| Rep. Tim Ryan on the Power of Mindful Meditation |

Breathe in, breathe out: while most of us are rushing to get ready in the morning, Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio is sitting on a cushion, focusing on his breath.
The Catholic Congressman says mindfulness isn't just for Buddhists - or people with extra cash to spend on meditation retreats. Everyone has the ability to sit still and be 'in the moment.'

Dobbs.

Bishop Marianne Budde, the spiritual leader of some 40,000 Episcopalians in the DC-Metro area, shares the church’s official stance on homosexuality. She says attitudes are rapidly changing, and reflect a widening acceptance across all mainline churches.
