It's not bad. Knowing you've never played FF makes me somewhat forgiving on this, but it sounds a lot like materia as introduced in FF7. I personally find nothing wrong with the name magicite, though (didn't play FF3). The good/evil stuff seems a little illogical (to me, substances are a media and have no innate good or bad, it is how they are used that determines their worth), but I'll wait for you to flesh that out before judging. Good write up.
EDIT: Thaumatrium sounds even cooler.

30 Assassins necromancer
NPCs (Extras) (Criminal/Espionage)
's comment on 2006-11-27 12:39 AM
The Brute
- He will more than get the job done, but don't expect a clean kill. Not a masochist like the Mutilator, this one just happens to prefer killing by blunt force trauma more than anything else.
The Black Widow
- Part seductress, part killer. She lures in her prey with her sexuality before killing them.
The Politico
- She'll only take jobs that match her political leanings - or, at the least, don't oppose them. Her victims are usually found with some revolutionary pamphlet explaining the murder. These tend to be high profile contracts as well.
The Sniper
- His victims never see it coming. An expert at all projectiles - bows, crossbows, darts, javelins, basically anything that can be used from a distance. He is rarely caught due to his distance from the target, but he won't dare take a shot unless he's 100% sure it'll hit, making some jobs more difficult than others.
The Decoy
- Not so much a skilled assassin as an average man on the street who knows which end of the knife is pointy. If a large, prominent organization - a government, for example - wants a job done but needs to distance itself from the target for political reasons, a decoy can be hired to do the hit and take blame.
The Shadow
- In and out before anyone can see her, this assassin is the definition of stealth. She can leave a mess since she leaves before any clean up can be done, but she is rarely caught. This also makes her very pricey.
The Bomber
- An alchemist and sapper, this assassin specializes in explosives. A bomb can be rigged just about anywhere for the right price. He tends to move from town to town, as his explosive calling card is too distinct to stay under cover too long.
The Trapper
- A wizard and woodsman, this assassin prefers to set up elaborate traps to eliminate targets. Because of the specialized nature of her work, she tends to only be useful in jobs involving castles or out-of-the-way public places, not house calls.
The Infiltrator
- It doesn't matter where the target is hiding, this assassin will get in and make the hit. Particularly useful when a lord or other paranoid locks himself away in a keep or mansion. Some infiltrators have a short life expectancy: they can get in easily enough, but getting out alive is sometimes tougher.

The Feud
A few miles outside of a farming village, the PCs see the road blocked by a small crowd. At the center of the crowd are two old men, farmers by the look of them, furiously shouting at each other. If the PCs inquire, someone in the crowd will explain that it's Old Man Cheras and Papa Ghel, the patriarchs of two large farming families that go back generations. A feud between the families also goes back a ways. Most have forgotten it, but when Old Man Cheras saw a Ghel shepherd treading on his land, he went berserk. Now the two elderly gentlemen are close to duking it out in the center of the main highway. Perhaps the PCs could negotiate peace between them--or side with one and end the feud by force. Or they could just move around them.

back to archiveDoes Tryfan measure up?
Ever since detailed maps of Snowdonia have been produced, the 3,002-foot Tryfan has been a member of the 14 peaks, the list of 3,000-foot Welsh mountains. But recently some experts have asked, "Does Tryfan really measure up?"
The matter will be settled in June when three amateur mountain surveyors haul professional GPS equipment and computers to the summit. John Barnard, Graham Jackson and Snowdonia Society member Myrddyn Phillips have a serious track record in surveying mountains and their measurements are accepted by Ordnance Survey, the national mapping agency.
In 2008, Mynydd Graig Goch on the Nantlle Ridge was designated as a 2,000 foot mountain as a result of their work. Last summer they proved that one of the accepted 3,000 foot Scottish Munros was no such thing. Now they have Tryfan in their sights.
Myrddyn says, "We are interested in whether or not it is indeed above the 3,000-foot mark. It would certainly make the challenge of visiting every Welsh 3,000 foot summit in a single journey easier if it wasn't!"
Mark Greaves, Ordnance Survey Geodetics Advisor, has been working closely with the expedition. He comments, "The professionalism shown by Myrddyn and the team means we have no hesitation in supporting their work. Once their survey is complete we will verify the accuracy of their data and, providing it meets our standards, which I'm sure it will, the revision will be made to the relevant maps and mapping data."
Ordnance Survey makes around 5000 changes a day to the digital mastermap of Britain used by businesses and the government. "Most of those changes take place in urban areas, which is where Ordnance Survey has to concentrate our resources. But if enthusiasts like Myrddyn, John and Graham have access to the same specialist equipment and want to carry out their own mountain surveys, we're very happy to talk to them", Mark adds.
Most mountain heights are calculated using aerial photography, which provides a height accurate to a few metres. The GPS equipment now being used to measure Tryfan is accurate to within just a few centimetres.
The project to resurvey Tryfan now has a YouTube channel. Clips about the project will be uploaded to the channel each week - starting with today's video, which you can see by clicking here.
Myrddyn Phillips, a member of the surveying team and the Snowdonia Society, interviewed our Director Alun Pugh as he was coming to the end of his tenure with the Society and posted the video on his personal YouTube channel here.
BBC coverage of the Tryfan project can be found here.
If you would like more information about the Welsh 3000s or to add your name to our database of those completing the challenge, go to our 14 peaks website.

