements while sitting in the witness box, Ray avoided cross-examination.
Evidence on Name In arguing for Ray’s extradition, the United States provided a preview of the case to be presented if he is returned.
Mr. Calcutt read affidavit after affidavit to try to establish that the defendant was in fact James Earl Ray, the man witnesses identified as the purchaser of the rifle, the telescopic sight, the binoculars and as the guest in the rooming house across from Dr. King’s hotel.
“The tragic death of Dr. King was the working of the single hand of this man,” the lawyer said.
Mr. Calcutt apparently did not intend to rule out the possibility of a conspiracy by using the phrase “single hand” of this man, but he seemed to be saying that all evidence linked Ray and only Ray to the rifle and the room overlooking the King hotel.
The British attorney sought to dismiss the defense contention that the slaying was a “political crime” by pointing to Article Three of the extradition treaty, which says that extradition should be granted for “murder (including assassination, parricide, infanticide, poisoning) or an attempt or conspiracy to murder.”
If Ray’s court-appointed lawyers succeed in convincing the chief magistrate that the murder was a “political crime” and thus not extraditable, the defendant can still be extradited under a second warrant that seeks his return as an escaped convict.
Ray escaped in April, 1967, from Missouri State Penitentiary, where he still had 13 years to serve of a 20-year term for armed robbery and car theft.
The problem, however, is that, under the 1931 treaty, if Ray is surrendered on the lesser charge he cannot later be charged in an American court with the murder of Dr. King. The court dealt with both warrants today but most of the evidence presented centered on the King slaying.
Mr. Calcutt began revealing what he said were Ray’s movements up to the time of the crime and shortly thereafter. Quoting from affidavits, he said that Ray had gone to the Aero Marine Supply Company in Birmingham, Ala., on March 29 and had purchased a Winchester. rifle, using the name Harry Lowmyer.
Standing in front of Fred M. Vinson Jr., the United States Assistant Attorney General, who arrived yesterday, Mr. Calcutt said that Ray had called the store the next day and had said that he had talked with his brother and wanted to exchange the rifle. Ray reportedly said he was “going deer hunting in Wisconsin with a brother-in-law.”
He returned the next day, Mr. Calcutt went on. and exchanged the rifle and telescopic lens for a Remington, serial number 461476. The lawyer added that Ray was identified by Donald Wood, owner of the gun store, and a customer, John De Shazo.
Witness Tells of Shot An affidavit from Henrietta Hagemaster, clerk at the New Rebel Motel in Memphis, then placed Ray there for the night of April 3. Another affidavit, from Charles Stephens, resident at the rooming house at 424J/2 South Main Street, placed Ray there the day of the slaying.
“From a bathroom [in the rooming house], a person could see into Dr. King’s room,” the lawyer went on. “At 4 o’clock in the afternoon this defendant1 went into 424 South Main Street, where accommodation was available, and he booked a room.
“As he did this he was seen by a witness—a Mr. Stephens. The defendant got a room and between then and 6 o’clock in the evening he used only the bathroom and lavatory.
“Mr. Stephens, who was in the adjoining room, says that the man used the bathroom and lavatory on three occasions, each time for a long time. At 6 o’clock Mr. Stephens says he heard a shot fired from the bathroom. He came out of his room and saw a man leaving below. He says it was the man who he had seen booking in earlier.
