The statistician W. Edwards Deming famously said, "In God we trust, all others must bring data."

Until he retired in 2013, Chaplain Ralph Benson roamed the crowded hallways of Dulles International Airport, counseling up to 12 people a day. His sacred meeting places? The closest Chipolte or Five Guys. He talked to Maureen in 2010 about serving a unique flock.

Muslims have just begun the holy month of Ramadan, which honors the miraculous evening, some 1400 years ago, when an angel revealed the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad.
