I had read the story, so media covered it at some level.   It is a beautiful thing and a solid show of what I believe is the moving of the spirit drawn toward love.    Religions are human institutions that discriminate as to who receives God's grace or love.    There are those of us who feel that is a gift available to all people, regardless of religious affiliation, even in the total absence of any religious inclination.   

It's a rare and beautiful moment when people are drawn to the universal values of love and compassion, minus the labels.