“The defendant left in a hurry, leaving binocular straps in his room. When he got out of the hotel entrance, he turned and left and dropped his kit of rifle, sights and binoculars in a doorway. He then made off in a car waiting nearby,” the lawyer alleged.
The package was dropped in front of an amusement arcade owned by Guy Canipe, who, Mr. Calcutt said, came out and saw a man drive off in a white car.
The police took possession of the rifle and binoculars, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation fingerprint expert who testified today, George Bone-brake, said that Ray’s fingerprints had been on both.
Political Questioning “The bullet which killed Dr. King,” Mr. Calcutt went on, “was examined and recovered and there is a strong likelihood that the bullet came from the rifle found by the’ police. It is also likely that the strap found in his room belonged to the binoculars found with the rifle.” The recovered rifle, he said, bore the same serial number as the one purchased in Birmingham. It was a .30-’06, model 760.
Mr. Bonebrake, who is with the F.B.I. in Washington, said he had compared the fingerprints he found with the fingerprints of James Earl Ray in Los Angeles police files.
“I found that they belonged to one and the same individual,” he added.
Mr. Bonebrake then underwent some unusual questioning for a fingerprint expert. Mr. Frisby gently put to him a series of questions about the racial situation in the United States, about the role of Dr. King, and about the hostility the Negro leader often en* countered.
Mr. Frisby said the questioning was part of his effort to establish the killing as a “political crime.” Article Six of the extradition treaty says in part that a “fugitive criminal shall not be surrendered if the crime or the offense in respect of which his surrender is demanded is one of a political character.”
Soblen and Eisler Cases At the outset of today’s proceedings, Mr. Frisby asked that no restriction on-publicity under the new Criminal Justice Act be applied to the proceedings, and the magistrate said that the act did not apply today.
The new act, which became effective last Jan. 1, prohibits the publication in England of newspaper reports on preliminary criminal hearings unless the defense requests publication. The idea is to prevent !prejudicing the jury in the actual trial later. But this provision of the act does not apply to extradition proceedings.
The British Government is proceeding carefully in the Ray case in part because of the controversy created in this country
by its handling in 1962 of Dr. Robert A. Soblen, who was convicted of conducting Soviet espionage in the United States and fled to avoid serving a life sentence.
He conducted a 10-week fight to remain in Britain, appealing for political asylum and noting that espionage was not an extraditable offense. The Home Office denied Soblen asylum and ordered him put on an airplane bound for the United States, provoking charges in
Parliament that the Government was in fact extraditing the spy in the name of deportation. Dr. Soblen took an overdose of drugs here on Sept. 11, 1962, and died before he was deported.
Another case recalled by the present one was that of Gerhart Eisler in 1949. He was indicted for making false statements in Washington in order to leave, the United States. He slipped on board the Polish liner Batory in New York Harbor after paying 25 cents to tour as a visitor. The ship sailed and British authorities pulled the East German Communist off the boat in Southampton.
The United States sought his extradition, but the Bow Street magistrate then ruled that the alleged perjury was merely a technical matter and that the United States had failed to show that “Eisler has been guilty of an extradition crime.” Eisler died at the age of Si this March.