MOVES LIKE JAGGER On Friday, December 9, 2011 the Swift Great Room transformed into a Winter Wonderland for the Middle Division formal. The Middle Division invited the 5th grade class to be their special guests. More than 40 students attended the formal. Students enjoyed dinner and hours of dancing with friends. These dancing machines are already asking about the dance in March!

Donated Items - The committee is seeking new items (no used or slightly used items) for both the silent and live auctions. Ask the restaurants, stores and salons you visit frequently if they would like to make a tax deductible donation. Many times the answer is YES! Sponsorship - The top three levels of sponsorships include tickets to the gala plus recognition at the event and in the printed program. Sponsorships also help the committee provide a free ticket to faculty and staff to attend the gala.

When Dale Tallon and the Chicago Blackhawks made their titanic restricted free agent qualifying offer blunder in 2009, the NHLPA filed a grievance in an attempt to help eight players go unrestricted.
Rather than leave their fate in the hands of an arbitrator, the Blackhawks proactively signed all eight to new deals — some getting market value, and others like Kris Versteeg(notes) hitting the jackpot.
The Nashville Predators have a hearing scheduled to begin on Friday for their own RFA qualifying offer goof, as the NHLPA is arguing that the team didn't send out offers to the players by a 5 p.m. deadline on June 27. Like Tallon did two years ago, GM David Poile has decided to get ahead of the issue by re-signing four players at issue:
Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has signed forwards Matt Halischuk(notes) and Nick Spaling(notes) to two-year contracts, and forwards Chris Mueller(notes) and Cal O'Reilly(notes) to one-year deals.
Halischuk's contract is worth $1.425 million, paying him $600,000 in 2011-12 and $825,000 in 2012-13 while Spaling's contract is worth $2.1 million, paying him $1 million in 2011-12 and $1.1 million in 2012-13. O'Reilly's contract will see him earn $1.05 million in 2011-12 and Mueller's two-way contract will see him paid $550,000 at the NHL level and $65,000 at the AHL level.
The one name missing here is the one name Predators fans should be most concerned about: Winger Sergei Kostitsyn(notes), 23, who led the team with 23 goals and 50 points last season, his best offensive year as a pro. He's filed for arbitration, should his restricted free-agent status be upheld.
Josh Cooper of The Tennessean isn't optimistic about that, given today's news:
By signing these players, you have to wonder about Nashville's confidence in regards to this hearing. Signing them before the hearing gave the players' agents more leverage, though their raises weren't that astronomical. Maybe Nashville wasn't confident about its case. And if so, then what does that mean for Sergei Kostitsyn. If the arbitrator sides with the NHLPA, Kostitsyn will become an unrestricted free agent. We all knew Kostitsyn was going to cash in on his 2010-11 season, where he led Nashville in goals, and he appears poised to do so.
Considering the UFA market is down to guys like Alex Kovalev(notes) and J.P. Dumont(notes), who was on the Preds' fourth line last season, an unrestricted Kostitsyn would garner heavy interest; and he wouldn't be the first player this summer to turn one solid offensive year into a payday. This case is one to watch, for sure.

