This section really doesn't belong with the article, to be frankly honest. The group of "Amish" that was involved in this are a very, very tiny group of people that may have grown up Amish, but are not in the mainstream of Amish any more. Just because someone was born Amish does not make them "Amish" forever, if they change their way of life and thinking. Probably 99% of Amish know nothing about this supposed "reconciliation" and would not feel that these types of "reconciliation" meetings really accomplish anything tangible, for events that happened two centuries ago. I would like comments on the proposal to eliminate the section.

'''[[Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral]]''' is a [[Gothic Revival]] three-spire cathedral in the city of [[Cork (city)|Cork]], [[Ireland]]. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879. The cathedral is located on the south side of the River Lee, on ground that has been a place of worship since the 7th century, and is dedicated to [[Finbarr of Cork]], patron saint of the city. It was once in the Diocese of Cork; it is now one of the three cathedrals in the [[Church of Ireland]] Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, in the ecclesiastical province of [[Dublin]]. Christian use of the site dates back to a 7th-century AD monastery, which according to legend was founded by Finbarr of Cork. The entrances contain the figures of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene.

A suicide attack on [[July 11]]th claimed by [[Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant|Islamic State (IS)]] near a church in the [[Syria|Syrian]] city of [[Qamishli]] shows that Christians remain a major target of the terror group.

'''''When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships''''' is a 1999 book by [[Eric Ludy|Eric]] and [[Leslie Ludy]], an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, [[courtship]], and marriage. The authors advise [[Single person|single people]] not to be [[Physical intimacy|physically]] or [[Emotional intimacy|emotionally intimate]] with others, but to wait for the spouse that [[Will of God|God has planned]] for them.
The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's [[Personal god#Christianity|relationship with God]]. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly [[Chastity|unchaste]] or [[Sexual abuse|sexually abused]] individuals.
