a tragic reality for the homeless

Pastor John Hay of Indianapolis writes about attending the homeless memorial service at Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Indy.

Sadly, the names of 37 homeless neighbors who died while homeless or from the impact of homelessness were read, a higher number than usual. I recognized the names of several with whom I worked while directing Horizon House. The church bell tolled 38 times--37 times for known neighbors and one time for those known only to God.