(VATICAN CITY) — Pope Francis called George Floyd by name, twice, and offered support to an American bishop who knelt in prayer during a Black Lives Matter protest.
Cardinals black and white have spoken out about Floyd’s death, and the Vatican’s communications juggernaut has shifted into overdrive to draw attention to the cause he now represents.
Under normal circumstances, Floyd’s killing at the hands of a white police officer and the global protests denouncing racism and police brutality might have drawn a muted diplomatic response from the Holy See. But in a U.S. election year, the intensity and consistency of the Vatican’s reaction suggests that, from the pope on down, it is seeking to encourage anti-racism protesters while making a clear statement about where American Catholics should stand ahead of President Donald Trump’s bid for a second term in November.
Francis “wants to send a very clear message to these conservative Catholics here who are pro-Trumpers that, ‘Listen, this is just as much of an issue as abortion is,’” said Anthea Butler, a presidential visiting fellow at Yale Divinity School.
Butler, who is African American, said the Vatican is telling Catholics “to pay attention to the racism that is happening and the racism that is in your own church in America.”
The Vatican has long spoken out about racial injustice, and popes dating to Paul VI have voiced support for the civil rights movement and Martin Luther King Jr.’s message of nonviolent protest. History’s first pope from the global south is no different. He quoted King at length during his historic speech to the U.S. Congress in 2015 and met with King’s daughter, as his predecessor had done.
But the degree to which Francis and the Vatican have seized on Floyd’s killing is unusual and suggests a coordinated messaging strategy aimed at a national church that Francis has long criticized for its political and ideological partisanship, said Alberto Melloni, a church historian and secretary of the John XXIII Foundation for Religious Studies in Bologna, Italy.
“It’s not like seven people had the same type of reaction” by chance, Melloni said.
Last week, Francis denounced the “sin of racism” and twice identified Floyd as the victim of a “tragic” killing. In a message read in Italian and English during his general audience, Francis expressed concerns about violence during the protests, saying it was self-destructive.
He also said, “We cannot close our eyes to any form of racism or exclusion, while pretending to defend the sacredness of every human life.”
It was a clear effort to call out some conservative Catholics for whom the abortion issue is paramount, while other “life” issues dear to Francis — racism, immigration, the death penalty and poverty — play second fiddle at the ballot box.
Francis has firmly upheld the church’s opposition to abortion. And polls show a plurality of American Catholics support significant restrictions on legal abortion.
But Francis has also lamented that the U.S. church is “obsessed” with abortion, contraception and gay marriage to the detriment of its other teachings. Trump is staking his outreach to Catholic voters largely on his anti-abortion platform.
Francis spoke out June 3 after Trump posed in front of an Episcopal church near the White House, Bible in hand, after law enforcement aggressively forced protesters away from a nearby park.
A day later, Trump visited the St. John Paul II shrine, a visit denounced by the highest-ranking African American prelate in the U.S., Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Washington, D.C., whom Francis appointed to the politically important position last year. Gregory said he found it “baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated.”
In that vein, the pope’s phone call to Texas Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso last week appeared quietly significant. Seitz has taken a leading role in demanding fair treatment for migrants attempting to cross the southern U.S. border, a cause Francis has championed in ways that have fueled tensions with Trump.
Francis called Seitz unexpectedly after he was photographed kneeling in prayer at a Black Lives Matter protest. Seitz said the pope thanked him without mentioning the demonstration, but the context was clear: “My recent words and actions on the events that are taking place in the country now” after Floyd’s killing.
Francis was not alone in making the Vatican’s views known.
While the Holy See would be loath to be seen as picking sides prior to the U.S. election, its media operation has made clear its backing for peaceful protests, denouncing injustices suffered by black Americans and underlining its longtime support of King’s message.
Sunday’s L’Osservatore Romano newspaper featured three Floyd-related stories on its front page. The first was that 1 million people were expected to protest that day in Washington.
A second story was about a video showing two U.S. police officers shoving 75-year-old Martin Gugino, a white Catholic protester, to the ground in Buffalo. “Go watch it, please,” the article said.
Its third story was about a prayer service presided over by the highest-ranking American at the Vatican, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, who decried how America’s constitutional ideals were failing its black citizens.
In an interview, Farrell said he has spoken to Francis in the past about America’s race problems, which he saw up close as an auxiliary bishop in Washington. Farrell said Francis is well versed in King and American history.
Francis “knows what the principle was and he knows what the struggle was,” Farrell said.
Natalia Imperatori-Lee, a professor of religious studies at Manhattan College, said the Vatican’s message is having an effect on American Catholics.
“We are starting to see a kind of fissure emerge,” she said. “Whether that’s going to be long lasting or whether it is a sign of a paradigm shift, I think it’s too early to tell.”
A poll from the nonprofit Public Religion Research Institute last week found that the share of white Catholics holding favorable views of Trump had dropped by double digits since last year, registering 37% in the last week of May compared with 49% across 2019.
The test, Imperatori-Lee said, will be if priests are still preaching about racism in six months. And beyond that: “I guess we’ll know if this works when Catholics go to the polls in November.”

