NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- A man has been convicted of voluntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment in the shooting death of a fellow churchgoer during Sunday services in a suburban Philadelphia church.

A jury convicted 46-year-old Mark Storms of Lansdale hours after beginning deliberations on Thursday in the April death of Robert Braxton III in North Wales.

About 300 congregants attended the service that day.

Every congregation should have an enforcer

because what kind of religion have you got without coercion?

Free Thinkers might expand human awareness to the point

where regimentation would make no sense
