Sorority honors leaders Submitted Photo The RHO Zela Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. recently gathered at a local restaurant to thank out going President Dr. Mesia Steed (left) for her leadership and wel come incoming presi dent Deborah Roseboro. Priest from page B4 racially and ethnically identifiable southern city like Winston-Salem. He spent most of his life in an area where most of the res idents and communities surrounding his parishes were either Catholic or knew lots of people who were Catholic. That is not the case in Winston-Salem. And then there is the obvi ous fact that he, a Caucasian, Italian priest, is now a minority in his own church and neighborhood. These factors are enough to at least prompt pause among even the most determined, but Forte rel ishes the opportunity to push through barriers and have real impact. "Of course there are challenges," says Forte, who volunteered to come to this diocese when he heard there was a shortage of priests. "But we're going to be like the Apostles themselves. Do you think they didn't face challenges? That's why this outreach is so impor tant. Challenges make it fun and worthwhile. Forte and the St. Benedict's congregation also hope to be a catalyst for additional bridge build ing among the varying denominations in Winston Salem. The parish has been offering "inquiry" sessions intended to allow the com; munity at large to learn more about the Catholic faith and its beliefs. Taking first steps, the St. Benedict's congregation is busy planning a Feast Day celebration in April honor ing its namesake, St. Benedict the Moor, who was born of slaves but freed and became known for his great charity. The church is preparing for its 75th anniversary in 2015. Learn more at www.charlottediocese .org or b\ calling 704-370 6299.

The host pastors are Sapp Peppers from puge B4 week's Scriptures. James wants all believers to know that practical appli cation of their faith is vital. What we think, say, and do reflects who we are. Typical examples of that time are used. I'm sure that we can come up with our own 21st centu ry ones. Our faith must be useful. This means that believers can not get caught up in religious rhetoric and look the other way. Both Abraham and Rahab are justified (made righteous) because they did the right thing believ ing that God would make a way. They trusted God, even in the face of great loss and death! Faith and works are inseparable. To simply believe that there is one God really doesn't say much. After all, the devil knows that. Our behavior * shouldn't resemble the world. Believers, like trees, are to be known by the fruits they bear. Becoming kind, gentle, patient, mer ciful and humble can only happen because one trusts in God to direct his/her path. That's trans formation. If one believes "about" God only, where's the growth? Application: Having a posture of piety is just that - an image that means nothing. Volume XII (12) of the Interpreter's Bible Commentary states "that sitting in the assembly of worship in the name of Jesus and scorning the very poor whom Jesus embraced is to confuse correct liturgy with authentic faith."