For the last couple of days, this has been weighing very heavy on my heart. I feel overwhelming saddened, angry, frustrated and just plain exhausted. The events that have taken place in America will stay with our generation for a lifetime and deserve a place in history books for all to learn even after we have gone.
For far too long racism has crippled all societies worldwide, and gone unchecked and unnoticed, but mostly by choice. This just simply has to end, and has to become a collective effort from all of humanity for changes to be made. From people who say "all lives matter" to "supporting Trump but not his ideas", have to now recognise that they have validated the opinions of oppression and his ideas, including those of White supremacy and imperialism, are the very same who claim to love all, without fully understanding or educating themselves of the negative historical impacts it has left.
It has also been equally disheartening to even see members of my own family, of White passing Middle Eastern descent mind you, who have clearly forgotten that they have Black family members, support these poisoned ideals and still think they are justified in their inaction, with the belief that because we live in the West and are educated, that this does not concern us because we are "different" (just know i am thoroughly disgusted and embarrassed by you). This same difference which has seen Black graduates 3 times more likely to be unemployed after graduation, not because they aren't good enough, but because they are seen as not worthy of a position they should be granted because of the colour of their skin or because their names aren't White sounding. The same graduates who have the same grades or higher as their White counterparts because of damaging stereotypes of Black people being "not hard working enough or simply lazy". Even upon securing whatever available jobs, they still face systemic racism and prejudice from colleagues and managers who refuse to acknowledge issues affecting them at the workplace, ignore the hard work they do when going above and beyond, and refuse to support them fully in roles given while going above board for those used to abusing this system for their own benefit.
Seeing the indifference still from my White friends, who have deliberately chosen to not speak on this matter, although this news is worldwide and knowing that they are not running from it but still choosing to be silent is heartbreaking. Silence is violence. And if you still choose to be silent with all this going on, then you are choosing the side of opression for those you so claim to dearly love and be friends with. It's become easier to undermine the efforts by talking about rioters and looters, but as the great Martin Luther King Jr (who many love to quote), "riots is the language of the oppressed". So why ignore this and not listen?! Yes there are looters among them, but we all know these are opportunists looking to take advantage of the situation. Among them are agitators seeking to escalate this issue to a critical breaking point just to give racists like a Trump reason to use force by bringing out the military. Who are you really to tell us also how to protest? What injustice have you faced to even compare to what we have suffered for over 300+ years, to dictate to us to be peaceful? A question I posed to one person, for clarity, is 'if something happened to a Black member of your family, would you be peaceful?' Just stop for a moment and deeply listen to what we are saying. We are oppressed, and tired of no one speaking for us. WHY WON'T ANYONE SPEAK OUT FOR US?!
When the LGBTQ+ community needed us we were there. When the Jews needed us, we were there. When Muslims needed us after 9/11 we were there. We have been here for a long time for everyone. You should always be with us, because we were always with you. But with the world becoming climatised to the media demonising Black people especially black women as angry, difficult, criminals and untrustworthy is damaging to our very psyche and to our community, yet no one still wants to really listen to us or speak for us. Instead many wish to use this movement now to gain followers and notoriety and be praised for appearing "woke" and in tune to our basic human demands. There are even others who say respect the police and don't fight them as not all cops are bad. But where were they during this time when Black bodies were being looted and are still being looted. As far as I am concerned, all cops are bad because they had the chance time and time again to correct their fellow officers. They had time to report all the bad things they saw and heard about about them doing. They had time to stop them from looting black bodies, and yet, they still didn't stop them. They didn't report them. Instead they stood by in silence next to them, and allowed them to disrespect the profession they chose. A profession meant to protect and serve. A profession that they did neither of those things, and now use them as photo opportunities to promote themselves as being better, only to then continue doing that same things as before. The same photo opportunities Trump has now used to take photos with a bible just to appear pleasing to his Christian followers, only for the Bishop of the Church to come out and condemn him for his actions, because he wanted to talk about a church being burned.
I'm sorry to break it to you, but in America, Christianity has been used to oppress the same Black people who's ancestors built that country for free through bondage. There are too many things wrong with this image that people don't want to see because it's convenient for them. I'm not here to attack religions as many others are also guilty of alienating Black followers amongst them also. But until we are brave enough to withstand the forces, how will we ever get the courage to continue to speak out about what's right. As we have all seen on screens the last few days, Black people are a force to be recond with, and quite frankly this now your chance in history to be apart of it to make a collective change, or be swept away in the dust of inaction, silence and injustice.

