The Rev. Diane Riley, a Deacon in the Diocese of Newark, is quoted in this article.
[NJToday] Those who receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, will see a decrease in their assistance come Nov. 1. The reduction in benefits comes because a 2009 law temporarily increasing SNAP benefits during the recession has run out. The cut comes right before the holiday season and those involved in food banks and food pantries in New Jersey believe it will be devastating for those in the state who need the help.

[The Star-Ledger] Some church leaders around the state were sent scrambling to rework their services this weekend after a state Supreme Court decision affirmed that gay couples in New Jersey can begin getting married on Monday.
The Rev. Cynthia Black, lead pastor at the Church of the Redeemer in Morristown, said she had to quickly rewrite her sermon after the court ruled Friday not to overturn a Mercer County judge’s declaration that same-sex couples in the state could be legally married.
