The council’s unanimous approval of the revised ordinance followed a public hearing at which no one spoke either for or against the ordinance. The council o...

The question of churches and allowed min...

Taylor, 91, died April 26. He didn't have a funeral, according to Taylor-Sawyer, he had a "home-going." She said a home-going is for an individual who has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