I love you without question, without calculation, without reason good or bad, faithfully, with all my heart and soul, and every faculty. – Juliette Drouet • I love you for the part of me that you bring out. – Elizabeth Barrett Browning • I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you – Roy Croft • I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close. – Pablo Neruda • I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love. – Henry Ward Beecher • I really don’t know what “I love you” means.

But when it comes to you and I, color is all I see. – Lady Gaga • I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can play together all night. – Bill Watterson • I think you still love me, but we can’t escape the fact that I’m not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So I’m not blaming you for falling in love with another woman. I’m not angry, either. I should be, but I’m not. I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong. – Haruki Murakami • I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty… you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. – J. D. Salinger • I was born when you kissed me. I died when you left me. I lived a few weeks while you loved me. – Humphrey Bogart • I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness as it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge. – Og Mandino • If a person loves only one other person and is indifferent to all others, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an enlarged egotism. – Erich Fromm • If everybody loves you, something is wrong. Find at least one enemy to keep you alert. – Paulo Coelho • If I could be anything in the world I would want to be a teardrop because I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips. – Mary, Queen of Scots • If I know what love is, it is because of you. – Hermann Hesse • If I say your voice is an amber waterfall in which I yearn to burn each day, if you eat my mouth like a mystical rose with powers of healing and damnation, If I confess that your body is the only civilization I long to experience… would it mean that we are close to knowing something about love? – Aberjhani • If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile. – Lynda Barry • If love is the soul of Christian existence, it must be at the heart of every other Christian virtue. Thus, for example, justice without love is legalism; faith without love is ideology; hope without love is self-centeredness; forgiveness without love is self-abasement; fortitude without love is recklessness; generosity without love is extravagance; care without love is mere duty; fidelity without love is servitude. Every virtue is an expression of love. No virtue is really a virtue unless it is permeated, or informed, by love. – Richard Rohr • If my love were an ocean, there would be no more land. If my love were a desert, you would see only sand. If my love were a star- late at night, only light. And if my love could grow wings, I’d be soaring in flight. – Jay Asher • If somebody says, “I love you,” to me, I feel as though I had a pistol pointed at my head. What can anybody reply under such conditions but that which the pistol-holder requires? “I love you, too.” – Kurt Vonnegut • If you find someone you love in your life, then hang on to that love. – Princess Diana • If you judge people, you have no time to love them. – Mother Teresa • If you keep in mind that love and love alone is the reason for living, it will calm your heart and free you from your worries. – Harold Klemp • If you love deeply, you’re going to get hurt badly. But it’s still worth it. – C. S. Lewis • If you love something let it go free. If it doesn’t come back, you never had it. If it comes back, love it forever. – Douglas Horton • If you loved someone, you loved him, and when you had nothing else to give, you still gave him love. – George Orwell • If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it. – Mother Teresa • I’m tired of love; I’m still more tired of rhyme; but money gives me pleasure all the time. – Hilaire Belloc • Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you.’ Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you.’ – Erich Fromm • In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine. – Maya Angelou • In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire. – Paulo Coelho • It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death. – Thomas Mann • It is not that love is blind. It is that love sees with a painter’s eye, finding the essence that renders all else background. – Robert Breault • It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love. – Miguel de Unamuno • It isn’t possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal. – E. M. Forster • It seems everyone’s so worried about getting hurt that they forget about letting love happen. – Carlos Salinas • I’ve only been in love with a beer bottle and a mirror. – Sid Vicious • Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

Be ready. Here comes life. – Maya Angelou • Life and love are life and love, a bunch of violets is a bunch of violets, and to drag in the idea of a point is to ruin everything. Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless. – D. H. Lawrence • Life began after I fell in love with you – Brad Hodge • Life is short. Kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly – Paulo Coelho • Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that’s all. You can’t see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it. – Mitch Albom • Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves. – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin • Love and desire are the spirit’s wings to great deeds. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe • Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop. – Saint Augustine • Love feels no burden, regards not labors, strives toward more than it attains, argues not of impossibility, since it believes that it may and can do all things. – Thomas a Kempis • Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away. – Elbert Hubbard • Love hard when there is love to be had.

Baldwin • Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. – William Shakespeare • Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other. – Euripides • Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself. – Leo Buscaglia • Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it. – Rabindranath Tagore • Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition. – Alexander Smith • Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. – Aristotle • Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see life as a whole, by which and by which alone we can understand others in their real and their ideal relation. Only what is fine, and finely conceived can feed love. But anything will feed hate. – Oscar Wilde • Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. – Ann Landers • Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source. – Leo Tolstoy • Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. – Paulo Coelho • Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone.

Heinlein • Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you’ve got to let it grow. – John Lennon • Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life, and is prophetic of eternal good. – Petrarch • Love is the expression of the one who loves, not of the one who is loved. Those who think they can love only the people they prefer do not love at all. Love discovers truths about individuals that others cannot see – Soren Kierkegaard • Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms without the aid of the seasons – Khalil Gibran • Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation. – Rabindranath Tagore • Love is the river of life in this world. – Henry Ward Beecher • Love is the symbol of eternity. – Madame de Stael • Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star. – e. e. cummings • Love is when you don’t have to be with another person to touch their heart! – Torquato Tasso • Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself. – Andre Breton • Love isn’t something you find.

Love just makes it a safer place. – Ice T • Reason is powerless in the expression of Love. – Rumi • Relationships become rocky when men and women fail to acknowledge they are biologically different and when each expects the other to live up to their expectations.

When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers. – Nhat Hanh • The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life. – Hugh Walpole • The only measure of your worth and your deeds will be the love you leave behind when you’re gone. – Fred Small • The only victory over love is flight. – Napoleon Bonaparte • The pain of love is the pain of being alive.

We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost.

When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days.

No eleven minutes for them. – Paulo Coelho • As her father had so often said… Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live. – Sherrilyn Kenyon • Ask not of me, love, what is love?

And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more. – Erica Jong • Don’t speak to me about your religion; first show it to me in how you treat other people. Don’t tell me how much you love your God; show me in how much you love all God’s children. Don’t preach to me your passion for your faith; teach me through your compassion for your neighbors.

