From Missouri-
As golden light from stained glass windows in Drury University's Stone Chapel streamed around him, the Rev. Ken Chumbley said Haiti will need an outpouring of help for a long time to pull out of its dark days.
Chumbley, who is rector of Christ Episcopal Church, has only memories left of the Episcopal cathedral in Port-au-Prince he visited just four days before an earthquake demolished the landmark church and much of the capital city.
During a homily given during a prayer service for earthquake victims, Chumbley said he has been wearing a special wooden cross given to him by a Haitian priest.
"When I wear it, I feel close to the people of Haiti," Chumbley said. "When I wear it, they are close to my heart."