Just returned from a five day stay at this resort - Villa 1009 - which was close to the main pool, activities building, etc. It was a great choice for vacationing as a family with the fully equipped kitchen and family living area on the main floor. Close to a wide choice of restaurants and short drive to a grocery store. All appliances worked well and the only challenge was the poor Wifi reception in the evening. Since we use it for daily research, it did create some challenges but we learned to work around it. We did not use the shuttle service as we had rented a car but heard from others that it was a good alternative to driving to Universal and Disney. Pool area, fitness and steam/sauna facilities great - nice to have heated pools since weather was a bit on the cool side. Would consider this resort if returning to Orlando

Un po 'molto bello autonomo appartamento con un padrone di casa molto cordiale e accomodante proprio accanto. NB L'unico bagno è il padrone en-suite, quindi la seconda camera non è davvero ideale per gruppi di adulti.Will2015-07-08T00:00:00Z
We had a brilliant time in the flat. Lovely views, clean, well equipped and spacious enough for 4 people and very well situated to go to the beach or go further afield. Bronwen is very friendly. She left us the use of her garden which was lovely and we had access to table tennis and washing machine. I would highly recommend it. Thank you!Florence2015-04-08T00:00:00Z
Bronwen fue flexibles con los horarios de llegada y salida, que era genial. El piso es sencillo pero limpio y todo funcionaba. Es un muy buen lugar para un fin de semana familiar con una habitación separada para nuestras hijas adolescentes.Nanna2016-03-29T00:00:00Z
Bronwen's place is a perfect location for coastal walks and exploring the area. Tea, coffee and milk were provided which was a delight after a long drive down.Vicki2017-04-17T00:00:00Z
Bronwen is a lovely lady and she made us feel very welcome as soon as we had arrived. The apartment was perfect in every way and I will definetely be returning! Thank you Bronwen :-)Stefanie2016-07-28T00:00:00Z
Tuvimos una gran estancia en Thurlestone. Un pequeño apartamento encantador en en un lugar fantástico. Grandes vistas hacia la playa de Bantham, hermoso jardín ... y mi hijo le encantó la mesa de ping-pong en el garaje.Laszlo2015-07-03T00:00:00Z
We loved it. It was great little break from hectic London. Bronwen is great host. Her apartment was clean and very comfortable.Mihaela2017-02-27T00:00:00Z
Two of us stayed here for four days. Warm welcome when we arrived with the accommodation pretty much as we expected. It was comfortable, clean and roomy for two which was good when the weather wasn't too good. A small posy of fresh flowers from the garden was a nice touch and appreciated. The apartment is about fifteen minutes walk downhill to the coast and also about twenty minutes through to Bantham. Local pubs serving food are found in Thurlestone and Bantham with Thurlestone having the edge on comfort and quality of food (interestingly this went against the run of advice in Trip Advisor). The local shop is basic. Stock up well before you arrive if you plan to cook for yourselves. For what we paid, this was just right for our needs.Nicholas2015-07-25T00:00:00Z

Kay was very helpful and easy to communicate with! Fresh flowers were a nice extra and milk and butter was ready in the fridge! Area is great for walking or just relaxing by the beach! Really great terrace for sun lounging and very secluded and not overlooked! Lots of space in the room and plenty of wardrobe space and superb bath!! Would thoroughly recommend as one of the best places to stay in the area!!alina2017-05-26T00:00:00Z
Kay's place is a lovely annex that is well equipped in a beautiful Devonshire valley. It is 5 minutes drive to Bantham and South Milton beaches which are some of the most lovely beaches in Devon. The annex has a sofa bed and a double bed which is very comfortable. It has everything we needed for a comfortable stay with two young children. It's a little spot of paradise and very easy to switch off and relax there. We will be back!Lizzie2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

The terrace is beautifully private and feels like you have the whole valley to yourself with its views of green hills and a few cows. A car is essential but that's fairly obvious in this part of Devon, and the area around is a must for exploring with Bantham beach and Salcombe high on the agenda. Kay is a great host and could not have been more helpful and welcoming. This property was a real gem to discover.Clare2017-05-15T00:00:00Z
Fantastischer Ort und fabelhafte Gastgeber xxxMichelle2017-01-28T00:00:00Z
Kay Ort ist eine wunderschöne ruhige Oase von der Außenwelt. Kay war sehr hilfsbereit mit Wegbeschreibungen zu der Wohnung und mit allem, was wir brauchten. Es war toll, zu dem schönen Bantham Strand gehen zu können und die Sloop Inn - tolles Pub! Alles in allem ein sehr schönes Wochenende an der Küste :)Elise2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
Driftwood is a lovely hideaway, down a beautiful valley and close to one of the best bits of coast and beach in Devon. Kay gave us a lovely welcome, nothing was too much trouble, and the apartment was really comfortable, very well equipped and maintained - and had a great shower!Tom2017-05-04T00:00:00Z
The location, the view, the flat, the hostess - all great without a doubt. I would not hesitate to recommend this property. Thank you Kay. Top marks.Barbara2017-05-02T00:00:00Z
Driftwood is an absolute gem. Just 15 mins walk from the amazing Bantham Beach and surrounded by beautiful countryside, this lovely little property makes for a perfect base to explore this part of Devon. Kay is an exceptional host who made us feel so welcomed from her first email to us checking-out on the final day. I would definitely recommend Driftwood for a couple looking for a romantic rural getaway or a small family looking for a pleasant beach holiday. We look forward to a return visit!James Ross2017-04-20T00:00:00Z

