********************* Greetings from Toronto!
Like many Saulites and Christians worldwide, I have been following the news re: the Canadian hostages in Iraq.
One of the hostages, James Loney, is a friend from St. Mary's College.
We were active participants in the Church, and were self-proclaimed "Encounterites" – and ironically, live in the same neighborhood just minutes from each other here in Toronto.
I knew he was abroad and doing what he loved most – helping people and being part of the solution.
Everything the media has said about James being a nice guy is true.
He's devoted his entire life to mission work, community service local/abroad, activism – to mention but a few.
James is truly a remarkable human being and an example of selfless service to mankind.
Please sign the online petition to save him and his colleagues.
Also, please keep them in your prayers.