Moody • For above all, love is a sharing. Love is a power. Love is a change that takes place in our own heart. Sometimes it may change others, but always it changes us. – James Dillet Freeman • For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it. – Ivan Panin • For love is immortality. – Emily Dickinson • For those who love… time is eternity. – Henry Van Dyke • For what is love itself, for the one we love best?

I am a common man with common thoughts and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. – Nicholas Sparks • I fell in love with her when we were together, then fell deeper in love with her in the years we were apart. – Nicholas Sparks • I finally understood what true love meant…love meant that you care for another person’s happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be. – Nicholas Sparks • I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved. – George Eliot • I love her and that’s the beginning and end of everything. – F.

I love you without question, without calculation, without reason good or bad, faithfully, with all my heart and soul, and every faculty. – Juliette Drouet • I love you for the part of me that you bring out. – Elizabeth Barrett Browning • I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you – Roy Croft • I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close. – Pablo Neruda • I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love. – Henry Ward Beecher • I really don’t know what “I love you” means. I think it means “Don’t leave me here alone. – Neil Gaiman • I see love in black and white. Passion in shades of “gris”. But when it comes to you and I, color is all I see. – Lady Gaga • I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can play together all night. – Bill Watterson • I think you still love me, but we can’t escape the fact that I’m not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So I’m not blaming you for falling in love with another woman. I’m not angry, either. I should be, but I’m not. I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong. – Haruki Murakami • I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty… you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. – J. D. Salinger • I was born when you kissed me. I died when you left me. I lived a few weeks while you loved me. – Humphrey Bogart • I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness as it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge. – Og Mandino • If a person loves only one other person and is indifferent to all others, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an enlarged egotism. – Erich Fromm • If everybody loves you, something is wrong. Find at least one enemy to keep you alert. – Paulo Coelho • If I could be anything in the world I would want to be a teardrop because I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips. – Mary, Queen of Scots • If I know what love is, it is because of you. – Hermann Hesse • If I say your voice is an amber waterfall in which I yearn to burn each day, if you eat my mouth like a mystical rose with powers of healing and damnation, If I confess that your body is the only civilization I long to experience… would it mean that we are close to knowing something about love? – Aberjhani • If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile. – Lynda Barry • If love is the soul of Christian existence, it must be at the heart of every other Christian virtue. Thus, for example, justice without love is legalism; faith without love is ideology; hope without love is self-centeredness; forgiveness without love is self-abasement; fortitude without love is recklessness; generosity without love is extravagance; care without love is mere duty; fidelity without love is servitude. Every virtue is an expression of love. No virtue is really a virtue unless it is permeated, or informed, by love. – Richard Rohr • If my love were an ocean, there would be no more land. If my love were a desert, you would see only sand. If my love were a star- late at night, only light. And if my love could grow wings, I’d be soaring in flight. – Jay Asher • If somebody says, “I love you,” to me, I feel as though I had a pistol pointed at my head. What can anybody reply under such conditions but that which the pistol-holder requires? “I love you, too.” – Kurt Vonnegut • If you find someone you love in your life, then hang on to that love. – Princess Diana • If you judge people, you have no time to love them. – Mother Teresa • If you keep in mind that love and love alone is the reason for living, it will calm your heart and free you from your worries. – Harold Klemp • If you love deeply, you’re going to get hurt badly. But it’s still worth it. – C. S. Lewis • If you love something let it go free. If it doesn’t come back, you never had it. If it comes back, love it forever. – Douglas Horton • If you loved someone, you loved him, and when you had nothing else to give, you still gave him love. – George Orwell • If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it. – Mother Teresa • I’m tired of love; I’m still more tired of rhyme; but money gives me pleasure all the time. – Hilaire Belloc • Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you.’ Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you.’ – Erich Fromm • In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine. – Maya Angelou • In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire. – Paulo Coelho • It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death. – Thomas Mann • It is not that love is blind. It is that love sees with a painter’s eye, finding the essence that renders all else background. – Robert Breault • It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love. – Miguel de Unamuno • It isn’t possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal. – E. M. Forster • It seems everyone’s so worried about getting hurt that they forget about letting love happen. – Carlos Salinas • I’ve only been in love with a beer bottle and a mirror. – Sid Vicious • Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

Be ready. Here comes life. – Maya Angelou • Life and love are life and love, a bunch of violets is a bunch of violets, and to drag in the idea of a point is to ruin everything. Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless. – D. H. Lawrence • Life began after I fell in love with you – Brad Hodge • Life is short. Kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly – Paulo Coelho • Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that’s all. You can’t see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it. – Mitch Albom • Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves. – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin • Love and desire are the spirit’s wings to great deeds. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe • Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop. – Saint Augustine • Love feels no burden, regards not labors, strives toward more than it attains, argues not of impossibility, since it believes that it may and can do all things. – Thomas a Kempis • Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away. – Elbert Hubbard • Love hard when there is love to be had.