Katie era extremadamente servicial y respondió a todas las preguntas muy rápidamente. El apartamento era incluso mejor de lo descrito. Amueblado y equipado a un nivel muy alto. Pero lo mejor fue la vista impresionante - las fotos del sitio web no le hacen justicia! La ubicación es perfecta para explorar el sur de Devon, visitamos Salcombe, Kingsbridge, Dartmouth y Paignton y descubrimos cómo delicioso el cercano pueblo de Modbury es! Sin duda volveremos - pero por más tiempo la próxima vez. Trevor y SarahTrevor2015-11-07T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at Annabel's lovely cottage in Devon! We were so pleasantly surprised by how spacious and cosy it felt. CDs and games available for our use, a well-equipped kitchen, comfy clean bedroom and a modern, clean bathroom. Great natural light from large skylights! The cottage is very well positioned...about a 20 minute walk to the beach and about 15 minute drive from a large Tesco for supplies. Annabel was helpful and responsive with messages before our stay. Definitely recommend for a cosy getaway by the seaside.Jennifer2016-09-26T00:00:00Z
Wow, was für eine tolle Unterkunft! Das Haus ist wunderschön und Licht und alles, was wir brauchten, war da. Alles war sehr sauber und ordentlich wir kommen und wieder hier übernachten, vor allem, weil der Strand ist so nah, und wir haben einige schöne Spaziergänge an der Küste.Bas2014-06-20T00:00:00Z
A fabulous cottage in a wonderfully quiet area. Great location for discovering Devon. Annabel was a lovely host with the cottage catering for all our needs.Lynne2015-06-26T00:00:00Z
We hielden echt van het verblijf in het huisje. Het is zo dicht bij de zee en we kregen te veel verschillende stranden langs de kust te bezoeken. Dankjewel.Becs2015-03-30T00:00:00Z
Annabel's cosy cottage was a great getaway. She was super helpful and friendly. We would stay again.Scott2015-08-26T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay in the Keeping Cottage with our 3 month old baby. It was rather cosy but fine for the 3 of us and had all the amenities we needed. The beach cafe down the toad was amazing but very popular so you do need to book in advance for dinner which unfortunately we were not aware of, had a lovely breakfast there instead though. We didn't get to meet Annabel as she was abroad during our stay but we did Find a few booklets in the cottage on the local area so managed to so a bit of research and get our and about exploring.Laura2014-08-30T00:00:00Z
The apartment was lovely and close enough to the beach. Very cosy and everything you needed! Bed was very comfy and love the decor! Thank you for a great New Years!Lauren2016-01-02T00:00:00Z

We had a fab time and we felt instantly welcome. My partner had to be with her Mother whilst she was recovering from an operation, meaning that she could not come on holiday with myself and the children. Gill was especially understanding and stayed in contact with Cerrie to let her know how we were getting on, which was a very kind and thoughtful thing to do. The apartment was perfect for us and the area is beautiful. We would highly recommend and hope to return again soon – We had fun.Cerrie2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

We had such a great week, the cottage is lovely, clean, cosy, close to all the great beaches, pubs & restaurants. We arrived to delicious home made cake and a fab full on description of the area. Our hosts were so helpful and kind, I would have no hesitation in recommending Foxhole Cottage, to families,couples young and old & friends who just want to hang out and get away from it all!!Patricia2017-04-02T00:00:00Z
Just returned from a great week at Foxhole Cottage. We arrived to the best hot cross buns I have ever tasted, fresh spring flowers and lots of useful information on the area. The cottage was clean, lovely and had everything we needed including a BBQ and everything you could need for a day at the beach. Our host (Rachel) was very kind and helpful and I would highly recommend this property to families and friends (young and old) who wish to enjoy the local area including the beautiful beaches, pubs and villages. We hope to return again this Summer. Thank you.Sarah2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

