Pastor: Stop executions

By "Persian Cowboy"

In offering Monday's prayer in the House, the Rev. Michael Piazza of Dallas used the podium to back a moratorium on the death penalty. Just briefly.Before starting his prayer, Piazza, pastor of the Cathedral of Hope church, noted that more than 1,000 members of his congregation had signed a petition seeking a moratorium and asked lawmakers to consider such a move.After the amen, there was no rush to do so in the state with the nation's most active execution chamber.Source: Austin American-Statesman