Baldwin • Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. – William Shakespeare • Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other. – Euripides • Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself. – Leo Buscaglia • Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it. – Rabindranath Tagore • Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition. – Alexander Smith • Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. – Aristotle • Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see life as a whole, by which and by which alone we can understand others in their real and their ideal relation. Only what is fine, and finely conceived can feed love. But anything will feed hate. – Oscar Wilde • Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. – Ann Landers • Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source. – Leo Tolstoy • Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. – Paulo Coelho • Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone.

Heinlein • Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you’ve got to let it grow. – John Lennon • Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life, and is prophetic of eternal good. – Petrarch • Love is the expression of the one who loves, not of the one who is loved. Those who think they can love only the people they prefer do not love at all. Love discovers truths about individuals that others cannot see – Soren Kierkegaard • Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms without the aid of the seasons – Khalil Gibran • Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation. – Rabindranath Tagore • Love is the river of life in this world. – Henry Ward Beecher • Love is the symbol of eternity. – Madame de Stael • Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star. – e. e. cummings • Love is when you don’t have to be with another person to touch their heart! – Torquato Tasso • Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself. – Andre Breton • Love isn’t something you find. Love is something that finds you. – Loretta Young • Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. – William Shakespeare • Love loves to love love. – James Joyce • Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person.

Love just makes it a safer place. – Ice T • Reason is powerless in the expression of Love. – Rumi • Relationships become rocky when men and women fail to acknowledge they are biologically different and when each expects the other to live up to their expectations. Much of the stress we experience in relationships comes from the false belief that men and women are now the same and have the same priorities, drives and desires – Barbara Pease • Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. – Dalai Lama • Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be. – Leo Tolstoy • Soul meets soul on lovers’ lips. – Percy Bysshe Shelley • Take love when love is given. – Sara Teasdale • The garden of love is green without limit and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy. Love is beyond either condition: without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh. – Rumi • The giving of love and understanding is an education in itself. – Eleanor Roosevelt • The greatest pleasure of life is love. – Euripides • The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they’re alive. – Orlando Aloysius Battista • The love that lasts longest is the love that is never returned. – W. Somerset Maugham • The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them; it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself. – Moliere • The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers. – Nhat Hanh • The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life. – Hugh Walpole • The only measure of your worth and your deeds will be the love you leave behind when you’re gone. – Fred Small • The only victory over love is flight. – Napoleon Bonaparte • The pain of love is the pain of being alive.

Then the world will see that God is with us, empowering us to live in a way that reflects his love and power. – Brother Yun • We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love. – Tom Robbins • We’re all a little weird.

"Socio-Economic Inequality: How Do We Care for One Another" ...a look into what I am actually studying at seminary
I get asked often, what exactly is your degree in...it is in social ethics. What does that mean? That is a great question! Most people come to seminary to get a Masters of Divinity to be pastors or are incredibly intelligent like my husband and come to study biblical languages and the Old Testament. I am here as more of a practical theologian...how do we as Christians “practice what we preach.” I study and research the social ethic of the Christian walk. So how does one accomplish this task through a New Testament theology class titled “Paul and His Letters?” 
This summer our professor gave us this writing prompt for our final paper: Imagine the following: you are asked to present a paper at a conference being hosted by local non-Christian college. The theme of the conference is the following: The Apostle Paul and the Modern World. You have been given a great deal of leeway regarding the topic of your paper, but it must be directly (as opposed tangentially) related to the conference theme. 
This was the title of my paper:  "Socio-Economic Inequality: How Do We Care for One Another" tracing the theme of the Jerusalem offering throughout Paul's letters and its relevance to caring for the least of these in post-modernity.
THIS WAS THE MOST FUN I HAVE HAD WRITING A PAPER IN THE LAST YEAR. I was learning, exploring the text in a new way, and growing in the way I view caring for “the least of these.” I have included my opening paragraph below, but if you would like to read the whole ten page paper and my conclusion, leave me your email and I will get it to you ASAP.
Social justice and socio-economic differences and struggles are not new to our post-modern culture. Throughout the Old Testament the Christian Bible and Jewish Scriptures, social inequality is seen and addressed as God seeks to bring justice to the oppressed. He uses prophets, men who speak the truth of God, and call people to repentance. The struggle for socio-economic equality continues throughout the course of history. This fight goes far beyond financial stability and targets corrupt systems as well as calling people to action. Quotes from history highlight the ongoing struggle for justice such as, “Striving for social justice is the most valuable thing to do in life” stated by Albert Einstein 1 and more familiar to the recent past “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly,” a quote that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr made in his Letter from the Birmingham Jail. This paper aims to show the reader that the Apostle Paul, found in the New Testament of the Christian Bible, sought to not only alleviate poverty in the church in Jerusalem through a collection taken by “outsiders” of the Jewish faith, called Gentiles,  but also to bring unity to a racially, ethnically and socio-economically divided church. The course of action that Paul executed is still relevant to the same struggles we see in the world today.
Thanks for sharing in my learning!! I cannot wait to see what year two holds!