Ben is the perfect host and responded promptly to all communication. The flat is charming, immaculate and well equipped. Great WiFi and full Sky package. The spectacular view in particular warrants a special mention! Location wise, the town centre and amenities are within 5 minutes walk and the local beaches are very close, 5 minutes drive. We loved our time there!Eva2016-09-16T00:00:00Z
The flat was perfect for our needs. We have two small children who enjoyed having their own room. The space seems actually larger than in the pictures and Ben was the perfect host. It's very close to local shops, supermarkets and pubs. The views are lovely from the lounge and attic room. There is good off street parking. We would definitely stay again.Scott2016-12-26T00:00:00Z

Een korte wandeling naar de hoofdstraat, een eigen parkeerplaats en een goed gevulde keuken betekent dat er is alles wat we nodig hebben. Communicatie met Ben is geweldig en hij is snel te reageren. We komen terug!Gail2016-12-19T00:00:00Z

Although we didn't meet Lindsay during our stay the communication beforehand was excellent. The flat is lovely and spacious and perfectly placed in Kingsbridge being only a short walk to the centre of the town and the quay. It also has a lovely view over the town and a veranda at the front that we would have loved to have made use of had the weather been better. The flat is equipped with everything you could possibly need and was warm and beautifully clean. The basket of goodies supplied was a lovely touch. I would definitely recommend it as a place to stay if you wish to visit this area, and we hope to return next time we are in the area.Carol2017-05-01T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay in Lindsay's beautiful spacious flat. It was very comfortable and close to the small town centre with shops and great pubs. It was family friendly and a great base from which to explore the sights of South Devon. Highly recommended. Many thanks Lindsay!Helen2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time staying at Juliet and Nancy's place. The location was perfect on the main street but still felt nice and quiet. The house was really well equipped and had everything we needed for a lovely few nights away. Juliet had kindly left us some fresh bread and hot cross buns. Would highly recommendEmma2015-04-07T00:00:00Z
Juliet answered all booking queries promptly and in a friendly manner. She left breakfast groceries which were very welcome.

Thyme retreat was a quite, homely getaway, right in the centre of Kingsbridge but tucked away from the hustle and bustle. The room itself was clean and comfortable with a lovely view of the beautiful garden. We didn't meet Phil bit he was great at communicating, giving us tips on parking too. All in all, a great place to stay to explore the stunning Devon coastline. Highly recommended.Laura2016-08-31T00:00:00Z
My all too short stay in this lovely little town of Kingsbridge was made really special by being in this space. The sofa that turns into a bed was remarkably comfortable and I slept so well. All the details of the room and bathroom have been thought out with such detail it feels much bigger than it is. It is lovely to wake up and look out into the garden, even though it is as central as could possibly be in the town. Very close to bus stop, which is a big plus if you are on public transport. Communication was super easy and Becks and Phil seem to be very lovely people. I would love to come and stay longer next time.Linnea2016-11-16T00:00:00Z

Lätt att underhålla, allt väsentligt levereras inklusive te, kaffe, mjölk, spannmål osv Phil träffade mig strax efter jag kom och skickade honom ett meddelande, mycket vänliga och hjälpsamma. Gott att äta (och dricka) platser inom gångavstånd. Jag går till Kingsbridge två gånger om året för att spela golf på banor i området med vänner och kommer förhoppningsvis stanna igen, och ser fram emot några varmare morgnar sitter i trädgården med min kopp te !!Peter2016-10-10T00:00:00Z

This is a great apartment in a absolutely beautiful location. The main lounge had huge windows with views across a small valley and out to sea and everything was very clean and comfortable, with great decor and lovely homely touches. The kitchen has all the facilities that you could need (including a steam oven - that we didn't manage to find a use for!). Great wifi kept the teenagers happy and just a 15 minute walk into Salcombe and 5 minutes to a beautiful beach. Just be prepared for the steep hills! Great comms and easy check-in.John2017-02-16T00:00:00Z
No pictures do Sophie's place justice! The views are simply breathtaking from the patio, bedrooms and living room - I could spend hours on the sofa gazing out towards the sea and the trees. I visited with my husband and in-laws for three nights and loved the flat for its views, location, general amenities and comfort. It was lovely to have breakfast on the patio one sunny morning. Just a five-minute drive into Salcombe and the flat's proximity to several lovely coastal trails meant we made the most of our stay. The kitchen is very well-equipped and everything was absolutely spick and span when we got there. I would certainly recommend a stay here. In fact, we're already talking about when we can visit next!Anjali2017-04-24T00:00:00Z
Sophie's apartment is absolutely idyllic. We stayed up with 3 babies and it was so well equipped, light/ airy, clean, furnished tastefully and the view is exceptional. We look forward to returning! Thank you xanna2017-04-28T00:00:00Z
Gorgeous apartment with lovely sea views that are better than in the pictures . It's a short walk from town and is a great place to relax and watch the wonderful views.Sarah2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
We had an excellent week at 6 Hazeldean. It's even better than described and as well as the super views, the attention to detail in the apartment was much appreciated. Everything you need for a comfortable holiday is there and you hardly need to use the car being only 5 mins (albeit steep) walk to North Sands and 15-20mins to town (you need to be fit for the hills, to be fair!). Overbecks House (National Trust) is walking distance (25 mins steep) and worth a visit. We went to two restaurants in town, the Victoria, mid priced pub/restaurant and Salcombe Spa 'the Jetty' which is more expensive and up-market. Would recommend either. Guests with small children need to be careful with the low balcony on the decking. And the steps down from the carpark and path from Sandhill Rd could be tricky for less able bodied people. We had a fab visit, and even had some early spring sunshine!Michael2017-04-01T00:00:00Z
Really lovely property in an ideal location for easy access to Salcombe and the surrounding areas. The property was immaculately clean, very well equipped and beautifully presented. Beds we're really comfortable, lots of draws / hanging space in bedrooms. Stunning views from the property, October weather didn't allow use of the decking, but would be wonderful in warmer weather... kids enjoyed the garden. Lovely welcoming touches - fresh flowers, hand soap, milk in fridge and chocs on arrival (..or maybe we were lucky that previous guests had left themAmy2016-10-26T00:00:00Z

The United States is a nation of immigrants. For centuries, aspiring Americans have traveled through our ports and borders to build a better life for themselves and their children. The pluralistic society that has resulted is one of our country's greatest sources of strength. As faith and community leaders in central Indiana, we stand together in urging our Members of Congress to act now to fix our country's broken immigration system.
There are currently an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living and working in the United States without legal status. Relegated to living in the shadows, these individuals are vulnerable to harassment and exploitation. The current status quo is devastating families, damaging communities, and threatening the moral fabric of our country. The deportation of 95,000 parents of U.S. citizen children from October 2011 to September 2012 is inconsistent with American values, and is a stain on our national conscience.
Throughout Indiana, our churches, synagogues, temples, and mosques have opened their arms and their hearts to help immigrants start a new life. As the faith community, we will continue to embrace refugees who have experienced unspeakable hardship, violence, and oppression. In return, these new neighbors have become vibrant participants in – and contributors to – our houses of worship, schools, and communities, embracing the Hoosier traditions of hard work, family unity, and faith values.
We are called to action due to the moral imperative before us. Our faith demands of us concern for the stranger in our midst: "When strangers sojourn with you in your land, you shall not do them wrong. The strangers who sojourn with you shall be to you as the natives among you, and you shall love them as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt" [Leviticus 19:33-34]. We are commanded to speak out in support of a just, humane, and compassionate immigration system, and we are proud to come together with people of all faiths, from across the political spectrum, to support our Members of Congress as they take the bold and necessary steps to bring our country's moral thread in line with our immigration laws.
We therefore applaud the bipartisan effort that has brought a bill to the Senate Floor that will increase border security, reform our immigration system, and offer a just path to citizenship. This bill will improve protections for refugee families, unaccompanied children, stateless persons, and those who have worked alongside our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Like the many aspiring citizens who for years have held on to hope for a better life, we too stand in hope that Senator Coats and Senator Donnelly will help realize the promise of our nation by supporting the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act. Seizing this historic opportunity will strengthen our economy and meet our biblical obligation to remember that we were strangers too. Please, join us in making the call (literally!) to Senator Coats and Senator Donnelly: tell them that now is the time to enact comprehensive immigration reform.