From the report by Steve Kolowich, posted 26 July 2017:
When it came time to record the segment, Mr. Curry spoke without a script.
"When we have this conversation about violence or killing white people, it has to be looked at in the kind of these historical terms," he said.
"And the fact that we’ve had no one address, like, how relevant and how solidified this kind of tradition is, for black people saying, ‘Look in order to be equal, in order to be liberated, some white people may have to die.’ I’ve just been immensely disappointed, because what we look at, week after week, is national catastrophe after catastrophe where black people, black children, are still dying."
White conservatives speak reverently of gun rights, said Mr. Curry. "But when we turn the conversation back and say, ‘Does the black community ever need to own guns? Does the black community have a need to protect itself? Does the black individual have a need to protect himself from police officers?’ We don’t have that conversation at all."
The segment aired, and nothing happened. Mr. Redding posted Mr. Curry’s piece on YouTube in December 2012 with the title "Dr. Tommy Curry on killing whites," then forgot about it.
Until Rod Dreher found it.
To his ears, Mr. Curry sounded like a bully. "That rat-a-tat-tat way of talking reminded me of people I’ve encountered in the past who are so busy talking at you that they don’t actually listen," says Mr. Dreher. "He reminded me of political and religious extremists I’ve run across in my life in that way. That stuff sets me on edge."
So he decided to expose Mr. Curry on his blog. Mr. Dreher embedded the "killing whites" radio segment and quoted from other radio appearances in which the professor had talked about how white people would never voluntarily surrender their advantages.
"What does any of this racist bilge mean?" wrote Mr. Dreher. "To prove his own human worth to Tommy Curry, a white person has to despise himself? Good luck with that, Tommy Curry."
He published it on a Monday, this past May 8, at 8:30 a.m.
To some of Mr. Curry’s colleagues, the statement [Texas A&M President Michael Young] sent out to mollify the professor’s critics was not an affirmation of the university’s core values. It was a betrayal.
Joe Feagin, a long-serving sociology professor, wrote to Mr. Young the next morning. "Michael," he wrote, "I wish you had contacted me about the Curry matter."  But the president hadn’t, so Mr. Feagin aired his concerns to a student reporter instead.  In an email to The Battalion, a campus newspaper, the sociologist argued that the Second Amendment arose out of the desire of all-white militias to arm themselves against the black people they had enslaved.  Mr. Curry’s 2012 radio lecture, he said, was based on good research.
Nandra Perry, an associate professor of English, teaches about the Bible as literature. "In the process of teaching that course," she told the president in an email message, "I make all manner of perfectly benign observations rooted in my academic expertise that could easily be recorded, edited, and taken out of context in order to smear my character or pit people against each other."
Perhaps the most scathing rebuke to the president came in a letter signed by every faculty member in the Africana-studies department, where Mr. Curry also holds a faculty appointment. The history of black thought, they said, includes more than Martin Luther King Jr.’s crossover hits. By dismissing Mr. Curry’s comments on violent resistance as "personal views," they said, Mr. Young had delegitimized the professor’s expertise and dismissed centuries of history.
"Blacks in the United States live with the daily fear that a traffic stop, or a trip to the store or the park, could be the end of their lives," wrote the professors. "Yet we cannot talk about black resistance? Historically or contemporaneously? Are you aware that Dr. Curry’s work falls within a longstanding epistemological tradition in black diaspora and colonial studies?"
They demanded an apology.
